Carroll County's Towns.

In this weeks edition of the ADVOCATE
are presented some of Carroll county S
towns and their standing and progress,
viewed entirely from a trade standpoint.
The careers of some of their wide awake
commercial enterprises have been taken up,
and from reading and perusal of these
the inference is plain and conclusive that
Carroll county's business people are alert
and enterprising, and leave nothing undone
to secure for their patrons the best possible
market conditions.
These conditions are daily being recog-
nized and appreciated more and more, SO
that going away from home for the average
needs of the farm, the home and for the
individual has become thing of the past.
Our merchants and business people gen.
orally are entitled to much credit for the
splendid trade advantages their enterprise
has secured and constantly maintains, and
the ADVOCATE joins with their hosts of
patrons in according them a well merited
appreciation and the substantial results
which inevitably follow from the publicity
of the excellent results achieved.

The Late General John M. Hood.

John Mifiin Hood, formerly and for
many years President of the Western Md.
Railroad Company, and at the time of his
death President of the United Railways
and Electric Company of Baltimore, died
at his residence, 1918 North Calvert
street, on Monday evening last at 7.15
O clock. Although quite complaining he
was at his Office on Monday and Tuesday of
last week. On Saturday night he was
attacked with acute indigestion and gen
eral nervous prostration.
His death is deeply lamented by large
circle of business and personal friends, not
only in Baltimore, but throughout the
State and especially in Western Maryland.
General Hood was born in Sykesville,
Carroll county, Md, April 9th, 1843, and
was nearly "a years of age at the time of
his death. He was well known by many
of the citizens of our county, and was held
in the highest esteem by all who knew him.
He was man of exceptional ability in
railroading, and understood it from the
highest to the lowest positions. His great
work in bringing the Western Maryland
from an insignificant and bankrupt concern
to the position of one of the important rail-
roads of our State, is monument to his
ability and enterprise, and will not soon be
forgotten by our people. He was man
of remarkable versatility and knew every
thing about railroad, from cross tie to
the locomotive steam engine, and was,
withal, man of distinguished ability as a
railroad fnancier.
He performed his work in connection
with the Western Maryland Railroad under
the most discouraging circumstances, and
overcame difficulties to which less cour-
ageous man would have succumbed.
He was man of the highest personal
character; quiet and unobtrusive in his
manner, but impressed every one who knew
him with his sterling qualities of head and
heart.
Taking him, all in all, he was one Of
the most useful and distinguished men of
our State, in connection with its public
works, and Carroll County, the place of
his nativity, is proud of the record he has
made; deeply deplores his death and will
long revere his memory.

Shot Down in Brides Home.

CULPEPPER, Va, December l6.-This vi.
cinity is greatly excited over the killing of
William f. Bywaters, a prominent resident
and well known all over the country as a fox
hunter and breeder of hounds and crack
jumping horses, by James and Philip Strother,
brothers of the young woman whom Bywaters
had just married.
The tragedy occurred last night after the
wedding at Rotherwood, the home of the
Strothers, three miles from Culpepper.
1t is said that the Strother brothers were
angered by some acts in Bywaters' career
prior to his marriage to their sister.
Bywaters' was literally shot to pieces, there
being II wounds in different parts of his body.
The Strother brothers surrendered to the
sheriff after the tragedy. They were never

Bell issued warrants against them this even
ing. They were admitted to bail in the sum
of SIS, 900 each, which they readily gave and
were released, the examination being ad-
journed until next Wednesday.

Snow Ties Up Railroads.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 14.-The worst snowstorm
in years is reported by the railroad compa.
nies which have Western extensions. The
trains in Western North Dakota on every line
are snowbound, and in some cases are lost
track of. 1t is even reported that some of
the Great Northern through trains are com.
petely showed in and cannot be located. The
snow in many cases is piled 20 feet high, and
traffic is at standstill.
The only Coast trains that have arrived over
the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and ST.
Paul lines in the last "a hours have been from
"a to 4S hours late and there are many trains
which have been due for two days which have
not arrived.
Advices were received at the st. Paul offices
today that some branches have not run trains
for days.
The heavy snowstorms have also affected
construction work in the West. Work on the
spurs which are being built by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific roads in West
ern North Dakota has been temporarily
abandoned and the construction work on the
st. Paul is at a standstill.

The Japanese and the Public Schools
of California.

Under the law of California separate
schools are provided for the japanese and
other children of Asiatic parentage. The
schools.are said to be inev cry respect equal
to those provided for the white children.
The people of the entire Pacific Slope
are opposed to having their children in
mixed schools, and the State of California
has taken definite action upon the subject
The Japanese, who seem to have grown
somewhat uppish since their victory over
Russia in the recent war, are making quite
an ado about it, and claim that it is viola
tion of treaty between this country and
Japan.
President Roosevelt seems to take the
same view, and in his message to Congress,
after lauding the japanese soldiers and
sailors, goes so far as to threaten to use the
power of the General Government to COM
pei the people of California to admit Jap
anese children to the same schools with
their own children, and in defiance of their
State law. This position of the President
is certainly going very far, and has been
severely criticised.
I, Is denied that the General Govern
ment has any right, under the Constitution,
to meddle with the local affairs of a State,
and that no power can be given by treaty
in violation of the provisions of the Consti-
tuition; that treaties, like laws of Congress,
must be subject to, and in harmony with
the Constitution, which is the organic law
of the country.
This position is unquestionably correct.
IF it were not so, there is no reserved
right of a State that might not be abro-
gated and swept away by an ambitious and
designing President.
This japanese business in connection
with the schools of California, should teach
our people the lesson, that the only safety
of the country is in-adhering to the strict
letter of the Federal Constitution, which
guarantees to the States and to the people
respectively, all powers not specifically
granted to the Federal Government. And
the other lesson, that local self government
is one of the fundamental and dearest
rights of our American citizenship, and
should be rigidly and constantly adhered
to by the American people.
