Senator Smiths Work For
Humanity.

Ex-Governor John Walter Smith APP
peared before the Finance Committee
of the Senate on Thursday of last week
To urge favorable action on the bill APP
proprlating money to complete the
tuberculosis santarium in the Blue
Ridge Mountains. The Ex-Governor
said in part However important other
things that are before you may seem
to be, this is really the most important.
Ii is big from an economic standpoint
and still bigger from a humane stand
point. Maryland is far behind its sister
States in the treatment of tuberculosis.
Hundreds of useful young lives are
sacrificed just because the afflicted have
no means to have themselves cared for
in the proper way. The attention Of
the public is being called almost every
day to persons. who after submitting
to treatment. have returned to their
families and their friends with the
malady cured or its progress arrested.
These are persons with means. How
terrible it is that Young lives just as
deserving as these should be sacrificed
for the want of little money Amy
money you may give in this cause is
well given.
Ex-Governor Smith was the author
OF the bill fora tuberculosis sanitarium.
| was through his initiative that it was
first introduced in the Legislature 1t
was through his efforts that the bill
was enacted into law with a liberal APP
preparation. 1t was through his earnest
ness and zeal as chairman of the com
mittee, that the plan of erecting build
ings and organizing the work has pro-
crossed so rapidly The accomplish
ment Of this work of humanity will re-
dound to his credit throughout this
generation and for generations to follow.
II will be a monument that will endure
to his memory long after the political
honors to which he has attained have
become dimmed or faded away.

DO NOT REPEAL THIS LAW.

A law was passed by the
Legislature of 1906 providing
for the care of the insane by the
State, beginning with the year
1909. A bill has been introduce
ed this session to repeal this
law. While the law on the
statute book does not carry
with it any appropriation, those
interested in the measure had
hoped, and confidently expect
ed. that the present Legislature
would make an appropriation
sufficiently large TO commence
the work. 1t is up TO the pre-
sent Legislature to make no
backward step but to take a
stand on the side of progress,
civilization and humanity 1t
would not be practicable 10 du-
plicate Springfield or Spring
Grove in one year. but institu-
tions similar to these should be
provided in the course of time.
Maryland is far behind many
other States in this particular.
Nearly all the States have eX-
cellent institutions for caring
for chronic cases, and special
medical attention is given TO
those patients whose malady
seems temporary The number
of cures from nervous break
downs and other causes is said
to be large. 1t is highly prob
able that the general public is
unaware of the fact that more
than half of the insane patients
of the State are confined in
jails, aims houses and other in
adequate places; that there are
almost as many methods of
treating and providing for them
as there are places of contine-
ment. 1t is bad enough for the
friends and relatives of these
unfortunates to think of them
in institutions where they know
the best of care and medical at
tention is bestowed upon them.
Much more narrowing and ever
present must be the thought of
them in the deplorable condi-
tions and surroundings in
which so many are placed. One
great advantage of State super
vision is the definite treatment
and management which would
be possible. The County insti-
tutions should be used exclu-
sively for the poor and the sick
persons who have no homes. To
place insane persons there
works to the detriment of the
institution in the purposes for
which it was established A
poor man hesitates to go to the
same place where he thinks he
will associate with lunatics.
At the present time Worces-
ter County has charge upon

COMPLAINTS ISSUED AGAINST
THREE OF THEM.
ACTION GETS MONEY
City Treasurer Has Trouble ENFORCING
New Ordinance and Calls In Aid Of
the eo'ice-AIl Must Carry Num-
bers az Well.

From Saturdays Daily.
Complaints charging Willard Baker,
Willis Foster and Leslie scovel with
violating q new ordinance relative.
to the licensing and numbering of
drays wee issued in Judge Mann's
court yesterday. It was understood
at first that the would be CON
tested and a test made of the ordi-
nance, but 1t is said that the draymen
have paid their licenses aud the case
will probably be dismissed.
The ordinance wal passed at a re-
cent meeting of the city council and
became effective May 1. It provides
that every hackman, drayman or au-
tomobile driver carrying passengers,
baggage, express or freight for hire
shall pay a license and must carry a
number, which can be seen at night
and in the daytime, on his wagon.
When the ordinance became eff
fective all of the hackmen and auto
mobile drivers with the exception Of
one paid their licenses, but despite
the fact that they were given a copy
of the ordinance none Of the draymen
took out licenses as provided.
After making several ineffectual at
tempts to collect licenses from the
draymen the city treasurer notified
Chief Of Police Talgo and the issuance
Of the warrants against three Of them
was the result.
As soon as the warrants were is-
sued there was a rush for the city
hall on the part Of the drayMen, and
with the exception Of two or three all
paid their licenses without protest.
The police declare that unless the 9TH
ers pay Immediately complaints
against them will be issued.
The police also declare that the
sections Of the ordinance relative to
the numbering of all conveyances for
hire will be rigidly enforced.
+ The penalty for violations Of the
ordinance Is a fine of not more than
800 Or a sentence Of SO days In jail.
The city treasurer declares that. I'M
less licenses Of business houses are
paid with greater regularity and less
trouble the police will be informed
and drastic action will be resorted to.
Chief of Police Talgo has issued a
warning that the ordinance provid-
ing that no heavy trucks or wagons Of
any kind shall b; run on the sidewalk
will be rigidly enforced. Numerous
complaints have been made recently
that the sidewalk Is frequently OBJ.
structed by these trucks.

SLAMS COME FROM EAST.
TO MAKE HOMES HERE
Arrivals Sent to Farms Where Beets
Are cuItivated-Many Go to Laurel
and Park city-Few Austrians Here
at Present.

From Saturdays Daily.
More than 500 beet workers arrived
in Billings yesterday with their house
hold goods from Lincoln, Neb., and
were taken to the various farms in
the valley. The greater part OF the
beet workers are German-Russian and
1t is expected that all OF them will
make their homes here. ;
The party came in 10 passenger
coaches and three baggage cars and
a freight car were used in transport
ing their belongings from Nebraska to
their new homes. Five carloads of
the new arrivals were taken on to
Park City, a large number to Laurel
and many were sent to the farming
sections Of Carbon county.
In employing the beet workers only
those who would promise to make
their homes here through the winter
months as well as during the growing
season were hired. With, those who
are expected to! arrive soon and
stayed here during the winter months
more than 1000 of these thrifty PEG.

Many of those who remain purchase
small farms or city lots and build
themselves homes. At Laurel a good
sized colony Of German-Rnssian beet
workers has been established.
In the families which arrived yes.
terday, there was anything but a
'baucity Of children. Most of the men
in the party are married and have
from one to six little ones dependent

arrivals which was noticeable was
their apparent lack of interest in
what the future had in store for them
