= OvEIaNOR GOLDsBORoUGH and states Attorney

for the time being, to put to the gamb-
ling at Havre de Grace That the racetrsck gamblers
have won temporary victory in the counts for

ough and his subordnates In the fight, and In the end
he is sure TO win. The will close next Monday
and between then aud year the people Of Mary
land will see to IT that the gamblers put out Of
business.
The Grand Jury for Hartford county in a report TO
the court In Beair characterized the directorate OF
the Hayre de Grace track "a clean collar on
dirty shirt" IN other words, that certain men Of re
spectacle standing had permitted their names 10 be
used 10 give a sembiance OF respectability to dis
graceful gambling proposition That grand jury dis
covered that while the track was operated under the
Of the Hartford Agricultural and Breeding Assoc
caton the entire management and Of the rae
Ing, pool selling and other business OF the association
appeared TO be in the hands Edward Burke Of New
York The Grand Jury added that Burke is a man who
has made horseracing his vocation for fifteen years
Admission made by the Grand Jury that It could
do nothing to put end the Hartford county dis
grace. lt recommended, however, that the law
under which the track operates be repealed by
the Legislature al its next session The next
regular session Of the Legislature will not be held
until 1918. Il may be that public sentiment will
demand extraordinary session If other steps taken
by Governor Goldsborough should fail TO put
track gamblers out OF business.

Secretary Nagei Of the Department Of Commerce and
Labor has declined to succumb to the pressure put
him by wator transportation lines to make dangerous
notifications Of the life saving appliance regulations
imposed upon such limos following the Titanic disaster.
The regulations provided Tor a full complement Of
foboats and the installation OF other appliances max
ing for the safety of passengers in time of disaster
Secretary Nagel listened patiently TO the arguments OF
those who sought to break down the safeguards
by Government In all instances where such argu-
ments convincing, he did not hesitate TO make
notifications. When everything had been said and
done however the main featurs Of the protective plan
remained intact In other words the Taft admnisra-
ton has shown that IL stands for public
interest and public safety in the face OF great pres
from large commercial interests.

TAfr sANGuNE OF SUCCESS.

RT close and impartial student Of politics in this
~ country can fail to admit that within the last
month there has been strong drift Of sentiment to-
wards President Taft Seemingly second sober thought
has to The people and they realize what a caam-
itg it would be to put the Democrats in control Of
cur national government It is recognized that the
next President viii be Taft or Wilson and that all
suggestion OF success by any third Ia scarcely
worthy of serious consideration.
President Taft who Is a sensible conservative and
leyel-headed man, has lost faith in the great
American electorate. He has said from the outset
that he would win IN November That assertion has
been made BY him az times when his campaign mana
sers, national and State practically had abandoned
hope OF pulling him through There were friends OF
the President who advised him he was over-sanguine
They failed utterly to convince him of the fact Now
he has issued formal statement in which he says
the Republicans Will carry the solid East and hold
enough Of the Central and Western States to win.
esdeu Taft does conhno himself to genoralities
his statement II is analytical in it's nature He in
IS that the Republican party Is sim the dominant
ry and that the expected growth Of Democratic
Myth has failed to materaiizo The President admits
@ owing to third ticket In the feld the Republicans
essary Will have reduced majority when
ed with that in 1908, but he insists the Democratic
ty will suffer also THE combined strength of tho
d-term party viii not be enough to change the ul-
nate results" the President adds
Attention is called to the fact that hve or six weeks
asserted generally that the Republican party
would the the solid East including all OF
The New England States with the exception of Maine
and Vermont that the Democratic party would main
tain its hold the solid South, and that the third
term party would obtain the solid West leaving only
the Middle West as debatabe ground.
President Taft says that today the Republicans
party hold tho East has been strengthened by the
defeat OF the Progressive party in Vermont and the
Democratic party in Maine Advices received by the
President are that he also will carry Utah. Michigan
minnesota.
With the election more than a month in tho future
there Is no telling what the intervening time will hing
forth y is an admitted fact however. that the sup.

