AN OBSOLESCENT ORACLE

Our incomprehensible contemporary, the
Baltimore Sun. appears to be in fearful
misery because its brethren Of the coun-
try press of Maryland" have utterly repu-
dated its oracular and presumptuous in
structions to them as to the position they
should take with respect to the matter of
increased representation for Baltimore in
the State Legislature. The Sun thus mourn
fully complains of the needless and rebel
lious county press
With one consent our esteemed con-
temporaries say that Mr.. Harry J. Hopkins.
Of the Comproller's Office. has shown from
the reports of his Office that Baltimore con-
tributes only 81 per cent. of the revenues
of the State"
Again walls the Sun. in deep distress:
MIR. Hopkins figures, says the Cecil
Democrat, come from the Office where the
revenue is received and must be au-
thentic."
Once more the obsolescent oracle breaks
forth in dismal groans
The country people, says our esteemed
friend. the Snow Hill Messenger. are getting
very tired of the harpines Of the Baltimore
newspapers. and we have been asked by the
business men Of this section to say so, and
also to say that never by our consent will
the power to control the Legislature of the
State be placed in the hands Of Baltimore.
The Hartford Democrat declares that repre-
sentation of the city in proportion TO its
population would be contrary to good poll
cy and against the best interests OF the
State. The Laurel Leader goes so far as to
threaten that If we ask representation ac-
cording TO population we will get nothing
The Cecil Star says that it is not so much
increased representation that is needed,
but better representation"
The fact of the matter is that the county
papers Of the entire State have learned to
estimate the deliverances Of the Sun at
their proper value. or, in many cases. TO
speak more correctly. their utter lack of
value. We are. therefore. not the least
surprised to learn from the Sun itself that
it has come to be an obsolescent oracle. to
which the county press no longer gives
much heed; and we must confess that we
have very little sympathy for the Sun in
its dire dilemma. for that newspaper has
no one but itself to blame for the predica-
ment in which it now finds itself Its
equivocal and unaccountable course with
respect to politics in the last campaign
could have had no other result than TO ut
terly destroy its influence with the county
press. as well as the confidence Of the
Democratic masses Of the State.
Who can give credit to a newspaper
which cries down Roosevelt and cries up
Taft as the superior Of Bryan. while Taft
himself is landing Roosevelt as pink of
perfection. an ideal statesman. and a sec

HANSON WINS.

Ole Hanson's anti-race track bill
has passed both houses at Olympia and
now only waits the signature OF the
governor to become a law. That this
signature will be Forthcoming there is
no question, and aside from losing the
emergency clause, which would have
made the law effective at once instead
of June /, as is now The case, the bill
will be written into the state statutes
as it came. from the pen Of the Sc
attic legislator.lD
The removal of the emergency clause
will permit at least a part Of the spring
meet at The Meadows, Seattle's' big
race track, this year, and thirty-days'
racing. beginning May 1, will mark the
end of the king of sports in wash
ington.
That the law will operate to rad1-
cany change the programs at county
fairs is generally admitted, for with
betting cut out it is not likely that
there will be much racing at any OF
the states fairs, and those who go to
HE fair grounds will have to be con-
tent with watching speed contests be-
tween local horses and viewing the
big pumpkins and spuds brought In
by the prosperous farmers.

THE COMIC VALENTINES.

News comes from Portland that the
dealers in valentines have reached an
agreement not to sell any OF the
comics which in most cities form the
chief .'raison detre" of st. Valentine
day. and thai the small boy of the Rose
city will have to forego the pleasure OF
getting even" with the teacher VINO
made him stay in after school or the
.'cop" who chased him home after cur :
few had rung. :.
But outside of Portland the comics
are much in evidence, which leads an
exchange to remark that it is strange
travesty which links the memory or a
saint to festival of such complete ab-
surdity. insult and buffoonery. For st
Valentine lived and died martyr. He
was dubbed to death in the reign OF
Emperar Claudius in the third cen1u-
nv during the festival which now
bears his name.
St. Valentine personally had no con-
nection with the custom for the enron
icler records him as man stern ano
arbitrary and of exceptional chastity.
In its efforts TO eradicate pagan
festivals. the church, warning with
past customs, named many of the holi-
DAYS after saints of the church. st
Valentines death occurred during
Roman holiday on which young folks
choose their sweethearts, so the
heather name was stricken and the
saints name substituted.
For centuries the day has been one
when missives of love passed between
bashful lovers Then came the joker
who. like the writer of parodies. turned
sentimental triumph to a whimsical
blrlesque A Quarter of century age
the passing of S.. Valentines day was
predicted, but the fad grows, the bur
lesoue features increases and the pref
tiness of it shows woeful dlminutlon
