Penal Discrimination.

About two years ago the British Par
lament, IN season OF hysteria, enacted
a law for the scourging of male of offend
erS under the white slave statute. Re-
Gently under vigorous protest against
this law has. been presented by body of
prominent English women headed by
Lady Cnstance Lytton. The sex dis
tlncton which exempts women from a
penalty TO which men are subjected"
they say, lis less an honor than an in
suit inasmuch as it is not privilege but
equalustice, that women demand"
This is logical 1t possesses the desir-
able element of consistency so conspicu-
ously lacking in the dongs and the say
ings of the militant strikers for sex equal
ity. The advanced women of today de-
sire no privileges and immunities because
of their sex. They are demanding mere
ly what they consider their rights.
OF course it is not conceivable that
women will ever again be logged A
hundred wears ago civilization developed
beyond that point. The demand of the
British protesters cannot be taken as a
serious suggestion that women be pun
ished with the whip. 1t is rather de-
mand that the barbarous punishment be
abolished for both exes.-Cleveland

been passed, the State might have Sc
cured a better Legislature and the tax
payers better protection. A smaller Leg
islature Of better men, and a higher per
diem might give the State better results
in legislation and saved us from the hui
initiation Of the corruption, extravaganza
and disgraceful proceedings that was pub
lished as occurring in Annapolis. This
would be consummation deyoutly to be
wished, but in the last analysis it is up
to the people of the State to elect better
men to the Legislature. This is espe-
cially true Of Frederick county, when
there are plenty Of good men to serve
the people in the Legislature. The
people now have the power to select all
their officers and if they don't use the
power it is their own fault. The fact of
having the power to nominate their tick
cts puts up1n every voter the duty and
responsibility to find out men that are
competent, and honest to serve as public
officers, and see to it that none other are
nominated. If the voters of the county
viii do their public duty most of the evil
We now suffer from will be corrected and
if they dom do it public evils will only

An Unequal Battle.

For all of his caustic wit Thomas B.
Reed, of Maine, was as tender of heart
as large of frame. He was not very
much of hunter. IL never shot but
one bird in my life," he once confessed.
II spent a whole day doing that 1t
was sand piper. | chased him for
hours up and down a mill stream. When
at last | potted him and held him up by
one OF his poor little legs, never felt
more ashamed Of myself in all of my life.
| hid him IN my coat tail pocket for fear
that somebody would see how big was
and how small the victim was, and |
never will be guilty again of the cow
ardice of such an unequal battle. "-Ex-

Independents Ticket Wins Out.

With four tickets battling at the polls,
Mondays election for Burgess and Com
missioner in Middletown, was the hottest
IN the history of the town. DR.. A. A.
Lamar the former burgess, was candi-
date for re election on three tickets, but
was defeated by majority of twenty
three votes. The Independent ticket
won.
The elected officials with the number
of votes for each follow: Burgess-Geo.
l. Donb, So; Commissioners-W. G..
Boileau, III; Leslie w. Gaver, 81; DIR.
Roy Y. Hauver, 1907; G. c. Huher, I3o;
and G.. c. Rhoderick. 100.
One of the principal issues Of the cleo
ton was the fight of the Middletown
Savings Bank to secure control of the
town. 1t was reported from a resident
OF Middletown that the Valley Savings
Bank has always had control of the town
fund, and the election of the Independ-
ent ticket will keep the fund at the
Valley Savings Bank.

MACHINE RULES
HOUSE, IS CLAIM.
National Voters League Says
Old Conditions Prevail.
TWO SELECT COMMITTEES
Underwood and Mann, Majority and
Minority Leaders, Credited With
Having the Most Powerful Posi-
{ tons in Lower Branch of Congress.

Minority Leaders, Credlted with
Having the Most Powerful Posi-
tons in Lower Branch of Congress-.
Washington, March 27.-The- Ma
tional Voters league, in a, statement
just made public, denounced the BIZ
partisan arrangement by which Oscar
w. Underwood, Democrat, and James
R. Mann, Republican, virtually pick
the committees of the house. ~
Charging that there is in reality no
difference between the system in
vogue during the days of Aldrich and
Cannon and now, the league appeals
to the electorate of the country to
break up the system. .>
One of the salient features of the
appeal is map showing that prac-
tically all of the great committee
chairmanships are concentrated in the
Solid South; Florida, with three con.
gressional districts, containing the
two greatest "porkbarrel' chairman
ships, those of the committee on riv-
ers and harbors and the committee on
public buildings. 49,.
I'm the house today the bulletin
says, "the bipartisan organization is
effected through combination of Al
drich and Cannon methods. The
Democratic members of committees,
including the fifty-eight chairman
ships, are given their places a la Al
drich by Democratic members of the
ways and means committee, of which
Oscar w. Underwood is chairman. AS
the leader of his side of the house
Underwood does as Aldrich formerly
did in the senate
1.-THE Republican members are ap-
portioned by one man, as they were
during the Cannon days. The Repub.
lican leader is James R.. Mann.
"These two, Oscar w. Underwood,
Democrat, and James r. Mann, Re-
publican, are the all powerful figures
in the house."

Sir John French Tenders
His Resignation.
IS ANGRY AT GOVERNMENT
Resents Action of Premier Asquith in
Repudiating the Guarantees Given
Officers in IreIand-Example May
Be Followed by Others. s@

London, March 27.-Premier AS
vquith was brought face to face with
new crisis. by the resignation of Field
Marshal Sir John French, chief of the
imperial staff and virtual head of the
British army. s@
Other leading officers Of the army
we're also expected to hand in their
papers as direct outcome of the
reputation of the guarantees given
to army officers in Ireland.
The premier had declared that
these guarantees were not sanctioned
by the cabinet. Colonel Seely, secre'
tary for war, subsequently resigned
from the cabinet, but the premier re-
fused to accept his action.
The result of meeting at the war
office of the principal commanding
generals was awaited with anxiety by
the general public and in political cir
cles, as it was thought they might
take some steps which would virtually
disrupt the army administration.
In the north of Ireland, where the
controversy between Nationalists and
Unionists has been the cause of so
much difficulty to the British govern
ment, there was no disturbance. The
two parties were seemingly content
to await events in London.
More Trouble Coming.
Although it was generally conceded
that Premier Asquith had regained
the upper hand in parliament the gov
eminent has to deal with the army
officers in Ireland under the new con-
ditions established by the premier's
speech in the house of commons
Wednesday.
The premier's speech won back the
support not only of the Liberals, but
of the Irish and Labor members of
parliament by the stand he took in
repudiating the guarantee given to the
mutinous army officers in Ireland that
they might decide whether or not
they would serve against The Ulster
Unionists.
1t is now asserted that as soon as
the government formally Withdraws
the guarantees given by Colonel See
ly, secretary for war, and Field Mar
shall Sir John French the officers will
again resign their commissions and,
as one of them said, this time in
earnest"
Many Liberals think Premier AS
uuith should have accepted the resig-
nation of Colonel Seely, for he always
has been suspected of really being
more Unionist than Liberal in his
sympathies.
