AT THE meeting of the State Board of Educa-
ton last week the Montgomery county school
case, better known as the Bethesda case, which
had been hanging fire for some time, was
finally disposed of, the State Board upholding
the action of the Montgomery County Board
in demanding the dismissal of Miss Ida Dove
as principal of the Bethesda school. The posi-
ton of the trustees of the school in appoint
ing Miss Dove was thus overrued. The young
woman, who holds second-grade certificate,
was appointed regardless of the bylaws of the
County Board which call for first-grade GER
tificate to be held by every principal. The
trustees maintained that Miss Dove was suffi-
GENTLY equipped for the work. Both sides
were represented by counsel when the case was
taken mn By the State Board

GOVERNOR WAKEFIELD has published state
ment in which he shows that his primary con-
test for the Senatorial nomination cost him
81, 1929. This was in addition to his regular
party assessment of about $1,000. The Gov
ernor thinks the cards were stacked against
him in the game and that he was beaten by
trickery. Commenting edtorially on this
phase of the case an exchange says: 1.-THE
Senatorial primary was Democratic family
affair, but. according to the Governors show
ing, even in. this friendly bout within the party
the game was manipulated in manner par
taking of film fam characteristics. If pri-
mary within the party was controlled by such
INSCRIPTIONS methods, what differences may
fairly be drawn concerning the method by
which the general election was won? If
money and whisky and other corrupt methods
were used to secure votes in the Senatorial
primary, as Governor Warfield declares that
they were in certain localities, is it not thereby
rendered practically certain that such corrupt
ing methods were employed generally through
out the State to elect the Democratic ticket ?"

PROF. E. B. PRETTYMAN, former principal
of the State Normal School and widely known
as an educator, died at his home at Rockville,
Nd, on Monday last, aged rs years. For
many years DR.. Prettyman was active in the
Democratic politics of Maryland and CORES
pondent tells the following interesting story
in connection with part of his political career :
"In 1874 he was delegate from Montgomery
county to the Democratic State convention
which met in the old Maryland Institute, Bal
timore, and which will pass down into history
as one of the most remarkable and most tur-
bulent gatherings that ever assembled in the
Hamilton on one side, and William Pinkney
Whyte and Arthur P. German. who then
worked in harmony. Mr.. Hamilton was q
candidate for the nomination for Governor.
Mr.. Whyte and Mr.. German supported John
Lee Carroll. DR.. Prettyman was one of the
Hamilton forces on the floor of the conven-
tion. There was resort to filibustering tactics
to delay the nomination for Governor, the
Hamilton forces believing that such move
would aid their cause. DR.. Prettyman was
the leader in these tactics and held the floor
during an entire night session. He read from
book to consume time. The reading, how
ever, did not yield the expected results and
when a vote was reached the Whyte-Gorman
forces triumphed. Mr.. Carroll was nominated
Then ensued the memorable reform campaign
of 1875 when J. Morrison Harris was the Re-
publican candidate for Governor and S. Teackle
Wallis the independentc candidate for Attorney
General Mr.. Hamilton was nominated for
Governor four years later and was elected"

THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE met
in Washington on the 7th instant and fixed
the time and place for the National Conven-
ton of that party in 1908. Three cities were in
the fight for the convention-Chcago, Kan
sas City and Denver-the former winning by a
decisive vote. The formal call for the con-
vention is addressed ITO the Republican elec
tors of the United States and says: I'm &C.
cordance with established custom and in obe-
dience to instructions of the Republican
National Convention of 1904 the Republican
National Committee now directs that National
Convention of delegated representatives of the
Republican party be held in the city of Chicago,
in the State of Illinois, at u o'clock noon on
Tuesday. the 18th day of June, 1905 for the
purpose of nominating candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President to be voted for at the
Presidential election, Tuesday, November Sd,
1908, and for the transaction of such other
business as may properly come before it. The
Republican electors of the several states and
territories, including Hawaii, the District of
Columbia, Alaska, Porto Rico and the Philip
pine Islands, and all other electors, without
regard to past political utilization, who believe
in the principles of the Republican party and
indorse its policies are cordially invited to
unite under this call in the selection of dele
gates to said conventions

DEATHS.

