A certain editornot more than
a thousand miles away was sit
ting in his Office alone, ENJOYING
a quiet smoke, when he had oc-
casion to use the telephone. He
rose, laid the cigar he was smok-
ing on a chair and took down
the receiver, says an exchange.
Just as he lifted the receiver a
friend stepped into the Office and
started to sit down on the chair.
Not realizing that the operator
could hear what he was saying,
and lust as she was about to
say number" in her sweetest
tones the editor yelled, "Look
out there, you'll burn your
pants.' Communication be-
tween him and central was cut
out at once.
Dell Benton, the Tagus coun-
terieiter, who lies in the county
jail awaiting the opening OF the
District Court, seems to be a
very bad character. According
to a Minot man who claims he
knew Benton in Iowa, the man
has already spent two terms in
the penitentiary and it looks
like he is good for another. When
Benton was searched, it was
found that there we're a number
OF the counterfeit bills III his
pockets.
The Iowa man who started
ont early in the winter to walk
to Bismarck in 80 days complet-
ed the distance in 60 days, and
made the 500 required by his
wager easily on the first half OF
the trip. There is not a town
on the continent that has not
been visited by some person en-
gagged in a feat Of this sort on a
wager. Did any one ever run
across a man who had the other
end of those freak bets?

home in Norway, which he has

Tor the treatment of tuberculosis.
We cannot commend this action too
highly, and only regret that the step
had not been taken 10 years ago.
There is not one single cause that de-
pletes our population so rapidly as
consumption, and we owe it to self
preservation to endeavor to stamp
out the disease as soon as possible.
1t has been satisfactorily proven that
this dread malady is contagious, so
none of us are immune. The return
from this appropriation of 500, 900
can never be calculated in dollars and
cents, as the lives of our citizens are
above money value.
In summing up the general result,
we may we'll feel proud of the Legis-
lature OF 1906. Perhaps it did some
unwise things, but the good accom-.
plished will far outweigh these. Both
bodies were composed of business
like men, and while the lack of leader.
ship was sometimes in evidence, yet
the outcome can be pointed to with
pride by every Democrat.

SAVE NIAGARA FALLS.

The International Waterways
Commission has made report to
the State Department in regard to
Niagara Falls, recommending legls-
lation by this country and treaty
with Canda to prevent any further
depletion Of the falls for commercial
uses.
1t is said that over 100000 people
visit this wonder each year, and
while we do not wish to discourage
the spirit of commercialism, yet it
would seem an outrage that this
beautiful and picturesque freak of
nature should be totally destroyed
merely for the purpose of making a
few dollars.
five consider the amount of money
that changes hands in the moving OF
this vast concourse of persons, it
would mean much more money than
the income for commercial uses. At
one time or another in our lives,
nearly every person has visited or
expects to see this wonderful place.
There are tender associations con-
nected with the mention of its name,
and we sincerely hope that Congress
will see fit to take the necessary steps
looking to their preservation.

SPELLING REFORM.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has recently
endowed a movement to make re-
forms in English spelling. He says
that the English language is a grad
ual growth Of words which from
time to time are found to more near
ly express our thoughts. At first,
many are regarded as slang, but the
succeeding generation adopts them
into the society of good English.
Our language is thus enriched by a
slow process, and the spelling comes
with the peculiar composition Incl
dent to the original use of the word.
Mr.. Carnegie claims that the organi-
cation is conservative and not revo-
lutionary. Word after word it will
attempt to improve the spelling and
the language, slowly, of coufse, but
Fastening the desideratum. He says
that the editors of our papers, who
are inclined to ridicule, use words
themselves, and especially spellings,
which their predecessors of a century
ago would have denounced as de-
grading to literature. The next cen
tury will in turn marvel at the un-
couth spelling of our present scribes.
He claims that as the English Ian
guaee is sometime to become the
tongue of the world, its spelling
should be made as easy as possible.
so that the foreigner will have less
trouble in acquiring it. This is the
chief obstacle, as our grammar is
easy. There is an agreement among
a number of scholarly men to use i'm
proved spelling for twelve words.
This work has already been started
and is in actual use. Other simplif-
cations will be suggested.
Despite Mr.. Carnegie and his mil
lions, however, the English-speaking
people will be loath to change the
methods of spelling. While some
slang words have crept into the
| English grammars and thereby be-
come dramatically correct, the ma.
jority of our words owe their origin
to some historical circumstance. Il
we prune these words down so much
as to make them lose their origina.
connection, lovers of the language
will find much of the attractiveness
of our speech has been robbed by
phonetic spelling. Some changes are
bound to come, but they will be
accepted in a very guarded manner

SLXTEEN-CENT TAX RATE.

