Mr.. GREEN STATES HIS POSITION.
Gives Some Facts Regarding Two
Measures In The Legislation.

70 the Editor of The Republican:
There seems to be misunderstood
ing in regard to two bills introduced in
the House by me. This misunder-
standing is due to misrepresentation by
newspaper reporters, and l take this
method of conveying to the people Of
Garrett county through the columns of
your paper a correct idea of the nature
of these bills.
The first bill was simply measure
that has been carefully prepared defin-
ing the boundary lines of the Fourteenth
Election District of Garrett county, as
they now exist and positively mentions
nothing in regard to a new survey,
which everybody knows could not be
done without incuring great expense to
the county There is not one cent of
costs connected with this bill, as every
body will see when the bill is read. l
am opposed to all unnecessary expendi-
ture of the peoples money and am
strict adherent of economy
The second bill was still more absurd
ly misrepresented. The reporter gave
this as local option bill for Garrett
county, whereas it simply amends the
law applying to persons recommending
applicants for liquor license, "a measure
which ncurs no expense whatever, but
on the other hand, it has the hearty
support of all our people, who under
stand its purpose and feel sure that it
will have almost unanimous support
when not misrepresented.
If newspaper correspondents and re-
porterS cannot give the people correct
reports, they had better remain
mum
AS the representative of the people
| shall not be party to anything rigid
or drastic, but am at their service and
will be glad to receive any suggestions
that our people have to make, and shall
be careful in all matters, striving to
give every man a square deal.

PRESIDENT SETH's CHARGES.

President Seth of the Maryland
Senate created a sensation by making 2
bitter attack upon ex-governor War
field in hot speech delivered in the
Senate chamber Tuesday afternoon in
which he charged Mr. Warfeld with
official corruption, using insulting and
contemptuous language of the most Of
fensive kind. General Seth charged
that an ante-election deal was made
with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
in 1908, when Mr.. Warfield ran against
Mr.. Williams, by which that corpora
ton put big campaign fund in return
for which he was to use his influence to
sell the States interest in the Wash
ingtOn Branch for $21O share. The
State got 1857 share after an investi-
cation by the Legislature of 1906.
Other charges included deal with
certain banking interests and to sell the
c. & 0. canal at low rate. This row
within the good old party is the result
of the Ex-Governor crititism of the
Legislature for spending for expenses,
at the last session, nearly 5000, 900. A
bill was pending appropriating the same
amount for this session and the Repub-
hcans under Mr.. Bakers lead were try
ing to cut it down to $3.50, 900 and the
matter was finally compromised on
$40, 900 which is saying of $50, 600
directly due to the agitation on the sub
Ject and the fight made by the Republi-
cans. 1t was well known at the time
that the Baltimore and Ohio got behind
Warfield at the close of the campaign
and while it is probably true that no
specific deal was made, the acceptance
of corporation contributions carries
with it the obligation to favor them.
The Seth charges in general do not
carry much weight because of the
coarse and insulting references to the
Ex-Governor. The poorer the case the
more vehement the advocate speaks.
Governor Warfeld is a Democrat and
no doubt has done many things for
which he may properly be censured but
he is man of high character and sterl-
ing integrity and any man simply makes
himself ridiculous by hurting at him
coarse invective

JONES TO BRYAN: Get OUT!~
Bryan to Jones: "a Will No;"-The
Men Part Stiffly.

Ex-senator James X. Jones, former
chairman Of the Democratic National
Committee, and at one time an enthu-
siastic supporter of William J. Bryan.
called on Mr.. Bryan in his rooms at the
Willard Hotel in Washington Saturday
morning as spokesman for coterie of
anti-Bryan Democrats. He frankly
and brusquely told Mr.. Bryan that he
should withdraw from the race for the
nomination.
Mr.. organs answer was an unquali-
fled refusal to take any such action.
The men parted stiffly, and Jones re
ported that Mr.. Bryan could not be in
duced to change his attitude, that his
nomination was practically assured,
and that other methods than appeals to
the candidate himself would have to be
take to prevent his nomination.
Senator Jones, it is understood, acted
as spokesman for William F. Sheehan,
representing the Ryan-Belmont inter
ests; Ex-senator George Gray, of Della
ware; Ex-senator James Smith. Jr.. of
New Jersey; George B. Mcclellan Har-
vey, representing a cliqueof Wall-Street
interests; Perry Belmont and others.
MIR. Bryan was seen before Ex-senator
Jones called on him. Asked what he
should do in the event of such an appeal.
he said:
IF any man asks me on behalf of the
Democratic party to withdraw from the
race as candidate, shall ask that man
to show me his credentials to speak for
the party"
1t became known that when Mr..
Bryan speaks in New York on February
A he will denounce some of the pluto
cratic interests in the party. 1t is re-
ported that Ex-Judge Morgan ].

Bryan is to nominate him again and let

any guarantee that he will accept the
result as final? He shows the blind

GEN kElFER's VAIN REGRET.
Those Who Knew Him Best Declare
1t Was Uncalled For.

