Wyoming feeders. around 1850 pounds, which
sold at private terms, but understood TO be
between "a. 50 aud $500. Another train Of
mountain steers, hay fed, $50 pounds, sold at
81 40. and desirable cattle for the country sold
all the way from 1886 TO 1915. Several
punches of choice feeders, with not much

at about 81 IS. and few cattle brought over

Colleges and Universities.

With due respect for the present day sys-
TEN of education at the higher institutions of
learning, we submit that it is no more thorough
than the schools of a half century ago. The
school year was longer, the instruction less
technical and simple, and it was possible for
a boy to OBTAIN good education and grad,
uate at the age of eighteen to twenty.
In these days the colleges and universities
are closed from early in June until late IN
September, more than three months. Christ
mas and Easter holidays take off about anoth-
er month, aud the actual school year is less
than eight months. There is less morality in
the present day educational institutions, and
more brutality. The hazing practice, known
to and not discouraged by the faculty, tends
to bring into play the brutal instincts of the
class universities are continually expounding
new and astounding theories, tending TO tear
down the beauties of the Christian religion.
They endeavor TO place religion upon the
basis of human reason, and all theories, be-
liefs and doctrines they cannot explain in such
a manner are rejected.
Athletics are carried to extremes. From
the beginning to the close of the school year
athletics play one of the most important parts
of college and university life. Foot ball, a
game more or less brutal, basket ball, base
ball, jumping aud track events follow each
other without intermissiou. The training is
hard and severe, and many of the most ad
vanced athletes do not live to middle age.
And if bad accidents, sometimes ending in
death or deformity, did not occur, it is very
reasonable to suppose that the general round
of games of all kind must divert the minds of
students from study. Moderate athletics
would be beneficial to probably all students.
A healthy and robust body is essential to foil
mental development.

An Astonishing Contention.

Urtil last week, so far as We have knowl-
edge, no lawyer has contended that the Exc
cutiye of Maryland was part Of the General
Assembly, but Gov Warfeld's attorneys so
commended before the Court Of Appeals. The
Governor is given the veto power, for the
purpose Of preventing hasty or iil-advised
legislation. And bills only become acts and
operative when signed by the Governor within
a prescribed time. After that time, il be fails
to sign or veto bill. it becomes a law without
his action. Instances of this kind have often
occurred. Unless bin is in conflict with the
Constitution or contains vicious provisions,
the Governor has 40 right to exercise the
veto power The General Assembly is elected
to make laws The members are supposed
to know the wants Of the people and the needs
of the State

PHILADELPHIA, March 29.-This city today

The Evening News and the Consti-
tutional Amendment.

The Salisbury md. News, Of March 80,
saws: The Baltimore Evening News IS having
about three spasms day over the disfran-
ebisement amendment. In its issue of last
Friday ii quoted an array of prominent In
dependents who are opposed 70 the passage
of the amendment aud who will lend their
influence towards its defeat.
Among these independents we notice
the names of John C. Rose, John V. L. Find
lev, Roger Gull, Louis Putzel, John n: Mel
son, John E. Semmes and Alfred s. Niles
We would ike tc wager that not one OF these
so.caled Independents, with the possible
exception of Mr. Niles, has voted anything
other than a straight Republican ticket for the
past ten years.
We expected this eoterie Of gentlemen to be
AGAINST the amendment. They, with the
Evening News, are generally against every
thing that is espoused by the Democratic par
~. and are always ready to help carry the
State into the Republican column.
The opposition of this element ought to be
the strongest kind of reason for every simon
pure Democrat in the State supporting the
amendment.

A MISLEADING POEM.
Criticism OF Barbara Frietohie' In
Normal School Program
From The Baltimore sun of March y.


Much adverse comment has been made on
the inclusion Of barbara Frietehie' in the
program of :he Maryland Day celebration last
Friday at the State Normal School. The
woman who figures in Whittier's poem Of that
name appeared in the program as one OF
series Of living pictures; the other individuals
or characters represented being the much
more distinguished ones Of Queen Henrietta
Maria, Lady Anne Arundel, Margaret Brent.
Madame Bonapar,e. Amelia Welby aud Dor
othy Manners.
The uufayorable light in which the exploit
alton of Whittier's stanZas Is regarded was
brought to the attention of member of the
Normal School faculty yesterday, who said
the tabeaux were intended TO be representa-.
.ive of the history of Maryland. of Maryland
women Of distinction in the social or literary
fields, and of the literature associated with the
State.
"The character of Barbara Frietehie, the
speaker said, "was added merely because IT
figures in a we'll known poem, as Winston
Churchill's heroine Of "Carvel Hall'' was rep
resent either OF these as historic characters.
The students are distinctly taught in their
literature classes that WhiItier's poem IS with
out foundation aud that the story woven into
it is merely literary device, just as the EN-
ployment of figure of rhetoric would be.
