ADVISORY COMMITTEE

N REALTY to the qualification of citi-
~ zens who believe in using every
VI available means of procuring a
square deal for the taxpayers, the
members of the good roads advisory
committee have announced they are in
the fight to stay.
Citizen Sheriff voiced thought which
has obtained lodgment in the brains of
many other citizens when he said:
II for one, and l know many others,
never would have voted for the good
roads bonds but for the pledge of the
supervisors to submit all matters to the
advisory committee. If we had the re-
call in the county the supervisors would
not have dared break their pledge
He added candidly: II was not a par
tisan believer in the recall from the
beginning, but have seen how it works
in the checking and prevention of cor
ruption. I have seen how Mayor Alex
ander has Strengthened things out, and
l know it is right"
The recah is a defender of the peo-
pies interests. 1t is not at all likely
the supervisors would have attempted
to repudiate their election promises If
they had stood in danger Of being re-
called in consequence Of their refusal TO
acknowledge the official standing of the
advisory committee. The principle at
stake in the controversy between the
supervisors and the advisory commit
teemen is of the gravest importance,
because it is one of the first principles
of Americanism.
1t is the right at any time of the
people of the United States or any COM
munity of the people to provide new
guards for their security 1t is the
right of the people of the United States
or of any community to appoint ad-
visory committees and it is especially
| the right of the people to be repre-
sented by advisory committees wher
large sums of money have been voted
| by the people for a specific purpose
with the distinct stipulation the regu-
| lar officials charged by the people witt
! the expenditure of the special fund pro
vided for special purposes and for nc
other purposes should consult with ar
ADVISORY committee, specially represent.
! ing the people, in the matter of specia
expenditure of such special fund pro.
vided by the people for such specia
! purpose And the good roads fund is {
| special fund. II cannot by any stretch
of the Imagination be regarded as ar
ordinary fund the expenditure of whicr
! is regularly incidental to the routine

BELIEVES WOMEN MIGHT E
HOME MAKERS AND STILL VOTE

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4.-GEditor
Herald: The trained nurse who writes
for the Letter Box thinks women ought
not to vote, because they will be taken
out of their homes. If women mustn't
leave the home for any purpose Qsnt
that a good deal like saying that hen
must never under any circumstances
get out of the nest?), will not this pro-
fessional woman tell us whether she
has ever done hospital work? If she
has, she was not then attending to the
home duties" surely. Very likely she
objects to working with woman
physician, who has an office outside
her home. If she has scientific train
ing, she got it in the face of just such
objection as she herself is making to
the extension of citizenship to women.
If she had lived in the time of Plau-
tus she would have found no woman
taking part in the drama or the OPERA
all the feminine roles were taken by
the men-women were then out OF
place" upon the stage.
It does not take the average profess
sional man a great deal of time to keep
fairly well informed on politics and to
60 to the voting booth once in Whllei
what is the reason that 1t is going TO
oust the average woman out OF her
home If she applies the knowledge OF
civil government she got at school? In
the last election at Denver an observer
noticed women with children, taking
them right along to the polls; homes
not broken up, and nobody reported
the worse for the experience ana TOT
the fact that the women helped to pro-
tect less fortunate children than many
of their own by electing Judge Lindsay
to office again.
This particular nurse is in the minor
ity, apparently, so far as her own pro-
fession is concerned. The international
council of trained nurses, which took
place in London last month adoptea
resolution in favor of equal suffrage.
AS for Goods appointed plan" she
does not know anything about it, Ac-
cording to ST. Paul, If a woman wants
to learn anything, she shall ask her
husband at home (Cor. 14:95). is that
the way nurses get their educations

DEPLoREs PHILANTHROPY OF
THOSE WHO HIRE CHILDREN

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 4.-[Editor Her-
add: Mary Allen has shed a new ilgnt
on the labor question. She says we
should be thankful we have men VINO
are willing to sacrifice their business
interests by hiring inefficient help Tor
the sake of giving these poor chlldren
a chance to earn an honest living for
themselves and perhaps keep starva-
tion from claiming widowed mother
as it's victim"
Such men have been looked upon by
MANY as oppressors of the poor but 1t
seems they are philanthropists, even to
the extent of sacrificing their business
interests for the sake of the poor emil
dren. Many of the Northern states
have laws against such philanthropy
but the employers do all they can to
evade the law and help the poor chill
dren. They lie about their ages and
hide the little ones in the mills when

