VOTE FOR HAGNER.

The withdrawal of Col George A.
Pearre from the Congressional race
leaves three candidates, Messrs. Hag-
ner, Blair and Warner, from among
whom the Republican voters of the
Sixth District are to select their candi-
.didate to be voted for in November
next.
1t seems to US, from the Garrett coun-
ty viewpoint, that Mr.. Hagner should
be the choice of the party in this coun-
ty.
1t is undeniably certain that Mr.. Hag-
ner is bona fde resident of the Sixth
District, his home being located near
its geographical center, and therefore
no question can be raised as to the legal
status of his citizenship; he is Repub-
lican of lifetime's duration, his ances-
tors being among the party's founders;
he is thoroughly identified with the ma
terial welfare and development of every
industrial, economic and progressive in
terest in the District; he is active, ener-
getic, capable and untiring in his indus
try, and will make model representa-
tive; he has already announced through
these columns and elsewhere his deter
mination to get behind and push to a
successful conclusion the project of re-
building the old National Road under
government supervision and control.
and this plank in his platform alone
should win him hundreds of votes in
Garrett and throughout the whole Dis
trict.
Let US support Alexander R. Hagner
enthusiastically; let the free and un-
trammelled Republican electorate of
Garrett county rally to the support of
this man who can be approached as a
friend by every citizen, from the high
est to the lowest. and feel that his
rights and interests will be carefully
and honestly looked after and fully and
impartially protected.
Vote for Alexander r. Hagner at the
primaries of the Goth of August, and
we. confidently predict that no Repubi-
can in Garrett County will ever have
cause to regret having done so.

GEORGE May Be LAST
OF ENClAND'S KINGS

the few that are known.
King George is confronted by
the problem of the fight against
the supremacy of the lords, which
has advanced to such stage that
the stability of the house Of lords
itself Is threatened.
The new king must face grave
continental questions which are
the outgrowth of the anti-British
feeling manifest in Germany. One
of King Georges best known char
acteristics is his well known anti
German sentiment.
England and Germany have en-
gagged in a race for the future con-
troll of the seas and leadership
among the nations Of the old world.
King Edward VII, while support
ing the general idea of competition
with Germany, has succeeded in
holding back anti-German senti-
ment and obtaining in Germany a
similar condition tending to hold
in check animosity between the
two countries.

LONDON, May 7.-When King
George took the oath Of fealty this
afternoon at 4 o'clock the system
of monarchial government in Great
Britain went on trial for its life.
Statesmen see in the national
gloom the outlines of a historic
crisis. Intermingled with the gen.
eral sorrow is a note of alarm that
cannot be allowed to go unheard.
The publicists admit that il King
George is not strong enough to set
tie the political crisis promptly, the
passing of the monarchy is within
the range of possibility.
King George faces grave ques-
lions at home and abroad and he
assumes his duties without losing
the love, respect and support that
his late father and his grand
mother, Queen Victoria, had to aid
them in political crises.
The views of King George are
known only in private, but the cab
met openly is not in sympathy with

FAITH in
REALTY VALUES
in SPOKANE

People have faith in Spokane
reality values.
This was demonstrated today
when a number of lots in the school
section in East Spokane were sold
at nearly three times the appraised
valuation.
The property was sold at auction
by the county auditor at the court
house and bidding was spirited, lots
jumping up at $50 clips in many
instances. The highest price paid
was for lot s block 60, unimproved
and appraised at $500. Bidding
was active on this lot and it was
finally knocked down for $1315.
Outside agriculture land also
sold for good prices. An 80 acre
tract near Cheney was appraised at
$4,000 and sold for 1880 in less
than five minutes after it was put
up at auction.

I am decidedly IN favor of equal
rights and equal opportunity and
one moral code for all, one law of
Justice that applies to human be-
ings regardless of sex. One-half of
the race making laws to govern the
other half is not justice, and Just
how men came into this right and
why he insists on holding it has
always been mystery to me. /
would like to ask the question: Who
is doing the most effective work in
elevating the character of our pub
lie schools; cleaning, improving
and identifying our cities, and
working for the uplift of our young
people? 1t is safe to say there are
three women to one man working
for these results. The fact that
women are progressing in the bust.
ness world and are proving them
selves capable Of holding RESPONSE
BILE positions proves to me that II
they were given the ballot they
would prove themselves capable of
assisting in the government of our
country. Many a business man has
for his secretary woman, with
whom he consults in his business
transactions and in whose judg-
ment he relies. Women are urged
to bring up their sons to be patri-
otto. How can they conscientious
ly do this when the laws Of the
country places women on an equal
with criminals, imbeciles and
idiots?
We will never have a better race
Of people until the mothers are
emancipated, and the laws of this
country will never be what they
shall have an equal hand in their
making. Respectfully, Mrs. Alton
