| ly clear, according to the New York reg
ulars, to lead to the defeat of the entire
congressional slate from that city, the
biggest block Of Democrats, with one ex-
ception, in the national House.
This quarrel is one of the inevitable
things. a merchant may put out sign,
regardless of the goods he has in stock.
The Democracy may select for its cleo
toral tieket-really its sign-the most
idealistic of mugwumps, but when he is
once in office the party must deal with
it's realities. These are Tammany hall
in New York and its equivalent in every
northern city. These involve southern
leadership of Congress, in both branches,
with all the resulting sectional effects.
Collector Malone himself has felt obliged
to issue denial of the report that he
had said the New York congressional
delegation was composed "of thieves.
crooks and buccaneers" Had he said
this he would have been guilty Of some
exaggeration.
The antagonistic elements OF the De.
mocracy remain in sufficient harmony
when they are out of power. They are
good promisers. Each side can promise
all the things In the world, but when
they have the patronage to distribute
and the laws to make. they have to show
their hand--or to deliver their goods, to
maintain the analogy Of the storekeeper.
And then the trouble comes II seems to
be coming now in dead earnest.-Boston

CURRENT COMMENT
Those Empty Pews.

Full church pews for Sunday worship
will not be found in those communities
where religious interest is wavering and
weakly. Much has been said and writ
ten on this subject but after all the
theories have been threshed out there
remains the cold, staring fact that a
live religious interest is not found fore
gathering for Sunday worship.
There are so many other matters to
take the peoples attention in these fast
moving times that church attendance
has been cut to that point that only a
festival or some unusual event will draw
fair percentage of the population to
the church doors. Occasionally COM
munity is found where the spirit of wor-
ship prompts the people to attend
church. In these communities the Bible
is not forgotten nor the teachings of
the fathers forsaken.
One of the fundamental principles
upon which religious worship is based is
right living A community that pays
little or no attention TO moral and civil
laws, but runs loosely along as the in
dividual desires dictate, has no wish to
take part in Sunday worship, for they
find no pleasure therein Church pews
viii be filed in just the proportion that
the people believe in the love and mercy
Of God, and forget not in these DAYS of
fast living to return thanks for the
blessings Of life. If we thought more
Of Gods mercies we could the more en-
Joy life's blessings.-Groton Times.

though it mayhap has served one Of it;
functions, which is to please and render
sensation All the fine points of the fan
have been lost because the people have
not been instructed to make the most OF
the exhibition. The people have seen
i some large potatoes and they have mar
veled at the size of them; they have
and have noted the apparent fact that
the exhibits were fine cattle; they have
watched the movements of splendid Nor
gan horses and, yet, have not been more
than specifically interested in the per-
Torrance.
Therefore, to cause the people who
attend the annual Vermont fairs--or at
least fair-sized proportion of them to
study the various exhibits and to learn
something about each that shall prove
of lasting benefit is worth undertaking;
and the combination of the state fair
commission and the Vermont agricultural
extension service is just the sort to do
the work. The latter announces that a
camp will be instituted for farm boys
at the Forthcoming state fair in White
River Junction and that competent lead
ers will be assigned to guide the boys
daily through the varioN exhibits, Civ
ing them expert advice concerning the
good and the bad points Of the exhibits.
To our way of thinking, this win bring
out the good that lies practically dor
mant in the average agricultural fair in
Vermont. The efforts ought to be ae
cepted in the right spirit and quite gen
orally throughout the entire state, under
the liberal terms which are announced
by the joint commissions. The agricul- |
tural interests of Vermont will be adj
vanced veiy materially if there is wide
spread response to the invitation.

DANGERS AT ROAD REPAIR POINTS


The double fatality by automobile in
the town of Pownal last Saturday seems
to have been entirely unnecessary and
ought to have been avoided had reason
able preeaution been taken on the part
of the men engaged in rebuilding the
road and on the part of the driver of the
automobile which slumped off the bank
and rolled 50 feet. In cases where roads
are being rebuilt or are in process of re-
the roadside sufficient distance from
the disturbed roadway in order to give
ample time for bringing a motor vehicle
down to a slow speed, We do not know
whether such warning signs were placed
at this particular piece of road in Pow
nal that was being repaired; but if such
signs were in position and were easily
discernible, the moral responsibility
thereafter was upon the driver Of the
vehicle, who should have reduced the
speed of his machine to such point that
he could stop instantly and, moreover,
the driver should not have taken the
chance of turning out on a section Of
the roadway which had not been pounded
into position, the road material being
still soft. A few seconds lost in the pas.
sage over short stretch OF road like
that in Pownal ought not to be consid-
cred when human lives are in question
The sacrifice of two lives serves to call !
this to ones attention sharply. The OBJ |
vious lesson is, therefore, that road |
builders must set up danger signs at APP
proaches to disturbed highways and driv-
ers of road vehicles must heed those |
warning signs. Be it said to the credit |
OF most builders of roads in Vermont
that they do set up those danger signs
in conspicuous positions and he who dis
regards them does so at his extreme
peril.

