Harry W. Nice, the Republican can
didate for governor, at present the
States Attorney for Baltimore, is
one of the most democratic men in
public life today No one, be he
pauper or millionaire, will fail of a
careful, patient and courteous hear
ing, should Nice be elected. All his
life he has shown this trait. 1t is not
assumed but is strong part of his
makeup. His conscientious regard for
duty, shown so ably in the States
Attorneys Office, as Election Supervi-
sor, as secretary to Mayor Timanus
and as City Councilman, may make
it necessary for him to refuse some
who appeal to him, but at all times
and in every crisis the applicant will
feel that Nice has a big heart and a
mind quick to grasp the merits of an
appeal
There will be no chasm between the
governor and the people of the State
in his case He has insisted that he
can learn something from everyone,
and what surprises those who meet
him is how quickly he does this. Those
who fear that his great big heart
might cause him to fall into blunders
of judgement should remember that
he has been in the States Attorneys
Office for seven years and knows how
to say no as well as yes Nice has
always stood up for the square deal.
Among the friends of his boyhood
he is called Barrel Nice, not, as at
first suggested because of his stout
ness, but because he went from door
to door in the mining region begging
-four for poor widow until he had
collected a whole barrel, which he
rolled up the hill to the door of her
home, His deeds of kindness have
been numerous enough to fill book.
He will get many votes on his per-
sonal popularity.

the piece de resistance and all bass
catches since on the North Branch
of the Potomac, which is only five
miles from Barton, are gagged by the
Harry Nice bass.
The winter of '94 and '95 was a
bitter one, with much snow and zero
weather. Harry Nice, then attending
Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa, was
home for the holidays. Rev. Mr.. Nice
in the course of his pastoral labors
had discovered a case of peculiar dis
tress and poverty near the town. A
widow, whose late husband had been
the victim of a fatal mine accident,
with her little children, were in dire
want Rev. Mr. Nice set about al
leviating this distress, which he had
mentioned at the dinner table to his
family. Harry Nice called a meeting
of the boys; laid the case before them
and suggested that each boy give up
his Christmas money to go into
fund for groceries for this family. The
plan was adopted and in carrying it
out it was decided to have some of the
boys get bag each of flour from their
home supply. Harry Nice advised:
"Boys, let's each bring a 25-pound
bag and make it barrel, and they
did, and on account of the weather
this barrel of flour thus made up
and weighing over 200 pounds, was
carried by Harry Nice and other
boys up the hillside through the snow
to the widows home on a handbar-
row. Barrel Nice he is in Barton and
he will never be anything else to the
Bartonites. He will be elected Govern
or over Albert C. Richie by 5000 or
10000 majority. He will make good
Governor, but if you ask anyone in
Barton who is Governor of Mary
land you will get the answer, Barrel
Nice" and they will resent any at
tempt to have Harry live it down
They are as proud of him as if he was
their blood kin, and if election dis
trict No. 9 of Allegany county Bar
ton district) casts single vote for
Albert c. Richie somebody in Bar
ton will be under suspicion
Barrel Nice was noted for his strict
morality. He was not prudish or
foolish, but immortality he despised
and condemned and he did much to
heighten the moral tone of other
boys in Barton. In this characteristic
he is not unlike the late Col. Roose-
welt, and indeed this comparison is
frequently drawn by his close person.
al friends. He will take into Gov
eminent House at Annapolis these
high ideals and will give Maryland
an administration to be proud of in
every way.
Maryland has had a long line of
high class and noted men as chief
executive. Watch Governor Nice set
a pace that will require of his sue
cessors very high order of merit.

ton, Allegany county, and in the
heart of the Georges Greek coal re-
gion. He took up his residence there
with Mrs. Nice and his family, con-
sisting of Harry and Albert and
daughter May, another son, H. Clay,
now deceased, remainin in and trav-
cling out of Baltimore for a dental
supply house. The arrival of a new
preacher is usually an "event" in
Barton, and the whole town gener-
ally turned out to greet and size
him UP. The term "whole town" is
not intended to convey the impress
sion of largeness or eXpanse of area
when applied to Barton. Residents of
the town when asked as to the sort
of town it was would reply: Twelve
hundred and sixty-two people, five
mines, Is saloons, stores, 8 churches
and doctors. This formula was short
ly after the arrival of the Nices re-
vised to: Barton has Harry Nice and
1862 other people
1t took Harry Nice just one week to
capture the hearts of every resident
of the town. He was large, fat, a
genuine wit, a great practical joker,
possessed a heart of gold and could
lift more, hit harder in boxing
bout, outrun, outswim, outshoot, out
work and knew more about books
than any other boy (for boy he was,
then being but II years old in the
town. He was square; abhorred
meanness and oppression; would fight
any boy or man that would impose
upon the weak or inflict needless pain
on dumb animal, for he was withal
devoted to animals of all kinds-dogs,
cats, horses, even mules shared his
affections, and within a week after
the "house- warming" at the parson-
age Harry had a veritable animal
show established in and around the
church and parsonage property.
He despised a cheap sport" or a
crooked one or a one-sided decision
on any question and speedily became
the umpire and judge and, in fact,
final arbiter in all disputes. He heard
both sides, weighed the evidence and
made his decision, usually the right
one, and he was big enough to en-
force his decree.
He encouraged the boys to adopt
manly games and sports, and marbles,
skit and leap frog, speedily gave way
to football, basebell, boxing and
wrestling. Penny ante and other
gambling games, under his guidance,
gave way to rifle shooting, horseback
riding and fishing. He knew the right
way to do things, and being just out
of the City College of Baltimore, he
had all the latest dope" on games
and sports. He got up early in the
morning and taught other boys to
do it. He organized expeditions and
explored the mines and mountains
around Barton, and one of his IA
vorite diversions was to get up at
2 o'clock in the morning and walk
to Dams Rock, highest point on the
mountains, seven miles from Barton,
to see the sun rise. He organized
camping and fishing parties and on
one of the latter himself caught the
largest black bass ever taken from
the upper Potomac. He brought more
than the story Of his catch home.
He brought the bass and it weighed
five pounds two and quarter ounces.

