OPPOSES ARMY
CAMP SITES.
Genera! Chaffee Finds Fault With
Nearly All Recommended.
FILES OBJECTION WITH SEc'Y TAFT
The Oakland Site Not Considered BY
Committee When 1t Made Its Re-
port to Congress-Our Chances
Yet Good

The army camp site is still living
issue with the people of Oakland not
withstanGing the recommendations
made by the Committee on Military
Affairs of the House which filled it's
report on the 23rd inst. wherein no
mention was made of the local site.
A letter received by the editor
from Col. Pearre states that the rec
ommendation was slipped through
the committee when a bare quorum
was present and in the absence of
the chairman, Congressman Cooper,
and that he intends to fight its adop-
ton on the floor of the House when it
is brought up.
That Oakland still has a chance to
secure one of the sites is still an open
question and is somewhat strengthen
ed by the presence here on last Fri
day and the inspection of the ground
proposed to be used by Col. H. o. S.
Heistand, Assistant Adj tant Gener-
al, and Capt. Moss, aide to Gen. Cor
bin. This was Col. Heistand's second
visit to the Oakland site and his i'm
pressions as to its desirability were
not changed in the least degree
A telegram under date at Washing
ton on the 2Sth inst. says concerning
the sites recommended by the Military
COMMITTEES
Secretary Taft has forwarded to
the Senate Military Committee with
his approval letter written by Gen
eral Chaffee, Chief of, Staff, in opposi-
ton to certain features of the bill pro-
viding for the purchase of camp sites
for military maneuvres at Conewago
Valley, Pennsylvania, at Fort Doug
las, Wisconsin, at the Henry ranch in
California, and at Fort Sam Houston,
Taxas.
General Chaffee favors the general
scheme of large maneuvering camps,
but does not consider it wise to select
them arbitrarily at this time. He sug-
gests that appropriation of $20OOO00
be made fer such camps, and that
their selection be left to the War
Department after further investiga-
ton of the subject. General Chaffee
says the upset price of $50 an acre
allowed for the ground of Conewago
is $15 an acre more than the value
placed upon the ground by an army
board a year ago. The sites in Wis
consin and in Texas are opposed on
the gOuud of their remoteness, and the
Henry ranch site on playground of its
alleged unhealthfulness.
General Chaffee saws he is satisfied
that the sites mentioned in the bill
have not been sufficiently examined
to justify their purchase, and he sug-
gests the appointment of a board of
army officers to make the necessary
examination. The Chickamauga Park
site meets with his approval, and he
advocates the purchase of ground for
the extension of that park"

FULL SCHEME TO CONTROL MA
RYLAND NOW REVEALED.

The Democratic managers have al
last given to the public their complete
plans for making Maryland 'sold'
for their party for years to come.
The first step is the Poe suffrage
amendment which on its face is in
tended to eliminate the negro but
which in reality makes it possible fol-
pa' tisan boards of registry to arbitra.
rily refuse to register anyone who
does not pass a satisfactory "exami-
nation" as to the meaning of any
portion of the Constitution of the
United States. This scheme is Cd.
posed by both Governor Warfield and
Attorney General Bryan, because of
the obvious opportunity for fraud.
The next step proposed is to do
away with the present admittedly
fair system of bipartisan Boards of
Registry and Judges of Election and
give the majority party two-to-one.
This bold move has aroused such a
storm of protest over the State that
it is said the Democratic managers
may not push it through Governor
Warfield is fearful of the effect on his
party and it is said is strongly oppos-
ed to the change. The next Rove is
to postpone the general registration
of voters from this year until 1906,
when it is hoped the other two plans
will be enacted into laws.
Another move is to remove the
party designation in certain parts of
the State where it will work the most
injury to the Republicans and leave
it ON where it will help the Democrats.
Maryland has already suffered
enough fraud by Democratic manip-
ulation of our election laws. Thous-
ahds have been disfranchised either
by inability to read or by inability to
correctly vote complicated ballot.
Trick ballots and other glaring frauds
have been practiced and contested
elections in Baltimore and other
parts of the State have been the re-
suit. The Democratic Governor and
Attorney General promised during
the campaign to remedy some glaring
defects in the law and especially to
provide that the intent of the voter
should govern in counting the ballots.
Nobody hears of anyone making a
bona fide effort to redeem this pledge.
Like the cruel Egyptian task masters,
they on the contrary are making the
peoples burden heavier than before.
Justice and right are forgotten in
their lust for power. The mills of the
gods grind slowly but surely. Our
people are honest and brave and
manly-when once aroused to the
full import of the schemes being

EASTER AND BoREAL WEATHER.
Rain, Wind, Low Barometer, Snow and
Much Colder Promised by Hicks.

