THERE'LL BE A HOT TIME
IN POLITICS THIS WEEK.
The HaringtOn-Lee Fight Close in
Anne Arundel.

With less than week of the primary
campaign before the deciding test Will
come at the polls. the political wise
acres are widely at variance IN their
prognostications of the result.
There are plenty of people who are
confident that Lee will
be the nominee OF the Democratic party
and the next Governor of Maryland
There are plenty who pin their faith on
Harrington. A great many are decid-
edly OF the opinion that the Republi-
cans will nominate and elect Weller.
And then there are others who rah'
rahl for warburton and will not be dis
couraged. All this difference of opin-
ion. because it is apparently sincere
means nothing if not this week is go
ing TO be the hottest windup of pOlit-
ical primary campaign that good old
Maryland has ever experienced. The
big artillery of the four candidates is
Just beginning 10 roar, and the battle has
taken onthe proportion of well-devei-
oped general election in close year.
Summed up. Anne Arundels Dem
ocratic situation seems about this way:
Lee has a lighting chance to defeat Har

is likely TO have to hustle to stay with
the ticket. The minor office-seekers
are involved in a scramble where men
are likely 10 win on their individuality
on both sides.
Those who have been throwing straws
into the wind in the last few weeks say
Harrington will not get as big vote as
German did four years ago. They say,
further that Lee Will get a much big
ger vote than was given him before.
While no one is yet found to predict
that Lee is going to carry Anne Arun.
del. plenty can be found who assert
that the county should not now be alb
solutely cedeited to the Harrington col
umn. These-and they include un-
biased well-informed men-say the
county is certainly doubtful, with the
Lee organization of so-called" Progress
sives" waging such fight as to have

ell-Potee organization Baltimore sun

SHIPS RETURN TOMORROW
AFTERNOON AT 4 O'CLOCK.
Special Radio Received at Naval
Academy to This Eifect---Arrival
Of Middies Practice Squadron.

A radio message received by the
authorities at the Naval Academy gives
the information that the summer prac-
tice cruise of midshipmen is about
over and the ships are due to arrive
at the Naval Academy at 4 o'clock
tomorrow "wednesday afternoon,
and not today. as incorrectly stated in
last evenings Capital.
The squadron consists of Adm iral
Eullam's flagship, the Missouri and
the Wisconsin and Ohio, with some
SO midshipmen aboard. The return
Of the ships this year is some ten
days later than usual, owing to the
lateness Of the departure of the mid
dies on the summer cruise. The mid
shipmen will be given leave until the
last of the month. Those, however, whose
homes are at a great distance, will
probably not be able to go home but
will spend their leave with friends
within easy reach of the Naval Acad-
emy. The torpedo boat Bailey will
go out to meet the ships.

PRACTICAL IDEAS.

A prominent American characteriz-
ed himself the other day by saying Il
am a Democrat and a dreamer" He
was the head of a large and influential
institution closely related to contem-
porary affairs, an institution in which
he had accomplished a work Of far
reaching value to a great city. His
whole career had been surrounded and
well-nigh submerged by a pyramid of
details, far removed from the land of
dreams. A casual observer would have
called his service highly useful but
hardly belonging to the atmosphere OF
the ideal. We have reason to believe,
however, that this man is an idealist-
utilita1ian idealist.
In a land where the word utility is as
ubiquiquitous as the word democracy.
and in an atmosphere wntre a dreamer
is commonly supposed to be a vision
ary, the union of the two in one individ-
ual might seem at first to be a perplex-
ing anachronism. This idealism of the
contemporary american is, neverthe-
less, a very real thing. 1t has been
designated with Prof. John r. Crom-
mons in the phrase "Utilitarianism is
the democracy of idealism." This ideal
ism in the midst of the practical, and
the bringing of dreams into the light OF
common day, marks d1stictively the
present-day American The United
States, by location and by tradition.
has been especially conducive to the
drawing out of a useful idealism and
10 making the mystic and scholar ser
vicearle in the community
The tendency TO unite ideals with
practice, and the bridging of the gulf
between dreams and action, are seen
in a hundred ways, and these. we be-
lieve, are far more general than is US
ually appreciated The natural scien-
tist for a time seemed to be getting the
best of the humanist and the scholar in
the United States, but there are evi-
dences at present of the Union between
the school and the State, between the
CRY and practice. Education is being
'secularized. The specialist with his
theories of economies and policies and
sociology, is becoming a force in mod
ern government, business and philan-
thropy Indeed, tho shuttle runs back
and forth with remarkable swiftness
and ease between the seen and the ideal
worlds. Ideals IN the form Of lofty
reaches of democracy, such as the pur-
idcation of politics, are becoming reg
nant, without the reformers ard the re-
formed recognizing them as IDEALS.
Ideals of regulation in business and
trade in these latter days have come in
many cases very near actualizafion
When the laws for correction and ra-
form of abuses in trade and organized
occupations do not come fast enough
commissions are formed to investigate
and from the searchlight of these latter
nothing and no one is exempt. These
ptilitarian ideals are in fact some Of
the most comon and prominent factors
at present The people idealize charae-
ter under the head of Standards of
conduct and there is perhaps no ma
ton where more ideals OF conduct are
more universally accepted as necessa-
~, or where their absence is a greater
hindrance than in the United States II

Planning the Garden.

