Com m issiOners Should Act.

The dynamiting OF the Legore Monocacy

board of county commissioners. The board
should offer reward for the apprehension

Taxes are paid for protection as well as
for regulation and convenience, and Mr.. Le-
gore as heavy taxpayer should have the
strong arm of the law extended over him by

To Enforce Action.

Il will be recalled that at the last session
of the MARYLAND General Assembly, certain
amendments to the constitution were pro-
posed and passed by the two constituent
bodies; that the Senate having learned that
Governor Warfield would probably withhold
his signature, or veto the act, RETAINED
from submitting it to him, but placed 1t d.
rect in the keeping of the Clerk Of the Court
of Appeals, the custodian Of all such papers.
1t Is necessary that all amendments be pub.
lished throughout the State prior TO the cleo.
tior At which they are submitted to the vot-
ers for ratification and as such publication is
only under the order of the Governor, the
democratic managers, believing that Gov.
WarHeld will assume that they are INVALID,
not having been submitted to him for ap-
prevail, and that he will therefore not order
their publication, are about to take legal
steps to compel him to do 60. This will be
by mandamus and the courts will be called
upon to determine whether or not the Gov
ernor's signature was necessary; II 1t was,
the entire case falls: II It was not, then the
courts will be In position to order the Gov
ernor to promulgate the amendments and
they will come before the people for ratifica'
ton next November.
The following is a copy of the amend

One day last week Anderson Eicholtz,
driving three. horse team over the Hunting
Creek bridge at Eicholtz Mill had an unus-
ual experience and narrow escape. The
liza Ter frightened and jumped over the side
of the bridge wall; the two wheel horses fol-
lowed but the wagon hung on the bridge.
Mr.. Eicholtz was carried down with the

the stateme Mt that neither Mr.. Eicholtz nor
any of the horses were injured and sur
prisingly small amount of damage resulted.

Letter 10 M. l.. Creeger.
Thurmont, Md.

Dear Sir: A gallon saved is 81 or IS earn
ed. Devoe saves 2 or gallons in 10. How
much Is it worth gallon?
A gallon saved saves the painting too; and
both together cost 81 or $5-$4 where labor
is cheap; S. where labor is dear.
Our agents IN Bridgeport, Conn, Hubbell
& Wade Co, tell us; "There are a great many
workingmen's houses here. They used to
paint lead and oil and take ten gallons. We
have been selling them ten gallons Devoe
lead and zinc, and have had, in eyerv in
stance, two gallons returned" The proper
ton Is often higher than that; we have
known it five in ten; but that is exceptional.
This is the explanation: Devoe is ground
by machinery, and is ground fine; lead and
oil is mixed by hand, and isn't ground at all

was awakened shortly before daybreak at

her trunk down stairs and escape. She lost
nearly all OF her clothing as she did not have

with her.

A study Of the achievements Of Mr..
Morgan makes two facts glaringly ap-
parent-namely:
First.-That as a reorganizer he has
known nothing but success.
Second.-Thet as an organizer he has
never made a brilliant success.
In other words, he has the faculty of
detecting and correcting the blunders
and mistakes Of other men, but this
same faculty, has not saved him from
committing the same blunders.
Mr.. Morgan made his reputation as q
builder up Of broken down railroads.
He contented himself for over thirty
years with that kind Of labor before he
embarked upon the new field of or
ganizing industrials. Some years ago,
when his fame for reorganization was
at it's height, the Wall street term for
the word was "re-Morganization."
While practically every industrial or
g~anization Mr.. Morgan has created Is a
failure from the viewpoint of the stock
holder and the bondholder, it should not
be forgotten that a dozen Of the big
gest railroad systems in the United
States owe their prosperity to his brain
and genius. And in building up these
railroad properties. taking hold of them
when they were financial wrecks. Mr..
Morgan probably made as much money
for different stockholders as his ven
lures in the Industrial field have caused
other stockholders to lose.

Mental Labor ON the Farm.

Any farmer who depends altogether
on the seasons and hard work for sue
cess in his business may make some
sort of a living and even increase his
small capital by natural increment, but
he will merit the appellation of
successful farmer. Industry is a good
trait of character, but often a good de-
gree OF that which looks like laziness
leads to better results. For instance,
a man may be SO lazy that he habitual-
~ works hard on labor saving contriv-
ances. by which he can accomplish
greater results with less labor, do more
and better work with less physical ex-
ertion. He may be so lazy that he will
do no work in a slipshod manner, for
in that case he would have to do the
work over again. No farmer can be
successful unless he does a large
amount of mental labor, and mental
labor saves physical labor and makes
what physical labor is necessary far
more effective. The very best work at
the very best time cannot be done by
unaided physical effort. To do such
work requires deep and persistent
study.-Farm and Ranch.
