President Wilson's anie. Il usl mes
sagr read by him in Congress on
Tuesday was a strong paper 10 de-
nunciation OF combinations in re-
slrairt Of trade and it made deep
impression on members Of Cong ess
10 joint session assembled 20 hear his
address. Men Of all parties mite in
recognizing its qualities Of statesman
ship, and the Republican leader Of
the House, Mr. Mann, was noticeable
in his applause If approva wher
certain trust evils were pointed out
and denounced by tie President,
especially that one which proposed
changing the penalty for violations Of
the ante trust law by making the in
dividual subj setto fre and imprisnn-
m Mt for such violations.
No one questions the hon sly Of
Mr. Wilson in bis belief thai the
course he is pursuing is the correct
one, but there are very many who
doubt that his party's policy, on the
whole, is the right one to pursue to
prevent disasters 10 the business
wvrld. However, we do not wish TO
appear as prophet Of evil, and as a
true citizen Of our country wish for
Mr.. Wilson ana bis administration
all the success he hopes 70 attain.
The chief points in brief which the
President singled out fer Legislation
are:
Prohibition of the inter'ocking Of
directorates Of great corporations.
A law to confer upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission the power to
superintend aud regulate the iinaucial
operations by which railroads are
henceforth to be supplied with the
money they need for their proper de
yelopment and improved transporta-
ton facilities.
Definition Of 'the many hurtful re-
strains Of trade BY explicit legislation
supplementary to the Sherman law.
The creation Of commission to aid
the courts and to act as a clearing
house Of Information in helping bust
ness to conform with the law.
Provision of penalties and punish.
ments to fall upon individuals respon-
sible for unlawful business practices
Prohibition of holding companies
and suggestion that the voting power
of individuals holding shares in num-
erous corporations might be restricted
Giving to private individuals the
right TO found suits for redress on facts
and judgments proven in Government
suits, and providing that statute OF
limitation should run only from til.
date of conclusion of the Governments
action.

FORGETTING PROMISES.

We hear, always previous to az
elrction, continued denunciation OF
the other party by those who say
select us and we will make things
better; we will reduce the cost Of liv-
ing; we will be economical; we will
save the peoples money; no more
will there be extrayagant expendi-
lures" They are believed, the Dem
ocrats carried Maryland after max
iig the above and many more such
declarations, and now WHAT Soon
as they hav- taken Their seats in the
Legislature the Democrats forget all
promises, and at ono, cut the purse
strings loose The House Committee
on Or. an'zation, recommended the
appointment of III employees for the
House OF Delegates at per diem Of
$500 per dav, greater number han
ever known before.
In addition to the employees elect
ed as above, the Speaker was author
lied to appoint ssenographer to the
Chief Clerk Of the House, to appoint
his private secretary, his messenger.
his stenographer, an assistant ianitor,
and messenger to the printer, still.
additional, the Chairman Of the
Ways and Means Committee, OF the
Judiciary, the Corporation, the CITY
Delegation, the Temperance, or
Currency, Chesapeake By and its
Tributaries, Claims, and the Chair
mar of the Committee on Insurance
and Loans were each authorized +.
appoint for himself stenographer
or clerk.
Very naturally very great lsa.
of comment, is being uada, after so
many plausible promises, At the large
number Of employees. In the House
there are 102 members, thus eAob
has more than one e,aplo, 81, al ex
eept two being awarded to tn.
Democrats There are enough door
keepers to assign three men to each
door, more policemen than ave on
duty in the sho.e city Of Annapolis,
and enough men to i,ok after the
toilet rooms to almost Ii the roolas.
You heard last fall and many
times pr vioasly promises of eeomi-
cal reform but the money Of the PEG
pie is 'tiil being extravagently vast
ell as illustrated above, and that tau
in the face Of the Democratic Comp
troliers recent report that ex ravagent
expenses must stop, that the exI.endi.
lures of the State are greater than It's
revenues and that unless that is done
the Stste.tax rate will be far great, r
than at p resent. How long oh hos
long?

CHAPLIN AND THE HERALD

There's a story around newspaper
circles about how w. W. Chaplin,
canned publisher of the Herald, came
to Chicago, saw and failed to con-
quer. ....
The story is that Chaplin, who
breezed in from Seattle and Frisco,
was to put $t5O,OOO into the Herald.
He was supposed to have lots of
dough. But he failed to come across
and about a week ago James Kelley,
editor and main squeeze on the Her
aid, sent a painter down, painted
Chapin's name off the door and made
way for locksmith who changed the
lock. Then Chapin's goods and chat
tells were dumped into the hallway
and Chaplin was out.
Kelley has made big improve
ment in the Herald, but ran into bad
luck by the war breaking out, max
ing it tough shedding for all news
papers. So call had to be made on
the million-dollar reserve or guaranty

PERIOD IN A., F. OF L. MEET
BY John Edwin NeVin
Philadel phia, Nov. ,12.-President
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor prevented what
promised to be a serious mixup at
today's session of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. The fraternal del
egates representing the American
Federation of Churches and the Fed
Grafton of Catholic Societies Sc
verely criticised Socialism, despite
the heavy percentage of Socialists
represented.
Walter George Smith, representing
the Catholic federation, also stirred
the ire of many of the delegates, es-
pecially those representing the min
ers, by his yelled references to the
Colorado and West Virginia strikes.
He declared that labor has received
a serious black eye through open
violence in connection with strikes
and expressed the opinion that under
no circumstances was violence JUS
tifiable. 1t was his opinion that if
labor would always turn the other
cheek it would fare better.
Several delegates were on their feet
to secure recognition when President
Gompers interceded.
81 believe in peace and order" said
Gompers, ''and deplore violence. No
man in this country will go farther
than will in trying to settle our diff
fculties by amicable measures. But,
l feel it is my duty to say at this time
that there comes a time in the affairs
of labor when meekly to bow oppres-
sive demands upon it is to consent to
the riveting upon the wrists of indus
try of the shackles of oppression"
Wild applause and cries of soak
him again" went up from every cor
ner of the hall.

I. c. KEEPS AFTER PERSON AND
HIS ASSOCIATES .

The persecution of Carl Person
and his associates is being kept up
by friends of the I. C. railway.
Yesterday Carl Person, editor of
the Strike Bulletin; James Meagher,
acting secretary of the 1. c. System
Federation, and Floyd Gibbons, a
newspaper writer, who has helped on
the Bulletin, were arrested on libel
charge made by States Atty Will
liams of Dewitt county, who has led
the prosecution and who lost the
murder case against Person.
The men we're released and left for
Clinton, ILL.,, this morning to give
bond and enter their appearance.
They were accompanied by Atty
Frank Comerford, who defended Ed
itor Person in the murder case.
ComeTford says it is persecution.
The alleged libel is based on poem
which appeared in the Bulletin under
the name of Gibbons and had to do
with the prosecution of Person.
