LITTLE LILA HUNTER NAY.
A Tribute from the Cradle Roll
of Waterproof Sunday School

1t is with feeling of sadness that we
place by the name Of Little Lila May, a
golden star. A feeling of sadness; yes,
and feeling of joy, for we know that
Lila is simply transplanted to home
of everlasting joy and happiness, where
sorrow never comes and where there are
no good-byes. She is safe in the arms
of Jesus.
No more pattering of little feet, no
more lisping Mother" no more playing
with SISTER," for Little Lila is playing
in Gods garden.
She was such sweet little baby that
we know it is hard for loved ones to say,
"Thy will be DONE" but just remember
that "God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform. "Now we SEE
through glass, darkly; but then face to
face"
Loving hands did all that could bt
done, but God wanted another LITTLE
angel. The Dear Little One will be seer
here no more, but there's one more loved
one OIL the other side, one more link in
the Heavenward chain, one more beck.
oning hand.
| beautiful hands of little one, see!
Baby voice calling. Or! mother, for thee;
ROsy-cheek'd darling the light of the home
Taken so early, Is beckOning Gomez

THE PkIr1ARY LAW SHOULD BE
eMENOED.

The letter written by former SEN
ator Frere to the Baltimore Sun
which was put lished in our last is
sue calls for serious thought and re-
fsction. Under the present primary
election lev it is almost impossible
foi a poor mau to run for pablic Of
fee and especially state office. The
present primary election law should
be amended aud in a good many par
tl.ulars. II was framed and enacted
upon the principle Of popular rale in
the selection Of candidates for nomi-
nation but its short history has prov
en- that only the rich can enter into
any contest ( r Office and this should
not be. / he field should be as free
for the poor man as the rich, in which
each would have an equal show. the
father Of the present law is rich
man and he was one of the FIST to
test the law when a candidate for the
nomination for Governor several
years ago an he had rich competi
tor. That campaign demonstrated
beyond any doubt that only the rich
could compete for such an honor as
the Governorship of the State. Where
would a poor man have been in that
fight The only show a poor man
has under the present law to ru for
any state office would be when no
one else wants the nomination.
The results Of the past would seem
to Indicate that the old convention
system is a far better method Of nom
mating candidates. Ths present sys-
TEN and the old might BE- likentd to
case Of amoney VS.. bossism." In
other words, the bosses controlled
under the old convention system
while under the present system
money controls the nominate n to
high Office.
The people Of this state will rejoice
when the day comes that the voice Of
the voters can be felt and b ard free
AMI untrammelled. We believe in
the people ruling and want them
rule as the law inteeded they should.
We believe that body If men
enancipatsd from partisanship could
frame primary election law that
would give to the people what the
present one purports to do but does
not do and until this time arrives we
may expect the present conditions TO
prevail unless We go back to the old
convention system. There is room
for perfecting the law and it fhould
be- done.

The amount Of power expended
on playing or piano has recently
been figured ort in way which, i
not altogether accurate, is at least in
ter, sting. Commenting on the state
ment that it already requires more
force to SCUM note gently on this
instrument thai it does to lift the
lid Of kettle, it is easy to verify III
II one takes a small handful OF coins
and piles them on a key OF the piano
When a sufficient quantity is piled
on to make note sound they NAV
be weighed, and the figures will be
found to be true. II the pianist is
playing fortissimo, much greater
force is needed. AT times the force
Of six pounds is thrown upon single
key to produce a solitary effect.
With chords the force is generally
spread over the various notes sound
ed simultaneously, though a greater
output of force is undoubtedly ex-
pended. This Is what gives pianists
the wonderful strength in their fng-
ers that is often commented upon.
Chopin's best piece in @ minor has
passage which takes two minutes
and five seconds to play. rhe total
pressure brought to bear on this, it
is estimated, is equal to three fall
tons. The average, stonnage" Of an
hours playing of Chopin's music
varies from II to 81 tons. Wagner
hrs not yet been calculated upon
these lines.

CONTINUE RAISING ToBAcco.

There appears to be a tendency on
the part of some of our farmers of
Southern Maryland to give up the
raising of tobacco on the ground that
it is no longer profitable. This we
strongly advise against There will
always be a good market for this
crop which has been the principal
money pfodu, ing crop that OR farm
ers have had for over a generation.
OF course it may be true that some
years the prices may not be as high
others but that is no reason why any
farmer should stop raising it. We
believe Iii diversifying so that in the
years when the prices for tobacco ar;
low that the deficiency may be made
up in some other way. Tobacco
raising will always pay and II } farmer
can well afford to give up its pro-
duction.
We urge our farmers not only to
continue raising tobacco on as large
a scale as heretofore but to raise al
f.lfa and other grass crops which
can be raised here and pro6tably.
Alfalfa can be raised in this county
as has been proven by Hon. Rober.
Cfsin, who has the finest crop 10
Southern Maryland and one of the
two finest in the state. The Direc-
tor Of the farmers institute tells us
that Mr.. Grain, in this county, and
Me-. Coucilman, in Baltimore county,
have the finest crops Of alfalfa in the
state. This being true demonstrates
that alfalfa can be raised anywhere
in the state. And grass crops are al
ways saleable and at good prices
II our farmers want to be success.
full they should not only continue
raising tobacco but also raise other
crops. Tobacco always has market
and SO has good hay. Our farmers
are today buying hay when they
should have bountiful supply from
their own lands.