p. c. Barnes, Lawyer Of Cumberland
Recalls BOyhoOd Days Of Candidate
P. c. Barnes, an attorney of
Cumberland, and former play
mate of Harry w. Nice, Republi-
can candidate for Governor, has
written an interesting account
of the boyhood of Barrel" Nice,
as everybody in the Georges
Creek called him. Barrel" as
he explains, does not refer to the
shape of the candidate, but is a
title bestowed upon him because
he obtained a barrel of flour for
a poor widow.
To know the people, understand the
people and appreciate them in the
fullest sense one must live with
them in their homes, enter into their
sports, work with them, play with
them, rejoice with them and sorrow
with them.
Harry W. Nice has done all this
and much more. He has fought for
them, and fouht Them when he
deemed their position wrong and his
own the right one. 1t follows then
that he must understand them with
the great knowledge that can only be
gained by such contact.

THOUGHT OF PENSIONS
 HALTS BRITISH POLICE
 IN PROPOSED WALK0UT

LONDON, May S1.-The repetition today in Liverpool, Lancaster, Bir' mingham, Portsmouth and other pro vincial cities where a police strike is threatened, of the order issued Friday by General Macready, commissioner of the metropolitan police force, had a sobering effect on the older men on the forces in those cities and in Lon don. The commissioners order was that any officer or man failing to re- port for duty would be dismissed and would not be permitted to rejoin the force under any circumstances
 The older men are not inclined to jopardize their pay and pensions for the police demands-recognition of the union and reinstatement of dis missed constables.
 The younger men, however, are all for strike and as they formed ma majority of the union members in London, it is expected that the vote will be overwhelmingly in favor of strike.
 Police officials said today that ar engagements had been completed to protect the public should the police men go out.

CROWDS LAMB DEPOT TO SEE WILLARD BUT
 HE FAILS TO APPEAR

TOLEDO, May 31.-Hundreds of ad. mirers of Jess Willard damned the union station here tonight in anticipa- tion of the arrival of the heavyweight champion, but were disappointed as Bib Jess" stopped off today at his home in Lawrence, Kans, to visit his wife and five children before pro- ceeding here to resume training for his contest with Dempsey July 4. When Tex Rickard learned that Will lard halted at Lawrence for a day, he smiled and said he did not blame him a bit.
 Willard, according to telegram to Rickard, left Lawrence at $40 o'clock this afternoon, which probably means that he will reach Toledo tomorrow night
 Ray Archer, his business representa- tive, has a ring ready for the cham pion to get down to training.
 After reeling off seven miles on the road this morning Dempsey indulged in swimming race, beating Bill Tate, his sparring partner, and two other contestants. He boxed four rounds again this afternoon, two with Tate and two with Terry Keller. Dempsey worked with more dash and speed and it was noted that his road work had sharpened his wind.
 Manager Kearns said that Dempsey would rest up for four or five days aft CT Willard gets on the scene.
 The Jamaica Kid, a negro heavy weight from the east, will be here Monday to join iDempsey's staff of sparring partners.

Is Prince Of Wales Grooming For
 First President Of Great Britain?

LONDON, May 31.-Is the Prince of Wales being groomed- for first president of Britain?
 Or is there campaign on to make him so popular that he will sit firmly on the throne for which he is some day intended,
 Whatever the purpose the Prince of Wales is just now the most press agented person in all Europe.
 It began right after the armistice when some of the British papers mod estly declared it was a shame royal modesty and British reserve kept from the world the knowledge of the princes bravery on the field of battle, And then they went on to relate the instances when the prince went over the top. And they told of his cool ness under fire.
 Having established his reputation for bravery, the papers fed the public stories of his democracy, of his ming ling with the men in camps and bar racks. They told of the joking he stood for and of his hearty hand shake.
 Then the prince went home and joined the Masons, which every good politician does.
 Stories of whom the prince might marry and pictures of pretty girls all over Europe who would be eligible as next queen of England kept alive in terest and the boyish face of the prince looked we'll among them.
 The prince went down into the slums and tenements of London and the incidents of his shaking the sudsy hands of costers' wives and holding the babies made copy that would de light the heart of ward heeler.
 Now here comes the prince smok- ing the cigars of the most democratic man in England, dressed like the most democratic man in England and hav- ing his picture taken with the most democratic man in England-Lloyd George-just after a luncheon given by the most democratic man in Eng land at which the prince was the guest of honor.
