Rebate of Coal Duties.

The House of Representatives on Wednes-
day rushed through ii bill authorizing and re-
curing the Secretary of the Treasury TO make
full rebate of duties imposed by law on all
coal of every form imported into the United
States for one year, and the bill is to take ef-
feet from the date of passage.
The bill should have been passed month
ago, in the first place, and its form is open to
objection 1t should have repealed the coal
duties direct What will be the use of col
lecting the coal tax at the port ofentry, cover
ing it into the treasury and paying it back to
the importer?
The cause of this action is very plain. Tar
if legislation is a dangerous undertaking for
the High Protection Republicans-the Re-
publicans who believe in levyng taxes with
protection as the object and revenue as the
incident. A direct repeal bill would have
opened tariff debate in the Senate by the
offering of amendments, and then, too, if the
duty on coal was repealed there was strong
probability of the duties not being restored in
year or at all.

Must Have Felt Guilty.

Gov Murphy, Of New Jersey, must have
keenly felt the reproach in which his state is
held throughout most of the country as to cor
porations, when he took occasion in his mes
sage to the Legislature to defend the corpora
ton laws of the state as beneficial and not
illiberal and unwse.
He even declared, ''as a matter OF fact,
that there are few, if any, real trusts, and the
name is given promiscuously to large corpo'
rations."
Gov. Murphy, however, laid bare his per-
sonal views, when, with boastfulness, ne
stated that in the last ten years the corporations
organized under ''our bene6cent laws have
paid the State thirteen millions of dollars.
For the past three years the tax paid by cor
poratons has averaged over two millions, two
hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars.
The fact that New Jersey is a favorite place
to get an act of incorporation Is sufhclen'
evidence that larger powers can be obtained
there than elsewhere, except, perhaps, IN
Delaware and West Virginia, two other States,
like New Jersey, which have fallen into Re-
publican hands in recent years.
If there is not better opportunity under
the corporation laws of New Jersey TO swindle
the public in some form why are so many com
panes incorporated there? If Gov. Murphy
should reply that the incorporation laws OF
New Jersey are more liberal and better for
the public good, he would have to go further
and explain why other States did not adopt
her laws and reap some of the incorporation
tax that New Jersey now receives.

Give Us Coal.

This Is the cry throughout the country.
The unusual cold and snow made people
desperate Mayors and City Councils have
takeu up the matter to protect suffering hu-
mainly from extortion in price by dealers.
In Congress the Judiciary Committee has
resolution under consideration as to the
powers of the government to seize the mines
and coal roads.
In some States the legislatures are seeing
what can be done.
The present situation did not require a
prophet to foresee, and if remedies of relief
can be now be devised much of the suffering
could have been avoided by putting plans and
acts in operation two months ago. And
whatever plans or schemes now put in opera
ton should be continued throughout the win
ter, for the fuel supply will remain short. An
equitable distribution and protection against
extortion are important matters to be consid-
cred.

Maryland Affairs.

Their were 2l7 deaths in Baltimore last
week.
August Schwallenberg, an electrician en-
ployed in the power house at the Naval Acad-
envy, Annapolis, had his left arm badly crushed
in the machinery.
AT the Baltimore and Ohio railroad i'm
provements at North Mountain, west of Bruins
wick, Monday afternoon three Italian aborers
were very badly injured by premature ex-
plosion of dynamite.
Thomas G. Feeley, Baltimore and Ohio
brakeman, of Cumberland, fell from his train
near Hyndman and broke both of his legs and
one arm and badly injured his head. He was
taken to the hospital in Cumberland.
The family of Wilson Cochran, farmer
residing near Sassafras, Cecil county, made a
narrow escape from being cremated one night
this week. His residence, which was one of
the finest in this section of Maryland Della
ware Peninsula, together with all the furni-
ture, was destroyed.
The Western Maryland Railroad engine
men and firemen who have been running on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad between
Hagerstown and Cumberland for the past week
to help move coal were recalled because, it Is
stated, of threatened strike among the Bal
timore and Ohio enginemen and hremen.
j. w. Stephens, machnist in the Wash
ington Navy Yard and a resident of Kent dis
trict, Kent county, was killed by an express
train of the Philadelphia and Wilmington
Railway at Landover Station Wednesday at
ternoon. His body was thrown distance of
80 feet, striking the railing of the southbound
platform.
Ignatius Stegmaier, of the firm of HANG &
Stegmaier, Cum berland, walked out of win
dow in the third story of the Juniata House,
at Everett last Friday while asleep, landing
on the pavement and breaking his leg. MIR.
Stegmaier was at Everette putting in fur
mace. He says the last he remembers before
striking the pavement was kneeing by his
bed and offering prayers.
Some idea of the rate at which immigrants
are annually coming into this country may be
gained from the fact that at the port of Balti-
more alone 46, 995 steerage passengers were
landed by the North German Lloyd steamers
during 1902. The cabin passengers landed
by the company's vessels during the year
numbered !, liza. making the total number of
passengers 1872 landed there during the
year.
For several days previous to Wednesday
residents of Della and vicinity had been some
what concerned regarding the action of a
strange man who had taken up his abode in
cave on the Howard county side of the Patap
SEQ River, two miles west of Ellicott City.
The cave-dweler was first discovered few
days ago by sportsman named jenkins, who
was hunting along the bank of the river. The
man was then sitting at the little opening at
the mouth of the cave, and when Intercepted
by the sportsman he gave intelligent replies.

