Campaign Will Inform Public of
Wire Scheme.

Legislation tor Government purchase
OF telephone lines in the United States
and their operation as part of postal ma
chinery, as proposed by Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson and Representative David
J. Lewis. of Maryland, will not be press
ed at this session of Congress, according
to dispatch from Washington. Its adj.
vocates are planning for an energetic fight
in the next session.
Steps will be taken to sound the senti-
ment of the country. A campaign of in
formation will be made by Representa-
tive Lewis, who has made an exhaustive
study of the problem will deliver a num-
Der of speeches laying before the coun-
try the results and his conclusions from
the Investigations he has made. The
speech Mr. Lewis made before the Re-
publican Club, of New York, Saturday,
is part of the campaign of publicity.
The men who are behind the legisla-
ton believe they will be in better posi-
ton to make successful fight with SEN
timent back home" aroused in favor of
it. The publication of the detail recon-
mendations of Postmaster General Burle-
son in favor of Government ownership Of
wires has stirred up the question again in
Washington and has caused Congress
men to begin studying the proposition.

more City, certainly must be seeking the
limelight with vengeance or else feels
that his constituents are not likely to re
turn him to the Legislature. Certainly
he must be the Apostle of the great Up
lift Movement in this State, or rather of
his own city, when he introduces such
bills as the one restricting the. work of
the women of this State to eight hours
daily, and the other, equally ridiculous
and preposterous, to outrageously in
crease the license charges against the
owners and operators of automobiles.
These measures ought to be their own
worst enemies, and we trust that no self
respecting member of the Legislature
will be careless enough to give them the
slightest encouragement. Some one has
bill to reduce the age limit for opera
tors Of automobiles to sixteen years.
Why don they make it apply to the
age of reason--seven years-that is
young enough to make travel safe and
sound. We have hopes for the sanity
Of the present General Assembly, but if
the above is real sample Of seriously
contemplated measures to go upon our
statute books then the hope dies ADJOURN
ing, and we must be an advocate of
change in our Constitution to allow or
permit the Legislature meeting only once
in at least four years.

pediting legislation and this will be
great and most important advantage.
1t has been decided to consider the big
financial and appropriation bills earlier
than usual, and this in itse.f will mean
much to the State. In the past it has
been customary to jam the appr opriatIon
bills through the Legislature during the
closing days the session and invariably
many of the Senators and Delegates were
not familiar with their provisions The
Democratic majority has started out on
its work under the most pleasant anspi-
ces. The party in the Legislature is sol.
idly and tremendously united and has
behind it the solid support of the rauk
and file of the party throughout the
State. The record made by this Legis-
lature will undoubtedly have an import
ant bearing on the next State campaign,
when a Governor will be elected and
thus it behooves the Democrats to see
that its record is unsurpassed.
At last Mr.. Blair Lee has been seated
as member of the United States Senate
and once again Maryland is repre-
scented in Congress by solid Demo-
cratic delegation. Only thirteen votes
were cast against Senator Lee and those
by organizatiod Republicans. If there
ever was a man sent to the United
States Senate by the people it is Blair
Lee. He made the fight in a fair and
square election and won by over &c, 900
votes. Every legal safeguard was thrown
around the election and in every detail
it was the same as a general election in
Maryland. Many friends of former Sen
atur William P. Jackson believe that he
made a mistske in trying to keep his seat.
They point out that he should have seen
that it was a losing fight and to have
gracefully retired as soon as Senator
Lees credentials were presented. AL
though he has not made any definite an
nouncement it is now believed by Sena-
ator TackSon's friends that he will be
candidate for the long term United
States Seuatorship this year. Should
Mr.. Jackson be candidate he would un-
questionably have the support of the Re-
publican organization forces in this city
and State While member of the Sen
ate Mr.. Jackson made a number of
friends, and it is asserted that he sue
ceeded in having passed a number of
useful and beneficial measures for Mary
land and the Marylanders.

leader is man or men distinguished by
wisdom, capacity and large experience
IN public affairs. Bosses some times
arise, but they are only incidents and Of
minor Importance Bosses exist because
the people of a party do not do their
duty to their party and allow boss to
do it.
In our country there are no bosses and
the people are their own bosses. Every
Democrat elected to office where these
appointments are to be made, owes it to
his party to appoint Democrats and only
Democrats, if Democrats can be found,
to I'LL the places. If he fails to do it,
he violates his duty to his party and to
the Democrats who elected him, and will
have and deserves to have the condem
nation Of his party, and will be rele-
gated to the rear.
If the patronage is given to the party
in opposition, it weakens his own party
and gives strength to the enemy. And
the Democrat who does it is an enemy
to his party, and an migrate to his Dem
ocratic friends who elected him. This
is true of any, and it is also true of all
parties.
More than that, whenever Demo
crat does an act Of this sort it will al
ways be found that the influences that
controlled him was the result Of some
personal interest or amoition Or some
man or corporation, or bank that want.
to make money by it. 1t is based on
personal greed and gain. This is the
lowest and most corrupt motive that can
be found in party man, and such in
huences must be eliminated from the
Democratic party. If the Democratic
party is to hold power in this country
all such men and all such influences
must be eliminated from the party.

