they can do is to designate SELECTED
lHERSONS," accredited representatives
for their purposes 1t is their privilege,
nay their duty to participate in their Sc
lection, and to see to 1t that they are
truly representative. This is the ma
chinery by which the people are enabled
to rule. What other or better machin-
cry has Mr.. Roosevelt to offer? Thus
far he has offered none. He has simply
rung the changes on the Ito us) mean
ingless phrase, Let the people rule"
And therein his utterance is disappoint-
ing, utterly unsatisfying. 1t may catch
the popular fancy, but 1t cannot con-
vince the analytic Judgment. For this
reason We regret that Mr.. Roosevelt's
candidacy makes this the issue In the
Republican presidential primary AS
our readers we'll know, we have not fav
ored the denomination of President Taft.
We have regarded his record as one that
would make him unacceptable to a very
large element Of the party and therefore
an exceptionally weak candidate. But
the issue which Mr.. Roosevelt forces up
on us transcends all minor considera-
tions. 1t Is an issue which deals with
the fundamental nature of our govern
ment. Much as we dislike certain
phases of Mr.. Tafts presidential record,
we believe he is standing for the true
American system of government If we
have to choose between Taft and Roose-
welt on this issue we do not hesitate TO
say that we stand VITA Taft. Naturally
therefore we regret tse situation which
has arisen. Ours was the f1rst voice.
raised in this State for an UNPLEDGED
DELEGATION to Chicago-a delegation
which would be free to use it's soundest
and best judgment in selecting the can
didate. Mr.. Roosevelt's candidacy pre-
ceded by the efforts to send delegates in
structed for President Taft, has made
this plan virtually impossible. 1t seems
to be a case of Taft or Roosevelt. Mr..
Roosevelt's insistence upon his un-Amer-
lean doctrine of popular sovereignty
makes the paramount issue the nature OF
our American government, and thereby
drives many Of us into the Taft camp,
whether we would or no. Our personal
feelings have to yielc to our political
principles-to our faith in our system Of
government, as 1t was meant to be and
IS Some issues are too big to be COM
plicated by personal feelings or any
minor considerations. This is one Of
them.

AN OUTRAGE ON THE PEOPLE

THE Governor has signed the bill max"
Ing an appropriation of the equivalent Of
two millions Of dollars to the Johns
Hopkins University for the establishment
of school of TechnoIogy.
We are anna ed that this bill could
have ever gotten through the Legislature,
despite our knowledge of the fact that
powerful lobby of Baltimores fnan-
ciers were bent on ats passage. Mr..
William T. Warburton, who had all along
expressed himself as opposed to the bill
assured us, in our very last interview
prior to its passage, thai it hadn't
ghost of SHOW of passing. Imagine our
establishment then, not only at it's pass
age, but at the fact that Mr.. Warburton
himself spoke and voted for 1t in the
House. Does Mr.. Warpurton imagine he
was representing the people of this
county, who elected him, when he cast
his vote and voice for this and other
measures that have carried with them
such vast appropriations of the people
money as to cause a doubling of the tax
rate and make property holding in
Maryland a very uncertain good? Is it
fair to small property holders, renters
and such other classes of our citi ems
who make up its great majority, to con-
tinue this pilng up of the tax rate be-
yond endurance? In the last analysis the
BURDEN of taxation invariably fal. s
upon this class of citi ems. We shall be
glad to argue that proposition, and
prove it up to the hilt, with anyone who
cares to dispute 1t. The very rich are
not The ones burdened with taxation. 1t
was chiefly the very rich who with
few ''impracticals' anu the Baltimore
-dail.es) were fo.sting this new burden
ON the people of Maryland-and doing
1t fcrsooth on the ridiculous or das-
tardly) plea that it would be boon to
poor mems sons That plea will not
Aold for moment. We are no. going
to stop 10 show how utterly false it is,
because we have never yet found any
one who could maintain its reasonable
ness with sufficient weight 10 make an
argument worth while.
The whole truth of the matter is that
certain intimately correlated financial
interests in this State wanted to get
good big handout from the State treasury
for the Johns Hopkins University. And
they got it. When one runs over the list
of men who were pushing this enterprise
he is constrained to ask with bitter
scorn how much THEY care about poor
mems sons" or how much they care about
the bitter burden of taxation they are
piling up on the homes and hearts of the
people of our State. But the people
care and care enough we believe to re-
Duke every man who lent himself 10 this
outrageous appropriation. We must do
more than rebuke; we must PROTECT
OURSELVES against this pling up Of
the tax burden in this State-or move
out. But more of that later.

