That Orphans Court Bill.

1t looks like the bill introduced by delegate
Nlcodemus, limiting the sessions of the Or
phans' Court for this county will pass unless
its unreasonable provisions are brought to
the attention of the senate. Mr.. Nico'emus
either was asked to introduce this bill by
some one who has a personal grievance
against some member of the Orphans Court
bench, or he is too ignorant to see the injus-
tice of the measure. We are not crlticising
the measure for any reason except, that 1t
will interfere with the transaction Of the bus.
mess by the people Of the county and espec-
tally those living in the north end Of Freder-
lex county.
Suppose man went before the Court from
Thurmont, Emmitsburg or Sabllasville on
Tuesday with al important matter, and he
was unable to finish it, then he would have
to 20 home and wait week before he could
finish it because this bill would not allow
the Court to continue the matter on the
following day. Mr.. Nicodemus if you are
tue author of this bill please explain the ben.
efits to the taxpayers. Ifyou are not, then
please have the real author come forward and
show his reasons for wanting bill of this
kind. There is a strong suspicion that 1t is
done in the interest of economy (P) If that
be true, then we believe there are other spots
in the Court House that should be reached.

Reckless Expenditure of the
TaxDayers' Money.

Each session of the Maryland Legislature
witnesses the rcck 'ess and wanton expcndi-
iure of IT, e taxpayers money, and we have
every reason to believe that the session OF
1906 will be no exception In this respect.
For instance that large educational institu.
ton, Johns Hopkins University, wants $780,
600 per year or more. What benefit will the
taxpayers derive from thi,9 This University
some years ago had large holdings of the b.
&O.R. r stock, and when the slump came
the values shrank SO that their income was
greatly impaired, aud they at once sought q
generous and sympathetic legislature whi"h
delved into the treasury (the people . pocke')
and gave them 100000. This was reduced
to $4,000, and now stands at that sum; b.
& o. stock is up to high water mark again
and Why should this expenditure noto be con.
tinued, even to admit (Which we do noD that
it was right in the first instance?
Suppose an individual who has been phil
anthropic has a similar loss by reason OF
shrinkage of values, would the legislature be
justified in going to the public till and REIN
bursting him? He would not have ghost OF
a show, but the various Influences which a
large institution like this can bring to hear
upon the individual members Of the legisla
lure, bring the desired results Baltimore
wants to celebrate and she is asking 500.
OC0 to help her. Tie jamestown EXPOSE
ton wants 100000. The Medical Colleges
want similar amount aud every scctarian
institution in the State wants large pull
for what, we aski Stop the reckless spend
ing Of the peoples money and our State Of
iicials could wipe out the State tax entirely.
Our motto is, "Let every tub stand on its
own bottom"

Farmers Institutes.

Notice has been received of the dates OF
the Farmers Institutes to be held In Buck.
eystown March Sd, Frederick City, March
9th, Myersvillc March 9th. PROFESSIONALLY
these meetings are of great benefit to the
farmers, and anyone who fails to take advan.
tage OF them, looses an opportunity of gain .
ing much useful information. The stimulus
of pei sonal contact with men who are max =
ing farming a scientific study. is an added
advantage to persons living in the rural die
tricts.
Many instances might I've given to prove
tho helptulness of these Institutes, but one is
amply sufficien, for the purpose. The corn
special" which stopped for night aud half
day IN our town last spring, attracted a
large number of farmers from this section to
the Car and also TO the meeting held al night
in the Town Hall. such good seed was
sown both figurativcly and literally speaking
rs result of the lecture on the test of !erl lie
and non fertile grains of corn md undoubt-
edly contributed In a measure to the unpre-
cedentcd yield of the past season.
The time las paesed when farming can
profitably follow the routine prescribed a
hun rcd years ago The farmer must be up
to date and progressive, must study and put
into practice the latest methods, must use
fertilizers best adapted to the present needs
of his soil; in short must treat his farm as q
good physician does each individual patient,
to attain the best results in each particular
case. In no other way can he learn better
how to do this than by attending the Insti.
lutes and following up the knowledge gain
ed there by personal study and intelligent
application of the same
