The HOME And The GOVERNMENT

The questions which are settled at
the ballot box are questions which
concern every home, and they are not
merely questions of banking and cur
rency and tariff. Pure food, pure
water, pure milk, clean streets, proper
protection against disease, proper pro-
lection of the rights of children, good
schools, good influences and surround
ings in which to bring up children
all these are questions of government,
alf these specially concern women, and
all these are settled through the ballot
box. While banking and currency
and tariff and other commercial ques-
tons specially touch mans side of life
and need his, brain and his interest
and his vote for their solution. These
other questions specially touc h
woman's side of life and need her
brain and her interest and her vote
for their best solution. The state is
but the home on larger scale. 1t is
one-sided, imperfect home which has
no woman in it, and is of necessity
must be one-sided, imperfect state
which shuts women out from partici-
patton in its affairs. The interests
which men specially care for in the in
dividual home are we'll cared for in
the state; the interest which women
specially care for in the individual
home are neglected in the state. We
lead the world in manufacturing, but
Is per cent. of the food we eat is adul-
terated; we have a great navy and are
ready to appropriate untold millions
for canal TO aid commerce, but the
census of 1900 showed that 1917 per
cent. of our population could not read
or write, and in our great cities thous-
ands of children are every year turned
away from the schools because there
are neither seats nor teachers for them.
If all the interests of life are to be we'll
cared for, women must stand side by
side with men in the larger home of
the state as now they stand side by
side with men in the smaller home OF
the household.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE KoWTOW.
In China 1t Is Used as a Form Of
Thanks, Not a Greeting.

The kowtow pronounced ker-toe,
and meaning literally to bow the
head) is used as a form of thanks,
and is not manner of greeting, says
Katharine A. Carl in the Century.
The actors kowtow to their majesties
at the beginning and end of each per-
Torrance at the theater, first ia thank
for the honor they are to receive in
being allowed to act before them, and
at the end to thank for the privilege
granted. The officials "bow the head"
to thank for an audience or any favor
or gift they have received or are to
receive from their majesties. The
kowtow is not only made by people at
the palace and at imperial audiences;
1t is sometimes used by equals to
each other as proper manner of
thanking for some great favor. To
make the kowtow, the person kneels
three times, and each time bows his
head three times, touching the ground
with it. The kowtow could not be
made by foreigner without looking
most awkward and appearing most
servile, but the Chinese do it with dig
nifty, and it is neither ungraceful nor
degrading. It is time-honored man.

Wagon Upset and Injured Three.

Messrs. r. A. Smith, Of Blaine, and
E. j. Hamill, of KitzmiIlersville, accom-
panied by the formers two little sons,
while returning on Friday last over the
road beyond Blaine, met with an acct
dent which resulted painfully and seri-
ously for both Messrs. Hamill and Smith
and the latter's little boy. At one place
in the road there is a sharp turn and
while rounding this the wagon fell over
on its side throwing the occupants out
into the road. Mr.. Smith suffered
severe injury to his back which has kept
him bedfast ever since, while Mr.. Ham
ills foot was seriously injured, the
whole upper portion of it being torn
away. The boy was rendered uncon-
scious and though suffering severely
MIR. HamiIl picked him up and carried
him over the mile and a-half Intervening
between the place Of accident and home.
Mr.. Smith was also rendered uncon-
scious by the fall and so remained until
team was sent out from Blaine which
brought him to his home an hour after
ward. All the injured are recovering
slowly.

Sunday School Convention at
BitGinSer.

Conforming to announcements in the
county press and to every available
school in Garrett, the MARYLAND Sunday
Union, headed by its we'll known and
popular State Superintendent, the Rev.
Geo. Mock of Baltimore city, met
promptly at the appointed hour, Satur-
day morning June Both, 1906, in the
spacious and well arranged Lutheran
church of Bittinger.
There had been a deeply rooted
thought in pessimistic minds that this
we'll established fraternity had about
accomplished its mission and lost its at
Effectiveness in Garrett, but the good
people of Bittinger and of the surround
ing region, by their presence, interest
and hospitality speedily cleared the at
mosphere of such clouds and doubts.
President W. H. Clary of the county
organization for the first time since his
election was at the gavel, and intro
duced Rev. W. H. Faust, of the Bap-
fist persuasion of Deer Park to open the
lncipient proceedings in prayer.
By few timely Introductory remarks
the chair declared the convention ready
for the order of business as traced by
the programme. Rev. J. B. Shoup, the
noblest Roman of them all, delivered
an address of generous welcome to
homes and hearts. of the public spirited
citizens of his community, pointing out
questions of vital concern to the church
at large requiring the attention and ac-
ton Of the churchmen assembled. Brief
responses to the address of welcome
were made by C. NJ. Miller and the Rev.
Mr.. Mock. Then followed a close OBJ
servance in every particular, of
thoughtfully prepared programme
throughout the proceedings running
through morning, afternoon and even
ing meetings to the closing hour of Sun
day night, July 1st. Such as came to
hear ripe thoughts vigorously expressed
in debates and presentations of:subiects
were gratified beyond anticipation by
such speakers assigned questions and

prominent in discussions, as Reverends
Mr.. Mock, Mr.. Shoup, Mr.. Faust, Mr..
Manages, of the Lutheran denomination,
Mr.. Hudson, of the Baptist denomina-
ton, together with Mr.. G. E. Bishoff
and others. Several speeches delivered
merit notice precluded by this hUr-
RED notice, but they were excellent and
50 happily chosen as not only to beauti-
fully lucidate the subjects but loom up
and range out over denominational lines
in earnest and eloquent advocacy of a
common cause.
Inc convention sermon was delivered
by State Superintendent Mock to a
crowd that filled every seat and space
from the chancel rail to the doors. A
similar pack of the building was there
IN the afternoon listening to the earnest
and enthusiastic address of Mr.. William
W. Sweet, with supplementary remarks
from others. Mr.. Clary was reelected
president, Mr.. Samuel P. Specht treas
urer and c. NJ. Miller secretary for the
year ensuing; and executive and re-
visory election district committees were
also chosen but they are not yet COM
plete in some particulars therefore are
not given here. When the transaction
of all business had been finished the
memorial committee reported as follows:
Resolved: That the Maryland Sunday
School Union, this 1st day of July, 1906,
in convention assembled at Bittinger,
Garrett county, Maryland, is reminded
with unfeigned regret of the death of
Mr.. William E. George, a former. men,
Der of this fraternity.
, And, while sorely deprived of his fel-
lowship, zeal and advocacy, we humbly
acknowledge goodness and mercy
that permitted him at the end of a long
career in the Masters calling to fear
no evil, but bow submissive head to
the final decree and pass down lighted
pathway in peace.
At the termination of the memorial
services adjournment was taken until
the week ending next before the full
moon in June, 1907, at Deer Park.