SAN PEDRO

q AN PEDRO is making preparations
to come into the harbor union.
~ The overwhelming victory won by
consolidationists at the Wilmington
election was an accurate indication of
what may be expected confidently at
the San Pedro election. The people of
San Pedro are intelligent wide awake,
alert, business like American citizens,
who have examined thoroughly every
phase of the consolidation question,
have made sure the advocates of con-
solidation are right, and are going
ahead with their important share of
the plans for Greater Los Angeles.
The enemy, overwhelmingly defeated
at Wilmington, has a possible ally at
San Pedro-overconfide We urge
all friends of Greater Los Angeles to
use their utmost endeavors from now
until election day to bring out the vote.
The remarkably good showing made at
the wilmington election must be sur
passed. The country must learn
the power of the enemy is broken be-
yond repair. Our fellow citizens in the
United States must realize Greater Los
Angeles will be a free city, which can
not be interfered with in any way by
selfish corporation or private inter
ests.
The union of Los Angeles, San Pedro
and Wilmington will show the world
the day of exploitation is passed.
The people of San Pedro will keep up
the prestige of that city by giving an
overwhelming majority for consolida-
ton. The victory at Wilmington be-
gins well the work of forming Greater
Los Angeles, but although well begun
is half done, no one should make the
mistake of thinking it is altogether
done.
Now is the time to work harder than
ever for the complete fulfillment OF
Greater Los Angeles plans. Let the
people of Greater Los Angeles show
the world they were talking we'll within
the mark when they asserted that IN
spite of corporation canards, the SEN
timent in favor of Greater Los Angeles
is practically unanimous.

the inspector comes around and at the
end of the week the little ones are pre-
sented with from $3.50 to $500. At the
same time they have the privilege of
dwarfing their body and mind, grow
ing up in ignorance. BY the time they
should reach manhood they are worm
out little old men and women.
In the Southern states the business
men are not restricted in their sacri-
fees. They are allowed to hire chill
dren and work them from twelve to fif-
teen hours a day. In some cotton mills
there are children only four years old
working. While the little ones are
working the men can be hunting for
jobs. If these sacrificing employers
were compelled not to hire children and
pay living wages to men there would
be less poverty. There is enough In
the world TO take care of the widows
and orphans without making slaves of
the children.
1t is the children who are being sac
rihced, not the BUSINESS interests of the
rifced, not the business interests of the
employers. WORKMAN.

FORMER EDITOR SURPRISED
AT REV. BOB BURDETTE'S AGE

ALAMEDA, Cal, Aug. 2.-[Editor
Herald: That Rev. Dobert j. Burdette
is only 65 years old surprised me as [
read the announcement in The Herald.
About the year 1858 l was editor and
publisher of a weekly paper in Fort
Madison. Ia, and in making up my
"wit and humor" column 1 frequently
copied from the Burlington Hawkeye
the witticisms contributed to that paper
by Bob Burdette."
But 1t never occurred to me at the
time he was a boy IN "short pants"
It is no wonder that a boy so gifted
has climbed up and up until he has
reached the top rung.

