When Button. Wsro Bio.

Bachaumont writes in his Secret
Memoirs" Nov. lS, 1886: 1.-THE mania
for buttons is today extremely ridlcu-
lous. They are not only of enormous
size, some Of them as big as six pound
crowns, but miniatures and pictures
are made Hpon them, and this Orna-
mentatlon is extremely costly, Some
of them represent the medals Of the
twelve Caesars, others antique stat
ues and still others the Metamor-
phoses Of Ovid" Isabey, in his bio
graphical notes, says that when he
came to Paris he worked for a living
by making copies Of Vanloos and
Bouchers on the lids Of snuffboxes
and that for these medallions he was
paid from @ to francs each, "As it
was still the fashion" he sald ito
wear buttons as big as five franc
piece upon which cupds, flowers and
landscapes were cut in cameo, went
into that business, got IL sous for
each."-Phlladelphia Ledger

At Sixty

A majority of men at sixty years
of age are dependent on their daily
earnings or their children for sup
port.
At sixty years, and often sooner,
a mans earning capacity is reduced
to the minimum, for no one wants
the "old man" and he is crowded to
the rear by the younger men and he
can secure only the hardest, most
disagreeable work and at the small
est pay. .s
You can be independent at sixty If
you open your bank account today.
You can start with one dollar.
Don't put it off-get the savings
habit; it pays, and you will get lots
of pleasure out of watching the nick
els and dimes grow into dollars and
the dollars into hundreds of dollars

THE PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM.
Advocates Initiative and Referendum.

Baltimore, Md, Sep. 80, 1918.
To the Editor of the Evening Capt.
tai, Annapolis, Md.
Dear Sir-The Progressive plat
form advocates the initiative and
referendum, as follows;
Insugurate constructive legisa-
ton and destroy corrupt and incom-
petent legislation by the initiative
and the refe rendum. By the exer-
else of these powers the people can
take up and decide all vital social
questions for themselves. The grant
of this plain right to the people is
refused them by the dominant party
of this State.
It is but fair to say that the Dem
ocratic party has not refused" TO
grant the right of initiative and ref
erendum to our people. They have
endorsed it inferentially in their
platform in several places, as when
they declared for the principles of
Woodrow Wilson and Bryan, and
when they pledged the party TO keep
MARYLAND abreast with the progress
sive legislation of other states.
A specific declaration for the in
itiative and referendum even strong
er than the Progressive plank was
adopted by the Democratic Resolu-
lions Committee and was finally
omitted only by the frantic efforts
of John Walter Smith and Carville
d. Benson, both of whom have shown
total misspprehension of Democ-
racy on more than one occasion.
That the day of these reaction
aries is passing must be evident to
everyone. The time is at hand when
Democrat who opposes the Initia-
tive and referendum is counted as
FALSE to the party principles as the
Democrat who votes for protective
tariff.
The omission of direct allusion
to the initiative and referendum
must be accounted great weakness
in the Democratic platform; but
many of the Democratic candidates
have already promised to support
an initiative and referendum amend
ment and the fundamental Demo-
Gratis throughout the State will vote
on,r for those who are known to
favor ut. To do otherwise would be
to stulifyNheir own convictions.
The greatSyitaIity of the Mary
and democracy manifests itself in the
sturdy independents of the rank and
file. They will not be led by the
nose by a few party sreactionaries !;
and they are now looking. for assur-
ance from the individual candid ltes
that the peoples rule" party will
support the real rule of the people
by means of the initiative and refer
endum.
