My Maryland
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

The growth Of the collective conscious
ness OF the race is marked by its songs.
AT first we sing "a little song of me
and thee, the love song. Expanding a
bit We are able to roar in the chorus
which celebrates the virtues of THE
Highlanders, or ''The Men of Harlech,"
or "Old Amherst" or some other local
group. Widening still more in our group
appreciation we sing Deutschland Ueber
Allies" or "Britons Never Shall BE
Slaves" or Columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean" or THE Marseilaise."
Shall we ever get to singing about HUI
manity?
The nearest we come TO it at present
IS in certain Socialist hymns, and in the
Missionary songs of the Christian church.
In fact, suspect that future histo-
rians will credit Christian missions with
ioing no inconsiderable part in develop
ing that world passion which we will
have to possess before we can success
fully have a world federation.
It's queer how our sentiment lags be-
hind our intelligence. We already have
practical. operative internationalism in
almost every line of human endeavor;
commerce is international, and art. let
ters, and science, even capital, Is passing
over national boundaries, and labor is
distinctly world wide in its feeling. But
we can't sing it yet.
And that's the trouble. We never really
mean thing until we can sing it.
The narrower the sentiment of song
the stronger it burns and the deeper it
bites. Did you ever motive how Dixie
has much more rousement in il than My
Country, It's Of Thee?
During the civil war James r. Randall
got excited over the Massachusetts, troops
passing through Baltimore, and in the
heat Of his Indignation wrote Maryland,
Ny Maryland" which. set to the German
tune of "Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,'
known to all American college boys as the
tune to Laurger Horatius, became ia
nous.
1t still grips. The passion has outlived
the subject. The state feeling that in
Spired it was swept away by the merging
of the south, at the close of the war,
into the larger national consciousness.
But somehow Maryland, My Maryland"
although we never lived there, and it
means no more TO us than North Dakota
or Pike County. or Township 5, Range 3,
East, warns up our hearts.
Also, showing the strange ways of feel
ing. why does this Maryland song send
the shivers down my spine and make me
want TO wave my hat, while illinois, Hi
nois" has never got under my skin, and
came from Illinois, and love Illinois folk
as well as the next man. Why does that
illinois, Illinois" song, even though set
to the strain of Baby Mine and even
though sung by hundred banqueters,
led by the sonorous baritone of Governor
Yates-why does it somehow fall short!
The life and success Of song Is as
mvsteriously and undeniably in the secret
hands of the gods as the life and success
Of man.

The Crowds, the Cheers
Out West, But, Oh, There's
This Apathy In the East.

Charles K. Hughes is homeward bound
after having stumped the west IN the
interest of his candidacy for president OF
the United States.
And Charles E. Hughes is coming home
to an awful setback for his hopes II he
entertains any idea that his tour has
made an impression upon the country
such as would brighten his chances for
election.
The candidate en- route is quite likely
to. become very optimistic over his
chances.
Big crowds greet him everywhere, but
not because they are going TO vote for
him.
These crowds turn out to get look
1t big man-at man who made such
! magnificent record as governor Of New
York. and at man who held the i'm
portant place of justice in the country
highest court, and at man whose silence
( prior to his nomination for the first otlce
"a the land was rare bit of eloquence.
There is always a crowd out to hear
him at his meetings.
There are always enough of the faith
full pie hunters to pack hall in any
town.
And there are always plenty Of words
Of encouragement for the candidate.
For identically the same reason that
Hughie Jennings stands hopping around
down by third base, telling the batter
who has just struck at the ball for the
second time and missed it, to never
mind that, old man." while at the point
in fact of asking waivers on "old mar"
the district leaders get around the can
didate and tell him he is going to walk
in.
The candidate mustn't lose heart for
q moment, because if he did. the jig
would be up, and then-then what would
become of the jobs?
So they get around him and tell him
that sentiment here and sentiment there
is all in his favor.
And it works, usually, just like shot
of dope works on race horse.
But, as We said, Hughes is now on the
homeward lap.
He has BEEN met by the curious, cheer
ed by the faithful and jollied by the dis
trict leaders looking forward to future
residence in Washington in the pay Of
Uncle Sam.
He is coming home to drop to a disap-
pointment when he meets the leaders of
his party and asks them what they think
of him as ''stumper."
II they tell him exactly what, right
down in their hearts, they honestly be-
lieve to be the truth. they will tell him
that he failed to make hit.
They will go further and tell him, if
II Is not their purpose to deceive him, but
to be frank with him, that the stumping
tour was decided frost-in fact, a kill
ing frost.
Fine man. fine character; eminently
qualified for the office; big; brainy clear
and all that, but running in an impos
sible year.
The apathy proves it.

| the house it may be said that the prepar-
edness measure was not made partisan
issue but the political advantage, what
ever there may be of it, will go to the
Democratic congress and president,
But the people at large will let the
spellbinders quarrel over the political
glory, very largely, and wisely study two
very unusual and important features Of
the measure, features in which are IN
volved decidedly progressive principles or
policies, to-wit:
The measure provides Sll,o0o,ooo for
a government armor plant
The government has long been cheated
and gouged by an armor plate trust.
Under legislation, as permitted by the
United States supreme court, Uncle sam
has utterly failed to kill trusts.
He will now try competition.
II is a tremendous entering wedge.
There is also on the program S20,0OO,-
900 for a government plant to produce
nitrate.
Heretofore Uncle Sam has been al the
mercy Of foreign countries in the matter
Of this all-important ingredient Of war
munitions
He could raise men, money and guns in
plenty but was apt, at any time 10 be
caught without powder for his guns, a
silly and dangerous fix for any great
nation.
But, greater and better than plenty OF
gunpowder is the probability that, in
times of peace, Uncle's nitrate plant will
be turning out great quantities Of nitrate
for fertilizers.
II is the life-taking quality in nitrate
that most strongly impresses US in these
times. when our brothers across the
water are slaughtering each other, but,
later on. there will be no gardener, no
florist no orchardist. no farmer who will
not bless Uncle Sam for cheap fertilizer,
through the cheap life-giver, nitrate.
Another tremendous wedge, this time
driven into the foreign cinch, and, al the
same time. godsend TO all those who
produce and all those who consume food.
Government competition
Study it well.
It brings down domestic and foreign
birds of prey at tremendously long range
If the L. S. supreme court doesn't find
some excuse for declaring il ''unreason-
