including October 81, 1915.

national supervision, the advantages
OF which will appeal Immediately to
the many thousands who have noted

tective protection against the possibil-
ity of unjust legislation. for we must
assume that the public conscience in
tends no injustice against the owners
of these great properties that are
devoted to the service Of the public" ."
As to Outside Interests.
The commission calls upon the rail-
roads to investigate to what extent
the cost of construction or acauisi-
tion of properties, or capital, is be-
ing increased through the holding
by directors, officers or employees of
interests in other concerns with
which the railroads have dealings.
"A considerable proportion of the
ofhcers and directors of railroad COM
panies,' the commission holds, have
interests in such concerns, including
locomotive works. car manufacturing
companies, steel and iron works, coal
mines ana trust companies"
The body calls attention to the fact
that the railroads should carefully
review all expiring contracts with
sleeping car companies before such
! contracts are renewed.
In concluding the commission
states:
There is growing spirit among
the carriers of cooperation with the
commission in its efforts TO enforce
the law. With the appreciation of cor
rect and helpful accounting, the estab-
lishment of sound business methods and
a better understanding by both carriers
and the public of their mutual oblipa-
tions, to which we believe this inves.
tigation has contributed, the future is
| full of promise We see no reason why
our American railroads should not en-
/ Joy a large measure of prosperity CON
sistent with just and reasonable rates"
Those who have been able to make

predicted that when the railroads all
over the country put into effect tn,
economies recommended by the com
mission the revenues will be increased
yearly by at least S5O.O00.OO0.
As soon as the report of the com
mission was made public copies were

If you are for Woodrow Wilson
and his policies you should vote for
Democratic candidates for the SEN
ate and House of Representatives
who will support and aid him in
the execution of these policies. You
cannot uphold him by voting for
Republicans who will oppose him
in the next Congress, as they have
in the present Congress.
If you believe that President
Wilson is q safe man; if you be-
lieve that he is working for the best
interests of the country; if you be-
lieve that the things which he has
done are based upon right principles;
if you believe that he should be
allowed to continue the work which
he has begun, you should vote for
the men who will uphold him. Re
publicanl in the next Senate and
House, for political purposes will
oppose him and his policies. Dem
ocrats will sustain him.
A vote for JOHN WALTER
SMITH for the Senate and for
RICHARD A IAuNgnN for.Lo
House is a vote for Wilson. A
vote for Republican candidates is a
vote against Wilson. There is no
middle ground.
Vote for your own interest. Vote
for Wilson men!

except where its traditions have ex-
tendeds But the practice at best in
still crude. Some soils need little
or no lime, some a. much as Two
and three-quarter tons to the acre
with every stage between on farms
lying in the same region. Now
sod analysis tells exactly what each
soil needs and drainage water analy-
sis shows how every pound used in
excess is a foolish waste.
AT the Long Island fairs and at
those of Lancaster and York, Pa,
industry has been coming to the aid
of science, in showing this to farm
ers By means of visible tests, on
samples Of their own soils. which
they brought for the purpose. These
tests were made at the booths of the
lime manufacturers who propose To
show the farmers in the future what
the real hme-hunger of their soils
is, il they will but take the trouble
to furnish the lime producers or
their representatives with samples of
their soils. These public demon
STATIONS will be extended to fairs
and grange meetings in other states
as the opportunity presents.
The work done so far in exhibit
ing these tests has attracted great
interest. First, because the farmer
could see the lime-hunger of his own
soil for himself. Second, because
1t gave him confidence that the Dur-
pose of the lime producer is not the
short sighted one of wanting to sell
all he can, but to sell only what is
needed. Good business is based on
just such confidence. No practical
demonstration like this, ineligible
TO the common man, has ever been
made before and it gave new note
of interest to these fairs, that was
completely novel.

The republican spell-binders who
have addressed the meetings of the
Fifth Congressional District have
floundered about with plentiful lack
Of Issues in their platform, in fact,
they seem TO lack a single issue and
sheir avowed purpose is simply To
break down the policies that have
been so beneficial to the country
under the Wilson Administration.
One of the speakers at a local
meeting was guilty of joke tina,
he took seriously-his opposition to
the income tax. There are, at the
most, about two men in st. Mary's
County whose income is sufficient To
bring them within the scope of this
tax. Now the income tax, as every
body knows, is a progressive meas
ure, devised solely for eliminating
the burden of governmental expense
from the shoulders of the poor far
mer and placing that part of the
burden on the shoulders of the rich,
who are amply able to stand il.
The Democratic candidates stand
for President Wilson's policy, "oi
equal justice to all; special priv
leRes to none." This doctrine is az
old rs Democracy and for the first
time in the history of the country,
since the administration of the great
Thomas Jefferson, true Democratic
principles are not only being adv1
Gated but have been incorporated
into our Federal Statutes and have
thus become a part of our Country's
laws.
Senator Smith and Mr.. Richard
A. johnson, Democratic candidates.
stand for these principles; stand for
Woodrow Wilson; stand for true
Democracy; stand for the People.
Senator Smith, during the entire
time the Senatorial toga has rested
upon his shoulders, has sustained \
record that is not only one of the
proud boasts of Maryland, but is
also one of the great achievements
of the administration.
Mr.. Johnson is an able business
man, courteous and refined, with all
the attributes that 60 to make a
representative such as the Fifth
Congressional District enjoyed dur
ing the regeme Of the the late Barnes
Compton. Throughout the district
Mr.: Johnson has travelled and come
before the people and in a plain,
straightforward way stated his
qualifications and has asked that the
people employ him to look after
their interests in the Congress of the
United States. He has shown them
upon what grounds he stands and
that he believes in the policy of the
Democratic Administration as ex-
pounded and guided by President
Wilson; he has svowed his determi-
nation to stand shoulder to shoulder
with those who are fighting the fight
of the people, and to all who are
patriotic, who love their country
and would have her in the foreranks
Of the nations of the world. we
most earnestly commend these two
for your support at the coming cleo
tion on Tuesday next.
Il 10 the duty of every man in
these trying times, when a false
step may throw us into a chaotic
condition such as exists in Mexico
and Europe, to see that we have at
the helm of our Ship of State learn
ed men that are capable of carrying
as through these turbulent times,
