DEADLOCK LIKELY IN PATRON.
AGE HUNT

The Maryland patronage stu
alton has become acute within
the last week. The failure of
the two Senators to reach any
agreement or to prepare a slate
may result in a deadlock involv-
ing all the officials now named
and not confirmed, or those to
be named hereafter.
So far Senator Smith and Lee
have agreed upon nothing. Each
is making an independent fight
for the places to be filled and a
test of individual strength is, of
course, the inevitable result.
The Maryland situation is diff
ferent too from any other that
has been presented to the Presi-
dent. Take Tennessee and Miss
issippi for instance. Prolonged
deadlocks ensued when the Sen
ators from each of those States
refused to reach any compromise
in the matter of offices. AS a
result the Republican oficehold-
ers continued to draw the salar-
les for almost a year. after the
inauguration
The Tennessee and Mississippi
deadlocks were finally broken.
President Wilson sent for the
Senators from these States and
informed them that unless they
divided the offices between them
selves and laid lists before him
to which both Senators agreed,
no appointments would be made.
In 80 days from the issuance of
that warning the Mississippi and
Tennessee Senators were in
agreement.
There is a wide difference be-
tween Maryland and the two
States just referred to. There
is no deadlock. The offices are
being filled and being filled Of
Lee men. No Smith men are
being recognized. The patron
age up to this time is being given
to one Senator only.
The reason for this situation,
according to the best informa-
ton here, is that Senator Smith
has not been aggressive enough.
He has not done as Shields, of
Tennessee, and Vardaman, Of
Mississippi, did. They simply
served notice that no Offices
should be filled in their States
unless they were consulted, and
none were.
There are indications, however,
that Senator Smith will yet be
heard from. He is not indiffer-
ent to the fact that only Lee men
are being appointed. He does
not enjoy being ignored. He
thinks that as long as he is a
Democratic Senator from his
State a Democratic President
should consult with him in
patronage matters as we'll as
with his colleague.
It is a well-known fact, too,
that Senator Smiths following
in the Senate is very large. It
is even believed that if he took
a decided stand against the con-
firmation of any Maryland ap-
pointee and made personal
issue of it, majority of the
Senators would stand by him.
This fact is interesting in con-
nection with the general stu
alton raised by the appointment
of Miles and Digges, the Lee in
dorsement of Bowie and Lees
hold-up of the income tax re-
concentrations made by Smith.

Are you planning your garden? II
not, get right to work. Have better
garden this year than you did last sea
son. Plan the rows as straight and
long as possible so as to admit OF
horse cultivation. See that there Is
nothing in the garden but vegetables.
Don't have it half orchard and half
garden. Even goosberry or currant
bushes should be planted in long row
on one side Of the garden so as not to
interfere with the vegetable rows.
Arrange your garden so that sue
cession of vegetables may be had the
year round. Get all the early crops
like peas, onions, beets, and parsntps
that need to be planted in March or
early April into one section Of the gar
den, 80 that as they are removed the
same piece of ground may be used for
such crops as late turnips, spinach
and kale later on.
Any planting that is of a permanent
character, such as rhubarb or aspara-
gus should be in rows on one side OF
the garden and running its full length.
Do not set such plants In beds or
patches that will interfere with the
blowing and fitting of the balance OF
the plot.

OBITUARY.
WILLIAM b. MITCHELL.

William B. Mitchell, one OF ElIsworth,s
oldest aud most highly esteemed citizens,
died Monday at his home on High street.
after weeks illness.
mr. Mitchell, nearing eighty-four years
OF age, was one OF Ellsworth's youngest
OLD men-young in spirit and physically.
A man OF unusually fine physique in his
youth, he retained much of it to the end.
his erect figure and firm step giving the lie
10 his years. While his death is regretted
by his many ftSends, they cannot but feel
1t hitting that such man should be spared
the growing feebleness of old age.
Socially inclined, Mr.. Mitchell was a
familiar figure at masonic affairs, where
he joined in the dance with zest that
was contagious. Less than two weeks be-
fore his death, he danced at one OF these
sociables. A week before his death he
worked on his farm on the Lamoine road,
burning brush. The exertion, with the
wetting Of his feet which he failed to
mention when he returned home, resulted
in ascold, an attack OF indigestion followed
the next day, and after few days of
growing weakness but without suffering,
he dropped away SO quietly that the
moment OF his going could scarcely be
noted.
MIR. Mitchell was born at Dedham June
10, 1880, and came to Ellsworth as a young
man to work in the mills. He was an
expert filer, and followed this trade until
very recent years, during the later years
dividing his time between the mills and
his farm. After the burning OF his home
on the farm few years ago he moved to
the home on High street.
He married in Ellsworth on October II
1851, Miss Harriet Eliza beth Crosby, who
| survives him, after life journey together
OF over sixty-two years. He leaves also
six children-Mrs. Charles (. Whitmore,
Mrs. Austin II. Joy, Mrs. George w. Hig-
gins, Arthur b. and Edgar A. Mitchell, all
OF Ellsworth, and William c., OF Canada
He leaves nine grandchildren and one
great grandson.
Mr.. Mitchell was one OF the Oldest mem
bers of Lygonia lodge, f. and A. NJ, and a
member OF the Eastern Star. In his daily
life he lived closely TO the teachings oil
the order of which he was so devoted a
member, and in his death the city loses
a good citizen.
The funeral was held at the home on
High street this afternoon at o'clock
Rev. K. B. Mathews officiating. There
was large attendance OF friends and
Masons.

divided her time.
