Many flaws in the pure food law,
which went into effect on Jan. I, are
being pointed ont by legal experts. For
instance, the law provides that whatever
is sold as food or drink must be labeled
for just what it is, but the law fails to
indicate what size type shall be used. It
is also defective relative to short-weight
cans and jars and short-measure bottles.
In consequence, the cans and jars and
bottles are of the same old size and the
parts of the labels in which the various
ingredients are described are printed in
type barely distinguishable tothe naked
eye. A can of alleged French peas is
labeled 'colored with sulphate of copper"
The information, in small type, is printed
in copper. colored letters on coppet-
colored leaf on the cover of the can.

The Philadelphia Ledger has come
dangerously near the mark in stating
that the Maryland democratic politicians
in looking over the field for gubernatorial
material have come to the conclusion that
Governor War6eld will not do for another
term, because The has been independen Mt
and honest, and has put the right usually
above party considerations" This sort
of thing isn't relished by the bosses, but
it has made the Governor popular with
the people and deserving of another
term, but with democratic managers OF
the German school in control of the
party any aspirant with such liberal
opinions is apt to go by the board, as
these bosses want man they can run. +"
The candidates being considered by the
old line bosses as suitable to them. and
therefore qualified for the nomination,
are Ex-Governor Jackson, former Comp
troller Herring. President of the Senate
Seth, and others, but with the popular
primary system in effect throughout the
State, whereby the choice could be made
BIZ direct vote, it is safe bet no selection
of the bosses would be the nominee.

The rapid growth of the rural free de-
livery mail service is shown by the recent
report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General DeGraw. In 1897, when the
service was inaugurated there we're SO
carriers and the expenditures were
$I4.8So. In 1906 the number of carriers
had grown to 1856, and the expendi-
lures for the service reached $24,7S5, 256.
There were 1856 routes in operation at
the close of the fiscal year 1906. Of these
233 have tri-weekly service, while nearly
all the others have daily service.
The Fourth Assistant Post Master Gen.
eral recommends that the maximum
salary of carriers be increased to 5000 per
annum in addition to half the cost of
maintaining horses. He also suggests
that Congress fix rate of postage of three
cents per pound or any fractional part
thereof on books and merchandise not
exceeding five pounds in weight to be
handled on rural free delivery routes.

social jig and for the sake of their posi-
tons or their prospects are obliged to go
through it all with smiling couutenance
and a reckless disregard for their diges-
tons. The family Of Vice President Fair
banks is one ofthe hardest worked in the
city. Mrs. Fairbanks is more ambitious
to be the first lady in the land than the
Vice Presiuent is to be Chief Executive,
if there can be greater ambition, and con-
sequently the Fairbanks home here is the
scene of more entertaining than probably
any Other one in the Capital. This year
Mrs. Fairbanks is working with the
handicap of badly impaired health fol
lowing an attack of grip, but the enter
tainments go on just the same whether
she can drag herself out Of bed to preside
over them or whether her place is taken
by her daughter, the wife of a Naval
Lieutenant. The great establishment
they keep here is probably regarded in
the light of an investment for future
returns for it is scarcely possible that one
would keep it up for pleasure. The house
which they rent is principally one huge
room where mob of people is always
eating and drinking at the Vice Presi-
dents expense, and what little room is
left resolves itself into high class board
ing house for servants. Mrs. Fairbanks
confesses that she doesn't know how
many servants there are in the lower
regions from which issue the food, aud
the housekeeper and steward who pre-.
side over their different departments have
carte blanche to spend, just so they will
not add any more to her perplexities and
fatigue. IF she attains the Executive
Mansion there will be none to say she
has not earned her place.

The farmers clubs of Montgomery
county have sent a letter to Governor
Warfeld asking him to direct the State
Bureau of Immigration to import Euro
pean laborers to be used on Maryland
farms. The letter cites the great scarcity
of satisfactory farm help, which is so well
known to ali our farmers, and which is
becoming more serious year by year,
and urges that the State Bureau of I'm.
migration import European laborers in
reasonable numbers to meet the great
demand that exists throughout Maryland.
The action of the State Government of
South Carolina is referred to, that State
having imported large number of
desirable Europeans, to its great benefit
1t is also pointed out that Secretary of
Commerce and Labor Straus ia his recent
opinion decided that the importation of
aliens in the manner followed by South
Carolina is not violation of the immi-
grafton laws Of the United States.
The letter has been referred to Super
intendent Turpin Of the bureau, who will
take the matter up. and it is hoped carry
out the recommendations as speedily as
possible, as the labor question on the
farm has become a serious problem aud
Que which endangers the prosperity not
alone of our farmers, but the entire State,
as tits upon them that all else depends.

Following the baccalaureate sermon
of Sunday night by Rev. E. F. Garner
the closing exercises of Chesapeake
Academy, Irvington, were held Monday
night in the opera house. The capacity
5000 of the house was taxed to its
utmost and those coming late who
could not procure seats, but only stand
ing room in the rear and out in the YES
tibule, unintentionally added to the
racket which bad boys, as usual, kept
up inside. But little over half the pu-
pills could occupy the stage. the male
ones standing in the aisles having sur
rendered their chairs to the audience.
The program was interesting, the
participants deporting themselves with
credit. The feature of the program
was the valedictory by Miss Ola Hum
phreys, splendid paper read admira-
bly,. The drill by the primary class
was beautifully executed and loudly
