Gonpers' Circular.

"In performing solemn duty at this
time in support of political party, la
Dor does not become partisan to polit-
ical party, but partisan to principle"
declares President Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, in cir
cular issued on Monday regarding Ia
BORIS attitude in the campaign. He
charges that the Republican party and
its candidate stand for further extend
ing into this country despotic govern
ment vested in the Judiciary, and that
the Democratic party and its candidate
stand for government by law vested in
the people.
The circular is addressed to "Men of
Labor, Lovers of Human Liberty" and
says in part:
1.-THE judiciary induced by corpora,
lions and trusts, and protected by the
Republican party is step by step destroy
ing government by law and substituting
therefor a government by Judges, who
determine what in their opinion is
wrong, what is evidence, who is guilty
and what the punishment shall be. This
revolution is de priving the workers OF
their rights as citizens, and will inevi-
tably be made applicable to the business
men later. This virus and poison has
in several instances entered upon the
legislative field by making laws which
may be enforced by equity process
Oespotic power under the ermine is as
dangerous as despotic power under the
Crown
The circular refers to Judge Taft as
'sthe originatnr and specific champion
of discretionary government" and MIR.
Gompers reiterates that there is no
political Office in the gift of the Amer
lean people, elective or appointive, that
[ would under any circumstances &C

Democratic Campaign Contrib
utiOnS.

The undersigned, as Treasurer of the
Committee of One Hundred, political
organization throughout the State of
Maryland for the purpose of electing
Bryan and Kern and the regular Con-
gressional candidates of the Democratic
party, having duly given bond to the
State of Maryland and filed the same
with the Secretary of State, as provided
under chapter 122 of the Acts of the
General Assembly of Maryland of 1908
for the purpose of preventing corrupt
practices, is now in position t? receive
and account for, according to law, such
contributions as may be made by all Cit
liens; and has also been appointed by
the Democratic National Committee,
member of the Finance Committee OF
the National Organization for the State
of Maryland,
The new law, which throws much la
Dor on political treasurers, directs the
names of all contributors and the
amounts given to be made public rec
ord in the Circuit Court Clerks office of
the respective counties or Baltimore
City. No subscriptions without the
name of the giver can be received. Any
person who subscribes in any other name
than his own, and every treasurer who
knowingly receives such subscription,
is subject to fine and Imprisonment and
will be ineligible to public office for four
years from the date of the offence. A
detailed account of expenditures is re-
ouired. The law prohibits subscriptions
from corporations. The publicity thus
given to all subscriptions is apparently
Intended to discourage them firm the
special interests for improper purposes
and also correspondingly to encourage
the party leaders and benefciaries, in
Guiding the rank and file of the people,
whose interests are served by honest
| government, to bear the campaign ex.
penses of the party which they choose
| to support. The public record of con-
| tributions will thus serve as an index OF
| the individuals who give financial sup
port to the Democratic party in this
| important campaign.
Every Democrat in the State of Mary
| land, who is financially able, should at
once make a contribution for the cause
| either to local Treasurer, to the Treas
urer of the State Central Committee
| Hon. Murray Vandiver, or to the under.
| signed, and the name of the contributor
will be placed on the Roll of Honor to
| be recorded in the courts Of record as
directed by the Statute
If the people desire to rule and throw
off the yoke of the special interests, they
| should respond to this lawful opportun.
ity and contribute to necessary and
proper political expenses.

FORTY-SECOND YEAR OPENS
SEPTEMBER 10th, 1908.

PERFECTLY SAFE, where your sons
and daughters are surrounded by
the best moral and religious influ-
ence; where pure mountain air and
water keep them healthful; and
where new buildings equipped in
moderan fashion house them in
comfort.
WISELY PLANNED for both sexes,
but reciting in separate classes:
making EDUCATION its great bust
ness, and keeping athletic and so
cial matters incidental; reducing the
cost SO as to reach the largest num-
Der but tolerating no student who
will not study.
THOROUGH, offering three separate
courses for the degree of A. B., one
with Greek and two without; well
equipped Scientific Building; good
Library; Gymnasium, and a Faculty
oftwenty-one specialists.
OF GOOD REPUTE. You will find
our students everywhere, ask them.
Without large endowments or
splendid gifts from the rich we have
slowly built up a College whose only
claim is the good work it does, and
this has kept it growing for forty
years.

Halloween is not Far OF.

Halloween, the "witchcraft" season
of the year, will occur Saturday, Octo-
Der 81, and, to the superstitious maiden
and youth, many fate will be decided.
Sweethearts will watch very intently
how the chestn uts burn in the fire, and
girls will look carefully in the glass
while they eat the apple to see II any
face will be peeriug over their should
ers In Maryland and Virginia, more
particularly than in the other states OF
the union, the day is devoted to sports
and practical jokes. In the country
towns the small boy will remove gates,
will gleefully put the tick-tacks on the
window, or will throw corn against the
doors and windows.
Halloween is the eve of All SAINTS
Day, and it takes its origin from the
fact that it is the anniversary of the last
day on which the Roman gods were al
lowed, by law, to be woIshiped in Rome
On All Saints Day the beginning of the
Christian religion as the state religion
of Rome is marked
Halloween has nothing church, y
about it, and seems to be relic OF
pagan times, or, perhaps. of medieval
superstitions. In Scotland and England
and some parts of America, it is rega1 I'd
ed as the time of all others when super
natural influences prevail, and as
night set apart for uni versal walking
abroad of spirits, both of the visible
and invisible world.
Burns, the poet of the Scots, Is one
of the authorities Of Halloween prac-
tices and it is to him that the rest OF the
world is indebted for accounts of many
of the frolics of the Celtic peasants on
the night in question. His poem, Hal
loween," describes artly the customs
of the time in which he wrote and which
still prevail around the shores OF Locn
Lomond, along the banks of the "Bon-
ME Doom" and on Cassilas Downons'
The latter are group OF green nils
near the ancient seat Of the Earls OF
Cassilas, one of the most powerful fam
lilies of the Highlands, in the days when
it was dangerous for man wearing the
Cameron plaid to GO near the domains
of the wearers of Mcpherson green,
black and red check, or vice versa.
One of the first ceremonies OF this
night of feasting was pulling stock OF
kali. A lad and lassie went out, hand
in hand, with eyes shut, to the kali oed'
and pulled the first stock they came
upon. It's being big or little, straight
or crooked. was prophetic OF the size
and shape of the grand object OF all
their "spells," the future husband or
wife. If any ''yird," of earth stick to
the root, that was fortune, and the taste
of the 'heart of the stem," the custock,
was indicative of the temper and dis
position of the future life's partner.
Another test il. to try fate with three
bowls of water. Put clean water IN
one, dirty water in the second and leave
the third empty. Blindfold person
and lead him to the hearth, where the
bowls are set, and let him dip his left
hand into one of them. If, by chance,
he dips his hand into the clean water,
his future wife will be maid; if into
the dirty water, widow, and il into
the empty dish, he will not be married
at all
