Governor Crohers induced the Maryland Legislature to

"InfeiItcfuaj UniRfeIIigence Costs
$1,000, 900 An Heur Says Humphreys
From the New York Sun

This is the day of triumph for
intellectual unintelligence declared
representative Humphreys, of Wash
ington, a Republican. in critieising
the President, and the Democratic
party and its policies. Mr.. Humph-
reys took as his text, "Demoera-
cy's Psychological Panic

ty every time ne gets chance in
tones that eNasperate Democrats,
poked fun at prosperity statements"
made by Vice President Marshall and
Secretary Redfield.
THESE authorities do not agree
with the President exclaimed Mr..
Humphreys "The President says the
present depression is merely state
Of mind. The Vice President and Mr..
Redfield declare everything is boom
ing along in the same old way"
Mr.. Humphreys mentioned that the
Vice President gave out his statement
while he was having his nails mani
cured.
THE manicHrist in attendance on
Mr. Marshall must have been a
charming young woman to have SO
influenced Mr.. Marshall that he per-
ceiyed psychological prosperity" says
Mr.. Humphreys.
THE President now admits that the

protest against this reflection by the
President upon the tireless oratorioal
demonstration of efficiency, that vo-
cal creature OF imaginary prosperity,
that vocabulary of the administra-
tion, that suave sophist, the radiant
and serene Secretary of Commerce,
Mr.. Redfield.
HE is an optimistic shouter of
twisted figures, who never met
truth he could not stTangle. nor a fact
he could not vanqush; who daily
performs throughout the country,
demonstrating by doetored' reports
of discredited experts and by spe-
ciaily prepared statistics, that unex-
ampled prosperity is with us"
Mr.. Humphreys then turned his at
tention to Vice President Marshall.
Evening journal., 1914-06-15

The other day, said he, while
having his hands properly held in
beauty Darlor this modest man
shrinkingly declared that the nation
was splendidly prosperous and busi-
ness was good.
What a fascinating female that
must have been tc make the world
look so roseate to our own Thomas
Riley: but, in all fairness, let it be
said that the prosperity ecstasies en-
ioyed by our brilliant and Yoluble
Vice President on that auspicious oc-
casion We're in all probability
psychological Again ask why should
the President contradict such proph-
cts Of prosperity as Mr.. Redfield and
Mr. Marshall?"
Mr.. Humphreys declared that since
the Democrats came into power the
business Of the country had fallen off
about 40 per cent; that freight cars
are idle and millions Of men out of
work
"Of course, all these facts are mere
~ psychological to the President and
the Democratic party which permits
him to do their thinking" said Mr.
Humphreys. We are advised that
the only cure is mere legislation. We
are TO be kept here all this summer
TO strangle what little business there
is left
There is just one consolation.
While they are killing business they
are destroying themselves. Every day
Congress remains in session the bus
mess of the country grows less.
Business men see their markets
gone, factories closing, the fires dy-
out But they should not complain
Let them read the New Freedom or
an essay on free trade or a lecture
on efficiency
Let them read the constitution Of
peace According to the Democratic
viewpoint, what the country needs is
not prosperity. but cheerful state of
mind. The people should take the
faith cure
1T is all question Of the psyeholo-

BUSINESS UNCERTAINTY
keeps Steel PLANT idle

According to ii. r. Wallace, Of this
city, who is interested in the Dia-
mond State Steel plant which was
sold recently to ID. J. Driscoll. of
Reading, Pa, the uncertainty Of leg
islation at Washington is delaying
the opening Of the plant.
Mr.. Wallace said that the iron and
steel business just now is extremely
dull, and he blames the existing con-
ditions on the uncertainty as to what
Congress will do next
"We have been going along making
the plant ready to start operations
ever since Mr.. Driscoll purchased the
property" he said, "and could begin
work in several of the departments
within three to four weeks"
When asked which departments
would begin operations first, Mr..
Wallace said the iron and shop de-
partments we're now, being prepared
for operating and these would prob
ably be started first.
No repairs hfaye yet been made to
the steel mill. IL is understood that
this will be the last department to be
started, more attention being given in
the beginning to the manufacture of
iron.
Who the president of the new com
pany will be- Mr.. Wallace said lie did
not know. He said he would not be
the head of the concern. That the
name of the plant will be changed he
admitted. but added that the name
had not yet been decided upon.

These statements were supported

But so shameful was the state ol

believe, especially since Judge Lind

that any one who criticizes the
Juvenile Court does SC from some
selfish or sinister motive.
The disclosures OF the Women's
Protective League, however, raised
doubts and set people to thinking and
investigating-something they never
did before.
This together with his recent
shockingly false statements in the
East about strike conditions in
Colorado have at last aroused our
people 70 his real character and that
of his Juvenile Court.
The Woman's Protective Leqguc
therefore, desires to call your qtten-

about a year ago, and to predict mis-
speedy elimination from The public
