Relying Upon the State.

If some citizens of Baltimore can impress
upon the Legislature the business of their
views the State will remit TO Baltimore City
about $40, 900 it now receives from liquor IL
censes and 500, 600, which is alleged TO be
paid for public schools more than is received
from the State.
An erroneous idea prevails among leading
citizens of Baltimore that that city pays about
two-thirds of all the expenses of the State
government, and that the taxes collected there
go largely to help the counties. While the
city may pay 100000 more for public educa-
ton than it receives and $40, 900 from liquor
licenses, Baltimore receives from the State, in
one form or another, practically every dollar
it pays into the State treasury For proof,
examine the Report of the Comptroller ofthe
Treasury Hospitals of all kinds, Charitable
Institutions, the Johns Hopkins University,
and variety of institutions receive State ap-
preparations.
Besides the remissions of funds above noted,
the relief committee has bill before the
Legislature for an appropriation of $3.50, 600,
and there is another Baltimore bill to abolish
the mortgage income tax, amounting to about
SIS, 200, the States share ofsuch tax. Here,
then, are propositions to reduce the revenue
of the State of 1915, 000 Added to this IS the
loss of II cents on the 500 on the decreased
taxable basis of Baltimore caused by the fire,
amounting to about $50, 900.
The bills and propositions for the remis.
sions of taxes and the appropriation from the
State treasury should be voted down, and also
the mortage income tax.

Three Noble Examples.

At Mobile, Alabama. grand jury took up
cases against "blind tigers Among the
cases was one against grand juror. When
ii came up the juror was requested to retire
during the consideration of the matter against
him, bit declined, and said he would vote to
indiet himself, as he was willing to take his
dose"
This man, for observance of his oath and
honest action, deserves to be placed in the
class with Congressman Shafroth, ofColorado,
who voluntarily vacated his seat in the House
of Representatives because, after examination
of some ballots, he was satisfied he was not
honestly elected; aud also with James 4.
Ellegood, of Salisbury, Nd, who ran on the
Democratic ticket for Congress and spoke
continually against the use of money in cleo
tons.
In this age, when nothing but success counts,
honesty is at a discount Many men have smiled
at the course of Ellegood and Shsfroth, and
their honesty has been questioned. Hints
have been made that love Of nosorieiy, more
than high sense of honesty aud conscieu
tious convictions, prompted their action, while
the honest grand juror of Mobile, who will
likely pay fne and undergo imprisonment for
observing his oath as a grand juror, will pro-
badly be placed in the class of fools.
In the cases Of these three men honesty did
not pay, as judged by the general sentiment
of people in this age, where nothing but sue.
cess, no matter how obtained, is recognized.

To Be a Long War.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-0n san excellent au-
thorityr in New York an officer OF The Stand
ard Oil Company, Harris Gates d Co., gave
out the following:
'sMr. Rockefeller's advices from the seat Of
war are that The world has yet TO learn of the
full extent of the Russian resources; that the
decentralization of the Russian military organ
ization, at home aud ia the field, is far greater
than the meager news dispatches would lead
us TO believe, and that in the opinion of those
who are Mr.. Rockefeller's eyes in the Far
East, this war is going to last from three to
FIVE years"
Among Mr. Rockefeller's business assoei-
aies it is the belief that such prolonged war,
if confined to its present limits. is bound TO
stimulate our commerce and that it ought to
make for higher prices for our staple products
and our best securities.
Bosroy, Feb. 24.-General Miles, who was
here today, expressed the opinion that the
war between Japan and Russia would be a
long and cruel one Said he: II think pro
longed conflict will ensue, into which | hope
the United States will not be drawn. 1t is
yet too early to tell what the result will be. "

A Horrible Death.

