speed in travelling. His sensitivoness to

As result of the high trust prices in
the United States of iron, steel and other
materials needed in digging the Pan
anna canal, President Roosevelt has in
structed the Isthmian Canal Commission
to buy all materials and ships needed for
the canal in the markets of the world,
wherever the lowest price could be had,
despite any objection by the American
manufacturers. An instance of the way
trusts are permitted to control prices in
this country is shown in the matter of
steel dumping cars. These cars are
made in Pittsburg for all parts of the
world and sold abroad 80 to 40 per cent
cheaper than in the United States. The
Pittsburg concern has been notified that

Conservatism and Radlcalism.

Ever since we have had record of the
human race it has been divided into two
parties, the conservative and the radical,
writes DR.. John H. Girdner, in Tom
Watson's Magazine. These two parties
have ever battled with each other for
possession of the world. Strictly speak
ing, all history, sacred and profane, is
nothing else than record of this world
old struggle. "That which is, was made
by Cod" cries the conservative. "God is
leaving that and is entering this other, .
replies the radical.
These have been the battle.cries of
mankind all down the ages. The con-
sentative has always been the stand
patter. He has been always on the de-
fensive, explaining, apologizing, opposing
and pleading that change would result in
deterioration. The conservative must
bear the vice, the sins and crimes of the
society of his time, and bending under
the load, piteously pleads for delay, for
compromise. He breaches the pusillan-
imous doctrine of ''let US bear the evils
we already have rather than fly to those
we know not Of" Conservatism never
made an invention, wrote poem, paint
ed picture nor breathed a prayer that
rose above the roof
Pharaoh, King of Egypt, was conserv-
alive. He stood pat on keeping the
Hebrew nation in slavery, against the
radicalism of Moses. The Roman en-
pire was conservative. 1t stood pat on
its pagan worship, against the radicalism
of the new religion. The scientific world
stood pat on the then accepted doctrine
that the "sun do move" against the rad
icalism of Calico that it is the earth that
does the moving. King George was
conservative. He stood pat on Americas
remaining British colony, against the
radicalism of Washington and the Conti-
mental Congress. The French King,
Louis XVI, was conservative, and stood
pat against the radicalism of the people
OF France when they demanded liberty
and bread. The Car of Russia and his
titled aristocracy are conservatives. They
are standing pat against progress, en-
lightenment and justice among the
masses of the people of that unhappy
country.
To this list of conservatives, mentioned
in the above extract, may be added that
wing of the democratic party, embracing
probably two per cent of the whole or
ganization, as represented by Parker and
the managers of the last presidential
campaign. who stood pat on a platform
that represented naught, and led the
party to the worst defeat in its history.

Similar scholarships are offered to
Calvert, Charles and st. Mary's

are not part of the public school
system, viz: The Jacob Tome In
stitute, the Millersville Academy,

the Board of Visitors is actuated
by the desire to bring the College

Teller gifts DR.. Chas. Crane, pastor of the
Peoples Temple, Boston, criticises in a
most caustic manner that leading Meth
odist divine, DIR. Buckley, for his asser-
ton that he would accept money for
charitable purposes from any one who
had legal title to it. The Boston divine
says that had DR.. Buckley been one of
the high priests or elders who spurned
the thirty pieces of silver that Judas. Is
CARROT tried to give TO them, he would
have justified the acceptance of it on the
ground that he should not inquire into
the source from which the money came

Says the Philadelphia Ledger: Senator

for reelection in 1907 He called his
followers in conference last week to can

to the head of the State machine.
This is the first time since the national
election that Mr.. German has called his
lieutenants together. 1t was recognized
that such gathering would be held
before the active work of the State
campaign in behalf of the disfran
chising amendment to the Constitution
was started. His purpose in inviting the
county leaders was 10 gather from then
information as to the conditions in theii
respective districts regarding the amend

for the State Senate to be made in many
of the counties next fall. As the Sena

The other day a man died from tuber-
culosis in Baltimore. He was one of the
thirteen hundred who die from that dis
ease in year in that city,-one of the
twenty-five hundred annual victims in the
state of Maryland. He was working
man, and all the notice the public re-
ceived of his demise was line in half
column of lines under the caption,
Died" in the daily papers Yet in this
mans death there was tragedy-a garish
tragedy. For many months he had bat
tied with the great white DEATH" his
earnings gradually reduced to nil. Al
his death he left widow and four little
girls. The mother of these children i.
marked for death, for she too, has con.
sumption, contracted from her husband
with whom she had borne hardships and
privations, even to living in dark, damp
basement, without proper food, denied
even the sunlight and free air which were
her birthright. Surely the state of Mary
land owes il to this mother and such a.
must suffer like her to provide the mean.
whereby she may be cured of the dread
malady, if it is not too late and whereby
her children may be spared the months
and years of suffering to which they
are now exposed.
Given the proper amount of intelligent
work, it appears that it would be possible
10 almost entirely wipe out this greatest
foe TO human life from our state.
