NO MARYLAND CONTEST.
State Leaders Decide Roosevelt Has
Electors ENOUGH.
~ TEIEGRAPH no rHE rrIR1.NE- ]

--71'-IINzAI-If 7
baltimore, Dec. S-The Republican State man
ayers have decided not to make contest for
the electoral vote of Maryland. This is partly
due to the fact that there is no machinery with
which to make such contest, and partly for
the reason that Roosevelt and Fairbanks viii
have so many votes that those of Maryland are
unnecessary.
Chairman Hanna will issue an address to the
people Of Maryland in which he will recte tho
partisan character and unfairness of the present
election laws and particularly Of the Wilson
ballot law, which applies only to certain coun-
ties and was admittedly passed by the Demo-
Gratis in order to virtually disfranchise illterate
negroes in Southern Maryland and in districts
along the Eastern Shore. He will declare that
the only way in which to get a fair ballot law
will be TO elect a Republican Legislature, and to
this end all efforts of the party will be directed.

 anybody doubt that the children of the Italian immigrants of to-day will not, under the educat tional advantages of this government, come in their day to apply the well known ability of their race to the strength of our 1n- situation ? The future of the republic will be in the hands of the children now being born under its flag. In the meantime the work of the country must be done. It is not alone otflce work, professional work, invention, and planning that the country must have. The mountains must still be cut through, the canals must still pc aug the railroads must still be built the rocks must still be blasted, and tue vast acres of prairie must still be cuA- tiyated. Where is the labor to colne from for these undertakings II ho1 from the mass of immigrants Wno are coming to this country ?

111GK IN rHH LETTER "B."

A writer has discovered that many Of the worst foes of the horticultur1st begin with 'swf' and he instances worms, weevils, wind and other work CTS of wickedness. This suggests a question as to whether there is any natural grouping of good Or evil things under particular letters. Take ID" for example, and consider how many boons and blessings to man begin with it. The baker, butcher and brewer bring him bread, beef and beer.
 For additional foods he has bacon, black bass. beans. bioaters. broccoli. broth, biva1ves. bananas, berries, bis- cults, buns and butter. After a ban quet of bonnes-bouches he may bring out his s'baccy while he bestrides his bicycle. These are but B few of the beneficient things included under that blessed letter ''b." Now. as a con- trast take 'sd," and among the first words we thing of are damp, dark, dreary. dank, dull. drowned, dismal, dirty. damned, dusty, .dastard, daft, ducked. dosed, dragged, doubtful, dis gusted, doctor, diseased, doldrums, dungeons, depressed, despairing, dead, drunk, and so on, the very sound of which is enough to drive one into doleful dumps.
