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
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 new banking system and
wiped out the old system, which was
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
party-equal rights to all, special privil-
egcs 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
ings 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 on 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 demoralized 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.

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 states governmental func-
tons 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 salaried
one, instead Of keeping it on fee basis,
and provides that the salary shall not be
over Sc, 900 year.

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 3. Young, of Boonsboro, who has
taken proceedings in the Circuit Court
at IIagerstown to have the Sheriff S
name stricken from Boonsboro list of
voter on the grounds that after the
Sheriff moved into the Jail residence in
Hagerstown he was no longer a resident
of Boonsboro. The Democrats hold that
Hagerstown is only an official residence
of the Sheriff.

IT would be little less than calamity
to defeat David j. Lewis for Congress
this fall. This is meant in the broadcast
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
people interest than any representative
we have had in years and the admins
tration is most DESTROYS 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
him to Congress by an unquestioned
majority.

latest falsehood that Carnegie and Hill

If this is true, are they overlooking the
Republicans whose votes accomplished
the repeal?
1.-The Republican Congressional Com
mittee should get down on the ground

their issue? Upon what grounds are
they appealing to the American people?
"What Democratic laws would they
repeal? If returned to power, would
they re-enact the repudiated Payne-Ald
rich tariff? Would they repeal the new
Banking and Currency law and return to
the Anticipated system that made posi-
BILE the great industrial and financial dis
aster of 1907?
''Would they repeal the Iucome Tax
law, the Agricultural Extension law and
the other great reform measures placed
upon the statue books by Woodrow
Wilson and the Democratic Congress?
The American people are entitled to an
swer these questions before they vote to
make the next Congress Republican. "

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 utilization
There has been no public deliverance by
the President which transcends this let
ter in importance as well as in nforma-
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 Democratic letter pure
and simple.
No utterance ever made by Woodrow
Wilson in word or writing has been as
clear and able a defense and vindication
of Democratic principles and policies.
OF course the President was nominated
as Democrat, by Democratic con-
vention in a 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
GRAFT 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 itmeans anything
at all, and we confess Progressive Dem.
ocrats is a meaningless term unless it
means 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

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.

MEXICAN sELLleERENTs.

1t is not a particularly desirable job
for this country to guard the fugitives
from Mexico and keep them in the
restricted locality along the border
line but it is a humanitarian move
which must receive general approval
Under the recognized rules of war
there are many infractions and many
atrocities but in Mexico where it has
been announced in advance that no
quarter will be given and that prison
ers will not be taken, but all on the
opposing side are to be killed whether
in open battle. as sick and wounded
or as prisoners. it would be a heartIess
order which would refuse protection
to those willing to lay down their
arms and drive them back to be
slaughtered.

a haven to those who seek safety, re
CARELESS of the cause which they
espoused in the conflict is proper. This

are forced to give them up. IT could
not be expected that this country
would by any means overlook its duty
in checking butchery, however much it
would prefer to have no part in the
matter But having the problem thrust
upon them it was open to but one So
luton and that was in accordance
with the action which has been taken.
Because Mexicans are DESTROYS of and
actually are resorting to savage prac-
tees is no reason for the United
States going to their assistance.

installed a shirt waist box in my trunk

EVERYBODY AT csuRcH sI,MnAv

Like many other coumendabIe IN
dertakings the effort in behalf of F5v-
erybody-at- church Sunday January
18th, is deserving of hearty response.
Whether It will or not. it should re-
suit in the filling of the churches. IT
is conceived for the individual and
community good and is entitled to the
necessary cooperation which church
attendance will give to it. In urging
church attendance next Sunday upou
everyone who car get there. members
and non-nlembers are appealed to by
the Norwich churches in movement
which Is general throughout the coun-
try.
Every community is bettered by the
presence OF the church Its influence
is undeniaoie ard should extend to
all the people regardless of denomina-
ton. 1t stands as a powerful force for
good and therefore something in which
everyone should be DESTROYS of parti-
cipating and in lending their assist
ance, however small. Small beginnings
are possible of great development and
it is with such an idea in view that
church attendance one Sunday NAV
result in a stimulated interest, or the
overcoming of a neglected duty It
offers the excellent opportunity Of
breaking the habit of attendance.
Whatever is aimed at the uplift and
betterment of man deserves encour-
agement. Let the churches be filed
to overf1owing. Everyone should be
able to find time for spiritual as well
as other refreshments, particularly
when it means an aid to and the ex-
tension Of an important, inspiring and
elevating influence. Righteousness. we
were told some time ago was the
greatest need Of the city and there is
certainly nothing which stands for it
more than the church

CHILD LABOR.

A great amount of good has been
accomplished in the campaigns which
have been conducted against the re-
striction of child labor and every state
which has enacted laws improving
conditions know the benefits which
have thus been accomplished. The
movement has not. however, accom-
plishsd ali that is possible There are
stu some states in which children are
allowed to work in factories under
fCGrtsen years of age In Georgia
children Of ten may legally work in
mills and even this age limit is not
entered. South Carolina and MissiS
strri children can work in factories
when they ought to be N school. Five
southern states, Virginia, South Car
oljra, Georgia. Mississippi and Louis
lana, require no educational test what
ever Of children going to work; RHODE
Island is content If they can read and
write and Kentucky if they can read
and write and have had some instruc-
ton in elementary subjects. There is
no inspection for child labor in Georgia
nor in Louisiana outside of New Or
leans
1t is thus apparent that there re-
mains plenty to do in behalf of child
legislation. None should be more in
terested in the overcoming of such
conditions than the people of those
states in which they exist. Delay not
only means an insurmountable handi
cap to the children, but to the future
Of the state. The children are its cit
liens of tomorrow and unless they are
given prc2er protection, attention and
advantages it is bound to react upon
the state and nation. 1t is bad enough
that such conditions should have been
tolerated in the past but there is no
excuse for the continuance of such
practices.

TINTED CURTAINS.

White curtains are apt to soil very
quickly. 1t is good idea to tint
them an ecru or yellow shade. al
though their appearance may not be
quite so dainty as when their lace is
of a snowy hue. Rinsing the cur
tains in weak tea or coffee results in
a pretty shade of ecru. but as the
stain washes out the tinting must be
repeated each time the curtains are
cleaned. Horseradish dye is more
permanent, but it will not resist soda.
1t is prepared by boiling two handfuls
of horseradish leaves in half a gallon
of water for thirty minutes Strain
this decoction and then steep the cur
tains in it until the desired shade is
obtained. Rinse through cold water
before hanging them up to dry.

essary that so much financial power
over the countrys interests should be
concentrated in firm of private bond

our railroads by public commissions;

through a federal board; we will never
again allow So directorships held by
the members of one banking house to

With the aid of some ribbons half
an inch wide and a few stalks of Law
ender. some exceedingly dainty
sachets can be made to place among
linen. Take q dozen or so stalks of
lavender and lay each piece across
the next, just below the flower. Then
thread the ribbon in and out of the
stalks as though weaving, and con-
tinue until the ribbon reaches within
an inch or two of the end of the stalks.
Draw the ribbon up tightly so that a
bag is formed with the flowers inside
and tie the end in a bow round the
stalks. Cut the ends of the stalks
off evenly If the ribbon used is of a
lavender shade the finished sachet will
appear like an enormous stalk of
lavender.
