Praise For Penltcntiary

Mr.. Lyman Beecher Stowe, in current
publication, speaks in glowing terms of
the Maryland Penitentiary. which is under
the supervision of Warden John F. Weyler.
He incidentally scores the policy Of labor
leaders. who demand the stopping Of
work in jails and penitentiaries. Mr.. Stowe
recently visited a number Of penal institu-
tons Of this country, and among them the
Maryland Penitentiary
He states that the system here of max
ing the convicts work in shops Of industry
should be followed by many penal institu-
tons, where at present the prisoners are
permitted to lounge around in their cells
and in convict rooms, passing away their
time in idleness.
THE Maryland Penitentiary." he says,
lis an ideal place for the future welfare Of
convicts They are educated in industrial
occupations and in Christianity When
they leave the institution they are fitted
to do honest work and keep out Of harm s
way"

A Reply to the Report of the Rock.
vile Bible Class.

Editor Sentinel. There appeared in your
valuable paper of January IA a report of
the Rockville Union Bible class.
The writer of this communication does not
wish to detract from any good that the Bible
class might accomplish, but at the same time
he feels that the class should make a true
report and state facts, and when such an
organization fails to do so the public should
know it.
In the first place, think owe the cor
rection of said report to my family as well
as to myself.
In the report referred toitis alleged that
Miss Martha Spencer and Miss Bessie Sias
carried on religious services until August.
when the then superintendent refused TO
allow any religious services to be held by
any one |. who at that time held the
lucrative position of superintendent, do en-
phatically say that this is malicious mis-
representation. l never objected to any
ordained minister or any one else hold
ing services, except the Bible class and
those whom they sent for these reasons
In the first place, one of the leading men,
bers of said society, minister, came to
one of the board meetings and made an
unjustifiable charge against me. proved
to the board at that time that it was
incorrect Another member had published
in the county papers things that were not
true, just as have been published in the
report referredto
AS for the condition of things at the
County Home, 1t is not half so bad as the
Bible class try to lead the public to believe.
They stated in the report that children are
continually born there whose parents are
inmates of said institution. Twas in charge
of that institution for four years. There
was not a single child born there whose
father and mother were inmates of the in
stitution. 1t is true that quite number
of children was born there while was in
charge, but those children's mothers came
there for treatment such as is given in
lying-in hospital.
would like for the Bible class to inform
the public what has become of all the
children that have been born at the County
Home whose parents were inmates of that
institution, and also the dates of birth.
Then the public will know just when and
how many have been born there.
Thanking you for the use of your space.
| remain,
Very Respectfully.

Grange Meeting.
Very Respectfully.
JAMES William K

The January meeting Of the Montgomery
County Pomona Grange was held at Brighton
on the 9th. with a large attendance of
delegates and visitors-nearly 100 persons
enjoyed a social time over the dinner table
at noon.
Among the public matters discussed and
acted upon were:
1. The necessity of improvement at the
County Aims House. with an addition to
the house so that the segregation of the
sexes will be possible.
2. The excessive number of employees of
the present session of the Legislature. who
number more than the members of that
body; more than are necessary in the big
State of New York.
3. Changes in the laws regulating our
State public school system, so that there
may be coordination among its different
branches and a uniform system Of grades
for the different counties. There should be
women on the County School Boards.
4. Protesting against the effort being
made in the present Congress to remove
the tax of 10 cents a pound on colored
oleomargarine.
S. The hardship to be wrought upon the
dairyman shipping milk to Washington if
the proposed bill now before the District
Commissioners regulating it be passed. A
committee was appointed to interview our
representatives and see If the bill can be
defeated or changed.
6. Criticising the State Board of Aids
and Charities for sitting in its Office in
the city and deciding which charitable and
educational institutions shall receive aid,
instead of visiting all these institutions
and examining into their workings and
needs as they were appointed to do.
T. A resolution was passed favoring a
larger appropriation for the work of the
Agricultural Experiment Station. which is
hindered in its work of developing the re-
sources of the State for want of funds.
W. Past Lecturer Of the National Grange,
Mortimer Whitehead, of New Jersey, was
a visitor and greatly enjoyed many of the
elder members keeping the memory of his
eloquence green for the thirty years since
his last visit here.

