Far From the Barracks.

A minister one day got into conver-
sation with an Irish soldier who happen
ed to be stationed in Liverpool. and oi
whom he asked several questions as TO
what regiment he was in, and so forth.
Ultimately Pat thought that it was his
turn to ask few questions. Now"
said he, I'D like to know what you are?"
Pm soldier, too." said the minister
"And what regiment are you in and
where is it statoned2' The minister,
pointing towards the sky, said: my
regiment is in heaven" 'Oh, man."
replied Pat, 'shure ye're a long way
from the barracks"

City Now owns It's Watersheds.

After one OF the hottest discussions in
the administration Of the present Board
OF Aldermen, during which Alderman
Phebus declared in the most emphatic
terms. that the city was paying entirely
too much money for the land. the Board
Of Aldermen purchased the Fishing
Creek watersheds for s5.SS per acre
from the William d. Bowers Lumber
Company. The vote was four to one.
Alderman Phebus insisting that his No"
be registered.
I'm opposed to the price that you
propose TO pay for the water sheds. not
to the watersheds themselves" declared
Alderman Phebus. Il want to say to
you that not only am opposed to this
exorbiiant price, but the taxpayers of
the city don't want to pay that price lor
the watersheds" Alderman Phebus de-
clared that some OF the land was not
worth fifty cents per acre. and said that
/ the Board Of Aldermen was being bun
coed Gentlemen. all of the valuable
/ timber has been cut of of that land. and
/ could not possibly vote to pay S.. SIS

Flowers on Icebergs.

Flowers blooming on icebergs would
certainly be rare sight. but travellers in
the northern portions of the Pacific and
sometimes in the North Atlantic have
Witnessed this strange but very beautiful
spectacle. 1t appears that some animals
carry on their feet a growth of moss,
which is deposited on the ice while it is
attached to the mainland in polar regions
In time this decays and forms a shallow
soil. in which the seeds Of buttercups and
dandeions often find a lodging, borne by
currents of wind that doubtless caught
them up in some southern cline. These
tdke root and bloom when the great
CLEANING iceberg floats out to sea and is
carried southwark. where the soft WINDS
nh 1t the surface and give the plants the
mRisture they need.

Resolutions Adopted at the Meet
ing of the Democratic State

RESOLVED. That, in view Of the fact
that new registration of voters will re
held throughout the State. including Bal
timore Ciiv. the members Of this conf
mitiee, in their respective counties and
Legislative districts of Baltimore City, are
instructed to proceed al once 10 the prep.
aration Of plans and details TO secure the
registration Of every Democratic qualified
voter in the State and TO prevent the
erroneous and fraudulent registration of
persons not qualified to vote.

October L with Tuesday, October I:3. for
revision only.
RESOLVED, Further, that the attention
Of the Democratic voters of this State is
called to very important and unusual
phase OF the situation. Great as is the
importance of a complete Democratic
registration to insure the election OF
Democratic United States Senator, six
Democratic members of the House Of
Representatives and Democratic Asso-
ciate Judge in the Third District, this is
not the full extent of our responsibility
and duty to the Democratic party this
year in the work of registration. 1t
should be brought home to the Demo
cratic voters that unless their names are
placed upon the books this year they will
not be entitled to vote in the primary
election next year, when State officers
and county officers are to be nominated,
excepting Dorchester county. where there
will be day for registration just prior 10
aext years primaries In the remainder
OF the State there will be no such oppor-
tunity.

Ir Is evident t1at g~eat lesson was
lelrnsd from the past war with Spain,
the japan Russian war, the Boer war,
anil others within the recollection Of the
present generation, with regard to the
liberty Of the press. This has long
been considered sacred right not to be
restricted in any event, but you will no.
tice that it has been restricted in the
present great struggle and will continue
to be, as far as the warring nations can
control it. BY many it is considered
that yellow journalism was the cause, or
did much 10 bring about the war with
Spain, and some even 20 50 faI as TO
name the offending paper. War corre-
spondents are forbidden to 90 with any
OF the armies or nayies and this rigid
censorship IS felt keenly by the big dai
lies which have heretofore reyeled in
war news, true or untrue. Now they
can get only fragments and there is but
little rush to get the papers or for them
70 get out excitable extras. All this is
Of much benefit and will help the peo-
pie Of this country to keep the neutrality
pact promised by the President in re-
cent proclamation. 1t is easy for us to
get excited and take part in this awful
conflict, but we can better keep our
tempers when We are removed from in-
hammatory articles with scare headings,
two feet high. Mr.. Wilson warns
his countrymen against ''that deepest,
most subtle, most essential breach of
neutrality which may spring out Of par
tisanship, or Of passionately taking
sides. Much of our opinion, our prin-
ciple, and our deep seated conviction is
derived from extensive reading of the
daily press, and we ara glad that at this
critical time there is rigid censorship of
the war news, and that only such as is
deemed desirable for us to hear will be
let through and then only from official
sources OF course, now and then some
paper will print some special item of
news, but it will, no doubt, be temper
ed with conservatism and good taste.
May Providence extend helping hand
to those who must have a say in the
ending of this most deplorablc war, and
may it terminate just as soon as the
proper ends which are desirable, now
that it has begun, are attained Ger.
tainly civilization, for the time being,
has turned backward or the Divine viii
has an object beyond our understanding.
So we can but watch and wait and pray.

