Municipal Ownership.

Mayor Timanus in discussing the result
of the election in Chicago last Tuesday
stated to The Star correspondent that a
wave of municipal ownership advocacy IS
now sweeping over the whole country. Its
effect is being felt in Baltimore he con-
tinued The first step has already been
taken in the matter of the city DOCKS
which will be operated and leased by the
municipality.
Il am trihe afraid of municipal owner
ship only for one reaSOn-that 1t puts TOO
much power in the hands of one political
party. For instance, suppose the party In
power when the city secured control of The
lighting and transportation facilities should
decide to use the giving out of positions
as political capital. The influence the party
in power could exert would be something
enormous.
AT present I think the best and safest
to lighting facilities. The city. you know,
is empowered to proceed with the erection
of lighting plant. We are therefore in
a position to say to the corpora tons: If
you do not give US light as cheaply as we
can make il ourselves we will go into the
business And what has been the result
in this city? The citys lighting expenses
have been reduced almost one-half. If
this club works so well in one instance, why
not with the other public facilities.
What every city wants, said the mayor
in conclusion. is the right to do as we
please in such cases. We want to have
ity in such a position that the municipality
can do the debating and not be compelled
to submit to terms laid down by monopo-
lies cOmbnat tons.

Democrats Bolt Amendment.

The first organized opposition within the
ranks of the democratic party to the pro-
posed constitutional amendment intended
to disfranchise n considerable number of
voters developed this week. The Crescent
Club, for years a formidable opponent of
the regular democratic organization, has
appointed q committee to formulate and
promulgate objections to the amendment,
as a reply to the statement issued recently
by State Chairman Murray Nandlver, in
which all party men were urged to stand
together and vote for the passage of the
measure.
prominent member of the Crescent
Club in discussing the amendment said:
"Our club desires at this early date to go
on record as opposed to this Ubiquitous
measure The republicans are in a happy
frame of mind and for a good reason.
They know that the people of Maryland
will not only defeat this scheme of dis
franchsement, but will elect a legislature
pledged to a repeal of the monstrous law
which made the last election in Maryland
a national well a state disgrace, and
created the widespread impression that
this commonwealth was powerless to give
its people a suffrage worthy of its name"

Special Dispatch TO The Sunday Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, April S.-The most
important municipal campaign In the his
tory Of Baltimore is now in full swing.
1t involves question of vital Importance
to the city. inasmuch as the voters will
decide on May next whether the ordi-
nances appropriating $13,00o.0J0 for sew
erage system, annex improvements and
parks extension shall be rejected or APP
proved. The campaign presents an I'M
usual feature. Its conduct is in the hands
of Representative Frank Wachter, a re-
publican, and Mr.. Frank A. Furst demo-
crat. Both gentlemen are well-known poll
ticians, and despite their different party
affiliations working in harmony toward
one end-the education of the plebiscite to
the urgent necessity for the passage of
the loan ordinances.
And this non-partisan effort is not con-
fined to the progressive leaders of the two
parties, but on the huStngs each night are
to be found men who have held aloof from
all previous campaigns men who represent
the bone and sinew of Baltimores COM
mercial and financial life. That such
strenuous and thorough campaign is being
conducted is due to the fact that ring
politicians are said to be opposed to the
loans because under the proposed plans
for expanding the millions there would he
little if any graft for them.
While these ring politicians do not
openly oppose the passage of the loan or
dinances, they are resorting to devious
methods to encompass their defeat at the
polls next month For instance, an anony-
nous circular has been issued and gem
orally distributed throughout the city set
ting forth that if the loan ordinances are
passed it will result in the addition of 81
cents to the tax rate, charge for the use
of the sewers and an increase of 10 per
cent in house rents The assertion Is also
made that the burden of the sewer tax
will fall on the small house owner. These
arguments, while fallacious. are having an
effect among a certain class, and 1t is to
combat and refute these statements that
the campaign of education is being con-
Quoted.

A Native of Fairfax.

