A Prosperous Section of Our Rich Coun-
ty.-That the farmers in the section of which
White Hall Station, N. c. R. R., is the center
ton is evidenced by the vast amount of pro-
duce shipped from that station. The business
of August as compared with that month in 1907
was 81, 900 greater.
During the month 20 carloads of freight were
shipped Fifteen thousand bushels of grain
was sent to Baltimore and more than 5000, 600
pounds of freight was received and shipped.
The amount received from the sale of milk
tickets was $40, indicating daily shipment
of 400 gallons of milk.
While there are no manufacturing interests
at White Hall, except a large -four mill, the
monthly report shows that the agricultural
interests of that section are large and profitable.

Holidays Enough.-The Baltimore Anleri-
ca,. Star wisely remarks: ut was a very abb
surb idea ever to try to make October 18th
holiday in Maryland. Columbus did not need
the honor and Maryland did not need the holt
day. So Attorney General Straus has done
useful service in finding the whole scheme I'M
constitutional. We might also spare one OF the
weeks of September"

House. of the United Railways Company, says
that he expects to have the line over the st.
Paul boulevard to Roland Park in operation
the latter part of this month. The track and
overhead work is about completed, including
the work across the Stony run bridge, where
the delay has so long existed. Some minor
connections in joining the lines at the city and
county ends is still to be done, but these are be-
ing speedily worked out. The new route is ex-
pected to save the residents of Roland Park
seven minutes in reaching the center of the
city.

Republicans Frightened.

In June the Republicans expected to
walk over the Presidential course
and carry off the stakes without an
effort. In September they are sweat
ing at every pore in their efforts to
keep pace with the Democrats, and
they note with alarm a steadily in
creasing enthusiasm for Mr.. Bryan
and nothing of the sort for Mr.. Taft.
The President is getting nervous; he
has fired off letter to arouse Repub-
lican support of his candidate, and
while it is announced that he will not
go on the stump, it is certain that he
cannot keep quiet while the campaign
moves as it is now going. The Union
League and the Manufacturers Club
of this city are giving unmistakable
evidences of alarm at the undeniable
apathy of Republicans. The country
doesn't scare at Bryan as it was ex-
pected to, and the tariff beneficlaries
and the Republican ringsters are feel
ing all the alarm there is.

international Hens.

The advantages that people who live
exactly ON the line between two coun-
tries have in escaping the customs and
other regulations Of both countries
have often been recounted Probably
the most picturesque instance of this
kind Of evasion occurred In the town
Of Nogales, which lies exactly on the
boundary between Mexico and Arizona.
On the United States side Of the line
in this town eggs were at one time
made costly by the revision Of the
tariff schedule pertaining to that prod
uct, inasmuch as the hens in that re-
gion were chiefly owned on the Mexi-
can side and were fed by the peasants
on cheap Mexican grain. .s
One year Maine Yankee arrived in
Nogales with an eye to business. He
was convinced that his opportunity lay
in the high price Of eggs. Accordingly
he put up a long henhouse exactly
across the boundary line. At the Mex
lean end he regularly fed his hens with
low priced Mexican grain
The fowls ate their grain in Mexico
and then walked across the line into
the United States to lay their eggs.
The transaction was, Of course, per
fectly legitimate, for the proprietor of
the hennery smuggled neither grain
nor eggs But he availed himself of
high prices ON one side and low prices
on the other.-New York Tribune

A Word to State Bankers.

The state bank is to be found every
where, and in the smaller communi-
ties is often the only bank. Has the
state banker considered the currency
situation as it presents itself at this
time. The national bankers of the
cities are clammering for an asset cur
rency-that is, for currency which
they can issue on their assets without
the deposit of government bonds with
the Treasury department. At first
they tried to secure complete change
in the basis of their banknotes but
failing in this, they have been urging
the asset currency as an emergency.
The state bankers ought to let their
congressman know that there is an OBJ
lection to the asset currency either as
a permanent currency or as an emer-
gency currency. There Is no reason
why the government should not issue
whatever asset currency the country
needs. If the government instead OF
banks issues this currency, 1t can IS
sue treasury notes, and these treas
ury notes can be loaned to the state
banks as we'll as to the national banks.
The policy of the treasury department
has been to take care of Wall street
and then trust Wall Street to take
care of the rest of the country, but 1t
is an absurd and foolish policy. II as
set currency is needed, there is no
reason why it should not be furnished
in such a way that the state bank as
well as the national banks can re-
lieve local stringency. II we are TO
have an emergency currency, let IL
be issued by the government and con-
trolled by the government, let COLI
gress fix the kind of security and then
let the currency be loaned to the state
bank as we'll as to the national bank.
There is no reason for this discrimi-
nation that is constantly made in
favor of the national bank. 1t is time
that the state bankers filed their pro-
test against this ravoritism.-The
Commoner.

