The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1907-10-26

IN THE ddTdeu A1gdza1te IOr OctODer writer
advances the opinion that the rapid spread Of
of the San Jose scale and other tree enemies
will bring about the adoption Of dwarf varie-
ties for the production Of fruits, especially by
the amateur fruitgrower. The reasons he
gives for this are the greater ease with which
small trees may be treated with sprays forpro-
lection from enemies that feed upon the foliage
and bark and the possibility Of raising these
trees in small yards, the earliness with which
they come into bearing and the scantiness Of
their shade, thus leaving the ground available
for small fruits and vegetables.
In AN interview in Baltimore few days ago
Mr.. Asa B. Gardiner, Jr., head Of the Gardiner
Dairy, said: 1.-THE milk situation is simply
this, that either the city dairyman has got to
pay the farmer an advance in price, or the
farmer, or at least many Of them, will sell their
COWS, which are in good demand in Pennsyl-
vania and New York. To give the farmers the
advance will mean that the city dairyman will
have to raise his prices to consumers about one
cent a quart. Should the requests of the
farmers not be complied with they will 60 out Of
the milk business and prices will go soaring"
A FRIEND speaking few days ago to Gov
ernor Warfield about his Senatorial chances
said "If you get a fair count you might
win,' to which the Governor replied: II
think-and intend to say it from the stump
next week-that q Democrat who will cheat
another Democrat in primary election is the
most detestable and the most contemplate
creature that lives.'' Evidently the Governor
is not very well posted on the average Demo
cratic primary in Maryland. Unless we are
very much mistaken what they will do to him
on the 9th of November will be "a plenty"
MUcH DISCUSSION has been caused by the re-
port of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany for the last fiscal year, showing a deficit
of over 1885,, 900, while during the same period
the company paid damage claims for accidents
to the amount of s1.217, $3.50. or per cent Of
the gross receipts. This does not include the
cost of the legal staff in defending suits. Com
menting on these figures Golfers Weekly says
that when traction companies throughout
the country are compelled to choose between
killings and dividends, they will find ways to
prevent the Killings"
In HIS letter to the Democratic ass-meeting
at Marlboro Mr.. William L. Marbury, the well
known Baltimore lawyer, said However
strong may be a mans political convictions;
however earnest a Democrat or Republican he
may be when be ascends the bench and sits
in judgment upon the lives and fortunes of
his fellow man, he should leave his politics
behind him. He should not know the differ
ence between Republican and Democrat.
He should be absolutely independent and
impartial"
CITIZENS, REMEMBER THAT it was Demo
cratic Legislature that passed our present in
famous election lava law that has deprived
thousands of unfortunate citizens-white and
black-of their right to vote. The only way
to get rid of this outrage upon the people is to
vote the Republican Ticket on the 9th of
November.
In ITS annual report on the statistics of cities
having population of over &c, 900, the Census
Bureau presents very interesting table show
ing the costs of maintaining free public schools,
including in such costs the interest on invest
ments in school buildings and grounds. These
vary from cents per capita in Charles
ton, s. c., and % cents in Atlanta, Ca, to
s133 in Denver, Colo. to s1.43 in Newton,
Mass, and s1.5S in Spokane, Washington.
In OHro which led off in the cents.a-mile
rate for passengers, the receipts from this
source for the year ending June Both last
showed an increase of 81, 1885,, 2S2. from which
must be deducted decrease of SIS. GAS reported
by ten small roads off the main line of travel.
AS whole. there is nothing confiscatory or
discouraging to the railroads in these figures.
CHIEF JUICE JAMES McSHERRy. of the Mary
land Court of Appeals, who had been in fail
ing health for some months died at bis home
in Frederick, on Wednesday morning last He
was one of the most popular men in public
life in Maryland, an able judge and in all res
poets a model citizen. His death at the age
of sixty-tive years is universally lamented.
THE HOUSE OF BIeHoPs of the general con-
vention of the Episcopal Church at Richmond,
Va, voted down the resolution offered by
Bishop Doane, of Albany, which was designed
to commit the church to the rule of denying
marriage to any divorced person having hus-
band or wife living.
Alta Louisville meeting in behalf of the Re-
publican ticket three of the speakers were Con-
federate soldiers and one the son of Confed-
crate member of Congress. The present cam
paign in Kentucky is remarkable for the break
ing up of old Democratic lines.
THERE Is no jarring in the Republican ranks
in Baltimore county this year. The party
presents solid front to its opponents and it
ought to win. Do your duty on the 9Th of
November and you will be proud of the result.
FAIR ELECTIONS is the leading issue in Mary
land this year. If you want to be sure of
securing such a desirable result go to the polls
on the 9TH of November and vote the ticket
headed by George R. Gather.
WHEAT is 30 cents bushel higher than it
was a year ago and grain generally has adj
vanced. The tiller of the soil is getting his
share and can dismiss the old question: docs

THOSE WHO say that pure food laws have in
