Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, caused
a sensation at the annual convention of
the California fruit growers at Santa Rosa
by unfolding the possibilities which he has
learned to exist in his spineless cactus.
Burbank declared he had discovered that
the leaves could be converted into paint
and whitewash, that the fruit was more
delicious than strawberries. and that the
peth of the plant had proved an excellent
substitute for rubber in making automo-
bile tires and for wood pulp in the manu-
facture of paper. AS food value, he said,
scientists had learned that one leaf of the
cactus contained more nutriment than
large sized beefsteak.

There are two candidates for President Of

D. Price, of the Eastern Shore. 1t is said
that Senator Lee has ten of the nineteen

There are four candidates for Speaker Of
the House, Messrs. Elmer j. Cooke, of Bal
timore county; Harry A. Osborn. Of Har-
ford Oele Marbury, of Prince George S, and
James Nice. Trippe, of Baltimore city. 1t
is predicted that Cooke will be elected.
William H. Anderson, agent of the anti
soloon advocates. has fired blast at the
Baltimore county man, charging that he
has appeared as attorney for the brewery
interests in the courts and is, therefore,
unfriendly to the local option bill. Sup
porters of Cooke declare that il Mr.. Ander-
son has the votes he needs for the local
option bill neither Mr. Cook nor anyone else
can stop him from passing it.
While Mr.. Vandiver has strong support
for the position of State Treasurer, he will,
it is said, be expected to retire as State
chairman, as it is believed that younger
and more active man could get better re-
suits in that position He is said to be
willing to do this.

There is another court record which we
will in passing notice also. Bound up in
many volumes you will find the full record
of two of the late noted decisions 1t is

extOrtion and lawlessness. The plea of
justification is not unlike the plea of the
planters of dynamite, for. although the acts
are clearly in violation of law and the
rights of the public, it is claimed, neverthe-
less, that it was all done in the interest of
business growth and industrial progress"
In no other first-rate nation, he said. is
law so disregarded as in the United States.
There is no place where life is so in

nal laws are so Intellectually enforced.
where corruption is so little condemned in
public opinion and where defiance of law
in the highest walks of business life so
generally prevails.

prosecution of business men who erred I'M

II sympathize sincerely with the man
who in his hunger or his disappointment,
in discouragement or despair. thinks he
can better conditions by taking the law
into his own hands. In the hour in which
order shall be driven from the high place
in the temple of liberty and in which law
lessness and might shall come in its stead,
in the fearful struggle to follow, the first
man to 90 to the bottom to remain there
will be the man who tolls.
But how shall we excuse or long SYM
pathize with the man of influence and
position, of wealth and prestige, who still
by word and deed teaches disrespect for,
or defiance of, the law? Does he not know
