BEGGING FOR BALTIMORE
Man Here TODAY Soliciting For Ans For
Another CITY

hUUtuGE (Hf
A strong, we'll clad man, who said
he is from Baltimore, canvassed the
town here today begging for the poor
of that city. He had long list of
subscribers who had donated funds
for the poor of Baltimore, and the
thing is an outrage.
Annapolis has poor of her own.
Perhaps everybody doesn't know it,,
but she has. and Eastport, her little
thrifty suburb, has some poor, too.
Just at this time, with hard win
ter set in some weeks ago, there is
much suffering and distress among
worthy white people-people who
work, but earn little, families where
sickness has come, and medicine must
be bought for the sick ones.
Annapolis and Eastport, Camp Pa
role and other parts of the county has
enough OF its own poor to look after
without Baltimore sending agents
here to collect for the poor of that
city. It's shame! Something
should be done to prevent this state
of things. Ask any collector who
visits all the homes how many poor
people there are. In some homes
at Eastport there are three cases of
typhoid in one family, and it is a
hard matter to keep things going
where there is sickness.
However, while charity begins at
home, it is not always a good plan
for it to stay there, but tits good
plan to take care of the home poor
first before sending money to Balti-
more.

that, but / was happier still, when a
pretty lady with a bright red cross
on her sleeve, just like the one on
my face, said to ia man who wanted
me: He cost only a penny, and
every penny you give for him goes to
cure and prevent that awful plague,
consumption. !"
The man listened intently and then
he said, "Ill take $40 worth. "

Still in the Aviation kindergarten.
In the faultless achievement of
Aviator Curtiss, who few from Albany
to New York, distance OF 1877 miles,
in one and one-half hours, the world
must feel an interest, because it marks
the furtherest outpost thus far set up
in the science of aerial navigation and
brings us one step nearer to the practi-
cal solution of this problem. To Amer
leans the feat of the young New
Yorker is all the more important be.
cause he is one of us and has sur
passed anything yet accomplished in
heayier-than-air craft. This places
the United States ahead of France, OIL
England, or Germany, thus far in q
science to which those nations gave
earlier thought and undoubtedly will
react as a healthy and most energetic
stimulus to the spirit of conquest
abroad as well as in this country, pro-
pducing in the end the larger result oil
greater triumphs toward the ultimate
goal of successful aviation.
But every one of these marvellous
feats of skill and courage serves only
to impress thoughtful men with the
fact that we are as yet nowhere neal
practical results. The Fsrmsns, the
Paulhans, the Wrights and the Cur
tisses have only begun to get the faint
est ideas of aerial navigation ant
whenever they have achieved marked
successes it has been under the mos
favorable conditions. In this case
which is the acme of all attempts thus
far, Curtiss admits that all conditions
we're most propitious. What would
the result have been had conditions
been a little less than ideal? Thi
view of the subject not only enables
one to get proper perspective of tn

Bryan. Harmon and Parker.

In the last number Of his Commoner
Mr.. Bryan addresses to Governor Har-
mon personally an editorial apostrophe
calling upon him TO force the demo-
Gratis of Ohio to name a candidate for
United States senator, behind whom
they should march in the impending
campaign The article concludes as
follows:
This is a crisis which win show your
size-are you ready to have your measure
taken? II you falter prepare to stand
aside. The democratic party is in no
mood to be trifled with. 1t has suffered
so much from the secret manpulatlons Of
the predatory interests that it demands
daylight methods and honest politics. 1t
is up to you, governor.
1t seems, however, that Governor
Harmon declines either to "falter" or
to stand aside" He comes back
promptly and says that MIR. Bryan is
not familiar with conditions in Ohio
and does not know what he is talking
about. Governor Harmon, however,
seems to miss the purport of Mr..
Bryan's assault altogether. He should
know that his offonso is not SO much
in failing to force the democrats of
Ohio to put up a candidate for United
States senator, an offenso which MIR.
Bryan has committed right here in his
own state more than once, but in pre-
Stunning to allow his friends to coniure
with his name as a possible presiden-
tial candidate.
Governor Harmon should take q
Retrospective view back to 1904 and
recall the performance of Mr.. Bryan
when Judge Parker was heading for
the position of democratic standard
bearer. Mr.. Bryan hired halls in sew
eral large cities to tell about the mid
night methods and dishonest politics Of
the New York jurist, and calling upon
him to do various things or step aside
Judge Parker did neither and was
none the less nominated. But not
even the handout OF $4,000 of Wall
street money to Brother-in-Law
Tommy Allen to get Mr.. Bryan
again on the hastings suf1ced to undo
the damage already wrought. viii
Governor Harmon take heed? 1t may
require more than $4,000 to square
things through the brother-in-law mex
time.

