it has been and promises to be. But
the wise Senate leaders have put the
brakes on debate in half dozen ways.
They have kept frebrand topics in the
background. There has been hardly a
zip about the duties on crude petroleum
and its products and for very good
| reason. The Finance Committee pro-
crastinated and procrastinated about
| making its report on those products and,
indeed, has not reported yet. Speeches
en- oil would have been spoken and
reiterated many times before this, if
certain Senators could have official evil
dence of what the duties were to be-
The House of Representatives, through
many of its members, would have added
to the agitation and, whatever the de-
cision of the committee, there would
have been protests and petitions pour
ing in from the country. That would
have" aggravated the situation.
That is only one case, The Finance
Committee, it is known, intends to raise
the duties on gronnd pulp and on print
paper. But there has been no official
recommendation yet and SO the subject
has not been debated. Before the re-
port is made, the orators will be more
or less worn out by constant battling
and the committees program in that
particular can be carried more easily.
Thus are tariff bills passed by such
masters of tactics and strategy as now
rule the United States Senate.
The publicity feature is not to be
overlooked as very important in con-
nection with the Senate S performance
which has already worn away two
months and more Of Congressional time.
1t is said that never before have the
the daily newspapers of the country
published 50 little of a tariff debate as
this summer But it is equally true
that never before were so exhaustive
and 80 detailed discussions of tariff ever
held in the Senate.
Even the acrimonious exchanges
become so numerous, whether between
Democrats and Republicans or between
low tariff and high tariff Senators, that
they are almost commonplace. One
Senator can call another liar in parIia-
mentary terms nowadays without at
tracing any particular attention.
All the same every word of the great
debate is taken down and preserved.
MANY a tvpo over at the Government
Printing Office has been saved a job
through the summer months because
Senators are prolific at talking. The
blue lights blaze forth from the top
floors, where the composing rooms are,
till along into the morning, while the
typesetting machines rattle away cast

CIRCUIT COURT WAS IN
SESSION BUT TWO DAYS
Ard Then Took a Recess Until Mon
day Morning, March 29th.

The regular March non-jury term of
the Circuit Court for Garrett county
convened Monday morning, the 18th
inst, with Chief Justice A Hunter
Boyd presiding, and at noon on Tuesday
took recess until Monday, March 29th,
when the session will be recOnvened and
the cases appearing on the several dock
cts will be taken up and disposed of
Associate Judge Robert R. Henderson
was expected to.convene court Monday
but he has not fully recovered from a
recent attack of illness, hence it was
deemed unwise by Judge Henderson
physicians for their patient to expose
himself to the rigors of the weather
usually prevailing in Garrett county at
this season of the year. Judge Hender-
son is deservedly popular in Garrett
county, the people approaching to
marked degree the judicial ability dis
played at all times and under all circum-
stances by him and trust that he may
speedily be restored to his accustomed
robust health.
While Judge. Henderson is popular
both on and off the bench, Chief Judge
Boyd is also deservedly popular with
Garrett countians.
Very few cases We're disposed of dur
ing the two days session Of court, the
witnesses summoned being absent or the
MISUNDERSTANDING the hearings postpon-
ed until later session Of court.
A number Of judgments were entered
in uncontested cases.
The appeal case of Mrs. Mary Pysell
VS., JohnsMiller, appealed from Just ce
Hoye's ldecision, involving the sum of
Sc, was gone into but not completed at
the hour of adjournment 1t will be re-
sumed on the 2yth INST.
The attachment case of Charles F.
Dawson VS.. ?. T. Cartwright, appealed
from Justice Kerfoot's decision, was
concluded by the Court quashing the
attachment proceedings, resulting in a
verdict forlDawson.
The trespass case of John T. Mitchell
VS. Eli Stanton ct al. will be submitted
to the Court upon an agreed statement
of facts and argued by the attorneys
before Judge Boyd in Cumberland on
Saturday.

WIFE DESERTERS.

When the wolf comes to the door
that is the time to try mems souls.
Also, it seems, it is the time to try their
manhood and their sense of responsible
ty to those dependents for whose physi-
cal and moral well-being they vir .ually
pledged themselves when the state gave
them the privilege Of mating in mar
riage. With the ceremony over the
duty of the state and of society really
ceases. Thenceforward it is up to"
the man to show that he is the proper
caliber to take on the duties and obliga-
tions of family life. 1t is pleasant to
reflect on the large percentage of men
who measure up adequately to the task
imposed, theoretically, at least by the
state. 1t is disheartening, on the other
hand, to learn that many are willing to
Zee away from and disavowed these
and misfortune-th the very time when the
wife and mother is in greatest need of
protecting hand-a hand more master
full and one intended by nature land the
state) to cope with the worlds rebuffs.
Thousands of men," says an Albany
dispatch, "are deserving their wives
and children in New York because they
cannot find work" A melancholy state
of affairs, to be sure! Did not these
men remember the VOW to cherish and
protect" Did they make sacrifice that
their wives and children might escape
starvation? Doubtless a number of
them fled with little or no thought of
those for whose protection they pledged
themselves at the marriage altar.
He is miserable coward who deserts
his wife and his children at any time
How much more of craven is the
wretch who sneaks away in time of adj
versity, leaving the struggle of life for
mother and children to the weak hands
of woman?.

Strikers Stir Up Excitement.

