IN A DILEMMA,

IN A DILEMMA.
 New England, according to The Hartford Times, has a somewhat pe- culiar race question to contend with just at this time, and it seems to be one that is likely to cause both em- barrassment and trouble in future. It seems that there Is a great lack of fe- male labor in many of the mills of that region. Heretofore women and girls from the French population of Quebec have been largely employed, and they have also obtained many fe- male workers from Ireland. but the supply from these sources is no longer equal to the need, and in con- sequence there are idle looms in al- most every mill. Some of the Massa- chusetts mills have of late employed many foreigners, mostly Poles, and thence comes trouble thus explained by The Times:
 An interesting instance of the man. ner in which race feeling complicates the situation in the mill towns has just occurred in West Warren. Mass. There tine Polish-speaking weavers In two of the Thorndike mills have gone
  ployed two SyTians to run looms that We're idle. Two hundred weavers ceased work on Monday and would have attacked the Syrians if the mill man. aSers had not prevented. The strikers held meeting and resolved to picket the mills in order to prevent other their places and to use force. if neces- sary, to accomplish their purpose. They went further and formulated a de- mand for the dismissal of the superin- Df a n nf Nf hI assistants, Dennis O'Leary by name.
 Here the mill owners not only have to deal with labor scarcity, but this is complicated by the injection of the union labor question. Whether these striking Poles belong to the regular labor organizations of that section or whether they have a labor union of their own is immaterial: the fact re- mains that they have adopted the in- tolerance and lawlessness which usu- ally prevails when a strike is entered into. Not content with quitting work. they propose to use force, if necessary, to prevent the owners of the mills from employing men to run the looms which were idle.
 Il Will be noted that lHeTe was neTe no question of hours of labor or of wages nor is it understood that there was dissatisfaction with their treat ment. The whole ground of complaint was that the owners had seen proper to employ men--not to take the places of Poles-but to run the looms that were idle. and that these new weavers were Syrians. The superintendent of the mills in question states that he had talked with the men and that many of them admitted that they did not de- sire to quit work but they all did quit, either through fear or out of racial sympathy. The Times. quot ing the circumstances, and the state ments of the superintendent, says.
 Hence there is presented a question of race prejudice. and nothing else With no question of wages involved, and with no discrimination on the part of the managers alleged, it would

A DANGEROTs PRACTICE.

short letter signed Citizen" in The Advertiser yesterday morning calls attention to a matter that the managers of the Montgomery Traction Company would do we'll to consider seriously. We have heretofore printed an account of a case In New York. where the courts held that a street railway company is responsible for injury sustained by q passenger because of the starting of a car before the passenger has time to get seated. The decision was a just one because all public carriers are re- sponsible for damages where a passen- ger is injured through any fault of an employe.
 The Traction Company here has had much to contend with of late, and has encountered many difficulties which were not the fault of the management We should regret to see the company subjected to expensive damage suits after the trouble 1t has had and .s having in it's efforts to give the people such suits are sure to come unless the employes-or some of them-are more careful. The cases cited by Citizen" are not isolated ones, by any means, although the results are not always so dangerous. In short, all of us who ride on the cars know that it is common occurrence for car to start before a passenger has time to get on. much less to get seat, and the same thing happens when persons are try ing to get off. This thing of starting the car suddenly and jerking passen- gers about is neither pleasant nor sate. and while 1t is true that the conduo- tors and motormen are to blame, and that they are the ones who should be punished. it is the company that will suffer if damage suits result. Cannot the management in some way put a stop to the dangerous practice?

SATURDAY, APRIL Is, 1907.
THESE MEN SHOULD BE CAUGHT
 AND PUNISHED.

For their own good, The Advertiser takes occasion to warn the disorderly and criminally inclined persons wno have been shooting up the street cars, that they had better stop such prac- tices. and the sooner the better. It matters not whether these law break CTS are strikers or their sympathizers. or whether they are men in no way connected with the strike; they are playing a dangerous and lawless game, and one which cannot be allowed 70 continue. Such conduct cannot lgo on continuously without detection, and then some man will find himself behind prison bars. or in the dock, if he does not meet a worse fate. The good name of Montgomery must not be smirched by the evil deeds of the lawless. and they will do we'll to be warned In time of what is sure to befall them if they keep 1t up. We are advising them for their own good, as well as in the name of law and order.

WOLVES AND FOXES.

Reason for the Prevalence of the For
 mer on the Plains.
 Kansas City star.
 Some Lamaf fox hunters were dis cusslng the prevalence of wolves and the decrease in the number of foxes thereabouts This they explained cas-
 In the first place the wolf is strong CT, hardy and great breeder. A wolf will begin to rear puppies when she is a year old, and there 9re from nine puppy in the litter lives to be a full grown wolf. Thus the coyote, as well as his larger and more powerful gray or black brethren, multiplies very rap
 Then the wolf is not chased with the zest and eagerness with which the sportsmen go after Sir Reynard. The ordinary fox dog won't go against A wolf when he is at bay and, fur chasing wolves can't tell the trail of their quarry from that of a shepherd dog. The result is that every farmer soon gets sore on bunch of hounds that are trained to hunt wolves. They are always cornering an innocent farm dog and putting him to death, think ing that they have run on to an easily Vanquished wolf, ,

The Ears of Criminals.


