Courts Conclusions,

Concluding his opinion Chief JUS
tice Stewart says:
Under the record In this case It
seems to be apparent that while the
assessment made in 1901 was intended
to be a double assessment, and con-
sisted Of . separate valuation for the
year 1900. ana likewise q separate val
uation for 1901. still the sale was made
for the total taxes as shown in the
delinquent tax list. which was the tax
upon the real property and improve
ments for the year 1901. and also up
on the land and improvements. and
personal property. poll, road and spe-
cial school district tax for the year
1900. and It is so indefinite and uncer-
tain that It Is impossible to separate
just how much Of this was for the as
sessment for the year 1901. This be-
ing true. not only q part Of the taxes
involved. but the entire tax becomes
invalid and the sale and deed made In
pursuance Of such assessment must
fall by reason thereof. The Judgment
of the lower court is affirmed. Costs

Poor Seed Corn cuts Profits of the
Farm.

It takes about IA ears of corn to
plant an acre, and if good seed is
used and care taken in cultivation, it
will net the farmer As bushels when he
sells his crop. But if there is one
poor ear in the seed he plants, in the
spring, it cuts his profit, and each ear
m axes him less So an acre which he
might have gained with good seed. 1t
costs about as much to cultivate corn
which yields 20 bushels an acre as
that yielding Is bushels. The man
with the high yield makes the most
profit over his labor.
Experts from the state college have
said much of the seed corn will not
terminate. Better let few grains
from each ear you intend to plant
sprout in box and throw away the
ears which have no life. It means
money to you next fall.

We are not very wise to the politi-
cal game. We have played at it, but
did not get enough satisfaction and en-
joyment out Of it, to continue in it or
to become such adopts at the game az
to be able to foretell what is going to
happen in q political mix.up. Despite
our lack Of experience and political
foresight, We will venture the guess
that Gov. Eberhart is considered, per i.
soma non grata" with the Republican
political bosses Of the State and th at
he will have bitter fight on his hands
to secure a denomination at the Re.
publican State Convention. Lieut..
Gov. Gordon was too much of no.
nentity and too little known to have
permitted of his launching his political
boom without the necessary stage
settings and adequate publicity. The
opportunity presented itself when Co.
vernon Eberhart was absent from the
STATE on one of his altogether too
frequent junkets. It was then that
Gordon pushed himself into the lime
light by threatening to call an extra
ses sion of the Legislature. This was
merely grandstand play and as part
of the program, the Attorney General
was appealed to and he saved Gordon
from political humiliation by giving
1t As his opinion that the Lieut.. Gov.
possessed no such authority under
our Constitution. The newspapers,
from the dailies down to the most in
significant country sheet, heralded all
this startling news over the entire
State and Gordon woke up over night
to find that he was sufficiently we'll
known so that he could publicly an
pounce his intention to 60 after Eber-
harris scalp. He is the first one to
eater the arena, but there will be
more, enough more to make the re-
nomination of Eberhart extremely
doubtful. Whatever the outcome is,
there will be row and it may be deep
aud lasting enough so that the Demo-
cats may once more win out and elect
their candidate for Governor.

w ashington recently enjoyed listen
ing to some Of the very best democratic
speeches that it was possible to secure.
At least, that portion of Washington
which had been able to obtain
tickets to the Jefferson Day banquet,
which was attended by sll tie big men
of the party, including William Jen.
nings Bryan, and probably all of the
candidates for the Presidency on the
democratic ticket, except Harmon.
The speakers who addressed the
banqueters we're all men of national
reputation, ard they did not dissap.
point their audience. The .crowd was
generous with its applause, but it was
noted that the Harmon adherents
seemed to be fewer than those who ap.
proved of the other candidates, for
instance, Wilson and Clark. Bryan,
it was noted, had the crowd with him,
although he was certainly turned down
on the Guffey incident; but when he
arose, late add at the end of the pro-
gramme, and spoke for an hour and q
half, two hours, and then the crowd
besought him to speak still more, it
was pretty good evidence that he was
making an unusually interesting

greatly enjoying it. When Mr.. Bryan

of the convention, the crowd applsu-
ded ss though 1t had been in doubt
whether he would do so or not.

And just being happy

Ga the other hand the self-made
success is apt to be rather boastful
and think too highly of his own
efforts. Sometimes the result is not
so Rne as be imagines it to be and a
little college education would rub off
some of the rough edges that often
CRATE on the sensibilities of others.
AS to the much Wanted culture of the
Universities, we feel that in the matter
of kindliness and truth and courtesy
there is still much to be desired OF
our great institutions of learning.
Too often q college education makes
boy or girl an insufferable snob
and the excess of class spirit de-
veloped at large schools sometimes
makes the students too apt to trespsse
upon the rights of others and they do
things which, if they had been trained
at home, even under ordinary con-
ditions, they would have considered
dishonorable or unkind or lacking in
decency.
We believe that within the next few
years We shall see our big schools
taking up work that will meet the re-.
quirements of the man who wants the
advantages of culture combined with 9
practical training and successful
business men will not feel, as many of
them do at present, that a college
education units a man or woman for
real life.

EASTER PLANT LEGENDS.

The Christian legends connected with
plants generally explain their behavior
during Passion week. The aspen still
shivers with remorse, because when
Christ passed, it had boldly faced the
heavens instead of bowling its head in
company with the other trees. The
Saviour cast one look on it, and the
memory of that sorrowiu glance IS hand
ed down even to this generation.
The willow was used for the scourges
and ever since it has dropped its arms
in misery. The elder is commonly sup
posed to be the tree upon which Judas
hanged himself, and it is not even to be
touched as firewood. However, it af-
fords safe refuge in a storm, for not
even lightning will deign to strike it.
A fungus that grows on the elder and IS
now known as Jews ears, was originally
called Judas ears.
The wood sorrel was standing at the
foot of the cross and received some
drops of tho precious blood. These she
si'l carries. The Italians have the same
legend and calls this little blossom al
lelulia. -. - as if the very flowers rejoice
in the great gift of the world. The scar
let anemone, too, is said to bear the
Stains of ChriSt's blood.

MARYLAND Stands 18th.

While Maryland may not vet be prop
erly ranked as a great manufacturing
State, IFS Industries are making rapid
progress not only in the number Of men
employed but also in the value of the
products OF the factories, according to
the figures given out last Saturday,
March goth, by the Department of Com
merce and Labor.
Maryland is the fifteenth State in the
number OF manufacturing plants. The
State ranks fourteenth in the number of
persons employed in the manufacturing
business and has made an increase of
29.7 per cent. of its manufactured pro-
ducts.
From 1899 to 1904 the increase
amounted TO II.3 per cent From 1904
until 1909. there was a 80 per cent.
increase.
In 1899 the State had 1886 manufact-
uring establishments. In 1909 it had
4,S37 plants. There were Io7, 3o3 per-
sons engaged in the manufacturing bus
mess in 1904, while in 1909, I25,4So peo-
pie made their living solely from the
manufactures of the State.
More than SI49, $4,000 was invested
in Maryland manufactures in 1899. In
1909 more than $25E, 227 900 was SO In
vested
The value of the products of the State S
manufacturing plants in 1899 was S2rI,-
o76ooo, as compared with 1915 COG, 600
in 1909.
Or the States east of the Mississippi
River, West Virginia, has made by far
the most rapid progress in the increase OF
manufacturing industries as well as in
the number of men employed in them
and the amount of capital invested.
