Purpose of Mr.. Carusi's Inquiry.

Mr.. Carusi's questioning was evidently
intended to show that the net result OF
the Protective's history was that the
concern ceased existence altogether and
that is one thousand stockholders became
holders of the stock of the Commercial
Fire Insurance Company at about $7.75
a share, a trifie over the book value. and
no commissions We're paid. There was a
loss to the Protective stockholders. said
Mr.. Carusi
Further cross-duestioning was directed
to show that every effort had been made
to sell Protective stock at a minimum
of expense. 1t was limited that Mr..
Tuttle had never made a dollar i'm the
sale of the stock.
Mr.. Carusi asked Mr.. Best as to
whether his criticism of the Commercial
company is not confined to the literature
and expense.
Yes. with the addition of criticism OF
the general underwriting contract
Mr. Carusi and Mr.. Best talked for a
time about expenses. fees, etc.
Mr.. Carusi asked Mr.. Best why he had
dragged" the protective corporation into
the testimony before the committee, and
what effect it would have on the COM
mittee in considering the literature of the

Letter From Washingtonian.

One of the letters received from a Wash
ington lawyer and sent along with the
rest to the governor reads, in part:
Learning that you have interested your
self in abating the great wrong that is
now being perpetrated upon the town of
Hyattsville, the county Of Prince Georges
and the state of Maryland in the matter
of the indiscriminate and wholesale ar
rests and conviction Of automobilists pass
ing through our state, drop you this line
more in the way of encouragement than
to be able to offer any assistance unless
NV purse and professional work can aid
you. in which event you can call upon me
at any time.
NV brother and i have. perhaps, been
extremists in condemnation of what is
known as speeding or reckless driving
anywhere. particularly through densely
populated community. We have always
done what lay in our power TO assist the
law officers of the county and the courts
in seeing that the laws upon the statute
books were observed, and If violated, the
offenders apprehended and punished. We
have been particularly active during the
last few years in trying to break or anne
lforate the horrible conditions existing

attsyille in Prince Georges county, where
the illegal sale Of liquors Sundays and to
minors. together with the wide-open gam

and in contempt of our laws, but with the

"On Saturday, November IL, 1912, about
3 o'clock pm. a machine occupied at the
time by j. Louis Cough, p. Cough Eden,
Miss Jennie V. Hilton. Harvey Hilton and
the chauffeur, Stephen Griffin, was COM
ing from Washington to Baltimore
through Hyattsville. While passing
through the town the car was going very
slowly, as we were looking for some
place to get a bottle OF water. and We
were talking at the time of people having
been fined for speeding at this point, so
all Of us were especially cautious. When
we arrived at about the middle of the
town some one, whom We found later was
the town sergeant ran out and stopped us
with a red flag, and told Mr.. Cough, who
was in charge of the car and our host
on this occas sion, to go before the justice
of the peace, L. o. Wisemann, telling him
he was arrested for speeding. We did not
accompany Mr.. Cough and do not know
personally what occurred there, but We
know as a matter of fact that the car
was proceeding very slowly and had not
been going over eight miles an hour since
we entered the town. In spite of Mr..
Coughs protests the sergeant insisted on
his accompanying him before the justice
of the peace.
20. B. ZanZinger of Hyattsville also
wrote Mr. Barton complaining of the ac-
tions of the .auto-chasers,' and said that
the people of Hyattsville were not in SYM
pathy with them.

THE GLORY OF OUR LAND

In an address on Washington's
birthday Rev. Ley Warwick of Allan
ia made the following observation:
What is the glory of our land?
'In what does our real greatness
lie!
at is not in our sky scrapers, nor
in our railways, nor in our factories
and furnaces belching fire and smoke.
1t is not in our blue-coated and brass
buttoned armies, nor our far-called
naviec.
ut is in the answering integrity of
our men, the virtue of our women, the
piety and purity of our home and our
church life.
HE who would save his country
must first save himself from selfish
ness and Incidence and the love of
ease. We must save our churches,
our schools, our homes and our chill
dren, if we would save our country.
For it is in these things our true
greatness is to be found. 1t is by
these that we are to preserve our
place and power as a people when the
wicked shall be blotted out"

