rs THE REPUBLIC A FAILURE!

Some weeks ago the prescience of
Henry Watterson enabled him to pre-
dict that Theodore Roosevelt would
not only be feted and honored in Eu-
rope, but that he would also be her
aided as the next President of the
United States. Most people took this
warning lightly, yet his words have
turned out to be a. true a. Gospel,
for not only has Roosevelt been spok-
en- OF al the next President of the
United States, but at the Sorbonne, i'm
Paris, last Saturday, he was hailed,
Caesar! Such demonstrations are very
surprising and smack somewhat of the
Encouragement of the self-advertiser;
nevertheless they make us wonder,
what are the schemes of this restless
and ambitious man
We, as Americans, are proud OF the
respect being paid and of the honors
rendered to Mr.. Roosevelt, but at the
same time jealous of our Constitutional
form of government and want no
presidential third term Of dictatorship.
TO make Mr.. Roosevelt President
again, would b. to violate the prece-
dent set by Washington, confirmed by
Jefferson, adhered to by Jackson,
which even the Republican party de-
clined to break in 1880, when 1t turn
ed down Grant, who wished to be
nominated for the third time. Since
then times have changed, but the
necessity of government by the peo-
pie is more essential now than ever,
and to nominate Theodore Roosevelt
would be a confession that Democracy
is a failure and a one-man power is
required. And this is what his nomi-
nation for President will mean, for
with the political machine he already
has, Roosevelt, If elected, would build
up such an army Of retainers that 1t
would be practically impossible to
GUST him and he would hold on to the
lever of power, until fancy persuaded
him to abdicate in favor of some
friend.
We thought when "Marse Henry"
asked WHITTIER p and predicted what
would happen in Europe that he was
drawing on his imagination. We see
now that he was right and apologize
for our ignorance. 1t behooves every
man in this Country to heed his warn
ing and seriously ask himself, wheth-
er he is dissatisfied with our form of
and desires a one-man
power, for this is what the nomination
for President and election of Roose-
Welt would mean. 1t il not well to
put this question orr, but answer it
now, 90 that you will be prepared to
act when the time for deeds arrive.

believe they do now, that by the sys-
TEN Of accounting the Republican
party follows, and will not change, we
are wasting $3OO,OOO,OOO year, and
that for every dollar we contribute To
the government to- make UP this huge
sum Of money, We pay seven TO The
trusts, they will arise in righteous in-
dignation and wage an unrelenting war
upon the hackers Of this pernicious
system, war which will not cease IN
til the Democratic party Is in power
and this condition is changed.

The BEAUTIFUL HILLS AND FER
TILE FIELDS OF CARROLL.

ANY one who will ride through Car
roll county at this time will be struck
with the beauty of the scenery and
the fertility of the soil witnessed or
every side.
Carroll county il one Of the most
beautiful, a. well a. one Of the most
fertile counties of our state. Its gen
eral altitude is about 500 feet above
sea-level, some of the highest points
being nearly 1900 feet.
1t abounds in limestone of the finest
quality which enriches it's lands and
it's farmers are noted for their careful
ness and good judgment in cultivatins
the soil.
At the present time, there is being
developed in the western part OF the
county, at Union Bridge, one OF the
largest Hydrated Lime and Cement
plants in the country. The gentlemen
who are at the head of this enterprise
we're induced to select this place, Pc
cause Of the enormous deposits o.
limestone Of the highest quality, ano
also on account of the extensive de-
posts of shale, at the same place
limestone and shale being the principal
elements in the manufacture OF &C.
ment. 1t is said that very large sums
of money will be invested in this en-
ternrise. and we wish the company
success, as it is of great Importance tc
that part of our county.
Taking it all together, we do not be-
lieve there is a more desirable section
of the state, than Carroll county. Its
climate is delightful, its soil j. fertile
it's people are intelligent and hospl-
table, it has easy access to Baltimore
and offers to residents and visitors
every attraction the country can az
ford.

KEEPING COWS OUT OF PONDS
DsIrymen Make Big Mistake In Allow.
Ing Animals to Drink Dirty,
Stasnsnt Water.

Many men who think they are good
farmers allow their COWS to drink all
summer from any old pond that hap
pens to contain enough water.
No matter how filthy 1t Is. or how
warm or contaminated by vegetable
growth or droppings from the animals
themselves, so long as II is water.
A greater error never was made
You cannot get good milk or butter
from dirty pond water.
The COW is a wonderful milking ma
chine and she often transforms some
pretty poor stun into milk. but II she
is given nothing but dirty. stagnant
pond water all her powers Of alchemy
cannot turn II into q fluid 1T for chill
dren TO drink
There is one way. however. in which
pond water may be used to advantage
but It is not to allow animals to 20
into It or drink from It direct.
A pond on the Oklahoma station
farm holds million gallons and sup
plies 100 head each OF cattle and hogs.
II drains a large area which is on q
hill to the barns and feed lots That
Is different
As IT runs from the faucet IT Is as
clear as the average well water and II
tastes good
The cost Of building the pond and
OF piping the water about one-third
OF a mile was about $500. Barring
usual accidents It should cost nothing
for repairs and IT does not cost cent
TO operate It.
There are many localities where the
ground is more or less hilly where this
system Of supplying water could very
easily be adopted without great cost