Mr.. Willard was born in Fairfax county,
Virginia His father was Joseph c. Willard
and his mother Miss Antonio Ford of Fair
fax county. Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, the noted
confederate cavalry chieftain, was great
friend of Mrs. Wizards family, and for her
bravery and courage had her commissioned
a lieutenant of cavalry in the confederate
army. Because of her outspOken loyalty to
the south she, with other ladies of Fairfax,
was brought to Washington and confined
for a period in the Old Capitol prison.
Mrs. Willard died a few years after her
marriage, leaving her son to the care of her
sister in Fairfax county.
Mr.. Willard lived the free, untrammeled
existence of a country boy, popular with his
playmates and a leader in all athletic sports
He matriculated at the Episcopal High
School, and while there won the esteem of
his professors and the regard and affection
of his fellow-students. He later graduated
at the Virginia Military Institute, 1.-The West
Point of the south with high honOrs At
terward he studied law at the venerable
University of Virginia, and became mem
Der of the bar of his state.

Entered Politics.

Almost Immediately on his return from
college to his native county he was unani-
mously nominated for the legislature, and
so carefully and cOnscientously did he look
after the interests of his constituents that
he was returned without opposition.
When President Mckinley called for VOL
unteers upon the breaking out of the war
with Spain Mr.. Willard at once offered his
services to the governor of Virginia, and
upon being commissioned captain organized
and equipped at his own expense a COM
pany of infantry. His command was mus
tered in as Company |, Sd Virginia Volun-
teers. Capt. Willard proved himself a most
able officer and won the regard and affec-
ton of his men by his kindness and consid-
Grafton for them. Upon one occasion, when
a member of his company quite i'll and
while the other officers of the regiment were
attending ball given in their honor, he re-
mained at the sick mans bedside, caring for
him as tenderly as a woman. \ number
of instances might be cited to show how
thoroughly he made his mems interests his
own, and how literally he contributed to
their comfort and welfare. Upon being mus
tered out the enlisted men of his company
and regiment presented him with a hand
some sword as a tribute of their sincere re-
spect and affection. Though he never had
an opportunity to lead his men on the field
of battle he won their hearts and bore with
him into private life their full measure of
esteem and

Why Not a Cora Show?

We would suggest that the Jas
per Farmers Association prepare
now for a corn show next fall, in
connection with another farmers
institute. The reason We would
prepare now is TO give the farmers
an extra incentive for selecting
only tie best Of seed corn. II If
suid that the time to begin the
training Of child is before it is
born. On the same principle, to
raise a prize eur Of corn it is nee
essary to begin year or two be-
forehand. Undoubtedly every
merchant in town would be glad
to give prizes of articles from their
stores The Association could Of

the State Board Of Agriculture
furnishes medals Of honor for the
winners in the corn shows through
out the s.ute We believe the
quality and quantity Of the corn
could be beltered around jasper
and corn shows would DO one
means of helping. Ita corn show
for next fall should be announced
now the farmers could begin right
now TO prepare for it.

The rndspenden. Voters.

While this was written before
the elections Tuesday, we take it
for granted that the independent
voters showed their power in the
various localities where the issue
was between mechine rule and
graft aud honesty.
The Secretary of the Treasury,
Mr.. Shaw touched on the Jude.
pendent voter while on a trip to
Ohio in q way which would indi-
cate that he did not have much
use for independency in politics.
Ga one occasion Mr.. Shaw said:
If voting for mon instead Of
measures becomes popular, th,n
the man most fluent in speech or
the man who has the most news
papers probably be the next Pres
ident of the United States, and
unless the Republicans of Ohio
desire this logical, if not inevita-
bic result they should not take
the lead in obliterating party
lines"
Mr.. Shaw is supposed to be one
Of the candidates for President in
1908 on a stand pat platform.
He is politician after the pat
tern Of the late Mark Hanna, who
placed party loyalty above every
thing else.
Mr.. Shaw must not expect too
much from the people. 1t is sur.
prising what the people have al.
ready stood for the sake Of party
Loyalty. They baye stood by their
parties in the face Of the all kinds
of political jobbery until they
have been compelled Ito for con-
science suke refuse to uphold a
scouudrel simply for party's sake.
They have learned that measures
don't amount to much in the
hands of corrupt officials.
Another thing Mr. Shaw, the
man who is the most fluent
tulker or has the most newspapers
is not going to stand the best show
for the presidency hereafter, but
the man who has u record of hon
esty and has proven that he can
do things.