Gen. Keifer of Ohio is the wonder
the everlasting human wonder-of his
colleagues in the house, says the
Washington Star. The general, as
most everybody knows-they certainly
should, anyhow, for it has been pub
llshed often enough-was speaker Of
the house of representatives twenty.
odd years ago, and those who knew
him in those days, when they heard he
was coming to Washington again,
after his election to the Fifty-ninth
congress, expected to see a sedate old
fossil, decorated with whiskers and
antiquated notions, totter into the
chamber and fall into the nearest
seat.
Without going into the narrowing
details, they got something of
shock. The general is as young as
the best of 'em, and as husky and tire
less as buckle mate on a South seas
pearl poacher. His day begins at
seven in the morning, and he goes to
bed after everybody else-young, mid.
dle-aged or old-has fallen to sleep,
and there's nobody left to talk to.
Then, reluctantly, he can sometimes
be induced to seek the "downy," where
he usually tears off about 1000 kilo.

SUCH A little incident which &C.
Cured on the floor the other day best
illustrates his attitude toward life:
On this particular morning the gen
eral appeared profoundly sad, which
in him is something of phenomenon.
His mouth turned down at the cor.
ners; the starched shirt bosom, framed
in his full-dress morning vest, cracked
grouchily; his head hung in his
hands most Of the time, and every now
and then he logged out his handker-
chief and swabbed away a pale gray
tear. Finally the gloom that he radi.
ated got on the nerves of Jim Taw-
ney of Minnesota, chairman of the
appropriations committee, of which the
general is q member, and approach
ing Mr.. Keifer at funeral gait, Mr..
Tawney laid his hand on the suf-
ferer's shoulder and spoke most SYM
pathetically.
What in the world is the matter,
general?" he asked. "Have you heard
bad news? Is any member of your
family dead? Can do anything?"
NO." replied Gen. Keifer with half
sob, as he took Mr.. Tawneys hand in
both Of his. mo, Jim, there's nobody
dead, and you can't do anything. I'm
an old man, and 1 was just sitting
here thinking what a lot of time I've
wasted in sleep"

His Support.

who recently passed with credit civil
service examination was Immediately
certified for appointment to the treas.

His old mother, darkey of the ante.

oath of office. When the official
charged with the swearing in of .,the
new clerk put to him the usual formu
la with reference to supporting the
Constitution of the United States,''
the old lady's eyes were seen to bulge
with establishment. But she said moth
ing till she and her son were outside,
when, turning to him, she solemnly
observed:
Il didn't wanter say nothin' in
there, Joe; but deed, honey, l don't
see how youse goin' to suppote de

able till now to suppcte your folkses!"

PROBLEM FOR THE BUTLER.
Host Evidently Not Aware That Sole
Was Salt Water Fish.

Frank o. Lowden, representative
from the Ogle district in Illinois, is
becoming interested in agriculture.
He introduced a bill calling for $780,
900 that one of his pet measures might
be scientifically pursued.
The son-in-law of the late George M.
Pullman has one of the best equipped
farms in the west He lives on it,
too, having recently moved from Chi.
cago to Oregon in Ogle county. 1t is
one of his delights there to entertain
his friends from the city. At the din
ing table he calls attention to the to
matoes, the lettuce, the beef, the lamb,
mutton, chicken, turkey or whatever
dish there may be served-all raised
by him on his farm.
John j. Mitchell, the Chicago bank
er, and former Comptroller of the Cur
rency William B. Ridgely were his
guests few weeks ago. After the
soup was served there was fish.
This is fne.' observed Mr.. Mitchell.

Magnificent Street Views.

The street views in Washington
are such as are usually found only in
noble parks and great expanses of
country. They are not these of the
average city, or, in fact, of any city
in the world. 1t is not surprising its
residents are not obliged to go into
the country in order to see the glory
and the freshness of the spring array
which nature assumes. 1t is declared
to be we'll worth the while of any c:a
to come to the city just to see the
beauty which nature alone inpa-ts al
which is due in great measure to ,La
luxuriacce and number Of the trees.

was very snappish for the next few
days while he was in town, arranging
about his expedition. He had decided
to go to Africa on a hunting expedi-

not deign to notice him; but Garth

sovereign"
Il haven't found the sixpence,"
Lady Lydia's husband said; "hut you
may as we'll know that I've lost all my
sovereigns. I've just come to say
good-by. I'm off to the backwoods,
or somewhere, tomorrow"
No one spoke for a few mo-

and rubber. The backwoods will be
rather fun. shall have to cook and

She rose with laugh and took her

"Sha'n't II" she repeated, with a lit.

never seen his beautiful sister look so
delightful before.
"Your money is all right, Lydia"
Brown explained. Il didn't touch your
settlements, you know"
"Oh!" She laughed again. "Then
I shall have to keep you, l suppose, you

She drew him away, smiling all
the time. Carthwaite stared after
them.
"By Jove!" he said. "By Jove!"
And he banged the table suddenly and
laughed. II see!"
But Lady Lydia's husband did not
see.

the conservatory, "you-you've given
