lish graduated assessment system
with the lowest tax fixed at IS cents
which would apply to the lowest paid
men in the service. Bonding COM
panies, according to Mr.. Morgan, col
lected $4,000 from postal employees
last year, but paid out less than $4,000
leaving as their net profit $4,000.
Our government is not expected to
be a money-maker. If it started in
the bonding business, il would require
an army of additional employees while
at the same time from in
dividual enterprises so much business.
Besides, those who had been formerly
engaged in it would be thrown out of
employment, which would be a hard
ship. The government can ruin the
prospects of everybody engaged in pri-
vate lines of business by entering into
business. pursuits itself if it so wills.
The only thing that might keep it from
doing so would be the consideration
that such action would be against pub
lie policy.

The Same Old Maryland.

Maryland intends to live up to the
reputation of being one of the most
doubtful States in the Union in Presi-
Dental campaign. Lincoln carried the
State in 1864. Maryland returned to the
Democratic column and remained there
by gradually decreasing majorities until
Mr.. Mckinley carried the State against
Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and again in 1900
In the last two Presidential election,
the electoral vote of the State has been
split. Charles J. Bonaparte being the
one Republican elector who was elected
in the Roosevelt campaign of 1904. and
four years ago two Taft electors
were chosen, one of them receiving the
highest vote cast for any elector. The
Republican plurality in the State four
years ago was COS.
When the Democratic National Con-
vention adjourned in July the State
was generally conceded to Wilson
to-day it is claimed" for the Demo-
cratic candidate, and the Democrats
realize that they are confronted with
real fight in order to make their
claim good. Six weeks ago the Repub-
licans, of the State believed that all that
could be expected of them was to make
a showing and keep their organization
together They did not expect victory.
To-day they say that anything may hap
pen between now and election day and
they have inaugurated vigorous CAM
paign.
Very reprehensible, however, is the
religious cross-current in Maryland.
Politicians deliberately are dragging in
to the political arena the religion Of
the candidates and making capital of it.

FIVE POSTMASTERS

Parcel Post Law Discussed with
Officials from Largest Cities

The postmasters OF the five largest
cities OF the United States, Edward NJ

Accompanying the postmasters were

Dodging the Issues.

1--WE are a great industrial people.
We cannot longer escape facing the
questions that necessarily arise with the
growth of modern industries" said
Col. Roosevelt at Springfield, Ill.
The same old catch-vote phrases. Is
there a thinking man who has any de-
sire to evade the vital questions of the
hour? Does the ex-President know of
anybody who is lodging the ISSUES
which are before US every hour of every
day? We could not escape them if we
would
For score of years the solution of
the problem created by capital and labor
has engaged the highest thought and
best endeavor of some of the brightest
and most disinterested minds in the
country When Roosevelt was denounc-
ing Socialists as enemies of the gov
ernment they were earnestly striving
for a better understanding between
those who employ and those who toll.
Ten years ago William Randolph Hearst
was advocating the very same "princi-
Piles" for which the chief Bull Moose
says he himself now stands, and was
denounced "as the last word in yel-
low"
When consistent -Progressives were
first aroused to the urgent and exact
ing needs of our complex civilization,
those needs were sneered at How it
must gall those brave pioneers to have
all the fruits Of their patriotic labors
stolen and to hear the larceny applaud
ed by the throng! Mr.. Roosevelt is not
leader-a pathfinder He is trailer.
but he makes so much noise that many
otherwise reliable people regard him
as the leader of the band.

CUBA ASKS j. s.
TO RUN ELECTIONS
Conservative Party Would Have
America Supervise Presidential
Balloting and Grant Loan.

Havana. Sept. 25.-The American gov
ernment must take hold of the coming
elections as 1t did the voting for Presi-
dent after the overthrow of the Palma
administration and must grant and su-
pervise a new loan of several millions
If Cuba is to be maintained as re-
public. according to an appeal by the
conservative party to the American Le-
CATION to-day. Charge d'Afaires Hugh
S. Gibson will present the appeal to the
State Department at Washington.
Following Mr.. Gibson's demand on the
Cuban government for payment Of the
$4,000 installment now due on the
Havana sewer and paving works the di-
lemma of the Cuban government became
public. To meet this. which Is a month
" payment. and which will be nearly
doubled by the next installment, the Co.
mez government must either cut the civil
expenses so per cent or apply to the
United States for permission TO create
a bonded debt in addition to that already
carried.
In the first event. the government fears
results of such action in the coming
elections; in the second, the American
government is almost sure to refuse the
appeal for a loan. unless provisions are
made for its disbursement under Ameri-
can supervision. a thing humiliating TO
Cuban national pride. In this crisis the
conservatives to-day came forward with
the appeal to the legation.

