A Tramp Steamer.

degree by the Yankee shippers of the
days a young mar returned from a
voyage with a rating Of second or first
mate and q knowledge of navigation.
He wanted a vessel Of his own; 80 he
organized a company on a stock basis.
With the ship in commission the
captains real work began, and when
he slipped his m%oorings for a voyage
he was going tramping. although he
called 1t trading" In his quest for
cargoes he did not bother where he
might have to go. his only stipulation
being that he should have a return
freight or a monetary consideration.
Those were the days when trading
was not so prosaio as today, for the
doughty shippers Of sailing craft took
all kinds of chances, especially those
who went over on the African coast,
swapping beads. mirrors, calico,
knives and other gimcracks for ivory.
Many Of those shippers were not
averse to "bla ckbirding," az running
slaves was called, and many a cargo
OF blacks was run to the states, even
after the British government started
in to break up slave trading.
1t Is to the tramp steamer that Eng
land owes her position as the foremost
maritime power. The crown has en-
couraged the building Of liners and
tramps by the giving Of subsidy. In
other words, the crown IL a part own
err, but only in time of war does tho
crown assert its rights. Then these
tramps must respond. to be used as
troop transports, Al many We're dur

SOME RACE ON

does. Dolly hand him things, and
In the neatest way. She does a bit
of Juggling herself that Is no cinch.
Mae Hendricks is pretty~good,
sings four songs, and makes four
changes.
Melvin G Thatcher have got an
act after my own heart. They are
two men, and It's all about base
ball. They carry two scenes, n is
the outside of the field and the 9TH
er the bleachers. There's a lot of
funny. talk between the two.
The best act on the bill, and the
headline, Is THE Western Girl
Company" Gee, It's exciting. 1t
shows a scene at a race track out
west, and there is a william who tries
to crab the race by giving a piker
some dough to cut the saddle strap
so his horse will Win. And a girl
was riding 1t, too; but, gee. she
was game. When she felt the sad
die going she got on the horses
neck until 1t was off-and won the
race. There's lots of talking in the
act, too, that was immense. A lot
of cowboys and cowgirls, too. But,
| gee! you ought to see the race at
the finish. The horses are on a
tread of some kind, and they are
running to break their necks, and
when the girls horse got ahead.
slow, but sure-I could hardly keep

FOR ASSOCIATE JUDGE:
GLENN H. WORTHINGTON,
of Frederick County.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
CORRUPTION OF OUR
ELECTIONS.

The investigation OF the Senate Com
mittee OF the contributions to the CAM
paigu fund Of Colonel Roosevelt in 1904,
and also to the campaign of 1908, when
Mr.. TAFT was the candidate, has opened
the eyes OF the people as they have never
been opened before, and those whose
eyes it would seem useless to try to open
i'll the future.
1t would be only very ignorant or a
very stubborn man who does not believe
and know that both Mr. Taft and Mr..
Roosevelt kew who were the large con
tributors to their campaign funds, and
also what was the Involvement for the
large contributions
Nobody with good. common sense
believes that the large corporations which
Contributed 50 Heavily to those cam
paisns made them for their health. or for
the good Of the public. Nobody but a
fool believes that J. Pierpont Morgan, or
Mr.. Prick, or Mr.. Archbold contributed
one hundred thousand dollars for the
good Of the people
Mr.. Morgan was very careful to say
that the great corporations had never
contributed any money to the Demo
cratic party and they never have done
so, SO far as known in the history of
politics.
which was not even considered when
those contributions were made was the
public good
Nobody believes that those corrupt
and lawless contributors did not know
what that money was TO be used for.
They knew just as well as Roosevelt and
Taft what the money, or at least the
greater portion of it, was to be used for.
