ARMENlA---WHAT MIGHT HAVE

No wonder the world thinks this
country would take mandate for
Armenia, Human suffering and hu-

world to believe that Armenia is Of all

METHOD DISCOVERED
FOR CONTROLLING
SUMMER DISEASE
Physicians Advising Their Patients
to Take Two.Grain Doses OF
CaIomel.

Physicians are now advising their
patients to begin early in the spring
taking occasional two-grain doses OF
calomel to keep the liver active and
the system pure and clean. Calomel
not only stimulates the flow OF bile
hut also acts as an intestine anti
septic. This gives the system the
needed power to resist contagious dis

The safest and best way to take
calomel is in Axon Liver Tablets.

vegetable ingredients which act as a

WHAT SENATOR SMITH DID
FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Senator John Walter Smith has
always manifested the deepest solca'
tude for the Public Schools and puotc
education In 1896 and before tnas
time the working people OF Maryiano'
and the farmers, did not have as
much money as they have TO-DAY.
Senator Smith found that many poor
people were keeping their children
from school, and that these children
were being denied an education De-
cause their parents had no money to
buy school books and were too PROUD
and self-respecting to go as paupers
to ask for the books. He thought that
all the children Of the State, rich OF
poor, white and colored, should nave
an equal opportunity to get an edu'
cation and equip themselves for max
ing a living. He believed that the
school should be free in fact a. well
as in name, and they could not be
really free schools unless children
could attend them without cost. He.
therefore, prepared q bill at the ses.
sion of the General Assembly in 1895.
and introduced 1t into the Senate ap-
propriating s150,000 year for the
purchase of school books, for the free
use of all the pupils in the public
schools, rich and poor alike. SO that
all should be equal and that there
should be no class distinctions. and
that no child should be deprived OF an
education because its parents were
unable to buy books.
Senator Smiths strong personal
influence, and the justice OF his
cause prevailed ans his bill was en-,
acted into law as Chapter 1875 OF the
Acts of 1896 When he introduced
this bill Senator Smith made a pow
erful speech which carried conviction
to the Senate.
Senator Smiths law required the
various Boards of School Commis-
sioners to purchase the necessary
school books and to furnish them free
of cost to all pupils in he public
schools. The act requires the School
Commissioners to furnish annually to
the State Board Of Education the title.
the name of the publisher, and the
net price paid for each text book pur-
chased.

pie Of Maryland whose children at

did Q fae service for the pubic
schools in taking them out OF politics

"REMINISCENCES
WRITTEN FOR THE EkoUiRERl

Since the publication of the secend Of
this series of articles, friend has
called my attention to the fact that
this town was one of the very first
places in the country where theatrical
performances were held. The old As
sembly Room which | have described
as being in state of dilapidation sixty
wears ago, was undoubtedly used as
theater also as early as the middle of
the 18th century, or many years be-
fore the Revolutionary War. English
troupes which appeared in Boston,
New York and Philadelphia, came to
Annapolis and then to this town. Of
this fact there are existing records.
In the Maryland Gazette, published
at Annapolis on June Is, 1850, may be
read this advertisement, reproduced
just as it was printed:
"By Permission of His Honor, the
President, at the New Theatre in
Annapolis by Company of Come.
dians on Monday, being the 22nd of
this instant, will be performed the

ingIhere, where they intend to play
as long as they meet with encour-
agement, and so on to PiscataWay,
and Port Tobacco, and they hope to
give satisfaction to the Gentlemen
and Ladies that will favor them
with their company
Tt is hard to realize that our town
was prosperous and well-known nearly
two hundred years ago. Even at that
early day it had been the County Seat
for more than fifty years, and was one
of the places where the populace from
the rich plantations of Southern Mary
land assembled to witness races and
attend theatrical entertainments.

THE LEAGUE IN ACT ION

Critics of the League of Ma
tions have taken to themselves
much credit for discovering that
the League is Ineffective in pre-
venting war, says the Baltimore
Sun. Disregarding the activity
of the League in providing the
machinery for the adjudication
of disputes and in removing
many of the causes Of. friction
between nations which remain
as a necessary result of the Great
War, they insist that the League
shall stand or fall by its success
or failure as a mediator between
the Poles and the Russians.
The League has suffered
through lack of publicity. " The
Russo-Polish skirmishes and
battles have been news" but
the conferences of the League
and their findings, its permanent
mandates commission, its plans
for disarmament and the use of
the economic blockade" its
work in stabilizing the finances
of the world, its successful ef-
forts to safeguard the health of
the world from the onslaughts
of the typhus epidemic in Eas-
tern Europe all of these have
failed of notice because they do
not lend themselves to descrip-
tion by the ordinary news gath
erer. Real progress is not easy,
and it is sometimes, uninterest-
ing. The Russo-Polish war is
interesting but it must not be
allowed to discredit the progress
which the other countries of the
world, except the Central Pow
ers, Mexico and the United States
have made through their men,
bership in the League of Nations.
Prevention of specific wars, as
distinguished from war in gener-
al is important, and the members
of the League of Nations are to
be congratulated that, through
their efforts, Sweden and Fin
land are not fighting, and that
the Polish-Lithunian crisis has
been peacefully terminated.
The dispute between Sweden and
Finland concerning the owner
ship of the Aland Islands near
ly famed into warfare, and only
those who know the warmth of
feeling which these two coun-
tries displayed can appreciate the
triumph of the League in subs
tituting reason for emotion as a
guide to the solution of the con-
troversy. The Poles a~d Lith-
unians were, a few days ago,
engaged in actual warfare about
a disputed boundary, and yet the
League was successful again in
substituting reason for emotion
even after force had been invok-
ed. These results of the Lea
gue's Intervention are, perhaps
an unwelcome surprise to those
who believe the League to be in
effective in practical" m alters,
but they merely fulfill the hopes
and expectations of those who
know the Leagues strength.
One must suppose that yester-
days critics of the ineffective"
League are today its warmest
supporters.
