Maryland Affairs.

Warren c. Garmsn, 81 years of age, Of
Baltimore, who for the past IL years had been
a postal clerk, was arrested Tuesday morning
on a warrant worn out by Postal Inspector
Major Samuel Hooten, charging him with The
embezzlement of letter containing $3.50.
While hunting, Tuesday, Charles Brubaker,
of MiddIeburg Washington county, shot him
self in the right leg. The injury was of such
a nature that be was unable to walk, and as a
result was forced to crawl to his home, a dis
lance of nearly mile. 1t is not believed
amputaton OF the limb will be necessary.
Fire Tuesday destroyed the large Touring
mill belonging to Jacob Grove, mile aud n
half north of Welsh Run, Washington county.
There is nothing standing but the four, stone
walls. The fire had gained great Roadway
when discovered. 1t is believed to have been
the work of an incendiary. The loss of John
Riggs, the lessee and manager, in the way OF
wheat, corn and -four will amount to So, 900.
Mr. Groves loss on the building is about
So, 900, partly covered by insurance.
Warrants were served Tuesday on ex Treas
urer James 7. Clark, of Ellicott City. on
three charges--one for forgery. one for pass
ing forged order and the other for obtaining
money under false pretenses. All the charges
were made by w. W. Burton. proprietor of
the Howard County Progress, the Republican
organ of the county, The warrants were is-
sued by Justice Frank Hammond, who set
the preliminary hearing for November 18th.
The offenses are alleged to have been com
mitted in October of last year.

Tobacco Trust Plundering.

The Virginia and North Carolina tobacco
growers are trying to organize to escape the
clutches of the tobacco octopus, known as
the American Tobacco Co. These farm
ers claim that the trust through its vari-
GUS branches fixes the price of tobacco and
there is practically but one buyer. Before
the trust was formed there was competition
and when the product was auctioned off
there was some show for the farmer to get
a fair price, The tobacco growers intend
to adopt a method whereby they can hold
their tobacco until satisfactory price is
obtained, and pledges were read at meet
ing in Danville from more than 1000
growers agreeing to place the whole or part
of their crop of 1906 in the hands of
committee for disposal.
Although there has been on file in the
Department of Justice for more than six
years ample evidence to convict the tobac-
co trust magnates of conspiracy in restraint
of trade, yet the Roosevelt Administration
has refused to prosecute the case and SO
encouraged the trust managers to even
greater exactions. The plan of this trust
in criminally depressing the price of what
it buys and forcing its competitors to the
wall, is closely after the manner Of the
Beef Trust, another plunderer of the farm
ers and consumers. With hundreds of
special attorneys employed the Admins
ton has not succeeded in convicting and
imprisoning a single trust manager. A
few paltry fines have been imposed, but
such mild punishment has had no effect on
righting the wrongs of producers, or con-
sumers, for no trust has ceased to beat
down the price of what it buys or has de-
creased the price of what it sells.
Those Democrats who have become
Rooseveltized must feel foolish for follow
ing him as a model trust buster for what
have they gained by it /?

Democratic Days Coming.

Railroad magnate Hartman may be
"aboye the level of the rest of US, but it
is dollars to doughnuts that he is riding
for fall. His latest attempt to rule the
destinies of the Illinois Central railroad,
which is about the last of the Independent
railroads, will if successful lead to his un-
doing, for the public will only stand about
80 much concentration in the hands of one
man and he is trying to overdo the thing
The magnates that control railroad COM
binations, the trust corporations, the ex-
press combine and others that charge call
the traffic will bear,' will soon be feeling
that life is hardly worth living when the
long suffering people get through with
them. There viii be no confscation, no
socialism, which is un-American, but taxes
will have to be paid by these corporations
like other people pay on the value of their
property and rates will be regulated SO that
SURPRISES will not pile up to be used for
stock speculation; but there viii be ssequal
rights to all and special privileges to none
in the Democratic days that are coming.

A New Trust.

The Beet Sugar Trust-The Great
Western Sugar Comrany-thinks it has
cinch on the production Of denatured alco-
hol from the waste pulp of the sugar beet,
after the available sugar has been extracted.
A fight between the Whiskey Trust and
the Sugar Trust to control the market for
denatured alcohol would give us cheap al
cohol for fuel and light for time, at least
until the two trusts combined. But if the
Beet Sugar Trust is successful in thus
disposing Of its waste product, what be-
comes of the argument that the farmers
are to find market for grain which will
not pass inspection? Under Republican
legislation it always seems to turn out that
the farmers get the worst end Of it and the
trusts come out on top.

Horse Brings Home Murdered Farmer

BELLEFoNTE. Pa, November 18.-Josiah
Dale was murdered last night on the public
road between this place and Center Hall.
Early Monday morning he left his home, at
Center Hall. and went to his farm, on the top
of Nittany Mountain, were he husked corn all
day in the field. About O'Clock in the.
evening he left the farm in buggy to 60 home,,
which was only two miles distant. This was
the last seen of him alive. When he failed to
return at the usual time his wife became wor
ried and called her neighbor, ex-Sherif
Cyrus Brungart, and told him that she was
afraid something had happened to her hus-
band.
The sheriff, with number of citizens, went
in search of Mr.. Dale, and just as they got to
the barn the faithful horse was seen coming
down the road toward them. The searchers
at once saw the body of Dale hanging over
the dashboard. The man was dead, but the
body was still warm.
1t is thought that the horse walked over
mile and half down the steep-mountain while
Dale was struggling in the agony of death.
Before removing the body from the buggy .
light was procured and an examination made,
which showed that the farmer had been shot
in the back, just below the left shoulder blade.
There is no clue to the murderer.

