Forest Trees For Planting And
Arbor Day Trees.

The State Forester announces that there
hardy catalpa trees at the State Expert
ment Station for free distribution to land
owners in the State who will plant them
according to directions, Two hundred of
these one year old seedlings will be sent
each applicant by express; he to pay
charges, as long as the supply lasts, and
along with the seedlings will go the
proper directions for planting. All APP.
plications should be made to the State
Forester, Johns Hopkins University, Bal
timore, Maryland, and each applicant
should describe the kind of soil in which
he proposes to plant, whether wet, moist,
or dry. and whether heavy, medium, or
light so he may receive the right kind of
trees for his purpose. The two hundred
trees will require from one eight to one
quarter acre of ground depending on the
distance apart they are planted. On ac
cepting the offer the trees become the
property of the land owner and all that is
required of him is to-give the trees proper
care, keep record of the planting, and
to report progress occasionally when re-
quested. Public schools in the state
desiring very small locust or catalpa
trees for planting on Arbor Day can
secure two of each kind or four of one
kind by mail if application is made 10
the State Forester enclosing twenty-five
cents for postage and packing
The offers are made to stimulate an it,
terest in tree planting which promises in
few years to become prominent feature
of forestry work. There certainly is no
better way to celebrate Arbor Day in the
true spirit than by planting a grove of
trees to protect the farm buildings or to
Utilize some waste lands to good adj
vantage.

tiles and round up the Anarchists. 1t is
expected by the Department of Com
merce and Labor that there will be a
wholesale deportation within a short
time. Under the present Federal law all
criminal aliens who have not been in the
United States three years or more may be
deported arbitrarily.
The plan of the Government is to weed

even more thoroughly than is now done,
the criminals. In this it is probable that
the United States will suggest the for
nation of an international bureau of
espionage, though that probably will not
be its name.
The American Government also will,
through cooperation with local authori-
ties everywhere. constantly weed out the
less-than-three.y immigrants who by
their actions or affiliations show an
archistic tendencies.
The opinion in Administration circles
is that while the United States is and
must continue to be haven of refuge,
United States authorities have been,
while not negligent, too lenient. This is
said to have been the result of traditional
policies. Now the policy is to be
changed. and a cleaning ont of Anar-
chists is the Governments program.

Governor Crothers took the Senate by
surprise Monday when, just before ad.
journment, he sent to it a special message
containing the appointment of number
of special commissions to whom be dele
gates power of investigation upon inn

In the message the Governor made a
number of recommendation along broad
lines, which he hopes will result in the
enactment by the next Legislature,
which will convene in the middle of his
term, of legislation demanded by the in.
terests of the people.
All of the recommendations were along
the lines of good government. resrench-

welfare of the people. In sending his
message to the Senate the Governor es-
tablished precedent.

The republicans having apparently
tagged the Senatorial Primary Election
bill when it came up on Monday for con-
sideration, the democrats resorted to a
trick in the closing hours of the session
to get it through, by lacking it onto the
bill to regulate primary elections in Anne
Arundel county, as an amendment. In
this form, in spite of vigorous opposition
upon the part Of the republicans and with
the votes of seven democrats against it,
the bill went through the House. It
applies to both the republican and the
democratic parties and legalizes the sys-
tenn that prevailed in the Senatorial
primaries last November.
Among the seven democrats who voted
against the bill, was Delegate Squier of
Cecil, these democrats claiming that the
bill did not fulfill the pledges of their
party made in the platform on the SUBJ
ject, which contention, it must be ad.
mitted, is not without foundation, as the
law as passed does not in any sense pro.
vide for the choice of candidates by direct
popular vote.

SECRET WRITING.
6Sow Letters May Be Made Safe From
Frying Eyes.

Frying Eyes.
Even with the most unromantic Of
us occasions sometimes arise when we
should like to make some memoran-
dunn or write some letter which cannot
be read except by those we wish to do
SO. Here is simple method:
Soak a sheet of note paper in cold
water and lay it perfectly fiat upon a
pane of glass. Place above it another
lheet, dry this time, and on the upper
sheet write your message with fairly
hard pencil. You now destroy the dry
paper and allow all the moisture to
evaporate from the wet piece. Don't
hold it to the-fre, but let it dry nat
urally. If you then examine it close
ly you will see not the faintest trace Of
writing, but If you moisten the paper
once more and hold it up to the light
you can read quite plainly all you
wrote. 1t will show up like the water
mark on postage stamp. This meth
cd, by the way, is sometimes adopted
by convicts. They use their Cruel
cans instead of glass and a sharp piece
of wood for a pencil.
Another way is less dirty and even
more effective. Lay several sheets Of
paper on fiat surface and write upon
the top one. Then remove the bottom
sheet, on which no impression appears.
If you hold this in the vapor of iodine,
however, the writing will turn brown
and be quite legible. The explanation
Is plain. The note paper conta
starch, which on being pressed turns
to hydramide. a substance which is
acted on by iodine in the manner de-
scribed.-Answers.

FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1908.

The Maryland Legislature came to a
close Monday at midnight, after ninety
day session, and almost everyone is glad
Of it,-even the legislators themselves.
The responsibility for the record made,
whether good, bad or Indifferent, must be
shouldered by the democratic party, as it
was in undisputed control, and while a
number of excellent laws were enacted,
certain it is that in but two instances of
FIVE important platform pledges were the
ante.election promises of the party kept,
jim spite of the insistance of Governor
Crother. who repeatedly urged that faith
be kept with the people. but to little
avail, as he was thwarted by the machi.
nations of Smith, German, and other of
the party leaders who evidently consid-
cred the platform had served its purpose
by helping then, attain their political
aspirations.
In the case of the enactment of cor
rupt practices act and good roads law,
faith was kept, but insofar as the primary
election laws providing for direct nomi
nations by popular vote of the people.
are concerned, those passed are but mis-.
cradle make-believes, while the Oyster
Culture law was tempered with in a way
which impairs its effectiveness
Probably more general interest center
ed in these measures, to which the party
was pledged, than others, and but two of
them measure up to the promises made.
while the democratic leaders alone are
responsible for the shortcomings of the
others. 1t, too, was mainly through the
efforts of their sewly elected United
States Senator that the promised legisla-
ton in the interest of the people was
defeated. and if this is any criterion of
what is to be his record in the Senate, it
clearly points to that of politician and
not statesman or representative of the
people.

Despite the fight made by Governor
Crothers for primary election bill that
would provide for direct nominations by
the people, and redeem the party pledges
made in the platform, Senator Smith,
Senator German and other party bosses
did not look upon platform pledges and
aute.election promises in serious light
and objected to the passage of anything
but the weakest sort of primary election
bill, which they were careful to frame to
suit themselves.
Governor Grothers was backed by the
progressive element of his party, but the
reactionaries SHE'D at everything that
promised by popular vote to place the
choice of candidates in the hands of the
people and curtail the power of the
slate makers.
The bill provides for the nomination of
all candidates for county Offices and for
judicial and Congressional Offices by a
direct vote of the voters of the respective
parties, or by the convention system as
may be determined upon by the State
central committees of the several parties
in the respective counties.
Candidates for State offices, such as
Governor, Attorney-General, Comptroller
and clerk of the Court of Appeals, are to
be nominated by direct vote of the regis
tered voters of their party in the several
counties aud legislative districts of Balti.
more city, upon the same plan as that
followed in the last democratic primaries
for United States Senator.
In Cecil county. at the instance of Gov
ernor Crothers. the nominations of all
the candidates for county offices will be
by direct vote, without any discretion in
the party, committees to direct the con.
ventiou plan.

The politicians fooled the people agai

The politicians fooled the people again
in the matter of Legislative expenses. At
the beginning Of the session, in Difference
to public clamor, they deemed it advis-
able to make bluff at cutting down
expenses and the bill to appropriate
$aoo. 600 to pay for the session was pared
down 10 $r7o,ooo and passed. This
looked like square deal and the tax
payers Of the State thought $50, 1000 had
been saved. but in the light of later de-
velopments. the politicians knew that
another guess was coming. That $50, 900
had string to it. and during the closing
week of the session among the bills
crowded through with rush was deic-
iency measure appropriating 10000
additional of the State funds for Legisla-
tive expenditures. 1t was a pretty
schrewd game and worked out without a
hitch at the flag end of the session when
public protest would be of little avail.
A better plan to cut down legislative
expenses would be to lop off about thirty
days of the session and then our law
makers would not have as much of an
opportunity to waste time and money by
the days and days of quibbling that
transpire at ever session.

Political experts and prognosticators
see little split in the Republican party
which some predict will result in big
cleavage. Mr.. Hepburn and Mr.. Cannon
represent the antagonistic element in the
Republican party. Mr.. Hepburn belongs
to the class of men that has faith and
nerve to demonstrate it by works. Mr..
Cannon, who is up in the seventies, be-
longs to the laisez faire element of the
Republican party who believe in letting
well enough or bad enough alone.
During the last week or two Mr.. Hepburn
and Mr.. Roosevelt have put their heads
together and arranged Legislative pro-
gram, but when Mr.. Hepburn presented
it in the House, it was referred to the
Judiciary Committee through the in
iuence of Mr.. Cannon. The Judiciary
Committee is the provervial tomb of all
legislation that the One. Man. Power of the
House desires to effectually smother.
But Mr.. Hepburn and many Republicans
and very many Democrats wish to see
this legislation euancted before the close
of Congress. aud it is predicted by some
that there will be split in the Repub.
lican Congressional ranks which may, in
the near future, result in the succession
of Mr.. Hepburn to the speakership.