 Before the annual Congress of Ger man Anthropologists, which is now meeting at Gorlitz, Professor Blau, a well known authority on diseases of the ear, read an interesting paper on the formation of the ears of criminals and lunatics. Professor Blau has taken accurate measurements of 1,061 ears. Of these 225 are the ears of lunaticS and %l3 those of male crimi- nals The examination, however, was confined To m"n of one race and one country
 The professor comes to the conclu- sion that in the vast majority. of cases the various pants of the auricle, or externa! ear are larger in the case of criminals and lunatics than in the ease of normal persons This is es- pecially noticeable in the helix. or in curved outer border of the ear, and also in the lobe. According to Pro lessor Biau. the larger the helix is the lower the state of mental development. The. hearing faculty, on the other hand, Is keener, and Professor Blau illus trates his theory by reference to the aurieles of hts extended ouIer border. Professor Blau added the curious re. mark that an abnormal development, of the outer border was more noticeable among criminals charged with sexual crimlnala

seem as if the strikers in this case have no good ground for their action, and should be forced to abandon their opposition to the efforts of the mill owners to keep their machinery in operation, But the incident serves to accentuate the difficulties with which the attempt to run the textile mills of New England is noV sur rounded. The lack of an adequate supply of skilled and competent labor is the greatest obstacle to the indus trial growth of this section of the country at the present time.
 This is race prejudice. pure and sim pie, and 1t appears to be about as acute as any we ever have down South. It Is also another example of the length to which the unions will carry men who belong to them. Between the two causes some of the New England mills are experiencing much difficulty in get ting work done, and we do not see any way out of 1t except by reducing the number of looms. That is not a pleas ant alternative. but appears to be the only one.

Farmers Institute.

One of the largest gatherings Of farmers
ever seen in this county at a Farmers In
stitute was at Boyd's last Saturday, when
the Institute, under the direction of the
Maryland Agricultural College, held its sec.
ond annual meeting at that place. Last year,
through the efforts Of Mr.. Frank @. Hutton,
of Choppers, and Il. q. Colt, of Boyd's, q
meeting was made possible there which was
a decided success, and the Institute, as a re.
suit, decided to hold a meeting at Boyd's
each year.
The appointment of Mr.. b. q. Colt as
correspondent for the meeting proved a
lucky selection. His arrangements on Sat-
urday were carried out TO the letter, and the
farmers who drove from Poolesvile Barnes
vile, Dickerson, Jacksonville, Buck Lodge,
Seneca, Jamestown. Germantown, Clarks.
burg, Hyattstown, Damascus, Laytonsviile
and Rockville, or went by train from Ken
sington, Gaithersburg, Washington Grove
and other places, were not at all disappoint-
ed by the reception given them by the people
OF BoYd's. The ladies, through the efforts
OF Messrs. Colt, Darby, Lewis, j. e. Will
lams, Maughlin and others, provided for
the gathering fine luncheon. The ladies
in charge were Mrs. b. f. Hicks, Mrs. b.
II. Dutrow, Misses Georgianna Lewis, Flor
ence May Williams and Mrs. Sara Boyd.
Nearly 300 farmers and dairymen were
present. Mr.. VIM. l.. Amoss, director Of
the Farmers institute, who was TO have been
present, was kept away by illness.
Mr. j. T. Campbell, of Hartstown, Pa,
opened the meeting with an address on "Po-
tato Culture" Professor Shoesmith, Of the
Maryland Agricultural College, talked about
alfalfa, which has been tried by Mr.. d. Rine-
hart, In charge Of the farm Of Mrs. Sara 4.
Boyd, who had a most successful crop last
season. Followi ng this address the meet
ing was adjourned for luncheon.
In the afternoon Mr.. Campbell made an
interesting address upon Poultry and Its
Commercial Value" Market gardening and
the management Of orchards were also dis
cussed. X. l.. Watts, of Pa, closed the
meeting with lecture on food plants, which
was one Of the most interesting Of the day q.
Among the farmers at the recess meetings
the subject Of labor was burning question .
The general report was that good labor, so
much needed at this time, is exceedingly
scarce. The railroad improvements in and
about this county have been responsible for
much of this scarcity. The effect Of get
ting foreigners to settle here was discussed
and the hope was general that means OF
solving this problem will be found.
The relation Of rural free delivery TO the
farmers was discussed, some being loud in
their praises and some equally loud in their
denunciation Of the system.
] Many ladies were present at the meeting.
