TROUBLES IN STORE FOR WILSON

THE New York World, which is sup
porting the Democratic candidate for
President, referring to the plank in the
Democratic platform which declares that
the levy of tariff for any orner pur-
pose than for revenue only is unconsti-
tutional, says:
Governor Wilson is busy writing his
speech of acceptance, and a great many
Republicans are hoping that he will find
himself upon the horns of dilemma in
dealing with the tariff plank of the Bal
timore platform.
The World urges Governor Wilson
away from the dilemma by promptly but
emphatically repudiating the platform.
The New York Times, also supporting
the Democratic candidate, referring to
the financial plank of the platform, says:
The Democratic platform does not aid
him Governor Wilson, On the con-
trary, it is essentially embarrassing. 1t
is confused and contradictory.
The Times hopes Governor Wilson will
show that he is not as muddled as his
party on the money question, but will
come out strongly for some such plan as
that formulated by the Aldrich Commits

have become accustomed to seeing can
didates work havoc with a party's plat
form, but they are not accustomed to
seeing all the partys profession pitched
overheard.
There will be much curiosity to learn
what Colonel Bryan will think of it, II
his carefully arranged plan of lining UP
the party for what he thinks is a pro-
gressive policy and of getting candi-
date to fit the platform goes astray.
Mr.. Bryan was so deter mined to pre-
vent the reputation of the party's de-
claration of faith that he insisted the
unusual procedure be followed of nomi-
mating the candidate frs, an tnen draft
ing the platform. His reason for this
departure explicitly stated at the time,
was to prevent the party being humiliat-
ed as it was eight years ago, when after
the platform was adopted, the candidate
Judge Parker-put his foot through the
financial plank, much to Mr.. Bryan s
chagrin. The Judge demanded it's rejec-
ton, and it was rejected.
Mr. Bryan will probably have some
thing interesting to say If his scheme to
prevent another such catastrophe comes
to naught.
The Democratic platform declares for
adequate and well proportioned navy,
and caucus of Democratic Congress-
men has just interpreted this to mean
no more battleships at this time Tn
the other hand, Mr.. Hearst is threaten
ing to desert both the candidate and the
party unless, by lingo, they build
dreadnaughts, and build 'em quick.
On the whole, DR., Wilson may find
that the horses he is to drive are not as
well broken to harness as they seemed
to be a week or two ago Baltimore

AS We SEE 1T EXACTLY

WE are in receipt OF a communicate on
from the Johns Hopkins University, ask
ing us to set forth certain matters with
reference to the establishment of the
new geological School. We decline and
that because we are and have been
strongly opposed to the foisting of this
expensive proposition on the taxpayers
of this State
WE have not always found it possible
to agree with the utterences of formsS'
Attorney General William Shepherd
Bryan. His recent remarks, however, on
the donation Of two millions of dollars
by the Legislature to the Johns Hopkins
university, are so emnently to our lik-
ing that we herewith reproduce them at
length. General Bryan said:
Tine Johns Hopkins University dona-
tion was a mistake.
Il think Johns Hopkins University is a
very splendid institution and | would be
glad If Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan or
some anonymous phiIanthropist would
give it $4,000, 900 or $4,000, 900. Maryland
ought TO be very proud of Hopkins be-
cause IL has added to ner glory through
the world My only reason for agreeing
with Mayor Preston that this was an in
opportune time for the State to give
$1,000 to that great institution is sim
ply that the State cannot afford it.
When we consider the high cost of
living and that taxes are now at the I'M
precedented figure of 81 cents on the 800
1t seems to me improper for this State to
use public money for any purpose, no
matter how worthy which is not impera-
lively necessary. We ought to remem-
Der that money raised by taxation is
mostly collected by force largely from
poor people, and that ii is unjustifable

philanthropic impulse. Our soul is
troubled by the distressed, let us say,
the "hobbled', estate of our fair sisters,
and the sole aim and motive of the pres
ent modest offering is to afford them
some ameiloration. We have witnessed
their heroic, but handicapped, struggles
within the painfully narrow bounds of
the present modish dress skirt, until
our sympathies are racked beyond lon
ger silence. We simply MUST point the
dear things "a way OUT. We must re-
mind them that the only fitting gait for
hobbies" is a PACE. That is what
hobbies We're invented for. Our charm
ing sisters, with some measure of that
sweet unreasonableness" which is said
to inhere in their sex, have adopted the
hobbies without conforming to the gait.
Hence their painfully ludicrous attempts
very smallest measure of rapidity. Every
horseman knows that a hobbled animal
is meant to PACE, and could, would and
should do nothing else. An effort to
trot in the things is a fiat failure and
any running business is liable to result
in broken neck. Take warming, lad
les, from the race course where they
used hobbies before you did; stop, and
stop ere it is everlastingly too late, your
efforts to "trot home or run for the
train. If hurry is imperative and you
must needs speed up a Bit don't trot,

| imperatively necessary for the purposes
Of the government.
at is no answer to say that giving this
money to the university will work a lot
of Incidental good Ig the same amount
of money was given by the State to Car
dinal Gibbons or Bishop Murray they
would accomplish great good with it,
but no thoughtful person would imagine
that with a tax rate of 81 cents on the
800 it were proper to donate such a
large sum of money to either Of these
eminent ecclesiast.cs.
1T seems to me unjust to raise the
taxes of farmer in Dorchester county
to 81 cents in order to enable the uni
versity to give highly technical educa-
ton to some bright boys from Baltimore
or Cumberland.
II notice in the Sun that my old school
mate, Woodrow Wilson, and many other
nonresident dignitaries approve of the
generous gift by poor people of Mary,
land to this great university None of
these nonresident publicists is a tax
payer of Maryland nor are their consti-
tuents taxpayers of this State; there
fore, when hey generously approve or
these Maryland taxpayers giving $780,
600 of their taxes, paid in many instances
at great personal sacrifice, they some
what remind me of what Artemus Ward
said during the war between the States.
Ward expressed Willingness to allow
all of his wife's Uelations to enlist in the
army, and Mr.. Wilson and these other
eminent public men, VINO congratulated
The Sun, have expressed a willingness to
let their neighbors, the Taxpayers Of
Maryland, pay taxes of 81 cents so that
part of the revenue derived therefrom
Can make greater an already great uni
versity.
During one session or the Legislature
in the term of Governor Warfield the
State tax rate was as low as IA cents and
for many years the rate fluctuated about
16 or II cents. AT that time the cost Of
living was not as high as it now is and
rate of 81 cents was at that time re-
garded as practically imp >ssible with
proper management of State affairs"
