Take Up Peace Plan

Attention was directed to the recently
announced peace plan of Secretary Bryan
which has progressed far enough to re-
oeive favorable first notice from sew
eral countries. The Bryan plan. in the
opinion of many senators, would not prove
binding at all in cases of serious diff
culties and might. therefore, not be sub
jected to the sharp criticism brought out
today If it is laid before the Senate.
The ratification of a treaty by the Sen
ate requires a two-thirds vote and those
opposed to the British treaty and to gen
eral arbitration agreements, believed to-
night that it would be difficult to find a
sufficient number of hearers to indorse

A Pleasant Dance

Among the many delightful dances
which have taken place during the
Summer, one of the largest and most
pleasant was that at the Grange Hall,
on Wednesday evening. July 25rd. by
Messrs. Edmund Fairfax, Clarence M.
Roberts and William Roberts, three Of
our most popular young men. Their
popularity was made known by their
many friends who were present and
the dancing continued until early in
the morning, when even then the
dancers were loathed to leave.
The music was rendered by the Or
chestra from theBelascoTheatre, Wash
ington, D. c., and the latest selections
enjoyed by all. A delicious supper
and refreshments were served at mid
night.
Among those present were-Mrs.

COUNTRY TOWNS LEAD

1t is curious to note that of
those prominent in social, politi-
cal, and literary life today the
great percentage come from the
country or small country towns.
This statement holds true in
regard to the past, also. World
figures such as Napoleon, Words
worth and Goethe spent their
early days in seclusion and con-
temptation. The country seems
especially fitted to produce great
men. There the habit of refec-
tion is soon formed. They have
time to think, and everything
around helps to give their
thoughts loftiness. The woods
and hills and the broad skies
lend them some of their majesty,
and conspire to raise the mind
above the beaten walks of the
world. In the country, too, in
dividuality, that something which
distinguishes one man from
another and compels us, often
against our will, to say: He is
the greater, is developed. The
charlatan of the town mocks the
dreamer in the strongholds of
nature. Solitary fool, he ex-
claims, and continues on his lit
tie way of pleasure. But the
dreamer feels no loneliness. or if
he does, that very loneliness is
source of pleasure, the depth
OF which the city bred scoffer
will ever be incapable of sound
ing. And in later time, when
the two take their positions in
life, the urbanite, always hedged
about by the trivial and common
place things of the street is
able to follow where his country
solitary, whom he once ridiculed
trlumphantly leads. = Towson

C. C. Magruder Has Inside Track

AS vet, no action has been taken by.
the city and State organization leaders
concerning the nomination for Clerk of
the Court of Appeals. This office is
now held by Mr.. c.. c. Magruder, of
Prince Georges county, who is can
didate to succeed himself, and it is
generally believed that in the end the
organization will support Mr.. Magru-
der for denomination. The names OF
number of Democrats have been men
toned in connection with this nom1na-
ton during the past year, but as yet
none of them have actively entered the
arena. Mr.. Magruder has been can
didate for the past year and he and his
friends have made considerable head
wav. There is no doubt that Mr.. Ma
gruder has made one of the best clerks
in the history of the State. He has IN
| his campaign for reelection not only
the support of the judiciary, but also
the lawyers. He has given his personal
time and attention to the duties OF the
office and it is stated that 1t has oeen
exceptionally well managed during the
past six wears. Mr.. Magruder lives in
Prince Georges county, where he IS a
big factor in Democratic politics. In
addition to having the Democracy OF
his own county behind him. Mr.. Ma
gruder also has the support OF the
Democratic forces in other Southern
MARYLAND counties. The Clerk OF the
Court of Appeals is elected for term
of six years 1t is one of the best offices
within the gift of the people. The can
didates for Comptroller and tor Clerk
of Court of Appeals will be the only
two candidates on the general State
ticket. Telegram.

ORDER OF PuBL1cAr1oN
CHARLES H. DOING, Complainant
VS..
EDWINA D. DOING, Defendant
In the Circuit Court for Prince Georges
County in Equity.
No. 1868 Equity

No. 1853 Equity
THE object of this suit is to procure
J. divorce a vinculo matrimonii by
the Complainant from the Defendant.
The bill states in substance that the
Complainant married the Defendant on
the 22nd. day of September, 1908, and
that no children have been born of said
marriage. That while the conduct of
the Complainant towards the Defen-
dant has always been kind, affectionate
and above reproach, the said defendant
without any just cause or excuse,
abandoned and deserted the Complain
ant in the latter part of December,
1909, and that such abandonment and
desertion has continued for more than
three years uninterruptedly, and is de-
liberate and final, and the separation of
the parties is beyond any reasonable
expectation of reconciliation. That
the Complainant has been resident of
Prince Georges County, State of
Maryland, for period of more than two
years last past, and that the Defendant
is nonresident of the State of Mary
land, and her last known place of resi-
dence was in Geneva, Kane County,
State of Illinois. The Bill prays for
divorce a vinculo matrimonii by the
Complainant from the Defendant and
for general relief.
1t is thereupon on this 22nd.
day of July, 1913, by the Circuit Court
for Prince Georges County in Equity,
ordered that the Complainant by caus
ing a copy of this order TO be inserted
in any newspaper published in said
Prince Georges County once week in
each of four successive weeks before the
Both day OF August, 1913, give notice to
The Defendant Edwina d. Doing of the
object and substance of the Bill of
Complaint filed in this cause, warning
her to appear in this Court either in
person or by Solicitor on or before the
18th day OF September, 1913, to show
cause if any she has why decree should
not be passed as prayed

Big Ballot Next Fall.

