ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.

God works in mysterious ways His
wonders to perform" Thus far in
this great world war while the colored
man has received some very serious
and painful jolts there have been
much good to come out of Nazareth.
At first, when with their usual 10y.
atty and patriotism colored men for.
got their color and undertook to get
into the game just as other citizens
of this land of the free and the home
of the brave" did, they were rather
rudely awakened from their dreams.
They, however, pocketed their chagrin
as best they could but did not let I'D
in their efforts to prove their loyalty
and patriotism all over this country,
and the outlook is quite encouraging.
Friends of the dominant race who are
not ashamed nor afraid to speak their
sentiments boldly, are being heard
from on all sides in complimentary
terms of the patriotism, loyalty, brav-
cry and soldierly bearing. This is
very encouraging.
A few days ago at Camp Grant,
Rockford, ILL.,, Maj. Gen. Thomas H.
Barry paid some very high compli-
ments. Among other things he said:
II have served with colored troops
In peace and in war off and on for
more than forty years, and 1 have al
ways found them equal to any emer-
sency, if properly handled, led, and
given the consideration that you are
to.
Under some white skins there are
black hearts; and the heart, after all,
s the real test of the man."
Is not this encouraging?

PASSING OF PIONEER REPUB-

at the ripe age of eighty-two, was one
of the founders of the Republican
party. An early Free Soiler, he was
active in the organization of the FIRE.
mont campaign in 1856; and his State
was among those which gave their
electoral votes to the Pathfinder. The
friend of Lincoln, Mr.. Chandler came
to Washington in the days of the
Civil War and was an assistant secre-
tary of the treasury. He became Sec
rotary of the Republican National
Committee, and his activities in, the
disputed Presidential election of 1876
are matter of history. He served
in President Arthur's Cabinet as Sec-
rotary of the Navy; and under him
were taken the first steps in the
building of the new navy, the white
Squadron" of his day having now be-
come the second largest naval force
afloat. For fourteen years he repre-
sented New Hampshire in the Senate:
and on his retirement from that posi-
ton he become president of the CON-
mission which settled the claims
growing out of the war with Spain.
For sixty years he was active in pub
lie affairs, having outlived nearly all
OF his contemporaries of pioneer Re-
publican days and having maintained
his interest in constructive political
work to the end.

Partisan Citizens Protective Commlttee)
Many persons who do not object to
the annexation of a moderate part of
Baltimore county to the city, including
only the closely built-up suburbs, say
the territory, population and wealth to
be taken from the county by the bill
proposed by Mayor Preston are unrea-
sonable and excessive, and that the re.
suit will be disastrous to the county.
According to the statement of the
Non-Partisan Greater Baltimore Exten.
sion League, as published in the
Leagues official pamphlet, the area to
be taken from Baltimore county is ass
square miles. The area of Baltimore
city at present is SOL square miles.
The relative sizes OF the city and the
proposed annex are readily grasped by
looking at the figure below, in which
the shaded portion represents the city
and the white space the portion pro-
posed to be taken from the county:

should be a law to compel every dog to

gardeners should have the privilege to
shoot everyone caught running at

or two, they won't have to ask: why

How can we farmers raise more

There are too many dogs running at

ure what it costs to keep a dog a year,
there would not be so many worthless

acres of forest and farm lands.
SEE WHAT FOLLOWED.
The population Of Baltimore in
1916 was 6,555, and its area 937
acres. BY Act of 1916, Chapter
209, the limits were extended to
S,448 acres.
The population in 1880 was So
625, a gain, within fourteen years
after annexation, of IS per cent.
over the census Of 1910.
If the Legislature of 1918 gives
Baltimore City the extension ask
ed for, gain in the same ratio
would give Baltimore population
OF one million in the census Of 1880.
WHAT THIS WILL MEAN TO MARY
