New State Treasurer Takes
Hold of Affairs.

STATE HOUSE ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Feb
ruarY q, 1918. -This week has seen
important changes in the management
of State affairs. MIR. John NJ. Dennis
has retired from the position of Treas
urer of Maryland and member of the
Board of Public Works, and Mr.. Will
liam 2. jackson has taken his place
The last republican to hold the position
OF treasurer was the late General
Thomas j. Shyrock, who gave it up to
the late Murray Vendiyer, just eigh-
teen years ago. The Board of Public
Works will remain democratic, however,
Governor Harrington and Comptroller
McMullin, both democrats, in control.
Mr.. Dennis and Mr.. McMullin both
deserve well of the people of Maryland
for their able and careful devotion to
duty during the past two years. Both
are successful business men of the
highest type. to whom politics and
public office are only incidents to their
careers. Both have the respect and
esteem of all who know them. regard
less of party, and both men have devot-
ed much time, care, and attention, to
their duties.
The General Assembly is dragging its
weary way, now beyond the middle
point of the session. The Annexation
Bill seems to be tied up with red tape,
which may be unwound later on, and
which may re wound tighter aud tight
er as the session draws to a close. There
seems to be determination on the part
OF the leading county Senators. re-
gardiess of party. to safeguard the
counties before the Bill is allowed to
become a law in any form. No bill will
be perminted to pass which will in any
way increase the political prcponder-
ance Of Baltimore City. The counties
have been in the saddle in Maryland
ever since Baltimore. became great
centre of population. The State has
been well and economically governed
during all these years, and no Injustice
has been done any section, and no in
justice is likely to be done in the future:

ALL OUT OF SORTS.

Has Any Princeton Person Never Felt
That Way.
Feel all out Of sorts? q
Tired, Blue, Irritable, Nervous?
Back feel lame and achy?
Perhaps it's the story of disordered
kidneys ..
Bad blood circulating about;
Uric acid poisoning the body.
There's way to feel right again,
Stimulate the sluggish kidneys;
Do it with Doan's Kidney Pills.
Doan's are recommended by many
Princeton people.
Here's one case. -
Mrs. Jos. Craig, Princeton, says: 81
know Doan's Kidney Pills are fine, for
T have used them several times when
I have had backache or other kidney
complaint and they have always given
me fine relief. When my kidneys have
been out Of order. I have felt run
down. I have had headaches and have
been nervous. It has never taken
Doan's Kidney Pills more than short
time to bring good results"

COulu SeC CnTOuSn.
The incidental effect of this trans
portation situation on coal production
has been disastrous. There is, and al
ways has been, plenty of fuel, but it
cannot be moved to those places where
it is badly needed while railroad lines
and terminals are choked. Throughout
the coal fields scores, and even hun
dreds, Of mines are lying idle because
of railroad inability to supply the
cars to carry away their product. Coal
mines cannot operate without cars.
Cars cannot be supplied while the rail-
roads are crippled by the present
freight congestion, which keeps idle
cars lying useless in the freight yards.
For the last week the production of
coal has been disastrously reduced.
Reports in some cases have shown 80
per cent of mines in certain fields
closed completely for lack of cars.
This is war. Whatever the cost, we
must pay it, so that in the face of the
enemy there can never be the reproach
that we held back from doing our full
share. Those ships, laden with our
supplies of food for men and food for
guns, must have coal and put to sea.

Reasons for Fuel Order.


Washington, Jan. Following is
the statement by Fuel Administrator
Garfield in explanation of the fuel
order given tonight:
The most urgent thing to be done is
to send to the American forces abroad
and to the allies the food and war sup
plies which they vitality need. War mu-
nitions, food, manufactured articles Of
every description, lie at our Atlantic
ports in tens Of thousands of tons,
while literally hundreds of ships, wait
ing, loaded with war goods for our
men and the allies, cannot take the
seas because their bunkers are empty
Of coal. The coal to send them on their
way is waiting behind the congested
freight that has damned all terminals
It is worse than useless to bend our
energies to more manufacturing when
what we have already manufactured
lies at tidewater, congested terminal
facilities, jamming the railroad yards
and sidetracks for a long distance back
into the country. No power on earth
can move this freight into the war
zone where it is needed until we sup
ply the ships with fuel.
Once the docks are cleared of the
valuable freight for which our men
and associates in the war now wait in
vain, then again our energies and
power may be turned to manufacture
ing, more efficient than ever; so that
a steady and uninterrupted stream Of
vital supplies may be this nations
answer to the allies cry for help.
It has been excess of production, in
our wartime speeding up, that has
done so much to cause congestion on
our railroads, that has filled the
freight yards to overlooking, that has
cluttered the docks of our Atlantic
ports with goods waiting to go abroad.
At tidewater the flood Of freight has
stopped. The ships were unable to
complete the journey from our fac
tories to the war depots behind the
firing line.
Added to this has been the difficulty
Of transporting coal for our own do
nestle needs. On top of these difficult
ties has come one of the most terribly
severe winters we have known in
years.
The wheels were choked and stopped;
zero weather and snow-bound trains;
terminals congested; harbors and ship
ping frozen in; rivers and canals i'm
passable-it was useless to continue
manufacturing and pile confusion on
top of confusion. s~G.@E.s
A clear line from the manufacturing
establishments to the seaboard and be-
You'd; that was the imperative need
It was like soldiers marching to the
front. The men in the foremost ranks
must have room to move.
More than a shock was needed to
make way through that congestion al
the terminals and on the docks, so that
the aid, so vitality needed by the allies

that with the road men and telephone
men working together no interference
with the telephone lines would occur.
The contractors are ready TO start
grading on the Philadelphia Pike, but
are held up temporarily on account Of
the telephone company's objections.
The department has taken on several
new men including engineers, inspect
ors and road men.
