together and digest plans along the
lines suggested, and would then by
circular letters which would be
printed free of charge, by house-to-
house visitations, by public meetings
to be addressed by specialists who
could be readily secured, by confer
ence and cooperation with the town
council, by talks in our schools and
by the many devices which they can
invent faster than we could record
them, educate the public mind, they
would soon be instrumental in Gre
ating a local pride which would
make this town one of the most at

cause such a committee would have

ent that today we know ofno one

STATE POLITICS.

The question of determining when
the State convention shall be held for
the nomination of the state ticket
came up before the State Central
Committee which met in Baltimore
on Thursday, but up to the time we
go to press no final action has been
taken. 1t seems almost certain
however that August I or s, will be
the date fixed upon. This will be
neither an early date as suggested
by Ex-Governor Brown nor a late
one as urged by Governor Warheld.
Each of these gentlemen's opinion
should receive the consideration his
high standing warrants, and the
date above indicated, which seems
to suit county members best, is a
reasonable concession to each.
Governor Warfeld's positive decla-
ration that he is not and will not be
a candidate for any office, thus re-
moving him from the list of possible
aspirants for the governorship, and
Attorney General Bryan's construc.
ton that the primary election law,
heretofore believed to refer to Balti'
more city only, really refers to all the
state except those counties having a
primary election law of their own
were some of the topics for general
discussion. 1t is likely that state
campaign will now be formally
opened and aggressively pushed til
nominations are made.

TRY 1T, LADIES.

Municipal government has long
been one of the most trying topics an
intelligent people have to cope with,
aud as population is becoming more
and more urban the subject is grow
ing more and more intensely practi-
cal. And here we may note that the
smaller the municipality the more
difficult the task, since there is so
much to do and so little money to do
l. with.
Applying the above truths to our
own town, we suggest that the ladies
help our city council in its work OF
town government. If the men will
give us water, lights, fair streets and
sidewalks, modest fire department
and reasonable police protection,
they will have done their share, but
these are not all of the essentials to
an attractive town. There is moth
ing so impresses the visitor a, its
generalappearance of neatness, order
and general ornamentation. Is the
street full of paper and other litter
Has the street bed been cleaned oil
grass and the gutter put in hygienic
condition Have lawns and hedges
been clipped and the former set with
flowers? How about painting? Is
any attention given to the behavior
of children on the streets, or do they
mark fences with chalk, act in rough
and boisterous manner on the main
street and makeit disagreeable if not
dangerous to ordinary travellers?
These are only a very few of the
many public and semi-public matters
which make life worth living, or
worse than nightmare to the ordi-
narily thrifty citizen; and as they
have universal bearing on the COM
fort of all, they deserve the careful
consideration of all. 1t is no unrea-
sonable hardship on boys to require
that they should seek appropriate
places in which to play ball instead
of monopolizing the bed of the street.
1t is only fair to the community at
large that at certain times portions
of streets should not be so blocked
with noisy loiterers that it is unsafe
for ladies to pass along, and so we
might enumerate at length.
You ask the remedy? We suggest
that the public-spirited ladies of the
community make a concerted and
continuous effort to establish and
maintain a healthy standard of
municipal citizenship. 1t is entirely
within their power to create public
desire and develop a public taste for
town improvement which ladies so
readily recognize and so tactfully
instill.
We assert confidently that if a
dozen of our ladies-and we could
easily name many who are highly
equipped for the task-would meet

lines where the President has at
tempted to walk with the Gods he
has shown human rather than a
divine nature; and is it not pretty
plain that the more terms he holds
his high office the more human and
commonplace will be its level?

CONSISTENCY, THOU ART A JEWEL.

CONSISTENCY, THOU ART A JEWEL.
Probably no man within a genera
ton has laid down so many broad
platitudes for the guidance of his fell
low men, or done so in a more un-
compromising manner than has
President Roosevelt. This statement
applies with especial force to his ut
terances on the general subject of
civil service reform, looking to con-
tinuing in office worthy public ser
wants.
The public is beginning to see, how
ever, that the President considers Of
fceholders all right when with him
and all wrong when against him.
A few forceful illustrations have re-
Gently occurred. Ever since Exon
gresham Wadsworth, of Western
New York, attempted in every way
to defeat or emasulate the Pure
Food Bill, the President has been vio-
lently, and we think properly, opposed
to him. But while we believe that
the country was the gamer by Wads-
worth's defeat last November, we are
at loss to see how Mr.. Roosevelt
could consistently remove summarily
from office Collector Sanders, of
Rochester, who was confessedly a
most efficient officer, because the lat
ter happened to be friendly to Con-
gresham Wadsworth. Thelatter, a
Republican of Republicans says, "The
whole thing stamps the President as
unreliable, a fakir and a humbug.
For years he has INDUCED in lofty
sentiments and violates them all for
the sake of satisfying petty spite.
Thank God he can't fool all tue peo-
pie all the time, and the country is
fast awakening to the real character
of this bloody hero of Kettle HILL"
This episode is followed by SINH
lar one in Ohio, where a collector of
internal revenue went down and out
because he was a Foraker instead of
a Taft man.
A third instance comes from the
same state: An attorney of marked
learning and ability having been
warmly endorsed for the Federal
bench, it took little time to show
that he was disqualified for appoint
ment because he is friendly to the
Foraker faction of the Republican
party.
Such action may be good factional
politics, but should not originate
with one out of whose mouth come
so often. oracular deliverances of
mans duty to man, and mans duty
to the state.
We admire an aggressive man; we
admire the Presidents ability to
wound and worst his enemy in bat
tie, but we are not so fond of seeing
a victor that we are willing to see
him the real victim of his own biased
ambition. Wedon't mind seeing the
President once in a while prove his
adversary to be falsifer, but when
it happens as often as in Mr.. Roose-
velt's case during the past year, we
are compelled to at least conclude he
does not always keep such good
company as becomes the President
of this great nation.
In short, is not the evidence bccom-
ing pretty conclusive that in many
