II he doe the .ori4er. he viii have
the confidence OF the people. If he does
the latter. his political goose is pro
verbialr cooked. and he is a dead ducsl
80 far aa further political aspiration
is concerned. some OF the people can
be fooled aoule OF the time. but you
can't FOO an of the people all the time.
Lawyers, citizens. taxpayers. mem
bers of the City Council do not APP
prove of che appointment Of the young
er man, because OF his unfmess. All
opposed bis appointment, but it had to
he to square matters" with the ring.
IL is bad enough to have one of those
two important Offices filled by man
whose business is in Baltimore. and
works for Baltimore concern. ana
who threatened. it is understood. to
move his family to Baltimore if he did
not get this political job. but il is
worse 20 have both magistrates non
taxpayers, men OF no practical expe-
rience along the lines OF this import
ant Office that demands experience.
We beg Of The gentlemen Of the or
gani2ation to withdraw these names
and substitute those fitted for the Of
ice. We urge that tie people be given
some consideration. and that harmony
may be restored. thereby between the
Senator and the organization for the
betterment OF Anne Arundel. the dear
old county which is near to our hearts.
STILL No FIRE ESCAPES.
Weeks aye months ago. this paper
called attention to the fact that there
are no fire escapes ON the public school
building. and yet nothing has been
done. Time after time grand juries
have recommended that there be fire
escapes placed on the building. but
their recommendation in this. as in
many other instances. has NOT been
needed. Suppose Sunday had been a
school day,with gale like that we OK !
perienced, Suppose there had been a |
gre az the public school ON such a day
rs that DO YOU think the little chill /
dron could have marched out in SAT-
ETY.? Hardly.
The best fire drills in the school +
would count for nothing in time Of fire
when there are no fire escapes and
only one or two ways to get out of the
burning building. oftentimes more
sre killed by being trampled to death
in n panic lhan by ire Should a IRE
occur in the public school. where there
are no nre escapes. should even one
child lose its life, the authorities who
could and should pace FIRE escapes on
the building would be criminals. Is
there no one in authority who can
compel those in charge Of school az
fairs to have fire escapes placed on the
school buildingl
February, not to be left, had its
blowout with all the rest Of the push.
Some people so around with an ex-
preston on their faces that seems to
ask the question: why did the avti-
choke?"
II men were required to get a diqlo-
ma for good citizenship. there wouldn't /
be many politicians TO possess a sheep |
skin.
Bit unkind TO publish the radio mes
sages between the Navy Department
and the commanders in Mexican wa
tiers in April, 1914. There's something
Secretary Daniels wants to forget
