Taft.

Hc thought that the interpret
ing of statutes was all there was
of life or Office. The spirit of the
times went by him. He lacked
energy; in repeated public ad-
dresses he used stronger words
than Roosevelt ever did concern
ing certain abuses of the courts,
but the bene6ciaries of those
wrongs never worried; but at a
single speech from Roosevelt in
private life they flew into panic.
Taft meant we'll feebly." The
public did not feel strongly against
him-he never inspired so robust
an emotion as hate. People didn't
think of him as having the will to
do evil; rather, they felt sorry for
him as an easy-going man in a
strenuous time, one to whom ease
and sleep were more attractive
than the strife that was necessary
to keep his foothold. In the un-
hurried quiet of some inferior
bench, infinitely comparing twee-
dledee and tweedledum, his flaws
might never have come out, and
he might have ended his years,
not with any particular glory, of
couse, but cetainly without oppro-
brium. The country blamed his
environments more than the indo-
lence which permitted those envi-
ronments to be what they were;
Delivers epigram crystallized the
public conception of Taft: "A
large, amiable body, closely sur
rounded by persons who know
exactly what they want" Some
pretty grave faults in his charac-
ter came out; for example, his
participation in the forging of
a public document to escape the
embarrassing consequences of a
false position; but the public
thought of this as the petty sub
terfuge of a feeble man rather
then the big wickedness of a ma
levolent one.-Collier's.

headed by the $1,000 stake for FIVE
gated saddle horses, three-year-olds
and over, entries to which closed July
l. With the exception of one other
stake of the same value this Is the
richest saddle horse stake to be con.
tested in America this year and be.
cause of this fact the entries closed
July 1 with thirteen nominations. the
largest number ever entered for
this stake. OF the thirteen nomina.
lions made they represent eleven
owners and II is certain that at least
eleven will be shown in the big stake,
which will be decided Friday night OF
the fair. Among those who nominated
in the rich prize are Powhattan Wool

Ray, Bowling Green, two entries; The

tons the nominators did not have to
make known the name Of their starters
in the race until the night of Sep
TENDER l. thirteen days in advance OF
tie date Of the stake, and previous to
that time nominstors have the privi.
lege OF disposing Of their nominations

it Is expected that several of the
prominent saddle horse owners Of the
East will take advantage of an op
portunity of purchasing a nomination
from one Of those who have made two
nominations 10 the stake with a view
Of getting their horses in the stake
In fact should any owner decide be

AGAINST BLANK PISTOLS.
Almost as Dangerous as Regula
ton Pistols and Come Under
the Head of Concealed
Weapons.

Our attention has been called dur
ing the past few days to the fact
that number of stores are selling
to small children, what are known
as blank" pistols; in other words,
cast iron pistols, which break, and
which shoot cartridges CONTAINING
only powder. These pistols are
dangerous for two reasons. In the
first place being made of cast
iron, they are liable to be bursted
by the explosion of the powder,
causing the putting out of an eye
or other personal injuries to the
persons having them. In the sec
ond place. many of those having
them are putting shot into the
blank smells, and in this manner
make them dangerous as weapons.
We are Informed by the police
authorities that it is their intention
to enforce the ordinance against
carrying concealed weapons for
these pistols, and that the parents
of such children will be held re-
sponsible for damages caused while
the children themselves will be
subjected to punishment if arrested,
unless the practice is Immediately
abandoned. 4.~'>i -

Bids For State Bonds Opened.

The Board of Public Works will
meet at Annapolis today and will
open bids for 100000 State
bonds. The proceeds from the sale
will be devoted to the improvement
of public roads.
The acceptance of the bids today
will add another million dollars to
the State debt, which has been
steadily growing during recent
years. Within the next few weeks
there will be further addition of
over $1,5OO,OOO. More bonds will
be sold, the proceeds to be devoted
to extension and enlargement y of
hospitals for the insane, for i'm
provement of the House of Correc-
ton. for armories, for new State
normal schools and for other pur-
poses. There is still another in
crease of 100000 for the School of
Technology, to be maintained In
connection with Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. This loan has already been
made.
The total debt of Maryland at
the close of the last fiscal year,
on Sept. 80, last, was $10,428,926.1 8
This debt was offset by State
investments, some of which have
since been sold and proceeds turn
ed into the sinking funds by the
$1,500,000 mortgage in the North
ern Central Railway, and by stocks
and bonds in the sinking funds.
This total offset was s6,693,S49.72,
making the net debt $3,735, O76.41.
With bonds issued since the close
of the last fiscal year, with bonds
to be issued today and later, the
net debt will be in the eighborhood
of 100000.
While there is pereertiA,% ii
crease in the States debt, there Is
also an increase in the States as
sets and resources.
