FEELING CONFIDENT"

This is the time of the year
when the Republican leaders of
Maryland "feel confident" that
they will win in the coming
election. They always feel
confident" Have been "feeling
confident" for the past forty
years, yet only one time in forty
have they reached the success
they have always appeared so
confident" about, land that was
in the great Democratic revolt
the year Hon. John +. Hurst
was defeated for Governor.
1t is perfect foolishness, how
ever, for our Republican friends
to ''feel confident" this year.
The Democratic party is united
in every section of the State
and as white men will stand
shoulder to shoulder for the
white mans party.
Four years ago when the
Franchise Amendment was de-
feated thousands of Democrats,
who are now solid for the new
Amendment, voted against it.
1t was a party divided which
made the fight four years ago.
1t is a party united which
wages the battle of 1909.

OBJECTIONS To
FLOAT OYSTERS
Dealers However, Declare The
Trade Demands This Kind
OF Stock.

The oystermen of Worcester County
will be interested in the following
special from Washington under date Of
Saturday last
The indications are that the referee
board of the Department of Agriculture
is going to seriously interfere with the
epicurean tastes of men and women
who are fond of oysters US the first
course for their dinners.
Long experience has taught the
oyster dealers that the fastidious users
of their commodity are extremely fussy
about the appearance of the bivalve.
The quality. apparently, has been a
secondary consideration-or at least
that is the impression under which the
oyster dealer labors. The chop-houses
along Broadway and the first-class
hotels are particular when ordering a
consignment of oysters to state that
the appearance must be first-class, and
that they must be, above all things, fat.
For long time the dealers were at a
loss to meet the requirements Of the
trade. They finally discovered, however,
that the oyster would do the trick it.
self if given an opportunity. The pro-
cess after getting the oysters from the
beds is to place them in a large float,
which is partially submerged The
oysters remain in this float from IL to
"a hours after they are caught. For
some reason, which the oystermen have
never been able to determine, the oyster
promptly proceeds to drink itself full
of water, at the same time automatical-
ly cleansing itself and it's shell while
gormandizing. AS result the oyster
shell when opened discloses large, fat
and juicy oyster.
So far as looks are concerned, the
oyster which has been subjected to
what is known as the floating" pro-
cess is better than the oyster which is
taken directly from the beds to the
shucker.
The question has now arisen whether
this floating of the oysters is sanitary
and also whether the epicures are not
sacrificing purity and flavor for the
sake of appearance. Investigations al
ready made by the experts in the De-
partment of Agriculture show that in
some instances the floating of oysters in
water of density entirely different
from that in which they grow and in
water not so pure frequently results in
putting on the market oysters which
have been contaminated and which
carry typhoid germs. Several oyster
men who appeared before the board
testified that the public demand for fat
oysters was their only excuse for float
ing oysters, and that they would gladly
abandon the practice were it not for
the fact that their trade would be in
jured.
The referee board proposes to make
a ruling on the matter, and if they de-
eide against the artificially fattened
oyster the epicures may get better
article than the one they now demand"
