onward march of civilization, with
that rare unselfishness which led us
to unsheath the sword for humanity's
sake and put all territorial aggrandize-
ment aside, with that belief in the
square deal, individual, national and
international, which is the foundation
of American faith, we mean to go on,
an exemplar of peace to all the ma
tions, an arbiter of justice to all the
world, a promoter of Righteousness
to all the people Of the earth.
At the same time we have more to
do than to chart a national course
through the waters surging with the
turbulence Of war; our inspiring
course is on the highway of peace.
Our armed defense must ever be
linked with our Industrial self-rel-
ance, and the nation worth dying for
must first be worth living for. Out Of
natures prodigality we have incal-
culable resources and limitless possi-
bilities, and there is need only for
the unhindered application of mans
genius and industry to make us as in
dependent industrially as we are free
politically. Ample defense rests on
Industrial freedom and self-reliance as
we'll as patriotic sacrifice, and indus
trial preparedness gives that assur-
ance of material good fortune in
peace on which must be founded all
our higher aspirations.
The Protective Policy.
Subsistence Is the first requisite of
existence, and we have the higher
American standard of living because
Of the Republican protective policy
which makes Of Americans tie best
paid workmen in all the world. Out
of the abundance Of employment and
higher compensation, together with
the beckoning opportunity which Of
fers every reward, we Americans have
attracted the laborers Of the earth.
and set new standards here.
1t is not for me to put the stamp Of
relative importance on pending is
sues-the intelligent voters will de-
termine that for themselves. But
know what they are thinking, and
they believe that the protective policy
which made US industrially and COM
mercially eminent is necessary to
preserve that eminence. I know they
want 1t restored and maintained. For
myself, prefer protective and pro-
ductive tariff which prospers Amer
lea first. l choose the economic pol
icy which sends the American work
ing men to the savings banks rather
than the souphouses. / commend the
plan under which the healthful glow
OF prospecting business is reflected in
every face from the great captain Of
industry to the schooling child Of the
daily wage-earner.
The Democratic party is always con-
cerned about the American consumer.

JUST THE CHILDREN M0URNED
None Came to Claim the Body Of Old
George, the Cornetist.

About us everywhere in the fiotsam
Of the human tide are drifting mystic
ries we accept without inquiry. There
are such people in Sacramento as "Old
George, the cornetist," who recently
fell dead in New York city.
Day after day he appeared at the
same corner, offered his familiar tunes
to the admiring children and the some
times abjuring adults, and collected
the pennies wherewith to buy food,
clothing and shelter.
No one ever asked him his right
name, but the children loved him.
Then one morning, as Old George
raised his horn to his lips, 1t clat-
tered to the pavement, and the song
he was planning to give the crowd
ratified in his throat as he toppled over
dead.
The children mourned him for sew
eral days. No one came to claim his
body.

THE WEEKS DOINGS At
THE STATE CAPITAL
Status Of Local Legislation for Garrett
County-Two Bills Killed.

STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS, MARCH s.
Evidently the Democratic leaders are
about to attempt to appropriate Re-
publican reform measures to carry out
some of their campaign promises to the
people, and which the Republican leader
in the Senate has forced them to make
good" Early in the session Senator
Zihlman, of Allegany county, introduc-
ed Bill amending the State Election
Laws. cutting out all the loopholes
that have permitted the Democratic
''strategists" to perpetrate trick"
ballots to confuse the voters in certain
counties the remnant of the notorious
Wilson Ballot Law" which the Demo-
cratic party enacted at Gov. John
Walter Smiths extraordinary session
f the Legislature of 1901, Immediately
GLOWING the Republican administration
of the late Gov. Lowndes, and which
became so disgusting to the better ele-
ment of the Democratic party them
selves that public sentiment compelled
them to modify each succeeding Legis-
lature until these practices are con-
tinued in only a few sections of the
State. The demands for a uniform
ballot law became so strong that the
Democratic party, along with other
numerous promises to be good in the
last campaign, pledged themselves in
the State platform to amend the
refarious trick" ballot law and give
the people ballot which voters of
higher intelligence, at least, could mark
properly and with some assurance of
having it counted and not thrown out.
The Republican party has consistently
stood for clean ballot and last year as
Heretofore, represented their platform
promise for such a law. And one of
the very first things Senator Zihlman
did, as the leader of his party in the
Senate, was to introduced his Bill to
amend the unpopular Election Laws and