Urge the State to Buy the
GEORGETOWN Pike.

Residents of Urbana and the lower
section of the county are urging the pur-
chase by the State Roads Commission of
the portion of the Georgetown Pike,
which is not already owned by the State.
The matter has been brought to the at
tention of the members of the Legislature
from Frederick county, and also the
Montgomery county Delegates There
are 10 miles of pike in Frederick county,
extending south from this city, through
Frederick Junction to the Montgomery
county line near Hyattstown There are
three toll gates on the stretch of the
road.
ssThe State has acquired about 26 miles
on the Georgetown road lying in Mont
gomery county. and running from the
District of Columbia line toward Fred
erick to what is known as Henderson's
Corner. There is d stretch of about 8
miles OF Montgomery county road from
this point to the Frederick county bor-
der. 1t is now urged that the State au-
thorities secure the remainder of the road
from the capital and make it a free pike.

All About A Copper Cent.

Among the historical relics and articles
OF interest collected by the Star Spangled
Banner Centenary Commission for exhi-
bltlon during the coming celebration, in
Baltimore, September I to IL, will be an
old copper cent, belonging to Miss Isa-
belle Hammond, of New Market. Md. 1t
bears the date of 1872, and was found n
the National Pike, five miles eest of Fred
erlck, about SIX years ago.
The cent is larger than our present
quarter On one side is the head of the
Goddess of Liberty, enclrcled by thirteen
stars. On the reverse are the words.
"One Cent, in the center of a wreath Of
laurel.
The National Pike was the old stage

and fancy could place that old copper
cent in the pocket of many a gay blade,

Cots First Bill Through the House

Delegate August T. Brust, of Froder-
lex, has the distinction Of getting the first
bill through the House of Delegates at
the present session, the measure being
passed Monday night The bill repeats
the law in this county encouraging the
killing OF destructive animals and BIRDS in
five northern districts of the county.
There has been considerable sentiment
tor the repeal of this law since it was
passed in 1912, because it has cost the
county considerable money from 5000 10
$500 year, and it is claimed that without
this bounty the birds and animals are
killed by the residents for the protection
OF their property, and therefore, the law
is not needed
In the Senate Mr.. Matthias secured the
passage Monday night OF one of the first
six bills passed by the upper house at the
present session. 1t ratified the consoli-
dation of the Hagerstown and Frederick
trolley systems with other utilities.

NEIl| '''D|lISCOVERY


The wonderful cures that are being
made by this remarkable new rem
,edy are almost beyond belief. A
young lady from Ottumwa. Ia, for
many years suffered from bad case
of eczema Her face was a sight to
behold; all covered with red bIotchess
pustles and pimples. So unsightly
was her appearance she gave up all
social lie. Falling to find relief with
doctors and remedies, she became de-
spondent and discouraged. After a
few weeks treatment with Amoiox
the scaiy redness disappeared, pus-
tules healed and she was entirely
cured. A few months following her
mother wrote that Amolox had done
wonders for her daughter, and she
was married last week. Seems like
Ia fairy tale, doesn't II? Yet this is
the truth. This Is only one Of the
many cases that are being reported
In towns where Amolox has been in
troduced and its merits have become
known. Amolox Is invaluable for ,ec-

empting cash, household furniture
and evidences of debt from any taxa
ton and assesses taxes on twenty
five per cent of the value of merchan-
disc, machinery of manufactures and
all other improvements upon land
and assesses taxes on land at its fair
value. Mayor Campbell of that city
says: Under our present system of
taxation Houston has prospered like
it has done never before. We have
accomplished great deal under our
new form of taxation"
The advertisement of a $3,00O,-
900 trust company of Victoria, Brit
ish Columbia, was quoted as follows:
The partial application of Henry
Georges single-tax ideas in Victoria
and Vancouver worked so well that
every town, every city, and every
Province in western Canada is work
ing for their full adoption.
Here it is no longer a greater crime
to build a chicken house than to rob
one, as it is in every county of every
one of the United States.
Men are not punished for building
homes, stores, or factories or for
raising crops or cows. Homes, fac
tories, cattle, and all personal prop
erty are exempt, and taxes are levied
on land values and natural resources.
This tends to prevent monopoly
and to increase wages, profits, and
interest.
We have never thought the people
of Vermont were ready for Henry
Georges system of taxing the land
only but give these statements mere
ly as information for the people to
think over and decide upon for them
selves.
