ROBERT GARRETT,
OF BALTIMORE COUNTY.
Election-Tuesday, November Sd. 1905
In ORDER to show how old things have passed
away in our political campaigns single illus
tration will suffice. A band Of Chicago young
men, enthusiastic for Taft and Sherman, re-
Gently decided to revive the ancient political
torch-light procession, which has not been
much in evidence since the Blaine Cleveland
campaign, twenty -four years ago. When they
were ready to place the order they found that
there was no concern which could fill it.
THE FORMAL notification of COL Bryan of
his nomination for the Presidency will take
place at his home, on Wednesday, August 18th.
The people of Lincoln have planned to make
it non-partisan affair-that is a sort of iollifi-
cation in which all shades of politics can take
part in doing honor to one of their citizens
without committing themselves in any way.
Col. Bryan is personally very popular with his
home people and they want to show their es.
TEEN for him in great public demonstration.
THE BosroN Adyertise,s gets some fun out of
the Democratic denuncation of President
Roosevelt as dictator which, itsays, 'has
such rich, rare, and racy element of humor
in it that it must irresistibly appeal to most
Americans as one of the most incongruous fea-
lures of the Democratic campaign" 1t adds
"For any man sitting under the Bryan shadow
at Denver to talk about the 'dictation' of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, while SO supremely Indifferent
to the mighty dictation of Bryan, is in itself a
unique and telling bit of real humor." Very
true. But, alasl Democrats have no sense of
humor and there's the rub.
SERGEANT WALSH, of the United States Army,
has completed walk from San Francisco to
New York in So days and % hours At the
mayors office in the latter city he said be made
aStfe Great LAisif2a tEstiee E-as
lost so pounds weight during the trip and de-
clared be would not make itagain for 500, 900.
AT one part of his walk, he said. be crawled
along trail nine inches wide, 10,O0Ofeet high,
where burro would not go. He declared
that he was snowb blind from the reflection of
5the sun on the snow of the mountain tops.
He had the signatures of many mayors and
town officials on his route. Sergeant Walsh
is 50 years ofage.
CLEMSON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, in South
Carolina. boasts neither a champion football
team nor hereto professor, but, according to
brief article in Pearson's Magazine, it shows
equally notable enterprise in serving the State
in more humble lines. Clemson College car
ries on extensive work in a railway train which
is a museum of theoretical and practical
science. 1t travels from place to place and
through a staff of lecturers and demonstrators
dispenses information at farmers gatherings
county fairs and wherever else an audience
may be gathered. That the audiences do come
we are assured by word and picture. The
farmers come and tell their troubles and go
away instructed. 1t is the peripatetic system
put to admirable use and South Carolina and
Clemson College both deserve congratulations.
Hon. WILLIAM B. ALLISON, who was known
as the Father of the Senate" died of heart
failure at his home in Dubuque, Iowa, on
Tuesday last. He was born in Ohio in 1929
and was admitted to the bar in 1850. He was
a delegate to the Republican National Con-
vention in 1860 that nominated Lincoln for
President. He was first elected to Congress in
1868 and remained a member of the lower
House until 1878, when be was elected to the
Senate in which he had served ever SINCE
Senator Alton was several times mentioned as
Presidential possibility. Speaking of the
dead Senator Col. Bryan said 'sMr. Allison
has had long and conspicuous career. While
he has been for many years a leader of his
party he has enjoyed the confidence of the
country regardless of party and his death will
be sincerely mourned."
THE REPUBLICAN convention of the Second
Congressional district met at Towson on We'd
nesday and nominated Mr. Robert Garrett, of
Baltimore county, for the House of Represen-
tatives. Mr.. E. M. Allen, of Hartford was
the only other name presented to the conven-
ton and it was withdrawn before vote was
camation. This is the third time he has been
before the people of the district as a candidate
for Congress and he is therefore no stranger to
the voters. Each previous time he has had
Mr.. Talbot as his opponent and he now locks
horns with that warhorse of Democracy for
the third time. Since Mr.. Garrett was last
candidate he has become benedict and occu-
pies in summer a beautiful home on Charles
street avenue, near that of his mother, Mrs. T.
Harrison Garrett. His wife is a daughter of
DR.. Robert w. Johnson prominent Balti-
more physician, and they have a son less than
year old.
A CHINESE philosopher named Ng Pooh
Chew has been having something to say lately
about marriage and divorce that is attracting
no little attention. In an interview in San
Francisco a few days ago he is reported to
have said: 1.-The world must look to China
for remedy of the divorce evil. In my coun-
try marriage is a common job. Everyone has
to take part, voluntarily or otherwise. We
marry because we must; you marry because
you fancy you have found your affinity. We
know of no affinities. The Chinese regard the
breaking of the marriage bond, either by d.
vorce or separation, not only as immoral, but |
as fearful crime against society. Here you
