A very enthusiastic meeting of the Mont
eomery County Game and Fish Protective
Association was held in Judge Gathers
office, Rockville, on Saturday. March goth.
The members assembled at the special
call Of the president to consider matters.
Among the subjects considered was the
present Dog Tax Law and the manner of
collecting the dog tax. 1t was pointed out
that many dog owners fail to pay this tax !;
that the dogs are allowed to run at large
contrary to law. thereby destroying the
nests and young game birds and causing
more destruction of game in a single sea-
son than all the licensed gunners of the
county. The Association went on record
as favoring the constable method Of col
lecting the dog tax. and in this it has the
support of the County Commissioners. who
have urged our representatives at An
napolis to have the State Dog Law so
amended for Montgomery county.
The attention of the public is called to
the fact that an unlicensed dog is a nui-
sance in law and may be killed by anyone
whose yard or field il enters. The men,
bers of the Association are going to avail
themselves Of this privilege. Most of the
members can shoot. so, unlicensed dogs,
look out for your hides, and as for the cats
well, their friends ought to warn them to
stay close to home.
The Association urged the passage OF a
law requiring license for trapping fur
bearing animals.
Since all the members Of this Association
are deeply interested in the preservation
Of game and fish, il was deemed fit that
no deputy game warden should be ap.
pointed in the county without the approval
Of the Association.
Toward the close Of the meeting Mr.
John F. Mills gave an interesting talk or
the relative merits of the Ithaca. Parker
and L. C. Smith make Of guns for botf
field and trap purposes.
A vote of thanks was rendered Judge
Gather for his courtesy in allowing the
use of his office for the meetings Of thu
Association.

thing about it.

Wheat Prospects Good.

In spite Of the severe winter and late
spring the wheat crop is showing signs
of being much better than was at first
expected by agricultural experts. Accord
ing to Prof, T. B. Symons, director of the
extension service staff Of the Maryland
State College of Agriculture and secretary
of the Maryland Agricultural Society, the
wheat crop is in what is technically termed
80 per cent. perfect condition.
During a winter which is consistently
cold and when there is great deal Of
snow wheat flourishes, according to Mi.
Symons. However, when the weather Is
alternately warm and cold water settles
around the base Of the plants and when
it freezes lifts the roots out Of the ground.
In this exposed condition the plants soon
die. A quantity Of hail and sleet likewise
proves adverse.
During the last winter. although there
was considerable sleet. the weather was
almost continuously cold and the wheat
did not grow large enough to be seriously
injured. The fact that 1t has been con-
tinuously cold almost up to the present
time makes the prospect not only for wheat
but for all fruits much brighter than was
thought during the winter
Unless there is heavy frost about the
middle of April. Prof. Symons said. fruit
will have passed its crisis, and there will
be large yield. The cold weather has
prevented premature budding, and slow
development Of the fruit will take place.
With reference to the tomato outlook,
Professor Symon said conditions were puz-
zling. Gamers have been refusing to make
contracts because they fear the Govern
ment will release large quantities Of can
ned goods left from army supplies, and
that the market will become demoralized.
The farmer consequently Is doubtful as to
the acreage he should lay aside for toma-
toes. A new system by which the yield
| Of tomatoes may be raised from three and
a-half or four to six or eight tons an acre
is being explained to the farmers and 1t Is
likely that by this means 1t will be posi-
BILE for him to protect himself. The sys-
TEN calls for scientific fertilizing and for
spraying at certain seasons with solutions
selected after an analysis Of the soil.