| ''o'"5 ""luI LoW barometer SnOW ana
Much Colder Promised by Hicks.
Rev. Irl Hicks, in his forecast for
April makes the following predictions:
Storms of rain, wind, low parome-
ter and high temperature, will have
given place to snow. rising barometer
and much colder in all western sec
lions as April comes in. Cold, north
erly winds, with frost and freezing
northward, will follow about the LIST
to the 3rd, progressively from west to
east. If frost reaches far into central
to southern sections at this time our
readers should not be taken wholly
by surprise. Careful and imps rtial
observers must have discovered that
the Easter full moon is almost invari-
ably attended and followed by severe
and disagreeable squalls and boreal
weather. The present case we believe
will prove no exception to the rule.
Plants and tender vegetation should
be protected against the probability
of killing frosts during the first three
or four days in April
About the 4th to the 9th falls a re-
dictionary storm period, during which
time falling barometer, change to
warmer, with more rain and stormi-
ness will be probable. Hail storms
will be most natural at all the April
disturbances, and sudden drops of
temperature should not surprise any
one after all the well-defined storm
movements.
The vulcan storm period, central on
the 10th, will bring series of pro-
nounced storms. The elimination of
these storms will fall about Sunday,
the 10th, to Wednesday, 18th. Look
for high temperature, low barometer,
with rain, hail and thunder, progress
sively from the west to east. on the
18th, 18th and 18th. Rapid rise of
barometer and change to quite cool
will follow behind storms, but a reac-
ton to storm conditions will suddenly
return, and from the 10Th to the 18th
1t will again become very warm. pro-
gressively, the barometer will again
fall to low readings and decided
storms of rain, hail and thunder will
occur along paths of low barometric
pressure. The sudden revolutions of
Venus from hot to cold will be felt at
this time and at each disturbance
during the rest of the month. Tor
nadic disturbances should be appre-
hended, if very low barometer, high
temperature and abnormal humidity
prevail at this time
a regular Vulcan Venus perturba-
ton will be central on the 21st. ex-
tending from the 10Th to the 23rd.
The barometer will drop low and
the temperature rise very high as this
period progresses. resulting in many
vicious thunder and hail storms on
and touching the 21st, 22d and 23rd.
The normal tendency to April thun-
der showers will grow into decided
and far-reaching transforms, with
dangerous winds and possible lorna
does during the progress of these dis
turbances The inevitable change to
much cooler, with frosts general over
central and northern sections, will
follow up the western TANKS of these
storms. Late snow squalls need sur
prise no one, as the high barometer

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed f1ourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
Is Good too, but it is very hard
10 digest,
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Editor Oil Review:
Dear Sir:-The Republican
bosses fill our houses with free
literature, the mail carriers are
overloaded with the same, which
comes to us as the bounty of the
same people, and all purporting
to explain to us why we are to
be benefited by the Dawson tax
law. But they are very careful
not to give us the law either
through their paid organs or by
their public speakers. have read
number of their free pamphlets
and read two or three OF their
campaign papers every week, but
so far l have failed to see in
any Republican campaign publica-
tic a copy of the Dawson tax
law. T'ey take the pains to num-
her each act of the new statute
ard after a few words of COM
mendation they invariably say in
closing, ut will, be a good thing
for the farmer. Now, anyone
having sound reason and common
sense must know that the law is
altogether against the landholder
and farm, or its advocates would
not be so 10th to make it public.
They seem to think that we are
simple-minded and ignorant and
can be persuaded to believe any
thing they may publish or their
speakers may tell us, and I'M
doubtedly, Mr.. Editor, if al of
their Misrepresentation and false
promises could be made to come
to pass or the farmer could be
brought to realize that he is to be-
come the recipient of the benefits
which the greatly extolled Daw-
son law is to confer on him, he
would be the happiest man on
earth. But unfortunately for his
ease and comfort he has begun
to study up the matter and the
more he reads and studies the
palmer it becomes to him that he
has been made the victim of a
great wrong, not only him, but
all other classes Of real estate
holders. Two of my friends were
talking about the new law, and
1 stopped to listen. &nd as the
argument was so pl,.in l will try
to give it. For convenience we
will name the men a and B.
After bidding time of day and
making friendly inquiries about
the families of each a commenced
the discussion by saying, "Well,
friend b how does our new tax
law strike YOU - You should

the most intense hatred and dis.
gust like a black cloud overcast

an expression Of determined re-
sistance that spoke volumes for

ask me how the new law strikes
me; will tell you. 1t strikes my
pocket, it strikes my home, it
strikes my heart, for it will take
all of my money to meet its ex-
orbitant demands. 1t will break
up my home, for l cannot keep
up my present way of living and
pay the taxes that the new law
adds. 1t strikes my heart for |
