The new-old board of freeholders or
ganized on Wednesday when Clerk
Bennett called the body together,
called the roll and asked for nominal
tions for officers. John d. Smith
named DIR. G.. A. Becker and he was
elected by unanimous vote for his
fourth term as Director.
On assuming the chair DIR. Becker
thanked the board and called for NOM
nations for Clerk. Freebooter Spen-
Ger named Charles III. Bennett, the
former incumbent and he was elected
unanimously. At this time Collector
Mclean said he guessed he had better
quit his chair as he did not belong
there any longer. On calling for NOM
nations for Collector there was gem
eral shout of Mclean and he was also
elected unanimously. For County En-
gineer, William +. King was elected.
He has the distinction OF being the
only Democrat to secure election in
the Republican board, and has held

Summer Fallow.

The summer fallow has been somewhat
of a fad in this country at various times,
and many men have believed in the prac-
tice who have never felt that they could
afford it says a writer in Country Gentle
man.
Careful observation and experiment,
however, are demonstrating that this prac-
tice, borrowed from the best English agri-
culturists, is not an advantageous one to
introduce in any considerable portion of
our country. The greater heat and dry
ness of our summers render the condition
Of fallowed land wholly different from that
which results from similar treatment in the
cool and moist climate of Great Britain
There the conditions favor an improvement
Of texture and an increase of available fer
tility with every stirring of the soil, while
with us the period of extreme heat and
drought tends to burn out the humus with
out developing anything of equal value
to sake its place.

Uncle Lew Green, The Master OF
Patapsco


Fox hunting at night is a decidedly differ
ent sport from chase by day. The lay of
the land, the direction of the wind, the very
air itself are all to be reckoned with in the
match of Wits between man and dog on the
one side and reynard alone on the other. The
thick woods, the steep hills, the long valleys,
the running streams of water and here and
there au oper field among the clumpsof woods
make the setting one finds for the play of fox
and hounds. The sly reynard finds his nat
urrl home among such surroundings. Dogs
and horses ought to be part OF the equipment
of every welI-regulated farm. Yet, besides
all these, there is needed the master mlnd TO
govern and direct and to appreciate and enjoy:
The country we describe is the head waters of
the Patapsco River, in Carroll county; the
subject of this sketch we name later.
A hunter is born, not made. In the held
or woods he only rings true who can win IN
the match of wits. The divergence between
human nature and animal nature is a distinc'
ton rather than difference. The similarity
is no where more strongly suggested than IN
the woods and field The hunter, the hunted,
both the same tactics use. With suggestlon
on his part of fondness for the chase, fox
has been known to approach the hunter SO
closely in the night time that they could nave

hounds the hunter follows the pack. He picks
out the position of his favorite, and is always
ready to wager two to. one that bis dog IS IN
the lead. The long blast from his horn car
ries strong and true the hunters call to the
pack: the Leader hears and obeys. the rest
of the pack follow. Thus an old trail is
dropped and new chase begun. -,
A young fox stays close to the den; the old
ones make the circuit and the chase. Inc
scent of the fox, the hounds detect less easily
than is the fox aware OF. Thus equipped by
nature they are more than a match for the aver
age man and dog and always have fighting
chance. A knowing fox keeps ever way OF
retreat and escape. His den is reynard's cas-
tle. Thus far and no farther we follow with
the hunters.
In the neighborhood of the headwaters OF
the Patapsco lives a well-to do farmer who IS

deserves the title we give, tor not even the
frosts and SHOWS of eighty winters have
dimmed the luster of his eye nor weakened
the strength of his body. Many times, alone
under the star light, from dusk to the wee
small hours of early morn, The Master follows
his hounds From hill top to hill top he
rides; he hears the pack and knows what they
are doing Not fatigue but the fox ends the
chase. Thus life Of over sixty years finds a
man over eighty two hale and hearty, one
close to nature and content.

The regular Republican spell binder,
who relies upon an engagement by the
campaign committee, every two years to
keep the wolf from the door, is rather dis
couraged by the outlook. Since Life In

the chance of profitable engagement is
rather slim. But he should not be so
easily blufed by chairman "Jim' sher-
man, the Beef Trust will certainly come
down for past favors, in making the people

future by the past, the steamship trust
will again finance the committee for favors

Lewis Emery, the reform candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania, declares that
John D. Rockefeller controls corporations
which have total capitalization of S.
200, 600, 900, and he gave the items, too.
AS Mr.. Emery has been fighting the
Standard Oil monopoly for rs years and
has kept posted on Standard Oil invest
ments, his figures are regarded as approx
imately correct. This vast concentration
of the wealth of the country, in the con-
troll of one man, or the few, can only have
been at the expense of the many and the
Republican system that has fostered it,
must be charged before there is fair di-
vision for those who produce this vast
wealth.

There is no State in the Union where
the Republicans are not more Or less divided
on the tariff issue and in some States, Del
aware for instance, a majority of the Re-
publican voters have declared through the
if revision. The protection of the trusts
by the Dingley bill and the uncompromis-
ing attitude of the Standpatters are daily
leading Independent Republican voters to
determine to vote for the Democratic can
didates for Congress. These Independent
voters see there is no hope from their own
party as long as the trusts control it and
furnish the campaign funds to have it run
in their interest.

No Third Term.

1t would divide and disintegrate the
Republican party, if President Roosevelt
were nominated for third term, for a ma
jority Of that party declared when the
Conklin machine tried to nominate Gen.
Grant for third term that to do so was
to invite defeat. But laying aside the
political results of overriding the unwitten
law of the Republic there is the personal
matter of Mr.. Roosevelt's going back upon
his expressed promise to the people not to
be candidate for third term. 1t is we'll
to remember just what he gave out to the
public on the night of the election in 1904,
when he said:
''I am deeply sensible of the honor done
me by the American people in thus ex-
pressing their confidence in what I have
done and have tried to do. I appreciate
to the full the solemn responsibility this
confidence imposes upon me, and 1 shall do
all that in my power lies not to forfeit it.
On the 4th day of March next | shall have
served 81 years, and this b years consti-
tutes my first term. The wise custom
which limits the President to two terms
regards the substance, and not the form,
and amder no circumstances will [ be can
didate for or accept another nomination. !"
This promise that ''under no circum-
stances would he be candidate, was also
a promise to the other ambitious men of
the Republican party that they could seek
the nomination without his being in their
way. Cannon, Taft, Fairbanks, Root,
Cummins, took the President at his word
and are more or less intent and trying to
convince the Republican voters that they
would make the ideal candidate. 1t is
impossible to believe that the President
secretly cherishes the hope of a third term,
and it is more impossible to imagine that
he would commit such an act of perfdy as
to throw his political associates overheard
for the sake Of his own ambition to accom-
plish what Washington refused and Grant
was denied. A third term is therefore an
issue that need nof bother us at this time,
but it is always well to remember that
eternal vigilance on the part of the people
is the price of liberty.
