Attack Like Tigers.

In fighting to keep the blood

often germs multiply so fast the
little fighters are overcome. Then

A Glimpse of Bismarck.

Lord Goschen was once asked to
dinner by the German chancellor and
described the occasion in his memoirs:
Bismarck made an excellent dinner,
but not so good as expected. The
fish course consisted of lampreys, and
Bismarck said that he had once, to his
shame, eaten eighty-one at a sitting.
Lord Odo, remembering the fate Of a
British king, asked if he had no rea-
son to regret the feat. Yes he said,
I did regret it. l have often regret
ted what have eaten, but never what
l have drunk But have you not
been the worse for it? 4 did not say
/ had not been the worse for my pota-
TONS I said l had never regretted
them He spoke in slow but good
English and said a number of quaint
and good things. Here is a very char
acteristic specimen: L rather envy you
English statesmen the excitement Of
the house of commons. You have the
pleasure of being able to call a man a
damned internal scoundrel Now, /
can't do that in diplomacy

The process of illegal kidnapping .

The process of illegal kidnapping as
in the labor cases of Meyer, Haywood
and Mcnamara, has been condemned by
the Senate select committee appointed to
investigate the third degree methods Of
the police authorities of the United States.
The committees comment on irregular
extraditions was evidently based on the
course pursued in removing Meyer and
Haywood from Colorado to Idaho on the
charge Of numbering Governor Steunen-
berg, aud in getting McNamara from In.
diana on the charge of destroying the
Los Angeles Times building.
1t was the kidnapping of labor leaders
Haywood and Meyer by officers of the
law, and the taking of their prisoners,
without illegal authority, by special train
after midnight from Colorado to Idaho
for the farce of trial on the perjured
testimony of one Orchard, that led to
such bitter controversy being waged by
the socialist paper, Appeal to Reason,
against the Federal department OF
Justice, as to finally cause the arrest oil
editor Warner on a fimsy charge oil
violation of the postal laws, and his SEN
tence to term in Jail and fine.
That the whole business was ridicu-
lous farce, and that the socialist paper
was right in its contentious, is now
proven by the report of the Senate
committee.

Governor Crothers has announced his
withdrawal as candidate for reelection,
and will support Senator Lee in the
primaries.
The announcement of his withdrawal
from the race was made Monday evening
in speech delivered at Annapolis by the
Governor, in which he said:
There have been a great many persons
who have been perturbed, not so much by
reason of the conflict about to be waged
for Democratic supremacy as to what my
course might be. have made up my

from large box kites. but these trials did
not approximate the actual conditions
that would arise when an aeroplane in
free flight scars over fleet.
The aeroplanes will be fitted with pom.
toons enabling them to arise from and
alight upon the water. The aviator will
try to drop dummy bombs on the decks
of the ships, while the navy gunners will
try their machine guns sighted upon
planes long enough TO enable them to
claim theoretical hit
At night the searchlight will try to pick
up the aeroplanes, task realized to be
vastly more difficult than the discovery
of boat on fat surface. Then one Of
the swift scout cruisers is to be sent out
to sea and an aviator will endeavor to
locate her and report her position by
wireless to the feet on the coast. An at.
tempt will be made, also, to use the
planes to convey messages between the
ships and the shore.

The Loo DRAG.

The following rules for dragging road
have been formulated and adopted in
several states and found advantageous.
Haul the drag over the road at any
angle SO that little earth is pushed to
the center of the road.
Drive the team slowly along one side
of the road, returning on the other side,
and let the driver ride on the drag.
Drag the road as soon after rain as pos
sible, but not when the mud sticks to
the drag.
Do not drag dry road. Drag at all
seasons of the year.
If the ground freezes just after drag.
ging the road bed will be in smooth
condition.
The best results are obtained by re-
peated dragging.

The Constitutional Amendments

Elsewhere in this issue are published
the constitutional amendments passed at
the last session of the legislature to be
ratified or rejected at the polls in Novem.
Der next. One is proposed addition to
the first or franchise article of the Con-
stitution. 1t limits the right to vote at
State and municipal elections to two
classes or citizens
First-Every male white citizen pos
sessiug the qualifications of age and resi-
deuce and not disqualified by conviction
for infamous crime or bribery.
Second-Every other male citizen not
disqualified by said conviction, possess
ing the qualifications of age and resi-.
Hence, who is the owner of property as
sessed at not less han $500 and upon
which taxes have been paid for the pre-
vious two yeaFs.
1t is further required in the proposed
amendment that there shall be a uniform
party name after the name of each canii-
date, equal representation of the minor
ity party among judges and clerks Of
election and officers of registration, and
that elections be conducted by the Aus
tralian system, these things not to be
changed by the Legislature. except by
the vote of four fif,hs of all The members
of each house This amendment would
not apply TO Congressional elections. but
only to the election OF State and mum
icipal officials. One object of the amend
ment was to do away with Wilson ballot
laws, all of which it repeats. But careful
provision is made for the revival of all
laws repealed by the amendment,
should it be ratified, in case any person
other than those in the two classes shall
become legally entitled to vote. The
meaning of this is that in case the Fed
eral courts should decide that this
amendment is void because of conflict
with the Federal Constitution, or for any
other cause, then the Wilson ballot laws
and other laws repealed shall revive and
the present status be restored.
The other two proposed amendments
which are advertised to be submitted at
the November election are designed to
increase the representation of Baltimore
city i'll the General Assembly, giving the
city two additional senators and thirteen
additional representatives in the House
If the latter of these should be ratified,
the city will have forty one votes in the
Legislature and the same number in the
State conventions, or as many as the city
and three average counties combined now
have.

Germans platform.

Senator German in announcing his
candidacy for the democratic nomination
of Governor, doesn't bother much about
platform policies, but leaves everything
apparently to the machine gang that is
backing him, and this is what he repre-
sents-the machine" pure and simple,
and expects it to deliver the goods for
his nomination at the primary. Any
candidate that is afraid to take the voter
into his confidence by fair and square
exposition of policies advocated is surely
not to be trusted by the voter, and must
have some other pulp by which he ex-
poets to win. In commenting on Cor
mans failure to make clear declaration
of purpose the Baltimore News SAYS
editorially:
Exactly how he expects the voters of
his party to make up their minds
whether they wish to choose delegates
who shall vote in the convention for him
self, for Governor Crothers or Senator
Lee, unless they know something about
what each candidate stands for, is more
than we can tell. The delegates must
vote as they are instructed to vote. When
the convention meets they will have
nothing to do except record the will of
their constituents, whose choice ought
to be determined by study of the CHAR
acter and records of the candidates and
by consideration of the policies they
represent.
'The only thing to be gathered from
Mr.. Germans views on the lines on which
the primary campaign should be con-
Quoted is that he has the notion that,
while candidates are 10 be selected direct
ly by the voters in theory, as matter of
fact he expects the successful man will
win by reason of the support of the
machine, and, this being the case, the
less said about issues the better. In other
words, he intends to lean on John Mahon
ito deliver the goods" in this city and to
look to John Walter Smith to take care
of his interests on the Eastern Shore and
to other members of the organization to
keep 'the boys" in line elsewhere OF
course, campaign of that sort does not
need much discussion of policies. 1t is
concerned a great deal more with pull.
1T may be that this plan of lying back
and depending upon the strength of the
machine to win the victory will prove
successful; that the people may not care

way it works out in actual practice But
they may have misjudged public interest

and Senator Lee are advocating and the
public desire to see the advancement Of
