Committee To Boom Bryan's Nomi-
nation.

The executive committee of the Mary
land Democratic Association met at the
headquarters of the Association in Balti-
more. Friday night and appointed a
general committee of 100 to take such
steps as IT may deem wise for the secur
ing of delegates irony Maryland to the
Democratic National Convention in favor
cF.the nomination of William Jennings
Bryan as the Democratic candidate for
President, and also for the purpose of aid
ing in carrying the State for him at the
general election in November.
In taking this action the executive COM
inittee adopted resolutions declaring that
the occurrence of panic while the Repub-
licans are in control of all branches ofthe
national Government and under the high
est tariff the country has ever known
completely refuted the stock argument Of
the Republicans that panics occurred only
under Democratic administrations and
Democratic tariff law.
The Republican party being more di-
vided today than at any other time since
1892. the committee declares that pros.
poets are bright for the election of Dem
ocratic President this fall, and that it is
wise for the Democratic party to name
that candidate who will be strongest be-
fore the country. That candidate. the
committee declared, is Mr. Bryan.

FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1908.

The Baltimore Sun raises objection to
the Benson road bill III its present form.
seeing in the salaried commission it
would create, and give such unlimited
powers, an open sesame to the building
up Of powerfuiS political machine,
should those in power 50 incline. No
fear is expressed that such would be the
case under the present administration,
whose honestysand public spiritedness is
implicitly trusted, but it is for what might
follow afterward, with the affairs of State
in the hands of those not imbued with
such integrity.
With fund Of 100000 at its abso-
lutte disposal, aud unlimited power to
employ experts, attorneys, engineers,
etc, labor both skilled and nrskilled, to
fix compensations and to remove them at
will: the powers are sweeping, and it is
this feature, which contains such far
reaching possibilities. TO which the Sun
mainly objects. as the bill might create
a political engine which could make itself
supreme in the State, nominate caudi-
dates. carry elections and dictate legis-
lation," good roads thereby becoming
but secondary consideration.
On the other hand, while. the Benson
bill contains such possibilities for cor
ruptions and the defeat of the purpose for
which it is intended. the bill introduced
by Senator Biddison is cited as being free
from these objects, and under its pro-
visions it would be impossible to build a
political machine The commission is
charged with no power to employ labor
or experts. All it would do would be to
select the roads to be improved and turn
The work over to an agency which is now
organized and over which the Governor
presides. and which has proved its eff
cheney and its nonpartisan aud non
sectional character.

Labor Organizations Not Trusts.

The defenders of trusts are hiding be-
hind labor organization--they insist that
an organization Of capital to control trade
is Identical in principle with cooperation
between laborers or farmers They over.
look an important distinction, namely,
that laborers combine to protect their own
labor and that farmers combine to protect
their own labor, transmitted into farm
produce, while those who form trusts com
bine to control the labor or products of
others.
Among our inalienable rights are the
right to-life. the right to liberty and the
right to the pursuit Of happiness. Men
can lawfully combine oprotect their own
lives. their own liberties and their own
pursuits of happiness but they can not
combine 10 control the lives of others,
the liberty of others or the pursuit OF
happiness by others.
Those whose unite for the protection OF
life, liberty and pursuit of happiness do SO
only when driven 10 it by necessity and
their organizations have not secured for
the producing masses more than fair
share Of the wealth produced. Trusts are
founded upon greed-not upon necessity
anil these trusts have already enabled a
few mauipulators to amass enormou us,
swollen and unearned fortunes.-The

SHERIFF AND AUDITORS
SCRAP OVER PAYROLL

The refusal OF the county auditors
to- approve of Sheriff Burns pay rou,
has aroused the ire OF that official and
he threatens to carry the matter into
the courts Several weeks ago the
sheriff was ordered 90 cut of two depu-
ties, and he refused. When the pay
roll was presented the auditors refis-
cd 10 afiix their o. k. until two names
were cut on The sheriff grabbed a
pencil. and slashed at/tne bill blindlyl
David Relyea and Michael Mcclure
were the men cut of, and the bill was
then passed.
Sheriff Burns called on the audi.
tors Thursday, and demanded the pay
for these men. Prosecutor ferkes
was called in by the auditors. and az
ter a conference the sheriff was in
formed thai the account would not be
paid.
'T'll show these men that they eau

10 FORCE PAVING
WOULD WORK INJUSTICE

The streets committee of the coun-
ell is confronted with bad mix-up in
regard TO paving in some OF the east
side streets. The people OF certain
sections. as for instance, the factories
adjacent TO Franklin-st., and the mer-
chants oil Gratiot-ave., near McDou-
gall, want these streets paved under
the law allowing certain amount OF
forced paving per year.
But the aldermen have found that.
although the streets need paving. the
land Is largely leased along the front
age and the lessons would be forced
to pay the paving charges which would
mount up to a fair proportion OF the
value OF the property they have built
on these leased lots. Along Franklin
ST., near McDougall and JOS. Campau,
the land is held on short term leases
and the tenants have built small cot
tages. To force them to pave would
be almost confiscatory, and there ia
no way to force the owners OF the land
to stand the charges. Franklin.st.
would take much OF the heavy truck
ing away from jefferson If paved be-
tween Adair and Chene-sts., but II il
probable that proposal to take sucn
action would arouse so much protest
that 1t would not pass the council.
