Jail Inspections.

]. O. Stutsman, secretary of the
Prisoners Aid Association, is making
an inspection of all the penal institu-
tions of the State. So far he has re-
ported on the jails at Annapolis and
Belair, and he had nothing good to
say of either of them. The last named
he says is one of the worst buildings
of the kind in the United States, and
that it is "inhuman to place a pris-
oner within it's walls" We apprehend
he will find much better condition
of affairs at our Westminster Jail.
We believe Sheriff Townshend does
his best to keep it clean and sanitary.
He compels the prisonres to take fire.
quent baths, to air their bed clothing
daily, to scrub the floors and white
wash the walls, and evidently takes
pride in making it a model institution
of this character.
Since the above was written we
were informed by Sheriff Townshend
that Mr.. Stutsman paid him visit
last week, made searching examina-
tion, and complimented him on the
cieanly condition of the jail.

1t is interesting to note that the
memorial highway project has been
extended to the erection of fine road
way from Washington to- Mount Ver-
non, thus providing for the uniting of
Gettysburg, so closely related to the
contributions of Lincoln to the nation,
and Mount Vernon, the home of Wash
ington and his last resting place. This
is truly national project, and one
that should enlist the interest of all
Americans. 1t is to be hoped that
Congress will make the necessary ap-
preparation. Certainly Maryland, the
state sthat gave the site for the ma
tion's capital, cannot be accused of
biased views on the propriety of the
nation casting up those highways.
The country is rich enough to erect
a fitting memorial to Lincoln in sculp-
tored form and yet provide this high
way system that would be at the same
time wise internal improvement

ANDERSON AND HIS METHODS.
Seeking to Accomplish His Purpose by
Threats and Intimidation.

While the Prohibition party may
not in this generation command
enough votes to elect it's candidates,
it will never fail to command the re-
spect of all people who admire cour-
age, frankness, directness and devo-
tion to principle. The methods of
this party are in marked contrast with
those of the Anti-Saloon League. The
Prohibition party declares that it be-
lieves the sale of liquor is wrong and
should be stopped and calls upon all
who are of that way of thinking to
vote for candidates who will, if elect
ed, carry out the policy of the party.
The Anti-Saloon League party makes
no nominations, nor does it hold con-
ventions, but seeks to accomplish its
purposes by making deals and by in
timidation. The Prohibition party
also offers candidates to the public
for their suffrages. The Anti-Saloon
party uses threats and violence. 1t
offers it's support on election day to
the candidates Of one of the political
parties it does not care Wilhelm
return for a pledge to vote for its
measures. The character of the can
didate or of the party to which he be-
! longs, whether the man is a fit man
for Office or not, does not seem to in
terest the league. ALI it asks is the
pledge to support its bills. This would
be bad enough and dangerous enough
to the public welfare, but it is not all.
The offer to deal is accompanied by
threats. 1t is openly proclaimed that
any man who does not do the bidding
of the agent of the league will be re-
lentIess1y punished and defeated
whenever he comes up for Office, if it
is in the power of the. league to &C
complish it. If man does not agree
with it he is to be prescribed, boy
cotted and black-listed. Such meth
ods constitute an ever-present danger
to good government. A combination
of this sort can by intimidation WELD
a certain power, it can control GER
tain number of votes, and the use OF
such power by irresponsible persons
could deprive the State of its services
of excellent citizens and put into Of
flee, from time to time, men who
would do no credit to the Legislature
In Maryland the Anti-Saloon League
has employed a lawyer, who is going
up and down through the State de-
nouncing and threatening people be
cause they were not subservient t.
the orders which this league, through
this lawyer, issued last winter.
The clean, courageous and straight
forward methods of the Prohibition
party command respect. The meth
DDS of the Anti-Saloon League-a
least those adopted in Maryland-ten'
to provoke bitterness and opposition

Wheat Prices In.

No. red Western wheat sold at
98A to SO on the Baltimore Chamber
of Commerce on Monday. The price
of wheat has been forced up during
the last few weeks by number of
conditions. The Argentine crop is
very poor, the Dakota wheat has suf-
fered enormously through drouth, and
a great deal more wheat than usual
is being bought for export. Alto
eighths of the amount of available
year.
Even although the Dakota crop has
had favorable weather lately, it will
not reach its customary yield, and the
price will in all probability remain
high.

Having Fun With Us.

Editor of the Advocate.
The following appeared in your pa
per of recent date:
Harry Fowble, East Green street,
reports having used tomatoes from his
garden. These are the first known to
us to be used in this CITY,"
I wish to state that have personal
knowledge of the fact that tomatoes
were used in Westminster as early as
1854 and, feel confident, at much
earlier date. AS to the latter I refer
you to citizens of your own city who
probably were eating tomatoes when
was depending upon milk-for in
stance, the president of your company
and one other of your directors well
known in public affairs.

DEMONSTRATION.

Nothing short Of q tremendous po-
litIcal revolution can defeat William

uras and estimates, The veteran
Congressman. who has studied pol

these l2l will be- chosen from II
southern states with practically no

General KIefer looks for vigorous

have q reasonable chance In all OF
these states.
In the doubtful list. with 20 cleo
torai votes he places Colorado. Del

South Dakota and Utah. He says
there is no certainty that any OF
these will choose Bryan electors.
Cutting out Montana and Utah. the
doubtful ones lean strongly to the
Republican column. General Kiefer
expects Nebraska TO 90 Republican.

NO MILK IN TYPHOID.

A. Seibert Of New York has used
q milkfree fluid diet in typhoid fever
in 81 cases at st. Francis hospital,
with only one death. Most Of the
patients were convalescent much
sooner than is usually the case in ty-
phoid fever. Irrigations Of the bow
els were combined with the diet. The
patient is given an initial dose Of
calomel, and is then fed on water
for "a hours. From that time he
takes strained rice, oatmeal or bar
ley soup with extract of meat and
egg yolk. Then other broths and
zwieback are added. Hydrochloric
acid is given before feeding. All the
general symptoms are improved, the
temperature is lowered, intestinal
and nervous symptoms are improved
and complications disappear. The
attack is shortened, the mortality d.
minished and complications lessened-

when he fails TO negotiate a sale
