How will the nations reconcile race

If the survival of the fittest is very law of

While these questions are being an

The Democratic caucus of the members
of the Maryland Legislature in the lower
House was held at Annapolis Tuesday
evening last for the purpose of naming
a Speaker to preside over that body
Thirty-four members were present and
nominated Mr.. Philip D. Laird. of this town,
for the honorable position. Twenty-Five
members declined to 90 into the caucus.
In this number three Of Montgomery
Delegates are included essrs. Brooke
Waters and Gardner. Their refusal to eau
Gus was based on opposition to Mr.. Laird.

fractional spite. The other boilers were
made up of Preston's Baltimore force, II

members and the caucus nominee. declare
they will vote for anybody but Laird and
offered to vote for David G. Mcintosh, Jr.,
of Baltimore county.
The only explanation given by their
spokesman of their attitude toward Mr..
Laird is that his election would be dis
tasteful to Senator Lee. They freely ad-
init his qualifications for the Office.
Robert E. Lee. chairman of the city dele
cation, declared the delegates he repre-

of Baltimore city. announced that he would
fight for Laird until h freezes over"
Mr.. Hall also tainted the city men in
the Lee-Preston camp with descriptions of
Mayor Prestons methods.
The Senate organized by the election of
Senator Peter j. Campbell as President

Governor-elect Harrington. after a con-
ference in Baltimore with party leaders of

elected today and that the deadlock could
not continue.

RedfieId Sees U. s. Boom.

Secretary Of Commerce VIM. c. Redfeld.
in New Years message to American
business men, declared a year of unpre-
cedented prosperity was ahead of the
United States. His message is as follows:
The year just closed has placed the
United States in position of commercial
Dre-eminence such as no country ever
before occupied. The year just beginning
should strengthen that position, and will,
if the country only utilities the opportuni-
ties offered.
only little over year ago we were
a debtor nation, with every outward pros
pect of looking to Europe. as we so long
had done, for the funds with which to
build and develop our railways, utilities
and other enterprises. Within the year
all this has changed. We have paid
Europe vast sums that we owed her in
the shape of securities-perhaps as much
as $500, 100000 has been paid-and
we have loaned her something like $780,
100000 besides. On the current mer-
chandise business of the past year the
world will owe us a $2,000.000,00 bal
ance We have accumulated the greatest
reserve of gold the world has ever seen.
For the future your every prospect is
bright. AS the country has become steadily
prosperous the proportion of war orders
business has become less and is rapidly
being absorbed in the more normal output.
One of the largest machinery manufac-
.turers in the country told me this week he
wanted no more war ORDERS for he had
more than he could do in this regular
trade. The railways are becoming more
prosperous and there are large arrears of
work for them to do. which will keep many
busy. There is no fear of excessive taxa
ton here in America. The much-discussed
cost of national defense would all be paid
II we could stop unnecessary fires for a
single year.
I'VE have modified our finances II we
mobilize our industries with equal skill
If we will cut our commerce customs and
abuses. long acknowledged to be harmful
I to it-there is no reason why we need fear
anything or anybody"

come to think of him as a real, tangible
force, rather than mere bogy of the i'm
aeination.
That the cost of living is higher than it
was some years ago no one will dispute.
1t is unfortunate, however, that in seeking
the why, most of us have formed opinions,
and sentiment has been developed, on the
basis of personal sophistries rather than
a study of real causes Taking a some
what selfish view, we have assumed unto
ourselves certain grievances. We have
spent so much time thinking of supposed
injuries that we have almost entirely over
looked the greatly increased benefits which
have come to all classes as a result of
rising prices Possibly we have even con-
ceived that the general advance has bene-
fitted everybody but ourselves
But, let us not forget that if the cost of
living has increased. so has the kind of
living changed. Who of us would be will
ing to 60 back to the mode of living of
our grandparents2 The days of inconven-
fence and isolation have long since passed.
Progress has brought numerous marked
changes. There has been evolution-one
might almost say revolution. With the
march of events our wants have increased.
The out-of-reach luxuries of the good old
days have gradually become our neces-
stiles. True, it is costing us more to live,
but where is the man who would be willing to
trade present living standards for the old 7
Surely incomes have increased in full pro-
portion to expendtures-and much more,
as little study and comparison will show.
In the increased prosperity which has
come to all industries and all classes, the
local merchant has shared to a less degree
than any other. Where formerly he prac-
tically commanded the trade of a COM
munity. his business is now on a purely
competitive basis. With necessarily de-
creased margins have come largely in
creased demands for service. His profits
must now be made not so much from SELL
ing as in careful buying and the multitude
OF small economies which greater efficiency
and better methods have enabled him to
accomplish.
