GOVERNOR doLDsBORoUOH
THE MAN.

Under the law in those years in
which the election Of President is
held the primaries take place on the
fist Monday IN May. This is due to
the tact tina, the National Conven-
tions are held in June and in order
that Maryland can participate in
nominating the standard bearers Of
both parties delegates must be elect
ed prior to that time, hence, the rea-
son for holding the primaries earlier
than usual.
For the first time since the direct
primary law went ioto effect there
will be a contest in the Republican
Party for the nomination for U. S.
Senator. There are two candidates,
Former Governor Goldsborough and
DIR. Joseph Irwin France, former
State Senator Of Cecil County,
Both are consistent and good repub-
lieans. The former has been most
active in party councils and in be-
half of the interests of the party
while the latter has been practically
unknown until brought out as can
didate for the q. S. Senate. How
ever, their personal party loyalty be-
ing equal the voter must look to the
ability and qualifications of the two
men and then ask himself which
possesses the better ability and quaI-
fcations to uphold the interest Of
Maryland in the U. S. Senate. I'm
questionably former Governor GJlds-
borough stands head and shoulders
above his opponent. He has been
Governor of this State for the last
four years and in that Office exhibit
ed the dignity, fairness and states
mansh'p neeessa' y to make an able
and capable representative in the
upper house Of Congress. Governor
Goldsborough, aside from being an
able man, true to the interests of the
people, an excellent orator, from a
party standpoint is the man to nom
mate because of lis wonderful cam
paign abilities. Democrats would
vote for him when they would not
vote for any other Republican can
didate He is without question one
of the ablest and best cam paigners 10
this State and in order TO win against
the rommon enemy with its large
majority must nominate a man who
can not only get the solid vote of his
own party but that of the indepen-
dents and large number of Demo
Gratis. This we believe Governor
Goldsborough, because of his excel
lent record as Governor, can do
Az said by one man during this cam
paign, any Republican can find an
excuse for voting for DIR. France ia
preference to Governor Gol1sborough
but can give 10 reason for so doing.
In our judgment, therefore, from
the standpoint of ability, qualifca-
tons and a record for things accom-
plished for the good of the people
and rom party standpoint Cover.
nor Goldsborough should be nomi-
mated.
We, therefore, urge the voters of
this County to vote for him in the
coming primaries and to vote for the
following delegates to represent this
County at the State Convention to
cast the vote of Charles County for
him: Robert 7. Gray J. Wesley Key,
John F. Dorsey, who are running as
delegates favorable to his nominal
ton.

Going back to my hotel I saw in one of the store windows two tubs of geran- iums with stems as high as a man and with red blossoms 12 inches in circum- ference.
 I am stopping in Skagway at the Pullen House, whose vegetables and fruits come from farm that covers the site of the old town of Dyea. Mrs. Pullen. who keeps the hotel, has house of 20 rooms and eight baths, surrounded by several acres of beautiful lawn, planted with trees and flowers. A stream of mountain water flows through the lawn, and she has cut out little island in the midst of it and has built rustic bridges here and there so that the whole makes one think of Japan. Mrs. Pullen's farm has 32C acres. She tells me she has 40, acres in oats, which she is raising for grain hay, and that she has already put her rye-hay crop in the barn. The barn, by the way, is one of the deserted houses built dur ing the mining excitement, when Dyea had something like 10000 people. Others of the houses have been torn away to make room for the crops, and practically nothing of the once thriving mining cen ter is now to be seen.
 
