THE DOUBLE primary election held in Balti-
more on Tuesday, under the new law, furnish
ed good many surprises. Hon. Frank C.
Wachter, who ran against Mr.. William D.
Plat, the Republican organization candidate
for mayor, was successful by decisive ma
5ority; but Mr.. E. Clay Timanus. candidate for
president of the Second Branch City Council,
and Mr.. George r. Hefner. candidate for
Comptroller, both on the ticket with Mr.. Plat
and therefore the organization candidates,
pulled through safely. All the organization
candidates for the City Council were successful.
In the Democratic contest the organization
candidates won, viz: For Mayor, Robert M i.
McLane for Comptroller, Mr.. Harry F.
Hooper; for president Second Branch City
Council, Mr.. W. Starr Gephart. The Demo-
Gratis, who voted under the Crawford system,
directly for the candidates. poled Al 1878 votes.
Mr.. McLane's plurality was $40 and his ma
jority 9S6. The Republicans will nominate
their candidates by the old convention plan.

HOW LATE DO FROSTS COME ?

IRoNDALE, OHIO. April 18th, 1903.
Editors Baltimore County Union IL saw in your
paper of last Saturday april 4th) statement to
the effect that some one has said we are in dan
ger of frOsts until after the 18th of April. beg
to correct this by saying it is far more liable to
10th of May than until the 18th of April
From our experience last spring lin Baltimore
county. of course. meanO even May 10th would
not hold time as the limiting date, for it will be
remembered by many that we experienced a
heavy frost on May 28th, and even on June 9th
there was a light one in numerous exposed
places.
Perhaps it would be well to inquire of the
weather bureau on this important question, al
though | doubt very much If it would name a
certain date after which there were no chances
of frost. Yours respectfully,
JOHN HOWARD HOPKINS.

COMMENTING EDIToRIALLY on the result of
the primary in Baltimore ON Tuesday the
Morning Herald pays the following well de.
served compliment to Mr.. Wachter: ut is
distinctly the most notable victory of the day,
and with it ne has won the admiration of all
who enjoy a good, clean fight. People like
strong, open, earnest fighter and Mr.. Wacbter
forced the issue from the start, showing ag-
gressiveness at every point and developing
qualities as candidate that make him one of
the most remarkable figures in the politics of
this city. He comes out of the contest as the
most forceful competitor of them all, either
Democrat or Republican. He literally forced
his way to victory and you cannot discount an
achievement like that, for he has made good
and has proven that his personality is more
powerful than his own party organization,
clinching this demonstration by serene and
praiseworthy self-confidence. And on top of
all that is the fact that he has never been
defeated"

will grow there. You can raise horses, cattle

to do is to turn them loose and they will find
plenty to live on. A little more capital is all
that is needed, and it is being furnished by

A VERY bright and sensible young lady of
the booming West made this request of
friend: do not lay me down by the ripping
brookside. lest the babbling lovers wake me
from my dreams, nor in the beautiful ceme-
teries in the valleys, lest sghtseers cooling over
epitaphs distract me but let me sleep under
the counter of the merchant and business man
who never advertises. There is the peace that
passeth all understanding, and deep is the
sleep in which neither the buoyant football of
youth nor the weary shuttle of old age will
ever intrude." A whole volume of grave wis
dom can be found in that extract. The quiet
est place on earth is under the counters of

has long since demonstrated the fact and now
wit has found it out.

HE LEVY for the coming fiscal year, which
begins May 1st, was made and signed by the
County Commissioners this week and is pub
lished in the advertising columns of The
UNION today. 1t will be gratifying to the tax
payers to know that a reduction of 10 cents on
the 800 has been made and that the rate for the
coming year will be 65 cents, which is lower
than it has been for many years. The Taxa
BILE basis of the county has grown apace in the
last year and of course this had something to
do with the reduction. Some of the items
in the levy have been increased while others
have been reduced The total sum required to
conduct the affairs of the county for the COM
ing fiscal year is S6SS,S47. Among the largest
items are the following: For public schools
$4,000; roads and bridges and special road
fund, s1SO,2l7; lighting, $4,000; fire and
police departments, $780, election and reg
istration, $4,000; Jail and sheriff's office,

county, was beaten for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Comptroller in the Baltimore city
Primary on Tueday. He had held the Office
one term and made an enviabIe record, but be
was distasteful TO the bosses because they
could not control him. When he entered the
Office he promised a business administration"
and he lived up to his promise. But he re-
tanned five Republican clerks in office and this
was the kind of business that soured the
bosses, hence Mr.. Smith had to 60 down.
