Worlds Oldest Industry.

There are in the Holy Land but few
industries and these of the most print
tive kind, says W. G. Fitz-Gerald in
his article, Diving for Salt in the Dead
Sea, - in the Technical World Magazine.
The awful desolation of the Dead Sea,
however, which lies nearly thirteen
hundred feet below the level of the
Mediterranean, is broken here and there
by the salt divers, whose work is prob
ably as ancient as the human race itself.
From remotest antiquity the salt of the
Dead Sea has been collected and brought
to the Jerusalem market, where it is
used for curing hides and for domestic
purposes.
Dead sea water contains over % per
cent of solid-substances, of which 7 per
cent is chloride Of sodium, or common
salt. 1t is chloride of magnesium which
gives the water its horribly bitter taste.
while che chloride of calcium makes it
feel smooth and oily to the touch, so
that after the very curious sensation of
bath in the Dead sea the skin retains
an oily sensation. The dead sea con-
tains no living creature; sea fish put in
to its waters speedily die. Not single
boat navigates its strange waters nor
is there any sign of life, save the iso-
lated parties of salt divers, who scrape
and slowly amass their precious glisten-
ing heaps of crystal near the mouth of
the Jordan. When a sufficient cargo is
made ready a long string of camels
crosses the desert, and the salt is loaded
up into panniers, or "shwerries,' and
taken into Jerusalem, where it finds
ready market"

Rockville's present postmaster, who
seems to be the cause of the trouble. ex-
cept that he has served for one term:
that his record satisfied the Postoffice
Department; that the First Assistant
Postmaster General decided to reappoint
him unless Mr.. Pearre showed cause
why this should not be done, and finally,
that his appointment has been made
and confirmed by the Senate.
We agree with Mr.. Pearre that cause
why postmaster who has served office
well should be denied reappointment is
not to be found in the fact that some
body else wants his job. In the light of
which opinion it is hard to think that a
fight based on office-seeking alone
should offset in the minds of the Re
publicans of Montgomery county the
valuable services of seven years in Con-
gress. Maryland's delegation has not
been so strong in the House that she
can afford to lose her strongest Repre-
sentative there at the behest of place
hunters.

TO AN OLD LOVER.

There is silvery frost on your hair, old boy.
There are lines on your forehead, too;
But your clear eyes speak OF the peace and
joy
That dwells in the heart Of you,
For the passing of youth you have no regret.
No signs for the summer gloam
And the lovers moon. They are with you vet
In the light Of the lamp at home.
In your summer Of youth, in that sunny hour
That will come to you never again,
When you wooed your love. as the bee the
flower,
The sweets that you gathered then
You have hived and stored for your later
life,
And your heart is the honeycomb-
All! I've seen Your face when You kissed
your wife
In the light of the lamp al home.
O. you rare old lover. O! faithful knight,
With your sweetheart Of long ago,
You are many days from the warmth and
light
OF the summers you used to know;
But you need not yearn for the glamor and
gold
Of the field you were wanton to roam
O. the light for the hearts that are growing
old
light OF the lamp at home.

ENTRANCES;
THURSDAY, MARCH l, 1906.

THERE is a strong sentiment in the
Democratic party as well as in the Re-
publican party for the repeal of the
present election law, but as the old
gang of Democratic State bosses are
still in control Of the MARYLAND Legis-
lature, there are but little hopes Of any
reform measures being passed or any
changes being made in the present cleo
tion law The Wilson Ballot law is an
unjust measure, a burden upon the tax
payers in the counties where it applies
and means whereby trick ballots are
used and many good citizens are de
prived of their right of franchise. The
Wilson law should be repealed.

THE RUMPUS IN MONTGOMERY.

A squabble over the postmastership
of Rockville has brought about a misun-
derstanding between Representative
George A. Pearre, OF the Sixth Mary
land District and Willis B. ,Burdette,
chairman of the Republican county COM
mittee of Montgomery county, which
has degenerated into a reciprocal cast
ing of aspersions, charges and counter
charges and which is dividing the Re-
publicans Of the county into two hostile
factions. Ordinarily, such rumpus is
of little Importance to anyone. But
this one threatens Mr.. Pearre's renomi-
nation for Congress.
While we do not know Mr.. Burdette.
we do know Representative Pearre, and
we regard him as a strong, able, and
honest Representative who has served
well the interest of his district during
nearly four sessions of Congress. We
venture to suggest, furthermore that if
his constituents decide not to return him
to Congress, it shonld be for the reason
that they have discovered a more able
and trustworthy man to replace him.
and not because of some internal party
squabble

shines effulgent in the never-tiring
Watterson. History has no terrors for
the Colonel. Notorious facts scatter
before lis lance, and the fctions Of his
brain rule triumphant over Louisville.
The Colonel might be misjudged by one
who knew nothing of him save his belief
that German is equipped with robes of
spOtless white, glistening wings, and a
halo earned partly in a sincere struggle
to bring about free trade. A person
who knew only this might dream the
Colonel lacked intelligence. He was
alive when German brought in one
amendment after another to ruin the
Wilson Bill. He was alive when Sena-
tor German, then as ever faithful to
protected interests, helped to lead the
Democratic Senators away from the
pledges which the Democratic Conven-
ton had given to the country. and
earned Mr.. Cleveland S charge Of party
perfdy and party dishonor," phrase
which the whole country attached pri-
marily and at once to German. The sub
ject is almost too one-sided for discus
sion. To make reasonableness Of his
view of German, Colonel Watterson