As to forgery.


Merely by oversight we almost neg
lected to give that staunch democrat,
Edgar Howard, the benefit of an ex-
PLANTATION of how he was recently vic
timized by some malevolent bastard
who imposed upon him with two fake
letters over fraudulently signed names,
which our innocent friend printed
without taking the trouble to verify.
Here is the story from his Columbus
Telegram:
l was tho victim of two forgerics last
week. They were clever forgerics, and
might have deceived q much smarter man
than this victim. The two forgeries came
to me in the shape of two poetic efforts,
each touching local affairs. Each was
signed by the full name of boy Of good
namo in Columbus. Tho signatures APP
peared genuine. and 1 printed the letters
from the boys 1 take oil the blame for
my gullibility. And yet my shame cannot
be es great as the shame of the shameless
person who forged the names of the two
boys The forger may never become
known. Ho may hide his crime through all
the years. That is, he may hide It from
the public eye, but his own finger of con-
science will point him to his own shame
every day of his life, and that will DO all
the punishment 1 shall ask for him.
| hope my boy friends were not offended be-
cause OF the publication Of the forgeries.
here give them every apology for print
Ing their forged signatures.
Edgar has our sincere sympathy.
We can think just now OF but one other
| instance where such conscienceless
cunning has been manifested, and that
was in the last campaign waged by the
democrats of Nebraska in the false
garb of nonpartisans. The whole sum
and substance of democratic activity
| last fall focused in the circulation of
a forged letter viciously attacking two
men not candidates for office and bear
ing the fraudulent signature, Progress
sive Republican League" The shame
less person who forged these fictitious
names was located not far from the
home town where Edgar Howard lives,
and there is ample evidence to warrant
suspicion that Edgar was cognizant of
the plot, If not a participant in it. The
forged circulars were prepared at the
instigation of the democratic mana
gers, the postage was paid on them out
of the democratic campaign fund and
the circulars themselves put into the
mails by local democratic, committee
men who were more than once caught
in the act The chairman of the dem.
ocratic state committee, when charged
with abetting the theft of the name
Progressive Republican League and
upholding the perpetrators of the for.
! gerry, lied like gentleman and Edgar
Howard stood up for him.
The apology which Edgar offers the
little boys would be a good form tt
follow for an apology on behalf of the
Columbus coterie of democratic bosses
responsible for, the campaign forgery
last year.

The first question, which every ad-
vertiser should ask, is, What am l
irving to accomplish" Most business
men would say, that the obvious an
swer is, that they are trying to get
more business.
That is true, as far as the present
ia concerned. But, If advertising were
measured only by what 1t can do for
the one year, II would be, in many
cases, a poor Investment. WHAT you
are really trying TO accomplish, is TO
make the essential facts, with regard
TO your business, part of the ordi-
nary fund of knowledge of every one
in the community, state, or the whole
country, as the case may be- from
which you expect to draw trade. Your
advertising should make your business
so favorable known, that when the
time comes to buy something you sell,
the average person in your community
Will think Of you first and feel that
he would prefer to buy it Of 'ou.
This can only be done by continuous ana
persistent advertising. In this sense, circu-
lars are not advertising. A catalogue Is
not Advertising Even personal solicitation,
| however effective, Is not advertising.
Neither is a card in a newspaper once In
while, in this sense advertising. II a

Cherished traditions Bnnished.


One by one some of our most cherished
traditions are sent a-glimmering. Wash
ington's fine feat in crossing the Della
ware and winning a victory over the Hes
SLAMS has had its place fixed In American
minds by Leutzes famous painting, In
which the commander is standing In the
bow of the boat with the stars and stripes
floating behind him and his officers seated
about. John II. Fow, a Pennsylvania law
yer and historian, NV writing history
Of that state, relates that In crossing the
stream Washington sat In the stern Of an
ordinary and quito small rowboat. Tho
only other occupants were General Knox
and the oarsman. Moreover, his investi-
cations have served to determine that the
first flag was not made until six months
afterward. History" says Mr. Fow
should free itself from tho meshes of le-
gends and fables. Tradition should never
be used 10 prove fact; rather should
facts be used to prove the tradition"
