Extols Cur Coast Heroes.

Before an audience that taxed the
capacity of the building, DR.. Arthur
K Peck, of New York, on Saturday
night in Hood College Chapel, gave a
unique address on "Storm Heroes of
Our Coast-U. S. Life-Saving Service.
Interest was added to the lecture by
the scores of photographs, taken of the
members of the service. They were
actual pictures and the result of four
years travel and work.
Last night Dr.. Peck lectured on
the same subject in the Belasco The
atre, Washington. 1t was his idea to
have the audience filled with as many
OF the members of the present Admins
tration as possible. His object is to
create interest and to have legislation
passed that will better the living con-
ditions of the "heroes of the coast"
1t was the first time that a Freder-
lex audience heard a lecture on this
subject. DR.. Peck presented his views
in forcible manner
Members of the life saving service
are paid a salary of about SOS a month
for ten months in the year. When ply
sically unable to accomplish their
duties they are discharged, without
pension or provision for after life. For
unusual heroism they sometimes re-
ceive gold medal
Because of the big risks which the
life savers take in giving assistance to
ships in distress, DR.. Peck declared
that the salaries were wretchedly
small. 1t is his aim to have Congress
pass legislation that will at least
provide for the members who have
been disabled in service, and are I'M
able to work.
The gathering of information of the
life savers was fraught with difficulty.
DIR. Peck said that the men had a hor-
ror of being interviewed by represen-
tatives of newspapers. Any unusual
questioning makes them suspicious
The life savers are modest to a man
and refrain from boasting of daring
and miraculous deeds. They make
daring rescues of wrecked crews with
out a thought of personal safety or
fhe dangers to which they expose
themselves.

BIBLE IN USE NEARLY QUAR-
TER OF CENTURY.
Judges And Prospective GrOOms Made
Oath On It-Once Bright And Clean,
Now Torn Leaves Hang By Thread
Worn Bare In Spots.

Battered and soield from the finger
ing of thousands of hands, tattered
and torn from constant usage for near
twenty-five years, the Bible which has
been used in the Office of the clerk of
the circuit court is one of the interest
ing landmarks of the court house.
Some of the leading jurists of Mary
land have taken their oaths of office
on this Bible, and the hands of thous-
ands of prospective grooms have rest
ed on this book.
This Bible has rested on the far end
of the counter of the clerks office
since July 10, 1890. Sometimes it is
closed, others it is open, with soiled
and torn leaves hanging only by a
thread of the binding. The cover was
once bright brown. Now it is black
ened with age, with the leather wear
ing thin in spots.
do you thing that Bible will be
discarded and soon a new one purch-
ased," one of the clerks was asked.
mo, that Bible has been here for many
years and is still good for many more
of service" was the response.
The Bible was brought into the office
with the administration of w. Irving
Parsons, clerk of the circuit court.
On the fly leaf are the names of the
officers of the administrations. With
the exception of one or two men, all
are dead.
The inscription follows:

"Otho J. Gaver, Sheriff."
Judge James McSherry, Judge John

on this Bible. All county commission

of the Orphans Court, justices of the

FRIDAY. JANUARY Is, 1915.

Representative Augustus B. Gardner
of Massachusetts,, who has been creating
big stir about this country's "unpre-
paredness for war;" acknowledges that
he is veteran of the Spanish Ameri-
can War" This no doubt accounts for
his wholesale mis-statments in regard to
the matter at issue. 1t is question in
the minds of great many people wheth-
er or not the Spanish American war was
really war or Just one great big coun-
try jumping on top Of another one and
simply overwhelming it. Along this
line, does Mr. Gardner propose to make
the United States military nation SO
well prepared in arms and might that it
could go forth and whip the entire world?
There are many ways of looking at this
question, and it seems to us that he is
looking at it through the wrong end of
the telescope.
In one part of his speech in the House
of Representatives on October 18th, he
regrets the fact that we have no BUSY
Bertha s. or AZ centimeter guns such as
were employed by the German army in its
terrible raid on Belgium, and its devasta-
tlol of countless ancient models of arch
itecture, cathedrals, Notifications and
cities. Does Mr.. Gardner think for a
moment that if this country was invaded
by foreign foe that it would be neces-
sary for use, except in our coast defen-
ces, to employ big guns to demolish any
city in this country? We have no armed
cities in the United States such as the
old countries have, for very obvious rea-
sons which history can easy tell IF the
money spent on our army and navy,
such as has been appropriated by Con-
gress, does not represent the moneys
worth, then the fault should be found
and remedy supplied. Mr.. Gardner
says he is willing to spend seven hun
dred million dollars year if necessary
to put the country in position to be
prepared for War. This amount repre-.
sents what it cost Germany to keep up
its army and navy in 1918, with the
cost Of the British navy and the Japa.
nese navy added. The revenue of the
United States government for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1913 was $734.-
673,167. After deducting Mr.. Gard
ner's $500, 900, 900, we leave it to our
readers how best the government would
provide at least $500, 900, 900 more to
carry on the affairs of this country We
might suggest here that Mr.. Gardner,
or those who feel disposed to stand be-
side him in the matter. read over Presi
dent Wilson's message to Congress at
the opening session, December, 1914. in
which he stated that competent state
militia was the country's greatest safe
guard in case of trouble with any foreign
or domestic country. And here also the
idea occurs to us that, as each state
spends quite lot Of money for its state
militia, and erecting expensive armories
