Suggestion For Senator
Calvert, July 81, Io

calvert, July Fl, 1909.
Mr.. Editor:--lt is quite generally
believed, in this neghborhood, on what
appears to be excellent authority, that
Mr.. Charles A. Benjamin, the present
very capable and efficient County Com
missioner, will not accept renomina-
ton for the position he now holds
II Mr.. Benjamin, in fact. reached
tina. conclusion, II is to be regretted
ON more grounds than one. He has
been, for nearly four years, as is well
known, the controlling and directing
force in the Board OF County Commits
Sloncrs. He has given to the people
an illustration OF what a County Com
missioner should be and he has dis
iayed qualities OF the best and high
est order in the management OF county
affairs.
Doubtless. he has aroused, as against
himself, some antagonism, because he
could not be swerved from the con-
Ncicntious discharge OF public duty but,
III the long run, the course he has
pursued. surely, will commend him TO
the considcrate judgment OF his fell
| ow-citZcns
The services OF such man to the
public ought not to be lost. and, il he
cannot be induced to stand again for
County Commissioner, many persons
in this section think it would be we'll
for the Republican party to name him
as It's candidate for the Senate OF
Maryland
The writer has had no communica-
ton, whatever, with Mr. Benjamin. on
the subject and the suggestion made
in this letter is the result only OF a
desire to secure. as the representative
Of the people. in the Senate OF the
State, a good. clean. honest and cap
| able man. Yours truly,

great confidence in his fathers judgment

the result of the election seems, along with
other things, to be a victory for mild un-
orthodoxy, if not for extreme unorthodoXy,
such as you and l advocate. Even the Re-
publican circulars sent out here to counter
act these orthodox attacks, stated that Lin
coin, Cleveland, Grant and Hayes were not

toned them about the divinity of Christ.

however, its literary and scientific merits,
or it's reformatory and human tendencies,
are not considered at all There is only one
question, will it pay? Publishers do not
print books written by persons without an
established reputation. There are funds for
Libraries, for buying ready-made books but
not for creating new literature. There are
appropriations for printing a great deal Of
worthless matter transacted by legislatures
or scientific bodies. There are millions
contributed by the members of churches
for the PRONUNCIATION of the bible,-but
there are no organizations of progressive
people, Freethinkers, Materialists, Social
lists, or whatever their name may be,-able
the propagation of their cause 1t is less
the individual indifference than the lack or
organization, which is responsible for the
feeble and timid liberal propaganda There
are many people prevented by circumstances
from joining or supporting the rational
movement
Accepting these conditions, the publica-
ton is considered as business enterprise
which is expected to return a profit, and to
the parties who furnish the necessary
means the manuscript will be delivered on
terms suited to attain that object.

favorable to the defendant
Marietta Wolf, cook in the Stein

that the defendants illness after the

Borderel, wealthy merchant, whom
the state assumes Nine. Steinheil de-

The state circumstantial case
