One example Of the way the Austri-

OF course the peop7 who read tho

impetuous and impatient. These are

hit the textile rates which new England
now enjoys is undoubted. This will
strengthen the President and his party in
the Middle West especially.
To those familiar with the situation
here it seems almost certain that further
tariff agitation may be expected within
the next two years. The only thing that
can prevent it will be the subsistence of
popular dissatisfaction with it. and this
seems hardly probable.
In his speeches the President will ex-
plain that he signed the new tariff law
because it was the best thing he could get
out of the present Congress. He will put
the matter squarely up to the voters in
the next Congressional election. That
this will be fatal blow for cannonism is
taken for granted.

plea For Recognition Of Maryland
Inventor.

The following plea for the recognition
of Maryland inventor in the forthcoming
Hudson Fulton celebration, is made by
the Baltimore Sun. II will be doubly of
interest to our readers when it is recalled
that James Rumsey was native of this
county, being born on the Bohemia
Manor.
It seems to be remarkable and alto
gether unfortunate omission, says the
Sun, that in the Hudson Fulton cele-
bration no conspicuous honor is. to be
paid TO the memory of James Rumsey,
the inventor of the steamboat
The claims of Rumsey as the inventor
of the steamboat are matters of record
and not open to dispute. More than 20
years before the Clermont was launched
upon the Hudson General Washington
certified that he had been an eyewitness
to successful experiment of Rumsey's
boat, and that he regarded the "dis-
covery'' as of vast importance. That ex-
pertinent took place on the Potomac in
Washington county, Md Although
Rumsey was an American and had been
in arms against England, the British
Government granted him patent-righ.
and he received similar grants from
France and Holland for his invention.
His claims were also acknowledged by
the Legislatures of both Maryland and.
Virginia. both States granting to him the
exclusive right to ply steamboats, upon
their waters. More than so years later
the Congress of the United States rec
ognized Rumsey as the inventor of the
steamboat by voting gold medal to his
only surviving child. So greatly impress
ed was Benjamin Franklin with Rumsey's
invention that he formed and became
president of the Runseyan Society which
raised money and sent Mr.. Rumsey to
England, where he could obtain the ser.
vices of the most skillful mechanics, there
being at the time no steam engine in
America. There on December 81. 1892,
while delivering lecture TO a great
audience to raise money for the final ex-
pertinent of his boat, which was lying in
the Thames, he was stricken with apo.
plexy and died in few hours. So greatly
had he impressed the English people
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1909-09-17

with his merit that his remains were
honored by interment in St. Margaret's,
Westminster. with every mark of respect.
Rumsey was a student Of the mechanic
arts and published one of the earliest
works upon the application of steam.
He was native of Bohemia Manor, in
Cecil county, Maryland, and was near
relative of Benjamin Rumsey, the first
Chief Justice of this State Rumsey was
by trade mill-wright. He entered the
Continental Army in the Revolution, aud
probably attracted the attention of Wash
ington or became known 10 him, for after
the war Washington appointed him
superintendent in the Potomac Navigation
Company. This position probably turned
his attention to steam navigation. While
superintendent he first lived at Sir Johns
Run, near Berkeley Springs, and later at
Shepherdstown, Va. 1t was in the Poto-
mac at these places that his first expert
ments were made.
The method of propulsion adopted by
Rumsey was not by paddle wheels, as in
Fulton's boat. Along the keel of Rum
sey's boat there was hollow trunk, and
amid ships pump which drew the water
in from the front and expelled it at the
stern. The force of this ef1uent water.
with the rough machinery which the in
ventor had made, was sufficient to propelI
the boat at the rate of three miles an
hour against the strong current of the
Potomac river A part of Rumsey's ma
chinery is preserved in the National
Museum at Washington. Fulton, it is
asserted, got many of his ideas from
Rumsey, who. if he had lived, would
have undoubtedly brought his invention
to perfection and been ranked today
among the great achievers Certainly in
such celebration as that in New York
the failure to honor Rumsey is not only
grave injustice, but is the omission of a
logical and interesting historical feature
of the celebration.

