considered by the Democrats of Mary
land as the better exponent Of the De-
mocracy Of the State. For a good
deal more than hundred years the peo-
pie of Maryland, in the exercise of the
principle of home rule. have been able
to make intelligent and independent Sc
lections of their representatives in Con-
gress. and. in my judgment. they will
continue to do so as heretofore. They
are the arbiters. and the only arbiters,
who should decide. or attempt to decide.

Senators, and they are the only arbi-

The sentiment Of the people, particu-
larly the sentiment of the Democratic
voters. can easily be ascertained with
out making primary fight bitter, re-
sulting in party discord. Therefore. |
shall do nothing in or before the coming
primary fight which will. in my judg-
ment, tend TO materially weaken the
chances of general party success; and
hope your anxiety will not blind you to
the same most important consideration.
Should you succeed in your ambition
TO 20 to the Senate, your term would
not begin until March. 1915. Now is
the time that Congressional action is
necessary for Democratic success.
Therefore, what practical reason is there
for a joint debate to predict what you
might or might not do under conditions
htah m mr.
to seek to guess, or surmise. if given
an opportunity (which is not yours

shall, therefore, continue TO perform
my official duties as best can, giving
to them my first care and first thought:
afterward, as time and chance may
offer. shall make what effort may
be able, with the help Of many loyal
friends throughout every part of the
State. to carry the Senatorial primary
/ in November, keeping always in view,
as paramount, the success of the party.
Such debate as you suggest. while
it might perhaps prove helpful to me,

therefore result in harm to that party
which has signaily honored me, and
which Loyalty serve, and have served.

Fraud Paint

The worst mistake one is likely to
make in painting is wrong paint; it is
easy to make.
We all say "Ours is the best" and
there are 1000 Of us One is best; but a
dozen are so near on a level that no one
knows, for sure. that his is the one.
The worst paints are worst liars; they
know that they are, put on bold face.
and brazen il out.
Their one true argument is low price;
but low price paint is always, must be,
fraud: it is made to cheat cheatable
people.

Committee Assignments.

Senator John Walter Smith
has been placed upon some of
the most important Committees
of the Senate among the num-
Der being the Naval Committee,
Appropriations Committee.
and as Chairman of the District
of Columbia Committee he is
virtually the head of the Wash
ington City government. The
w Washington Evening Star says
of this appointment:
Senator Smith of Maryland
has served on the District COM
mittee since his accession to
membership in the upper house
Of Congress four years ago. and
is therefore now thoroughly
familiar with the duties of that
committee as a branch of the
Districts legislature. His selec-
ton as chairman insures the
National Capital friendly.
helpful interest at the head of
the table and the District is
grateful for his choice. His
residence close at hand gives
him a direct, almost a local.
concern in the affairs of Wash
ington. the federal city. He is
acquainted with the necessities
and alive to the opportunities
here presented for the develop
ment of an ideal capital. In
the course of his membership
on the District committee Mr..
Smith has been active in the
promotion of those interests
which make for the evolution
of the model Washington, and
has moreover been steadfast in
his championship of the organ
ic act, which is so essential TO
the maintenance of the capital
community on the scale of eff
cheney and completeness of
equipment which the country
expects. Important matters
will come before the Senate
committee during the present
Congress, and Senator Smith $
Craftsmanship will doubtless
prove of material advantage to
the District. Without doubt
cordial relation will quickly be
established between him in his
new capacity and the citizens
who are required by circum-
stances to present themselves
/ from time to time at the Capitol
in the furtherance of the Dis
trict's interests. His member
ship on the Appropriations COM
mittee will serve to the advan-
tage of both the District and
the committees themselves. 1t
is always important that the
chairman of the District COM
mittee should be in a position
to work directly on the local
budget"

