ROBERT LANSING WILL BE THE
"NExT PRESIDENT"


The next President of the United
States will be Robert Lansing, of
New York, present Secretary Of
State.
This is not in the nature of wild
political prediction, noi is it the inau-
guraiio o. boom for Democratic
'dark horse" 1t is merely the state
ment of a fact which, barring tn
desth or resignation of Secretary
Lansing, is as certain as anything
can he.
Mr.. Lansine's term of office does
not depend upon the action of any
political convention; it is like wise
irrespective of any primary or direct
election. In point Of fact it dates
back to 1886, when Congress passed
an act providing that in event of the
death, removal, resignation or inabili-
ty of both the p esiden. and the Vice
President of the United States the
Secretary of State $ all act as Presi-
dent.

summer CouI SEES For Teachers At
Johns Hopkins University.

The Summer Cours for teachers
which have been given for the past five
years by the Johns Hopkins Univer. ity
will be continued this summer. The
session opens on Wednesday, July 9Th,
and closes Tuesday, August 18th.
This work was begun at the urgent
request of the school superintendents
of our State, and has en- developed
under their cooperation ia order to
provide at home ample opportunities
for special study by Maryland school
officers and teachers.
The State is especially fortunate at
the present time in having the Univer-
sity engaged in this work. The general
law which goes into effect on June LIST
will require officers and teachers to adj
vance their academic and professional
preparation in order to carry out the
improvements found desirable by the
school survey.
The University work has been so ar
ranged as to permit number of COM
binations of courses which will enable
every officer and teacher 10 our school
system to meet their special needs
A program of seventy-fiye courses has
been arranged, the courses 10 educa-
tion presenting the largest variety.
The Demonstration School which has
been leading feature during recent
years will be continued. 1t will be SO
rianGed as to enable supervisors ana
teachers in rural school to become ac-
qusinted with new methods and DEVICES
for meeting their particular problems.
Teachers who are DESTROYS of working
for the new degree of Bachelor OF
Of Science, which is open to men and
women, will have an opp ortunity to
utilize the Summer Courses toward thu
realization of this purpose.

REJECT TsE PROPOSED NEW
CHARTER.

An elee'ion will be held here, so
we are informed, on Monday next
for the purpose of either ad lptiog or
rejecting a proposed new charter for
the Town of Ia Plata. The pur-
pos4 of the new charter as far as we
can learn is to lncreas the taxes OF
the to yn from 25 to so cents and
provide for the borrowing of fifteen
thousand I$l5.000001 dollars
What oiler snakes are IN the meas
ure We do not know, nor care, but
these alone are sufficient to make any
sensible ax-payer aud his or her
friend or friends, in the town who
has his own interest at heart vote to
reject the same. We have good
charter at present why change to
make our burdens greater The
town is already under heavy debt
and can't stan1 any more. The orr
ginator Of this scheme, took it
to Annapolis aud had it introduced
arui sought to put it through without
any referendum; but the gentlemen
who introduced it placed referen-
dun upon it at the request of some
Of the more substantial citizens OF
the town who were more interested
in the general welfare Of the people
Of the town than the ,chemer at the
bottom Of this prof cot and who had
no personal motives to serve. The
state tax rate is higher this year than
it ever has beer; no one can tell what
the county rate will be owing to the
fact that more money is - be levied
for roads; more to complete the
county jii; money to build new
school HOUSES; and a SUN to make up
the deficiency in the levy of last year
to meet the re quiremerts of the State

things in view are the sensible tax.

theory that since the United States
does not expect Germany to be really
