A Tramp's Lecture.

a tramp asked for drink in sa-
loon. The request was granted, and
when in the act of drinking the prof
fered beverage, one OF the young men
present exclaimed:
stop, make us a speech. It is
poor liquor that doesn't unloosen a
mans tongue
The tramp hastily swallowed down
the drink, and as the rich, liquor
coursed through his blood, he
Strengthened himself and stood before

ARBITRATION.

The day is fast approaching when
all nations will settle their disputes
by arbitration. War should be no
more resorted TO by civilized nations
to settle difficulties than individuals.
Nations are but made up Of indiyii-
uals, and it should not be any longer
necessary or legitimate for nations to
draw the deadly weapon upon anOth-
er than an individual is to be permit
ted to take from his pocket a deadly
weapon and shoot down his enemy re
gardess of law or order. No better
illustration has been seen OF the nee
essity OF arbitration than the great
and cruel war between Japan and
Russia, which has been waging for
nearly two wears. Thousands of good
men have been killed on both sides
and tens of thousands Of children left
fatherless with only a widowed moth
er to assume the responsibility Of
rearing them to maturity. War is
cruel and barbaric;iit is force pitted
against force with reason dethroned.
1t is only carrying out Of the princi-
pie or the survival of the fittest by
brute force How quickly do the Of
( ficers of the law arrest and imprison
/ an individual who disobeys tie laws
of the land. If the individual at
tempts 10 settle a difficulty with his
neighbor by force the strong arm Of
! the law steps in and metes out to the
offender a Just and at the same time
a humane punishment How long
| the war between Japan and Russia
would have continued no man can
tell, if the President had not thrown
all his power and influence between
/ the breach He saw the situation
and with his greatness of character
manliuess and Christian spirit he de-
termined to let nothing prevent the
two nations being brought together
in order that one of the bloOdiest wars
in this or any other century of the
worlds history might be ended. His
one purpose was to bring that great
destruction of human life to a close,
and he has succeeded to the great as
constituent and wonder of the entire
civilized world. Whilst of course you
cannot punish nations as individuals
when resOrting to war there should
be no reason why there ought not to
be an effort made by all intelligent
nations to submit questions of dis
pute to a national board of arbitra-
ton composed of representatives from
every world power, all agreeing to
submit their disputes to that board
for its decision and abide by its con
clusion. What saving of life and
property if the matters in dispute
could have been in the beginning
submitted to arbitration and settled
in that way. The President of the
United States, however, has by his
most successful efforts in behalf of
both terminated war that will &C
down in history as one of the blood
lest ever fought. His name will be
written and mentioned by future gen
erations as the greatest statesman
this country or the world at large has
ever produced.

THE DANGER OF INDIFFERENCE.
The political history of Mary
land shows that when questions
and not men alone have been sub
mitted to the voters for approval
or rejection many of the electors
have permitted the opportunity to
express their sentiments to go by
default, simply ignoring the places
on their ballots where they might
and should register their wills.
The vote on constitutional
amendments has uniformly fallen
considerably short of that for the
candidates on the various tickets.
Similarly, when in Baltimore city
and in the various counties the
ratification Of loans or other mat
tiers have been submitted to the
people along with candidates, the
sum Of the votes "for" and
against" the measures has been
far below the aggregate for the
leading candidates on the opposing
tickets or the total vote cast. 1t
is believed that this occurs be.
cause the voters in many cases
neglect to study the questions in
advance and, when the time comes
to express their sentiments, are all
unready and at sea.
This popularity of the eiecto-
rate is one which should be care
fully considered by the political
leaders and party organizers this
fall. The discussion Of the pro-
posed DISTINGUISHING amendment
has been SO thorough, so volum-
nous, and has been carried on so
long that Que would be justified
in thinking that every man, wom-
an and child of school age in the
State thoroughly understood its
object. if not all of its provisions
But, strange as it may seem, there
are many who at this late day
claim that they do not understand
it, and there are many more who,
it is feared, though opposed to
the iniquitous scheme, will neg
lect to inform themselves how to
record their opposition in an effec-
tive manner. Some, being oppos-
ed to it, may really cast half a
vote for it by failing to vote for it,
thinking that the withholding of
their approval is all that is neces-
sary.
If ever sample ballots were of
any use they will be most impor-
tant and necessary this fall. 1t
will not do to assume that because
the great mass of intelligent sen
timent in both the great parties,
and the smaller parties as we'll
seem to be against the measure it
is beaten at the start, and that no
particular effort need be made to
defeat it. Every voter should
have it impressed upon him that
if he wishes to bury both the
scheme and the schemers in obliv
ion, he should, without fail, place
plain and legible oss-mark ii
the square on his ballot opposite
the words:

