RADCLIFFE WITHDRAWS FROM
RACE

The interesting news in the DEM
ocratic political camp is the with
drawal of George l.. Radcliffe from
the Democratic Gubernatorial race,
and announcement of his candidacy
for the United States Senate.
Gov. Ritchie's refusal to run for
the Senate and lack of any inclina-
ton on the part of Mayor Jackson or
DR.. Charles H. Conley to withdraw
from the Gubernatorial race, Mr..
Radcliffe said, make it impossible to
achieve the harmony for which he
and his supporters had hoped, and
ssmy continuance as a candidate for
Governor would further complicate
matters. %
Another political development was
the announcement of Herbert R.
O'Conor, States Attorney of Balti-
more city, that he backs Richie for
Governor. Mr.. O'Conor is a Demo-
cratic candidate for Attorney Gen
eral.
Mayor Howard w. Jackson, of
Baltimore, speaking before crowd
of party workers from all parts of
the Eastern Shore at Ocean City on
Sunday, treasured his friends that
the withdrawal of Mr.. Radcliffe from
the Gubernatorial race, did not alter
his intentions of sticking in the con-
test to the end.
The Mayor also took occasion to
outline the platform on which he in
tends to make the race for the nom
ination. Briefly, the platform calls
for a general reorganization of the
State governmental departments
with the sole purpose of making
them more economical and efficient
agencies"

When President Roosevelt went to
Yale university for that honorary
Doctor of Laws degree it made the
seventh honorary degree conferred
on him sence he became chief execu-
tive. He had already received de-
grees from Rutgers, Hobart, Ford
ham, Catholic university, Washing
ton college and American univer-
sity. Most of our chief executives
in the past have received degrees
from generous institutions of higher
learning. While Presidents Taft,
Coolidge, Hoover and F. D. have re-
ceived more honorary degrees than
any other presidents few of them
were entirely overlooked in this re-
spect.
So far the President and his cab
met have accepted 20 honorary de-
grees this year, which is believed to
be a record. Secretary of State
Hull got five, Secretary of Interior
Ickes four, Attorney General Cum
mings three, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace and Secretary of Labor
Perkins two each, and one each to
Secretary of War Dern and Secre-
tary of Commerce Roper.

Congress is to be asked for $780,
100000 for the schools next year by
the National Education Association,
whose seventy-second annual con-
vention ended in Washington on
Friday.
The recommendation that the as
sociation work for a congressional
appropriation of $500, 100000 to be
distributed to all school districts
according to daily average attend
ance and the lack of available tax
resources" was coupled with the
statement that "the National Educa-
ton Association maintains that a
Government that can appropriate
nearly $4,000 100000 annually for
military and naval purposes should
make adequate provision for the
support of public education"

NRA ANNIVERSARY

Recently birthday party OF
great national Importance occurred
1t marked the first anniversary OF
the NRA-the most extraordinary
bureau ever created by the Federal
government.
Birthday greetings" were of two
kinds. On the one hand, NRA ex-
ecutives praised the bureau to the
skies, said that it had started us
well on the road to recovery, would
take us all the way before long.
On the other hand, various critics
said that the NRA represented the
downfall of democracy, that 1t
meant we were in for either fascism
or communism, that it had abrogat-
ed every major provision of the
Constitution.
Neither of these viewpoints is in
dicative of the stand the American
people will take when they finally
express an opinion. They know
the NRA has done fine things-such
as eliminating sweat shops and child
labor, and giving labor better
break so far as wages, hours and
working conditions are concerned.
They know it has likewise done
things which are not so good-such
as setting itself up as car over
routine business matters, about
which situation they are confused.
Most commentators are of the
opinion that the main trouble with
the NRA is that it grew too fast and
tried to cover too much territory.
In the beginning, it was principally
an arbiter of working conditions
it laid down minimum wage and
maximum hours-o f-work rulings.
Then it began to branch out into
very different fields. 1t made rul-
ings concerning such routine bust
ness matters as size and time OF
credits. 1t fixed prices-at the ex-
pense of the" consuming public, &C
cording to the various barrow re-
ports. 1t became the executive
head of every major industry, and
officers and owners of companies and
corporations found themselves hog
tied at every turn. They couldn't
make move without authorization
from Washington.
The powers-that-be in Washing
ton, as a matter of fact, have recog-
nized this. The NRA is giving up
price-fxing. 1t is about to reduce
the number of codes in effect by 70
or 80 per cent. 1t is becoming
much less arbitrary in its actions.
In brief, it looks as if the NRA in
the future will be mainly concerned
with wages and hours and working
conditions, as was it's initial pur-
pose.

PROTECT THE BIRDS AND SAVE
YOUR CROPS

The agriculturists of our state
can render great assistance in the
conservation of wildlife, not only by
leaving uncut areas which furnish
nesting sites during the spring and
early summer months but from now
until July 18th, they can render val
their property bird feed patch.
Practically every farmer or small
land owner of our state has a small
piece of land which could be used to
great advantage for the bird feed
patch. The expense is very small
and as 909o- of the diet of the ma
jority of the birds is obnoxious weed
seeds and insect life, the attraction
of the birds to your property greatly
benefits you in deriving profitable
investment from their presence,
thereby insuring control of pests.
If you will plant strips of buck
wheat, cowpeas. black-eyed peas,
sorghum, kafir corn or millet, at
the outer edges of your corn at the
last working, when corn is laid by,
and leave this stand for cover and
feed during the coming fall and
winter, great benefit will be de-
rived. Or, we recommend planting
IF oDonuorfor fO Ono-half nero
patches of the herein mentioned
seeds. These small areas could be
planted near wooded areas, if pos
sible; if not, they are suitable at any
point of your farm.
Guard Against Fires
We also at this time call special
attention to the seriousness of the
red menace. Thousands of acres of
forest areas are burned annually
and in the majority of cases thru
lighted cigarette or cigar stump or
a burning match into the sere vege-
tation, starting serious fires.
We earnestly request the general
public to be very careful and assist
us in preventing forest fires wher-
ever possible, as the destruction of
cover is very serious menace to
wildlife and forest fires are very
destructive not only to ground
nesting and tree-nesting birds and
animals, but to the land itself.