The Legislature, just previous to
adjournment, fixed the tax rate at
Is cents on the 500, which is the
lowest since 1888, when the Sterling
loan bill was passed. This is a re-
duction of 712 cents on the 500 and
will save the State about $55O,OOO
a year. The money thus raised is to
be devoted exclusively to the public
schools and is expected to yield
81, 160,OO and somewhat larger
sum in 1868. This rate will mean a
reduction of three-fourths of cent
for school purposes, and it is expec-
ted that the increase of the taxable
basis will more than make up the
amount.
Maryland's finances are in exceed
ingly good shape. When we look at
the vast appropriations for the per-
manent Improvement of public build
ings and eleemosynary institutions,

CLOSE OF LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature, which closed its
labors on Monday night, has done
much good work in the way of pass
ing needed laws. While most of the
bills presented in both houses were
of a local character, yet a number oil
general laws were placed on the
statute books.
Of course, the chief measure of i'm.
portance was the Hannah Oyster Bill,
which was only put through after a
desperate effort just few hours be.
fore adjournment.
The Senate passed an excellent
election bill. which was killed by
Republicans in the House for reasons
best known to themselves. 1t had
the support ofalmost every champion
of election reform, but at the eleventh
hour, the Republicans sounded its
death knell, which was possible on
account of the absence of two Demo.

more and Ohio railroad. This is one
of the few investments that have been
profitable, as these holdings, which
brought $2,5OO,OoO only cost
originally 100000. This transac.
ton enabled a reduction of state
taxes to 16 cents, which is the
lowest since 1888.
The railroad legislation was par,
italy meritorious, though we think
in some instances, the fight against
these public corporations was carried
to too great an extent. Modern pro-
gressiveness is an impossibility with
out railroad facilities and it would
seem a retrograde step to throw
obstacles in the way of building new
lines.
During the session of the Legisla-
ture, the metropolitan press took
numerous occasions to say disagree
able things about the treatment fthe
city by the counties. On the whole,
however, Baltimore seems to have
Jared very well, and the measures
that were defeated will not in any
way hinder her growth for the next
two years.
One of the most humane acts of the
Legislature, was the passage Of a
bill providing for state sauitarium

as we'll as the other assistance that
has been given to organizations that
are only partially self sustaining, it
is a record of which we can afford to
be proud. 1t is indeed a source of
qualification to point to the fact
that the only direct tax now levied
is to sustain our public school sys-
TEN, which is as good as that of any
other state and constantly growing
better. We should remember, too,
that we are giving 100000 a year
to improve our public roads, and
there has just been appropriated the
sum of 100000 to build and main

THE FAIR TO GO.

The Hartford Fair stockholders de-
cided on Monday to let the exhibit
ton grounds be sold. We are sorry
to chronicle this action and believe
that it is a step backward for the
people of the whole county. OF
course, there is no criticism on the
managers, for they have done the
best that they could, but it speaks
very badly for one of the most pros
porous counties in the State to aban-
don an institution which means so
much for advertising their many ad-
vantages.
The Baltimore American, in speak,
ing of the abandonment, says:
"Harford is one of the most pros
porous counties in Maryland and the
fair has been an annual event that
has drawn together the people from
every section of the county. 1t is re-
gretable if the enthusiasm which has
sustained the fair association in its
efforts in the past has waned. Pos
sibly there were special reasons why
the receipts last year fell below the
average-perhaps it was the weather.
Anyhow, the annual stock, poultry
and farm produce exhibitions have,
or certainly should be made to have,
such large educational value that
they should not be abandoned until
the obstacles have grown to be per-
fectly overwhelming No fair asso-
citation should 70 down under the
Encouragement of one bad year.
"While many fair associations in
Maryland, and some of them belong
ing in rich and progressive counties,
have disbanded, there are in other
counties organizations that seem to
be able to make each succeeding exhi-
bition more attractive than the one
which was held the year before. 1t
should not be difficult to so vary the
features of these entertainments an
nually as to maintain attractiveness,
and the fact that this has been done
in at least one of the counties for
nearly half a century proves that it
can be done"
