PREDICTS DEMOCRATIC PRESI-
DENT.

Colonel Watterson, the we'll known
editor Of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal, in a recent discussion of nation
al politics, avoided expressing an
opinion regarding the probable Demo-
cratic nominee for President. He
frankly stated that he believes Theo-
dore Roosevelt wants to be candi-
date for the Republican nomination.
Col. Watterson says he believes a
Democratic President will Be elected
in 1912, and it makes no difference
who j. nominated He declines to
express choice yet among the many
prospective aspirants for the Demo-
cratic nomination. "The woods are
full of candidates." he said, "but am
not discussing them yet in my own
paper. T would appreciate it if you
would excuse me from discussing
them now" He says the Republican
party is hopelessly divided.

GTHE QUALITY OF MERCY"

That a more important object even
than to assure the comfort Of animals
IL back OF the work OF humane soci-
cites IL an argument used by them to
confute those who feel as If pressing
human problems are too important TO
permit them to give thought to the
question of kindness to animals. That
IL, an awakened sense OF mercy and
kindness in human consciousness is
of more Importance than the merely
physical well being of mankind c. of
animals
a merciful man is merciful to his
beast; and the very word humane"
points to the true purpose Of these So
cieties Especially in children the
tendency toward teasing and torment
ing things that are weaker than them
selves, things that are at their mercy,
or the neglect Of those dependent OF
them for well-being need as much
parental correction as any other
wrong tendency. To laugh at o. f.
more boys fondness for shooting
birds or of annoying cats, as a mere
childish impulse that will soon b.
outgrown,is to ignore the tendency IN
DERIVING this mischievousness which
in later years may come out in other
forms Of co1dness, harshness and
cruelty.
Therefore to cultivate habitual
mercifulness and kindness In every
direction where there is room for
such an expression is pointed out as
Of immense importance; and training
in kindness to animals both at home
and in the schools il helping to rid
the world Of an animus Of hate and

The series OF Farmers Institutes
under the auspices or the Maryland
Agricultural College, which are book
Oh for this county, should r. looked
forward to with the greatest amount
of interest by the farmers OF the
county, for at these institutes they
can learn what the States experts
have to offer from their scientific
training and practical knowledge.
"a number Of Carroll county farm
ers attended the Institute held at
SykesvilIe last week and report much
profitable knowledge gained from the
excellent lectures, ana discussions
It I'D planned It'd have meetings in
this city two days, next Monday and
Tuesday, from 10 a. D., to p. 20,
and at Union Bridge, one meeting,
which will take place tomorrow. The

BUILD UP THE OYSTER INDUS
TRY.

1t is strange how much indifference
Maryland displays To cultivating the
oyster. While this industry Is rap
idly growing in several Southern
States, there il a general complaint
on the part Of every class engaged in
the industry in this State, that for
several years past they have not been
able to do business at profit
In the list of Maryland's Natural
resources the shellfish industry ranks
first in Importance, and the citizens
of Maryland should demand this Leg
ialature to enact laws calculated to
foster and protect this great industry
and to make it a source of revenue
to the State instead cf Z source Of
expense.
The Oyster Commission appointed
by Ex-Governor Crothers recommends
that the matter be placed in charge
of a competent "non-paid" board OF
practical men, and that it b. removed
from political influence.
There is practically no limit to the
oyster and crab output if the beds
be properly and intelligently super
vised, and the laws relating to them
BE- enforced. Let the people OF this
county take some active interest in
securing legislative action.

KNOCKED INTO A Cooked HAT.n

Would that we could do something
effective, either dignifed or not, to
knock Mr.. Bryan, Woodrow Wilson
Champ Clark and any other Demo-
cratic candidate into a cooked hat"
is the fervent wish of the Republican
schemers. They hoped the Joline let
ter would turn Bryan against Wilson
and start bitter feud. But Mr.. Bry-
a. j. a. old hand in politics. lie took
particular pains at the Washington
banquet to emphasize his regard for
Wilson, and a. the Nebraskan and the
Jerseyman met as warm friends, the
letter-disclosers realize their failure.
MIR. Bryan himself knocked their
scheme into a cooked hat. The Re
publicans are the people who will be
knocked into q cooked hat this year.

