FREE SUNDAY AGITATORS

At a recent public meeting held in the
city of New York, three leading Protestant
clergymen advocated the opening of the
liquor saloons during certain hours on Sun
day as measure wise for the masses, and
reasonable concession to the foreign ele-
ment of that city.
Since that meeting the agitators, who
are clamoring for free Sunday in that
State have had bill offered in the Legis-
lature abolishing the legal restrictions now
in force there, and in most of the States
of the Union.
This attempt to break down the observ-
ance of the Sabbath, as a day of complete
suspension of labor, is the direct result of
the so-called liberal views of modern
preachers with advanced ideas.
The observance of Sunday as day for
the complete suspension of labor is more
important to the American workingmen
than the right to buy drink of beer or
whskey on Sunday morning; but if the
entering wedge is driven into the law in
the interest of the liquor traffic, it will he
no long time before other interests will
want the same privileges. From the
humane and sanitary point of view, aside
from any considerations Of religion, the
American Sunday is an institution which

THE special election of councilman
held in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth wards
of Baltimore on Tuesday, Seems to have
been another ''object lesson" in machine
politics, for which that city has, under
firing rule, " become notorious.
The ward heelers of the other wards OF
the city took hand in this election, fraud
and repeating being the order of the day
with forty.two arrests and one serious
shooting case.
The SIN reports it as a-red-hot-election
and quotes Mr.. William F. Stone the
chairman of the Republican City Executive
Committee as saying, that the Democratic
ward heelers were using fraud in every
precinct in the two wards, and that they
had voted several hundred men who were
not and never had been residents OF the
wards. The cheating, Mr.. Stone says,
was barefaced and wholesale, and very
little attempt was made to hide it.
With it all, in total vote in the two
wards OF 1913, the Democrats claim a
plurality of only twenty seven for their
man.
Evidently the ward heelers of Baltimore
are up to their old tricks, and do not hest
tate to resort to any method, however des-
perate, to maintain their fraudulent major
tiles.

HER WAYS WERE BAD.

There was "hi@" time at Cramps ship
yards in Philadelphia, on Monday.
The big ocean liner the st. Paul was to
be launched, and the OCCASION was gala
one.
Distinguished guests were present by
scores, and conspicuous among them vas
the scnior Senator from Maryland.
The band played, the flags fluttered, and
expectation was on tlp-toe.
But when the crucial moment came the
biz ship wouldn't bulge.
They pushed with all their force, and
steam tugs pulled with all their might.
They even turned the fire hose on her,
but the big hulk was obstinat and
would mt stir, because her rays were bad.
Did the Senator we wonder, see anything
ominous in the refusal of the big ship to he
launched?
Now if he didn't, there are plenty of SUI
pelstitious people in Maryland who do.
The Democratic party craft in this State,
is badly stuck in the mud OF fractional dis
sension and corruption.
Her rays are bad, VIGOROUSLY bad, the
people know it, and are grievously tired of
the selfish plan on which her ways are laid.
Will the senior Senator be able to launch
her successfully this fall ?
Will the Democratic machine craft glide
any smoother this year. because the senior
Senator has decided not to 20 to Europe,
but will stay at home this summer to SUI
perntend her launching?
That is the question.
Interpreted by the present temper of the
people of Maryland toward rings ina.
chines' and BOSSES, there is bad omen
in the failure of Monday.

THE OFFICE HOLDING FEVER.

While the Office holding fever is more Or
less prevalent everywhere, it seems to have
become especially virulcnt in at least one
locality in Maryland, but which will he
somewhat abated under legal ruling just
given by Attorney General Poe,
1t seems that DR.. L. A. Griffith of Upper
Marlboro is now holding three offices, being
physician to the county Jail, supervisor of
election and member of the town council of
Upper Marlboro, the 20 former positions
being offices of profit, the last one of trust
only.
Governor Brown having referred the case
of DR.. Griffith to the Attorney General for
his opinion, the latter decides that one
Office only of profit can he held. by an
now holding two offices of profit at the
same time, contrary to both the letter and
the spirit of the State Constitution.
To Dr. Gritlith's claim, that his Office OF
physician to the county JAIL is not an
Office under the State Government, nor an
Office under the laws of Maryland, Attorney
General Poe holds, that the County Com
misSiOners are constitutional officers for the
several counties, with power to appoint
officers under them for the proper admins
tration OF their duties, and does not see how
it can be successfully denied that the office
of physician to the county Jail is an Office
existing under the laws of the State, the
language of the Bill of Rights expliciting
declaring that no person shall hold at the
SINE time more than one office of profit
created by the constitution or laws of this
State"
While DR.. Griffith therefore cannot be
physician to the Jail de j",r, and Supervisor
of Elections de- jUre, at one and the same
time, there is no penalty prescribed by the
constitution for so doing and the general
rule must prevail, that the acceptance by
the incumbent of one office, of another
Office inconsistent with the first, operates
as resignation of the first; therefore if DR..
Griffith qualified as Supervisor of Election
after his qualification as Physician to the
Jail, he would be held in law to have
resigned the latter position
The probability is, that the Governor
will settle this issue, by giving DR.. Griffith
will resign.

ONE of the sensations of the next Con
gress pr omises to be the investigation of the
peculiar ways in which members of the last
Congress increased their incomes. In
addition to the sale Of farm and garden
seeds intended for distribution among their
constituents, they sold their quota of public
documents, pocketed amoney communication
for their stationery allowance, grabbed
800 a month for clerk hire and, OF
course, pocleted large sums for travelling
expenses which did not cost them anything.
The last has come to be looked upon as a
Congressional perquisite, to which usage
has given a quasi-legal sanction; but the
other little steals are more novel, and can
be punished by exposure, through not
otherwise. They will. however, fproperly
exposed, serve to make the Fifty third
Congress still more of horrible example
than it is already

THE refusal OF the Reichstag to congratu-
late Prince Bismarck on his eightieth birth
day, for which his admirers have been
making great preparations throughout the
empire, is significant Of the strength of the
Socialists and Liberals in the German
Parliment. Partisanship at Berlin must
must be running high again when the
greatest German of the century cannot
receive even the compliment due to an
octogenarian on his birthday from the
Legislators of his country. But the old lion
can stand it if the majority of the Reichstag

SECRETARY MORTON announces his in
tention to expose certain Congressman,
who sold his quota of seeds to the Agri-
cultural Department for SO. At govern
ment prices they were worth between
1925 and S245; but perhaps the Congress-
man was a good judge of seeds. At any
rate, there is some hope that the incidental
scandal may result in the abolition of that
great source of Congressional extravaganza
and corruption, the government seed shop.