There will be six proposed amend
| ments to the State Constitution voted
On at the coming fall election, and the
ballot, consequently, will be unusually
large. Governor Goldsborough issued
his proclamation last week.
The amendments provide for change
in the method of condemning property
for public use in Baltimore; for print
ing bills for the signature of the COVER
nor instead of engrossing them as now
required; for the election of an addl-
tional associate Judge in the third
judicial circuit, composed of Baltimore
and Hartford counties; for the enact
ment of law allowing the penalty for
election bribery upon the vote buyer;
for fixing the salary of the States At
torney of Baltimore city, at SIS, 400 an
nually, that of his deputy at $4,000,
and allowing him such other assistants
at salaries of not more than $1,000, as
the Supreme Bench may determine;
and for authorizing the appointment OF
deputies to the Acknowledgement by
the Legislature.
The amendment changing the method
of condemning property in Baltimore
city provides that the condemnation on
behalf of the city or State, the Legisla-
ture may enact laws for the appoint
ment of appraisers by the court, upon
whose valuation property may be taken.
Should a jury grant the party from
whom the property is taken a higher
sum than that of the appraisers, the
difference also must be paid. But the
property may be taken by the city or
State Immediately upon decision by the
appraisers. The purpose of the amend
ment is to expedite condemnation pro-
ceedings.
The purpose of the amendment al
lowing bills to be printed for the sig
nature of the Governor is to facilitate
the clerical work of the Legislature
and also to lessen the opportunity for
chicanery and fraud in the passage of
legislation. Previously, the engrossing
of bills, particularly toward the close of
the session, was monumental task and
clogged the work of the Legislature.
The amendment giving an additional
Judge for Baltimore and Hartford coun-
ties arises from the tremendous in
crease in the court work of Baltimore
county following the suburban expan-
sion.
The amendment allowing the penalty
OF bribery to be put upon the vote-buyer
alone is generally credited to the pro-
gressive Democratic leaders. They
contended that the vote-buyers were
the more culpable and that if the pen
atty were removed from the seller. it
would be possible to ascertain and con-
vict the buyer.
The authority of the Legislature to
give the Acknowledgement deputies
arises from the demand for abolition of
separate counsel to the various State
boards and for Capitalization of the
States legal department. This is in
the interest of efficiency and economy,
it was claimed.

THE SERVANT QUESTION

In every community in the
State both in towns and in rural
sections, this is the irritating and
unsolVed question, says the
westminster Advocate. It is
exasperating to the last degree,
In the fact that it puts the house
keeplng OF the community prac-
tlcally under the control of the
most thoroughly irresponsible
class In the community, a class
mostly OF colored girls, who as a
rule are too lazy to work in sum-
mer and are too improvident to
provide anything for the pinch
OF winter. These persons think
nothing at all of violating an
engagement to come to work and
nave no regard whatever for
the convenience and comfort of
those who are employing them.
Nor DO they hesitate, one instant
In walking away from a place of
employment, without a moments
notice.
These families who so much
need help, are among the best
families in the community. The
work is not hard and all the sur
roundlngs are refined and agree
able. But no, this does not suit
these worthless, lazy tramps,
VINO prefer to huddle together in
nuts amid filth, rather than be
engaged in respectable work and
be useful in some respectable
family.
Now what can be done in this
matter, is hard to tell. But that
something must be done to i'm
prove the situation is quite GER
tain.
These worthless individuals
must be made to understand
that they are a part of the COM
munity and will not be permitted
to forage and exist here without
contributing something to the
general good. There is no class
in the community that could be
more useful than this very class,
which is now so worthless and
which we are criticising.
We suggest to you that next
winter when these novels will
not be warm enough and the
larders will not be quite satisfac-
tory and an application is made
to you for coal and provisions,
that you carefully examine that
hut and who were there during
the summer, and who were har-
bored there, and if you find that
the class that we have been de-
scribing, found rendezvous there,
don't give them a cent. Let
them go to the Almshouse if they
can get there, and be fed, or
into the middle of the road and
starve, but don't help them.
That there are some honorable
exceptions to this class, we are
glad to know, but we are
dealing with a class, who are
not worthy of consideration and
who deserve severe punishment.