Tributes. &c.. 10 Cents Per Line
The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1907-12-14

ONE OF the serious propositions for the peo-
pie of Canada to solve is the fuel supply of the
future. according to the Chicago NeUs. Not
pound of coal of any kind has ever been dis
covered in the province of Ontario. In the
older part of the province the timber is prac-
tically exhausted. The grotesque looking
stump fences, the last remains of the once
gigantic pine forests, are now being replaced
with wire fences and the stumps converted
into fuel for the furnace and stove. Hard coal
is 40 per cent. higher than it was ten years ago,
and the supply of recent years is not equal to
the demand during part of the long winter.
This condition of affairs has caused many ex-
periments to be made in the last decade to con-
vert the inexhaustible peat boys into fuel for
domestic use. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been expended in perfecting ma.
chinery to dry and manufacture the crude boys
into bricks for fuel. 1t is alleged that one firm
in Montreal alone lost $3.50 900 in trying TO
solve the difficult problem of manufacturing
peat fuel When our land gets into a similar
condition the Yankee genius will be sure to
harness the sun in some fashion.

FOLLOWING THE announcement of prohibit
ton gains in the South distinguished MEM
Der of the Daughters OF the Confederacy re-
joices in the general results with one sorrowfnl
reservation. She grieves over the effect on
''our immortal Southern gentleman" and
asks: what will become of him without bis
favorite mint juIep2" Well, she need not
worry. The South is going dry, not because
it objects to drink in the abstract, but to stop
the decentralization rum produces among the
poor, and especially the negroes. The South
is fast developing industriaIly and wants a
stable labor market among the colored men.
which she can't get with free rum. But the
old-time Southern gentleman will still have
his julep. Prohibition never kept liquor out
of State. 1t was simply transferred from the
bar to the private cellar or club. The chief
value of prohibition is to make 1t harder for
those who abuse free rum to get it. No law
can make man good, but it can make 1t more
difficult for him TO do evil or obtain the means
of evil. So while it will be a vast benefit to
keep the negro sober and industrious, the dry
law will not prevent the fine old gentleman
from sticking bis rose into julep.

ELECTRIC SHOCK KILLS.
Accident Which Caused the Death of
James Rollins.

James Rollins. a coIored man, forty-eieht
years of age living at No Essex court
northwest, met instant death from an cleo
trio shock about 1880 o'clock last night at
the Georgetown end of the Aqueduct bridge
while attempting to turn on the electric
lights of the bridge
Rollins was employed as a porter by
James w. Waddell, a saloonkeeper at 1888
NJ street northwest, and for the past five
years had been in the habit Of lighting the
lamps on the bridge each evening 1t was
while performing his duty that he was
killed. There is located at the end of the
bridge a box In which is a switch for
lighting and extinguishing the lights A
plug arrangement Is used in making the
connection. and 1t is thought that Rollins
accidentally placed his hand on the connec-
ton as the thumb and forefinger of his
right hand we're burned.
Officer ]. A. Hail. who is stationed at the
police box at the Georgetown end of the
bridge. stated that he was sitting in his
box when he saw Rollins in the act of
lighting the lamps and saw him suddenly
fall. The officer ran to his assistance and
felt for his pulse. but discovered no sign
of life., He at once summoned the seventh
precinct patrol wagon, and the man was
removed to the Georgetown University
Hospital, where II was stated he was dead
and had evidently been instantly killed. The
remains were later taken to the morgue
The coroner was notified of the accident
and will probably hold an inquest Monday
morning.

The international conference meets once
every five years and the preceding meeting
was in st. Petersburg. The czarina has al
ways taken the deepest interest in the con-
ferences and has charged the one about to
meet with the task of examining the devices
expected to be submitted in answer to her
invitation offering large money prizes for
the best means of transporting the wounded
from the field of battle. Otherwise the con-
ference is devoted to bringing up to date
the Red Cross methods of relief in time Of

tain recommendations that will be laid he
fore the approaching Hague conference.