REAL BENEFIT FROM VERMONT
FAIRS.

The proposal of the Vermont state
fair commission and the Vermont agri-
cultural extension service to utilize the
state fair at White River Junction for
the purpose of instructing boys and
young men in regard to the exhibits
placed there conmends itself at once as
very fine and worthy of general appre.
citation. Year after year, at the state
fair and score of other fairs in Yer
mont, the managers attract a large num-
her of exhibitors who place prize live
stock and extraordinary farm products
before the public gaze; and year after
year most of those exhibits receive mere
~ casual inspection from the countless
throngs that weave in and out of the
various booths and stands during the
sessions of the fairs. Now and then a
critical observer comes along and he ex-
amines the less prominent features OF
the exhibit, whether the exhibit be
product of the soil or a live creature OF
marked excellence That critical observ.
er gets something of real benefit to him
out of his attendance at the fair
As against him there are hundreds Of
other attendants who get no benefit out
Of the attendance other than that which

pleasing. The benefit lasts as long as
the sensation remains strong; then it is
gone. And. as far as permanent value
Is concerned, the fair is failure because

Scientific Management Among Burglar.

on his character taken from the story OF
him in the current number.
"Blackie was crook who reduced
everything to simple arithmetic. For a

dollars exactly ten times that risk. But

MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL
10 Have Me- Location Of City Dump
Officer Small Resigns Fire
Fund ApporliOned.

Members of the City Council met
in special session at the Council
Chamber last night and disposed of
several matters of moment.
One question Of general Interest
was that as TO providing ways and
means for the disposition of garbage
and refuse in the future. The garb-
/ age dump at present is contiguous
to the city cemetery property and
Northwest and calvert streets. A
multitude of complaints have been
registered against existing c0ndi-
tions, especially since the burning of
refuse and the resultant horrible
odOrs that spre ad over the entire
city.
1t was decided by the Council to
adopt a new ordinance, under which
il will be provided that more se-
cluded spot be found for dumping all
garbage ia the future. Ample time.
however, will be allowed the garbage
contractor, under the provisions of
the proposed ordinance.
The Council received and promptly
accepted the resignation Of Mr. Ed-
ward Small, patrolman of the city
police force. Patrolman Small re-
signed practically under fire. Since
his appointment to the force year
or more ago, several complaints as to
his conduct have been lodged with
the city authorities, and few months
ago the Council held an open innves-
tigation OF one charge, with the re-
suit that Officer Small was rtpri-
manded by the Mayor, and in addition
sentenced to lose fifteen days pay
but compelled to perform his regular
du titles during the period.
1t is understood that the officer re-
Gently committed another offense, but
in the meantime elected to resign.
The Council did not name a success
sor to Patrolman Small, but will do
so at an early date.
The Council made the quarterly ar
portionment of the State funds for
the benefit of the three volunteer fire
companies of the city. The State ap-
propriates ST. annually for the To-
cal fire laddies, because of protection
afforded the State buildings here. and
the fund is distributed among the
three companies by the council in
quartz rly installments. The city re-
tains $3.50 of the fund TO provide tor
purchasing new fire hose when
nee ded.

MRS. FOSTER WEDS AGAIN.
Becomes VIE Of H. B. Reed-An
Interesting Story.

