THE PLAYGROUND MOVEMENT

1t must be gratifying to those per
sons who are active in the establish
ment Of Fairgrounds to realize that
their efforts are meeting with the
hearty approval of most Of the bust
ness and professional men and the
thinking people Of the country gener-
ally. In Westminster this movement
was started by the Civic League which
has already benefited the town III 20
many ways.
In other places where Fairgrounds
have been in operation for several
years their good effect On the general
health and morals of children has
been 50 marked, that it has in many
instances led to the utmost possible
extension OF the system.
Some OF our people have said Ia
connection with this movement that
there are plenty of places for child
rem to play in Westminster Where
are the places? There is no vacant
property within the city limits where
children are allowed to play Then
again, others have said that 1t II a
poor sort of child that needs to be

there is right way to play and a
wrong way, Just as there is a right

DEMOCRATIC SENATORIAL TIM
RER.

The Democratic party in this State
has not long time in which to
decide whether it shall or shall not
seek To continue John Walter Smith
In service as one of its United States
Senators. The time IL still shorter
i'm which any Democrat DESTROYS of
succeeding him must make up his
mind whether or not to try for the
nomination.
a great share Of the State Democ-
racy IL looking as anxiousIy for a
candidate ID any candidate Is looking
for Statewide support. All elements
combined, good majority would
probably prefer to see Senator Smith
relegated to obscurity. But the ele-
ments are difficult to combine; and,
more than that, it would not pay
them TO unite upon any candidate
put forward merely to beat Smith.
without regard to real qualifications.
The problem il not tito find man
to beat Smith," but to find a man
who can unite the various anti-Smith
factions throughout the State and
who, were he elected, would make an
ADLER United States Senator.
I'm the circumstances, the fact that
gossip il now connecting the name
of Thomas G.. Hayes with the race
ought to be of special interest to the
party rank and file.
Mr.. Hayes political, campaigning
and public service capabilities are
too wen known To require exposition.
The man who would GUST John Wal
ter Smith from the saddle must be
a fighting man. Mr.. Hayes il that
The man who would unite the vari-
GUS anti-Smith Independent and or
ganizstion factions must be man
yGrsed In practical politics yet MIN
self an independent Mr. Hayes is
that The man who would succeed
Smith must have knowledge oil
public affairs which would offset ac-
tual Senatorial experience. Mr.. Hayes

fight; II elected, he would make a
better Senator.
III Democratic nomination is to
be equivalent to election, the de-
yelOpment OF strong and fit can
didate il a matter of moment to
the entire body polite. Certainly
Maryland ought to have a higher
type representation in the United
States Senate than she now has. Yet,
while 1t is easy enough To name men
who could better represent her, it
has not vet been found possible to
name any better man who has even
passing chance of landing the nomi-
nation.
Mr.. Hayes probably comes nearer
to meeting that combination Of
requisites than does anyone who
has yet been mentioned. 1t would
well pay him and the anti-Smith ele-
ments to examine carefully into the
question of his practical availability.

Our mother, how the tear drops swell,
AS over the past our visions dwell;
When we have stood beside thy chair
And smoothed and kissed thy silver hair.
Whose slken threads are dearer now,
Than hopes bright dream or friendships VOW
For life can hold no joys for me,
More cherished than our thoughts of thee
We would not call thee back dear mother,
Thy spirit pure has flown.

To rest upon Gods throne.

FOUND MAN DEAD.
Sheriff Called to Scene of Dispute
Finds Negro Shot in Lungs.

Sunday morning homicide Of an
unusual character occurred near
Ridgeland. It seems from the infor-
nation gathered that early Sunday
morning an unknown negro called, at
the home Of negro near the town
limits, stating that he was sick and
wanted some medicine; that the ne
gro man who lived in the house stat
ed that he was a root" doctor and
would guarantee cure for So.
The unknown negro paid the
amount asked, it was said, but in a
short while, when the medicine rail-
ed to relieve the pain, he returned
to the house and demanded his money
back. The negro doctor" refused
to refund, it seems, until at the point
of a pistol he was compelled to give
up the money.
Immediately after the unknown ne
gro left the house the negro doctor
started for Ridgeland to get Sheriff
Porter, although, it is said, telling
some parties before he left what had
happened and asking them to watch
the negro and not let him get away.
When Sheriff Porter reached the
place where the negro was last seen
he found the dead body of the un-
known negro, who had been shot in
the back with buckshot, one shot
having passed through his lungs.

INVEyTS EXPLOSIVE.
American Said to Have Projectile
More Deadly Than Before.

A new projectile which would scat
ter q whitehot mixture Of molten
steel over the object Of attack, and
fill the atmosphere with deadly gas,
making it impossible for fre-fghters
to approach, has been invented by
John Hays Hammond Jr., according
to a statement made by the inventor
at Gloucester, Mass, Monday night
The missile may appear soon in the
European war, as some of the bellig-
erents are negotiating for its pur-
chase. he said. The United States IS
conducting experiments with the pro-
iectile at Sandy Hook, he added.
The missile is designed for use IN
siege guns. Mr.. Hammond explain
ed that it carries an alulninothermlc
mixture which, five secaIls afsar the
uroiectiIe IS discharged, turns the
steel inside to white-hot mixture at
temperature Of 5,40o degrees Fab
renheit. s.,
When the projectile hits. the in
ventor said, it explodes, its white-hot
contents firing whatever infammable
material 10 strikes. To avoid the
possibility of quenchi1g the flames,
MIR. Hammond said he had equipped
the projecti1e with a chamber filed
with hydrocyapic acid, the fur1es OF
which are deadly.
