car Becominu WarIike.

London, Aug. "A dispatch to the
Times from St Petersburg says that
another imperial telegram even more
warltke than the emperor's reply to
the Orenburg clergy appears in the
Official Messenger. The emperor, re-
plying to an address from Khaba-
rovsk, heartily approves the recon-
mendation to continue the war until
the enemy is crushed, and above all
not to think of the cession of territory
or the payment of an indemnity.

Directors Of ]. o. o. ?. Insurance Be-
eiety Accused Of Wreeklnq IL
Philadelphia, Aug. 2.-According to
a bill filed in the common pleas court
here, five directors Of the Odd Fellows
Mutual Life Insurance Society Of Penn
sylvania-C. F. Binkley. William Bris-
ton, H. s. Campbell, II. c. Megrew and
G. B. Bledsoe-are charged by Henry
r. Walton, the receiver, with wrecking
that concern. He accuses them Of frau
dulently transferring 100000 from the
treasury to the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of Pennsylvania, and of lille
gally collecting $4,000 in premiums on
Odd Fellows policies. In consequence
of this. the receiver says, the concern
failed last March. In the suit brought
he asks the court to compel the five
directors and 10 others to make good
the $4,000 alleged to have been frau
dulently taken. The others are E. l.
Rosenfeld. Albert Morgan, John H. AL
len, Abner H. Mershon BertOn b. Babs
Daniel T. Murphy, H. E. Walrath, L.
NJ Martin and T. c. Rafferty, The re-
ceiver asks for a complete accounting
by the directors.
The Odd Fellows Mutual Life Insur-
ance Society of Pennsylvania limited
its business to members of the order.
The way it was wrecked, the receiver
says, was by the organization of an
other concern, the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of Pennsylvania, which
assumed most Of the business. The
Mutual Life Insurance company, he de-
clares in his bill, was a limited part
which was not authorized to
carry on the life insurance business.
and such life insurance as it did was
illegal, and no returns of any kind
were made to the commissioner of in
surance, as required by law.

Attempted Burglary.

During the past week several
attempts have been made to enter
houses in the eastern part of town.
On Friday night Mrs. Grin Wheeler,
by quick wit and courage averted a
threatened burglary or assault. She
awakened during the night and found
that man had forced open a window
and entered the room in which she
and her daughter slept. She called
to her daughter, Gland me the
revolver" and the man fled instantly.
The police force was hurridly sum-
mOned and E. Jones arrested, but was
released in the morning as it was
found he had nc connection whatever
with the house breaking.
Two attempts have been made to
enter the residence of E. Compton
and once the man succeeded in gain
ing entrance but was frightened away.
The Sexton house on Pine street was
also entered the same night. An
attempt made Monday night, sup
posedly by the same man, to enter
the Emerson home, was prevented by
strong window catches.
Whether the motive is robbery OF
assault has not yet been determined,

UPHOLD THE LAW.

For the past week, lawlessness has
existed at Crisfeld. The beginning
Of the trouble was the conviction of
some violators of the oyster law.
The case was brought before mag
istrate, who shortly afterwards was
forced to reverse his decision on ac-
count of the threatening attack of a
mob of about l 900 angry men.
The violation of the law was the
taking of oysters from private beds.
Two days after the trouble, a num-
Der Of beds belonging to a packing
company were looted by the oyster
men, in full view of the owners, who
were absolutely powerless. After
the second trouble, Governor War
field sent one of the State police
boats and Commander Howard to

COMPUL sorry EDUCATION.

The State Board Of Education, in
regular session last week, adopted
the draft of bill for compulsory
education to be submitted to the
next General Assembly for adoption,
the Governor being present and the
vote being unanimous.
This action is the first definite out
come of a growing sentiment in the
Board for several years that the time
had come for Maryland to follow in
the wake Of 80 other states which
have enacted compulsory laws.
Recognizing that the law at first
must be as free as possible from dras-
tic features, the period of attendance
is placed between s and II years OF
age, and the minimum time required
per annum is 90 days.
Great freedom is left to the school
to be selected; the law will be salts
fed if the child attends a public, pri.
vate, UNCONVENTIONAL or parochial
school, or receives suitable instruc-
ton at home. Provision is further
made for bringing in delinquents,
and TO provide for incorrigible pupils
through truant and reformatory
schools.
The term Compulsory" has a
harsh ring in parents ears; but as
the law will compel only those who
will not act voluntarily, it would
weigh heavily on none but unfaith-
full parents. Ones love Of his chill
dren and love of his state unite in
squirting the parent to equip his child
for the battles of life and the duties
of citizenship; and we should no
more vince at the exercise of the
power of the state to give our boy a
Square deal' in the battle of life by
educating him than that the state
should protect his health by vac.
cine law or a pure food law.
If the law is made to apply to col
ored as we'll as white children, and
we are unable to see at this time how
it can be otherwise, very practica
question will arise in many sections
about how to provide for them. Fol
instance, Anne Arundel county, with
1892 colored children, now has fl
schools, being one school for every
145 children, while Prince George.
county has one school for every 16C
children. The former has 45 pei
cent. of her children enrolled and the
latter has only 40 per cent, but the
average attendance is only about
half of the enrolment.
The whole subject will probably be
discussed from every standpoint, and
we sincerely trust that the outcome
may be productive of an elevated
standard of intelligence and good
citizenship.

THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.


Congress convened in Washington
on Monday. Speaker Cannon was
reelected by strict party vote, and
John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi,
was made the minority leader. AS
the Senate and the House stand al
most two to one on political divi-
sions, it is more than probable that
party lines will be partially obliter-
ated, except in the committee assign
ments and appointments of office.
Especially is this true of the proposed
railroad legislation of President
Roosevelt. His views on the subject
of railroad rates are not universally
shared by his party, and, in fact,
more nearly resemble a Democratic
measure. 1t is not a matter of po-
litical policy anyhow, and the vote
omit should represent individual sem
timents Ct the different communities
which are presented by their con-
gressnen.
Under this bill, it is proposed to re-
quile all railroad companies to carry
freight and passengers at rate to
be fixed by some department of the
Government. This would mean the
reorganization of existing condi-
tions, and is calculated to rebound
to the benefit of the small shipper,
who, it is claimed, now keenly suffers
the competition of his larger neigh
bors, who can get more advanta-
geous rates from the railroads that
are handling the commodity.
There is much to be said on both
sides of the question, and the past
few months has witnessed an inter-
esting campaign of education that
has been going on throughout the
country. The subject promises still
greater interest. 1t is proposed to
follow up these Introductory re-
marks, as the occasions shall seem to
require.

The committee having in charge
the advisability of changing the in
auguration day for President and
Vice-President of the United States,
has recommended that the last Thurs
day in April be chosen. In order
that this may become part of the
constitution, it must be ratified in
the regular manner. Should Con-
gress take prompt action, it is prob
able that the day can be changed in
time for the Inauguration in 1913.
There is every reason why the change
should be made, and many serious
spells of sickness could be averted
should the time be changed to a
period when the climatic conditions
are less rigorous.

Virginia has figured out a profit of
$4,000 for the state, coming from
the culture of oysters. The gross
sum collected amounted to about

the scene of the trouble, and since
then there have been no further de-
predations. On Monday, Judge Page
instructed the grand jury of Somer-
set county to diligently nqIire into
the facts of the case and present
every guilty party. The charge was
strong and carried with it whole
some regard of the law, so necessary
in every civilized community. The
hands of the local authorities should
be held up in this matter. even if it
requires the entire State militia to
enforce the mandates. Unless all
laws on our statute books are OBJ
served, we are fast going back to the
days of savagery. Every common
wealth should regard as n sacred
duty the carrying out of its statutes,
and if there is any community where
those in charge seem unable to con-
troll the situation, outside aid should
be at once furnished in such numbers
as to overawe the violators.

CONVICT LABOR AND PUBLIC ROADS

CONVICI LABOR AND PUBLIC ROADS
The State of Georgia is getting
much good service out of its prison
ers by working them on the public
roads. Instead of bringing them
into competition with other manu-
factories, they are put on the high
ways and made to labor for the COM
mon good of society, whose regula-
tons they have violated. If the
State of Maryland would take its
annual road fund of 100000 and
work the thousand prisoners now in
the Maryland penitentiary, miles and
miles of highways could be built
every year. The prisoners them
selves would welcome the change,
and there would be a great decrease
in the number of deaths in this insti-
tuition that now result from tubercu-
losis. For at least eight months in
the year these unfortunates could be
out in the open air nearly all of the
time, and the cause of humanity
would receive distinct advance if
such methods were employed. Con-
victs are fellow human beings, who
in many cases were unfortunate
enough to fall in a moment of weak
ness. But they can become hardened
criminals if the present methods of
confinement are kept up. Let them
have plenty of fresh air and come in
closer touch with nature. Left to
such trainings, their trend of mind
could only be towards better things
In Georgia, it is said that the pris-
oners plead for this outdoor work,
because they were going insane and
contracting fatal diseases while in
solitary, confinement. 1t is more
than probable that nearly every in
mate of the Maryland penitentiary
would prefer this outdoor labor, re-
serving their present occupation
when work on the roads would not
be possible. Our legislators should
at least make a careful investigation
of this disposal of the two vexatious
questions: the employment of con-
victs, and the Improvement of the
country roads, and seei they cannot
with profit be operated together.
