HOT FOOTING It AFT TER
THE COLOREO MAN /.
Ex-Governor Frank Brown Carries His
Crusade Into Garrett County
WHERE THIRTY COLORED VOTERS
Are Registered-Game Hardly Worth
The Candle-Wants to Form Or
ganization of His Own and Scalp
A. p. German.

Ex-Governor Frank Brown, of
Maryland, came a u the way from his
home in Baltimore last Sunday af-
ternoon, ARRIVING here about six
O'Clock, to confer with the leaders
of his party in this section relative to
the lormation of a Parker and Davis
League. To a per on with little
bit of foresight it is evident that the
former Governor IS playing politics
for Brown and not for Parker and
Davis, as in every county these Sc
called Leagues have been formed,
the expenses being met from the pri-
waite purse of Mr.. Brown, whose OBJ
ject is to form little organization of
the leaders" in every section of the
State and then when the time is pro-
pitious launch himself upon the I'M
suspecting public as candidate for
the United States Senate to succeed
Mr.. German, whose term will expire
few years hence. By the formation
of these Leagues" Mr.. Brown will
draw about himself the leaders in
every county end the representatives
in the LegislatpreM Y of course dance
to the tune played by Mr.. Brown.
The Ex-Governor was preceded to
Oakland by his tidus Achates, Rowler-
son, whose visit recalled to memory
one made by I'm in former Yeas
when he attempted to run a Demo
cratic convention here and narrowly
escaped physical '1jr"y at the hands
of some of the Garrett Countians who
made it quite plain that they could
conduct their own affairs. Rowler-
son left OAKLAND that night wiser
but poorer man, the campaign funds
which he brought with him having
fallen in . the hands of one who
knew too well but not wisely, how to
disburse money not his own.
Mr.. Brown in his conferences with
the local bosses at the Oakland Hotel,
where headquarters We're established,
maui IO SIlOIU " COuCtdl Glc ldCU
that he considered the race question
as tn, -vitG' issue. He declared that
the people of Maryland had to do
something to protect themselv from
the "nigger." 1t was necessary to
prepare for next year, when the con-
stitutional adm endment question
would be brought forward. The
fight must be kept up, he declared.
He referred to the alleged deplorable
condition in Southern Maryland,
where because of the prominence of
the negro, land was only worth from
50 to 50 an acre. AS in previous adj
dresses he charged Pr, sident Roose-
welt with bringing the race issue to
the front.
There is great danger indeed from
negro supremacy in Garrett where
the negro vote is about thirty in all.
But then Mr.. Brown must have some
excuse for visiting Garrett county
and this answered as we'll as any.
Another meeting will be held here
on Friday when the organization OF
the Brown League for the Over
throw of German" VIII be completed.
All Democrats to show their LOYALTY
to Parker and Davis must be present.

WAGES OE RAILWAY employees,

The Democratic Textbook has
reck lesslY ventured on the discussion
of wages and admits that railroad
labor affords the most accurate bar
ometer of wages Then it seeks to
show that the wages of railway en-
ployes advanced only one-half per
cent from 1899 to 1902. The editor
of the Democratic bible very discreet
ly passes entirely over the Democrat
ic Administration of Grover Cleve-
land and goes back to the prosperous
days of the Administration of Benja-
min Harrison when wages were high
er than ever before known.
From 1892 to 1897 we had a Demo
cratic Administration for four years;
wages went down and also the num-
Der of men employed decreased accor-
ding to the estimate of Samuel Com
pers, more than three million, This
was true of railroad labor as well as
of factory labor In 1898 at the close
of the Harrison Administration there
were 173,600 men employed by the
railways, and in 1894, after one year
of Democratic Administration this
number was reduced to 779, 600, de-
crease of $4,000 employees. The wages
of those remaining were reduced and
the men engaged in railroad work did
not receive either the work or the
wages that they did under Harrison.
In 1898, after one year of Republican
Administration, the number of men
employed by the railroads was again
substantially as in 1898. when the for
mer Republican Administrative closed
and in 1908 the work and wages on
the railways had increased until there
was one million, three hundred and
twelve thousand, five hundred and
twenty-seven employees receiving
wages amounting to $751;, 200, 900.
This is an increase of nearly 20 per
cent. in employment and wages for
railway men, and it runs through al ]

THE COMMON SENSE OF 1T.

