The Coed Old Days

Once upon a time it was the Gus
tom for a youth to bind himself TO a
stern, skilled master as an apprentice
until such day as ne should attain his
majority or until such time as he
should master his trade and he sery-
ed his employer much as a slave his
owner for the contracts were strict
Little by little the apprentice sys-
tenn declined, the working day was
shortened, the half holiday and the
holiday fell more frequently, the
wage was bettered and the condition
of labor made more agreeable.
Even that man whose hours are
long and whose work is heavy finds
a leisure and an opportunity un-
known to his ancestors. Still we sigh
now and them for the good old days
It is interesting in this regard to read
thoughtfully a contract made years
ago between a youthful apprentice
and his employer. tinsmith:

The development of water power is
growing question and one that is
much misunderstood If Vermont
waits for the state to develop the
water powers within her borders,
Vermont will wait long time, for
the reason that there are more calls
on the state treasury now than can
be supplied Most of these calls are
in behalf of worthy Cbjects and
many of them are really imperative.
1t would cost not less than a hundred
millions of dollars TO develop even a
few OF the principal water powers of
the state and such an investment
would be a gamble, and risky one
at that As The Banner looks at ii
there are just two ways of doing at
the present time. We can leave the
water powers in a state OF nature or
we can let private capital take them
over and exploit them as best they

own judgment in the matter but, with
the information at hand, we can see
no serious objection TO allowing the
powers to be developed by private
capital under reasonable restrictions
and safeguards, giving the public ser
vice commission control of the dis
tribution in case of conflict and re-
tanning for the public the absolute
ownership and control of all fishing
and camping rights and forbidding
the change of level of any natural
pond without the approval of both the
public service commission and the
commissioner of game and fisheries
Every charter. too should contain
provision that the state may take ii
over at any time at its actual value
at the time taken.

STATE FORCES HELPED
LOCAL PROGRESSIVES
Campaign in Anne Arundel Was
Well Financed.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF $l,5OO.
That Much Turned Over by Mitchell
Diggs, Treasurer-BOlh Sides File
Reports.

That the State Progressive Demo-
crat forces contributed quite bounti-
fully to the late primary election
campaign in Anne Arundel county,
and that the Progressives had at their
disposal, and spent more then twice
as much as the organization wing of
the party that won the fight, is indi-
Gated by the statements filed with
the Clerk of the Circuit Court by
Messrs. Jam IS S. Smith and John R.
Sullivan, the respective treasurers of
the Progressive and Organization
campaign funds.
Under the provisions of the Pri-
mary Election law, thirty days ig the
limit of time allowed for candidates
as we'll as the treasurers to file such
statements. Today was the last day,
therefore, and it is stated that all of
the candidates who entered ths fl Eht
in Anne Arundel have complied with
the law.
The report of Mr.. Smith shows
that the total contributions from all
sjurces, to the campaign OF the Pro-
gressives, was s2,93S. 20, of which
S2,SS3.456 was expended, thus leav-
ing a balance of $50.25; whereas
81, $50 was the total amount contrib
uted to the Organization, as shown in
the report of Mr.. Sullivan. The Or
ganization's expenditures, according
to the report, were 81, S25. so, so that
there remains balance of $3.50 to
the credit of the fund
The reports of both of the tire as
urers are given in detail, showing the
amounts contributed to the funds by
the several candidates and from other
sources. The statement of Mr.. Smith
shows that CIV. Mitchell Digs,
Treasurer, contributed $500 on Au-
gust IS, and that on September 2,
from the same source, $1,000 was
turned into the local Pro gressives'
fund
Eliminating these two contributions,
the amount given to the Progressives'
campaign from local sources was
S103, 20 over and above that of the
Organization fund. The reports also
give in ite mized form the e1pendi-
lures in behalf of both factions.
Treasurer Sullivan's report shows
that the largest Individual contribu-
tions made to the Organization fund
were those of DR.. George Wells, and
Mr.. Sullivan, each of whom gave
s100.

Weather conditions threatened TO

was the case during the last two
years, spe culators have all the tickets
they want, and around hotel Hobbies,
street corners and cafes choice seats
for one or three games could be pur-
chased at a premium.
Owner Gaffney, of the Boston

New York as his home, applied TO
the National Commission yesterday
afternoon for a certain number Of
seats, and was promptly told that
there was nothing doing" as all the
paste boards had been sold in the re-
served sections. "You mean that
most IF the tickets are in the hands
of spectators, don't you?" Gaffnev
asked of the commission.
He was promptly informed that
for once the spectators had not been
able to grab blocks of reserved seats,

LOOKING FOR FORGER.
Detectives on Trail Of Young Mau Who
Forged Instructor Name To Two
Checks.

Detectives are on the trail OF a
young man who has been spending
several months in Annapolis and who
so familiarized himself with the sig
nature of one of the instructors of
the preparatory schools for the Ma.
val Academy that he forged the in
structor's signature in such q per-
feet manner as to deceive two banks.
Ihe banks decline tc give out the
name of the forger, for reason at
this time. 1t is known, however,
that each bank cashed a check for
$3.50 for the young man who present
ed it with the signature of the in
structor, who is a large property
owner here. The deception was .
clever one, and the signature an exact
counterpart of the name forged to
these checks.
: 1t sis needless to say the young
man accused of the forgery has left
for parts unknown, but detectives
are on his trail, and the entire affair
is expected TO be in few days
