MARYLAND voters will find on their
ballots this year constitutional amend
ment to which comparatively little atten-
ton has been paid and yet which is an
important one in pursuit Of the work Of
bringing the state S governmental func-
tions to the highest degree Of efficiency.
1t was considered carefully by the Legis
lature last winter and adopted without
opposition. This amendment relates en-
tirley to the office of sheriff in Balti-
more city-it has nothing to do with
that office in any of the counties. 1t
extends the term of the sheriff to be
elected in Baltimore next full, whoever
he may be, to four years instead of two,
as at present, and makes the terms four
years thereafter. 1t also authorizes the
Legislature to make the Office a salaried
one, instead Of keeping it on fee basis,
and provides that the salary shall not be
over Sc, 600 year

GET A MAN WHO KNOWS.

Frederick City is wise in employing
an expert hydraulic engineer to unravel
her water problems Most people, when
they want anything done right, go to
the best equipped person to provide it
for them-a doctor for your ailments, a
minister for spiritual affairs and lawyer
to help you when in legal trouble. If
you take your own case in any Of these
matters you only have fool for client
Many of our aldermen have individual
views on the water question, and this is as
it should be, but they should wait until
someone, who ought in the natural order
of things know:more on. this subject than
they do, lines up the proposition for
them. Then if not satisfied they can get
another authority and have battle of
the experts. Even if some money is
spent on proper advice (and that Is the
only way you can get the right kind)
the city in the future will be the better
off for it. There is something admit
tedly wrong with our water supply at
this end or the other, and to have the
matter fixed right would appear to us to
be the proper dope. The people do not
mind spending money when they know
it is to be properly applied. This water
question is an old one, and, despite
other things that require money and
which are of great Importance to the
community, there is only one way to
handle the subject and that is to get
man who knows and then do as he ad-
vises. And it need not require bond
issue either.

Would Keep Sheriff From Voting

The right of Sheriff Otto w. King,
Of Washington county, Democrat, for
merly of Bookstore, to vote in Boons
boro was attacked by ex-Postmaster Sam
uel f. Young of Boonsboro, who has
taken proceedings in the Circuit Court
at IIagerstown to have the Sheriff S
name stricken from Boonsboro' list of
voteri on the grounds that after the
Sheriff moved into the Jail residence in
Hagerslown he was no longer resident
of Boonsloro The Democrats hold that
Hagerstown is only an official residence
of the Sheriff.

and practicable measure of revenue for
the support of the government, eliminat-
ing the robber system by which the peo
pie had been for years robbed and plum
dered by the Republican robbery system
that oppressed the people for long years.
We simply went back and adopted a
tariff like the one adopted by the Dem
Gratis under James X. Polk, which was
a pure Democratic tariff which Mr.
Blaine said satisfied everybody. Then
we adopted a new banking system and
wiped out the old system, which was a
monster system Of oppression, the same as
when the Democrats under General An
drew jackson wiped out the old national
bank that was robbing the people. Then
Mr. Wilson says we made stronger the
antitrust law and made it harmonic
with the doctrine of Thomas jefferson
which is the bulwark of the Democratic
plrty-equal rights to all, special privil-
egeS to none
Thus it is clearly proved by the Pres
ident' letter that the work done by our
Democratic administration has been
purely Democratic and strictly in accord
with Democratic principles and teach
ines since the DAYS of Jefferson. And
all that has been done for the people has
only been as good as the Democratic
party has been willing to do in all the
past and is willing to continue to do in
all the future. The only thing for the
people to do is to be Democrats and
carry out the principles Of Jefferson and
which have been and are now those on
which the Democratic party stands. Not
only does the Democrats stand Oh the
sound principles of democracy but they
are the only hope of the people for good
staple government.
And as the President says there is no
party that will bring hope or relief to
the people because the Republican party
has become so demoralzed and corrupt
that it cannot help the people and the
Progressives have neither the strength or
the capacity to give the people the relief
they so much need nor the government
they require.

IT would be little less than a calamity
to defeat David j. Lewis for Congress
this fall. This is meant in the broadest
spirit and outside of party lines. BE
cause of his devotion to his public du-
ties he may not have had time to give
to some things that relate directly to
politics, and on that account some small
minds may hold evil against him on
election day. He has done more for the
peoples interest than any representative
we have had in years and the admins
tration is most desirous of having him
returned to help carry out other plans
for the welfare of the people and the
country He will undoubtedly get many
votes outside of his own party, but that
party should consider it an honor to
rally round the banner of this champion
of the rights of the people and return

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 90. 1914.
PRESIDENT WILSON s LETTER

The letter of President Wilson to the
people Of the United States commands
the closest consideration of the people
without regard to political affiliation.
There has been no public deliverance by
the President which transcends this let
ter in Importance as well as in informa-
tion-it is indeed of very great doubt
whether anything he has said or written
equals in public influence and informo
tion this letter. 1t is true that while it
is the letter Of the President, it is po-
litical document and not only political
letter but it is a Democratic letter pure
and simple.
No utterance ever made by Woodrow
Wilson in word or writing has been as
clear and able defense and vindicaton
of Democratic principles and policies.
OF course the President was nominated
as a Democrat, by Democratic con-
vention in Democratic city in the State
of Maryland and naminated on as clear
cut and able Democratic platform as was
ever formulated by any Democratic con-
vention ever assembled Yet these facts
have been in a measure overlooked or
obscured by mass of stuff talked and
agitated by selfish, ambitious Office seek
ers and agitators in the Democratic
party and outside of that party.
And it has since been said that Mr.
Wilson was not Democrat To all of
this twaddle the Presidents letter is an
absolute negative and denial.
His letter is in support of every Dem
ocratic candidate in the United States
for Congress both for the House of
Representatives and the Senate. He
advocates the support and election of
each and every Democratic candidate as
Democrats and not as Progressives' or
anything but alone as Democrats. This
is the only sound course Democratic
President could have taken And it
was the only wise course as well. The
President was elected solely as Demo
crat and was elected by Democrats. Per-
haps he was voted for by some good Re-
publicans who would not and could not
support Roosevelt. No Progressives
voted for Mr.. Wilson because they all
voted for Roosevelt. Even the so-called
progressive Democrats of Maryland, what
ever that may mean, if it means anything
at all, and we confess Progressive Dems
ocrats is meaningless term unless it
means a term to catch and fool cranks.
1t can have no meaning or result in prac-
tical effect but to divide and defeat the
Democratic party as Mr. Roosevelt used
it to divide and defeat the Republican
party, as it undoubtedly did defeat it
and enabled the Democratic party to
elect President Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson in his letter emphasizes
the great things the Democratic party
has done since his advent to the Presi-
dency. The first important thing was
the reduction of the tariff to an honest

Interesting Exhibit By State For
est Service.


Prominent among the educational
features in the main building is the State
Forestry exhibit. This is their second
exhibit here, and is again interesting
many in this important subject.
Our principal trees are shown as they
grow in the forest, with attractively
mounted sets of their woods. The raw
ages of the chestnut blight are shown by
colored photographs, and charts show
the loss from forest fires and the value
of the forest resources in both the state
and county. The Importance of the
Roadside Tree Law to Frederick is
shown, aud by next spring the board
will be in position to furnish trees of
suitable size and kind for planting at
cost to residents of the state. 1t is well
worth while to visit this exhibit, as it is
both instructive and interesting, and
should be of special value to Frederick
county, with its large area of forest
land.
