Question of Union.
Why should not the district and the
university unite in the maintenance
of a first-class f%our-year high school,
the district furnishing the building
and paying part of the cost of instruc.
ton and the university doing the re-
mainder? In this way a better school
could be maintained than by either
alone, and at less cost to each. Such
a plan has been in successful opera
ton in Colorado for many years.
Something similar exists in Utah.
But can we afford this extension of
our school facilities? The following

twelve towns of the state in which a
four-year high school is being at
tempted are interesting and sug-
gestive:

THE BRYAN-WARFIELD BOOM.
Cardinal Gibbons Boost For Governor For
The Vice Presidency.

Cardinal Gibbons boom for Cover
nor Warlield for the vice presidency as
the running mate of William Jennings
Bryan, according to the Baltimore
American, is received with much in
terest.
Colonel Bryan is SO much Interested
in the Warfield boom that when, late
this month, he visits the Jamestown
Exposition, he will come To Annapolis
to be the guest of Maryland's Cover
nor. Most of Bryan's New York
friends believe that he prefers TO have
Governor Warfield on the ticket with
him over every other Democrat in tho
nation.
1t is said that the best man TO be put
in second place on the Bryan ticket to
be nominated next year is Governor
Warfield, of Maryland, and he he said
today that matters political were shap-
ing themselves gracefully aud gently
toward Warfield.
Mr.. Bryan is thoroughly convinced
that Roosevelt is sincere in his deter
mination not to run. He believes that
Taft will be nominated and that the
chief point of attack upon him will be
upon his labor decisions. Cardinal
Gibbons iseverywhere recognized as a
true friend of the working people.
Hence, his boost of Governor Warfield
by the head of, the Catholic Church is
of the very greatest significance.

AUSTRIAN SAY FAREWELL.
Governor WsrfieId Visits The Fleet Officers
Keep Open House.

The second and last day of the visit
of the Austrian cruisers Sankt Georg
and Aspearn TO these waters was
maTred by the downpour of rain, but
there were several interesting events
of more or less formal nature.
Contrary To expectation, Governor
Warfield and Admiral Pleskott, of the
visiting fleet. had an opportunity of
meeting. the latter calling ON the
Governor shortly after . o'clock this
morning. Admiral Plaskott was ac-
companied by his chief of staff, ker-
vettenkapitan Franz Ritter Won kell,
and Commander w. W. Phelps, II.
$. ". who accompanied the ships
from Hampton Roads. The party
spent about half an hour with the
Governor at the Government House.
Later i'm the morning party con
sisting of the family and officials
representing both Governor Wartleld
and Superintendent Sands visited the
Sankt Georg, the flagship of the fleet,
and were cordially entertained by
Admiral Pleskott and his officers.
In this party were Col. T.. l.. Wood
side, of the Governors staff; Miss
Carrie Warfield Lieut.. Arthur Mae
Arthur, Jr.. aid To the supeTinten-
dent; Miss Marian Sands, Miss keat-
ing. of Philadelphia, who is visiting
the family of Admiral Sands, and
Mr.. w. NJ. Sands. The party made
the trip TO the ship IN the superin-
tendent's S launch.
During the whole day the officers
attached to the Naval Academy kept
open house at the Officers Club and
number of the Austrian officers
found time to call. The work of pre-
pairing the ship for leaving, together
with the inelement weather, prevent
ed the number from being large. The
Sankt Georg and the Aspern sail at
midnighht tonight for New York,
where they will remain for two weeks
and will then join the Mediterranean
fleet of the Austrian navy.

ASHAMED OF HIS NAME !?
Let The Local Base Ball Team Speak For
Itself IN The Matter.

A rather insolent, impeTtinent letter
signed "a Spectator Of the Game was
received at this Office today, and as
the writer is ashamed OF his name, the
billet d0uX has been consigned 10 the
VAST basket. No wonder he is
ashamed TO subscribe his name to such
an enusion.
The article about the Seyerns copied
as stated therein) from the News,
was published with the hope that
some one or more Of the home team
might see it and refute the allega-
tions. The Capital would gladly pub
iish any communication from the
Sevren' S captain or team refuting Mr..
+. j. SeKton's statements if the name
OF the writer be signed to the article.
More than this, This paper would
mark 4 copy and send il both to the
News and to AIr. Sexton, but no paper
recognizes anonymous communica
tions.
As stated herein the complaint of
Mr.. Sexton was reprinted simply that
the Severns, known TO be a clean base
ball team, could come forward and put
themselves right with the public.
This paper publises no personalities
nor does il rush into print, but it
does require and demand signatures to
communications for public print. This
paper knows nothing against the local
team referred TO by Mr.. Sexton, but,
To the contrary, it knows the homo
team to be a good, honest team that
puts no clean games. Let the Severn
team, therefore, speak for itself, and
not the Spectator" who disclaims
membership, and withbolds his name.

Editor Evening Capital.
Dear Sir:--I, the manager of the Sew
ern Base Bali Club, would like 10 cor
rect Mr.. +. j. Sexton's statement
which was published in your valuable
paper. We, the Severns, have never
asked any, team to catch an early train
out of Baltimore, for we are all work
ing boys and cannot start a game
until 4.30 p. IN. We have always
had the credit for a number one repu-
tation and that can be proved by NJ an
ayers of teams we have played here
last season, such teams as Belair,
Homestead, Lauraville,C. c. and other
leading teams of the.State, and also
wish 10 state we have these teams
booked for this season.
Furthermore, / wish to state that
we are not in the habit of paying ex-
penses for teams 10 come here on a
pleasure trip and only play three in
nings, as the Curtis Bay team did last
Saturday. The public won't stand for
such games. i asked the manager
of the Curtis Bay team TO play five
innings and the only reply ] got was
he called his men off the field.
Now Mr.. Sexton has made an offer
to play us for $50. am willing to
accept this offer and also pay our
own expenses providing he can get
Oriole Park and put the same team
in the field as he had when they
played .here last Saturday, but we
want a nine-inning game, not a three
inning affair, as they put up last Sat
urday.
1 will gladly post the $50 with the
Baltimore News any time they select.
Now let them come up or shut up.

A Successful Dance.

Although the strong wind of last
evening prevented some of the more
timid ones from crossing the Spa, there
was a good attendance, and liberal
patronage at the opening ball of the
season at Boucher's pavilion on Spa

was successful, and the success is
due largely to the efforts of the exc c.

details and to whose work much credit
is due. This committee consi sted of
Mr. Merrill Stone, chairman, Miss
Cecilia Fieseler and Miss Elizabeth

The dance was given under the
