of the States TO control trusts and mo-
nopolies, which led to the passage of
the federal statutes known as the
Sherman antitrust act and the inter
state commerce act: and it is only
through the exercise of the powers
conferred by these acts, and by the
statutes of the last Congress supple
menting them, that the national COY
eminent acquires any jurisdiction
over the subject. To say that action
against trusts and monopolies should
be limited to the application of the
common law is equivalent to saying
that the national government shoHld
take no action whatever to regulate
them"
These are merely samples of the
general tenor of the letter. Not an
issue is eyaded-the coal strike, Pan
anna, merger suit, all are treated with
a clearness and force rarely equalled
and certainly never surpassed in a
document of this kind. At the close
President Roosevelt rises to a level of
really noble eloquence in his appeal
to no class and to no section, but to
all good citizens in whatever part of
the land they dwell, aud whatever
may be their occupation or worldly

civic righteousness and for national
greatness, and we have faith to be-
lieve that our hands will be upheld
by all who feel love of country and
trust in the uplifting of mankind.
We stand for enforcement of the law

eminent is a government of orderly
liberty equally alien to tyranny and

is the observance of the law, alike by

If any chemist finds any adul terra

It's nobodY's business what we put
in our paint, of course; but we want it
known. For lead-and zinc and lin

THE LAWS OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY

An Interesting Synopsis by Mr.. Jacob
Brown, OF the AlIegany Bar.
The act or laws of the General As
sembly of Maryland for the session of
1904, have just been delivered TO the
different officials of the State for dis
trIbution among those entitled to cop
les. The volume is a large one con-
tanning 1920 pages. The Acts or laws
OF all kinds number 692 chapters, IS
or about that number are general
laws for the State at large; the rest
are local, special or personal acts for
the different counties and Baltimore
city. Allegany county comes in for
SO Acts of this class of legislation; and
Garrett county has Is. The most
prolific subject for legislation was
charters for corporations.
The volume mentioned is quite in
contrast with the small acts or books
Ofthe eighteen-forties, and prior there
to. Although in those early years,
the scope of legislation was consider
ably wider than in later years. Then
public roads in the counties could not
be opened without an act of the As
sembly, with not less than three com
missioners to formulate it. Even an
election district in county could
not be had without an act of the Leg
islature. \ persons name could not
be changed without an act. Now the
courts have the power.
Another fruitful subject of legisla-
ton has been taken from the Legisla-
ture and granted to the courts of equ-
ity, divorce. BY the act of 1871, chap
ter 262, the power to grant divorces
was conferred upon the old Court of
Chancery, and the county courts sit
ting in equity. The old high court
of Chancery,n was abolished by the
Constitution of 1850.
Another subject of frequent legis-
lation in early times was done away
with by the act of 1905, known as the
insolvent debtors law. Prior to then
an unfortunate person confined in
the county jail for debt had no rem
edy or relief except by an act of the
General Assembly. Many such acts
can yet be found in the old books.
No the people of this humane and
enlightened age such would seem to
barbarism in reality, but so it was,
fortunately not so for the last half
century.

ROOSEVELT'S ACCEPTANCE.