For An Unpledged Delegation
Washington, D. c., Apr. 8.


Hon. Frank E. Williams, Elkton, Md.
Dear Strive wish very much that
you could get into the Maryland cam
paign for Col. Roosevelt. Can l. write
him that yor will do so? We are led to
believe that with the primary law in
force in Maryland, Republican voters Of
that State will declare for Roosevelt as
the Presidential nominee No one here
in Washington doubts that Taft's nomi-
nation means crushing defeat in Novem-
Der, and that Roosevelt's nomination
means victory.
Very truly yours.
JOSEPH VI. DIXON

Hon. Joseph NJ. Dixon. U. S. Senate,

Dear Sir:-Referring 20 your telegram
of even date, beg to state that | see no
reason to change the position which
took some months ago in behalf of an
UNPLEoGBD DELEGATION from Mary
land, and which have already had the
honor of communicating to you. AZ
things now appear, ! think it would be .
sad mistake to nominate either Taft or
Roosevelt. | therefore maintain my lone
ly advocacy of an UNPLEDGED DELE
CATION.
Very respectfully yours

A REGRETTABLE ISSUE

WE confess to sense of distinct dis
appointment at the character of Roose
yets recent speeches. There is nothing
definite, practical, constructive about
them. One is tempted to fall into ex-
pressive slang and cry hot air after
careful perusal of the Boston, Portland
or St. Louis speech. The glory of Roose-
velts campaigning in the past lay in the
fact that he Always had something to say
to the people and said it--clearly, Wig
orously, arousingly His recent speeches
are utterly lacking in this quality. And
why? To our thinking, because Roose-
Welt has got the wrong side of the argu
ment in his discuss. OTIS OF the nature of
our American government. Ours is
government of the people, for the peo-
pie, by the REPRESENTATIVES of the
people. On the first two clauses of this
proposition we are all agreed. The third
one is Mr.. Roosevelt's OBJ. ect of attack.
And thus far his attacks have not been
In the least satisfying. We have already
expressed our conviction that this Re-
pub .ic is historically no PURE demo-
cracy at all, but REPRESENTATIVE
system of government, and We do not
care to refer further to this contention
just now. Our disappointment with Mr..
Roosevelt's speeches on this subject Is
not simply that he ignores the true his
tory OF our political system but that he
fails in the critical test of all statesman
like utterance-in the requirement to re-
place what he condemns. II ours is not
government by REPRESENTATIVE of
the peoplement it is government by
WHOM? Mr.. Roosevelt says By the peo-
pie themselves. But this N. Il

A young clerk on his first visit
to Chicago thought to impress his
friends by putting up at an ex-
pensive hotel, the charges of
which were really more than he
could afford, and he had therefore
to economic in various ways to
make ends meet.
On one occasion he happened
to be taking his midday meal in a
high-stool lunchroom when
young man and his sister, friends
of his, passed. The pretentious
clerk bowed his head over his
sandwich, hoping to be unrecog-
nized, but the friend saw him and

PEACE, SAD HEART!
Editor Johnny Spreckles is
weeping bitter crocodilian tears
because scarcely a man of ma
tional reputation, with the excep-
ton of Roosevelt and Perkins, at
tended that recent moose gather
ing at Chicago.
This feature has been quite no
ticeable at all important moose
meetings. At the national con
vention in August one had to look
very closely to discover many
delegates with reputation quite so
national and strong as a Penrose's
or a Murphy's. That meeting
and others of the third party seem
to have been made up of a very
extraordinary large proportion of
plain people, people who had neg
lected or failed to acquire national
repute either as bosses or boot
lickers of the privileged class.
Still, they made quite a showing.
Maybe they'd have done better
without even one man of national
reputation in their midst.

pie think you are-doesn't go
