BASEBALL NEWS.
Thurm0nt Loses to Frederick

Saturday afternoon last very pretty
game of ball was played at this place be-
tween the home team and the Athletic
Association team from Frederick. The
game was devoid of any marvellous OF
great sensational plays by tielders or
batters, all interest being centered in the
pitchers.
Marshall Reed, Thurmont's veteran
pitcher, was in the box and pitched a
great game allowing but one hit and
striking out II of the Frederick lads.
Lease was in the box for the visitors
and pitched an excellent game. While
he was touched up little more frequent
than his opponent, it amounted to nought.
and but three safe hits were made by the
home team. He struck out II men.
Frederick scored their only run in the
fourth, due to wild throw 10 first base.

WANTS REASSESSMENT.

Governor Crothers has declared
himself to be in favor of new as
sesSmcnt of property throughout the
whole State. This means that in his
next message to the General Assem-
hly he will urge the passage of a law
cnbodying his ideas.
Thirteen years have elapsed since
there has been a general reassessment
of property in Maryland.
Governor Crothcrs thinks the time
is ripe for another reassessmcnt. He
thought so when he was inaugurated
as Governor, nearly two years ago,
and bill was prepared embodying
his views.
Governor Crothers, speaking on this

little ground for hoping that he can
accomplish that end, but it is prob
able his efforts will have some effect
in modifying the Senate duties.
The President, after taking his
family to his summer home at Bev-
erly, Massachusetts, and attending
the Ter-centcnary celebration OF the
discovery of Lake Champlain, return

subject, said:
Maryland has made great pro-
gress in recent years. Our agricult-
ural and other interests have advanc-
ed to remarkable, | might say, to
a phenomenal degree. We must have
a new assessment of property through
out the State under general law
which will mean a, fair, square deal
to all the people.
1--WE have a general statute under
which a reassessment is possible.
That is not enough. We want gem
eral reassessment law by which all
the counties will be treated alike.
Take Baltimore city, for instance.
The taxation laws for the city are SO
flexible that real and personal prop
erty in the city can be SO taxed as to
meet the burdens of an expensive
government. Thus, while Baltimore
city is subject to almost daily read
justments in property values and tax
alton, the counties 60 along under an
old system. This is not fair to the
city. In other words, Baltimore is
bearing it's full share of taxation bur-
dcns.
Now to come back to the great
increase in the values of farming land
in the counties. Reassessments UNI
der the local law in Worcester and
Summerset counties have demonstra-
ted the possibilities of additions to
the taxable basis of other counties.
Why should not the taxable basis in
other counties be increased under
State supervision?
That is the point.
"Why should there not be State
wide reaSSeSSment law?
Is not the point plain that under
a general reasscssment law Baltimore
city and the counties will be placed
upon an equality?
IL am convinced that if we can
secure a new assessment law Tor the
whole State, that if the taxation bur
dens can be placed where they prop
erly belong, we can look forward to
a reduction of our State tax rate from
ii cents to 10 cents on the 500 and
ut the same time, there will be sutli-
cient State revenues to meet State APP
preparations and State needs, includ-
ing an extension of our good roads
system, State care of our unfortunate
insane and of our prisoners. y

WASHINGTON LETTER.
lFROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. }

WASHINGTON. ID. c., july 10.
With the precision of perfectly
designed and adequately oiled mech
anism the Republican majorities in
the two houses of Congress have pass
ed the tariff bill to its final stage and
it is now in the hands of the confer
encc committee to which is delegated
the onerous task of adjusting the diff
fcrcnces between the bills passed by
the two houses of Congress. The
vote on the bill in the Senate stood
A. to 81, ten Republicans voting IA
gainst the measure and one Demo-
crat, Mr.. McEncry of Louisiana, for
it. The Republicans voting against
the bill all belonged to the insurg-
ent camp" and were perfectly con-
sistent in their course, having voted
against most of the amendments put
on the bill in the Senate. There are
few of the ten who would have voted
against the bill had their votes been
necessary to pass it, but, with an
ample majority of those who APPROX
ed its provisions, they cast negative
votes as an expression of protest
against the Senate increases and with
the hope that their course would
strengthen the House confcrrees in
their demand that the lower rates of
the House be substituted for those
imposed by the Senate.
At noon following the passage of
the bill by the Senate, the House met
and after an hour and thirty minutes
debate adopted resolution which
sent the bill to conference forthwith,
the vote by which that was accomp-
lished being Us to Isl. OF course
there were the usual loud cries of pro-
test from the Democrats, the same
wall against the precipitancy of the
House which they invariably employ
and which is so lacking in sincerity
that many Of the minority are wholly
unable to maintain straight faces as
their colleagues beat the air and full
inmate against the same course as
the House adopted in the case of the
Wilson bill, when the Democrats en-
joyed an ample ma ority. The Re-
publicans have become so accustomed
to the course of the opposition that
it occasions them no concern and they
pursue the even tenor of their way
with the calmness and complacency
of steam roller.
The utmost interest attaches to the
course of the President with regards
to the bill. He has scrupulously kept
his hands off until now but has init
mated that once the bill went to con-
ference he would exert all the infiu-
ence he could command to secure the
adoption of the lowest duties fixed
by each house, OF course there is

