sires the nomination, he can have it
without any interference whatever.
The visit of the Senator to Annapolis
on Tuesday gave color to the reports
that he is not averse to a reelection,
although friends Of State Treasurer

say that the former Senator will back

The session, up to the present time
has been absolutely free from all par
tisan politics. There has been no d.
vision on party lines on any matter
before either House, and no one
would be able to tell whether men,
Der of either House was republican
or a democrat. From anything that
has happened here in debate or IL
committee action the members have,
in the main, been unusually atten
tive to business, and the usual accu-
sations of boodling, and lobby cor
ruption which have been prevalent in
all former sessions, have been nota-
bly, absent. The lobby has been lit
orally STAYED out, and the old-time
statesmen of the third House, arc
here no more. The creation of the
Public Service Commission, has TAX

mer sessions brought the corporations

the old days of the corrupt lobby,

passage of the anti-race track bill.

LATEST NEWS FROM
THE STATE CAPITOL
Two Important Measures Soon To
Come Up In Senate. Ex-senator
Smith Visits Annapolis.

The strenuous fight which result
ed in the passage of the prohibition
enforcement bill in the House of Del
egates last week, has not been re-
moved, openly at any rate, now' that
the bill is in the Committee of the
Senate. Both sides are apparently
resting this week, making prepare
rations for a renewal of the contest
in the upper House next week. At
the present time the result appears
in dubt. Several of the Senators have
Lot announced their position on the
bill, and efforts are being made by
both the drys and the vets to gain
these apparently doubtful Senators,
on whose action the fate of the bill
will rest. All sorts of reports are in
circulation, and both sides are claim
ing majority of the number. AS In
the House, the fight will be for and
against an amendment providing for
referendum, to be voted upon by
the people of the State at the Con-
gressional election next fall.
The Anti-race track bill, is also in
doubt. The measure received a large
majority in the House, where no seri-
Gus fight was made against it. The
indications are, however, that a Wig
orous contest will be made to prevent
the passage of the bill in the Senate,
with the result in doubt. Owing to
the fact that the passage of the bill
will reduce the revenues of the State
Treasury more than three quarters of
million dollars a year, several of
the Senators who would otherwise be
il. favor of the bill, are doubtful as
to the expediency of its passage at
the present time. The chances are
that it will not be taken up until af-
ter the enforcement bill is disposed
of, which will probably be at least
two weeks hence. In the meantime,
the budget bills, providing for the
appropriation for the next two years,
will probably be held up until after
the anti-race track measure is set
tied, owing to the fact that its enact
ment will necessarily bring about
scaling down of all appropriations in
order to meet the deficiency, caused
by the loss of the large amount de-
rived from the tax on the race tracks.
Politicians, and the prospective
candidates to be voted for in the
coming fall, are becoming more and
more subjects for discussion every
day, as the session nears it's close.
The problem as to who will be the
candidates to be voted on in the nom
mating primaries in September, en-
gross the most of the attention of
the situation of the statesmen among
the members of both Houses, as we'll
as the many visitors of prominence
from all sections of the State. Day
by day the impression is gaining
ground, that Governor Richie will be
in the field for the nomination for
the Senatorship, when the final en-
tries are made and that he may have
as his competition either former
Senator John Walter Smith, Mr.. S.
X. Dennis, or State Senator Orlando
Harrison. Not few people believe
that in the end, Senator Smith will
be forced to enter the contest for the
nomination, in order to prevent a
serious primary fight in the demo-
cratic party for it is the general inn

PUR|M TO Be OBSERVED
BY JEWISH PEOPLE HERE

The mirthful feast of Purim will
be celebrated this year on. Monday
evening, March IA. with a special
service in the synagog. While a
holiday of minor character. it's use
of the scroll of Esther has endeared
the festival to the Jewish people
who make it an occasion for popu-
lar rejoicing.
The services for this festival are
wholly concerned with the reading
of the story of Esther, which, from
time to time, assumed a more pro-
phetic character and forevisioned, in
part, the checkered career of the
Jews.
On this day the Jewish people re-
member the miraculous redemption
wrought for their ancestors by the
loyalty and devotion of Mordecai.
uncle of Queen Esther, whose fidel-
ity to his king and country made
possible the rescue of the king from
the hands of plotters.
The particular element in the
Book of Esther that appeals to the
fancy and emotion of the Jewish
people is the overthrow of Hannah.
a~rch-enemy of the Jew, who had
plotted to destroy all the Jewish
people throughout the Persian EN-
pire. The 18th day of the 18th
mOntn dccOrul1S 10 the f1eDIeW
calendar, was set aside for this ter
rible progrom. His bloody designs
would have been executed had not
the couage of Queen Esther, the
Jewess selected by Ahasuerus. King
of Persia, for his wife, and Morde-
cal her uncle, frustrated Humans
murderous intentions and brought,
them to nought.
Throughout all the centuries the
Jewish people have interpreted the
narratives compiled in the Book of
Esther. in the light of their W
eventfur caree 1t seem to them
that the destiny of Esther and her
people in the realm of Persia was
typical of those events that befell
the Jews in all other periods. AS
they were saved then, so would they
be rescued in all times of peril.
Hence they confidently trusted in
the God of their fathers who was
the rock of their refuge whenever
men rose up against them. Under
His guidance they have waged an
age-long combat against error and
malice to the end that persecution
and injustice might everywhere be
uprooted. Linked with this faith
was the hope that here on earth,
the footstool of God. men and wo-
men from all countries and nations
would pay homage to God alone as
their sole Ruler,

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Oh We Tablets-the SUBJ
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver Is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result of DIR.
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does. but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold of the trouble and quickly correct
it. Why cure the liver at the expense of
the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
liquids. 1t is best not to take calomel,