 Klondike there were two roads or trails from the head of the Lynn canal over the mountains. One started here at Skag- way and climbed up through the White pass to Lake Bennett, and then went on down the Yukon to Dawson. The other began at Dyea, which is four miles away, and went over the Chilkoot pass to the Yukon At first Dyea had the lead It built tram, running on a cable, that carried freight up the pass, although the passengers had to walk or as they say here, ''mush it. on foot. As the cars rose into the air. upheld by the wire rope they swung this way and that and now and then some of the freight was spilled out Once the train carried 94 hogs. The motion made them dizzy and seasick and half of them jumped from the cars and left large grease spots on the rocks far below.
 Another time, a woman came along with parrot She was told that the bird would be carried and that all she had to do was to hang the cage in the car She was afraid to risk her dear Polly, and so she took him out and carried him up oh her wrist. She sent the cage by the train, and, when she had climed to the top, found that it was so crushed that it could not be used. x
 By and by the White Pass railway was built and the miners were taken by steam over the mountains. This sounded the death knel of Dyea. The crowd. rushed to Skagway, where the new, road began. The most of them left their houses with out trying to sell them, and some aban- doned their furniture, including the china

Wasting Centuries of Time

Aoii thC oCtIolL T rec fT6SS.
 According to the New York state bu- reau of mediation and arbitration, be- tween September 30, 1914, and September 30, 1915. there were 1O4 strikes in that state, involving 56,2O2 persons, who lost total of S6S,838 working days or more than B centuries of productive time Con- servatively the workers lost more than $2,2oO,OOO and employers probably s, ,O0O GOO more. The general public lost the use and benefit of a large percentage of these millions and the sums necessary to sup port more than 5000 persons in idleness. Nor will this conclude the bill of costs. The workers in idleness drew on reserves. So did the employers. There probably were some business failures as an after math of strikes. Some workers start ed toward pauperism The general diso- cation of business and the injury to the whole public are not computable in terms of dollars and cents. Nor can results be confined to the space of single year Some consequences are practically unend- ing.
 These items give some hay ideas as to the practical value of the strike as a means of adjusting industrial questions and of the usefulness of arbitral means and methods. As general rule strikes are to be ascribed to temper and un- compromising attitudes on one or both ties even the nonparticipant bystanders. are injured, frequently beyond repair.
 The remedy. Isn't it obvious?

had all sorts of ways of feecing the miners who passed through on their way to the Klondike, and also of getting the gold of those who came back.
 Captain Baughman of the Humboldt, the ship in which came to Skagway, told me the other day how the advance agents come back with the crowd on his steamer. The crowd consisted of miners, each of whom had an outfit that had cost about $500, and in addition enough money to get him to Dawson. Some had more some less. It cost a great deal to get the freight over the mountains and Soapys s agents, who were pretended miners, would I, organize companies with view to get ting cheap freight, and they would take from each member of the company an order to the ship to release his goods to the packers. Upon landing the men would run the miners into Soapy's gambling sa- loon, where, within the space of an hour they were sure to lose all their money at cards. They then had not enough to pay their freight bills and as result the outfits would fall into the hands of the gang. Captain Baughman told me that 1t would take only about 40 or 50 min utes after the ship came to anchor for the men to land and lose all their money and come back weeping and beg for steerage passage home.
 As time went on the robbers grew bolder and matters became worse and worse. Miners coming out from Daw- son had their bags of gold stolen from them, and it finally became unsafe for any stranger in Skagway. This impress sion went to the outside and it was hurt ing the town. The climax was capped py the robbing of a young miner named Stewart, who had just come from Daw- son with poke containing $27OO in gold dust. The man made a fuss, and promi- asked him to give back the money He refused and a vigilance committee was formed. Soapy threatened to shoot upon sight any man that dared to attack him, and when four attempted to make an arrest he put his cooked rifle against the stomach of their leader, the city engineer, whose name was Frank Reid Reid grabbed the gun and drew his re- volver, but Smith pulled the trigger and the ball passed through Reid's body and came out of his right hip. At the same time Reid fired two or three shots in rapid succession, and one of his bullets pierced Soapy Smiths heart, while an- other wounded him in the leg. Before falling, Smith fired second shot, strik- ing Reid in the leg. Then both men fell, Soapy Smith stone dead and Frank Reid mortaly wounded. After this the others of the gang were hunted down and driven out of the country.
 I asked Captain Baughman, who knew Soapy Smith, as to what became of his money. The captain replied: -s
