Dear Sir-I see that Vim.
Ranke does not agree with me, as
to the cause of existing condi-
lions. but thinks IL one received
all his labor produced would be
the proper thing. l presume he
is like some of the socialist ora
tors and papers. That claim that
one is entitled to all his labor
produced and if one Is able to pro-
duce twice as much as another he
Is entitled to it. If so, / cannot
see where he has improved Cor
can improve) conditions any over
the present, for with that system
there would have to be medium
Of exchange.
My belief Is this: the force
that brought US here does not
make mistakes, and has caused
human beings to come fitted for
every position that is a benefit to
the human race, and no matter
what the position filled, are only
entitled to what they desire Of
the necessities of life. As long
as we use a medium of exchange
that can be accumulated by 9TH
ers a few will accumulate what
the many produce.

Dear Times Editor: In re-
CARDS to the answer of Mr.. VIM.
Ranke to a former letter to the
Times, let me suggest that in
place of an economic condition,
say moral condition. As everyone
must admit that IL each and all
did by the other as they would
have the other do by them, that
then all would be well, and not
until this condition rules can we
truly call ourselves a civilized peo-
pie.
agree with him that the cause
is the profit system" DIETER
termed selfishness). Until we
overcome greed by education, en-
lightened moral education, it will
not matter much what laws we
have on our books, there will be
those that will elude or break
them. 1t will make but little diff
ference what party Is in control.
There will be some that cannot
be trusted. Even IL socialism
we're well established, so long as
the majority would rather receive
than give, things would be but
little better.
! am not member of any par
Ity (being woman and living In
Washington), nor member of
any church, but II seems to me
that Jesus was the greatest So
cialist ever on earth. And not
until religion and politics Join
hands on the moral principles that
he taught will things be right.
| OF course, realize that all this
agitation is necessary, else we
would not progress.

to the editor, as they show this

To the Editor of the Times:
Sir-Please allow me space in
your valuable paper to say a few
words in regards to us city en-
ployes. Would 1t not be a good
idea for some of our high-salaried
office holders in the city hall to
look back few years when some
OF them used to wear white
apron singing hash in a nearby
town "called Auburn" their hat
might have been two or three
sizes smaller and they perhaps
would recognize their lodge broth
ers more than they do now. But
there will be an awakening next
April, for the laboring class of
men have their eyes open, espe-
ciaIiy We city employees.

times in the last year and half,

sition, and every time there was
an opening that / could take and
fill properly someone else got 1t
because he either came from or
his mothers people were born in
the same town or county that the
head of the department was
from. Whether he was capable
to fill the position or not he got
It. Did the mayor, commissioner
or any OF the councilmen that are
in office or that are intending to
run for office this spring ever stop
TO consider that 1t Ia the laborine

Dear Miss Grey: 1 am a girl of

for permission to go to
places of amusements, else they
will not allow me to go. Dou you
think that is right? What time
should young man leave a girls
home after spending the evening?
Is one dance a week too many for
a girl to attend?
BROWN EYES.
A.-sD Stop and think a mo-
ment. Legally you are free to do
as you please, but so long as you
are living with your parents, why
not consult their wishes and ask
permission when you wish to go?
You owe 1t to them-it pleases
them-it cannot hurt you. and If
you combat their wishes you make
all concerned unhappy, and bring
discord into the home.

Pilgrims Visit Bohemia Manor

Members OF the Bohemian Historical
Society and others on SUNDAY made a
trip on the steamer Clio from Balti-

Quite a number of Cecil residents
met the steamer at the landing. Frank
J. Pintner gave sketch OF Herman
and his work, and John +. Shimanek
gave an address in Bohemian Col
v J. Shimck, OF Baltimore, spoke of
the monument which is to be erected
i'll that city to Hermans memory. A
wreath Ol white roses was placed upon
the tablet now set i'll the wall of the
manor house that formerly covered
the grave of Herman Governor Gro
Tiers had been invited to attend the
exercises, but was not present. From
reports oi Cecil people who attended
this affair, it would seem to call for
investigation on the part OF our local
authorities While the Clio was tied
up at the Bohemia wharf, the bar did
a rushing business.