With the approach Of spring
those persons who are expecting
to grow a garden can we'll afford
to spend some time in planning
II. says r. B. Cruickshank Of
the college Of agriculture, Ohio
state university Almost every
farm has a garden and it is
profitable to make it go as far as
possible in supplying the needs
of the table by growing variety
of vegetables. T Ii gardener
should draw plan Of his garden,
outlining the seasons planting.
Consideration should be given to
the kinds of.vegetabies. the sea-
son of planting the length of
time required for their maturity
and the amount of each. Yege-
tables which will be planted
about the same time may be
placed in the same or adjacenb
rows. Those which require the
same sort of culture and have
about the same length of grow
ing season should also be placed
together. For the grower who
wishes to produce the greatest
amount en- q given area, COM
panion and succession cropping
may be practiced. BY knowing
the nature of the various vege-
tables the grower can get two or
three crops from the same space,
either at the same time or fol-
lowing each other. In the first
case, two are selected, one of
which will mature and be re-
moved before the other needs
the space; in the second an
early crop is harvested in time
to SOW late one. Garden plan
ming. if done intelligently, will
mean economy of. time, labor
and money in the carry-spring
out of the actual work in the
spring and summer.

Piano Keys.

Pianos Of standard size have
keyboard of seven Uclaves and
three notes. fifty Two White keys.
There is a reason for this limit
AS it is. the keys at either end
of rhe keyboard are rarely nseda
and the tones that can m,w be-
produced, firm the h'west to
the highest, include all that
have any definite musical value
to the truman ear. If the conn
pass Of the keyboard We're ex-
tended the added KEYS would
produce sounds or noises without
any musical significance. 1t is
possible for the human ear to
perceive sounds over range of
about eleven octaves, but the
of musical sounds is
confined to the seven and one
third octaves.

House bill No 500 recently m
PRODUCED in the House and SEN
ate was heartily endorsed BY the
good roads mass meeting which
assembled IN Carthage last Mon
day and resolution weres adopted
urging our representative and
senator to vote for its passage.
This bin was framed BY the
State Highway Association. and
represents the thought of no one
man or political faction, but is
an embodiment of the wisest
legislation, t b broadcast and
sanest experience hitherto gath
cred in the state. In substance.
the bill provides state aid for
counties wishing to better their
roads. Ia other words, the state
is pledged to an equal division of
expenditure with the county.
For instance. should Smith coun-
ty desire to raise $4,000, $50, 600
or $500, 600 for the building and
maintenance oe her roads, the
state is pledged to give an equal
amount. A State Commission
will be created and the construc-
tion of roads where the state as
sists will be under the supervi-
sion of an experienced engineer.
w. E. Myer, President of the
State Highway Association and
who was instrumental in franz
ing the bill, explained its purpose
to the meeting and after many
questions were ask e d an d
answered, those favorably COM
Inenting on its passage were T.

Someone has truthfuIly said:
Every man who helps the
county in which he lives helps
himself just as much as he helps
his neighbor. He may not al
ways realizeit financially, but he
does in other ways. For in
stance, 1T produces a sense of
satisfaction and it broadens his
vision to such an extent that he
experiences the very real joy
that comes from living for others
as well as for himself.

For sheep raising in Middle
Tennessee, Smith is one of the
leading counties and according
to the 1910 census there were
39. 489 sheep in this county.
The sheep industry, which is
very profitable, has suffered a
great deal from worthless dogs
killing them, and on demand of
the farmers throughout the
state the legislature in 1907
rassed an act requiring the reg
istration of female dogs with
the circuit court clerks of the
state and the payment of a fee
of $500, after deducting cost of
collar, etc., to be turned over to
the trustee and converted into
the common school fund. The
act also makes it unlawful for
the owner of a female dog to
permit it to run at large. The
circuit and criminal judges of
the state are required by the act
to give this law in charge to the
grand jury. This law has not
been as rigidIy enforced as it
should be. It's a good law and
the grand juries should be more
thorough in their Investigations
as to violators of this act be-
cause it means much to the far
mers of the state and our COM
mon school fund. Frequently
we hear complaints from sheep
raiser about dogs killing their
sheep. Lewis Riley. a farmer in
the Gordonsville section. is a
recent sufferer from dogs killing
several Of his sheep in one night,
and if the law now on the stat
ute books were enforced and
more stringent laws enacted in
regard to sheep killing dogs.
such losses would be greatly re-
daced.