Tunnelton. W. Va, was thrown into
wild state of excitement Sunday af-
ternoon. John s. Douglas and Claude
Mankins, two of the leading strikers,
practically held up the town and as
saulted George Laughry and George
Getty, two of the cOmpany's workmen.
Getty was assailed in a restau ant. In
defending himself, Getty fioored Doug
las with malt bottle. Douglas and
Mankins were arrested and placed in
the lookup, but were released by the
mayor and left for parts unknown.
Both of these strikers were among
those recently enjOined. The caring

what is a home without a paper?"
A home without newspaper is no home
at all. 1t is a kind of dreary den-a
rendezvous of bedbugs and feas, where
the Inhabitants live in blissful ignorance
of what the world is doing 1t is in
habited by class who do not know who
is president or what he is president of
who never find out that a thing has
happened until every one else has for
gotten it. The children grow up in rags
and dirt, while the wife generally finds
consolation in darning socks and Juggling
a pipe loaded with long, green tobacco,
and the man generally lives because he
can't die and he is too lazy to kill him
self. He goes out on election days. and
does not know who he is voting for, but
just takes the ticket bearing the name

out but because he seems to be unaware
that it exists elsewhere.

fourth of the schoolhouses in the county
do not have even the means of lowering

admit that it is an evil and should be
corrected in the Oakland school, but |
would like to ask you a question:
Wherein are the pupils of the Oakland
schools better than the farmers boys
and girls in the county?
If the Oakland pupils must have this
protection at any cost do not other pupils
require it, too. 1t seems also that our
Patrons" picture is some what over
drawn and the danger is not so grave.

SCRUB PINE AS PULP MATERIAL
The Long Neglected Jersey Scrub
Pine Has a Use.

The long-neglected and despised scrub
OF Jersey pine, growing on the abandon
ed farms and cut-over lands of the East,
seems destined at least to have reached
its rghtful place as material of value,
according to the results obtained through
recent pulp and paper making tests at
the United States Forest Service labor
atories in Washington.
While there is a considerable amount
of this wood standing as timber, it has
heretofore used only in very desultory
fashion, and then mostly as fuel.
About 500, 900 acres, or 20 percent of
the wooded area of Maryland, about
1870 900 acres, or 10 per cent of that of
Virginia, is covered with fairly dense
stands, while the broad range of the
tree extends along the Atlantic seaboard
from Southern New York to South Car
DINA, and bac over the Appalachians
to central Indiana, where its largest
specimens are found.
w illC q HuHlOcI u Hills nave uStu
scrub pine for the manufacture of soda
pulp and ground wood, no plants have
ever operated the sulphite process.
Scrub pine might have been used to
good advantage long ago, but for the
fact that it did not seem to the practi-
cal paper maker even worthy of trial.
By only slight changes Of the regular
cooking treatment which is ordinarily
accorded pulp wood in the sulphte pro
cess, however, it has now yielded a
pulp product which has been faVorably
commented upon by numerous members
of the paper trade as a substitute for
spruce sulphlte in the manufacture of
news paper.
When a forest of scrub pine is ma
tured, a fully-stocked stand will yield
thirty to forty cords per acre, when
economically harvested. according to
practical forestry methods. At the
present time there is practically no
general use for the timber, outside of
fuel, although coarse lumber is made
of it and it is sometimes used for
fencing. An evidence of the low esteem
in which this pine is held is the price
the Maryland wood brings when deliv-
cred IS. Is per cord.

SUPPORT OF HOME PAPER.
Merchants Urged to Back Local Ad-
yertising Medium 20 the Limit.

An appreciative view of the home
newspaper is given in the Office Outfit
ter of Chicago from which We make the
following extracts:
Many good town isn't worth a cent
because the local newspaper is neglect
ed Many good merchandising center
is dead because the men in business
treat the editor of the newspaper as an
object of charity. This is wrong. The
local paper is the greatest thing in the
community. 1t should be supported. 1t
should Je read and patrOnized. The
merchants who think they are clever
and smart when they slip one over on
the local paper make a big mistake.
Every dollar you take away from the
local newspaper in schemes and knocks
hurts the town. 1t hurts business, and
most of ALL it hurts the merchants who
indulge in it.
Whatever else you merchants do pa
tronize your home paaer. Don't tell
me that it has small circulation. Don't
tell me that you reach ten times as
many people with less expense using
circulars. Don't spring any of those
time worn gags on me at all. Stop
standing in your own light. Get behind
the local paper and push it for all you
are worth. | don't mean push it to the
wall. Push it up grade to position
where it ought to be, and as sure as you
are alive you will push your own bust
ness up with it to point you never
dreamed of before.
When a man tells me that he reaches
more people and gets better results
from his circulars knew that he is de-
ceiving himself and telling me what |
can prove to be untrue. A newspaper
in the community is read by the people.
They learn to watch for it, and when
they get it every member of the family
wants to see what it says. Ads. and
all are read. If the merchants of
community will educate the people to
look in the newspaper for their an
nouncements the people will read the
paper more and greater will be the re-
turns.
There is no alley so long but that has
its ash barrels. and there is no
knock so powerful or subtle but that it
reacts. Do yourself favor and keep
up your end by supporting the local
newspaper, and support it for all you
are worth.
1t can be added that whatever the
local papers do to help their city or town
is of benefit to every business man
therein. Chelsea Mass Record.
