Hits at Parcel Post.

The Senate Committee on Postoffices
and Post Roads has revived the movement
to strip tine Postmaster General and th e
Inter State Commerce Commission of
power to extend the parcel post service.
Representative David J. Lewis, of Mary
land, father of the parcel post" said the
movement if successful, virtually means
the death of parcel post.
The Senate Committee on Postoffices
approved an amendment to the Parcel
Post act. which provides that no further
extensions in the service shall be made
until authorized by Congress. In other
words the Senate committee amendment
ties the Postmaster Generals hands and
vests in Congress the power to change
the rates, to increase weight limits, re-
form the zone plan and to make other ex-
tensions when the service justifies them.
When advised of this movement Rep
resentative Lewis. of Maryland, was an
noyed. He declared that be would pre-.
fer to see the whole Parcel Post act re-
pealed than to see Congress kill the pro-
vision in the act authorizing the Post
master General to extend the service
when the extensions are approved by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

pesoIate West Africa.

Lobito bay, in Portuguese West
Africa, is wonderful natural harbor
and also place for splendid oysters.
They are long shelled oysters and
grow on trees. At low tide these
oysters (very good eating) are picked
OFF the trunks of the trees below
high water mark. These oysters con-
stitute pleasant welcome to what for
100 miles inland is a desolste terri
tory. Between the short and the in
terror plateau lies the thirsty coun-
try" where no rain has fallen for
years. Everything is dull dead gray
and the only trees that flourish are
the gigantic baobabs, which grow like
an inverted cabbage and yield cream
of tartar. In building the railway
through this district, of every 100
men employed thirty were occupied in
carrying up supplies of water.

ACT ON FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Old Adage That "He Who Hesitates
Is Lost" Is a Whole Bundle
of Truth.

In a letter to friend at a great.
moral crisis in his life Darwin eX-
pressed an observation which is con-
firmed by general experience. The
action which had suggested itself to
him when he first faced the crisis he
had condemned as dishonorable. On
further consideration, when he was
sorely tempted to proceed, he told his
friend of the struggle he was having,
but added, First impressions are gem
orally right" and he proposed to stand
by his first impression that the course
in view would be dishonorable.
When a moral question involving
difficulties is put up to person his
first impression is on the merits or
the question, without reference to the
difficulties of the course. Later the
difficulties begin to loom up, and eau
tion is apt to get the better of the
doubter.
Reflection on a matter of disagree
able duty often paralyzes action. The
adage, HE who hesitates is lost" cum
bodies store of wisdom.

an important appointment on the Com
mittee on Banking and Currency. SEN
ator O'Gorman. of New York, resigned
as member of this committee SO that
he could devote more OF his time and
attention to the other big committees of
which he is member and the place was
given to Maryland's new Senator.
The Banking and Currency Committee
is one of the most important in Congress
and especially so at present because of
the passage of the new Currency Law.
This law provides for the establishment
of number of regional banks, and Bal
timore business men are making a des-
perate fight tor the establishment of one
of these banks in Baltimore City There
is no doubt that Senator Lee, as a men,
Der of the Banking and Currency Com
mttee, will have much influence concern
ing the location of these regional banks,
and he will unquestionably work dill
gently 10 have one placed here. Balti
more and Maryland is fortunate in hav
ing Senator Lee named as a member of

CURIOSITY or rasn1on.

One of the curiosities of fashion is
the return of the walking stick to
favor. 1t has had it's ups and downs
ever since the days of Pericles, when
no Athenian gentleman dared be seen
abroad without it. Just as fve-and-
twenty years ago the Oxford under
graduate, when not in flannels or
academical, must carry a walking
stick.
It is certainly not the undergraduate
who is bringing the former fashion in
again, for his pose in Norfolk jacket
and slouch in slippers-and without
a hat. A "clouded cane" would be
out of place with such accompani-
ments. Nor do we think it is the
actor, which has always stood out
literally-against the support of the
stick in the streets, knowing that it's
mice conduct" will spoil his poise
And really. to young man, the cane
seems the most s.perluou5 Of encum-
brances.

ADVICE FROM THE VETERAN.
Actors Opinion of Ability OF Hisl
Would-9e Colleague Was Not in
the Least Degree Flattering.