From the Baltimore American, February p.
Charles Pitcher, l4.year-od youth, whose
parents live at l713 Hanover street, was killed
yesterday morning at IL O'Clock III Lerch
Brothers harness factory, ITO Hanover street,
where he was employed. The lad was caught
between the floor of freight elevator and the
cellar wall of the establishment and literally
squeezed to death.
The lad was employed on the sixth floor of
the factory, and in some manner his hat fell
down the elevator shaft into the cellar. He
went down stairs, presumably TO get his hat,
when he met with the accident which resulted
in his death. For some unknown reason he
attempted to get on the elevator by crawling
through small window through which goods
are passed when the elevator is being loaded.
When about half of his body was upon the
elevator someone started it from above and
the boys body was wedged in between the
elevator and the wall, which is very close.
His screams attracted some of the employees
on the floor above and they ran to his assist
ance. The elevator was lowered and the
body of young Pitcher released. He was un-
conscious when taken out
DR.. Lyman examined the body of the victim
and said that death had undoubtedly resulted
from shock which followed the inability to
breathe. The physician stated that the breath
had been forced out of the boys body through
a small hole which was plainly visible over
the tenth rib on the right side.

The tax from the income Of Mortgages
amounts to about SlO0.0O year. and is an
ever increasing source Of revenue.
Of this tax one fourth. or SIS, 900, goes into
the Stale treasury, and $4,000 is retained by
the counties and the City of Baltimore.
The total amount Of mortgage income tax
collected in Carroll is about 5000. OF this
sum 81, $50 goes to the State and $3.50 into
the county treasury
Should the mortgage tax he repealed by he
Legislature. as is proposed, the loss OF the
mortgage income tax viii mean an increase Of
about 2l cents in the tax rate Of Carroll.
As there is likely to be an increase 10 the
State tax, an increase Of q cents in the coan.
~ rate will make considerable addition TO
tar bills.
These facts and figures should be considered
by Csrroll's representatives in The Senate aud
House.

Cigar Manufacturers Arrested on
Serious Charge.

YORK, Pa, Feb. 24.-H. L. Haines, J..
Fred. Holtzinger and n. G. Meads, cigar
manufacturers aud brokers of Red Lion Dor
ough, were arrested by Adams county con.
stables. The warrants charge the prisoners
with knowingly selling or offering for sale
boxes of cigars bearing counterfeits or imita-
tons of labels of the Cigarmakers' Interna-
tional Union of America. Haines, Holtzingsr
aud Meads entered bail for a hearing, which
will take place before Justice of the Peace
Lilly, at McSherrystown, on Monday next.
The evidence against the accused was Sc
cured by Detective Charles White, of York,
and |. B. Kuhn, Chairman Of the Ninth Dis
trici Union Label Protective Association, who
claim to have spent months on the case. For
years, according to the officers, Red Lion
has been the headquarters for a gang of bogus
union label makers and sellers, and they have
flooded the country with their product. Some
cigar boxes bearing the bogus labels were
found as far west as San Francisco, Cal, while
Philadelphia and Piusburg are said TO be full
of them.
Agent Kuhn says this is but the entering
wedge for the uncovering of one Of the biggest
scandals in the Ninth Pennsylvania Revenue
District, and that some Of the most prominent
cigsrmakers in York county will be involved

The experience of Baltimore will be of much

studying every detail Of the ruins aud learning

ing. These men are not attracted BY curiosity.
Many Of them are daily incurring grave per
sonal risk TO gather the information which can
be had 10 advantage only before the work Of
restoration is begun Whist they are learning

the whole country. IN the raising af the stand

in well directed aud bene6cent efforts to save
owners from the consequences of their own

Westminster, Maryland.

Dear Sir: Devoe is worth 81 or S. q gal
Ion, put on; how much is another paint worth?
Depends on how many gallons you've got
to put,ou to be equal to one of Devoe.
Mr. J Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted two
houses one coat, five years ago, lead and oil,
took 40 gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gallons Devoe for
same houses: had 10 gallons left.
Mr.. n Avery, Delhi, Y, owns two houses
exactly alike; painted one with Devoe; took
6 gallons The other with some other; took
u gallons.
What you give for those off paints? Bear
in mind. you've got to pay for the painting.
