Fayors Clean Racing.

The Maryland State Grange has
passed the following resolutions:
Whereas, The Maryland state
Grange favors clean racing as pro
vided for by the laws of New YORK
and other states, and the breeding
and racing of standard bred horses
and
Whereas, We believe the free use
of stations offered by the Maryland
Jockey Club is misleading and detrl-
mental to the breeders of farm horses,
as such grades are undesirable for
farm or utility purposes, and
Whereas, We believe that race
track gambling corrupts and stulll-
ffes the morals of our citizens, and
Whereas, We believe that the gov
erning factors of race tracks where
gambling is permitted have an evil
influence upon the social and polltl-
cal conditions of our state, =
Therefore, be it resolved, That We
the members of the Maryland State
Grange In the 47th Session assembled
do hereby record our disapproval OF
race track gambling and will use our
best endeavors to rid our state or this
great evil, and
Be it further resolved, That we Will
cooperate with the Maryland Anti
Race Track Gambling Association
and such other organizations as may
have the above purposes IN view.

IS THIS YOUR EXPERIENCE !?
Many Westminster People Are Afflicted

Are you bothered with too frequent
action of the kidneys? Are the secre-
lions highly colored-do they contain
sediment-burn and scald in voiding?
These are all signs of kidney sickness
and should not be neglected. Westmln-

Pills. If your back aches and your
kidneys are weak you will find no bet

ST, Westminster,E says: My BACK
hurt so much at times / couldn't lift
ANYTHING very heavy and my sight was
poor. 1 also had to get up during the
night to pass the kidney secretlons

then again scanty. Doan's Kidney Pills

WOMAN CONFESSES
ANOTHER
STAYING

She Admits Murder After Being De-
prived OF Cigarettes For Twenty
Four Hours.
Deprived Of cigarettes, for which
she had a craving for more than "a
hours, Mrs. Marie Warren, held at
Mineola, N. Y, as a material witness
in connection with the murder of
Mrs. Clara Branch at Valley Stream
November IA confessed that she was
the murderess.
Mrs. Branch was housekeeper for
Capt. Henry Wright. She was found
in her room with her head cleft by
an, axe.
In confessing to the murder, Mrs
Warren told of the theft of more than
$3.50 from the dead woman. This
money was recovered from Miss
Catherine Hayes, actress, off River
side drive, New York, to whom Mrs.
Warren said she gave it on Novem-
Der Ia. On that same day Mrs. War
rem paid $25 to a Broadway hotel
proprietor for the privilege Of taking
some papers out of her trunk, which
had been garnished by the hotelkeep-
er for non-payment of board.
Mrs. Warren gave her age as 81
and Indianapolis, Ind, as her birth
place. The emotion of her confess
sion had apparently passed from her,
and she looked attractive in a man
nish-appearing costume consisting of
a black skirt, a mans silk shirt, col
lar and tie, beaver picture hat, black
shoes, gray spats and a heavy black
overcoat.
Throughout the questioning, ac-
cording to Mr.. Edwards, Mrs. War
rem begged the boon of a cigarette.
and the craving was so fierce that at
one time she declared she would Gle
II 1t was not granted. The au-
thorities refused, and it is thought
that the want of that stimulus to iier
nerves led ultimately to her break
down.

Has the Situation Changed!

The Baltimore American says:
THE situation has changed for the
Anti-Saloon League. How pronounc-
ed the change is only the vote will
show, but it is very evident that it can
no longer romp away with things.
Significant in connection with the
situation is the personnel. On the
whole Western Shore of Maryland not
single Senator who supported the
Leagues program two years ago and
attempted to return this year was per-
miJted to do so. Bomberger in Wash
ington was beaten in the primaries.
Tenney, the winner, went down in the
general election, losing to Demo-
crat. Kaufman in Frederick, lost in
the primaries and the primary winner
openly rated a liberal, won out in the
general election against man rated
as dry" Wooden, the dry" speaker
in the House, lost his primary fight to
Snader, who defeated Warfield, one of
the "driest," in the general election.
1t is claimed that Mish in Wash
ington, GoodelI, in Frederick, or Sna-
der in Carroll are dripping-even that
they are advocates of the saloon.
They are, however, extremely indie
pendent of the Anti-Saloon League.
This is particularly true of Senator
Mish and Senator Goodell. They are
not extremists. Across the Chesa-
peake everything, no doubt, is bone
dry" but Senator Legg of Queen
Anne's is the only prohibitionist who
was permitted to return to Annapolis,
and he is said to have apologized free
ly and frankly to the voters of his
county, promising to reform. Here
in Baltimore, and in Baltimore coun-
ty, the wet" Senators had no trouble
with the voters. They ran away with
the election"

Many people haxesshort memories.
We have no doubt that hundreds in
Carroll county have forgotten that
only a few weeks ago there went out
a call all over this country for Near
East Relief The lives of hundreds
OF thousands depended, and still de-
pend, upon the generosity of Amer
lea. Did you answer the call?
Up to noon on Tuesday of this
week there had been sent through
the treasurer $3,675.85. We know
of amounts sent directly to head
quarters through other channels that
would bring the total amount. of con-
tributions to about $4,000. But this is
not by any means the whole amount
that Carroll county ought to give
We ought at least to double that
one will take little interest in these
starving mnltitudes.
The Sunday schools that answered
the appeal at Christmas nearly all
sent splendid amounts, but many OF
the schools are not yet represented
in the offerings. Then the individual
gifts were liberal from those who re-
sponded, varying from small amounts
to fifty dollars, but here again the
proportion Of the county not repre-
sented is large.
1t is not too late. Those who help
ed quickly have done much to bring
relief, hut this work must go ON all