The veteran actor, c. w. Couldock,
who is probably best remembered py
the theatergoers for his impersonation
of Dunstan Kirk in "Hazel Kirke"
many years ago, was putting a com
pany together for a contemplated
tour. The actors were to be recruit
ed from a stock company in Cleveland
Ohio.
Mr.. Couldock, addressing one OF the
actors, Ogden by name, asked tnaI
gentleman to see him (Couldock) IN
his dressing room after the perform
ance.
Ogden was on the job as soon as
he heard the curtain bump the hoor'
Ogden" said Couldock, what busl'
ness are you supposed to be play
ing?"
Second comedy, sir"
What might your salary be?"
"Twelve dollars a week, sir"
"How much do you pay for board?'
"Five dollars a week, sir"
WELL" said Couldock, very slowly,
"if l was a young man and my name
was Ogden, and was playing second
comedy, and l was getting Sl2
week and paid S. for board, I'd try to
put by little each week, say, 5O
cents (even if 1 had to give up some
of my beer) till 1 got $780,"
"And then?" said the jubilant .Og-
den.
"I'd go to a good secondhand store
and buy a good hatchet and chop my

Big Saving by Economy Bills.

If the economy bills to be urged for
passage at Annapolis by a delegation
representing the Frederick County Farm
ers' Association, are all successful in their
trip through the Legislature, 1t is esti-
mated, in round figures, that yearly
saving of between hve and ten thousand
dollars will result to Frederick county.
Yesterday morning the following rep
resentatives of the Farmers Association
left for Annapolis to present the proposed
economy measures TO the Legislature:
James H. Gambril. Jr., D. J. Markev, E.
H. Mcbride, George r. Dennis, X. Rush
Lewis, William Grove, Jesse P. King
and Emory Remsburg.
IT is in the proposed bills making
changes in the administration of affairs in
the county treasurer's office that the
greatest savings are expected to be made.
The salary of that official, who will also
serve as clerk to the County Commission
erS under the new measures. is TO be a
flat $1,000 per annum, without any other
emolument. This will do away with the
fees arising from accumulationS of inter.
est on county funds and discounts for the
early payment of State taxes that under
the present system inure entirely to the
benefit OF the county treasurer. Whether
or not under the proposed new laws these
discounts and interest accumulations will
be added TO the connty's Golfers. will de-
pend upon the activity of the treasurer in
taking advantage Of opportunities to get
them.

Got Her Souvenir.

There is a certain famous violinist
who frequently visits this country, and
VINO, among his acquaintances, is al
most as noted for his parsimony as for
his genius. Among this musician
admirers was young woman who
was determined, if possible, to pro-
cure some souvenir of the great man.
Her opportunity came one rainy day
when she chanced to encounter the
musician on Broadway. He was pro-
,vided with an old cotton umbrella,
green with age; while the young wom-
an carried a nice new silk one. She
stopped him for a moment exclalm-
ing: ooh, if you would only give me
some slight remembrance of yourself
mo matter how SMALL" The great
man surveyed her keenly, and then
gave a glance at the old cotton UNI
brella that covered him. This he
thrust into her hands, saying: Ger
tainly, my dear young lady. I shall
be delighted. We will exchange UNI
brellas."

Peace Centenary Plans.

The Anglo-American Peace Center-
ary, an association formed in England to
celebrate the tooth anniversary of peace
between the United States and England,
has sent to Mayor Fraley an announce
ment of its plans for the celebration of
this centenary which proposes to bring
the matter before the school children Of
each nation and TO have hung in each
school of the two nations momento OF
the centenary. The association has pur-
chased Sulgrave Manor, the ancestral
home of George Washington, the first
president Of the United States. The me-
mento for schools is 40 inches long by 80
inches wide, mounted on rollers and Of
linen, with the royal coat of arms OF King
Henry VII. Below is a copy OF the
Kings grant of Sulgrave Manor to Laur-
ence Washington, md a view of the
manor house is also shown. The copies

private schools and colleges all over the
State. The State is not bound to sup
port these private institutions. We
mean by private schools that they are
not part Of the State School System.
La the second place there is no State need
OF them, because the public system is as
far as the taxpayers generally ought to
be burdened. If the people want to
send their children to college let them
pay for it.
1t is time there was halt in these
wildcat and unjust appropriations of the
money of the taxpayers. They are
neither wise nor just, and there are
always good jobs behind them for an in
terested few, who fatten on the peo-
pie. The Democratic party owes it
to the people to put stop to this cor
rupt system, because it claims and pro-
fesses to be an honest and economical
party, and we charge it to appropriate
no more money to Johns Hopkins Uni
versity in this generation, for it has
been hideous nightmare Of the tax
payers, as well as the other private
schools and colleges.

Hints Worth Remembering.