INCREASE REPORTED IN FARM
BUREAU MEMBERSHIP
Maryland Shows 500 Gain In Six
MOnths-Nation-Wi In
crease $50

crease $50
A sharp upturn in interest Tin the
Farm Bureau among farmers of
Maryland and twenty-one other
states has taken place in the first six
months of 1894. G. E. Wise, Jr.,
Secretary of the Maryland Farm Blu
reau Federation, reports a State
membership gain of fifty per cent
during the first six months of this
year. Figures just released by
American Farm Bureau headquar-
tiers in Chicago show that member
ship throughout the United States
was IS 20 greater during the first six
months of 1884 than during the cor
responding period of 1893. Twenty
two states showed an increase over
last year They are Arkansas, Cal
ifornia, Colorado, Connecticut, Illi-
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Missouri, Nevada, New Hamp-
shire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvan-
ia, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin,
Wyoming.
Audit of the Federation's books
shows the national organization to
be in excellent financial condition,
having received more income than
last year and having reduced ex
penses drastically.
Maryland Meetings Planned
A series of Farm Bureau meetings
will be held in fourteen counties of
Maryland beginning July 10 and
ending August rs. The meetings
will be held in the following coun-
ties: Dorchester, Talbot, Worcester,
Caroline, Montgomery, Charles, Bal
timore, Carroll, Howard, Kent,
Cecil, Queen Anne, Wicomico and
Washington.
Speakers will be M. d. Lincoln,
Executive Secretary of the Ohio
Farm Bureau Federation and mem
Der of the national Farm Board of
Directors; DR.. T. B. Symons, Direc-
tor of Extension Service of the Uni
versity of Maryland, and Charles E.
Wise, Jr, Secretary, Maryland Farm
Bureau Federation.
Wool Pool Grows
The 1884 Maryland Farm Bureau
Wool Pool is reported far ahead of
last year, both in total pounds and
number of shippers. AS of July /,
1898, the Bureau had received 49,
500 pounds of wool from 222 grow
ers.
On July 1 of this year slightly
newals and re-interviews for those
more than 800 shippers had turned
over $1,000 pounds of wool to the
Maryland Farm Bureau pool. Bet
ter prcies obtained by marketing
wool through the Farm Bureau pool
last season is given as the reason for
this years substantial increase in |
use of the Bureau marketing facili-
ties.

There is a growing feeling on the
part of those in a position to know
the facts that government farm re-
lief measures have made their most
conspicuous successes when they
have sought to help the farmer help
himself-and have come nearest to
failure when they have simply tried
to change condition through leg
islative, judicial or executive fiat.
It's an old axiom that doing a
thing for person isn't nearly SO
worthwhile as showing him how to
do it on his own hook, and that is
as true of agriculture as anything
else.

ELECTRICAL WARFARE
By Lucy Meacham Thurston

A new term, devasting one.
The World War and discussion at
the disarmament conference made
the public somewhat familiar with
the terrors of chemical warfare and
those of meteorological and accounts
of new discoveries in chemical lab
oratories have added to the horrors,
but now electrical warfare.
The following is a condensation of
what Stuart Chase says of this in his
book just published on the Economy
of Abundance: Science is ready to
produce a variety of new and de-
vastating weapons, true; but there
is just chance that it may do more
1t may end war forever. Major
General j. F. C. Fuller of England
is my authority. Here, he says are
200 airplanes attacking great city.
The defense is excellent, and the
pilots dare not come too close.
why not send forward over that
city 200 unnamed and partially
armored planes wirelessly controlled
by ten occupied ones flying at dis
lance from them or at high alti-
tude above them? Each of these
200 machines would be nothing
more than flying projectile- a
true aerial torpedo-which will ex-
plode on impact with the ground, or
be exploded by wireless wave re-
leased by the airmen directing it.
If an electrical wave can control or
direct an unnamed airplane-as We
know it can, it can direct and con.
troll an unnamed gun, or tank or
submarine or any other weapon,
static or mobile"
The electric power is dawning in
fields without soldiers, naval engage
ments without sailors and aerial
bombardments without pilots. Most
of the casualties accordingly will be
in the ranks of civilians. Wreaths
will be laid on the tomb of the I'm
known observation-disclosures to
be one of two hundred at Broadway
and 18th Street on the night of the
second aerial attack Is it too much
to hope that then-if only then
the civilian population will fatty re-
fuse to support any government
which declares war? This argu-
ment, know, has been raised with
each Improvement in offensive tech
nique. War will become too hor-
rible; it will end war;" But elec-
trical warfare shows a qualitative
difference. Instead of a minority
actively fighting while a compare
tivs,y safe majority applauds we
shall have sin smaller minority
lighting with remote controls, and SC
comparatively safe, while a still
larger majority is gassed, bombed
and tremendously butchered.
Coal power, states Stuart Chase,
produced the Monitor and the Mer-
rimac, changed navies from wood to
iron, increases size of armies by put
ting railroads behind them. Oil
power produced airplanes, tanks,
motorized armies. The laboratory
added to war horrors with gases
and meteorological possibilities.
None seem so altogether devastating
as electrical warfare may prove.
Whilst in mechanical and chemical
warfare see possible fertilizers Of
war;" Major Fuller is quoted. "in
electrical science I see its possible

In a recent article in the New
