CONSERVATISM 1918 WATCH
WORD

Conservatism will doubtless be the
watchword in commercial, financial.
railroad and other lines during the
early months of 1915. The country
is and has been for the past five
months passing through a period of
unprecedented unsettledness, and for
that reason capital will be cautious
until such time as 1t can see its way
clear to enter upon extensive under
takings with greater degree of safe
~ than is believed to exist at present
This does not mean that improve
ment in the situation as a whole has
not already taken place, for much has
been accomplished to date in the mat
ter of simplifying the unusual condi-
ton OF affairs which has peryaded the
country for many months. The at
mosphere in the financial world has
been clearing gradually during the
past month, and with the beginning
OF 1915 securities are maintaining a
level OF quotations fairly satisfactory,
considering past developments
Until capital has been freed of it's
timidity there is little likelihood Of the
development of any great activity on
the part OF the rank and file looking
toward the investment OF savings in
securities. The question is asked
when capital will again regain the
confidence which it previously enjoyed
The answer most often heard in
financial circles is: AS soon as the at
titude OF the trainers OF legislation is
such as to afford some degree of guar
antee to the conduct of big business"
The recent decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission has to some
extent eased the minds of prominent
financial interests throughout the
country, but if the railroads are given

there is still room for greater improve
ment. In other words. IL the Inter
state Commerce Commission grants an
increase in rates and the state COM
missions through which the railroads
run endeavor TO restrain the compan-
les from reaping this benefit, IL is OBJ
vious that there is something wrong
with our system of law-making and
regulation.
The present attitude of the Inter
state Commerce Commission toward
the railroads Is such as to lend a great
er degree OF confidence on the part OF
managers as TO the outlook for the
carriers. At the same time security
holders also doubtless entertain more
hopeful feeling in this connection than
at any time in several years. The
European war has had much TO do
with bringing about the unfavorable
conditions now prevailing throughout
the country, but the belief prevails
that developments Of the past year
or so in the United States have been
equally as instrumental in unsettling
the confidence of the public-Finan-

FARMERS PROFITS

This is the month when the state
sends out experts to conduct insti-
tutes for farmers in the various coun-
ties and the results obtained are far
greater than the expense incurred. The
best method OF improving the eff
ficiency of the individual is to come
in contact with other individuals who
have made CONSPICUOUS success in
certain lines OF work. Example is
the best teacher in the world and
when men or women have achiev-
ed something out OF the ordinary ii is
easy for them TO gain converts to
their way of procedure. Farming has
been reduced to an exact science and
the more scientific a farmer is in his
methods the greater will be his sue
cess in his work. Michigan keeps on
hand a force Of men who understand
all the details of the farming business
and they are always at the disposal of
the farmers of the state They have
saved millions of dollars TO the farm
ing industry through their timely adj
vice when some new pest or disease
occurs in some sections. The increas-
ed attendance at these institutes shows
that the interest of the farmers is in
creasing in them and that much real
good is being accomplished. The time
has passed when a farmer thinks that
he can stay at home and work out his
own problems single handed. He is
now a seeker of information and will
go out Of his way in order to secure ii
because he knows that ii means saw
ing of energy and better profits during
the coming season. All this augurs
well for the country and is proof
that the people in the rural districts
are even more advanced in their ways
and thought than the people in the
cities. This year will see an increased
attendance at the county Institutes on
account of the new problems that
have arisen in agricultural lines during
the past few months.