II Would Be Paternalism.

1t cannot be too often brought to the
attention of the public that the gov
eminent does not exist for the purpose
of making money The revenues it de-
rives from whisky and tobacco and
from its tax on imports are used to
defray its expenses, and this is as il
should be. 1t does not lie within its
sphere to enter on lines of private
business. If, for instance, bonding
companies are making money out OF
their business of becoming surety for
government employees, it is a matter
that concerns only the companies and
their patrons. The government has
enough to do without bothering with
such things, or it would become pa
ternal. That would, no doubt, be
odious to the American people.
The suggestion of Postmaster Nor
gan, of Lynchburg, in an address before
the convention of frst-class postmas-
tiers that the government should bond
its own employees, thus eliminating
surety companies, is not acceptable in
q republic. The speaker would estab-

FIRST SIGHT OF AEROPLANE
DRIVES ARAB INSANE: TRIES
TO MURDER COMMANDER

Tripoli. Sept. 25.-Driven insane from
fright by his first sight of an aeroplane
in the sky. an Arab soldier in the Aurk-
ish camp near Zanzur Oasis attempted TO
kill Enverby, the Turkish commander
in-chief. according to dispatches from
the front to-day.
The Arab fired a muzzle-loading army
musket at the Turkish commander. but
the shot missed its mark and the mad
man was overpowered before he could
renew the attack.
The aeroplane was taken to the camp
of Gen. Reisoli from Derna and has been
used daily by two members of the ayia-
ton corps for scout duty and to pre-
vent surprise attacks from bands of ma
tives who are constantly Joining En-
verby's main force.
One Of the military aviators flew al
most over the Turkish camp and vol
planed near enough to earth to fire his
service revolver into group of Arabs
who had apparently just come from the
Hinterland. and. unlike their more
sophisticated brethren along the coast
had never before seen one of the Italian
areoplanes in flight.
The Arabs fell upon their faces in the
sandy desert afraid to move. After a
time. one of the men jumped to his feet
and with loud shouts ran to a tent and
seized a musket. The Arab. concealing
the musket beneath the flowing skirts
of his native garments, approached Gen.
Enverby and fired at him point blank.

The Washington herald., 1912-09-26

The work Of The Advocate in The
Washington Herald's $4,000 contest is
daily increasing in amount. Because OF
the large number of persons who have
entered the competition recently the votes
are coming into the office in much larger
streams Yesterday The Advocates as
sistants were kept busy from early morn
ing until we'll after dark.
Despite the fact that the contest has
been in progress for nearly month,
there are many persons who are still en-
tering the race. The competition Is open
to the readers Of The Washington Herald
for entrance at any time A person may
start the race the LIST OF February. II he
SO chooses, but of course, that would be
a most foolish step to take. The earlier
the competitor leaps forward from the
starting point. the better chance he viii.
have of winning one of the $50 valuable
awards. The Herald's contest is much
like a foot race. The course Is a long
one and those who expect TO run its
length nobly and bound across the finish
victorious must put all Of their energy
into the contest.
The Advocates system Of recording
votes is now in full operation. and many
contestants have praised II highly. When
ever a competitor calls at the ONCE to
deposit votes or mediums OF exchange he
is given two memorandum slips These
slips were designed especially for the
contest by The Advocate At the top are
spaces for the name. address, and dis
trict number OF the person for whom the
votes are to count. There is also date
line. The remainder OF the slip Is di-
vided into four columns. The first is for
the number OF labels. trademarks. or
other mediums Of exchange. The second
is for a description of the mediums; that
is. whether box tops. cartons, milk stop
pers. bottle caps. trademarks or labels
The third column is for the number OF
votes given in return for the particular
