THE STATE MUST co SLOW ON
SPENDING

o. and one-half millions for the Johns
Hopkins Technical School, one-half mil
hon Tor the new Fourth Regiment Ar
mory, one hundred thousand for the
Maryland State Agricultural school,
thousands upon thousands for all sorts
of educational, philanthropic, elecomosy
nary institutions, a new appropriation Of
several millions for stone roads-thus
the list runs along, until one finds that
the proposed requests for State aid at
the hands OF the Legis azure would en-
tail appropriations, in bond issues or
otherwise, OF some ten to eleven millions
of dollars. That means, 1T NECESSAR-
lily MEANS, a very considerable in
crease in the State tax rate. The States
financial condition Is such that these pro-
jected measures cannot be enacted with
out very decided increase of the tax
rate. And that is matter to make
careful Legislators halt. One wonders
where the burden of taxation is TO end.
1t Is quite possible 20 impose upon
State rate viii not only dis
tresses rs own people, but which makes
prospective purchasers of real estate
shun investments in the State on the
ground of its excessive tax rate. The
present rad in many quarters seems to be
to plunge blindly ahead with every $50
called progressive movement, without
much consideration OF the burden it i'm
poses upon taxpayers or it's possible eff
feet in depreciating real estate values.
Maryland is not State of large assess
able basis. Many things which might
see'I desirable in themselves are not
within the reach of our income, and IN
CONE OUGHT TO BE CONSIDERED.
Something of the same wise thought and
forethought, which governs the individ-
ual in his personal or business affairs,
should govern the conscientious repre-
sentative in his conduct of public affairs.
A man, or State, should indulge in only
that which he can afford

can find its final expression, 1t must pass
the muster OF accredited representatives
and written guarantees. This ia the only
consistent doctrine on which to meet the
argument Of the Columbus speech. II
this government Of ours Is a pure demo-
cracy, then one finds 1t difficult to dis
pute the Roosevelt conclusions. But 1t
Is NOT a pure democracy. And 1t is not
pure democracy because the men who
made 1t distrusted the fitness OF all the
people for self-government. And proper
ly so. That may not be popular political
philosophy, but 1t is sound and wise, and
needs emphasis today Universal suff-
rage is universal folly Ito borrow Car
lyle's phrase) unless something comes
between the masses and governmental
expression. Government by popular ma
jorities, under direct vote, Is the OPP
portunity of the demagogue and the death
knell of genuine liberty Pure demo-
cracy is pure destruction-or one must
cut many pages oLt of the worlds his
tory and fling reason to the winds.
We yield to no man in admiration for
Col. Roosevelt, or in recognition of his
political strength and worth.
We resent any contemptuous estimate
of his Columbus speech-it said too many
splendid things that need to be said and
said with Rooseveltian vlgor.
We understand the things which well
up in the hearts of men when they hear
his valiant cry for social Justice, in this
age, when social Justice is the para
mount issue of political government.
The things that Roosevelt is after
are the things the world wants and the
things the world WILL HAVE.
But it can never have them by the way
of a pure democracy. That has ever
more been via dolorosa leading to the
cruc!fxion of mems hopes.
Wise men will heed and respect Col.
Roc sevelts diagnosis: they will dispute
the propriety Of his treatment. Indeed,
reading carefully between the lines of
the Columbus speech, we doubt the Col
onels satisfaction himself with the
treatment he suggests.

The oper- ator says that we received only one call. The silence after the first fran tic appeal for the relief was omnibus to me.
 "Our Marconi sent out rays, that scraped the sky ill vain, but there was no response whatever to any of our inquiries. I swung the Carpathia to the position of the Titanic's first ae- rogram that she occupied. Our en7 zines were put at top speed.

When the first faint daylight came and knew we were still miles away from the spot of the tragedy I felt as if We should arrive 1 too late to be of any service.
 "When, however. after full daylight we sighted the first life boat filled with women and children and eigh' or ten strong arms and brave hearted men of the Titanic's crew 1 realized that we could at least save few hu- man lives. I was too busy for the next hour or so to recall now just what occurred. My mind was wholly set upon saving the lives of the sur vivors.,'

FINAL CHAPTER
 OF GREAT DISASTER
(Continued From Page One.)

The officers and crew pusied them selves rousing the passengers, and it was decided to place two men and children in the life boats.
 At 12:15 the boats were put over the side. Those who remained on board were not awake to the fact that they were in peril and presumed that the measure was precautionary.
 As the boats rode away from the Iii tanic everything on the liner could be cleally discerned by those in the life boats. Drifting around at $ safe dis tance from the Titanic they awaited developments.
 At 2:20 the Titanic suddenly rose i'll the middle and bow and stern plunged downward into the ls1ea The survivors declared the final plurge the Titanic as free from suction. It seemed, as though the giant liner had with it's back broken, the fore and af- ter parts glided gently into the sea.
 There were sixteen life boats, one smashed as soon as lowered. Scores jumped over and some were pulled into the life boats. Those ill the life boats could see plainly every detail of the sinking. The Titanic's side must have been cut open as if by a can opener. She slipped under quiet ly after breaking in two in the mid dle.
 The condition of the survivors on the Carpathia is grave, from shock and exposure None with frozen feet or any mangled persons were picked up except one man with a broken alm.
 Bruce Ismay went with the life boats in the first place, although the crew of the liner was unwilling to leave the Titanic, believing that the Titanic was in little danger
 The last seen of John Jacob Astor was when seen talking to his wife before she took to the life boat.
 Tl(e last in1 1orma4 jon concerning Major Butt was that the gallant off ce- was with group of ship officers nnd passengers on the upper deck, as the giant of the seas sank.
