BALTIMORE And TIE PANT.

Baltimore is a very progressive
town-a great many virginians live
there. ! docs big things in big
way II has Just now subscribed
100000 for the purpose of having the
next Democratic Convention held there
In 1912. This In itself is worth while.
but the holding of the Convention will
be far bigger thing for Baltimore
and the rest of the country than the
raising OF the money TO pay the nee
essary expenses of that great assem-
blaEe OF the representatives Of the
plain people. Fifteen national nomi-
mating conventions have been held in
baltimore, fourteen of these conven-
TONS by the larger political parties
Five Presidents received their nomi-
nations in that town-Jackson In 1892
Van Buren, in 1895, Polk In 1874, Pierce
In 1850. and Lincoln In 1864 In 1881,
1854 and 1852 both OF the large pc
iitical conventions were held in Balu-
more, In 1860 two nominating con-
ventions of the Democracy were held
there. In 1872 Horace Greeley was
nominated for President In Baltimore.
The candidates nominated there have
generally been elected. we agree
with the Washington Star. from which
we have obtained these facts, that
"democracy and hope for success must
lie in the East and geographical con

Baltimore's favor as against iit"

THE cosr or THE coRoNArIoS.

There has been good deal OF NOR
alizing of very cheap and common
sort about the enormous cost OF the
coronation of the King and Queen Of
England Rolling their eyes 10 heaven
at the sinful waste. many of our most
eminent hypocrltes have sought 10 dis
turh the occasion by their reflections
upon the general wictedness of man
Kind and particularly mankind Of the
royal and aristocratic sort
In all that has been said. apparently
no account has been taken of the fact
that by far the larger part % the
money that has been expended on the
coronation and its attendant celebra-
tons has gone into the pockets of
industry. The railroads ana steamship
companies. the tram-car lines. the
buses and taxis, the butcher lie
baker. the candlestick maker The
weavcrs who made the costly fabrics
OF which the coronation gowns were
fashioned. the women who embroid-
cred the wonderful patterns on them.
the tradcsmen who sold them. all uot
their fair share of the pronts. All
that the King and the Queen have
gotten out of 1t has been the popular
acclaim OF their loyal subjects, and
the ambassadors and their people have
paid for what they have received.
There have not been such rich pick
ings in London for many the year. and
careful calculation would doubtless
show that ninetenths of the enormous
cost of the Royal event went into the
hands Of the industrious who made the
marvellous spectacle possible. a coro-
nation celebration every few years
would lubricate the wheels OF com.
merce in a surprising way.
This is the business side of the af
fair that appears to have escaped the
observation of those who are always
trying TO accentuate the lines between
the rich and the poor. When the rich
spend freely. there Is always the
chance that the poor will get some
thing out OF it. 1t is better to spend
than to hoard
