Jusee Thomas Favored for Chief Judge

There is an interesting situation III the Fifth
judicial Circuit, composed of Anne Arundel,
Carroll and Howard counties, where an elec.
ton of a chief judge and possibly one of the
associate judges will take place this fall
Judge John G. Rogers, who was appointed
by Governor Warheld to succeed the late
Judge |. Thomas Jones, has stated definitely
that he will not take the nomination to succeed
himself, and it is persistently rumOred that
Judge James Revell, of Anne Arundel county,
will retire shortly, though there is 10 direct
confirmation of the report.
James NJ. Monroe, of Annapolis, ls men
toned for the Democratic nomination for the
chefjudgeship, and would accept it iftendered
him. 1t is rather definitely understood that
Governor Warfeld would offer Mr.. Monroe
the associate judgeship should the occasion
arise during his term of Office by the retire
ment of Judge Revell.
Chances favor the nomination of Judge
William H. Thomas, at present associate JUS
tice of the circuit, for the chief iusticeship.
Judge Thomas is understood to have no oppo
sition in his own county, Carroll, and it is
probable that both Anne Arundel and Howard
would support him in preference to any can
didate from the other county. In fact. it is
very likely that he will receive the vote of
Anne Arundel in any event, as it appears that
either faction, should it win in the coming
primary fight in that county, would prefer not
to name a candidate from the county, pre-
terring to wait

and make the planting for this purpose profit

three years past quite demand for land for
this purpose. more having been taken during
the past year than ever before. In last year 5
report of the Shell Fish Commissioners of
Rhode Island, mention was made of land
being leased as far down as the bay at Plum
Beach below Wexford. This was so far sue
cessful that the same parties applied for, had
granted and leased to them forty six acres in
addition to land already held by them. A
larger number of acres was applied for and
granted in the year 1905 than during any
previous year, and there was a fair prospect
of still larger number of acres being taken
out during 1906. Nearly all of the land re,
Gently granted, and that which is now being
applied for, is in the part of the bay in deep
water which now produces nothing, having to
be cleaned up, in many cases at great expense
to the applicant, in order to be of any value.

The Commencement Season.

This is the season Of the close OF oul

The word commencement" does not
properly apply to any schools except those
conferring degrees. In its original slSnl-
fcance it was meant to indicate the begin
ming, with the individual, OF the Doctorate,
as that of philosophy OF Of any other OF
the degrees.
But the word has now, in the public
estimation, broader meaning, and Is ap-
piled to the closing exercises OF the schools
of all grades, without regard to whether
they confer degrees or not
To college graduates it is most lmpor-
tant period. They 90 from the halls OF
learning to take up the active duties OF
life, and having had the advantages OF
college education the community has
right to expect more from them than from
those who are less highly favored.
There is not a more important period OF
life than that in which the young man OF
woman goes out from college to face the
practical affairs Of life. That which has
been taught them is now to be put to a
practical test, and whatever may be III the

people who have had the advantages oi

There is wide difference between the
chances in life Of those who have had good
school training and those who have not.
1t is true that many self-made men, as
they are called, have made deep impress
upon the times in which they lived, have
accomplished wonderful things in the
various avocations Of life. 1t may be
safely assumed, however, that the same
individual, if properly educated could have
done more, and certainly could have done
the work much more easily to himself. So
that the advantage is always on the side
of the educated man. 1t is the difference
between using sharp and dull tools. The
same mechanic can do more and better
work if his tools are sharp, and can do 1t
with greater satisfaction to himself.
In our country and especially in this
intelligent section Of it, the people are be
coming more and more to value education,
and while it is true that the opportunities
for collegiate education are not within the
reach of the great mass Of our people, our
public school system offers to every child

casualties resulting from storms of wind and
rain which swept over Southern Illinois and
Indiana and Central Kentucky last night and

thousands of dollars. Houses were swept
away, bridges demolished and thousands Of
acres of growing crops destroyed.

Maryland Land Wanted.

Mr.. Herman Badenhoop, former secretary
of the Maryland State Bureau of Immigration,
and later with the North Carolina Immigrant
Bureau, has received notice that Mr.. Gustav
Mielitz of Stettenpomerauie, Germany. is on
his way to Baltimore with view to securing
a landed interest on which to settle with his
family. Mr. Mielitz writes that his father has
ST., 900 which he wishes to invest in Maryland
farm land, and that he will shortly arrive in
this country. The writer says that he will
precede his father with view to becoming
acquainted with the local customs, and that
in order to secure this knowledge he wants to
secure a place with some farmer who will
teach him Maryland methods of farming. He
desires no pay.
Mr. Badenhoop will meet Mr.. Melitz on
his arrival and will probably send him to
Southern Maryland. where large German
colony has been established.

Stole Railroad Train.

BELLINGHAN, WASH, June 1.-THE Great
Northern Seattle Bellingham local train was
last night stolen from the depot, where it was
left for few minutes while the crew went to
lunch, by Barkley McCutcheon, a well known
character of this town. Jumping into the
cab, McCutcheon threw open the throttle and
away the train shot, going north at terrific
speed. The bell was ringing and the whistle
blowing continually.
The train crew rushed for ''speeder' and
followed until it was discovered that the man
at the valve had reversed the train and was
returning south. He had the train under full
speed and the pursuing crew were barely able
10 get off the track in time to avoid being run
down. McCutcheon later stopped the train

We have kissed thy lovely brow.
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no mother now.

Slowly fading from our presence
How our aching hearts despa1red.

Negroes for Foraker.

That President Roosevelt has lost his popu-
larity and prestige with the colored voter
throughout the country appears to be the
opinion of reputable colored men who are in
touch with The political sentiment of their
race. Not even the fact that he once dined
Booker t. Washington at the White House
has been sufficient to abate the resentment
felt by the negroes over the Brownsville affair,
and the facts seem to show that the negroes
are for no Roosevelt candidate.
CITY Councilman Harry S. Cummings, of
the Seventeenth ward, who is one of the most
representative and intelligent negroes of the
city in speaking yesterday of the feeling
among the colored people toward NJ
welt, said (:
so far as |, myself, am concerned, am
an Administration man and an admirer of the
President He is just as high now in my
esteem as he ever was, and think did what
he thought was right in the Brownsville mat
ter.
Il cannot, however, disguise from myself
thai there is the strongest kind of resentment
toward him among the colored people here
because ot his action in that case. They feel
that II did not treat the negro soldiers fairly.
They think he acted hastily and did not at
tempt to get at the true facts in the matter.
For this reason Mr.. Roosevelt has certainly
lost much OF his popularity among the coIored
people and he has nothing like as much
strength with them now as he had two years
ago.
In Maryland my observation is that the
negroes would far rather have Foraker uomi-
| mated than Taft. They think that Foraker
tried to get at the facts in the Brownsville case
and are disposed to look upon Mr. Taft as a
representative OF Mr.. Roosevelt. toward whom
they now harbor feeling of resentment.
Il do not think, however. that this feeling
is strong enough to make the colored people
vote against The Republican candidate for the
Presidency, no matter who heis. The colored
voter will vote the ticket, but it will take a
great dea! Of hustling and good deal of work
to get him in irne for either Mr.. Roosevelt or
the man Mr. Roosevelt selects"
