OUR WEEKLY STORY.
BY II. ID. REIDY.

Pat and his little brown mare
were familiar sights to the people of
the town. The mare was lean,
blind and lame, but by dint of much
coaxing Pat kept her to the harness.
One day while leading her to water
he had to pass corner where a
crowd Of would-be sports had con-
gregated. Thinking TO have some
amusement at Pats expense, one
called out:
Hello. there. Pat. I'm looking
for the real goods. How much IS
that mare of yours able to draw"
"Begorra," said Pat. Il can't say
exactly, but she seems to be able
TO draw the attenshun of livery fool
in town"

 The people should own the rail ways. They can very easily do it by purchasing the stock of the companies, as some 28.000 people have already done in becoming stockholders of the Santa Fe. and the only reason why they have not more generally done so is that they can make more money in other business.

Plant, Make or Garry?

Out of every thousand dollars invested, the farmer makes net profit each of $98.00, the manufacturer, $151.00 and the railway owner, $44.00. These are the average figures tn rough out the United States based on the government statistics.
 The capital invested in agricul- ture is greater than in manufac- lures and railways combined, while the number of persons en- gagged in the three great occupa- tions are 58 farmers, 36 manu- features and 6 railway men in every 100.
 For obvious reasons it is impos- sible to figure out the average yearly wages paid to farm work ere but the average paid to fac tory workers is $539.OO and to railway men $6O7. so that it is an entirely safe statement that those who work for the railroads in the United States are the best paid workers in the world. A comparison of the charges for carry freight in the United States with similar charges in some other countries of the world shows as follows:
 Average charged for carrying one ton of frieght one mile:
 In England in 1908. 2.31 cents In Germany in 1908. ...1.2O certs In France in 1908. ........1.21 cents In the United States. 0.75 cents
 These three foreign countries are given because their official statistics are available but the favorable comparison of freight charges continues through all the countries of the world.
 When you come to make de- duction from these figures the complaint is made that our rail- ways are over capitalized, that no such amount of money is in- vested in their properties, as is shown in their capitalization, and here is what we find:

But they say there is a great deal of water in the stocks not withstanding the showing that the capital per mile is lower than anywhere in the world. and to demonstrate this several Of our States have made a so-called valuation of the railways. Some of these estimates of value show that the average capital exceeds the estimated value. but those which were mace .he most thro- oughly and fairly show that the average capital per mile is less than the value. In Washington, for example, the value is given as $64, 900 per miles and the capital $53. 1000 per miles. but no comparison of this character when bounded by State lines can be accurate or very valuable, be- cause the capital is the average capital per. mile. In the case of the Santa Fe, for example, a mile of railway across d prairie in Kansas will not cost as much as a mile in Colorado or Arizona or California, where great natural difficulties must be met at increased cost, but the capital per mile is averaged at the same figure in the prairie as in the mountains
 Here is the conclusion; our rail ways pay higher wages and charge lower rates than any in the world; they pay a smaller profit to their owners than the farms or the factories and they perform public service and in- crease the value of every farm at the rate of $500 per acre per

LOWEST TAX RATE.

The Advocate has claimed that
Carroll has the most economical and
business-like county government in
the State, and the lowest tax rate.
The roads, bridges, school houses
and public buildings, except the
Jail, will compare most favorably
with those in other counties. Peace
and good order are maintained, and
the security Of citizens in life, liber-
ty and property are we'll guarded.
liz We look at the tax rates for
1911 in other Western Maryland
counties, all under Republican rule,
we find that the rate for county pur-
poses is much higher than it is in
Carroll county.
The conditions OF soil, property
and assessment are the same in Car
roll as in the other counties, and the
lower tax rate here il due to more
prudent and economical manage
ment Of affairs. If the taxpayers of
Carroll desire to keep the tax rate
about 40 cents lower than in other
Western Maryland counties, they
should vote for Jacob N. DehofY, for
County Commissioner.