The Democrats will find that char
ion note" they have been yearning
for from Paker in the stirring letter
letter of acceptance which President
Roosevelt has written and which has
been published. That document is
literallYa prolonged clarion note"
from beginning to end. 1t is the
bright, clear, sure note of the born
leader, of ruler of men, who has a
cause in which he believes and in
which he knows that his people be-
lieve. Nobody who begins to read
this letter will pause till he has finish
ed it,and nobody will have the slight
est difficulty in understanding every
word of it. President Roosevelt needs
no interpreter, and nothing that he
says requires subsequent explanation
or calculated by himself or anybody
else.
There is nothing timid, or apollo
getic, or evasive in the Presidents
letter. The keynote of it is pitched
in the opening passage wherein he
says: I'VE do not have to guess at
our own convictions, and then cor
rect the guess if it seems unpopular.
The principles which we profess are
those in which we believe with heart
and soul" He stands on the record
of deeds done; he is not only willing
but eager to defend every item in
that record, and he is proud of every
item in it. That is his letter in a nut
shell. 1t is the challenge of letter
who has no more fear of com bat than
he has apprehension of defeat, for he
has faith in the justice of his cause
and knows it will prevail because it is
just.
His thrust at the Democrats are as
deadly as they are keen: "a party
whose members are radically at vari-
ance on most vital issues, and if unit
ed at all, are only united on issues
where their attitude threatens wide
spread disaster to the whole country,
cannot be trusted to govern in any
matter. A party which, with facile
ease, changes all cannot be trusted to
adhere with tenacity to any principle
after election
Speaking of the pension order, he
says: "If our opponents come into
power they can revoke this order and
Announce that they will treat the yet
Grams of GO aud 70 as presumably in
full bodily vigor, and not entitled to
pension. Will they now authorita-
lively state that they intend to do
this? If so, we accept the issues. If
not, then we .have the right to ask
why they raise an issue which, when
raised, they do not venture to meet"
Concerning Parker's declaration
that the common law affords a COM
plete legal remedy against monopo-
lies" he bowls the ex-chief Judge
over completely by saying: But there
is no common law of the United
States. It's rules can be enforced on
lv by the State courts and officers. No
federal court or officer could take any
action whatever under them. 1t was
this fact, coupled with the inability

st. Petersburg, Nov. 2S.-Accord-
ing to the best information obtain
able, the Zemstvo memorial is still
under consideration at Tsarskoe-
Selo. Emperor Nicholas is said to
be under no illusion regarding the
gravity of his decision and is giving
the memorial the most careful and
most earnest consideration. By some
he is represented as greatly concern
ed and grieved over the situation,
both at home and abroad; to be
weary of the war and unrest in the
interior, ready to welcome any hon
orable means to bring the war to
conclusion and anxious to remove the
cause for discomfort and secure tran

rounding him, however, are said to be

sions. The statements made in these
dispatches several days ago that the
revolutionists had announced a truce
pending the decision of the govern
ment on the question of convoKing
sort of elective national assembly to
mass upon the Zemstvo program is
confirmed from several quarters, and

STORY OF RECENT MASSACRE
MANY HOMELESS AND PENILESS

Washington, Nov. ga story of
sickness, hunger and starvation has
come to the state department from
Mr.. Norton, the American consul at
Harput, in report on the condition
of the Sassun population in the Mush
district. The consul says of the
10000 survivors of the recent massa-
ere few have saved anything but
their lives. Nearly every house in
the regent was ransacked and burn
ed.
Extracts from the report were
made public by the state department
today in the hope that the sad story
may bring relief to the unfortunate
Sassuns.
Worst of ALL" Mr.. Norton says,
their fiocks and herds, practically
the only source of food, raiment and
income, were swept away. These
unfortunate people, after receiving
for short period an allowance of
one cent per capita per diem for sub
sistence, are now without food and
without a prospect of food for the
coming winter. The diseases usually
following upon fright, exposure, ex-

automatically released at a predeter-
mined moment by attachment to an
alarm clock and fed into a trough or
manger.
A chute, through which the food is
to be passed, is shown in the illustra.
ton, with a hinged door at right ar
giles to the inner wall thereof, the door
being connected with an arm which
projects through the wall of the chute
This arm is fastened to a spring held
to pin in the outer wall of the chute
A bracket supports a clock upon the
other side of the chute, the clock hav-
ing an alarm attachment. The key
which winds the alarm apparatus is
connected to a spring pressed bolt
which is mounted in the wall of the
chute and designed to support the
hinged door when the same is weight
ed down with food. AS the clock runs
down the cord withdraws the bolt and
when the proper time is reached the
door is released and the food falls
down to the manger. After the door
is relieved of its weight the spring
will cause it to resume it's normal po-
sition. This would also be very useful
in large establishments.

