BAR ALL PRIVATE PROPERTY

A German writer, DR.. A. Grotjahn,

in births in France, has found pro.

die, near Dunkirk This is a colony
founded more than 200 years ago by
Louis XIV. with a system of land
tenure which does not permit private
ownership of the soil. DR.. Grotjahn
says "The men of Mardic marry, on
an average, at twenty-four years of
age, Immediately after having passed
the obligatory service in the navy
When a new family has thus been
founded it receives for exclusive use,
but not as private property, a plot
of land of % acres and a section of
shore for net fishing. The fami.
lies may leave to their children the
land handed to them in usufruct but
they may not divide or mortgage it.
The result is that Mardic possesses
prosperous population, free of ma,
terial cares, which does not rack its
brain on behalf of its children's fate,
While the rest of the peasants and
fishermen of France are particularly
anxious in this respect. The births
amounted to 43 per 1000 of the in.
habitants, a figure which is not sur.
passed by any civilized people"

In an address before the Eleventh
Ward Democratic Club, De Courcy W..
Thorn. for many years champion OF the
cause OF home rule and equal represen-
tatIon for Baltimore City, delivered a
stirring address on the proposition of in
creased representation for this city in the
Legislature. The cause is one that is
close to the heart of Mr.. Thorn. for he
believe that this handicap and the high
tax rate which results from it are the
cause OF Baltimore not going forward
and Maryland's retrogression. Upon
this lack of majority rule he blames the
loss to this CITY Of the many manufact-
urers who, looking for field, decide to
locate elsewhere than in Baltimore.
"tour-ttths of the manufacturers who
come to Baltimore to study conditions
here finally decide to settle in Phila
delphla," Mr.. Thorn said. Property

It's do not increase, population does not

A Sensible Proposal.

Representative Moon. of Tennessee,
chairman OF the House Committee on
P0stotl1ces and Post Roads. has intro
duced a bill providing for amendments to
the postal laws, which are stated to have
the approval of the postmaster general.
One OF them is of special importance to
the public 1t provides that money or
ders may be cashed at any poStoffice in
stead at a specified postoffice, as at pres.
ent. There has never been any satifac-
tory explanation why this change has not
been made long ago. Travelling men and
others have frequently been placed at
great inconvenience through the receipt
OF money order in letter which had
been forwarded TO distance from the
first address. The money order could be
cashed only at the specified office, and
yet the money which it represented had
been paid over to the government, to-
gether with the fee for the order. The
money order ought to be good for its face
at any postoffice in the country 1t would
be great convenience III certain cases,
but the privilege would not be likely to
be used so extensively as to cause any
large amount of extra work. Business
houses, doing business at one address,
would of course, continue to cash the
money orders received by them at their
local postotfices, as they do now-Man-

Look here!" Massenet would say
eventually, giving the man the volume

"Splendid!" replied the bookbinder,
and then for his customer and friend
he would devise some fresh wonder
in the art of binding.
One morning Massenet suddenly
learned that his friend was giving up
business. He hurried to his shop

Queen Wilhelmina in her speech
from the throne on the opening OF
the Dutch parliament said that a
measure would be introduced for the
reclamation Of the Zuyder Zee. The
Zuyder Zee was originally lake, and
the scheme is to make it so again by
constructing great dyke across the
entrance OF the Zuyder Zee and then
build three other dykes around the
coast of the Zee, one running nearly
directly north and south and one clos.
ing the western part of the Zee; an.
other from near the southern end Of
the first to point well Up on the
eastern shore, while a third one will
stretch northwest in the direction of
the dyke built across the entrance.
This scheme will not touch the center
of the Zee, which will thus leturn to
it's former condition of a lake.
If the Dutch chambers sanction it
the work will be carried on by means
of public loan in the Netherlands.

1t seems to us like servility, and cring
ing to power and place.
1t ought not to be forgotten by the
voters of Maryland that this is small
State, and not by any means rich
State, and that the people are not able
to pay these unreasonable salaries, which
ought to be what they were fixed at
in the Constitution.
More than that we would get the
same Judges that we now have for the
old salary, and we could find plenty of
lawyers to take their places when they
die.
But when it comes to Johns Hopkins
University and the Judge Pension idea,
there seems to be no limit in the view
of a parcel of fadists in Baltimore City.
IT becomes our painful duty to call
the attention Of the Board of County
commissioners elect relative to the ap-
plintment Of their secretary. The Demo
attic party of Frederick county, has by
a most aggressive campaign, succeeded in
rectiug its ticket, thus rescuing from
c dominant party of the county the
election machinery so long manipulated
.y our Republican friends. TO accom-.
p ish results some sacrifices mnst be
mace Election promises and relation
ship must be thrown aside and only the
welfare Of the party for the present and
the future considered. If a majority
cannot be secured for either Of the two
gentlemen now in the lead for the
cIerkship, then drop them both, and
take up some one congenial to all.
Frederick county has some splendid ma
tcrial to select from, and a most compe.
tent secretary can he secured from the
field, and thus save the disgrace Of a
split in the party after the glorious vic
tory on November 4th. We urgently
appeal to the County Commissioners elect
to get together and make the appointment.
and not deal with the Republican mem
b.r, to srti.fy their selfish motives.

Then with bowed heads and
hearts from which hope was
preparing to flee, we entered a
coming tower through a stained
glass portfolio.

because it was good for sore
eyes.
An abrupt person with a
dropping moustache met us
abaft the quarter deck and be-
gan to mention large sums of
money commencing with $4,000
year and going on up and up
till he bit his tongue.
We nearly swallowed our pal
ates and fell back two PAGES to

When the abrupt person
paused for a moment at ga du-

turned and ran like a couple of
jackrabbits on the way home to

Two blocks away we fell un-
der the spell Of a shack called
the Ipseydooza.
A Cuban refugee met us at
the door and dared us to come
in.
We were offered an apartment
on the eleventh floor which had
never been occupied. The rea-
son was obvious. The walls were
too close together. 1t might be
success as a place to press au-
tumn leaves, but not as a place
to live in unless the tenants
went through life standing up.
We therefore declined with
thanks and walked out back

ban refugees.
Presently Peaches found a
pippin. 1t was a gingerbread
rookery with seven rooms and
four landlords.