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.

aroused the indignation of a great
many people bid fair to start move
ment that will seriously incline the
various States to a study of their d.
vorce laws with a view OF seeing If
there cannot be had something ap-
preaching uniformity in them.
Divorce laws lie within the prov
ince OF the States themselves. There
are those who do not believe in uni
formity Of laws governing the sever
ance or marital relations set about
solving the problem each in its own
way, gradually the solution that COM
mends itself most strongly to the
conscience of the country will pre-
vail
But this il exactly what agitation
for uniformity in divorce laws pro
poses to hasten. 1t is shocking to
have such condition a. exists i'm Ne

seeking to sunder marital ties and
where there j. not the slightest diff

which other States endeavor to sur

the efforts forty or more states are
making to safeguard the home and
protect the family because one or two
States have not reached the point
where they appreciate the magnitude
Of the evil. 1T il idle to hope for alb

can be made to it and something
done to prevent divergent views on

ion in which marriage ties are put on

ADDITIONAL EDITORIAL.
STATES ATTORNEY.

With many people lawyer il a
lawyer-that il, one lawyer II just
as able and competent as any other.
This is far from being correct. If
ali lawyers were equal i'm brains, Cd
ucation and experience there would
be no difference in them. But that
this il not true a moments refec-
ton will convince anyone. The le-
gal profession is divided into class
es.
| There are some who make a speci-
atty of railroad law, others of cor
poration law, others OF criminal law,
others OF real estate transactions.
The county lawyer, generally, is an
all-round attorney, undertaking all
kinds OF cases, but usually getting
SO few Of the more important and in
tricate ones that scarcely any be-
come specially qualified to handle
them.
The above goes to prove that all
lawyers are not equal. The people
OF Carroll will be given an opportun-
ity next month of selecting a States
Attorney, to serve for four years.
The States attorney is the peoples
attorney. Upon him, in large
measure, depends the good order
and peace OF society, the security OF
life, liberty and property.
The position of States Attorney
Il one OF much Importance. HE must
be able to cope with the attorneys
for the defense, should be a clear
and forcible speaker and possess a
logical mind. The States Attorney
should be man who will prosecute,
not prosecute, and should be without
malice or prejudice in trying persons
accused of crime.
For this important office the Dem
ocrats have presented Edward D.
Weant, a gentleman who has had
many years experience at the bar,
and a large experience in criminal
cases. He has shown ability at the
trial table and before juries. Cases
Entrusted to him have been closely
studied and well conducted, and he
has won much success at the bar
here.
Close attention to business is also
another characteristic of Mr.. Weant,
and voters should well consider the
importance Of the Office OF States At
torney before voting.

More Milk From HOlstein.

The breed does not always indicate
good mixers. There are poor cows
in all breeds and the selection should
be made on the merits Of the indiv-
sdual cow. However, the average Hol-
stein COW will probably produce more
milk than other breeds, but with a
lower fat content than the Jersey or
Guernsey, says writer in an ex-
change. Should you desire to build
up a good reputation for table milk
in your town, 1t might be well to
have two breeds. / have known of
instances where half the herd were
Holsteins, to furnish the quantity,
and the other half Of the herd were
Guernseys or Jerseys, which helped
TO bring UP the fat content OF the
milk when mixed before bottling for
market This will increase the per
cent. of fat in the milk as well as
give 1T better body and color.

DISEASES OF TOMATOES.
Wilt VIII Not Yield to Spraying As
Leaf Spot Does.

"A disease OF the tomato that il
sometimes confused with leaf spots
is properly known as fusarium wilt.
That this il not i'm the least affected
by the applications or spraying ma
terials to the plants is fully proved
in the experiments carried on at the
experiment station of the University
Of Illinois.
This wilt has caused the loss of
many a. promising crop, and the first
indication that the plants are affected
ID the sudden whiting Of entire
branches or even the entire plant
Within few days the wilted portions
become brown and dead, and an eX-
animation OF the Wilted stems reveals
a discolored, brownish appearance of
the wooded portion. The plants may
die before any fruit has matured or
after any part Of the crop has been
gathered.
The first season that the wilt ap-
pears in field usually only a few
plants are affected, but IL the field is
used for tomatoes the next year the
attack Is likely to be very severe, for
the disease il carried over fin the soil
and the length OF time the disease
will remain in badly infected soil is
not known. 1t is therefore important
to practice rotation OF crops 30 that
the soil will not become badly infect
ed.
Care should also be taken in secur-
ing soils for the beds In which the
plants are grown. Fresh soil should
be put in the beds each year and it
should be secured from a part Of the
farm which has never grown toma-
toes nor received the wash from to-
mato fields. 1t is also important to
avoid inoculating a new field by
means OF soil carried from an infect
ed field on tools or the feet OF men
or farm animals.
