At the Bottom of the Unrest.

We hear men express wonder concern
ing the underlying reasons for the great
popular unrest in this country. Living IS
high, of course, but so are wages and
work is plenty. Why should there be so
much, so very much, discomfort among
the people?
Look for moment at the story of the
governments prosecution of the Sugar
Trust, the final chapter of which was told
III recent news dispatches. This great,
bloated, over-protected combination,
controlling the market for one of the nee
essities Of life, was caught stealing. Its
crimes were series of miserable, sneak
ing, lowdown thefts-no mildei term will
fit. Yet, in the opinion of government
officials, criminal prosecutions were not
warranted, and the trust has been let off
with a few fines, which may mean as
much to it as the loss of couple of dol
lars would mean TO a day laborer. II a
day laborer had committed correspond
ing offenses he would have been sent to
the penitentiary for 10 years.
Persons high up in big business or big
politics may think the common people
don't see those things or. seeing, don't
resent them, but they do. The bitter
feeling that there are two standards Of
Justice in this country, one for the rich
and grand and one for the poor and hum
bic is at the very bottom Of tine prevail
ing spirit of unrest.-Ohio State Journal.

Must be Is to Operate Auto.

The refusal on the part of State Motor
Vehicle Commissioner, Harry A. Roe,
to issue an operators license to little
Anna Eugenia Knell, because she IS
under IS years OF age, has brought
about considerable comment, but Com
missioner Roe SAID that he is determln-
ed to carry out the law on which, he
saws that the Atorney-General has ruled.
Many persons do not know that by the
action of the last General Assembly
many of the laws under which motor
vehicles were operated have been re-
repealed.
Mr.. Roe issued the following state
meet:
The last session of the Legislature
passed an amendment TO the Automo-
bile Law, which reads as follows:
"Section 40, Acts of 1912; No person
under the age of IS years shall operate,
drive or direct any automobile, motor
car ,taxicab or motor truck propelled by
gas, gasoline, steam or electricity upon
any road, highway. street, lane or other
public way within the State of Maryland.
The penalty for the violation OF the pro-
visions of this Act shall be a fine OF $40
for the first offense and of S25 for the
second offense and a fine OF 500 or so
days Gin Jail for subsequent violations.
ANY Justice OF the Peace having criminal
jurisdiction shall have full authority to
try and determine all violations eff this
act as aforesaid
The language OF this section is per
fecty clear, and as Commissioner |

this matter, No person under IS years

censed driver, owner, or any one else.
can drive or operate car upon any OF
the highways of this State. However,
much of hardship this may seem, my
duty is plain. and must insist that this
amendment to the law be carried out.
The. seems to be- confusion in the
minds of some peop.e in the State, that
the old iau. which made it discretionary
with tin, Commlss, oner to issue a license
under The aye is still in effect, but take
the positive position that no person under
is years of age, shall drive or direC. a
car, NO matter by whom they are ac-
Compiwed.

those of her class will SHOW that they
have as lull control of themselves as
they hive Of the automobile by refrain
ing from driving until they reach the age
prescribed by law. and thereby save
themselves from the penalties of the

Building a Road.

Another illustration of the general rec
ignition of the value of good roads, and
the determination to have them. is at,
forded by the action OF the citizens of
Ravendon Springs, Arkansas, and the
surrounding country in closing all of the
stores and offices eight hours each day
for week in order that all hands might
turn out and build pike road from
Ravendon Springs, TO Ravendon, a sta
ton on the Frisco, a distance of nine
miles, without a cent of cost to the
county The building of the road is
under the supervision of an experienced
road engineer, and the assurance is
gwen that all done will be substan-
tal and permanent. Business men,
preachers, lawyers. doctors, and people
of other walks of lite, represented in the
territory involved are joining in the
work, giving freely OF their time and en-
ergies. This is not the first instance
within the last year or two. of a whole
community turning road builders and
donating time and effort to the con-
struCtion ola desired road. 1t is a meas
ure which may not be necessary in many
communities, and fortunate are they;
but the fact that is forthcoming in places
where it does seem necessary or advis-
able is a gratifying commentary on the
civic spirit OF American citizenship

Congress Passes Pension Bill

The residents of Frederick county.
who for their service during the war
receive pension from the government,
will be glad to know that at last the
deadlock between the Senate and the
House OF Representatives has been
broken and the Pension Bill has passed.
For more than two months, the two
branches OF the Federal Legislative body
has been at loggerheads.
This state of affairs has been felt in
this city, where there are a large number
OF pensioners. For over two months
past, the most of them have not received
their money. The vouchers for the pen
sionS are dated about the fourth of each
month, and the check for the money
usually comes from a day to a week
later, depending on the distance which
the penSloner lives from the pension
agency which disburses the money.
When the July pension failed TO ap.
pear, there was considerable excitement
among the old vets" for they could
not understand the cause of the DELAY.
In fact it is very hard for the ordinary in
dividual to understand that Uncle Sam
can eyer go broke. But such was surely
the case in regard to the Pension Bureau.
Many OF the old pensioners came to
Frederick and went TO see those who
always attend to their pension papers to
find out what was the matter. MIR. c.
H. Eckstein, who has been a Pension
Agent for number of years, wrote to
Congressman David J. Lewis at the
urgent request of some of his clients.
Mr.. Lewis wrote back that the two leg.
isative bodies were dead locked and
that as result the pension appropria-
ton had been held up and these was not
enough money in the Pension Bureau TO
pay ali of the pensions.

THE CORRUPTION IN THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS
SINCE 1896.

There is great interest and universal
discussion now engaging the public at
tention on the subject of the corrupt use
of money in our Presidential elections, at
and during the election Of 1896, and down
to the present election campaign.
1t is well remembered by the people
that a the election in 1896, William Nc
Klnley was the Republican candidate
and William Jennings Bryan was the
Democratic candidate. 1t will be re-
called that in that campaign the Republ-
cam manager was Mark Hanna, a
United States Senator from the State Of
Ohio.
1t was, and is now conceded that it
was the most corrupt election that was
ever held in the history of our country.
In that campaign Mr.. Bryan was the most
unjustly abused and criticised man that