Discussion of political proceeds
these days mainly along the broad
lines of Presidential politics. The
spectacular battle is the one of the
heavy artillery. That is well and
good; but it must not be forgotten
that the TANKS must be protected.
Picket lines must be thrown out, the
reserves must be at hand and a sharp
lookout maintained to see that while
the maiu battle is raging, the enemy
does not come around the rear and
ham-striug the horses.
In other words, there is a Repub-
lican House of Representative to be
elected TO support ana sustain the
hand of a Repu blican President, if
the people decide for one, and to work
in harmony with the Republican
Senate, already elected, and which
cannot be ousted by the next cleo
| tion.
1t is undeniable to the interest of
| the business man, the farmer, the
office man on a salary, and the man
who works with his hands, guided
by an intelligent brain to fashion
and artitice the raw material into the
! fabric of commerce. 1t is to the in
terest of all of these that they should
weigh well and consider all the issue
of this campaign when about tosmake
up their minds on the Congressional
ticket
In the first place, it cannot be de-
MED that the American voters have
very significantly expressed their
preferences heretofore as between
Republican and Democratic Con-
crosses. A moments run back over
the trails Of memory will recall the
camp fires of successive Republican
victories on the field of national
politics.
1t was after the Fifty-third Con-
gress had wrecked its will upon ma
tiOnal legislation and left heritage
of disaster and industrial misfortune
to the entire country that the people
began to consider the Importance OF
the Congressional elections. They
realized that while the process of
building up prosperity under legis-
lation was long and slow, it was
mighty easy to tear down good times
with bad legislation. They were then
experiencing a demonstration of that
fact in the operation of the Wilson
Tariff Bill, which was rapidly closing
up all the factories, turning men off
railroads, curtailing the market of
the farmers for their produce and
making havoc generally.
The result of this contemplation
was the election of a Republican
House of Representatives for the
Fifty-fourth Congress. We have had
a Republican House ever since, and
if the good Lord is as merciful to us
this year as for the past ten years, we
will have another Republican House
tHls lldll
The questions at issue are the
same now as they have been in the
past; it is question of protection or
free trade; of perfecting the financial
system or weakening it; of continu-
ing the good work in the Philippines
or ''scuttling." There are numerous
subsidiary issues, but these are prin-
cipal ones and the people have spok-
en- at the polls on all of them. There
is no new or strange doctrine.
The whole question is one OF good
sense, Americanism and the best in
terest of all the people, the answer
being to return Republican House
of Representatives.

EDWARD
WHITE

A man who could interpret it even q
little into the speech OF. everyday COM
fort and expediehcy possessed strong
claim to their imaginations. When he
had finished these practical affairs they
wanted him to sit down and tell them
more things-to dine with them, to
smoke about their camp fire in the
evening. But here they encountered a
decided check. Thorpe became silent,
almost morose. He talked in monosyl-
lables and soon went away. They did
not know what to make of him and so
were Of course the more profoundly in
terested. The truth was his habitual
reticence would not have permitted a
great degree of expansion in any case,
but now the presence Of Hilda made
any but an attitude of hushed waiting
tor her words utterly impossible to him.
However, when he discovered that
Hilda had ceased visiting the clump
of pines near the pole trail his desire
forced him back among these people.
He used to walk in swiftly at almost
any time Of day, casting quick glances
here and there in search of his divin-
ity.
"How do, Mrs. Cary" he would say.
"Nice weather. Enjoying yourself?"
On receiving the reply he would an.
swer heartily, ''That's good," and lapse
into silence. When Hilda was about
he followed every movement of hers
with his eyes, so that his strange con-
duct lacked no explanation or inter
probation, in the minds Of the women
at least. Thrice he redeemed his repu-
tation for being an interesting char
acter by conducting the party on little
expeditions here and there about the
country. Then his woodcraft and re-
sourcefulness spoke for him. They
asked him about the numbering op.
erations, but he seemed Indifferent.
Nothing to interest you," he affirm
ed. "We're just cutting roads now
You ought to be here for the drive"
Once he took them over to see Camp
One. They were immensely pleased
and were correspondingly loud in ex-
carnations. Thorpe's comments were
brief and dry. On the way back for
the first time Thorpe found that
chance-and Mrs. Cary-had allotted
Hilda to his care.
A hundred yards down the trail they
encountered Phil. The dwarf stopped
short, looked attentively at the girl and
then softly approached. When quite
near to her he again stopped, gazing
at her with his soul in his liquid eyes.
"You are more beautiful than the sea
at night" he said directly.
The others laughed. "There's sin
cerity for you, Miss Hilda." said young
Mr.. Morton.
"Who is hep asked the girl after
they had moved on.
"Our chore boy" answered Thorpe,
with great brevity.
The rest of the party had gone ahead.
leaving them sauntering more slowly
down the trail.
''Why don't you come to the pine
grove any more?' he asked bluntly.
"Why?" countered Hilda in the man
