COMMON FOLKS.

1t was Abraham Lincoln-well do
most of US remember. who said that
God must have loved the common
people, seeing that He made so many
of them.
How that sentiment has often cheer
ed our hearts! Somehow, we had sus-
pected it all along. But, as he had a
way of saying, this made it blndin'' -
And, best of all, he was one of US, and
not ashamed of the fact.
Nor was he alone of the great who
have seen in the common people far
greater measure of attraction than was
ever presented by their so-called bet
tiers. All sorts and conditions of men,
in so far as they posses the slightest
appreciation of literary genius, admire
the writings of Dickens and Thackeray.
More than that, they admire Thackeray
and Dickens. What is the secret?
Probably this, that Dickens had the
most wonderful sympathy for the com
mon folk of whom he wrote, although
it has been said of him that he could not
portray titled greatness, as witnessed
in his unsatisfying delineation of Lady
Dedlock.

BRIEF PLATFORM VIEW OF HILLES.
Only Planks Dealing " ith Vital Cues
lions Will Be Inserted.

Chicago. Ills, May 29.-Chairman
Charles D. Hilles, of the Republican
National Committee, tonight expressed
the opinion that the platform which will
be adopted by the convention next
month will be unusually brief and deal
only with the most vital public ques-
tions. From information obtained in
talking with party leaders on the sub
ject he believes the principal planks in
the platform will include the following:
A statement on Americanism.
A statement on preparedness or adj
equate military and naval defense.
A declaration in favor of protective
tariff to be prepared by non-partisan
tariff commission created by Congress
with special attention to the needs of
this country after the close of the
European war.
A declaration in favor of merchant
marine.
A statement dealing with the alleged
shortcomings of the Democratic adj
ministration.
On the question of national women
suffrage, Chairman HilIes said there
was difference of opinion and he did
not know what action the convention
would take on the subject.

of state taxes. By this change it is
calculated the state will save annually
500, 600 Another law transfers. to
the State Tax Commission all corpo-
ration taxation questions.
Other important laws becoming eff
fective are:
Regulating saloons in Baltimore
county.
Increasing traders and other licenses,
imposing taxes on different industries
and enterprises and levying 500 addi-
tional on all saloons and increasing the
taxes on hotels and theatres.
Abolishlng commissions for collection
of taxes in Baltimore.
Repeal of all continuing appropria-
tons.
Closing all saloons IN Sandy Hook

poses.
Repeating gallon-a-month law for

were created.
The Conservation Board, which held
its first meeting cd June 5, absorbed
the Shellfish Commission, the Fish Com
missioners and several other depart
ments. The State Board of Agricul-
tural will take up the duties of the Live

LlNCOLN'S TARIFF POLICY

the following was the Republican
party's tariff plank in the platform o,
1860:
That while providing revenue
for the pupport of the general gov
eminent by duties upon imports,
sound policy requires such an ADJUST
ment of these imposts as to en-
courage the development of the in
dustrial interests of the whole
country; and we commend that the
policy of national exchanges which
secures to the workingman liberal
wages, to agriculture remunerative
prices, to mechanics and man.
ufacturers an adequate reward for
their skill labor, and enterprise,
and to the nation commercial pros
perity and independence.
1t is not true, as President Wilson
has asserted, that the Republican party
has not had new idea in thirty years

reelection on tariff policy that dire ct
ly challenges the Republican tariff polio!

THE STATE FORESTRY SERVICE
WIN Enforce Law Against Advertis-
a.. ing Signs on Public Highways
On June LIST.

Since the Roadside Tree Law went
into effect little more than two years
ago the State Board of Forestry, Balti-
more, Md. which is charged with its
enforcement, has by means of Forest
Wardens throughout the State been
engaged in the elimination of advertis-
ing signs, supervising the trimming of
trees and assisting in the planting of
other trees along the highways. This
in itself is big task when there are
more than 16, 400 miles of roads to
cover and more than 1900, 600 trees to
be given protection and care.
This law, among other things, makes
it misdemeanor punishable by fine to
place any advertising signs within the
right-of-way of public highway, or on
private property without the written
consent of the owner. While most of
the roads are comparatively free of un-
lawful signs, there are.many violations
of the law even after two years of
publicity and the constant tearing down
of signs by the Wardens and others.
1t is the plan of the State Forester,
beginning June LIST, 1916, to make a
complete canvass of the State to see
that all illegal advertisements are de-
stroyed and to prosecute all violators
of the law. The law has beenigenerally
posted and sufficient public notice has
been given of it's provisions. Adver-
tisers should lose no time inLremoving
their signs before the State Forester S
men find them and use them as evidence
against the advertisers.

NEW LAWS ARE
NOW IN EFFECT
Acts of Recent General Assembly Be-
came Operative June LIST.