N INTERESTING EXPERIMENT

The eyes OF the nation are frequent
ly turned to Sing Sing Prison, where
Thomas Mott Osborne, the warden. is
conducting one OF the most interesting
psychological experiments in history.
Mr. Osborne first attracted national
attention by voluntarily spending a
time in prison under conditions as like
those OF ordinary convicts as possible.
That he could not. even with the most
vivid Imagination, put himself in the
place of the involuntary prisoner was
obvious. But he did learn physical
conditions, and he could guess at
psychological effects, although not
familiar with the abnormal anteced-
ents OF the convicts. Following q
gross scandal in management, he was
given an opportunity to try out his
novel theories, with large liberty. AL
ready there has been much criticism,
some Of II from sources OF question
able character. But there are honest
critics, who look upon the experiment
as quixotic in the extreme. The easy
way in which he overturns scientific
conclusions that there is distinct
criminal class by asserting that the
convicts are victims OF education and
environment and that all may be re-
formed by proper appeals to their bet
ter nature has brought misgivings to
even the most ardent friends OF prison
reform.
The rest of the country hopes that
New York sentiment may uphold the
new warden long enough for his
methods to be given a fair trial. Many
states which would be reluctant TO try
such radical experiments in their own
penal institutions would be pleased to
have New York turn it's worst prison,
noted for the turbulence Of it's inmates.
which has manifested itself in muffin
les, fires and other serious outbreaks,
into a pathological clinic for education
OF the nation There has been no
greater manifestation Of humanitar-
ianism in the last century than in adj
ministration OF prisons. Not in all
civilization can there be found prisons
which are as vile as the best were in
the days Of John Howard. The word
punishment has lost its primitive
meaning. The lex talionis Is obsolete.
Even the protection Of society is sub
ordinate to the rehabilitation Of the
convict. The parole system has been
extended with gratifyisg success.

argued, men may try 10 break into

theories that do such eminent credit

Harrington. who have announced their
candldacy, ana While EX-State Sena-
tor Beasman of Carroll, has not de-
clared his positive intention to become
candidate it can hardly be doubted
that he is in the race. Inere are pro-
badly other Democrats who would like
to and may be candidates, men whose
names have been suggested, but who
are saying nothing.
A very similar condition confronts
the Republicans. The names of quite
a NUMBER of the leading members of
the party in the State have been men,
toned in connection with the nomina-
ton. Some of these gentlemen are
known to be willing to assume the re-
sponsibility, while others are either
reticent, or decline to be considered.
The Union News, published at Tow
son, the party organ in Baltimore
county, mentions three who are regis
tered voters in that locality-Col. E.
C. Darlington, Sr., E. o. Weller, chair
man of the State Roads Commission,
and John E. Ensor. Mr.. Ensor is not
named as positive aspirant, but is
strongly endorsed by the Union News,
which points to his having carried the
county for the circuit judgeship,
against the Democratic candidate and
over odds of 5000, showing his high
standing and extreme popularity with
the people among whom he is best
known. Then Mr.. VIM. T. Warburton,
of Elkton, for whom boom was start
ster, February IL, is an avowed candi-
Ip+n fhn Of fat
Williams of the same place has been
mentioned in connection with the no.
mination. The Union News also states
that the denomination of Governor
Godsborough has been suggested The
governor, however, has not given the
slightest ground to suppose that he
desires, or would be willing to become
candidate in the primary. Up in
Western Maryland there is a quiet,
but decided sentiment in favor of Dr.
j. Mcpherson Scott, of Hagerstown,
but it is said he positively declines to
consider the matter though he would
be very strong candidate before the
people. Some charges in conditions
may be looked for during the next
three months, but it is probable that
by the expiration of that time per-
maneht llne-up OF the contendlng as
pirants and those who are being urged
to become candidates, will have taken
place.
For the present there is no Repub-
!ican so well in the lead as to be point
ed out as a probable winner, and none
for whom the Sentinel is prepared to
take stand against the others. With
so many we'll qualified and faithful
members of the party to choose from,
the Republican voters can not go far
astray in selecting standard bearer
worthy their undivided support. The
Sentinel may hereafter conceive
preference for some one of the gen.
tlemen named, but if so it will be
because it will consider him the best
man for the nomination, and the best
equipped for the discharge of the GU
hernatorial office if elected-West-

sum is in sight which is almost suffi-
cient to provide for road maintenance
without additional taxes. The esti-
mate of maintenance is about $3.50 per
mile throughout the state.
The receipts from automobile Ii
censes and fines for the year ending
March 81, as reported by Commission
er Roe, exceed all previous records for
revenue from automobile licenses, and,
in addition, the receipts show gain
of 80 per cent. over those of last year.
This heavy increase, in view of gen
eral bad business conditions. is re-
garded by the state officials as most
remarkable.
Included in the net revenues of the
past year are about $4,000 in fines. In
1913 the amount included about $4,000
in fines. In making up the net reve-
nues Commissioner Roe first deducted
the cost Of all clerical work, the cost
of tags, road signs and posts, cards
and all Office supplies.