The Dignity OF Labor.

There is nothing that so digni6es and
enriches our human nature, as our ability
TO work This is the normal condition Of
man, and without it he would be an un-
happy, miserable drone There are great
many persons who do not look upon labor
as blessing, but it is go nevertheless.
When God said to Adam in the Garden
of Eden, sin the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread He did what He has al
ways done with our fallen humanity, con-
verting curses into blessings, taking the
very sting out of misfortunes and disasters,
and turning them to good. And in no in
stance has this been more clearly shown,
than in the universal law which commands
man to work. Hisphysical being tells him
if he would be strong and vigorous he must
work. His mental and moral nature says
to him, if you would be happy you must
work
All observation and experience teach us,
that the strong man, the man of brawny
muscles and good digestion, is the man
who works. And the working man, who
has robust physical development and uses
it in every day toll, can lie down at night
with the consciousness, that he is fulfilling
one of the important laws of his being.
When we think about labor, and the
laboring man, he who tolls from morning
until nigh-nature real nobleman- we
are met bymany false notions about what
work is, aud what it means to humanity.
There are many people who look upon
work as mere drudgery, this and nothing
more. Taking this view it, they must,
of necessity, be unhappy in it. We eoun-
sci, young men especially, those upon our
farms and in our shops, not to take such a
low and erroneous view of the subject.
To be sure, the work may be hard, may
tire the muscle, but remember that it is
better, thousand times, to have tired
muscle that will soon repair itself, than to
have tired brain, that cannot be SO east
ly put to rest.
This is an Agricultural community, and
all observant persons have noted with re-
gret, the disposition upon the part of our
Young men to leave the farm, and rush to
the cities and smaller towns. This is to
be deplored, as there is no place on this
broad earth, where a man ought TO be
happier, freer from care, and have a
brighter and more joyous spirit, than on
the farm. The man who toils under the
broad expanse of Gods heavens, and In
hales the invigorating air of the country,
who has no notes in bank calling for pay
ment, and who is not harrassed about the
falling off of trade, but who lives on what
he earns, and eats what he produces, Is
surrounded by the best conditions to make
man happy and contented. Young man,
stick to the farm.

What Will The Cost Be2

The estimates for the Panama Canal
for the next fiscal year have been prepared
and will require S25, 4O6, 258, of which
$1,000, 909 is for labor, 1856, 900 for
further equipment of the Panama railroad
and the balance, nearly fifteen millions, for
construction materials. AS the pay of the
laborers is 81 day, the estimated amount
will provide 80, 900 laborers working 300
days in the year, but as the laborers will
not average anything like 300 days work
in the year, the real number employed will
be much greater AS most of the mil
lions already expended have been for ma
terials, the amount now called for for that
purpose would seem to be far beyond the
necessities of construction. Judging by
the estimates, and taking ten years to
complete the canal, the cost will far exceed
the amount that the Administration told
us the Canal would cost.
As President Roosevelt has given up the
work of making the "dirt fly and is now
about to let the building of the canal by
contract, there will be great incentive for
fraud and grating, so how much the Canal
will cost the people of the United States
under this cratic change of plans of Re-
publican Administration, before it is COM
pleted, is what no fellow can figure on. It
is quite likely that after the contracts are
let, there will be disagreement with the
contractors, involving prolonged and ex-
pensive litigation and the work will probably
have to be completed by the army engin-
eers. This is what the Republicans call
"doing things"

Corruption Fund in Political
Campaigns.

There is a widespread and growing feel
ing throughout Maryland, at this time,
upon the subject of the excessive use OF
money in political campaigns. In certain
sections of our State and especially IN the
First Congressional District, which Is COM
posed of the Eastern Shore counties, the
practice of corrupting voters by the use OF
money, has become intollerable.
And the question Of declaring vacant,
by the House of Representatives, the seat
of Mr.. William III. jackson, the Republi-
can, who has recently been declared elected
from that district, and whose election is
generally believed to have been bought, is
considered probable.
Everybody who knows Mr.. jackson,
knows that he is utterly incompetent to
represent any district, in the Congress of
the United States, and would never have
been thought of for such position, except
for his money, and his disposition to use
it, to any extent necessary to accomplish
his ends. And this is the gentleman, Mr..
Bonaparte, the purist in politics, was
campaigning for in the First district, and
whose candidacy he was championing.
Whether the Republican House of Repre-
sentatiyes will have the honesty and the
courage to turn down Mr.. Jackson, is q
question. But it ought to be done, fo'
the sake of common decency.
But it is not the purpose of this article,
to discuss Mr.. Jackson. He is conspic
uous example of class, that is doing the
same thing, perhaps in smaller way. al
over the State. And the Press and tht
People are crying out. that it must b
stopped And so say we.

Democratic State Central Committee, hal
announced his willingness to enter into al
agreement with the Chairman of the Re
publican Commute, to stop this abuse
