Papers that lead in local and
county news are invariably the
best mediums for the local mer-
chant. This is a fact generally
recognized, as nine out of ten
conservative local advertisers in
placing an appropriation, aim
to use the paper that is read by
the townspeople of surrounding
towns. 1t is the paper that is
first in the estimation of the
local merchant. Ask any local
advertiser and prove this.

SOME OF THE
NEW LAWS
That Were Enacted At The Recent
Session OF The Legislature. And Have
Been Signed BY Governor Warfield.
The Legislature OF 1906 Wa, Free OF
Corporation Influence.

The Legislature can be fairly credited
with the following public measures
which will probably rebound to the gen
eral welfare.
II has made the greatest reduction in
the State tax rate that perhaps any
other Legislature ever accomplished
BY its investigation of the Washing
ton Branch the sale of the State stock
in that road was accomplished at price
which made the reduction in the tax
rate feasible This sale was made by
the Board of Public Works. and the
Legislature recommended II.
The Haman Oyster bill was passed
out of which it is expected more i'm
provement to the State and more wealth
and material advantage will come 10 its
people than by any law which has been
enacted within the memory of anyone
now living.
The Child Labor bill was passed, and
this good law will make for the physical.
the moral and mental Improvement of
citizens in the years to come.
Provision has been made by liberal
appropriation for State sanitarium
for the treatment of tuberculosis. and
an appropriation was also made to en-
large the usefulness of the Endowood
Hospital and the establishment of a
camp for consumptives in the noun
tains of Maryland. The wide spread
good which will be accomplished by
these laws in stamping out the most
fatal of all the diseases which aiilict
our people is ncalculable.
The Hill Boulevard law. which pro
vides for an improved highway from
Baltimore to Washington. is a measure
for the material Improvement of the
State of far-reaching Importance and
of lasting benefit.
Senator Browns Forestry bill is an
other measure for material improve
ment which may be but the first step
in a splendid advance toward prosperity.
The Anders Mileage Book bill. if the
railroad companies are broad-minded
enough TO accept it, will be of general
convenience to the people of the entire
State and will promote travel and inter
course and benefit the railroads as much
as the people.
Senator Germans bill to increase the
public revenues by increasing the tax
on the gross receipts of corporations.
The bills of Senator Biddison and Mr.
Dorton to facilitate the construction of
an electric road from Baltimore to
Washington. which will greatly benefit
the retail trade OF Baltimore.
One of the remarkable characteristics
of this session has been its singular
freedom from railroad influence. For
the first time since Oden Bowie was
elected Governor. in 1867, the Pennsyl-
vana Railroad Company was unable to
get just the legislation it desired. and
the Baltimore and Ohio was unable to
block legislation il did not desire.
Democratic messenger., 1906-04-07
Change In Liquor Law.

Heretofore the Clerk of the Circuit
Court for Worcester County has passed
upon the applications for license to sell
liquors in this county. At the present
session Of the Legislature the law was
changed, and the petitions will now be
considered and passed upon by the Judges
of the Circuit Court The section re-
pealed is No. 1876, which has been re-
enacted to read as follows: ANY such
hotel keeper in said county, proposing
to sell any Intoxicating, spirituous, vim
Gus, or fermented liquors rs aforesaid
in said county. shall file his petition IN
THE CIRCUIT COURT for Worcester
County. TWENTY DAYS IN AID
VANCE of the issuing of the license ap-
piled for il granted. during which said
time said COURT shall pass upon said
petition. etc.
The license fee has been increased one
hundred dollars, which amount goes Ia
the public school fund for Worcester
County.

A New Oyster Law.

A bill of great importance to oyster
men has been signed by Governor
Wariield, and takes effect at once.
1t was introduced by Senator Kirwan,
of Queen Anne's county. The vita
section of the measure is as follows :
1t shall be unlawful for any person
to transport or attempt To transport
outside of this State for any purpose
whatsoever understandable oysters,
whether the understandable oysters be
taken from or caught on the natura
bars or beds of this State or from pri-
vate beds and lots in this State. and any
violation of the provisions of this sec
tion shall be deemed misdemeanor.
and the captain or person in charge of
any boat or vessel used in the violation
of the same shall, upon conviction OF
violating the provision of this section
before any justice of the peace or court
of competent jurisdiction, be sentenced
TO the House of Correction for period
of not less than three months nor more
than six months, and the boat or yes
sci so used shall be forfeited. but shall
be released upon the payment of a fine
of not less than 500 and not more than
$500. and the cargo of such vessel shall
be coniiscated to the State and shall be
distributed under the supervision of the
commander or some deputy commander
or general oyster inspector of the State
fishery force upon the natural rocks and
bars
This is an entirely new law, and. it is
understood, will be rigidly enforced.

THE SCHOOL OF MINES
Board Of Trustees Meet and Elect
Members to Fill Vacancies in
the Faculty,
IMPORTANT CHAIRS ARE FILLED
Professor Harry N. Eaton, Geolo-
gist, and Professor r. v. Smith,
Metallurgist.

The Board of Trustees of the
School of Mines held a meeting
in the Office of Secretary and
Treasurer c. T. Brown last Sa-
turday principally for the purpose
of filling vacancies in the faculty
of the institution. Their delibera-
tionS resulted in the election of
Professor Harry n. Eaton of
New York to the chair of Geolo-
gy and Professor X. V. Smith of
the University of Utah to the
chair of Mining and MetallurgS.
Professor X. w. Twining was
reelected principal of the pre-
paratory department.
Professor Eaton is a graduate
of Colgate University and a post
graduate student of Harvard
University. During the past
year he was an instructor at the
latter institution in the depart
ment of geology. Professor
Smith has had considerable prac-
tical experience in his line. He
was at one time assayer and,
later, manager for the ConSoli-
dated Gold Mines company of
Tuscarora, Nevada. He has
had experience also in the cop
per Smelters and cyanide plants
of Utah.
Both men come highly recon-
mended. They will doubtless
greatly increase the efficiency of
the instruction afforded at the
| School of Mines
