sort to ow-grade politics by the Salisbury machine
and that already has reacted against the Demo-
cratic ticket
Investigation made by the Republican campaign
managers reveals that the Democratic heelers and
hoodlums seemed determined TO break up, if possible,
the Republican primary in that ward. The election Of,
fcers stood It long possible. Finally they called
upon the Police Department for protection.
I'VE have ascertained that Captain Kane was acting
Chief OF Police that day prominent Republican
leader said yesterday "Hd gave the policeman post
the polling place orders to do nothing further unless
the Republican inspector called upon him
particular and then, in event of such specific
charge, TO arrest the accused and lock him up
There several fights the polling place and the
policeman on duty made attempt to disperse the
fighters or the crowd about the polling place.
AS a result of such tactics the news was flashed
about the that the disorder due rival Re
publican factions in the ward It had bad effect in
certain quarters That was exactly what the Demo
cratic managers were counting on. and that is why
the real facts in the stated this time fol-
lowing careful investigation. A Republican who is
a member of Madcloy NJ r. Church told the inyest-
gators that he started TO the polls vote for Cooke
lie the disorder there, thought it of Republic
can origin and decided not to vote He was shocked
by the inactivity Of the Police Department in the
matter.
"If Captain Kane had supplied proper protection
and suppressed The disorder caused by the Democratic
intruders there would have been closing Of the
polls" the Republican leader said %" may add that if
they had not heen closed, there probably would have
been riot and someone would have been hurt
Il will be we'll for Wilmington voters TO bear the
above facts i'm mind ON Saturday and, when they go
to the polls their ballots against consclonless
Democratic machine that resorts 10 such tactics Self
respecting men in the Second ward should be par
tcularly impressed with the situation and vote against
party that only inerferes with the primaries OF
an opposing party but also creates conditions that
bring roproach to the ward.
Nor should the Board Of Police Commissioners over
look the occurrence. Il should ascertain definitely
why the Police Department did not suppress the dis
order and drive tho trouble-makng Democratic thugs

LEE VS.. HARRINGTON.

It AOM ANN 0n0N mn nNHotAH'As
Recently a movement was set on
foot to make Hon. Frank Furst the
Democratic nominee for governor
OF Maryland. For several days
Mr.. Furst considered the matter
and on Tuesday he gave out the state
ment that he would not be a candi-
date. Mr.. Furst feels that with such
great opposition in the State TO Sem
ator Blair Lee that the Senator
should not be nominated, and Mr..
Furst will not vote Cor him. AS be-
tween Senator Lee and Comptroller
Harrington he will vote In the prim-
aries for Harrington. Mayor Preston
has announced that he will support
Senator Lee. The newspapers OF Bal
timore claim that Mr.. Preston unites
with Mr.. Lee for the purpose of down
ing Senator Smith as the State leader
Of the Democracy, claiming that It
Is the Senator'S influence which has
prevented Baltimore city getting lar
ger representation In the General As
sembly. However this may be, Mr..
Furst and many of the most promi-
nent business men OF Baltimore are
back Of Senator Smith as a political
leader. They know that with Smith,
Harrington, Dave Lewis, Fred Tai

many of whom we're with Lee In his
last fight and now against him, that
he cannot get the nomination.

Circumstances Alter Judgments
(From the New York Tribune.J

Italy wanted the potential fruits Of
the Triple Alliance as much as did
Austria or Germany. She reaped
her share of them. The time arrived,
when Austria and Germany were lured
into war by powerful combination,
the outc.ue of which was highly
problematical Italy had only an "en-
tangling alliance" to draw her into It.
She did the wise thing and kept out.
In doing so she consulted not her
promises as they stood in black and
white over the signatures of her pleni-
pOtentiaries. but her ewn present in
terests. These lay with peace rather
than with war. The right of choice
was given her by every rule of in
ternational conduct, historical and
present, and she exercised it for the
good of Italy.
Mr.. Ridder was then stoutiy cham
pioning the theory that nations have
a right to repudiate treaties whose
provisions have become disadvantage
Gus and onerous. When he was writ
ing about Italy he had in mind the
scrap of paper" which Germany had
made Of the treaty guaranteeing the
neutrality of Belgium.
But il Italy was. in his opinion,
free TO disregard the pledges embod.
led i'm the Triple Alliance treaties to
the extent Of refusing TO join Austria
Hungary and Germany, She certainly
had an equal right to disregard them
TO the further extent of joining the
ant-Teutonic combination. If. in spite
of the treaties. Italy had "the right
of choice" the privilege of consulting
her own interests above everything
else, she was entitled to pursue those
interests IN a logical conclusion, even
If that pursuit should bring her into
conflict with her former associates.
What Mr.. Ridder now calls treach-
cry he formerly lauded as wise and
practical craftsmanship. That was his
view. even though he put a too ex-
treme construction on ltaly's obliga-
tiOns to the other Triple Alliance
powers-a construction ghich the
I government at Rome rejected an
which apparently had little basis in
reality.
He may have forgotten his earlier
commentator of Italy's course when
he let loose his recent philippic. But
others have not forgotten IT, The two
judgments should he read together
by those who may be tempted to take
seriously his declamatOry assault on
Italy as pariah among nations.

