For New Health Laws.

To give the State Board of Health real
authority instead of nominal over health
conditions in all parts Of the State will be
the object of one or more bills which the
board will submit to the Legislature next
month.
DIR. John S. Fulton, secretary of the
board. says that the bills have not yet
been drafted and that the provisions are
still under discussion.
THE Board of Health" said Dr. Fulton.
undoubtedly needs a great many more
active agents in all parts of the State. over
whom the board will have authority and
who can be made to carry out its decisions.
The agents of the board in the counties at
present may do as they like about obeying
the orders Of the board, or may be stopped
from doing what they may try TO do by
the County Commissioners.
Although the board is supposed to have
the power to remedy dangerous conditions
in any part of the State. the county Off
Gals may snap their fingers at any order
Of the board whenever they see fit.
This might be all right if il were the
one county that was to suffer or be in
danger. but unfortunately typhoid fever
and diphtheria and other diseases pay no
attention to county lines or geographical
boundaries. Bad health conditions in one
part of the State affect other parts, and
there should be some central authority to
have effective supervision over the whole. '

He Scores The Governor.

II do not believe members of the Pro-
gressive party in Maryland will be alarmed
by the prediction made by Gov. Colds
borough, in an interview here. that that
party will not live to see another National
and State election" said former Congress-
man George A. Pearre, of Cumberland, last
Saturday.
ANYONE who knows Gov Goldsborough,
knows he betrayed the trust of the people
of Maryland as delegate to the last Re-
publican National Convention, when he
acted against their instructions, and they
will not be surprised at anything he says or
does.
Those of us who know him well and are
familiar with his political career, know
that he Is not fixed star in the political
armament, but a Jackson satellite-one
who has always followed in the wake of
the jackson money.
ITO Gov. Goldsborou9hs invitation to re-
turn to the Republican fold, those of us
who left 1t and joined the Progressive
party, not because we wanted office but
because there were too many like Colds
borough in the Republican party-are not
apt to return to the fold upon invitation of
men of the Goldsborough type.
1.-THE alleged harmony dinner. it ap-
pears, was failure, as from all accounts
it created more friction than harmony.
Indeed. am told that the Republicans
of Frederick county are fighting mad. AL
though Frederick county gave Goldsborough
one Of the largest majorities of any county
in the State, am informed that no one
from Frederick county was invited to the
dinner here.
There is a suspicion that with Mr.. Ram
say as host, the voice was the voice of
Jacob. but the hand was the hand Of Esau.
as most people who take the trouble to
think about these things believe that they
see behind Mr.. Ramsay the hand Of a
former resident Of Allegany county now
living in Baltimore, whose family has po-
litical ambitions for him."

Lewis Telephone Bill Is Now Ready.

The bill of Congressman David j. Lewis.
of the Sixth Maryland District, cO-author
of the parcel post law, providing that the
Government shall embark upon policy of
owning the telephone lines, is ready for
introduction in the House. Mr.. Lewis,
after months of study, is prepared to recon-
mend that the Government buy the Amer
lean Bell and subsidiary telephone system
and the independent lines, but that it shall
not acquire the telegraph lines.
While the Lewis measure has not yet
been given the Ac Hinistration o. X, the
Maryland member has had the support of
the Administration in his researches to the
extent that he has been allowed the use
of a room in the Postoffice Department.
Whether the Administration will adopt
the Lewis bill. or propose to 60 still further
toward Government ownership, is to be
settled. There are reports that the Ad-
ministration would 60 the whole route and
take over both telephone and telegraph
systems.
The bill prepared by Mr.. Lewis pro-
vides:
That all telephone lines be purchased at
a valuation to be fixed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. and that the Gov
eminent. by attaching telegraph instru-
ments to the Bell and independent phone
lines, conduct both telegraph and tele-
phone business.
That there shall be an immediate decrease
in the long-distance rates and an ultimate
decrease in the local telephone rates.
That the lines shall be acquired by is
suing per cent bonds, running for forty
years. Owners of telephone stock may
take either cash or bonds for their holdings
That postage stamps may be used in
payment for the transmission of telegraph
messages over the phone lines, thus dimin-
ishing accounting costs and bookkeeping.
That the system shall be operated under
the Jurisdiction of the Postoffice Depart
ment.
Mr.. Lewis. it is understood, estimates
that the Bell and other telephone lines may
be acquired for approximately 100000
900. 1t is estimated that the Government
should make $l00O00O0O per year in
their operation.
Mr.. Lewis will contend that the acquis-
ton of the telephone lines without buying
the Western Union and Postal Telegraph
Companies-willb bring about a reduction
in rates to the consumer and will n4Ake
possible the transmission of messages to
practically all parts of the country.
The Maryland member will accompany
his bill with a comparative statement of
the cost of sending telephone and telegraph
messages in this country and Europe. this
country appearing at a disadvantage, so
far as the user is concerned in the COM
pilation Of comparative rates.

Good For The County.


The Times Crescent. La Plata, Md.
1t is with a great deal of qualification
that the announcement is received that
Walter Garner, a Charles county boy. has
received first place in the Boys Corn con-
test of Maryland This contest was open
to the boys throughout the State and it is
a great boom to our county that one of
her young farmer boys was able to produce
a product that surpassed that of any other
place in Maryland.
Young Garner will. aside from winning
the county prize of forty dollars, get a
medal from the U. S. Agricultural Depart
ment, free trip to Washington for one
week and will have his photograph taken
with the President of the United States,
and will meet the big men of the Govern
ment.
Garner raised by measure no l-2 bushels
of corn. and by weight 1l8 bushels. or
20 5-8 barrels per acre at a cost of
about one dollar per barrel, after paying
five dollars rent for his land and taking
into consideration the cost of fertilizer.
labor and everything connected with the
growing of his crop.
In the competition were boys from all
the Southern Maryland counties, Mont
gomery. Howard. Baltimore, Carroll, Har-
ford and others. some of the very best
agricultural counties in the State. and il
is a mighty gratifying and encouraging
fact to know that we can compete with
them all, and beat them. too. when il
comes to producing this very important
farm staple.
Young Garner has not only done some
thing for himself. in the way Of reaping a
pecuniary prize. but has won an honor
that is not to be lightly considered and he
has done service to his county not to be
invaluable to ii. for never before has il
been so well advertised as to its real pos
sibilities. He has wrought real demon
stration that speaks for itself and shows
to the people Of the State that we have
an excellent agricultural country after all.

Maryland's Mineral Production
Nearly Eleven Million Dollars.

The value Of the mineral production of
Maryland in 1912 was $i0.9l6. 761. and il
to this is added the output Of pig iron
produced in the State the total reaches
SIS. 100000. according to figures compiled
by E. W. Parker. of the United States

State, the value of the coal being over half
Of the value of the States mineral output
Coal mining In Maryland began in the first
quarter of the nineteenth century. in the
Georges Creek region. the coal being ship
ped by barges on the Potomac River. The
first Incorporated company was organized
in 1886. The product Of the Cumberland
big vein, noted for its high grade steam
ing and smithing qualities, has furnished
most Of the coal produced in the State. The
output in 1912 was 1894 .038 short tons,
valued at $5.839.O79.
Next to coal mining the most important
mineral industries in Maryland are clay
working and stone quarrying. The clays
Of Maryland are widely distributed and
are suitable for variety of uses. Those
Of the coastal plain part Of the State are
used largely for the manufacture Of build
ing brick and terra Gotta. The clays Of
the western part Of the State are used in
the manufacture Of fire brick which are
regarded as among the highest grades
made in the United States. The value of