All laws enacted by the recent Gen
eral Assembly, unless otherwise de-
signated went into effect June 1st. One
exceptiOn-the act making changes in
the automobile laws-will become eff
fective July l. The act creating the
State Penal Board will become oper-
alive on October l, Emergency laws
become effective on the dates of their
passage. In only one case will there be
a resort to the referendum. This is a
law creating bond issue in Wicomico
county. Voters in the county have
asked for the privilege of saying at the
next election whether they approved
the proposed loan.
While the laws became operative
June 1st, the general public and those
most interested in them, including courts
and LAWYERS, will remain IN ignorance
of the changes until the Acts of the
General Assembly of 1916 shall have
been issued. No date is fixed for the
appearance of the volume. In former
years months have elapsed before the
laws have appeared in print. The pub
lie is further handicapped this year be-
cause the Attorney General selected
only limited number of laws of the
vast number enacted for publication in
the newspapers.
Among the more important statewide
laws that went into effect is one that
discontinues the discounts on payments

COMPULSOSY SUFFRAGE

In America we have discussed and
tried out at one time or another pretty
much all kinds Of suffrage, but little or
nothing has ever been suggested in the
way of Compulsory Suffrage. A big
daily making a specially of foreign
news contained long account the other
morning of the recent Presidential
election in Argentine Republic, para
graph of which follows:
The law which made voting secret,
also made it compulsory and every
voter who does not vote is fined 20
pesos. In order that attention may be
better focused on the election all
forms of amusement are prohibited
during the hours the polls are open.
Another feature which seems strange
to North Americans is that real interest
in the Presidential campaign is confined
to the week preceding the election. In
fact, the Radical party did not nominate
its candidate until a few days before
the election.
There is always great excitement
about election time in this country
about getting cut the vote, =" this OPP
peration being left to the respective
political parties, the idea being Of course
that the several parties were interested
in the enterprise to such an extent that
they would provide the means out of
their own war chests to transport the
greater part of the electorate to the
polls in automobiles. Therefore no one
seems to have thought of the expedent
of furnishing any other incentive to the
people to express their own will. This
Of course is an economic waste, and
the money squandered by the various
political parties in gasoline each year
could much better be spent in legitimate
advertising and printingin the eXploita-
ton, in simple form, of the various
campaign questions in order that those
who ordinarily have to be logged to the
polls in automobiles would know what
they were voting for and be anxious to
do it, which would have the two fold
advantage of distributing patronage
where it would do the most good and at
the same time have the effect of sub
hitting the selection of Office holders
and the consideration of public CUES
tions to a wiser and better informed
electorate. A fine of 20 pesos (pre-
sumably $500, as the financial aspect
the world over seems to be that amount)
would. we imagine, have a most ac-
celebrating effect of those many in
dividuals, good and free men, who re-
joice in the liberty of American citizen
ship and suffrage and who would fight
like furry were it denied them yet have
to be paid to take it, and would in the
long run inculcate a most wholesome
interest in our elections which now
must frequently be stirred up by dis
gruntal citizens jumping from one fac
ton or party to another and back again
as long as such gymnastics have the
effect of keeping them on the map and
out of office. Authority is unanimous
that the effective franchise lisa privilege
and duty of American citizenship, just
as much as duty as it is a privilege,
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1916-06-08

and it must be recognized that the
thousands and thousands of dollars
spent each year in the transportation
of American citizenship along the line
of its solemn duty could easily be saved
by an act of the Legislature making 1t
inversely interesting by requiring those
who refuse to be interested to pay a
fine of 20 pesos ($2 COZ.

ure, Passed by House, Now

charge of the measure, will work on it
today.
During the debate in the House yes
terday a proposal made by Representa-
tive Heating for a million dollar
government war munitions plant was
rejected. Representative Keating. in
offering the munitions amendment, said
1t presented a vital problem, and that
every United States arsenal except that

located in violation of fundamental
principles laid down by the Army War
College.
An attempt to have the $2,45o.eoo
carried in the bill for enforcement of
immigration laws increased by $200.000
was lost. Representatives Humphrey
said there was need Of the increase to
prevent smuggling of oriental labor

TELLS MEx1cANs WAR
EXISTS WITH AMERICA

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, June "a.
Circulars were distributed In
Matamoros, opposite here, today
declaring that the latest crossing
into Mexico of American troops
near here has been construed rs
declaration of war against Mexico
ON the part of the United States.
The circulars are signed by Gen.
E. p. Nafarrate. who signs himself
as commander of the Mexican
forces in the state of Tamaulipas.
The circulars, dated June II, de-
clare a state of war exists between
the two countries.
Apparently the circular was is
sued at the time of the crossing of
the Americans just west of
Brownsville last Saturday in pur-
suit of bandits, who attacked a de-
tachment of the 26th Infantry and
raided two ranches mar San Be-
nito. These troops were with
drawn Sunday last upon promises
of Mexican authorities to capture
and punish the bandits.
The circular declares all Amer
leans found in Mexico with arms
will be executed, but Americans
pursuing peaceful occupations
south of the Rio Grande who are
not armed would be protected.
