Governor Crothers Refuses to
Exempt Worcester County
From Oyster Culture.

The refusal OF Governor Gro.h
ers to approve the bill eXempting
Worcester county from the oper-
alton of he Oyster Culture Act.
will meet with the hearty com
mendation of the people of the
State. The bill was an attack
upon measure which has been
deemed 10 be of the greatest ben
eft to the material interests of
Maryland. and out of which it
is confidently expected that large
public revenues will come and
upon which great and product
i've industry will be found The
Worcester county bill was sup
ported by both personal and polit
zeal friends of the Governor, and
the refusal to sign was doubtless
personally unpleasant. But the
Governors sense of his ohliga
tons TO the people. his duty 10
his party and his loyalty to
MarSl nd, constrained him to put
aside his personal considerations
aud do this thing regardless of
the obstacles that stood in the
way. For this he is entitled 10
the public approval, and every
well wiSher, every one who de.
sireS the present administration
TO be success and not a failure.
will rejoice that Governor Croth
ers has firmly refused to approve
this bad and dangerous measure.
Public officials often find it diff
cult to pursue the straight and
narrow path of duty. But it is
the path that leads TO honor and
above all Others to self approx
ing conscience.

PRESSING WOOD Pull F
BILL.
Mr.. Watson Says That it Can

Mr.. Watson Says That it Can
be Passed by the House.
That Herman Ridder, of New
York. President of the American
Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton, has not abandoned his fight
to have wood pulp and print
paper placed on the free list is
indicated by the fact that he con
ferred recently with Representa-
tive James L. Watson, the Re.
publican whip" of the House,
on the subject.
Mr.. Watson told Mr.. Ridder
that personally he favored the
proposal, and suggested that
Mr.. Ridder max an effort 10 i'm
duce the Democratic Senators to
agree that if a wood pulp and
print paper bill reached the Sen
ate, it should be permitted TO pass
without amendment.
If you can get such an agree
ment from the Democratic Sena-
tors. | think that there Will be
but little difficulty in putting a
bill through the House admitting
wood pulp and print paper ON
the free list" said Mr.. Watson.
Mr.. Ridder announced his in
tention of taking up the matter
with the Democratic Senators.

ROOSEVELT TO FINS II
THE CANAL.
Suggestion That This Work
Would Properly Grown
His Career.

"lf Taft is elected President,
Mr.. Roosevelt will be appointed
General Director of the Panama
Canal" said ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor John B. O'Meara, of st.
Louis, who has just returned
from the Canal Zone. where he
has been investigating contracts
that his firm is interested in.
"At least" he continued, "that
is the general impression among
the officials in the zone, and this
opinion is apparently backed up
from Washington. In converse
ton with some officials 1 was told
that in the event Mr. Roosevelt
will take up the work in Panama,
Colonel Goethals will become his
assistant. Those in position to
know at the canal say that the
President has privately minated
that lie would like to round out
his career as the builder OF the
great Panama Canal, the greatest
work ever undertaken in any age
by any nation"

TARIFF FAKIRS.

President Roosevelt, it is said, takes
kindly to the Fairbanks plan of a
special session for revisi3 of the tariff
Immediately after tue election-that is
by the present Congress instead of
leaving the matter to the Congress
that will come into power after March
4th What is the good of these tariff
fakirs telling of the great things that
they will do after the election, +" when
nothing is attempted before the cleo
ton. If tariff revision is needed so
ally that it must be undertaken in
November, why has the President and
Congress been standing pat since last
December?
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1908-04-24

can voters of the country could be
taken on the question of repeating the
tariff tax on wood pulp and print pa
per, is it not certain that few would
oppose it? Yet Speaker Cannon refuses
to allow the bill to be reported from
the Ways aud Means Committee.
On March 10 Mr.. Rider, president of
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association, wrote TO Congressman
Payne, chairman of the committee, re-
questing that hearing b. granted
upon the bills relating 10 free paper
= pulp. On March q Mr.. Payne re
Piled, stating thaE
The maj irity of the committee de-
termined early in the session that it
would not be wise to enter upon revi-
sion of the tariff during this year, thus
adding 10 the uncertainty and disquiet
always caused by Pres dental cleo
ton. They also had in mind the dis.
turbance caused by the recent panic.
Iu order To avoid ali agitation, they de-
cided that they would have no hearings
upon any subject affecting the tariff
rates. After receiving your letter |
again met with = majority of The mem
beers of the committee and they ad.
hered TO their opinion. therefore feel
authorized to say to you there will be
do hearing upon tariff rates until after

ARMY TO GET MORE PAY
House and Senate Conferees
Have Agreed Upon This.

The army practically is assured
of an increase in pay. The con
ferees of the Senate and House
have reached an agreement on
this item of the Army Appro-
priatlon Bill substantially along
the lines of the Senate Amend
ment which graded the author
lied increases according to the
various branches of the service.
So dissatisfied did the House
conferees become at the last SEES
sion that they vetoed to post
pone consideration of the bill
for time. Representative Hull.
Chairman of the House Conferees,
has gone to Iowa, and there will
be no further consideration of
the measure until his return.
