As a 6. o. p. organ Sees 1t.

The G. o. P. organs are beginning to
realize that the Bryan sentiment is gain.
ing as the campaign progresses. The
following paragraph from a Baltimore
republican paper is pretty good evidence
that it is not all plain sailing for Taft in
Maryland
"The managers of Bryan's campaign
in Maryland are really in earnest this
year. They are displaying greater activity
than in any former campaign when Mr..
Bryan was candidate, while the en-
thusiasm for him in the rank and file OF
the party was never greater.
ut is apparent that Bryan's strength
has grown since his visit to Maryland,
and that the sentiment for him is more in
evidence now than at any time in this
campaign or in any campaign in which
he figured as candidate"

is unknown and unconceived in China
and only few even of the mandarin class
know of this generosity on the part of the
United States. In fact, only very few
10 China could understand it if it were
explained to them every day for twelve
months, ard it is doubtful if it could be
gotten into their heads in any other way
by teaching them the English language.
Nevertheless. this high dignitary is
coming to express the thanks of his gov.
ernment to the government at Washing
ton and he and his suite will doubtless be
laden with chinaware, jades and trinkets
as presents to the great of our land. Can
it be that the Chinese government has
been misled by chimerical talk of an
alliance between this country and Chino.

The democratic campaign committee OF
the State has arranged for meetings
throughout Maryland. It is announced
that United States Senator Rayner will
address gatherings in every Congressional
district, while State Senator Blair Lee,
the Maryland member of the Finance
Committee of the National Committee,
will be heard through the northern and
western counties, and United States Sen
ator John Walter Smith will join the list

The Standard Oil scandal, which was
precipitated by changes made by VIM.
R, Hearst, has stirred up lot of mud
in the presidential campaign, and even
ouk President has not been above stoop-
ing to do some of the mud Singing him
self.
Whether or not the charges are true
they have resulted in the Withdrawal OF
United States Senator Foraker, repub-
lican, from the campaign, and also Gov
ernor Haskell, of Oklahoma, treasurer OF
the democratic National committee.
The trail of the trust serpent has also
been responsible for Gen. T. Coleman
Dupont, of Delaware, who is at the head
of the Powder Trust, being removed by
the President from the head of the Re.
publican Speakers Bureau, and from the
Executive Committee of the Republican
National Committee. Gen. DuPont's
prominence in the republican campaign
while his powder company was under
prosecution by the government, was
giving the republicans black eye and
the President was compelled to remove
him, for the looks of things.

Threatened Forest Fires.

Due to the prolonged drought the
danger from forest fires is very great and
the exercise of every precaution is nee
essary to protect timber and other prof.
erty. The damage caused by such fires
is not alone measured by the destruc.
ton of timber, young growth and build
ings, but is, also measured by the reduced
capacity of the forest to grow timber for
the future and its reduced power to regu-
late the flow of streams. In many other
States the loss caused by forest fires this
season amounts to millions of dollars,
whole towns have been destroyed and
some lives lost. There are instances in
this State when only by the prompt
action of forest wardens, assisted by
others, school houses and other property
have been saved from what would have
been certain destruction without such
assistance. A FIRE in the forest at this
time is likely to entail heavy loss not
only to the individual owner, but to the
community in general The most dan
gerous season is only begun and it is
therefore urged that all public spirited
citizens lend their aid in enforcing the
State forest fire laws and notify the near
est forest warden, or the State Forester
at Baltimore, of any violation of the
same. The law makes it misdemeanor
to maliciously or carelessly set fire or
allow it to escape to the injury of the
lands of others, and imposes fine of not
less than $25 or more than $1,000 for each
offeuse, or imprisonment for not less than
80 days or more than one year, or both
such fine and imprisonment. Copies of
the law can be secured from the forest
wardens or from the State Forester on
application. Any land owner who desires
to post the official fire warning notices in
the vicinity of his woodlands for the pro-
lection it affords can secure limited
number of such notices printed on cloth
on application to the State Forester, Bal
timore, Maryland.

Republican Prosperity.

This is the way Western republican
paper treats the calamity howl that some
of our republican friends are sending up
that the country will go to the dogs if
Bryan is elected and the republicans
kicked out of power:
''The threat that prosperity will cease
with republican rule is either bugaboo
with which to frighten the faint hearted,
or it is a confession of the most stupen-
dons wrong, the most iniquitous abuse of
power the world has ever seen, and in
either case it is the most contemplate
kind of demagogism, for the man who
plays upon the fears of the people is sure
ly demagogue, or if he has the power
to back up his threats with results worse
still traitor who ought to hang higher
than Hamon. Taft's defeat can not take
one jot or title from the natural resources
of our country; it will not make fewer by
one the band of willing workers, nor
lessen the legitimate needs of the people
by so much as one loaf os bread or one
pair of shoes. His defeat could not effect
the natural sources of wealth, the supply
of labor nor the legitimate demand for
the products of mans skill, and therefore
if the assertion that honest laborers would
starve if Bryan is elected means anything
it means that the benefciaries of repubh-
can rule would not be satisfied with an
equitable division of profits, and so would
pout aud bring on hard times, a thing
which they might do since they have
been allowed to get almost absolute con-
troll of the means of production. If this
be Republican prosperity" the sooner
we substitute socialism for republicanism
the better.-Appleton lMinn.) Press

New Treatment For Typhoid.

The Maryland General Hospital
physicians are experimenting with
a new treatment for the cure of
typhoid. The treatment has been
in use at the City Hospital for some
time, and the results obtained there
have led to its trial at the Mary
land. The treatment consists of a
vaccine serum, which is prepared
by taking typhoid germs and secur-
ing certain tissue healing capacities
from them. 1t is injected on alter.
nate days into the patient, and its
force, instead of antagonizing the
typhoid germs, Is to strengthen the
tissues of the patient.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER Q, 1908.

Republican campaign managers in
New Jersey want Taft to stump in that
State as there is an unmistakable drift
there favorable to Bryan. The New
Jersey republican leaders are not the only
ones who have discovered the drift toward
Bryan, as there is general panic in the
G. o. P. at the way things are going,
and President Roosevelt is working his
typewriter and pen overtime in des-
perate effort to help his nominee, whom
he forced upon the republican party.

they can get what they want here, and
some others say they can not, but it does
not argue that prohibition is a failure.

Interesting news comes from far off
China that the illustrious Tang -Shao.Yi,
attended by splendid suite with silken
garments and long queues, is on his way
from the Celestial Kingdom bearing
letter to the people of the United States
from the hand of the Son of Heaven, as
the Chinese Emperor is called. The
Emperor (or the Dowager Empress,
which is its) is doubtless grateful for the
return of the pittance of eleven millions
of dollars which did not rightfully belong
to us as an indemnity for our expenses in
suppressiug the Boxer trouble. Such. a
