Exempts Cecil County.

By the provisions OF bill intro
duced in the House by Mr. Letter,
Cecil county is exempted from the pro-
visions of the law which requires all
new comers into the State to file with
clerks of courts declarations of their
intention to remain in the State, these
declarations to be fled j. months in
advance of registration. The law was
passed about II years ago and has
proved to be a hardship. Several bills
have been introduced during the pres
ent session to give magistrates power
to accept declarations OF citizens that
they intend to remain citizens of the
State. The object of these bills is TO
save new corners the time and expense
involved in visits to county seats and
there file their intentions.

20 Minutes Too Short To Save All.
But the time was too short for all

killed or MANNED as they lay in their
berths on the side of the ship that had
been rammed.
Others became confused and could
not reach the deck, where boats were
being cast of, and still more are sup
posed to have perished in the water
before they could be picked up.

Auto For the Governor.

A bill introduced in the House by
Speaker Trippe carries an appropria-
ton of $4,000 with which TO purchase
and operate an automobile for use of
the Governor of the State. OF this sum
$4,000 is for the purchase of the ma
chine and its operation during the cur
rent year. For it's operation next year
$4,000 is provided. In the proposed
operating expenses is included the hire
of chauffeur The best sentiment in
the legislature, as well as the State, is
favorable to the bill on the theory
that government is aided by close and
frequent contact between the chief
executive of the State and its people.
AS only a limited number of the peo-
pie of the State can come in contact
with the governor. it is deemed highly
desirable and as conducive 10 good

meet the people. 1t is recognized that
an automobile will be the best means

HAVE MONOPOLY
Government Ownership of Tele-
graph and Telephone Urged.
BURLESON SUBMITS REPORT.
Recommendations Of the Committee
Summed Up In Three Suggestions,
Which Would Declare For a
Governmental Monopoly.

Washington. - Postmaster General
Burleson submitted to the Senate the
recommendations Of the departmental
committee appointed by him to investi-
gate the practicability of government
ownership Of telephone and telegraph
lines.
The report declared that the only
way to afford to the people the COM
plete and modern postal facilities that
the Constitution makes it the duty of
the government to provide" is by carry
ing out these suggestions:
"First-That Congress declare a gov
ernment monopoly over all telegraph,
telephone and radio communication
and such other means for the trans
mission of intelligence as may here
after develop.
"Second-That Congress acquire by
purchase at appraised value the COM
mercial telephone network except the
farmer lines.
''Third-That Congress authorize the
Postmaster General to issue, in his dis
erection and under such regulations as
he may prescribe revocable licenses
fof the operation by private indi-
viduals, associations, companies and
corporations of the telegraph service
and such parts of the telephone serv-
ice as may not be acquired by the gov
ernment."
The recommendation are signed by
Daniel C. Roper, first assistant post
master general; Merritt o. Chance,
chief clerk, Postof1ce Department, and
John c. Koons, superintendent divi-
sion of salaries and allowances, COM
posing the committee. They were ac-
companied by statistical information
collected after one of the most ex-
haustive investigations undertaken by
the Postoffice Department.
Situation In Europe.
The report states that the United
States is "alone of the leading nations
which has LETT to private enterprise
the ownership and operation of the
telegraph and telephone facilities. and
that practically all of the economists
who have treated the subject are
agreed that telegraph and telephone
facilities should be controlled by the
government.

time. While we sat there big col

He said to me: You're white man
and I'm a niger. l guess it's all up