NEMsPAPERS IN COURT.

It is not pleasant to note the ap-
parently increasing number of libel
suits ana cases or contempt OF court
in which newspapers of the United
States appear to b. involved The
fact that such suits are % frequent
and their number grows larger each
year seems To indicate one of two
things either that our press has be
come less careful and 1aw-abiding,
more reckless in it, handling of news
and statement OF opinion, o. that
there is a growing tendency to curb
it, freedom. TT either case the con-
dition il to b. regretted.
That the tone of our newspapers is
gradually becoming higher il gener-
ally conceded, and any tendency to
lower this tone or to give way to NAL
ice and vituperation il to BE- deplored.
On the other hand, it would be still
more serious calamity if, beyond GER
tain recognized and legitimate limits,
the freedom Of the press should be
come in any way hampered. Probab-
ly the most striking point in most Of
these libel and contempt cases il the
fact that they are brought by either
politicians or office-holders, and,
while these compliments may be
strictly within their rights and may,
i'm every case have been WrOnged by
the newspaper they accuse, there j.
food for serious thought in the fact
that the prosecutions are % often
caused by men who hold Or seek pub
lie office.
a righteous fear of criticism by the
newspapers IL al great safeguard as
a democratic government can have,
and there il no measure for the
amount Of good the press has done by
it's exposures of wrong in the hand
ling of public affairs or in its proven
ton OF official mismanagement and
the betrayal Of trusts Our courts,
even, are none the worse for the oc-
casional attention OF the press.
There is nothing more natural in
the world, however, than that this
constant supervision should occasion
ally become irksome, and no doubt
many an office-holder would feel
much happier and freer if he knew
that his daily official conduct were
not to be 80 closely scrutinized and
criticised. III he be legislator 1t
would be very natural thing for him
to favor law restricting the free
dom Of his newspaper biographers
and critics, and, if he be a judge, to
see that such a law il, enforced. Such
laws, however, are, beyond certain
limits, far from the spirit in which
this. nation was conceived, and very
far indeed from the spirit that will
insure its success and perpetuity. IN
bridled license in newspaper writing
il not to be encouraged and libellers
should be punished, but there should
be no possibility in this country of
ours of any definite and general &C
ton to curb the honest freedom of the
press. If these frequent charges and
trials show . tendency ii this direc-
ton they give evidence of a very
grave danger to our nation.-Publish-

FLUoR SPAR MINE
FOUND IN LINCOLN
Remarkably Pure Specimen Of This
Valuable Metal Discovered On
s. n. Baughman's Farm

That Lincoln county may become
large producer of fluor spar, or
barytes, which is used as one of
the ingredients of a certain paint IS
believed by many who have seen a
sample of this valuable mineral
which was blown out of the ground
on the farm of Mr.. s. II. Baughman,
about mile from town on the
Somerset pike. The piece Of miner
al was brought to town and is on
exhibition at the First National
Bank. The specimen is almost
tirely free of foreign substances.
pure white in color, and seems en-
tirly free of foreign substances.
Those who are experienced in metal.
lurgy say that it is a fine sample,
and if the deposit on Mr.. Baugh-
mans farm contains quantity suf-
ficiently large to make working it
profitable, the "mine" ought to
prove very valuable.
Mr.. Baughman "dug up the
mineral while one Of his men was
doing some blowing in the field
south of his house. There was
large rock projection above the
earth, in which was good sized
fissure. Mr.. Baughman had some
dynamite at the house. so he pro-
cured stick and set it off in the
fissure of the rock, thinking to blow
it out Of the field, where it hinder
ed blowing. When the top cover
ing had been blown off, and the for
nation beneath exposed, it was seen
to be of the peculiar white color,
and W. II. Wearen recognized it as
fluor spar or barytes.
The barytes mines in Jessamine
county are being worked very
profitably by their owners, and it is
not improbable that an expert will
be asked to come here and look over
the young mine which has been UNI
covered on Mr.. Baughman's place.
