Give US More Life.

The social life of a town has much to
do with its attractiveness as place of
abode. If there is always something
doing" plenty of variety, outdoor sports
and indoor gatherings, home becomes a
real home and there is little incentive
for young men to stay into foreign
fields. The old home town is attractive
to them and they become solid citizens,
and as time progresses they do their ut
most to improve local conditions. The
population increases and prosperity
moves steadily onward.
But when the town is dull, life is the
same humdrum day by day, and social
gatherings are few and slow. the bub-
cling spirit of youth demands wider
fields and seeks its outlet in the larger
cities.
And as they drift away one by one
the town suffers in the vanishing of
many of its young men of intellect and
promise, the population is retarded,
people lose their enthusiasm, and a veil
of Indifference decends over the com
munity.
Life still remains, but the town in
time becomes known as dead one"
Give US more life among the young
people, and when they become old they
will still be "our people"

GOVERNOR is NOT A CANDIDATE.

In a statement issued last Thursday
at Annapolis, Governor Goldsborough
thus eliminated himself as a candidate
for Republican nomination:
-Four years ago l was unanimously
nominated for the office of governor of
Maryland by the Republican party and
subsequently elected.
MANY citizens have suggested that
I again be candidate for that Office A
most painstaking survey of party condi-
tons in the state clearly shows that
there is no possible chance of securing
such nomination by even a close APP
proach to practical unanimity, and,
therefore, l have determined not to con
test for this honor in bitter primary
81 am most mindful and deeply ap-
preciative of the public honors which
have been bestowed upon me and trust
that my friends and public generally
will believe me every public duty which
l have been called upon to perform has
been met with fidelity and with such
measure of ability as | was capable of
giving.
"Whatever political ambition l may
have had has been satisfied through the
loyal support of my party, my apprecla-
ton of which is beyond expression, and
knowing that its unity and power will
be impaired by a heated primary con-
test l, therefore am unwilling to take
any step which may tend to injure its
chances in the coming election.

THE announcement, this week, from
Governor Goldsborough, that he will
not enter contest for the Republican
Gubernatorial nomination, seems to
make it practically assured that o. E.
Weller of the State Road Commission,
will secure the nomination. VIM. T..
Warburton has many supporters for
the place, but the Weller boom has
such support and Roadway that he will
likely win easily. 1t is hoped by State
leaders that Mr.. Warburton may yet
consent to be candidate for Attorney
General. Record, Tanneytown, Md.

Mr.. WELLER'S CANDIDACY.

The Bell Air Times remarks that as
the days go by it is becoming more and
more evident that there is a strong,
Statewide sentiment favorable to the
nomination of o. E. Weller, Chairman
of the State Roads Commission, for
Governor by the Republican party.
This sentiment is in no sense a reflection
upon the administration of Governor
Goldsborough for his administration has
been one of the best in the history of
the State and the Governor himself has
a host of friends and admirers. But
there is sentiment, supported by a
long experience that governor cannot
succeed himself and this has become so
fixed in the minds of the voters that it
must be reckoned with. Mr.. Weller
was selected by Governor Goldsborough
to head the Roads Commission and this
great work has been so intelligently,
efficiently and faithfully performed as
to attract attention to the calibre of
Mr. Weller and to mark him as a man
worthy of the high office of Governor.
He is man exceptionally we'll equipped
to handle big things. He is graduate
of the Naval Academy, then for years
was connected with the banking bust
ness in Boston and New York and is
now prominent in the business and
financial affairs of Baltimore. He is a
resident of Baltimore county. His
friends believe he will make a very
strong candidate and win to his stan
dard very large independent vote.

SHEEP killing dogs are SAID to be the
chief cause of the marked decrease in
the number of sheep kept on farms in
the United States, exclusive of the
Western division. During the period
between 1900 and 1910 the total number
of sheep in this region decreased by
more than 1890, 900 head in spite of
favorable market condition.

A successful Republican candidate
must be able to get, first, all of what
might be called the straight Republi-
can vote; second. all of the Republican
vote which was for Roosevelt, and
third, few thousand Independent votes.
Mr.. Weller can get them. Mr.. War
burton would get only the first. What
more could be said?-News, Towson,