Mrs. Re ginald b. Foster, tor two
years exc cutive Of the Just Govern
ment League Of Maryland, and one of
the most jealous and most popular
advocates o. "the ealse, E" who last
september retired from active suf-
frage work TO give her whole time to
rearing two children, left motherless
by the desth OF Mrs Fosters girl
hood chum, was Saturday married TO
the father Of the children. Herbe TT
B. Reed. OF Orange. N. j., and New
York.
Word Of the marriage was received
here Sunday. The ceremony was per-
formed in New York city. When
Mrs. Foster left her work in BaSti-
more she insisted that she was still
as devoted to the cause as ever, but
that the appeal to her heart was too
strong for her to resist, and she
has since then been a mother to the
children in every possible way.
Mrs. Foster is g sister OF +.
Griswo Thelin and of Mrs. Charles
4. Phelps, Jr. Her husband was
promising young physician. a grad
uate Of the Johns Hopkins Medical
School, who lost his life in an acci-
ent. She had been a nurse and was
graduated from the Johns Hopkins
Nurses School.
The children Mrs. Foster decided
to devote her time in rearing were
Louise and Anna Reed, four and six
wears old, respectively. Mrs Foster
has however. found time to take
some Interest in suffrage, and at
Orange N. j., affiliated herself with
the organization there.
Mrs. Foster was probably second
only to Mrs. Donald r. Hooker in her
tireless activity in the interest of
suffrage. She had much ability as a
spe aker and as an organizer. She
extended the Just Government
League over the whole State, visiting
groups Of women in nearly every town
and stirring them 10 aggressive work.
Mrs. Foster had a particularly eff
fective manner in conversation and in
speaking that won her friends where
ii did not win converts. Her decis-
ion, involving great sacrifice, TO give
her liie TO rearing the children help
ed the cause by showing how one
woman decided when face TO face
with a situationu that mi yht have
been evaded by others less symps-
thetic
Mrs. Foster spent three months
here two winters ago, at Suffrage
ne adquarters in the Claude dlats,
State Circle. and was one of the
registered lobbyists at the Legisla-
tule of 1912. She has many friends
in Annapolis who were surprised and
pleased to hear of her second matri-
mOnial venture.

THE NEW ARMORY
HAVING INFLUENCE
On Work Of Company en-
Increased Attendance.
DRILLS TO BE HELD THURSDAY.
Officers Desire To Fill Few Vacancies
PrOmpilV-The Outlook En-
cOuraglDg.

That the new armory is having the
desired influence in the work of Com
pany M, was indicated by the fine at
tendance at drill last night, and the
interest shown by the members OF
the company during a varied drill
lasting more than an hour.
The fact that the drill is along dit
fsrent lines each night is serving
TO stimulate the interest of the
members of the company and is
qui a success. Adjutant General
Macklin was present during a large
part of the drill, and complimented
the company on its improvement
since his last visit Mr.. L.. IL.
Mang, athletic instruc'o or at the Ma
val Academy, was also visitor.
An additional me mber was mus
tered in last night, il being a no
table fact that there have been re +
cruits on almost every drill night
since the company has drilled in the
now armory. There are now only
ten vacancies in the company, an a as
these are being filled rapidly, sc me
may pe disappointed if they do not
make their applications promptly,
and will lose the opportunity of Sc
curing the best facilities for exercise
and healthful amusement ever open
TO the young men of Annapolis.
After the drill there Was a lively
basketball game under the direction
% Coach Graham Moss between the
first and second teams. Tonight the
r gular team has a game against a
five of the Independt mt Fire Com
pany, captained by Andreas Holly.
The company has taken up basketball
with much ardor, and there are also
good games of indoor baseball at in-
tervals. The indoor range will be
completed in less than week, and
this is Ire to prove an enjoyable
feature, as well as one of most prsc-
tical value.
After a consultation with members
of the company, it was ,cided to
hold drills on Thursday evening here
after, and the next drill of the com
pany will be on Thurs lay, January
29. Sergeants of the regular army
will make regular visits Of instruc-
tion to the companies. and as most #
the companies of the First Regiment
hold their drills on Monday evening,
il was necessary for some of them to
make change. 1t was found that
Thursday would be a convenient date
for most of the members of the COM
psny.
The company decided TO hav ?
another dance on Monday, February
2. the profits to be devoted to sth-
letics. 1t is desired to secure fund
for athletic equipment and uniforms
and to help defray the expenses of q
few trips in order to play games. A
great may of those who attended the
first dance have been asking about a
second. The fine facilities of the ar
mory, large and excellent dancing
floor and commodious dressing rooms,
as we'll as the care which is given to
every feature, insure the popularity
Of any dance given by Compay M.
The officers wish to emphasize the
fact that there are only few vacan-
cies in the company, and that those
desiring to join should apply prompt
ly. There is someone to give infor-
nation on the subject at the armory
at almost any time during the day.
