acz7Fr DEFYlNG FATHER..TIME

An esteemed contemporary in one OF
the Eastern cities. thus pays tribute to
an old friend of this section.
Henry Gassaway Davis, United States
Senator from West Virginia from 1871
to 1883 and candidate for Vice President
on the Democratic ticket in 1904, who
has recently celebrated his ninetieth
birthday, told a reporter in Washing
ton the other day that he expected to
live to be 100 and maybe more. y
Mr.. Davis enjovssthe practically in
estimable advantage of having been
born in Maryland and of having pass
ed the early and habit-forming years on
the comfortable soil of this Common
wealth, with all it's wealth of invigorat-
ing atmosphere and inspiring fellowship
and good things to eat, so that he acquir-
ed in boyhood that generous enjoy
ment of life by which all good Mary
landers are distinguished. Living and
enjoying life have become with him a
fixed habit-one of those good habits
the medical fraternity now tells US we
should not fail to cultivate.
Nevertheless, there is example here
for all. even for the unfortunates to
whom fate denied the early advantages
that fell to the Davis lot The old
bromide. that "a man is as old as he
feels" is still as true as it is bro
midlc, as Mr.. Davis amply testifies.
May the years of his prophecy and de-
sire be his-and every year be filled
with happy days!
To all of which we say most heartily,
amen, so might it be.

POLITICS. THE TEACHER.

Says an editorial writer in great
western journal:
There's one good thing about poll
ties that few people suspect. Slowly,
but surely. it enlarges the popular
knowledge and use of words and phrases
that would otherwise remain absolutely
unknown to the masses. During the
Grant administration, for example, the
whole nation was taught the meaning
of credit mobilier. When Tilden was
running for president, they learned the
word 'usufruct.' During Cleveland S
regime they memorized 'innocuous
desuetude.' Mr.. Bryan gave them
full knowledge of sixteen to one. ,
Theodore Roosevelt taught them the
square DEAL and recent history has
made conservation household word. -
Yes, that is one good thing about
politlcs-lt has increased many a man S
vocabulary. Oftimes, though, the
quality of that vocabulary has suf-
ferred in the process.
There are other good things about
politics from the standpoint of teach
ing Many man in the midst of a
political battle, learn for the fast time,
what the popular meaning of "friend-
ship is asst is used in politics.
In, politics a friend is he who
scratches your back-provided you
scratch his, He will roll your logs up
hill for you-if you roll his uphill for
him. But if while scratching his back
you step on his corns, he ceases to be a
friend" And if while rolling his
logs up hill you don't stop soon enough
and let them roll down on the other
side, he may pick up your log and liam"
you with it.
The brave ladies who have come
out of the oyster fight. alive have
learned several things about. friends"
probably.
: On, yes, politics. teaches US lots of
things we never knew before.

killed at Westernport on that day.
Many inquiries as to the truth of the
matter were received by telephone and
we were glad to inform the public that
the report was false. Mr.. Wilson was
at home at the time and cannot imagine
how the report got started; but he re-
marked that he knew it was false, as
soon as he heard it,

State has entered was never designed
to take the place OF local improve
ments, to relieve Baltimore or any
other community of the duty of taking
care of its own strictly local needs. To
treat it from a sectional standpoint
or. to convert it into a logrolling
pork barrel" proposition would not
only open the door to all sorts of de-
moralizing political influences, but
would prove disastrous to the whole
design of State road building. If the
money is to be apportioned as the
result of a deal between Western
Maryland and the city, for instance,
and if the interest Of the State as
whole are to be subordinated to the
interests of localities, we shall create
a chaotic situation, in which there
WILDE many separated links, but no
connected or complete system, with the
result that our State roads will be
"up in the air" and our country roads
will suffer from depending on State
generosity and failing to utilize their
own resources.
The Price bill makes all the con-
cessions to Baltimore's demands which
could!reasonably be expected, and is at
the same time fair to the counties. 1t
represents a State policy and a State
wide scheme of improvement approved
by experience elsewhere and by the
authority of scientific opinion. No
caucus dictation, inspired by local deals,
should be permitted to cripple or throw
into confusion a work so important to
every section of the State BALTIC. Sun.