When making coffee. this improves the
flavor Place the coffee in pan in a
fairly hot oven for about three minutes
before making.
Raw potatoes are very good to use if
the knives are very badly stained. Take
a raw potato, cut in half. then dip it in
powdered bathbrick and rub the knives
it.
When potted plants begin TO droop,
the following method is very good for
freshening them up: Add teaspoonful
OF ammonia to three quarts of water. and
water the plants freely with it.
Having trouble in getting all e mt
OF greens after they have been cooxl, 10
overcome this difficulty place a slice of
dry bread in the bottom of the vegetable
dish. This absorbs the moisture and inn
proves the greens greatly.

Damage Done by SCOT.

The acids contained in SCOT attack
mortar, masonry, woodwork, metal
work and building material generally.
In many European cities it has been
found that SCOT causes tha rapid dis
integration of statuary and public
monuments. The damage done to in
side decorations appears to be no less
important than the effects upon the
exterior of buildings.
Smoke is visible proof of imperfect
combustion of fuel, and consequently
evidence of waste and inefficiency. n

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 20, 1914.
THE LEGISLATURE MU S It
PROTECT THE TAXPAYERS.
FREDERICK CITY, MARYLAND.

There never was such a wild scramble
and hunt before any Legislature that
has ever met at Annapolis for appropri-
ations of the State S money as there is
now going on before the present Legisla-
ture. 1t, therefore, becomes the i'm
perative duty of every member of the
Legislature to call to mind the fact that
he is sent there to protect the taxpayers.
This is especially true of the delegation
from this county, because our people are
heavy taxpayers to the State Treasury.
Our people pay taxes away beyond
the proportion ola large majority of the
counties of this State. This being a
rich c. unity, and our taxes to the State
are very high now, our members are in
duty bound to see that there shall be
no increase in the State debt, and no in
crease in the State tax rate.
The State taxes are about thirty-one
cents on the one hundred dollars, and
this is higher than they have been for
half century A few years ago this
State was out of debt, and the people
were congratulated upon the fact that in
a few years from that time, there would
be no State taxes to be paid, as the
States investments would pay the States
expenses.
Instead of that condition We owe
larger State debt than ever before, and
our State taxes are higher than we have
ever had to pay.
Notwithstanding this 1ondition there
is an avalanche of schemes and plans
laid and being laid to raid the State
Treasury and the taxpayers, and they
come from all parts Of the State aud
some even from Frederick, and we are
not certain that those from our own
county are more deserving than most of
those from other parts of the State. 1t
would take up too much time to enum
crate them in this article, but suffice it is
to say that their name is legion, and
their amount is fabulous, and the justice
and proprety of nearly all Of them are
utterly indefensible and unjustifable
by any rules of honest purpose, economy
or reason and sound sense.
They want SIX millions of dollars for
the State roads, one million for a
bridge over Light street in Baltimore
City, million for the State Agricult
ural College, aud any number, or almost
unnumbered private colleges, and schools,
and hospitals and other eleemosynary
institutions in Baltimare City, and IL
over the State are holding up the Legis
lature for money.
In the first place they are asking for
reckless and extrayagaut sums of money
sums so vast that the taxpayers can
not possibly pay them.
If they asked for one-half that they
have asked for, it would be entirely too
much, even if they were entitled to any.
We do not believe that the Legislature
has the right to thus vote away the
money of the people.
What right have the taxpayers of
this county to support the private
schools and colleges all over the State,
when they are already taxed to pay for
the support of the public schools, and
high schools established under our public
system?
1t is all right to support our public
and high schools, and there the burden
ofthe taxpayer ought to cease.
But instead of that he is forced to
pay his hard earned money to support

LATIN AMERICAN PRESIDENTS.

It may be well understood in Latin American republics that the president who has had his office wrested from him must expect to be dealt with ac- cording to the dictaEe es of his captor, and even be prepared to die if he is unwise enough to have enemies or is willing to stand by his country when safety would sugsest} flight. but it must be agreed that the idea of the revo- lutionists in Peru of4sending a deposed president out of the country is far preferable There is nothing to com mend in revolutions and it is regret table that Peru is to be thus disrupted rather than adjusting it's internal troubles by means of the ballot. Just so long as revolutions are countenanoaS they will be continued and aspirants for the presidency will continue to create trouble. The great lesson which such republics must learn is that of carrying forth their ideas for govern ment through the channels of educa- ton rather than by force.
 Until such a time arrives in the distant future revolutions can be ex- pected, but the lengthening of the pe- riods between reVoits in Peru gives promise of it's ultimate accomplish ment. Tho outbreak is one which has been threatened for some time, the leaders having long been opposed to President Biliinghurst. That he has spared his life is some evidence of the feeling of Durand and 1t is in marked contrast with the disposition of Madero and Suarez in Mexico and of the summary execution of Guzman by General Villa.