Unreasonable,

A Scottish farmer whose farm was
on the hills to the north of Strathmore
had bought, while on visit to Perth,
his stock of matches for the winter.
Possibly one or two Of the boxes may
have got damp on the way home. Any
way, when his wife took out the first
box she found that the matches would
not light ~ The farmer also tried them
unsuccessfully, taking samples from
several boxes.
On his next visit to Perth he took
the pile Of matchbcxes with him and
threw them Indignantly on the counter
of the tobacconist with the remark,
They Wilma lichtr'
Wilma licht," repeated the shop
keeper, surprised. He took out one
match, drew it smartly across the side
of his trousers leg and brought it up
alight. The farmer watched him in
tently, and the shopkeeper repeated
this with a number of the matches.
each of which spluttered into flame.
What do you mean" he demanded,
by sayin' they Wilma licht:''
Aye" said the farmer. but do you
think 1 can come doom a the road to
Perth to haze rub O. your breeks every

CARE OF AUTO CL0TCH.
How to Oil Leather Faced Type
Quickly and Effectively.

How to Oil Leather Faced Type
Quickly and Effectively.
Automobiles that have the leather
faced type clutch should be inspected
once a month and the leather given
an application of neatsfoot or castor
oil.
Apply the oil by placing the clutch
in the released" position and then
spreading the oil over the surface of
SO much that it will not be absorbed
by the leather. 1t is preferable to
do this at such a time that the car can
stand overnight and thus give the oil
time to penetrate. When the clutch
slips 1t is usually due to an excess of
iubricating Oil on the leather. Fuller's
earth or talcum powder stfted in upon
the face of the leather will usually
overcome the difficulty. In an emer-
gency the oil may be removed with
gasoline, but care should be taken to
apply neatsfoot oil as soon as possible,
because the gasoline absorbs the nat,
ural oil of the leather and leaves 1t
very dry and harsh.
1t may sometimes be found neces-
sary to increase the tension Of the
clutch spring to overcome slipping,
but this is very seldom the case. When
the leather is dry and hard the clutch
will take hold harshly. Several appli.
cations of neatsfoot Oil may be neces
sary to overcome this, especially If II
has been neglected for some time.

SIRIUS, THE DOG STAR.
II Gives Out Thirty Times More Light
and Heat Than Our Sun.

It Gives Out Thirty Times More Light
and Heat Than Our Sun.
The dog days are the hottest part of
the year, a period which the ancients
associated with the heliacal rising of
Sirius, the dog star-that is, when Sir
1us and our own sun crossed the merid-
ian at the same time in midsummer
The great heat was supposed to extend
from twenty days before the rising of
Sirius until twenty days after; hence
the total dog days were forty. The Ro-
mans dated the period from July 3 to
August II.
The dog days can be no longer iden-
titled with the rising Of Sirius owing to
the effects Of procession. the star rising
later every year. In time Sirius will
cross the meridian in midwinter At
present the dog days are popularity sup
posed to extend from July Is to Aug.
Is, but are not associated with the star
This is the hottest and most unpleas-
ant period in our latitude.
Sirius, the dog star, may be easily
recognized, as he is five times brighter
than any other star in our Armament
He gives out thirty times more light
and heat than our own sun, but is
$4,000 times farther away. He now
rises about 1871 degrees south Of due
east and in our latitude Is with US from
October to May. In midwinter he is in
full view for ten hours every clear
night.-Christian Herald

Representative Ralph W. Moss Of
Indiana hurried to Washington when
congress started up and engaged COM
Portable living quarters before his wife
arrived. She reached the capital some
weeks later on Saturday night. The
next morning she said:
Now, Ralph. Wen go to church, of
course. Which church have you been
attending?"
"Wh-er-uh, which one have I been
attending. you sayT repeated the con-
gresham. why. there's a mighty nice
little church down here just a couple of
blocks It's such an easy walk that I've
been going there rather than to some Of
the more fashionable churches"
"All right If you feel at home there.
that's where We'll Co." said the con-
gressmans wife. I'VE haven't much
time, anyhow"
So they put on their things and went
to the little church down the street
When they got inside they made a
startling discovery.
They were the only white people IL