UNITE FOR CHARITY WORK
Mayor Jones Wants All Organizations
to Get Together. 80. |

Thru the interest taken by Mayor
Jones, plans are under way to increase
the power and scope Of the charity work
in the city by causing closer affiation
of all the charitable organizations It
is realized that the accurate records Of
the Associated Charities of families
and cases will be of great value to the
poor department and it is designed to
enlarge their resources by securing
larger Offices and if possible more out
side workers. Just where the new
Offices will be is not yet announced.
The organizations that now issue re-
ports Of the work carried on and sub
nit them. to the Associated Charities
are the Hebrew, Ladies' Aid society,
the Bethany home, the Union City Mis-
sion, the Volunteers Of America, the
Humane society, and close touch is kept
with the Bethel and Unity settlements.
"The increased scope of the Asso-
ciated Charities, said E. D. Solen-
berger this morning, "will be especially
felt in medical relief. We have the
names Of thirty well-known physicians
who will give us their aid. As they
live in all parts Of the city this will
mean much time saved for the city ply
sicians, who are already overworked.
The physicians will give their services
and the charitable organizations will
furnish the necessary medicines and
the visiting nurses will lend all possible

Premier Combes Retirement,

Dir. Combes, the French premier, made
such record Of decreasing majorities in
the French chamber of deputies on
Saturday, that he has announced his
purpose of retiring from the arena,
where he has held radical majority of
from 70 to- over 100 since June, 1902.
He succeeded the ministry Of. the late
M. Waldeck-Rousseau, radical also, but
not as extreme as the Combes ministry,
and in power for four years.
During the last ten years France has
had a radical cabinet, under M. Bour-
geois, which lasted less than a year and
was succeeded by a moderate republican
administration under M. Meline, which,
after less than two years, was defeated
and was followed by the radical min

Mayor Jones' campaign promise has
becomea reality and hereafter the busi-

nues will be cleaned from the bridge to

Among these uptown resorts to be
notified was the notorious place at First

COON SONGS IN FRENCH
How Josephine SabeI Caught the Fancy Q
Paris.

Paris.
Partly because she knows how to sing
coon" songs in French, Josephine Sabel
returns to Paris this fall for a two years
stay. Miss Sabel, who is a native Of Bos
ton and is OF French ancestry, was ia
nous in this country for. her singing of
Dixie songs and execution of coon
steps before she went to Europe. Miss
Sabel, who is at the Orpheum this week,
says:
1.-The attitude of Parisians toward COL
ored people. or Africans, as they call them,
is decidedly different from ours. The col
or line is not drawn In Paris, and several
teams of colored performers have gone
abroad and made their fortunes. The
coon song Is unusually popular with
Partisan audiences.
1T was at the ambassadors on the
Champs Elysees last spring that I con-
ceived the idea Of doing some of my
American coon songs in French. Rem
dering darkey idioms' into French was no
easy task, either. Altho am as much at
home in French as in English, I had to
call to my assistance the veteran leader
at the ambassadors and together we put
into. French dialect such treasures as
