GOVERNOR OFF HIS PERCH
SENATOR GORMAN HAS HOPES
Special Correspondence of The Star.

BALTIMORE, Md, January 20, 1910.
The organization democrats are in a
iubilant frame of mind over the develop
ments of the week at Annapolis They
claim that the order of Speaker Peoples
that employees shall draw pay from the
date of the converting of the legislature
is an indication that the ice is break
ing in the executive mansion. and that
Gov. Crothers is about to come off his
high perch on the economy platform.
AS matter of fact, il has been known
for days that Crothers was preparing to
surrender to the Smithsonian machine,
and being a politician of the old school,
he employed Speaker Peoples as a 60
between, as it were The order of the
speak er that employees be paid from the
opening day of the general assembly re-
suited in the resignation of Delegate
Marriatt as a member of the committee
on rules, the delegate setting forth that
his reason for reSigning was due TO the
fact that the speaker had deserted him
in committee on the fight for economy in
the matter of legislative expenses.
The regulars. however. are in rare good
humor over the extending of the olive
branch by the right-hand man of the
governor. They openly assert tonight
that Crothers has been taught to under
stand that he is not to be the whole show
at Annapolis, and that he will in future
obey the mandates of the party leaders.

Tendency Toward Protection.

Another fact or striking significance Is
the growth of public sentiment in favor
of a protective tariff and an abandon
lnent of the traditional policy of free
trade. No other country in Europe or
indeed the world, cfings to that economic
policy, and the prosperity of Germany,
France and the United States under the
protective tariff system has evidently
convinced many British voters that they
should adopt similar measures for self
defense. Great Britain admits free of
duty the agricultural produce and the
manufactured merchandise of every
other country, but no country admits
the products and manufactures of Great
Britain free; they have to pay duties
everywhere In order to prevent them
competing with local products. Every
colony of Great Britain has tariff, and
imposes duties upon goods from the
mother country. This has been a sore
place in the English system for many
years. and the widespread attempts to
induce patriotic sentiment into the retail
trade of the country has not been sue
cessful The British buyer has been
warned away from cheaper classes of
goods that are marked made in Ger
many or made In France" but has
bought them just the same, and the
same complaint is made that we hear in
the United States that merchandise
manufactured in Germany and France is
sold in England at lower prices than
the same articles sell for at home.
During the entire campaign the con-
sentative unionists have been bringing
the tariff issue to the front The in
terest in that question has been excited
very rapidly by the agitation of the
Tariff Reform League, which has it's
headquarters near the American en-
bassy In London and has flooded the
kingdom with literature. statistics and
cartoons showing the disadvantage un-
der which the manufacturers and work
ing classes of Great Britain are laboring
because of the unrestricted competition
of Germany, France and the United

Change in Public Sentiment.

That argument has changed the senti-
ments of the thinking people of England.
Scotland and Wales to the comparative
benefits of free trade and a protective
tariff. When Joseph Chamberlain began
the agitation few years ago 90 per cent
of the public were against him.
Now large majority of tile thinking
people. the professional, mercantile and
agricultural classes and the manufacture
ers, those best qualified to judge. are al
most unanimous In favor OF a protective
tariff. or tariff reform as they call it,
Even the London Times, which has been
for generations the advocate and defender
OF free trade on moral, political and COM
mercial grounds has come out strong
" in favor of protection, and In a recent

Governors Disadvantage.

Gov. Crothers is just beginning to
realize that in the matter of controlling
legislation and legislation expenses the
average Governor of Maryland cuts a
mighty small figure. The members of
the general assembly, a rule, look for
their orders to the men who have NOM
mated and elected them, and they gen.
orally carry out the orders they are
given Senator John Walter Smith and
President German of the senate are the
men who paid the expenses of the cam
pagr last fall. and they are the men
whose orders will be obeyed by the mem
bers of the legislature Therefore it is
not surprising that the plans of Crothers
for IL cheap legislative session have come
to naught. And it may be stated here,
without violating any confidence, that
other plans of Gov Crothers will so to

IMPROVING THE
POULTRY FLOCKS
Better Results Could Be Had If
Farmers An Given Locality
Would All Keep One
Breed ofChickens.

The community idea might be
worked d great deal more than 1t is
in the pure-bred poultry business.
Better results could be had if the
farmers in 4 given locality would all
keep one breed Of poultry. II they
would unite on sOme good, popular,

buyers much more easily than where
each nan keeps a different kind Of
stock, says the American Cultivator.
With dairy cattle this plan has
worked wonderfully well for certain
groups Of farmers in various parts of
h country. In Wisconsin there is a
dairy center, where almost everybody
keeps Guernseys. In New York state
there Is a region where dozens Of
farmers keep Holsteins. In northern
New Jersey there is another Guernsey
center, and in various parts of the
Countr ythere are Jersey and Ayrshire
dairy centers. In all these localities
there are hundreds of pure-bred ami
mails, which can be seen In a few

Tin o Sound.

of thin woodwork, and the walls act
almost like a violin. so that the
sounds are by no means ~deadened, but
are in fact caught up by them and
passed on.
A German writer has lately been
making some experiments. and has
found that If in uch cases the booth
Is lined with tin the sound vibrations
are almost totally killed. Architects
are recommended as a result of this
demonstration to max use OF hin

the central one being less in diameter
than the other two and each project
Ing t~hree-quarters of an inch.
AS the masonry of the Cairn is not
continued up behind this block there
may ave been a similar stone there
and removed either by accident or
design. This conjecture seems rea-
%sonable. as within the center of the
cairn is i~mbeddcd a substantial stick
of native red cedar several inches in
diameter and fractured at the upper
end. Evidently this was a Flagstaff or
signal pole: and its breaking may
have caused the loOsening or fall of
q similar capstone at the reverse of
the one described.
AS seen by the illustration, this
capstono is dressed squarely. This
leads to another conjecture, which, in
the absence OF evidence to the con-
trary, seems reasonable. namely, that
the granite block was formerly in use
as a Intel In some large building, its
position reversed. as shown by it's
hammered faces.
No inscription of any sort is to be
found about or npon it: and nothing
save the broken cedar stick gives any
clue to its identity or the purpose of
it's erection; while the lOOsened NOR
tar and discolored and time-worn
stones clearly indicate that its build
ers have passed on.
Inquiry at the Cambridge observa,
tory ELECTS the information that a
stone was erected in Med
ford at about 1850 as a meridian mark
for the adjustment Of the old transit
circle in the east wing of the OBJ
~servatory. The eldest member of the
staff gives the information that "it
supported a simple board spiked to
the masonry, on which was a mark
that could be seen from the observa-
tory"
The old transit circle was replaced
by another in 1870, and the use of the
cairn as a meridian mark was discon-
tinued.
