HE Maryland Republicans are hopeful OF
\ carrying all six Of the six congressional
districts Of that state solidly this year In 1896
when Mr.. Bryan for the first time was a candi-
date for President the Republicans won all the
districts of Maryland and they repeated that vic
tory four years later when Mr.. Bryan again
headed the Democratic ticket AT present there
are three Democratic and three Republican
members of Congress from Maryland, but the
Republican leaders say the chances favor their
repeating the success won when Bryan led the
ticket
The Maryland Democrats are split badly over
Bryan. He had a few delegates from the State
at the Denver convention but the majority Of
the delegation was opposed to him. The feel
ing in Baltimore against Bryan has been par
tcularly strong and there is no evidence of its
changing Altogether it looks as though the
Republicans would carry Maryland without
much trouble and they are encouraged to be-
lieve that the wave for Taft will spread over
into Virginia and largely swell the Republican
vote in that State.
The Democratic majority in Virginia has not
been very large of recent years. Many infuen-
tia white Democrats have Joined the Republi-
can party in the State since the race question
has not been prominent in the State and al
together the Republicans have encouragement
to make an aggressive campaign in the old do
minion.

IS FORAKER A DowN-AND-oUra

ATS managers in Ohio evidently fear not
the fangs of Senator Foraker because if
there is anything that would make the senator
angry, it was the snub that was deliberately
given him in the arrangements for the opening OF
the campaign in that State. Not Foraker but
Governor Hughes of New York, is to be the star
orator on the occasion Significant is it that Just
at the time when the leaders in New York are
trying to put Hughes under the microscope to see
how large he is in comparison with Woodruff
the Ohio managers have limited that Hughes is of
rather good size, fit to open the campaign in Can
didate Taft's home State
The disregard of Foraker has extended so far
that the Ohio leaders are already picking his sue
cessor for the United States Senate, and unless
Mr.. Foraker can develop strength and show that
he IS not ready to be laid on the shelf it is highly
improbable that he will succeed himself
In fact it looks as if the Ohio Taft managers
reckoned the Foraker opposition as of little or no
strength. They should know their business Per
haps they were uncertain what the senator would
say, If called upon. 1t would be out of harmony
with the present campaign for Foraker to make
long harangue in defence of predatory coroora-
tons, elephantine wealth, and so the Taft men
will have. none of it. But what of Foraker's
strength 1t has been with the Interests" and
when called to show itself it does not amount to
much The political strength of such corpora
tons usually is based upon bluff. although the
people seldom have an opportunity to call il.

The Business of FARMING.

Indianapolis STAR
We are Just awakening to the fact
that the value Of farm land is rapidly
Increasing in America Ever since the
discovery Of the continent there have
been vast tracts of unoccupied land
subject to free settlement until now.
We have at last filled Up the continent
and all the land worth tilling is under
ownership. We are doing much by
irrigation to reclaim tho arid lands,
but these are rapidly filled up as soon
as they are made tillable.
Relieved of the pressure of vacant
lands there can be no doubt that the
value of farms viii continue to rise and
the value Of farm products win rise
with them. The present depression in
the commercial and Industrial world
has caused no drop in the price Of farm
products. no particular decrease in the
cost Of living; indeed. It has increased,
II measured by wages.

Once in awhile, as under the initiative and refer
endum vote in this city during the city election,
there is chance to get the real sentiment of the
mass of voters upon these questions
The summoning of Hughes as a speaker at the
Ohio gathering shows that the ideals for which
Hughes, Taft and those of that brand stand, will
be pushed forward in the campaign. There is no
facing about by the Republican managers, and
that is why there seems to be so little chance of
the election of Mr.. Bryan.

SINGULAR Effect OF War.

All England Is suffering from
shortage In the butter market, with
consequent prices higher than known
before for many years
The principal cause, according to
British authority. is that the Russo
Japanese conflict had the effect of cut
ting off large portion of the butter
supply. England is still getting less
and less butter from Siberia-where
the product is grassy, well made and
of good texture - because the war
first taught the Siberian producers
10 send their butter east instead
of west
While the campaign lasted they got
into the habit of sending supplies TO
the Russian army. and when peace was
declared they discovered that Japan,
Korea and Manchuria were better mar
kets than England and Germany.