THIS paper is in receipt Of a copy Of
the bill recently introduced in the Low
err House Of the General Assembly Of
the State by Mr. Selby of Garrett,
whereby the author seeks to make the
books used in the public schools through
cut the State uniform and giving power
to the State Board of Education to
make the purchases of such books, TAX
ing the matter entirely out of the hands
of the local boards of school commits
sioners. While the State Board of Ed
ucation has the ability to make selec-
tons of the text books to be used in all
counties of the State there is no doubt,
but we fail to see wherein the Judgment
of the State Board is superiorin this re-
spect to that of the local boards of
school commissioners. A saving in the
expenditure Of the public funds for
school books in placing the matter in
the hands Of the State Board of Educa-
ton has been advanced as an argument
in favor Of the bill but at the present
time this is but theory and not fact.
School books in all parts of the country
are expensive, but not more so in this
section than in other parts Of the State.

Work Is being pushed on the vast
Klamath, Ore, reclamation scheme,
well under way, to make productive
10000 acres of land now useless. OF
that area there will be 1900 acres
ready for the plow OF the lrrigator
next spring. says c. NJ. Hysteu In the
Portland Journal.
The main canal, which leads from the
lower end Of the upper klamath lake
to a point In the desert nine miles east
Of the town of klamath Falls, Is being
rapidly constructed. The water Is car
ried from the upper lake through a
tunnel under a hill Just north Of the
town. This tunnel is being rapidly con-
structed. 1t Is being driven from both
ends, and also by drifting from shafts
sunk along the right Of way. The tun-
nell will be completed during the COM

DECIDE TO
LET CONTRACT
Work On Canal Would Be Faster and
More Satisfactory.
Decision of Roosevelt and Shonts-
Chinese Laborers To Be Turned
Over to Contractors - TAFT Will
Have Hand in Letting Contracts
for Chinese.

Washington, Oct. CIT has been
finally decided that the Panama canal
will be completed by contract. In a
few days the commission will make
public q statement setting forth its rea.
sons for favoring the contract system,
and at that time form Of contract will
also probably be published showing ea.
actIy the sort of document believed by
the ommissioners to be necessary for
safeguarding the work.
President Roosevelt is known to sup
port the commission in it's position that
the work can be done more satisfact ori.
ly by contractors than by the govern
ment. He had long conference with
Chairman Shonts today on the subject
and the various arguments in favor OF
the contract system were discussed
fully.
This change in building the canal
will in no way affect the employment
OF Chinese labor. Proposals for furn'
ishing the Chinese labor we're made
under such conditions that they can be
transferred to contractors and the terms
can be fulfilled in such manner that
the government can give the coolies
Just as much protection as it could II
the government were the direct en-
ployer. 1t is likely that no disposition
will be made of the bids for supplying
Chinese labor until after the return OF
Secretary Taft from Cuba, as he assist
ed in drawing the specifcations under
which proposals. were offered and is
much interested in the conditions under
which the Chinese are to be taken to
the isthmus.
The president still intends to visit
the Isthmus this fall and, unless there
be some change for the worse in the
Cuban situation, will probably leave
for Colon short time after the election.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Invitations
for proposals to complete the Panama
canal were issued today by the canal
commission and the form of contract
under which the work is to be done
was made public by Chairman Shonts,
who also gave out letter written to
the secretary of war giving the COM

work.
The contract provides that each bid
der must undertake the entire work OF
construction. No bar will be offered
to corporations associating in the un.
dertaking, but thev must be legally
organized into single body with which
the government can deal. Bidders will
not be considered who do not have
available capital OF $5,000,0O0. A
certified check for 5000, 900 is required
With each proposal snd bond of $3.-
900, 200 will be required from the sue.
cessful bidder. The bidding is not
limited to American contractors. All
proposals are to be in before noon OF
December u, when they will be open
ed.
Proposals are to be expressed in terms
of percentage upon the estimated cost
of construction, which is to be fixed by
board of five engineers, three repre-.
senting the government and two the
contractor. The chief engineer OF the
canal commission is to be chairman OF
the engineering board.
In support of the commissions posi-
tion that the cana! can be contracted to
greater advantage than it can be built

Gays that, "hecause of the unrrecedent-
ed and greatly extended industrial ac-
tivity Of the time and the consequent
violent competition for all classes OF
superintendent, ioremen, sub-contrac-
tors, skilled mechanics and even ordi-
nary laborers, it would take the COM

up departmental construction organiza-
tons which would equal in efficiency
those now controlled by the leading
contractors of the United States"