There is something fundamentally
wrong in any legislative system in which
the Legislators represent themselves in
stead of their constituents. pointedly re-
marks an exchange. In the United
States senate men having large pecuniary
interests in railroads serve on the railroad
committee. Men financially interested
in tariff schedules act on committees
which fix tariff rates and men largely
interested in banks formulate the laws
governing banking. Can these men be
expected to act fairly and impartially?
How can the plain people expect to have
their rights respected and their interests
guarded SO long as public opinion permits
Legislators to act upon questions in which
they have pecuniary interest adverse to
their constituents? We will not allow a
Judge to try his own case. Why allow a
senator to vote money into his own

Origin OF Appendicitis.

Appendicitis is caused in most cases by
indigestion. The undigested food irri.
tates the intestines. The appendix be-
comes inflamed which soon becomes
chronic. Finally suppuration sets in, a
pus cavity is formed and an acute attack
of appendicitis results. To prevent at
tacks of this fatal disease cure your in
digestion with Rydale's Stomach Tablets.
They will make the whole al;mentary
canal healthy from the stomach to the
lower bowels. No danger of attacks of
appendicitis if the intestines are normal
and healthy. Rydale's Stomach Tablets
will keep them so. Eli T. Reynolds.

The charge that the actions of the
State Roads Commission were controlled
by politics and favoritism stirred up the
meeting of the board held last week, and
Governor Crothers made vigorous de-
NAL, declaring that only the best interests
of the people would be considered, and
that the Commission was carrying on its
work, and proposed to continue to carry
it on, strictly as business proposition.
This is absolutely business PROPOSE
tion," said the Governor. "It is the
peoples own project and no one shall
obstruct it for political purposes. The
commission is going ahead and spend all
the money available this year. The work
is just in its beginning. The roads cam
not be constructed at once, and it was not
contemplated in the act. The people
must be patient and all cannot expect to
have the roads pass in front of their
homes Immediately.
While we wish we could complete the
roads in few months, it is impossible to
do so. We are going right ahead, and as
soon as we let the present contracts others
will be let and each county and the city
will get its share of the improvements. II
the people will investigate and reflect on
what the commission has done and is
doing, they will not find anything to COM
plain of.

publishes two lengthy communications
from II. Maria Dawson, of West Amwell,

bearing pretty hard upon it, too. The
writer of the letters is patron of the
school, and reveals some why's and where
fores of the case. showing the grounds
upon which the directors are waging a
fight which bids fair to result in such a
shaking up of school affairs in the county
as has not taken place in years.

Capitalist papers are these DAYS ha,

Capitalist papers are these days hand
ing the farmer lots of tafy. The total
value of all the crops for 1909 is paraded
as proof that the farmer is exceedingly
prosperous. But you know how pros
porous you are. A total crop of eight
billion dollars, when divided among about
sixteen million farmers, does not spell
big things On the other hand, the total
product of manufacture was something
like fifteen billion dollars, nearly twice
what the product of the farm was, and
this sum is to be divided between less
than half million owners of the industry.
Do little figuring and see how the farm.
ers have prospered as compared with the
captains of industry. Why do you not
hear more of the wonderful product OF
manufacture as proof that the rich are
growing still richer, seeing that that
product was much greater than the pro.
duct Of the farm? 1t is simply because
the papers are handing you jolly for the
purpose. of inducing you to continue to
vote for system of trusts which is en-.
riching others and leaving you poor.

Mrs. Voigt's Funeral

The Presbyterian church was crowded
this afternoon with sympathizing
friends who payed their last tribute of
respect to the memory of Mrs. Fred
Voigt. All were saddened by the thought
that mother in the prime of life had
been taken from her home and that
three small children were left without
q mothers care. >...
The services were conducted by Rev.
George H. Greenfield, the pastor of the
church of which the deceased was a
consistent and active member, assisted
by the choir. Mr. Greenfield spoke
words of consolation and hope to the
bereaved families and paid beautiful
tribute to the memory of their loved
one. The choir: sang beautiful hymns,
that pointed the sorrowing to the never
failing fountain of eternal life. 4
A wealth of floral tributes spoke
eloquently of the respect and esteem
in which Mrs. Voigt was held by those
who knew her. q
When the last words were said and
the last hymn sung, the flower covered
casket, containing the remains of this
loving mother, were borne to the hearse
and followed to the cemetery by large
number of our citizens. There the last
words were said and she was hidden
from mortal sight.
There may her rest be peaceful and
may the memory of her pure, christian
life be consolation to those. who
mourn. God alone can heal their broken
hearts. ...
