from the board Of regents.
In 1912 the board had the same

May I add that your statement
to the effect that no discrimination
was used by the board Of regents
against the College Equal Suffrage
League Of young women, in the
boards recent resolution, is incor.
rect as a reading Of the resolutions
published in the Gazette of April
6 will show?
While these resolutions give
other clubs and organizations al
ready using the University name
the opportunity to obtain formal
consent to continue to use it the
College Equal Suffrage Leauae is
not only not given this opportunity
obtain formal consent, but by a
special resolution or paragraph is
entirely prohibited from using it.
In this age of freedom Of thought
and discussion guaranteed by the
constitution. there is no doubt that
every club already active in the
University, be it social, fraternal,
political or religious, republican,
democratic or suffrage. has every
right to use the University name
without discrimination.
And yet we find a non-partisan
league Of young women, voteless,
and allowed to use the university
or college name in at least forty
other colleges and universities of
the country. prohibited from using
the name Of the free University of
Nevada! While q republican club
OF young men voters, has b~eensal-
lowed to Isl it by this same board
of regents except (Mr. Pratt with
out objection.
We ask is not this discrimina-
ton? May it not be interpreted as
discrimination not only against wo-
men suffrage. on the part of the
board Of regents of the University
of Nevada?
The fact that the College League
organized an essay contest Or
in the public schools is
entirely beside the mark. The
had the same right to or
ganize an essay contest for or
against suffrage, or in any other
subject, and to offer
prizes that you or or any other
individual or organization has.
Such contests on any subject
within the place of morality" are
carried on in the puoli: schools
every day, in the state of Nevada
or out of it.
State Superintendent of Public
j. E. Bray in a strong
published in the Carson APP
peal entirely upholds the girls in
their contest.
Mr.. Bray writes: with all due
rcspect to those who have raised
the hue and cry of politics in the
schools / wish to assure them that
the alarm is uncalled for; that the
university girls had q perfect right
to offer prizes for essays-aad so
has anybody else.
That the state has not authoriz-
ed, and under the constitution can
not authorize, any man or any body
Of men to deDyto children in the
public schools the right to study,
discuss or write upon any legiti-
mate subject within the pale Of
morality; and that to exercise the
right Of discussion or writing is
not introducing politics into the
schools"

1t is evident that the statesmen who

was taxable under the law estimated
too high The Treasury Department
estimated this amount at $4,000, 900,

TOMATOES SHOULD 3D. WELL
CULTIVATED.
Start Working the Rows AS Soon As
Possible TO Preserve Moisture
In the Soil.
y. MONROE.
Maryland Agricultural College

As soon as possible after setting OIL
your tomato plants. start the cultiva
tor. 1t is a good plan to cultivate
fairly deep, and throw q little soil 10
the young plants. This cultivation
loosens the soil, where 1t was tramped
incident to setting the plants, forms
a soil mulch to check evaporation, and
IL the plants were set In burrows, il
will fill these up level. 1t Ia generally
considered the most important work
ing, therefore, great care should be
exercised.
Subsequent civilizations should be
frequent and shallow and slightly
farther from the plant with each sue
cessive working. The frequency Of
these civilizations will depend some
what on seasonal conditions. The
grower should work the tomato field
at regular intervals, and after rains, in
order to retain the maximum amount
Of soil moisture for the plants, because
the tomato j. rampant grower, and
requires large quantities Of water.
Stop cultivation when there is dan
ger OF injuring the plants in passing
through the rows. This will ordinarily
be when the first fruit set il about
the size of walnut. The plants will
be sufficiently large to shade the
ground and check evaporation, there.
by removing the chief reason for cul-
tivation Be sure to seed the tomato
field to crimson clover with the last
working. The weather Is ordinarily
quite seasonable at this time, and the
condition of the soil u such a. to gen,
orally assure good stand of clover
Of course. il the tomato field grown
is to be sowed to wheat. the clover will
not grow sufficiently large to warrant
sowing. All tomato growers should
have copy of Maryland Agricultural

MR. STEELE FOR COLLECTOR OF
CUSTOMS.

The news that Mr.. Guy w. Steele
a prominent attorney of this city, will
be recommended by Senator Lee and
Congressman Talbot to the Presi-
dent lOr the appointment to be
either Collector of Customs or Sur
vey0r Of the Port OF Baltimore, il
very acceptable to Mr.. Steele's friends
in th.s county.
Mr- Steele has been engaged in the
successful practice OF law in this city
for many years. He has been active
in Democratic politics and deserves
recognition. Since the Gubernatorial
campaign in 1911 Mr.. Steele has been
prominently identified with the pro
gressive movement in Maryland. In
1912 when the Presidential primary
was held, he had charge of the Wilson
interests in Carroll county and was
chosen one of the two representatives
from the Second Congressional dis
trict, to the National Convention held
in Baltimore in July OF that year.
We believe him thoroughly compe-
tent to fill the Office of Collector of
Customs and the people OF the county
will be pleased to hear of his success
in securing this important appoint
ment

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 26, 1914
WHAT CONGRESS HAS DONE.

The World decidedly thinks that
the Democratic House has justified
the confidence of those OF u who
hailed it with so much hope"
This Congress has revised the
abuses out of an extortionate tariff.
It has imposed an income tax which
lifts part of the burden of taxation
from poverty to wealth. 1t has en-
acted Banking and Currency law
for which the American people have
been striving for nearly 20 years.
Whatever differences Of opinion there
may BE- about the administrative de-
tails of this measure, all financial
authorities agree that under ii this
country cannot have another panic
like those OF 1873, 1893 and 1907.
In addition, this Congress has de-
Stroyed the lobby. In the case OF the
Panama Tolls bill il has not only
wiped out a peculiarly hypocritical
subsidy, but it has reasserted the
good faith of the nation in respect to
treaty obligations. In the matter of
Mexico it has scrupulously avoided all
semblance of jingoism and demagogy
Taking it's work as whole, the Con-
gress that is still in session has
achieved the most important record
OF constructive legislation OF any
Congress in so years
In spite OF mistakes and short
comings, We can recall no previous
Congress that SO fully kept its faith
With the people, no previous Congress
t at was SO little controlled by sor-
did special interests, no previous
Congress so free from scandal
ana manipulation and treachery to
the public welfare, no previous Con-
grezs that 50 fully embodied the
theory and responsibilities of rep
rese4tative government-Th New

peaches as close together as they can

Present indications point to O. heavy

Generally, thinning fruit to minimum
distance Of to inches gives satisfac-
tory results.
Bulletin No. 159 Of the Maryland
Agricultural Experiment Station says
OF thinning peaches, IF there Is
heavy set of fruit left after the June
drop, 1t should be thinled 30 that the
fruits left are evenly distributed over
the whole tree, and average from to
inches apart on tine bearing wood
Thinning should be done just before
the pits begin to harden, when the
fruits are about three quarters Of an
inch in diameter. 1t Is the maturing
of the pits which exhausts the vitality
of the tree and the ripening OF pits in
excess of a good crop is a useless
strain on the tree Itself"
Our fruit must all be picked at
sometime, and the culls are more
quickly ana more easily removed at
thinning time than at the harvesting
OF the crop. Tie average cost OF
thinning is about ten cents per tree.

The remedy, 1 believe, is not to DO

the Maryland Experiment Station indi-
cate that much improved yield may
be secured by seeding grass to itself

of fertilizers in the spring. These
tests carried on in three fields, one OF
timothy, one of red top, and one of @