The White House is to be as
.'dry"under this administration
as it was under that of Ruther-
ford B. and Lucy w. Hayes.
But the diplomats, who are
accustomed to the use of wine
with their dinners, had a refuge
then at the residence of the
Secretary of State which they
will lack now. Mr.. Evarts used
to say that Mr.. Hayes got him
TO give the customary enter
tainments TO the diplomatic
corps because they would not
enjoy a dinner without wine.
and Mrs. Evarts did not forbid
William N. from ornamenting
the banquet board with the
fermented juice of the grape.
And then Mr.. Hayes neglected
to reimburse his Secretary OF
State for the expense he had
imposed on him. In the pres.
ent Administration il is under
stood that the residence of the
Secretary of State will be as
"dry" as that of the President
of the United States. Under
the circumstances Secretary oil
the Navy Daniels will be kept
busy shaking thirsts. - lila

rlarbury on the Stump

Mr.. William l.. NJ bury,
Heavenly inspired candidate
for the L. , Senate to succeed
Hon. John Walter Smith, open
ed his campaign in a fair sized
meeting at Centreville Tuesday
last. Mr.. Marbury made an
able address, but he passed
over his own political record as
a matter of no moment, and he
was so anxious to please Bryan
Democrats that he stopped over
in his laudations and praise
of the great Commoner. But
"there's the rub, those staunch
BRYAN men have good mem
cries. and they remember that
it is the same Bryan and the
same principles that he stands
for now and stood for then, that
were only short while ago re-
pudiated by Mr.. Marbury. But,
says Mr.. Marbury, this was
some time back, | have had a
change of heart since | did all
in my power TO help elect Re
publican Presidents and Repub-
lican United States Senators.
Mr.. Marbury very aptly asso-
ciated himself with the late
John X. Cowen whose Democ-
racy was so straight that be
pied a stand pat high tariff Re-
publican. a member of the gang
who took his medicine from
DIR. Bill Stewart, or any other
of the crowd who kindly ad.
ministered it. This is one of
the men to whom Mr.. Marbury
points with pride and likens
unto himself.
Mr.. Marbury's speech at Cen
treville was devoted principally
to the votes of Senator Smith
on the lumber schedule. He
did what Senator Smith pre-
dicted his opponents would
do, turned and twisted these
votes To suit his own selfish
purpose, Withholding any facts
which would show that Sena-
tor Smith twice voted for FREE
LUMBER.
In regard TO the President
using his influence in this
State against other candidates
Mr.. Marbury used the soft pedal
in his Centreville speech. He
very plainly intimated that the
President had more sense than
to take such action, but that he
did like Mr.. Marbury and fa-
vored him-and that's all 1t
looks very much like the presi-
dent has been grossly mlsrep-
resented in mis- attitude toward
the Maryland Senatorial con-
test.
To save his life Mr. Marbury
cannot reconcile his votes
agaist some of the best and
most able Democrats of the
State and Nation to the opera
tions of a boss-controlled pri-
mary.
The meeting of Mr.. Marbury
at Centreville was timed to get
good crowd during the session
of the county court, and a large
party Of bis followers from
other counties went TO help
make a fair-sized audience.
Political leaders of Qeen Anne's
County declare that Senator
Smith will carry it by big
majority.

The Kent News says "Sena-
tor Smiths reply to Marbury ;
challenge can't be beat. our
honored Senator is equal to all
occasions, and the man who
gave free books to the children
of Maryland will be reelected
by a tremendous majority. He
is worthy, capable and deserv-
ing.

Our Mormon Elders.

Two WANDERERS worn and weary
Called at the writer's gate,
Saints of this our latter day
But still not up to date.
TOiling meath summers sun
No purse or scrip possessing,
They come in faith and love to bring
To US their greatest blessing.
Strangers in Il strangers land
Few friendly faces meet them
While toillng OH their weary way,
With no loved ones 10 greet them.
To teach them now the better way
Lest they perchance defile US,
We found, alas. to our surprise,
We'd tackled Paul and SilaS.
To storm the works of Satan
His fortress to besiege,
They're just from Salt Lake City,
Strong in the privilege.
To have US all of one pure mind
Ali birds of the same feather
United in the bond of love
When all may flock together,
Be led no more by pastors green
Beside the placid waters,
No widows seeking nuptial bliss,
And no unweded daughters.
No hungry flock or starving fleece,
So sad, but not amazing,
The pastor may be ali so nice,
But all too short for grazing.
Our Brigham was family man
Progressive in his life,
With lots of pretty lady folks
Com posing Bingham's wife.
OF Joseph's inspiraticp
We meet With cool accord,
Nor do they seek TO burien US
With Lucre for the LoIG.
The goOdey man who never errS
Such nereticS devOurS.
He loves the apostolic church,
And the true church is ours.
Remember what the Master said,
Then let Us have care
For entertaining strangers
Or angels unaware.
Assist your brother mortal now,
While both are in the way,
The parting Of the ways may come
Before another day.