To The Doctors.
BALTIMORE, Nd, January 6, 1908.
DR.. CHARLES r. FuUTz Health Officer,
Wo,t,,;,,tar Md

BALTIMORE, Nd, January g. 1908.
DR.. CHARLES R. FoUTz, Health Officer,
Westminster, Md.
DEAR DOCToR:-We are advised that scar
let fever and measles are quite prevalent In
Westminster, and that the cases are not
promptly reported to you. 1t seems worth
while to advise you of penalties which have
already been put upon health officers and
pracicing physicians for neglect in such mat
tiers.
In a recent ease county health officer was
indicted upon complaint and evidence fur-
nished by citizens that he had failed to visit
family infected with diptheria, and by this
neglect allowed the inmates of the house to
visit and spread the disease to other families
The health officer was convicted.
If the health officer pleads that he cannot
enforce the law for want of support OF the
county board of health (the county commls-
sioners), the county commissioners can also
be prosecuted. This has never yet been done,
but we have the best legal authority for hold
ing that the county commissioners can be
penalized for such default.
AS respects the duty of practicing physl-
clans to notify, the law has been fully tested.
Six physicians have been prosecuted tor fall
ure to notify infectious diseases as foilows:-
Two have been convicted of failure to notify
smallpox: one has been convicted of failure
to notify measles; one physician failing, to re-
port case of typhoid fever was cleared upon
the ground that he did not know that his case
was one of typhoid feveri one charged with
failure 10 report case of dlptherla was re-
leased on default in his indictment, was re-
arrested, and having satisfied the States At
torney hat he did not know he was treating
case of diphtheria, his case was stetted; one
case of physician failing 10 notify a case OF
smallpox was postponed from time to time
and was stetted, the physicians defense be-
ing that he did not know that it was case of
smallpox. Of the six cases three then have
resulted in conviction, and three have es-
capped by pleading errors in diagnosis.
1t must be plain therefore that everyone
having duty in connection with the law on
infectious diseases and negIecting that duty
may be put to good deal of trouble by the
properly lodged complaint of any citizen.
Yours very truly,
JOHN S. FULTON,
Sec State Board of Health.

Another for Warfleld.

The ADVOCATE welcomes to the ranks of
the supporters of Hon. Edwin Warfeld for
Governor the Cecil Democrat Brother Writ
is a little late getting in line, but, then, he
has not been long at the Democratic helm.
There are not more than two or three Demo.
cratic papers in the State that have not an,
nounced preference for Mr.. Warfeld, and
there is not much doubt that he will have the
solid backing of the Democratic press for the
nomination.
The Democrats article is quite forcible but
has an error in it that must not be permitted
to pass unnoticed. Mr.. Warfeld is spoken
of as out of politics. He has not been in
politics as an officehoder for some years, but
he has always taken active interest in the
success of the Democratic party.

SMOOT NAMED BY REPUBLI-
GAN CAUCUS.
Mormon Apostle Nominated on First
Ballot to Be Next Senator From
Utah.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, January 14.-At a
caucus of Republican members of the legis-
lature tonight Reed Smoot, of Provo, an
apostle in the Mormon Church, was chosen as
the Republican nominee for United States
senator to succeed Senator Jaseph l.. Raw
Inns, whose term of Office will expire March
next. This nomination is equivalent to an
election.
Tonight's caucus was attended by all but
seven ofthe Republican members of the legis
lature. The first and only ballot resulted:
Reed Smoot, 35; Congressman George Suther-
land, 6; George M. Cannon, 2; Governor
Heber NJ. Wells, 2.
After the result was announced the last three
named candidates withdrew and the noml-
nation of Smoot was made unanimous.
Reed Smoot was born in Salt Lake City in
January, 1862. He has been, since 1883, a
member of the Council of Twelve Apostles
of the Mormon Church, and therefore is in
direct line with the presidency of the church:
Previous to his candidacy for the United
States Senate, which was announced last
spring, he had never taken any important
part in the political affairs of the state.
Mr.. Smoot is interested in number of i'm
portant manufacturing and mining enterprises
of the state and considered wealthy. He was
married in September, 1894, and has five
children. He is a monogamist.