REWARD OF MERIT

TT IS pleasant to learn II, Thaw pro-
poses to take the literary field, and
4 that enterprising publishers are SO
deeIly enamored of the idea they
have already contracted for $40
OO' worth of his stuff The moral
is obvious. A man who would
win renunerative literary fame should
not allow himself to be d drudge. He
should not learn his business. He
should not work at his trade. He
should not strive 10 perfect himself ir
his art, Tor the rule in the writing
world is, the greater the experience
and competency, the less the reward
No the way to financial success in the
writing world lies NOS via the hard
hammered type machine The literary
aspirant must do something. Let the
would-be successful poet drop, in a
parachute from an airship at an eleva-
ton of several thousand feet. Then the
public won't care whether his lines
scan properly or limp like Nephibo-
sheth. They win buy his productions
Let the novelist strip TO the waist
paint his torso sky blue scarlet and
run whooping through the public mar
ket place-aud that win find him a
market place for his literary junk
Let the dramatist send a few men to
the hospital and chase his mother-iu-
law round and round the block and he
will be rewarded with r'ches and fame
The plodding blockhead who sticks tc
the old fashioned idea that hard work
is the prime essential to success might
as well get him to a mummy case, fOl
the dried remains of Thotmes The
Forty Second have as much chance OF
accumulating a competency as ne has.

Uncle Billy Workman is one of the
stanchest, truest and most respected
and best known of the citizens of Los

terest to the extraordinary story Of at
tempted blackmail which The Herald

which Mr.. Workma can remember,
there would have been short shrift for

IIlHSURGENT FACTION WON
IN DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES
The Party Split Asunder And Open
War Has Been Declared.

Probably the bitterest contest in the
political history of Garrett county took
place last Saturday between the Hamill
and the Browning factions of the Demo-
cratic party, when lines were drawn
taunt and war was openly declared by
both factions. the Browning forces be-
ing under the leadership of ex-State
Senator r. I. Browning, while the
Hamill, or so-called insurgents, - were
generated by Mr. G. Semmes HamiIl,
Jr., of Oakland chairman of the Demo-
cratic County Committee. So hot was
the contest waged that families were
divided, some going into one camp and
some into the her. and in one instance
a rupture has occurred between part
ners who have been successful in their
business and dissolution has resulted.
The polls opened, according to the
primary election law, at one O'Clock
and in every district workers for their
favorite tickets We're out, neither side
asking or granting quarter
Two tickets were in the field. the
Browning faction having placed Messrs.
j. J. Bender, of Grantsvile, and DR..
E. H. Bartlett and c. A. Deffinbaugh,
of Oakland, in nomination, and the
Hamill faction having as its candidates
for delegates to the State convention
Messrs. Thomas J. Browning, of
Thayerville; Clarence v Guard, of
t'riendsville, and S. X. Schlossnagle, Of
Accident. The latter ticket won by a
majority of 49,
The preliminaries of the actual fight,
however, did not occur until Tuesday
morning at Oakland, when the commit
tee, under the law, was supposed TO
meet and canvas the vote and to certify
the election to the State Convention Of
the local delegation. AT the hour speci-
fed, eleven O'Clock, the return judges
met at the Office of the Orphan Court,
Mr.. G. Semmes HamilI, chairman of the
cQRmittee, being present in his official
" ity, and Mr.. +. T. Browning, also
member of the committee, as d spec
p ator. Immediately after the judges
met to make their return a written
protest was handed the chairman in
which the legality of the call for the
primaries was attacked, setting forth
the fact that under the law the commit
tee, and not the chairman, was empow-
cred to make the call; that the notice
was published in a newspaper claiming
to be Independent in its views and not
the recognized organ, thereby not CIV
ing the proper legal notice to the mem
bers of the party, and in other ways at
lacking the course Of the chairman.
After reading the protest it was laid
aside by the chairman who then entered

case, think it wise to call the atten-

aspires to the high and lofty position Of
Chief Judge in this Circuit. Irefer to
Mr.. D. LindIey Sloan. Of Cumberland.
This gentleman has reached the aye
where calm Judgment reaches its fll
Development. and he is rightly recogniz-
ed as the leader Of the younger element
Of the Allegany bar. He is fitted. both
by education and temperament to fill the
the position, and possesses all the
qualifications necessary to make wise
and careful jurist He is. by far. the
strongest candidate suggested for the
Republican nomination, and with
united party behind him will be elected
by an overwhelming majority. Mr..
Sloan comes of a family that has been
long identified with the growth and
development of Allegany county. and
the Republican party will make no
mistake in selecting him as It's candi-
date for the bench In addition to his
legal attainments and recognized ability
he is man of spotless reputation and

will add lustre to a ling line of eminent