TO INSPECT ORCHARDS.

The appointment was announced
Friday last at the Maryland Agricul-
tural College of a number of local in
spectors of the State Horticultural
Department, who were given course
at the College last winter and will
begin the inspection of the orchards
of the State within the next week for
the San Jose scale and peach ycllows.
G. f. Klein is named as inspector
for Frederick county.
Certain election districts of each
county of the State are inspected each
summer. The local inspectors visit
the orchards of their districts and are
directed to request the growers to ac-
company them to their orchards,
Thus the inspectors can point out to
the growers any injurious insect pest
or plant disease that may be present
among the trees and give them the
best information known as to its
control.
The funds of the State Horticulture
al Department will allow only IA GER
tain area of the State to be Inspected
each year, but the conduct of the
work under present propositions has
been of great benefit to the orchard
interests of the State in controlling
the ravagrs of san Jose scale and
peach yrllowS.

WHY ADVERTISE AT ALL?

In this age and generation every
progressive merchant persistently
keeps his advertisement before the
public, telling just what he has to sell,
how good it is and the reason you
should buy.
While this is true with the great
majority, yet we see numbers OF mer-
chants and business men who believe
little or nothing in the advertising
business; if their methods were to be
adopted by the great mass Of advcr-
tisers, the question would be, why
advertise at all?
1t seems to be the rule with mer-
chant or business man of the nom
progressive type, that if he has the
goods and he sells them right, each
satisfied customer becomes a living
advertisement for him and tells 9TH
ers of this merchants wares. Quite
true. This is one means of giving
publicity to what you have to sell,
but did you ever stop to think how
limited this is in its scope? The live
man of today wants his stock to move
before the other fellows and he wants
to turn his profits over several times
while the commodity is new, or the
style lasts, or the season is ON. Each
community has its full quota of both
types of persons mentioned above.
1t may seem that the printer would
be imbucd with purely selfish motives
in haranguing about merchants Civ
ing publicity to his business through
the medium of the newspaper, but
not 50 the case altogether The pub
fisher desires advertisements of the
merchants it is true, but he is dcsir-
Gus of seeing his people progress and
make money, and does not want it to
bc said that cobwcbs are growing over
any merchants door for lack of pub
lcity.
This paper wants to see the town
move forward, and it wants to see it,
merchants up-tO-date and make mon
ey, for they can't prosper without our
getting some of it somewhere and in
some way.
Just 50 with the town. We ought
to advertise our town, but after hav-
ing given it due publicity, we want
to be able to take care of all who may
desire to come within her borders in
the best way possible. There is on
record somewhere the fact that Bus
iuess Men 5 Association once existed
here, but it is memory. 1t had
number Of good resolutions and start
rd to procure bcttcrmcntS for the
town, but progressive threw Il
block in the way and that was the
last of it, and ever since that, the
town has utterly failed to try and get
IL move on'.
We have succeeded, not because of
ourselves but in spite Thereof, in bring
ing our town to great prominence as
hcalthful summer resort. Humid
reds of persons come here each sum
mer, and many hundreds are kept
away for lack of facilities. No better
opening is there anywhere than here
for summer hotel, yet we are utter
ly lacking in progrcssivcncss, and the
erection of one seems to be in the dim
distant future.
There is a great field here for the
Ms" of printers ink. There is still
greater field here for a number of
progressive citizens to push the town
forward They don't seem to reside
here, but we hope to have them come
and we. believe there will be hearty
welcome from quite Il few of our citi-
Gems. Some will endeavor to give
them the lemon" no doubt, but
that spirit will be found everywhere.
