A Joint political debate was held on
Monday last, in the Lyric in Baltimore,
between Senator lsdor Rayner. OF Mary
land, and Hon. Bourke Cochran. of
New York. The big hall was filled to

unable to attend. Mr. Cochran de-
Tended Mr.. Roosevelt and his tenets.

glowing tribute to Governor Wilson.
POINTS IN MIR. CoCKRAN'S SPEECH.
We are making a fight for the indus.
trial workers, whose condition is worse
than that of the slaves in the South.
The slave, secure in his health, secure
in his food, clothing and housing. en-
joyed more advantages in life, than does
the modern free worker.
These undesirable conditions in our
industrial life are due TO judicial decis-
ions. Shall we regulate our liberties by
judicial formulas
Upon our men and women depends
the security OF our future generations.
Are We zealously guarding this security.

now and there is every reason to think that fund larger than that of last year will be raised. If the amount is sufficient the band will be engaged for II or 12 weeks. An effort should be made to increase the band to 24 or 25 men. In or der to secure 25 musicians for daily concerts for 12 weeks, something like s6000 will have to be raised. But it should be as easy to raise that much money now as it was $2000 year be- fore last. Heretofore most of the con- tributions have been in large sums, but in addition to the large donations there should be several hundred $5 
 Six thousand dollars can be secured if the Chamber of Commerce will give it's active support to the cause, and certain it is that few civic matters de- serve more attention than open air music for the masses.

From the HOutn s COfflpdHiou.
 The four Gerton girls were all good looking; but the three younger ones were exceedingly beautiful. Annie, the eldest however. easily made up in efficiency and good sense what she lacked in looks
 A young man, entirely eligible, called on the girls frequently, but seemed un- able to decide which to choose. So Annie put her thinking cap on, and one evening when the young man called she appeared with her pretty arms bare to the elbow and her hands white with flour.
 You must excuse my appearance, she said, T have been working In the kitchen all day I baked the bread and pies and cake this morning. and after ward, as the cook was sick, l prepared dinner"
 My compliments" said the young man, deeply impressed. Then. after moments s thought, he added;
 Miss Annie, there is question l wish to ask you, and on your answer will de- pend much of my life's happiness
 "Yes?" she said, with blush, while she drew a little nearer. "Yes? what is it?''

Tolls and Transcontinental Railroads


 Col. George W. Goethals, chief en- gineer of the Panama canal, is in Washington, and he has told the Sem ate interpceanic canals committee that he expects to put the first ship through the Panama canal in August or September of next year.
 He desires Congress to make a toll sheet, or to authorize the President to make one. He says the transconti- mental railroads are engaged in throt- ting business by way of Panama, but he declines to favor at present the proposition to shut out of the canal all boats owned or controlled by the railroads. He declines, however, to have anything to do with such ques- tions.
 The attempt of the transcontinental railroads to control passenger or freight through the canal is problem that the government will take hold of with firm hand. It will be attempted and the disguise may be so complete that it cannot be traced. There is scarcely any problem connected with the canal that it more serious.
