The Baltimore American today says:
"Since the death of Gen. L. Victor
Baughman Frederick county Democrats
have been at loss upon whom they
would bestow the leadership laurcls so
long worn by General Baughman. BY
common consent Mr.. Joseph d. Baker,
president Of the Citizens National Bank,
of Frederick, could become the county
leader if he would only say the word.
"Mr. Baker has not yet said that he is
willing to go actively into politics, nor
has he said that he will not He is hold
ing under consideration the offers Of
Frederick county Democrats to rally
around him. They propose to bring him
forward Us n candidate for the Democra-
tie nomination for governor next year.
Mr. Baker has heard of this proposition.
He has not accepted or rejected it. He
will not make known his position until
the primaries are nearer at hand than at
present. 1t is understood from some OF his
close friends that the suggestion of his
nomination for governor has not been I'M
favorably received by him.
"Mr. Baker is far better known in
business and financial than in political
circles While he has always been an
active Democrat, he has devoted far more
time and thought to business than to poll
tics.
'In Western Maryland there is not,
however, IA man VINO Yields greater in
tiuence than MIR. Baker. That influence
extends beyond Frederick coun1y and has
its qualifications in this city, where he
has extensive business interests. He is
a large stakeholder in the Montgomery
/ County National Bank, of which Col
Spencer c. Jones, former president OF
the State Senate, is the president. He
was Il close personal and political FRIEND
of Colonel Baughman, and on thr day OF
his funeral the honorary palibcarers ant
other distinguished visitors to Frederick
were met upon their arrival by Mr.. Ba.
ker and were driven to his Office, in the
Citizens National Bank binding. Mr.
Baker is president of the bank.
ct is as a banker, however, that Mr.
joseph D. Baker has won suco1ss, anI
he has won that success, too, Ill a com
munity which ranks first, in proportion
to its size and population, in the United
States. Frederick county is the thirC
richest county in the United States, anc
Frederick county banks have more mon
cy on deposit than any other place Of its
size in the United States
When representative of the News
called today at the Citizens Na,iona
Bank to interview him in regard to the
above article he learned that Mr.. Baker
was out of town. Many friends of Mr.
Baker have expressed their wish that hl
might be nominated for Governor, and il
! is supposed that the author Of the articl,
reprinted above is member of the
/ American staff who was in Frederick
! this week and heard the subject men
toned. Frederick Ne,rS of Dec. 7th.

JOSEPH d. BAKER FOR GOVERNOR.

We desire to say that we are in
hearty accord with the suggestion
that Joseph d. Baker be made Gov
ernor of the State of Maryland. First,
because he is Frederick County
man, and it is about time that Fred
erick County is represented with a
Governor. Second, because of the
eminent fitness of Mr.. Baker for that
position. He is thoroughly well
seasoned business man; ne has a
chievcd signal success as a banker;
he is no politician in the generally
accepted sense of the word, 50 that
purely business methods would be
employed by him in his administra-
ton.
Let's everybody be for Mr.. Baker
in Frederick County, regardless Of
our party faith.

In loving remembrance of little Mad

of E. Bruce and Rhoda Morrison died at
their home in Hagerstown Nov. %, aged
a years. The remains were brought to
Thurmont for burial.
This lovely bud so young and fair
Called hence by early doom;
Just came to show how sweet a flower,
In paradise would bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care;
The opening bud to heaven conveyed
And bade it blossom there.
Those little lips so sweet to kiss,
Are closed forever now,
Those sparkling eyes that shone so bright
Beneath that pearly brow;
That little heart that beat so high
Free from all care and gloom,
Are hidden from those that loved her
Beneath the silent tomb.
Long enough was she with us,
To endear the little FORM
To the hearts of those who knew her.
BY her tender love SO warm.
Think what sorrow she is freed from,
Think what care she might have known,
Think of her sweet rest in heaven,
With the angels round the throne.
Lift your eyes fond weeping parents;
Faith points upward to the sky,
You can meet your darling Madlyn,
When you lay your armor by.
BY her aunt who loved her, M. S. w.

how barren or exhausted it apparent

potash, nitrogen and phosphoric acid
to produce a thousand large crops. )"
Every. farmer who owns a farm is
heir to great wealth in the form of

Eurms Worth So 900. NON. 900.

The total value of the farm properties
of the United States is estimated by Sec
rotary Wilson S department at S23, 900, 600
900. This is an increase OF So, 600, 900, 0G0
since 1900. 1t is more than twice the
capitalization of all the railroads of the
United States and four and a half times
their real value. The earnings of the
farms for the year amounted to nearly
three times the net earnings of all the
railroads. Not only are the American
farms the foundation of the domestic
plenty that pervades the land, but they
are the source of the nations credit a.
