Of the late President Mckinley. She was
the founder OF the first chapter of the

The statement just made by the
President that he will not depart
from his previous announced deter
mination not to seek or accept a
third term as president will cause
widespread relief and we believe
widespread satisfaction throughout
the country. The limitation of the
presidents tenure to eight years has
been so long established that it has
become as much a portion of our
constitution as the written document
itself. We in no way belittle the
Presidents ability when we advance
the proposition that among the
9O,0O0,O0O of our citizens there is
abundance of first class presidential
timber, and that it will be for the
best interests of our whole people
that at least once in eight years a
new man shall be placed at the helm.

We have received from the War
Department at Washington an elab-
crate map showing the topography
of the country around Vicksburg,
Miss, and a statement ofthe progress
already made towards establishing
a National Military park there. The
commission has already expended
$775,o00 appropriated by Congress
for the purpose, and fourteen states
have spent $797, 900 morein theerec
ton of monuments. bronze and iron
tablets, etc. The public funds have
been expended on the grading and
building of 80 miles of park road
way, 16 bridges, So historicaltablet
and a concrete tower 90 feet high,
and this promises soon to be the
most attractivepark south of Mason
and Dixon's line. Probably the
noblest inscription recorded there is
that by Pennsylvania, which reads,
''Here brothers fought for their prin-
ciples. Here heroes died for their
country and a united people will
forever cherish the precious legacy Of
their noble manhood"

Prof. E. B. Prettyman, aged rs
years, died at his home in Rockville on
Monday of ailments incident to his
advanced years. For over SO years
he was a conspicuous figure in the
public life of Maryland and from
1890 until 1905 he was the principal
of the Maryland State Normal
school. AS such he did much to
popularize the institution and build
it up in numbers, to create healthy
sentiment for the public school
system throughout the state, and to
bring about such amendments to the
laws on the subject of public educa-
ton as would add to their efficiency.
He was a heightened chivalrous
gentleman of the old school, and he
will long be remembered as a warm
friend and earnest advocate of every
cause he espoused. A good man has
been called up higher.

of twenty per cent. better than one
year ago. Thisis likely tobe intensl-
fed by the high price of wheat, which
creates a demand for the cheaper
grain. While the wheat crop is be-
low the average for the past FIVE
years it is above in average price,
and in this respect was exceeded only
in 1901, 1902 and 1905.
The most striking progress has
been made in the dairy and poultry
products; last year the dairy pro-
ducts exceeded in value every crop
except corn, and the value of poultry
and eggs was greater than that OF
wheat.
A persistent effort has been made
to give steadiness to the nations
agriculture by encouraging diverslh-
cation. The chief means used to &C
complish this has been irrigation,
eleven millions of acres being now I'M
proved in this way, and the varied
crop raised from this vast area
amounting to $175, 100000.
Probably no industrialpursuit has
been so much assisted by government
al research during the past ten years
as has agriculture; both state and ma
ton by scientific research and practi-
cal tests havegiven freely to thecause
ofagriculture skilledknowledge which
could have been acquired by the indi-
vidual only after heavy expense and
discouraging delays. Thus it is the
farmers own fault if he is not grow
ing what his soil, climate and market
demand. The time will doubtless
come when the same business skill
will be applied to the growth of agri-
cultural products as is now applied
to their manufacture, and when this
condition continues we may fairly ex-
pect the same generally satisfactory
results.
SHALL WE FIRE THE FIRE MARSHAL?
We publish elsewhere recommended
tons issued by the State Fire Mar
shall under the heading Watch the
Stove Pipes" We are doing this be-
cause truth is truth and valuable as
such, regardless of the source from
whence it issues. We do not pro-
pose thereby to endorse the present
administration of this important
Office, which for sometime past has
been subject to severe criticism be-
cause of its inability to accomplish
the ends for which it was created.
1t will be remembered the members
of the Hartford Mutual Insurance
Company at their annual meeting
two years ago voted that unless the
usefulness of the office were material
ly increased the General Assembly
should be memorialized to abolish
the same, and our information from
insurance people today is that so
perfunctory is the work done by this
department, if done at all, that they
have ceased to solicit its aid. 1t is
very easy to sit in an office and issue
recommendations to propertyholders
about their duties, but it is much
more valuable to the citizens of the
state that when fire has occurred its
true cause shall be if possible dis
covered, and if anything tinged with
criminality has transpired in connec-
ton with the fire that the proper
steps shall promptly be taken to
punish the offender and prevent it's
recurrence.
In this line the office seems to be
either singularly lax or singularly in
efficient.
