The SILLY story has been circulated by some
Of the daily papers that Hon. Stevenson A.
Williams, of Belair, might, under certain cir
cumstances, accept the nomination for Chief
Judge Of the Third Judicial Circuit. We knew
there was no foundation whatever for such
rumors and now Mr.. Williams has himself
said that the talk of his being nominated by
the Republicans is without authority and
without foundation. He would not. under any
circumstances, consent to entering the fight.
This ought to settle the matter.

THE BALTIMORE Sun. in its news columns,
appears to have settled the Judgeship contest
in the Third Judicial Circuit. This authority
ueys-it is definitely settled that Judge N.
Charles Burke is to be the Chief Judge and
Mr.. Frank I. Duncan the Associate Judge.
The same authority says: "This means that
il has been determined to sidetrack Judge
David Fowler, who has for some time been
openly in the field as a candidate for renomi-
nation, and it also makes probable Republi-
can nominations for the judgeships in this
circuit in the fall. Had it been decided to re-
nominate Judges Fowler and Burke for the
positions which they now occupy, it is under
stood neither candidate would have had OPP
position from the Republicans" We do not
believe that in any event the Republicans
would have made nominations, so that this
part of the SUNS story can be taken with
many grains of allowance. As to the accuracy
Of the other part of course we know nothing.

AN ENORMOUS dam is to be built for irriga-
ton purposes-the Roosevelt dam in Salt
River Valley, Arizona. 1t will be one of the
largest in the world, will cost 81, 100000, will
overflow about $4,000 acres of land and
supply waterpower for hundreds of places
throughout the Territory. The practice of
irrigation is very ancient, water having been
stored and distributed in this way in Egypt as
early as 1900 b. c. Persia, India, Ceylon.
China, as well as Peru and Mexico, also had
irrigation works ages ago. Even in Arizona,
not so far from where the big dam is to be built,
remains of ancient irrigation works can be
found, which suggest that that section of the
desert may have been compelled by men to
Weld crops many hundreds of years ago.

1T IS perfectly well known" says Edward
Everett Hale, "that in the United States Navy
at this time there is not weapon Of offense Of
any kind which was in use in 1885," One. Of
the drawbacks to the expense of building big
man-of-war is that if invention goes on every
generation will have to build new navy. It
is more than likely that improvements in sub
marine navigation and torpedoes will be such
that battleships will be knocked out Of COM
mission. It is also likely that in few years
war vessels will be built more for speed than
armored strength.
THE ANNUAL meeting of the stockholders of
the United Railways Company was held in
Baltimore on Wednesday, when the following
officers were elected for the ensuing year
John NJ. Hood president; George c. Jenkins,
vice-president; William A. House. second vice.
president and general manager; H. G. McJil.
ton. secretary and treasurer, transfer agent of
the common and preferred stock and bond reg
istrar; N. E. Stubs, auditor. A report was
circulated that Mr.. Jenkins would resign as
first vice president and that Mr.. House would
become the only vice-president of the COM
pany. In taking up this duty Mr.. House is to
resign as general manager, it is stated, and
this place is then to be filed by new man.
The lengthy report of General Hood is said to
have been in all respects satisfactory. He
says the company needs something over $4.-
600 900 for improvements and the aggressive
methods outlined by him were approved by
the stockholders.
