OF BALTIMORE COUNTY.
Election Tuesday, NoUsnu6er 8, 1906.
THAT WAS great newspaper the Baltimore
american got out last Monday. There were
forty pages of it and it was so full of the Greater
Baltimore. embellished with fine pictures that
it was not possible to read it all in day. To
the american was largely due the great success
OF this weeks Jubilee. 1t did an untiring
work in its behalf-more than all the other
city papers together--and it should receive due
credit therefor.
The w. C. T. U. of York county is after
those public school teachers who use tobacco
and wants them turned out of their positions.
At the closing session of the Unions county
convention a resolution was adopted declaring
that no certificate should be granted to teach
ers who use tobacco in any form, and that
members of churches should discountenance
the use of tobacco by their pastors and Sunday
school superintendent.
Our ON the big prairie ranches of western
Kansas and Nebraska farmers are now in such
haste to get their fall blowing finished that
they are running big steam plows at night,
with headlights on the motor engines. Thus
they are able to turn over sixty acres of land
in twenty-four hours with only two men,
working in shifts. Two men working in the
old way could only pillow about six acres day.
Within the past year $50 steam plows have
been sold.
The TwKNTY.NINTH annual convention of
the Pennsylvania MiIlers State Association
will be held in Baltimore three days next week,
commencing on Tuesday, and an elaborate pro-
gram has been prepared for the reunion. Mr..
H. g. Luttgerding, proprietor of North Branch
Mills, Baltimore county, was mainly instru-
mental in securing this gathering for the
Monumental City. The association has
membership of PSI, Mr., Luttgerding being
among the number.
AFTER ALL there are scientists who advise us
to speak gently of Uncommon. insanitary fly.
The determination of the fly is not desirable
Like many another minute organism despised
of men, it performs vital function in nature
breeding in dead or decaying things which it
prepares for future generations of vegetable
aud animal life. The purity and sweetness of
the atmosphere in which it floats are largely
due to its work. AS a scavenger consequently,
the fly has big claim on our gratitude. But,
for the same reason it should be exiled from
the abodes of men and foodstuffs intended for
human consumption require to be protected
from it.
Hon. JOHN p PoE one of Maryland most
prominent Democrats, is severe in his denun-
citation of Mr.. Bryan's new idea of Govern
ment ownership of railroads In an interview
on Monday last Mr.. Poe said I'm deliberate
s-f5r prociafmiDg this indefensible and danger
GUS heresy as an article of his political faith,
and in boldly adhering to it in contemptuous
defiance of widespread criticism and dissent,
Mr.. Bryan himself furnishes convincing proof
that bis nomination as the Democratic can
didate for President in 1908 will be calamity
to the party and his election an impossibility.
1t is too much to expect that the Democrats
of the country WILL at bis dictation, abandon
the fundamental principle of their faith and
work under his leadership to establish a cen.
tralized government at Washington. with pow
ers beyond anything heretofore dreamed of
by the most advanced advocates of Federal
consolidation"
THAT ONE man cannot loot bank to any
large extent has been demonstrated by the in
vestigation of the affairs of the Real Estate
Trust Company of Philadelphia. There must
be collision to steal millions. Directors may
he honest, but they are easily deceived and
are often selected more for their influence in
bringing business to bank than to guard its
assets. Then. too, directors are not often ex.
pert book-keepers and can be easily hood
winked by crooked accounts. Lastly, few of
them have time to inquire into the details of
banking operations. Bot one thing seems
sure, that the clerks of bank, the receiving
and paying teIIers the cashier, the book-keep-
ers of various ledgers and so on must in time
find out what is going on when s., 200, 900 is
being stolen. That there was conspiracy or
criminal negligence in the management of the
Philadelphia Trust has now been pretty clearly
demonstrated, and it looks as if for once there
will be an earnest endeavor to punish the
guilty ones to the full extent ofthe law.
THE WAR between Mr.. Bryan and Roger
Sullivan, the member of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee from Illinois, wakes warmer.
Judge Thompson, one of Mr.. Bryan's most
prominent Illinois leaders, has been drawn
into the affair and he has some tart things to
say about Sullivan. For example: Roger
Sullivan's statement that bought delegates in
the convention that nominated me for Judge
denounce as malicious and unmitigated false
hood. never directly or indirectly bought
delegate at the convention for myself or for
any other person. Some of my friends advise
bringing suit for SANDER, others more numer-
Gus counsel against giving such an unscrupu-
lous scoundreI an opportunity to produce a
gang of peTjurers such as he can and always
does command to spit out in court their ven
omous lies. My course is not yet determined.
Any man who is vicious enough and bold
enough to arm convicts and Jail birds and
bring them to a convention as his delegates, as
Sullivan did at Peoria, shows the character of
the man that is to be delt with" If this is
good pen sketch of Sullivan no wonder Mr..
Bryan declines to mix" with him.
BALT1MoRE's GREAT JUBILEE, TO commemor-
ate the rising of the city from the ashes of the
great fire of February, 1904, which began last
Sunday with special services in many of the
churches, has been in progress all the week
and many thousands of strangers have partici-
pated in its pleasures. Monday was a day of
general reception and decoration. Tuesday
was military day, when the Maryland troops
were Joined by those from other states in
grand pageant. Wednesday was the greatest
OF all days and brought forth the finest trades
display that was ever seen in this country.
Thirty thousand men were in line and scores
of deliberately decorated floats, wagons and
vehicles of all kinds that made up the line
presented bewildering spectacle. Thursday
was firemen's day, when number of COM
panies from other cities that worked on the
great conAagration of 1904 Joined with the
Baltimore and Baltimore county fremen in
one of the most attractive parades ever seen in
acv c;tv FRIDAY and SATURDAY. were given up