If the government does not assure
to the individual the enjoyment of the
result of his effort, there is no stimu-
lus to industry.

earth. 1t gives the largest liberty, the

greatest hope and the most encourage
ment to the citizens, and yet, even IN
this country, it is always necessary
to be on the watch to keep the lnstru-
mentalities of government from being
turned to private gain.
One of the great problems of today
is to secure an equitable distribution
of the proceeds of toll. The material
wealth of this country is largely a
Joint product; in factories few peo-
pie work alone; and on the farm
certain amount of cooperation is nee
essary. Where men work together,
the army organization applies to some
degree; that is, some direct, others
are directed. set
The difficulty has been to divide the
reslts fairly between the captains or
industry and the privates in the ranks.
AS the dividing is done largely by the
captains, it is not unnatural that they
should magnify their part and appro-
pirate too large a share; neither is 1t
unnatural that there should be COM
plant on the part of the toilers who
| think that their recompense is INSULT
cient -
The labor question, therefore, as it
presents itself at this time, is chiefly
question of distribution, and the leg
islation asked for is legislation which
will secure to each that to which his
services entitle him. AS legislation
| is secured through the ballot every
one should use the ballot to obtain the
legislation necessary.
The Democratic platform presents
the ideal toward which the Demo-
cratic party is strivfng-namely, JUS
tice in the distribution of the rewards.
The Democratic party proclaims that
each individual should receive from
society a reward for his toll commons
urate with his contribution to the well
fare of society, and unless some other
party can do the work better, the DEM
ocratic party ought to have the sup
port of all, whether they belong to
the wage-earning class or occupy
positions in which they direct the eff
forts of others.
If any officer in the industrial army
were sure that his children and his
children's children would inherit his
position, he might feel possibly 1nd1f-
| ferent as to those under his command,
but the children of those who today
work for wages may employ the child
rem of those who, in this generation,
are employers.
This uncertainty as to the future
generations, as well as our sense OF
justice, should lead us to make the
government as nearly perfect as pos
sible, for a good government is the
best legacy that parent can leave to
his child. Riches may take the wings
of the morning and fly away, but gov
eminent is permanent, and we can
not serve posterity better than by con-
tributing to the perfection of the gov
eminent, that each child born into
the world may feeel that it has here
an opportunity for the most complete
development, and a chance to secure,
through service the largest possible
happiness and honor"

SPEAKER CANNON.
A Big Obstacle In the Pathway OF Pro-
greSs and Reform.

From the Danville district of IL
lipOis will come returns whcn the
whole country will scan eagerly on
the night of November g. Will there
come the news of a great victory for
progress and intelligence, or the old
story of habit, local pull, and stupid
ruts? I'm Joseph G. Cannon OF IL
linois," wrote William Hard, the
United States now possesses the most
stationary political object ever eX-
hibited within it's boundaries" The
Speaker observed the movement for
pure food and clean meat with disgust.
He was hostile to Senator La Toilet
te's bill endeavoring to give more
human life to railway employees. He
was bitter defender of the spolls
system, and no idea of modern NOR
atty in politics has ever penetrated
his obdurate intellect. He fought the
resumption of specie payments form
erly, as he fights the Appalachian bill
today In small and big things it is
the same. He fought the great and
immeasurably valuable reclamation
bill, as he fights any decent bit OF ar
chitecture or any little public park.
This is the Speaker VINO appoints as
chairman of the Public Lands Com
mittee man who is eager to help all
individuals and corporations exploit
those lands. 1t matters not what 1t
may be; all improvements look
equally bad to him. He packs COM
mittees against them, and thus burles
them. Is it not a disgrace to So
called self-governing nation, which
wishes to be intelligent and free, Which
wishes to PROCESS, that a thick-spirit-
ed old politician shoould be able to
say "No." to the best and strongest
purposes of the nation? If we were
offered the privilege of eliminating
AIdrich, Rockefeller, or Cannon from
influence in America, without hesita-
ton we should choose Cannon as the
most dangerous Of the three. II only
the men of Danville would vote as in
dependent human beings, and not re-
spond, sheeplike and docile, to the
habits of the party and the district!
We fear Mr.. Cannon will be reelected,
and yet, when we remember the dis
graceful way in which a venal Illl-
nois Legislature passed the Allen bill
for the benefit of Yerkes, and the hold
on the Danville Council, which en-
abled the Cannon brothers to seize
part of the public pie before that
scandalous law could be repealed, we
almost believe the new wave of politi-
cal enlightment may strike Danville,
and cause a glorious victory for the
onward march.-Collier's