FINALLY.

Your President has worked untringly
and with sincerity entirely new to our
political life for what he considered the
best interests of mankind. He has worked
increasingly and without vacation-day in
any day out-for the rank and file of the
public and not for any clique or group.
He has worked for peace-peace at home
as well as peace abroad.
The record made by Woodrow Wilson
is without parallel in the entire history of

Reasonableness of Facts

THE ruling class of Germany, which has
always been quoting Scripture fer its pur-
pose, is justifying its policy Of imperialism
in the name of culture and civilization
Why not? What is culture for anyhow? Is
it something TO be dispensed to the entire
world, or is 1t, above all, license for free and
universal exploitation. Everything that is,
is reasonable" That was the dictum laid
down by Hegel and interpreted by the
better class of Germany to mean that as
long as it had the power to stifle, to tyran-
nize, to subjugate, its acts were reason
BILE" But Germany may yet learn the lesson
that only that is reasonable which has the
factor of necessity and usefulness behind 1t.
The people of Germany and of the world at
large are rapidly losing patience and SYM
pathy for arrogance in the name of culture
and patriotism. And just as soon as enough
of them learn the lesson some things which
seemed perfectly reasonable" will become
exceedingly unreasonable"

Penrose on Peuroseism

THE Penrose reply to Roosevelts denun-
i citation is as delicious an example OF
humbuggery as has appeared in American
political literature in years
Mr. Roosevelt" declares the senior Sen
ator and directing head OF the Organization
has been delivered bodily into the control
Of one of the most discredlted and notorious
municipal bosses who has ever appeared In
American politics He seems to have sur
rendered entirely to William Finn, whose
affiliations with crooked political methods
and scandaious municipal contracts consti-
tute one of the most repugnant chapters in
the annals of corrupt politics"
Mr.. Penrose, it appears, is quite convinced
in his own mind that men who have had
anything to do with corrupt politics ana
crooked political methods should be anath-
ema. But how apt his excoriation would
be II for "Mr Roosevelt" the words Re
publican party" were substituted and "Boies
Penrose" took the place of william Finn"

VIEWS OF READERS

Contributions That Reflect Public Opin.
ion on Subjects Important to City,
State and Nation.

To the Editor Of the Eveuin0 Ledger:
Sr--I have read with interest in the Issue OF
the EVENING LEDGER on September Is the edi-
torial, Calm OF Germany"
The following sentences seemed to me par-
ticularly interesting:
'It is only now that sober second thought is
beginning to draw from our minds the animus
that was natural to the first news Of war. We
are beginning TO contrast the differing spirits in
which the combatants have undertaken the
struggle. We learning more and more OF
the petty hysteria that flooded England and
France with confusion worse confounded. we
discovering from returned tourists that 1t
did not extend to Germany. 1t does much to
bring back sanity when learn that Berlin
proceeds on almost its normal course, with
theatres open, trans running, ready money for
all and no moratorium. We must at least re-
spect such signs OF civilization in the face OF
worldwide vituperation and hysteria."
Permit me to remind you of an editorial pub
lished some days ago, entitled True to Their
Convention"
Through the hideous red war mist two facts
stand out plainly one fact is that Great Brit
ain, with sincerity that must be conceded, car
red out her written promise, her treaty
would be fearful price to pay; she didn't fall
ter; that future agreements will mean
what they say, and shall not be scraps OF
paper to be torn and tossed to the winds at
the cynical caprice of any ruler"
Can it be that this sober second thought OF
the EVENING LEDGER owes its conception to
German influence?

THE IDEALIST

Thousands of young men and young
women are forced TO give up school or college
before the completion Of their courses II is
safe 10 say that only a small percentage OF
these plan out a course OF self education
and adhere TO IT,.
A fallacy exists In the minds Of many
whose educational work is cut short 10 the
effect that one cannot possibly obtain any
where else the knowledge which school or
college course offers.
A Young man or young woman intent upon
continuing his or her education work has the
nrohIsm nine -tenths solved when he she
rsfuses to believe in this fallacy. II is only
necessary TO look around IN order 20 learn
tLat the opportunities for self-eduCation are
well-nigh unlimited; that the opportunities
are almost free Of cost.
There are free lecture course In all sorts
Of institutions and upon all sorts OF topics;
there are libraries with thousands upon thou
sands OF valuable books. At small cost there
are trsvelogues musical entertainments, in
dustriaI exhibitions and what not.
No Young person can claim, II he Is worth
his salt that the material is not easy Of ac-
cess. He or she can only Justly ertieiss
