DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES.

The Democrats practically swept the
country at the elections in the several
State on Tuesday, thus giving emphatic
endorsement and approval to President
Wilson's administration.
In New Jersey, where President Wilson
was especially interested in the success
of his friend James F. Fielder, candidate
for Governor, as well as the ticket gener-
ally, the Democrats won handsome
victory, earring the State by 10000.
In MARYLAND Blair Lee, the democratic
candidate for the United States Senate,
won by 1900 over the Republican and
Progressive candidates. This is also
gratifying to the administration, as 1t
strengthens the Democratic majority in
the Senate. Mr.. Bryan stumped the
State for Lee.
In Massachusetts, the Wilson democ-
racy swept the State handsomely. David
|. Walsh was elected Governor by So
600 plurality, running far ahead OF all
the other Candidates.
In New York City Tapmany Hall was
showed under. the fusion candidate for
mayor, John Puroy Mitchell, being elected
mayor by plurality OF more than ILL.,
600. The election of Mitchell is a great
victory for the advocates OF good govern
ment, and the administration at Wash
ington is gratified that Murphy and the
corrupt Tammany Hall organization is
ousted from power. William Sulzer,
who rad been deposed as Governor OF
the State OF New York. was triumphantlY
elected to the State Senate, and declares
that he will make it hot for Murphy and
his other political enemies. OF the Six
teen officials who have charge OF New
York's financial affairs and control the
city's purse, Tammany has but one.
In Virginia there was little opposition
to the Democratic ticket, which was
elected by large majority.
Newton Baker was re. elected mayor OF
the city Of Cleveland, Ohio, by a major
ity of about 1000. The Republicans
made terrific fight against him.
The Democrats made pretty nearly a
clean sweep in Washington county, Md.
For United States Senator, Blair Lees
majority over Parran is 474. The only
Republican elected in the COUNTY is Scott
Corbett, Rexford Harhe being the unlucky
one of five Democratic candidates for the
Legislature who was defeated. Otto W.
King is elected sheriff, E. K. Darby coun-
ty surveyor, and Barry M. Hartle county
clerk.

ONE thing was made very plain by the
elections on Tuesday-the country has
confidence in and is satisfied with the
administration of President Wilson. He
has received splendid vote of confidence
and Democratic tariff legislation is ap-

earnestly behind the President in the
legislative programme that he has mapped
out, and they not only endorse what has
been done, but they approve his plans for
further reform measures.

Dear Editor was very much sur
prised when seen the small advertise
ment in your paper of October 10th about
my coming TO this city TO work. Mr..
Editor, had thought that you were not
going to pick on me any more, for |
surely think that have had my share in
your paper in the past, and now it seems
so strange that you will still continue, for
you know that have asked you so often
10 stop it. And more of it. You do not
give me Justice, for know OF lots of
young men from Old ShepherdStoWn
that 90 away to work and you never
print line on them. Some Of them
even have good positions and never go
to work. Now please say to your sub
scriberS for the Register that am hurt OF
the last notice that came out in the paper
OF the 10th of October about me, and that
you are going TO give me rest in the fu-
ture, and by doing so you will ever
oblige the one that has so frequently fur
niShed you news for the Register, and
that is no one else but
JAMES LAWRENCE MCCHAN.
II is with deep regret that we record
Mr.. McChan's request, for we feel that
he is depriving the Registers readers OF
great enjoyment and closing to us an
avenue OF news through which has passed
many good things. Who can ever forget
the trip from Kansas City, Missouri ?
The hegira to Roanoke ? The move to
Hagerstown, Waynesboro and return ?
The visit TO Washington by way of the
raging canal? The adventure with the
Frederick girl ?-and score OF other
episodes so faithfully chronicled in the
Register and which brought TO the sub
ject OF the sketches fame not only in this
country but even in foreign lands where
this paper has subscribers. We will OF
course comply with Mr., McChdn's re-
quest, but we hope that he will recon-
slider and lit the embargo, restoring 10
us our old-time privileges.

In indianapolis last week the National
Convention of Methodist Men adopted
strong resolutions endorsing national
prohibition and favoring the work of the
Anti-Saloon League. The resolutions
set forth that eve stand for the speediest
possible suppression of all liquor traffic"
and that "the only proper attitude Of
civil government toward anything so
harmful as the liquor traffic is that Of
absolute prohibition" MethodiSts are
urged to cooperate in all movements for
liquor prohibition.
If all the Christian people of the United
States would conscientiously work and
vote for prohibition il would soon be &C
complished. Indeed, the great Method
ist Church itself could probably bring it
about il its members were earnestly united
in one great effort 10 this end.

The increase of insanity is becoming
alarming in Maryland. There are now
more than 5000 insane persons in the

is increasing at the rate OF 100 each year.
The cost OF caring for them is nearly a
million dollars annually, and will soon
pass this amount.
This is The same old story OF the effect
of alcohol. The superintendent of one OF
the large insane aSylums of this country
once told the Register that 90 per cent
OF the inmates ofthe institution were there
because of liquor, either from use person.
ally or because of alcoholic ancestry.
Maryland'S remedy, then, for this increas-

to the mad-house. Think of tolerating an
evil that is destroying mind and body

"Of course It is a great relief to

One important fact noted by Pro
fessor Spaid was that in almost every
instance the playground space pro-
vided was insufficient for the great
number Of children. making strongly
manifest the need for more space.
I Professor Spaid thought tho city
was making grave mistake in not
obtaining the land offered to the Park

ground for needed playground worl
