Just cause for congratulation in
being represented in Congress
by a man of the ability of Hon.
James Harry Covington of the
First District. This has been a
strenuous session of Congress,
and the great men in it have
necessarily come to the front.
None of them showed TO a bet
ter advantage than did our own
Congressman. Mr.. Covington
is on the job all the time and he
faithfully watches every meas
IRE before Congress, in the in
terest of the people of Mary
land. He has made a record
for oratorical ability and as a
clear thinker that has created
a demand for his services in
other States during the Presi-
Dental campaign. However
this may be, Mr.. Covington will
appear before the people of his
district and gladly give account
of his stewardship. Covington
is all right.

The Three Candidates.

All of the principal candi.
dates for the Presidency take
about the same position with
reference to the high cost of
living. They realize that it is
a big question that demands in
vestigation before any complete
remedies can be proposed.
But it is a unique feature of
this campaign that, so far as
the other big issues are CON
cerned, Woodrow Wilson, by
reason of his past record and
his personal character, by rea-
son of what he proposes to do
and the probability that he will
be able to carry his proposals
into effect, stands head and
shoulders above both of his OPP
ponents. AS we have said be-
fore, they have each been able
to make out a good case against
the other, but neither has been
able to make out case against
the Democratic candidate,
Mr.. Taft's relations to the re-
dictionaries are matters of COM
mon knowledge. He received
a denomination by their grace.
So, too, his relations with the
political bosses, who are the
servants of the Interests" Mr..
Roosevelt's relations to Morgan
and Perkins, to Finn and other
bosses are equally well known.
But Mr.. Wilson has no rela-
tions with either. He refused
Mr.. Bryan's money and he
fought and whipped the bosses
of his own State. His nomina-
ton at Baltimore was a clear
triumph of the popular will and
when elected he will be respon.

General Miles Arraigns
Roosevelt.

General Miles, the most noted
military figure in this country,
a hero Of the Civil war, a man
of notable attainments, has
written a scathing denounce-
ment of Roosevelt, the follow
ing extracts from which show
what he thinks of him, and the
questions now before the Amer
lean people. General Miles
says:
at is a question whether the
Constitution, the statutes and
principles of our government,
created and maintained by the
wisdom and patriotism Of the
past century, shall continue. or
whether all shall be thrown
down and replaced by visionary
theories, impracticable ideas,
and the concentration of all po-
litical power. with the control
of all public and private inter-
ests at the National Capitol.
This for the qualification of the
mad, selfish ambition of one
man who for years has been
aspiring and intriguing to be-
come a dictator.
Under our Constitution and
system of representative gov
eminent, principally admins
tered by two great political par
ties, our country has been bless
ed with an almost continuous
career of prosperity. Yet we are
told that our Constitution, now
acknowledged the world over
as the greatest ever framed by
human wisdom, is defective and
should be made subject to fire.

inefficient and worthless. Not
withstanding this, in accord
ance with a well-established
custom. the two great political
parties have held their national
conventions, published their
declaration of principles, and
designated eminent statesmen
as candidates for the highest
position of trust and RESPONSE
bility. men who will command
the respect and confidence of
the American people.
For months an ex-president
struggled to become the candi-
date of one of these conven-
tons.
To the Republican party he is
indebted for all that he is, and
from that party and the Ameri-
can people has received the
highest honors to which he was
never entitled Not being sue
cessful we now see him ruth

party and the sacred traditions
of our government, and openly
and unblushingly violating his
own sacred word of honor. |
trust that our countrymen will
think deeply and act wisely be-
fore they permit our govern
ment to follow the fate that has
befallen other republics.
No usurper or despot ever
succeeded until the people of
the country were in a condition
and mood to pass under the ty
ranny of a dictator. The change
from servitude and oppression
on the part of a people to liber-
ty and independence is wrought
by violence, heroic deeds and
great sacrifice.
The change from democracy
to despotism is slow. subtle, in
sidious and fatal. The usurpa-
ton, the tyranny, the spolia-
ton of the Cesars, the two Ma
poleons, Cromwell, Robespierre
and Diaz, was all accomplished
under the name and pretense
of a republic. False prophets
have arisen and demagogues
have flourished, but never be.
fore has one appeared in our
country possessing the worst
elements of both, and at the
same time consumed with his
own selfish ambition. This is
the true character of Theodore
Roosevelt, the present candi'
date of his own misnamed Pro.
gressive party. The American
citizens need only to look at his
record to recognize the most
colossal fraud that this country
has ever produced, and the most
unfit man for the responsible
and dignified Office of president
Lacking the qualities anC
characteristics requisite to d
proper discharge of the duties
of that high office, and having
