DROWNED ON WAY HOME
Prominent Marylander Loses His
Life at Oxford.

Easton. Md, Sept. 5.-Col. f. Car
roll Goldsborough was drowned last
| evening at the steamboat wharf, On
| ford, near his home.
Colonel GoldSbOrough left his
home in Oxford Tuesday afternoon IN
| his launch TO visit his brother, Mat
thew Tilghman Goldsborough, at OF
well. on the Tired Avon river. When
| he left there later in the evening he
was not feeling we'll. After he had
gone his brother had to go to OK
| ford and, upon reaching there, went
| to the COlOnelS home and asked for
him, and being tolu that he had not
arrived, he said he had left his house
| long enough to have been home over
an hour. He thought something was
| wrong and went to the steamboat
| wharf. where he found his brothers
| launch tied to the wharf and several
packages lying on the wharf and two
or three others floating around in the
water, but could not find any trace
| OF the Colonel. He gave the alarm
! and q search was made for the body,
which was found about $50 O'Clock
! tonight after dragging for 1t all day.
| The SuppOSition is that after he
| had tied his boat fast he started to
put his packages on the wharf and
| in doing so his boat hit the piling
| and threw him against one, knocking
| him SenSelesS, or he was stricken
! with apopleXy and fell overheard and
was drowned. There was no eyewit-
ness to the accident.
| Colonel Goldsborough was in Eas-
| ton yesterday, where he purchased
fine residence and intended to
| move here with his family shortly.
| Colonel GoldSborough was d great
| grandson of Gen. Tench TiIghman,
| aide de camp OF General Washing
| ton.
Besides his widow, he leaves six
children, James Nicholas, Martha,
Richard. Mary Hill. Judith and Fran
brother, Matthew Tilghman Colds
| borough, and three sisters, Mrs.
| Frances Johnston, Mrs. Henry Maser
! Smythe. of Orange, n. j., and Miss
Martha Goldsborough. Colonel Col
| dsborough was graduate of the
! University of Virginia; he received
! the title of colonel by serving on the
! staff of the late Governor Hamilton.
| He had been the commodore of the
| Chesapeake Bay Yacht Club for 81
| years, and was the ranking commo-
| dore of the Yacht Racing Association

Labor Unions Help In Camp
aign for School Attendance

Organized labor throughout the
| country has been urged to lend its
aid in the campaign undertaken by
| the United States Commission of
Education to secure the greatest pos
sible school attendance this year. In
a letter addressed to State and city
labor bodies throughout the United
States. Commissioner ClaXton says:
For the protection of our boys
and girls against y unusual tempta-
many kinds, and that they may be
prepared more fully for the work of
life and the duties and responsible
ties OF citizenship, it is of the utmost
Importance that our schools shall be
maintained in full efficiency, both as
to attendance and standards of work,
during the continuance of the war,
ad everything possible should be
done TO increase their efficiency in
both respects.
The various labor organizations
and their members throughout the
country can render most valuable
help in this respect. l am therefore
appealing to all these organizations
to use their influence and to urge
their individual members to do all
they can to the end that the stand
ards of the schools in the several
States and cities shall not be lowered
in any way, and that no children of
school age shall remain out of school
except because of absolute necessity.
For the sake of this great cause,
in which l feel sure you are no less
interested than | am, am taking the
liberty of requesting you to bring
this matter to the attention of all
the labor organizations of your city.
May | also suggest that since schools
in many cities open very soon after
Labor Day, it might be very helpful
if special attention should be given
to this matter on that day, or as soon
thereafter as possible"

GET EDICATInN

The opening of the schools and col
leges serves to emphasize the enormous
importance, this year in particular, Of
all forms of practical education. The
very fact that we along with most of
the rest of the civilized world, are en-.
gagged in great war, is a powerful
reason for devoting more attention to
education than ever before.
1t is accepted as matter Of course
that the public schools will continue
their usual work, with slight modifica.
tions. 1t is the high schools and col.
leges that are most subject TO disturb.
ances due to the war. Great numbers
OF college men have enlisted or been
drafted. Many boys have enlisted from
the upper classes Of high schools. En-.
terlng classes are generally large, but
there is less assurance than usual that
the freshmen will continue through
their courses. There will be, from now
on more temptation to drop out.
There is danger in the very readi.
ness of students to volunteer for pub.
lie service. There is danger i'm any.
thing that will deter boys and girls from
going to the high school and college,
and staying there until they are fitted
for some branch of expert and useful
activity. After the war the world is
going to need educated men and wom.
en- more than ever before. There will
be new problems to face and enormous
tasks to accomplish. Trained minds
viii be essential for the reconstruc.
tion and development to which we
look forward
Technical education especially takes
on new value. The whole world is hun.
cry for technical experts. There are
not men and women In any of the
engineering professions today. The de.
mand will be greater than ever when
peace comes. And any student who is
engaged in mastering any of the tech.
meal, utilitarian branches Of learning
is serving his country no less than If
he were fighting the trenches.

Germany considers her nationals,

THE BIBLE IN WAR.

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: Along
with other increasing demands made
by the war is one for Bibles
Officials of the American Bible Society
report a demand exceeding the supply
and that It Is difficult to increase the
supply rapidly enough to meet growing
calls. This is not new experience in
time Of war, and 1t is one Of the facts
giving color to the opinion that war Is
not an unmixed evil. The pacifist has
not yet arisen to insist that peace
without Bible reading could be more
desirable condition than war out Of
which may grow the deep and serious
thinking which a reading Of the Bible
inspires. During the years of a long
peace, hardly disturbed by our three
months war with Spain. there were in.
creasing signs Of mental and moral
decadence outside of the most purely
material lines, punctuated at intervals
with the remonstrances of eminent
educators against the loose thinking
and teaching which were leaving col.
lege graduates in dense ignorance Of
the treasures of Bible literature
The German soldiers call the killed
highlanders from Scotland and Canada
the ladies from hell" We know their
mental and moral deriyations. We can
read Of them at many high points in
great literature, but the picture most
strongly recurring at the moment IS
the one to be seen In Burns "Cotter's
Saturday Night when after showing

From scenes like these Old Scotia's

genius to recognize the surprising
quality Of that deepest well spring for
making men strong in the performance
Of duty. at any risk or scarifice. Lay
bare thine arm, stretch forth thy rod.
Amen" was all the address made by

y part Of the increasing demand for
Bibles grows out Of the work of plac.
ing one Of the books in the hands of
every soldier But it is inconceivable
that, at such a time, word bereft OF
comfort and almost Of hope should not
be turning back TO that old fount Of
knowledge, ineXhaustible in its wisdom.
for the illumination Of all darkness
and the tightening Of all shadows.
Seekers after newer sources Of light

last piratical proposition does not
come TO us direct from the kaiser and
his junkers, II comes to us via the
pacifists.
Literally these pacfists are lending I'm.
tellectual and moral aid and comfort To
the public enemy-the avowed and
boastful enemy of democracy. OF peace.
and of the freedom Of nations.
President Lincoln, whom the pacifsts
do not dare attack, approved of the i'm

wished to treat with the enemy and
finally sent him over into the enemy's
lines. 1t is clear that If our German.

we doubt that he would end by sending

punishment it is true, but one against
which they could scarcely complain. as
they profess to find little or no differ.

No doubt some of these pacifsts are
too weak-minded and weak willed to
know what they are doing. Others are
intellectual and moral perverts. These