Mrs. Scott TO Stay at the Head OF
ID. A. r.

Mrs Matthew T. Scott, President General
of the d, A. r., will be a candidate to sue
coed herself in 1910.
Il have decided to run again" she said.
II see no reason why should not do so.
My health is much better than it was when
was elected. You may say for me that
decidedly will be candidate"
Mrs. SCOTS announcement was intended
primarily to silence persistent report that
she would resign at the Continental Con-
gress next April and that Mrs. Donald
Mclean whom she succeeded as president
general would be elected to I'll the unex-
PRED term,
Mrs. Mclean is not eligible for another
election" said Mrs. Scott land, in any
event, know that she is not seeking It,
The whole story is simply fabrication.
So is the story that pledged myself moi
to run for a second term. There is moth.
ing in it but falsehood."
Several prominent Daughters. among
them Miss Mary Desha. one Of the found
ers of the organization. have been quoted
as saying that Mrs. Scott positively pledged
herself not to be a candidate again.
Mrs. Mclean emphatically denied, as did
Mrs. Scott in Washington that there was
any truth in the report that Mrs Scott was
to retire or in the report that she MRS
McLean) would be a candidate.
THE story has been maliciOusly circu-
lated by those who are anxious to have
Mrs. Scott retire, said Mrs. Mclean so
far from considering such a move, she will
run for q second term, and shall use all
my influence to support her in that cam
paign."
A second, or courtesy" term is a tradi-
ton with the Daughters.

County Fair Horse Shows.

The management of the Shelbyville Fair
Association is considering the feasibility
of cutting out such foreign attractions as
balloon ascensions, air ships, acrobats, gym
nasts, etc., that call for an exceedingly
large appropriation, and devoting that
money to premiums for the horse show.
1t would seem that this would be an ex-
cellent move for not only the ShelbyVille
and is certainly worthy of more than pass
ing attention.
The county fairs along with the State
fairs, have become great educational in
situations, and while outside attractions
may have been necessary at first to draw
the attention of the farmers and the public
generally, it is question if that day is
not passed, Not only farmers but citizens
in every line of endeavor find much to
benefit them at the fairs, and large per
cent. of the increased profit in farming can
be laid to their educational influence.
Having solved many Of the agricultural
problems, farmers are turning their atten-
ton to the breeding question. and when
that branch relating to horses is reached
the high-class road, carriage, coach and
general utility horse cannot be overlooked.
All of the qualities mentioned can be
found in the American trotter, but all
those who attend the fairs have not been
convinced that such is the case,
In order that there may be a more
thorough understanding of the merits of
the various breeds show of high standard
must be given. If the breeders of the
trotter will take the precaution to see that
suitable premiums are offered for the light
harness horse in all of the various classes
to which he is adapted, and then bring
their best specimens to the fair, the best
interests of the breed and the breeder will
be advanced in legitimate and satisfac-
tory manner. AS an attraction it would
seem that the horse show would be pay
ing investment for any fair association,
one that would bring more money at the
gate than the cheap vaudeville stunts.
The latter have been overworked and the
fairs come at time when the best Of these
foreign features cannot be secured because
of the opening of the theatrical season.
The money expende for horse show pre-
miums would be returned to the people
living in the county or in the State, and
thus a double advantage would be at
tanned. tits to be hoped that this feature
of the county fair will be given serious at
tention by the managers and in those
counties where a favorable conclusion is
reached we trust that the breeders Of the
trotter will do their whole duty to them
selves and the industry by showing their
best horses in all of the various classes
to which they are eligible.-7he Western
