charges, the grand jury of Hartford
county began an investigation of the
facts regarding the Havre De Grace
race track. and it was the intention
to summon Mr.. Morrison along with
a number of others whose names had
been mentioned in connection with
the matter.
Mr.. Morrison's keen interest in pol
itics has led to his selection as chair
man of the Democratic advisory COM
mittee of Maryland and to conduct the
campaign for Wilson.
Mr.. Morrison went to his room in
the Athletic Club. yesterday. telling
club attendants that he intended to
do some work there. That was the last
time he was seen alive.
c. A. Fairbanks, vice president of
the Title Trust and Guarantee Co, of
which Mr.. Morrison was president.
said officially that there was nothing
wrong in Mr.. Morrison's relations
with the company. Mr. Morrison also
was first vice president of the Balti-
more Trust CO., and connected with
many other business institutions.
The communication retained by the
coroner was later made public. 1t was
addressed ITO the Public" and was
devoted entirely to an explanation OF
Morrison's connection with the Hart
ford County Racing bill. 1t declared
| in effect that Mr.. Morrison was in
| fuenced only by a desire to serve GER
| tain friends in Hartford, who had
| County Fair property and was to hold
race meetings in connection with the
fair. He thought that under the bill
| it would be impossible to operate out
| law racing and he believed the con
| struction of any new tracks under II
| extremely unlikely. In all his life, he
| said. he had never been offered gran
! as such. and he had never made dol
| lar out OF sport of any kind.
The letter indicated plainly that the
writer had worried over the connec-
| ton of his name with the race track
| matter.

For sixty years this nation has

American workmen have bene main

facturers have prospered and our
wealth has increased by leaps and
bounds. To the policy of protection
| have stood committed alike by con-
viction and by the platform on which

the winds that blew, needless of un-
just criticism, whether it come from
the standpat element of the party,
which opposed all tariff revision or
from those radicals, fewer in num-

spring campaign has convinced many
that it is a power in local politics.
Should the parties run close on cleo
tion day it is possible that the Demo-
cratic ticket could be elected save the
three marked for defeat by the Post.
1t is true that on presidential years
the voters have been in the habit of
holding closer to party lines, but all
are agreed that the peculiar condi-
tions are conducive to independent vot-
ing and that it is probable that there
will be much changing from one party
70 another and considerable 7,rltl'
ing.
In many of the counties the Demo-
Gratis are knitting each other and this
prevents them from going before the
people with solid front, since it be-
comes necessary for them to plead
with the Republicans to save them.
In many counties where the Demo-
Gratis are holding meetings the county
candidates do not go on the platform
with the state speakers.

SENATOR CROSS AND THE CAR.
PENTER BILL.
(By John A. Cross.l

The Carpenter bill was forced
through the senate by the senators
who were the agents of promoters
and spectators, with the assistance
of the friends of the Moffat tunnel
bill, and / do not believe that either
of the bills could have passed with
out the support of the friends of the
other.
Their first arguments for the Car
penter bill were that it was needed to
encourage the promotion of irriga-
ton enterprises, but when figures
were secured from the state engi-
neer's office showing that in two
years there had been about five times
as much water filed on as was con-
tanned in all the streams of the state,
without allowing for any that had
been appropriated before, they then
admitted that their real object was
to enable them to sell their bonds in
the east and Europe on the promo
ton schemes already started.
This bill seeks to do away with the
preference right to the users Of wa
ter for domestic and agricultural pur-
poses, which our constitution and laws
have always recognized, and place a
power plant or reservoir built for
speculation on u par with them, ac-
cording to appropriation, thereby
turning over all the unappropriated
waters in the state to spectators,
and also restricting the Oldest bitches
to immediate use for direct irrigation,
in order to supplement the amount Of
water for the use of the spectators
still further and enable them TO sell
their enormous issues of bonds, which
must finally be paid by the settlers.
Or what is more likely to happen, our
land will be confscated to the bond
holders.
Our public streams were ceded to
the state by the government, for the
use of the people, and not the use of
the spectators. Mr.. Roosevelt has
been denounced because he believes in
the new nationalism, by which the
government will ltake charge and ad-
minister the national resources of the
several states. Mr.. Taft has been ap-
plauded because 70 ~ he 4 r'''.le
TO cede the public lands TO the state,
under such limitations as will be a
guarantee against monopolistic con-
troll of public streams and power sites.
If this bill becomes law we may just
as well withdraw our petitions to the
federal government for the cession Of
our public lands, for the speculator
will have control of our public streams
and monopoly will soon follow.
l could give a great many more
reasons why this bill should not be-
come a law, but | think these few
are sufficient.