Today, according 10 estimate made
by the official organ of the Automo
bile Club Of America, there are
a million automobiles in actual SER
vice in the United States alone and
according to other reliable estimates
there will be 100000 automobile
manufactured in the United States
during the year 1913.
That is, there is, roughly speaking.
one automobile to every hundred peo.
pie in the country, and there Will be
manufactured in this country this
year one automobile to about every
800 people.
There are, approximately. 300 con
Germs manufacturing automobiles and
as many more making parts and ac-
cessories. The automobile is a famil-
lar sight wherever a vehicle can trav-
ell. while in the cities motor cars are
so common that horse-drawn pleasure

converted to Christianity, they forget
how many vices and crimes, public
and private, still prevail, and that
many of them, public crimes especial
ly which are so clearly offenses
against the Christian religion, pass
without exciting particular indigna-
ton.
THUS wars are waged, and unjust
wars. l do not deny that there may
be just wars. There certainly are;
but it was the remark of an eminent
person, not many years ago, On the
other side of the Atlantic, that it is
one of the greatest reproaches to hui
man nature that wars are sometimes
just. The defense of nations some
times causes a just war against the
injustice of other nations"
So it is in matters of religion as
we'll as in matters of politics, and
sometimes in matters OF local dis
putes our zeal gets the better Of our
judgment and leads us into excessive
criticism and intolerance of language
in measuring up the other side Of the
dispute and the justification therefor
We should always remember that
there are two sides to every question,
and to no one set of individuals is Civ

casting out the mote in our neigh
boris eye we ought to be convinced
that our own is not blinded with
beams.

county seat, is assuming some proper

counties and throughout the state

was held at Melrose TO discuss the
proposed new county. A large dele
cation from Hawthorne attended.

Grove, Waldo and other places were
on hand. The meeting was presided
over by DR.. Frank McRae, one OF Put

teemed citizens. Lee Umberger OF
Hawthorne was elected secretary.
Enthusiastic talks were made by

WILSON AND BRYAN

There can be only one president of
the United States during the next
four years, and that president is
Woodrow Wilson.
Unless Mr.. Bryan is prepared to &C
cept this elementary fact it will be
better for everybody concerned if he
declines to enter the cabinet.
The World believes that Mr. Bryan
as secretary of state could be very
useful to Mr. Wilson, very useful to
the democratic party, very useful to
the country; but Mr.. Bryan cannot eX-
pect to be the whole administration.
He cannot expect to dictate to the
president, to his fellow members of
the cabinet and to congress. He can
not expect Woodrow Wilson to be-
come merely an animated rubber
stamp for William Jennings Bryan.
We hope that some of the rumors in
circulation at Washington do injustice
to Mr.. Bryan. We hope he is not
seeking to do anything so ridiculous
as to make the One-term plank in the
Baltimore platform the decisive test
of any mans democracy or any mans
progressive principles. We hope he
is not threatening to stay out OF the
cabinet unless certain other demo
Gratis are in it. or threatening TO stay
out of it unless certain other demo
Gratis are out Of it. We hope he is not
seeking TO embarrass the Wilson ad-
ministration at the outset by demand
ing the privilege of being its over
lord We hope he has not given the
new president a choice OF Bryan rule
or BRYAN ruin. We hope that all the
disquieting reports that come from
the national capital are the idle Cos
sip Of idle politicians.
The World prefers to think Of Mr.
Bryan as he appeared at the Balti-
more convention, leading one OF the
most brilliant and courageous battles
ever fought against q corrupt, reac-
tionary oligarchy The old Bryan
was often selfish, jealous and yindict
i've. The new Bryan was an inspira-
ton. The example OF disinterested
service that he gave to the country at
Baltimore ought to be lasting.
No man has a right to enter the
cabinet who is not prepared to give
his whole-hearted support to the gen
eral principles and policies of the adj
ministration. No man has right to
enter the cabinet who is not prepared
to sacrifice his opinions about minor
and debatable issues to the great
questions on which the democratic
party was returned to power. No man
has a right to enter the cabinet who
is not prepared to give his best
thought and effort to the work of max
ing the Wilson administration a sue
cess. No man has right to enter the
cabinet whose single ambition is to
manipulate himself into the presiden-
cy of the United States.
1t is for Mr.. Bryan himself to de-
termine whether he wants TO help or
wants to harm. But if his purpose
is to harm, his place is not in the
cabinet of Woodrow Wilson.--World.

That is an awful threat Emory
Speer makes. He declares from the
bench that if new district court is
established, with headquarters at Sa-
vannah. that he will return to Macon
and enter the race for congress. The
great question is whether Speer is
more dangerous in congress than on
the bench. We think that he will be
less dangerous in congress. therefore
hope that he will carry his threat into
execution.