Our Spruce street jurisconsult, the
Hon. Herman Ridder. is extremely
critical of the motives which inspired
Italy to declare war on Austria-Hun-
gary. He pictures Italy as a sOrdid
purse-snatcher, treacherously trying
to profit from the misfortunes Of a
former ally. Here are some passages
from his feverish indictment:
She Otaly) was actuated solely by
a sordid greed for things which we're
not hers. Her sorry. almost pitiful,
attempts to exculpate herself before
the world have only increased the
stigma which she must bear in years
TO come She has waited
until she thinks the enemy beaten
that her spoils may be the more cas-
lily won. With cheap bravadc now,
and mean and inexplicable treachery
she attempts TO drive her knife into
the back of her former ally. 4.
We're her spoils to be all Europe they
would still not requite her for what
she has lost She will live through
all time a pitiful. abioct and creep
ing thing among nations. Ostra-
cism will be the bread which the
tears of her sons and daughters shall
wet, and contempt the pillow upon
which their sleepless heads shall toss
and mourn.
This outburst of moral indignation
would be much more impressive If Il
did not happen 10 clash all along the
line with the judgments ON ltalys
conduct which Mr.. Ridder was ex-
pressing last October. when the gov
ernment at Rome seemed bent on fol-
lowing a policy of strict neutrality

loitung' defended ltalys refusal 10

Mr. Ridder furnished.

POLITICAL.

From the North East Star.
The way the political lines have
been forming and reforming during
the past week, it looks like the Dem
ocrats have forgotten all about the
fight for personal leadership of tour
years ago, and its general election
effect On the party The rank and
file Of the party-the voters who
are not passing restless nights about
some coveted Office or other patron
age. are giving little concern as to
the relative merits of those who are
seeking the party leadership. When
factions fight the other fellow is very
apt to get away with the goods.
In Republican circles there Is a
quiet get-together movement which
is in striking contrast with the bel

DEMOCRATIC FoMENrERs OF TROUBLE.

7 n connection with the trouble at the polls al the
recent Republican primary in the Second ward,
three things should be clearly understood. They
First-That the disorder caused by Democratic
heelers and howlors who crowded about the polling
place and blocked the voting in primary with which
they egmately had nothing to do.
second-That the polling place was closed by the
election officers because the Police Department tenn
porariy in command of Captain Kane, refused TO drive
the Democratic heelers and howlers away and to pro-
electoral functions.

AS IT LOOKS no us.

From the Elkt0n Whig.
The political developments of the
week in Democratic circles have been
funny-to the onlooker The ellmina-
ton of Congressman Linthicum from
the gubernatorlal race, and the lining
up of the Baltimore city organization
behind Senator Blair Lees candidacy,
rut the Honorable John Walter Smith
In a good deal of a hole. While he
had declared his undying allegiance
10 the candidacy OF Comptroller Em-
erson c. Harrington, he. did not fail
to see that the new arrangement was
likely TO get his goat" Hence the
frantic appeal OF the Smith cohorts to
one Frank A. Furst of Baltimore
city. Mr.. Furst was advertised as a
candidate who would harmonize the
warning factiOns-a statement Of the
case which befuddled nobody. Not
even Mr.. Furst himself. II was, Of
course. simply n desperate attempt Of
Smiths old guard TO save themselves
by dumping Harrington for a man
they thought might run better. Mr.
Furst was too wise 10 be caught In
such an open snare and the Smith
crowd have got to fight II out with
Harrington as their candidate. And
II looks as II the fight would be their
Waterloo. John Walter Smith has
dictated the political affairs OF the
Democratic party in this State for a
good many years. In fact. his reign
has been longer than Is usually allot-
ted 90 tyrants; and with that thought
he must now console himself For his
reign is over Nobody knows Il better
than John Walter Smith himself.

four to six inches deep. They are
left in the pit until the sap rises,
when the bark is easily removed.
This is known as sap peeling. An
other method, known as steam peel
ing, consists in steaming or boiling
the rods until the bark loosens, when
1t may be removed by hand. The ap-
paratus for peeling consists of a
round steel rod from one-half to FIVE
eighths of an inch in diameter and
about four feet long, which is
doubled over so that the two ends
are brought together, making a
double rod two feet long. The lower
Tor welded end of the parallel rods
must be inserted vertically in a log
placed at a convenient height. The
operator places the thick end of the
rod between the prongs and draws 1t
toward him, and the bark is separat-
ed from the wood. The small end
is then treated in similar way,
which completes the operation. The
next operation is grading the rods in
to proper height and quality classes,
after which they are bundled up and
prepared for market. The market
price for green unpeeled rods, cut
and delivered at the railroad, ranges
from $40 to $40 per ton. From four
to eight, or sometimes ten tons, may
be grown on an acre. The crop from
an average acre should bring $3.50,
of which one-half should be net pro-
fit.
In Pennsylvania and Maryland the
willow growers prefer to cultivate the
American green willow, which pro-
duces longer and stouter rods. The
methods of culture and of handling
the product after harvesting are prac-
tically the same as in New York, and
it will be unnecessary to enter into
details. but SIMPLIFY not one or two
points in what may be called the
Pennsylvania-Ge system. Here
cuttings are planted in rows of from
Is to "a inches apart and from eight
to ten inches apart in the rows. This
method of spacing renders the stand
very dense. In this region willows
are considered wet-soil demanding
plants, and nearly all plantations oc-
cur along streams. In New York the
best land on the farm is appropriated
for growing willows, because this
crop in rich soil and under intensive
management yields a return equal
to or greater than most other farm
crops. While these plantations pro-
duce rods of the highest quality, it
must be admitted that many planta-
lions in Pennsylvania and Maryland
produce quality of rods that cannot
be surpassed in any part of the
country or even abroad, where willow
culture has been practiced for over
500 years.-Scientific American.