OPPOSED TO LIBERAL REGIME
OPINION SHARED BY LIBERAL lists

Zemstvo program is rejected there
may be a revival of the old terror
istic duel.
The emperor is said to have been
acquainted with Interior Minister
Sviatopolk- Mirky's decision not to re-
main in the ministry if the policy of
liberalism in which he went to Office
is revoked. The bureaucrats profess
to see no danger in the present situa-
ton, declaring their belief that the
agitation provoked by the Zemstvo
will soon sink out of sight and affairs
resume their normal sway. If con-
cessions are made, they say, they will
be light and will mean little. Prince
Sviatopolk-Mirsky himself, although
for different reasons, is represented
as also opposed to the radial depart
ure of a liberal regime. According
to his opinion it must come gradually
and without shock In this respect
his opinion is shared by many liber-
ais, who believe that concessions in
the right direction must inevitably
lead to a full realization of their
hopes. Others believe that the real
crisis will be postponed to the end of
the war.

Would Exterminate Rats.

Unremitting warfare against rats is
advocated by Sir James Crichton
Browne, who says that people now
adays are living under sanitary condi-
tons which will seem as shocking and
wong to their descendants 200 years
hence as conditions that obtained two
centuries ago appear now. In advo-
eating a crusade against rats, as the
great carriers of disease, Sir James
suggests new form of relaxation.
I'VE have with us" he says, lots of
gilded youths whose time hang heavy
on their hands, and who might vary
their amusements by rat-catching,
which must be quite as exciting aid
elevating as pigeon shooting. If the
sporting papers would give a descrip-
ton of the battues and reports of the
bags, with odds on the favorite rat
catchers and portraits of the record
breakers, those pernicious little ro-
dents would soon become scarce-un-
less, indeed, enthusiasts should take
to breeding and laying them down as
we do pheasants. Great things may
be expected when sport, fashion and
sanitation join hands in rat-catching."

Feeder for Stock.

One of the disagreeable tasks in re-

This is especially true with milk deal

case on Sundays with all drivers of
teams. Automatic time stock feeders
are not new to the trades, by any
means, but few are as simple as the

Charrin, a French psychologist, has
been experimenting upon rabbits with
various vegetables sterilized by the
most approved processes, and he has
shown that it is erroneous to declare
that the less bacteria there are in our
daily food the better. What is requir-
ed is to weed out the harmful organ
isms from the benefcent kinds. The
rabbits fed on sterilized foods soon
died from maladies set up by non
assimilation of the vegetables, but
other rabbits flourished on similar
steriliZed vegetables that had been
afterward treated with suitable bac-

seismooraphs on RAILWAYS.

An indication of the swift progress
of the Japanese mind in practical sci
ence is afforded by Doctor Omori's re
cent report on the measurement OF
the vibrations of railway carriages by
means of seismographs. The primary
purpose of the seismograph is to
measure the oscillations of earth
quakes. Japanese engineers use it for
determining the proper balance of
locomotives and the state of the per-
manent way on railways. Many prac-
teal advantages in the saving of fuel
and the detection of faults in con-
struction have thus resulted.

Missouri BUILDING Burned.

ST. Louis, Nov. 22-The Missouri
state building was destroyed by fire
resulting from the explosion of hot
water heater in the basement. In
stant1y the flames shot up through
the rotunda, and the north wing and
cupola were a solid mass of flames
within ten minutes after the eX-
plosion.
The loss cannot be estimated &C
curately, owing to the temporary con-
struction material, which has no sal
wage value. The principal loss is
in the contents of the building.
The building cost $145,000, and in
the building were $4,000 worth of
furnishings, the most valuable of
which were portraits of all former
Missouri governors and supreme
judges. These cannot be replaced.
