MD. DRYS AFTER
MAN FOR SENATE

WASHINGTON. Aug. 70 UNITED
Press.-Maryland drys. alarmed at
the large number Of announced
wet candidates in the state. are
beating the bushes for a Senatorial
candidate TO contest for the Repub-
lican nomination with the two vets
who are already in the running.
William Tyler Page. clerk OF the
House OF Representatives, is being
talked OF in this connection. Page.
some time ago. announced himself
as a Senatorial candidate. Thus far
however. the contest has been be-
tween Senator Joseph I. France
and John w. Garrett. well known
diplomat.
Both these candidates have de-
clared for the vets. Garrett as fav-
oring light wines and beer. and
France for repeal OF the 18th
and drastic modihca-
tIon of the Vostead law.
Narylanders are pointing with
pride 10 the fact that their State
has the unique distinction this year
of havig every candidate squarely
on record on the wet and dry issue.
Page was born in Maryland but,
according to his own statement in
the Congressional directory. was
appointed page in the clerk 8
office of the House, December 1s'
1881. and has since been continu-
ously in the service OF the House
Of Representative. Thus Page Is
scarcely known In Maryland ana
don't give him a chance
for the nomination.

THE SUPREME COURT CHANGE.

From time to time intimations have been made of resignations from the bench of the United States supreme Dourt. This Is not a court where an age limit terminates the service of a justice who is able to serve, but where he remains until death or resignation take him away, but in view of his age there has been no expectation that Jus tice Clarke would be the next one to lay down the duties of that important court. While not the youngest in years he is among them and there was reason to believe that he would be able to serve for many years to come, but in view of his retirement that he may get away from the routine of such a high position and devote himself to other en- deavors while he is so disposed there is created the opportunity for President Harding to name to the vacancy ex- Senator George H. Sutherland of Utah whose name has been consistently men, toned in connection with such an ap- pointment
 At the time Chief Justice Taft was named to the supreme court of the United States, Senator Sutherland was among those prominently mentioned as a possible selection because of his rec ognized qualifications for the position and it has been known, that President Harding was favorably inclined to gfv. ing the country the benefit of his ser. vices on the bench of the highest court in the land. He is a man Of a different type than Justice Clarke and one 1T whom the president has placed grea confidence as an adviser. Likewise ht has been employed by the administra ton in the rendering of important ser vices involving foreign countries.
 Being a man of SO years, five year. the juinor of Justice Clarke, the new justice has reason to expect man, years in which to serve his country il sne of the highest positions to which h could be called. His choice for tn place is by no means surprise, evel .hough the resignation of Justice Clark Is bound to be so regarded.

Elliott, of New York. editor of The Methodist Review. delivered an address at the W1llimantic camp meeting in which he made disparaging and incor- rect statements concerning Christian Science. Kindly permit me to reply.
 Dr. Elliott was reported as saving: Christian Science complacently teaches that the only thing to live for is to be we'll. He intimated that prayer in Christian Science is selfishly limited to healing the sick. While 1t Is true thar through Christian Science thousands have been healed of physical ills, it by no means follows that physical health
 IS the greatest blessing that Christian Science confers. Christian Science re- forms the sinner and heals the sick be- cause it gives better understanding of God: "Who forgiveth all thine iniqui- ties; who heaieth all thy diseases" This better understanding of God and of man, Gods image and likeness is the priceless blessing which Christian Science offers to the world. Christian Science makes it quite clear that 'the ! only thing to live for is to do ths will of God.
 Dr. Elliott is credited with having said also: Refined superficial optimism like Christian Science, may be very
 comfortable, but 1t is really only shut | ting your eyes to the miseres of man kind" Christian Scientists are opti- mistic, not because they shut their eye.
 to the miseries of mankind, but becaus, | they have found the way by which man
 kind may be freed from the miseries O ! mortal existence

there were ss1 ahlps which used 1t and that there werA over sl,oo0,ooo collect ed therefrom in tolls, This of course indicates that those vessels were glad to pay the toll for the advantages gain ed by the use of the canal, and that 1t would have cost them more had they gone by the only other route. The in come for August was large and 1t ia not maintained throughout the year but use of the canal is steadily increasing and there are good reasons for anticf- pating that 1t will not be long before the August tolls will be approached in the other months, or the entire year show an average equivalent thereto.
