Hot stuff, seortched and burning, and
giving OFF fire which was smelled in

where was held this morning the meet.
ing OF the. Taxpayers Association of
Anne Arundel county. Some good
addresses and some that might have
done service as Socialistic propaganda
were heard in an olopodrida in which
all of the papers of the county of
Anne Arundel were later absolved

ing any OF the proceedings of the or
ganization with the exception of one,
foreign born publication, the first
Of the imm igrants desired by the or
ganization.
Although the Capital does not wish
TO butt in where angels certainly
have feared TO tread il is desirable
that its readers be given anything of
news nature. The address of MIR.
Daniel II. Randall was of a very in
teresting nature, was instructive and
aggressive He spoke OF the criminal
prosecutions of the state and the man
ner in which this cost should be cut
down. He stated that when the court
aud grand jury are in session the cost
is in the neighborhood of $50 per hour.
Ii was suggested by him that many
cases might be disposed of without
the Intervention of the grand jury are
brought TO its attention when there
is no need for so doing His address
was filed with many telling points
and facts which would not permit of
denial. Those Of the members who
are interested in sthe aims of the asso-
citation as separated from its political
aspect and the rocks on which it is
rushing headlong applauded Mr.. Ran
dali heartily.
With all the energy of n discoverer
of new truths Mr.. Henry $. Mancha,
shaking his finger in the direction
where his thoughts were oentered, said
that had the people of Glen Burnie
known of the fact that the safe legis-
lature was about TO enact law pen
sioning judges they would have ap-
peared and protested most strenuously
against any such action. lie said that
no warning had been given of the leg
, islation although the daily Capital and
Baltimore papers had daily had some
thing TO say about it.
In his address Mr.. James Cheston
spoke on the subject of divorcing poll
( tics and the county commissioners.
| He said that in his opinion the parties
| ought not be considered in the selec-
tion of candidates for the board of
county commissioners, but that their
| fitness for the office should be the first
consideration. He further added that
| the election of the commissioners
should be at time other than the
general election.
Then the piece de resistance. the
creme de menthe of the meeting, was
| the report of a committee which had
| been appointed to visit the various
newspaper offices Of the city and as
| certain what the papers intended to
| do with reference to publ fishing the
deliberations of the association.
Without having visited an Office or
inquired into what the papers were
| doing, the association loaned its aid
| and recognition to a pastime publica-
| tion of foreign vintage and interests
Every one of the members of the com
mittee admitted that they had made
no effort to find out what the other
papers intended TO do.
Judge Tydings, of the Orphans
| Court. a member of the committee,
admitted that he had fathered the
report because of the publication on
the part Of the paper Of some matters
very dear to his heart. That that
picayune paper is to establish a weekly
superatioD, he said, had nothing to
do with the decision of the committee
as represented by himself.