eminent to insure united action in the
event of outside aggression.
This doctrine was thought so essential
to our continuation as one people that as
soon as the Constitution was adopted, for
fear that it had not been sufficiently en-
phasized. amendments were made to it,
stating in the fewest and plainest words
possible that entire sovereignty remained
in the States. except so far as portion of
1t had been Enthusiastically granted to the
central government.
From the first traitors and plotters have
sought to destroy this sheet-anchor of our
national safety. But, thanks to the des-
tiny which has so far guided our course,
the great heart Of the people has been true
to 1t. Even in the crisis Of our Civil War,
when the South was beaten into the dust
in defending it, the victors marched home
with the determination Of being not citi-
zens OF a great consolidated empire. but
citizens of Massachusetts,. New York, Penn
sylvania, etc. The vanquished were the
victors, for the idea for which they fought
lived in the hearts Of their conquerors.
We have vivid illustration Of what
consolidation leads to in recent history. 1t
has been Justly said that the most dis
tineuishing characteristic Of the Teuton
character was love Of civil and personal
liberty. Our own love Of liberty comes
from our Teutonic ancestors. As long as
the German States maintained their indi-
vidual sovereignty the Germans we're a
wise and advancing people. the leaders of
human thought and human enterprise.
Ambitious plotters went to work and
blotted out State lines. We know the re-
suit. The originators Of liberty became
the slaves of a despot who made them
drunk with his own ambition and led them
to their ruin.
Let US profit by their example Let us
keep our Constitution, as fashioned by the
fathers. clean and pure; and be 1t South
Carolina or Rhode Island that cries to us
for assistance in this great enterprise, fly
to her assistance.

Lot Us Take Warning From Ger
Mays Fate How We Sacrifice
The Vital Principle OF State
Sovereignty.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T is interesting to watch
history repeat and also reverse itself. In
1881 a small Southern State defed the
Federal Government in defense OF great
principle. After a struggle. which North
ern writer says was never equaled in his
tory except by the Romans in the second
Punic war. she lost. Now, go years after,
q tiny Northern State challenges that same
Government in defense Of that same prin-
ciple but she gets no sympathy from the
land Of Hayne and Calhoun. and Virginia,
mother Of Jefferson and Madison. OF Ma
son and Randolph. Of Lee and Jackson,
who interposed her body between the storm
and her Southern sister. turns her back
upon her Northern sister in,her cry for help.
Oh, Virginia. what fairy has poured the
Juice of Love in Idleness" in your eyes
that you have come to repudiate the doc
trine first announced by your immortal
son-"Government derive their just powers
from the consent Of the governed ?" Your
heroic dead will not sleep" II they can
know that you have broken faith" with
them who died for this great principle.
The fathers OF our Government had
difficult task in making It's Constitution.
With prophetic vision they saw that with
our vast territory and the empire-making
instincts Of the Anelo-Saxon race the
Government they were binding would one
day become one of II not the greatest
power on earth. And yet the teachings
Of all history behind them showed them
that a democratic form Of government had
not been a safe and permanent govern
ment for a great State. 1t had proven the
best for a small State. where all the peo-
pie we're neighbors and interests we're
Identical; but only the iron hand Of
despotic central power could hold together
the far separate units Of a far-spread en-
pire.
How to make ours both safe and great
was their dilemma. With a vision and
judgment never equaled they evolved the
doctrine Of States Rights" We would
be small and big at the same time. Each
community would guard It's own interests
and yet they could have the strength Of
unity by each State surrendering frac-
J ton Of It's sovereignty to a central gov

Wet Cause Strong In Maryland

There is no doubt that II the people of
Maryland were given an opportunity TO
vote on prohibition they would be against
1t overwhelmingly" remarked j. A. Joyce,
Of Baltimore, at the Washington. This Is
reflected in the sentiment among the leg
islators at Annapolis. where II the delegates
and members of the Senate were to express
their real views they would be two to one
against prohibition. The question Of
referendum has no terrors for the vets OF
Maryland, for they know that the voters
will register their opposition at the polls.
ut Is for this reason that Gov. Edwards.
of New Jersey, is popular among the Dem
ocrats, and have no doubt he could carry
the State in the presidential primary. 1t
is likely, however, that Gov. Richie will be
Maryland's favorite son at San Francisco.
He would defeat Attorney General Palmer,
and II looks now as II his friends are 60
ing to insist on running him. Among the
Republicans there Is a strong disposition
to send an uninstructed delegation to the
convention. The supporters OF Gen. Wood
made an effort to induce the organization
to instruct for the general, but the leaders
Of the party opposed any instructions for
the soldier candidate. have found that
the sentiment Is largely for Senator Hard
ing and Gov. Lowden, and believe either
Of these will receive the votes OF a ma
jority OF the Maryland delegation in the
convention Senator Harding has some adj
vantage, because he has frequently spoken
in Maryland and is perhaps better known
than the Illinois Governor. Washington
