Want Spanish War Medals.

Claiming that all members of the
First and Fifth Regiments of the
Maryland National Guard as we'll as
of the Maryland Naval Brigade, who
served during the Spanish-American
conflict are entitled to the war medals
authorized by an act of the General
Assembly of 1906, whether or not they
are now in active service or on the
retired list of the guard, a committee
of 10 members of the Spanish War
Veterans Association waited upon
Governor Goldsborough. The com
mittee, appointed at meeting of the
veterans recently held in Baltimore,
consisted of Herbert +. Swindell, A.
E. Roberts, |. S. Ireton, A. P. Thomp-
son, Clarence Ritter, Wilbur F. Coyle,
Robert Waters, Carter L. Bowie,
Charles X SchultZe and Wilbur S.
Thompson. About % other veterans
accompanied the committee on the
trip. The association disagrees with
the Interpretation placed upon the
statute by Acknowledgement Macklin,
who held that only those men now on
the active or retired list of the guard
are entitled to the medals. Under
the ruling of the Adjutant-General ITO
officers and men are to receive the
medals. Those of the veterans not
within either class designated by the
Acknowledgement contend that it was
the intent of the Legislature that all
Of the men who rendered service IN
the war should receive the awards.
Governor Goldsborough expressed
himself as thoroughly in accord with
the views expressed by the committee
of veterans. Adjutant-General Mack
lin was present during the hearing
and made frank statement, in which
he gave it as his understanding that
the law intended to reward only men
now doing active duty or retired
through the usual course. The Gov
ernor suggested that the veterans
might unite in an effort. to secure an
additional appropriations at the COM
ing session of the General Assembly.

Cuts Out Fee For Hanging.

Holding that Chapter 90 Of the Acts
of the Legislature of 1912 is uncon-
stitutional, so far as it provides for q
fee of $500 for the Sheriff Of Anne

a murderer, but declaring the act valid
in other respects, Judge Brashears
rendered an opinion in the Circuit
Court in the injunction suit brought
by w. Edward Cecil against the
Board Of County Commissioners and
Sheriff George T. Beasley.
Beasley will carry the case to toe

Think Before You Speak

If thou thinkest twice before thou
speakest once thou wilt speak twice
the better for it. Better say nothing
than not to the purpose. And, to
speak pertinentliy, consider both what
is fit and when it is fit to speak. In
all debates let truth be thy aim, not
victory, or an unjust interest; and en-
deavor to gain rather than to expose
