Jury OF Inquest Recommends

Cecil Brown, colored, workman at
the Providence Paper Mill, and resi-
dent of Cedar Hill, was struck and
killed by a train on the Providence
Branch of the B. & o. R. R. Wednes-
day morning. Coroner Dean sum-
moned a jury of inquest on Wednes-
day afternoon, which reported as fol-
lows:
The Coroner's jury in the case of
Cecil Brown, colored, who was killed
by cars of freight train on Wednes-
day, while trespassing on the Childs-
Providence branch of the B. G. O. R.
f.. at Carriers Mill. learned that such
trespassing is quite frequent, owing
to lack of footway over the creek near
the mill, and deemed it proper to sug-
gest that footway be provided The
jury also felt impelled to urge that
engine whistles be sounded regularly
at the Carter and other sidings along
the Childs branch line.

Maryland Legislature AT An End

The Maryland Legislature came to a
close on Monday night of this week, or
rather about day-break on Tuesday
morning.
AS is quite customary there was a
grand rush at the close-many things
having been suffered to pile up for the
finish which ought to have been out of
the way in the early days. 1t is
hardly possible to give any very cor
nected and accurate account of legis-
lation enacted since the WHIG'S last
report.
AS to matters of local interest, a
charter for Charlestown with refer
endum to the people was put through;
also the bill introduced by Delegate
Bouchelle altering the law relating to
the County Commissioners office;
also the bill introduced by Delegate
James authorizing bond issue (un-
der certain restrictions) of 100000
for permanent road improvement;
also an Administration Bill calling for
the appointment of a Police Justice in
Elkton by the Governor.
AS to matters of State wide inter-
est, the bill to abolish racetrack
gambling was defeated in the closing
hours of the session, after long,
hard fight wherein the racing people
t.aded everything un6er the sun for
latee. Tn tiil rro"IGing for COM
plete reorganization of the public
school system Of the State was passed
and will be studied with much inter-
est ~ Wow of the great new powers
which it confers on the State Superin-
tendcnt. A Mothers Pension Bill, a
Moving Picture Censorship Bill, a
Direct Inheritance Tax bill, far
ral general taxation bill, are
some of the notable legislation crowd
ed into the dying hours of the session.
Bond issues. calling for loan of
about five millions were authorized
and the State tax rate will be increas-
ed cents. 1t will have to go higher
as the principal on these loans begins
to fall due and fifty cent State tax
rate is not improbable.
The State will have to gather about
100000 more revenue this year than
last if it is to meet the obligations
incurred hy this Legislature without
another deficit

WHY DR.. FRANCE
SHOULD Be NOMINEE

At largely attended meeting of the
Eighth Ward Republican Club, of Ba!-
timore, recently. and which was pre-
sided over by former United States
Marshal George w. Padgett, CAPTAIN
A. W. Woodcock spoke to the resolu-
tion indorsing DR.. Frances candidacy
for the U. S. Senate as follows:
Every Republican ought to ask him
self in deciding how he should vote in
the primary election whether Dr.
France or Ex-Governor Goldsborough
would be the stronger candidate in the
general election. If we are interested
III Republican success that is the only
relevant question. | do rot have to
prove to you that Republican will
have to have the support of all Repub-
Leans in the state, all the Progress
sives in the state and considerably
large number of Democrats or indie
pendents. Therefore, it is plain that
We should nominate candidate who is
the more likely to receive the greatest
possible support from each of these
three classes. DR.. France, while he
has had an enviable public record, has
not been identified with any faction or
element of the Republican party.
There is no reason why he should not
receive the full Republican vote again.
DR.. France was not actively concerned
with the great schism of 1912. There
is no reason why he should not re-
ceive the full Progressive vote. Again,
DR.. France is exactly the kind of man
whom Independents desire to have a
chance to support. That is abstract
reasoning, but its truth has been prov
ed by the thousands of Endorsements
from men in these three classes that
he has received
have just mentioned the import
ance of our selecting a candidate who
could secure the enthusiastic support
of Progressives. This is the year
which will determine whether there is
to be a complete union between Re-
publicans and Progressives. You
should not deceive yourself by the
large decrease in the Progressive vote
during the past years. A mistake
made by the great Republican party
this year will undo all that has been
done towards reunion Thus it is a
matter of more than statewide con-
Germ that Maryland Republicans by
nominating a candidate who will be
acceptable to the Progressives show
the country at large that we intend
to amend permanently the break of
1912, so that the opposition to the
Democratic party may sweep on in
evitably to success.
This then is the reason why we are
advocating DR.. France. 1t isn't a
question of one faction triumphing
over another, or one candidate being
better than another, or any one dislik-
ing anyone else. 1t is simply ques-
ton of using our Judgment to select
the candidate who is the more likely
to win in November.
