Are You A Man of Brains
Or A Man of Prejudice?

One of the pet strategies of a GER
tain class of politicians in this State,
whenever they want to block some
policy that is sensible, is to direct ev-
cry available energy towards inf1am-
ing feeling of distrust as between
the counties on the one hand and the
city on the other They seem to
think that if they can fire up all the
passions of hate and suspicion, the &C
tivities of these passions will make
it impossible to bring the county and
city elements together on a basis of
honesty, fair play or craftsmanship.
AS a consequence, they do all they
can to invite resentfulness on the part
of the city against the counties They
likewise do all they can to awaken a
sense of fear and animositz@ On the
part of the counties toward the city
This is their plan for preventing CO.
operation. This is their plan for block
ing any tendency towards wholesome
and constructed teamwork
Time to Put Check on FaIsehood.
Surely, the hour has come in which
the good people of Maryland should
slash the mask from the faces of
these fomenters of hate There is no
reason for bitterness or distrust as
between city and counties. 1t is an
insult to the intelligence of our people
to intimate that they are so shrivelled
in their prejudices that they can't
rise to the majesty of manly action.
Any person who attempts to appeal
to a county mans prejudices rather
than to his judgment insults that
mans intelligence. Amy person who
attempts to strangle justice by awak
ening sectional feelings between city
and counties is an enemy to the sound
conscience of our State. No true
Marylander will be caught by such tao
tics. He will be too big. He will be
too shrewd He will be too intelli
gent in every sense of the word.
Opposition Will Be Crushed BY Truth.
Truth is the force which is going
to crush any effective opposition to
city extension. The good people of
the counties are not going to be swept
away by wild prejudices. They are
not going to listen to the deceptive
whisperings of intriguers. They are
not going to be frightened by fictitious
ghosts, conjured up by the anti-annex-
ationists for mere deceptive purposes.
The thinking, high-minded, we'll
meaning Marylander, regardless of the
county of which he is a resident, will
find out the truth. He will endeavor
to settle the city extension problem in
harmony with his conscience. He will
link his definite knowledge with an
action dictated by justice. He will
show that he has some of the instincts
and qualities of statesman and that
he can solve big problems on states
manlike basis.
That is all the city asks. The city
extension movement has no existence
outside of the range of right and JUS
tice. Cold hard facts, backed by in
telligence and reason, are the only
weapons with which city extension can

not a part of its ammunition. JUS
tice is the basis of the city's claim
To get away from this position is to
lose the whole fight. Hence, the I'M
portance of fighting on the level and
fighting in the open. Hence, the i'm
portance of fighting like chivalrous
men instead of hiding behind decep-
tions like skulking assassins.
No county man would like to be
classified as lacking mental capacity
A county man would resent any impu-
tation of mental weakness, IL aimed
at him directly. And, yet, every ap-
peal to his prejudice" is an indirect
belittlement of his brain. Any pro-
fessional campaigner knows you can't
play upon the prejudice of big
Drained men. On the other hand, they
all know that mental pygmies jump
every time prejudice calls. The real
difference between bigness and little
ness is the mystery of brain over pre-
judice Little men are stirred by
falsely infiamed passions; big men
think. reason and draw rational con-
illusions.
Possibilities and Limitations of Bill.
The best way to see the hollowness
of the anti-city extension champions
is to study the real aims and purposes
of the City Extension Bill. You will
then understand its possibilities and its
limitations The more the Bill is
studied, the more luminous appears its
purpose The more thoroughly the
Bill is understood, the more perfect be-
come the conviction that it not pre-
judicial to the counties. Indeed,
there is not a single element of harm
to any of the counties. On the other
hand, there is much of vital impor-
lance to the general welfare of the
city.
What Big City Means to the State.
If the speed of the city's growth is
conspicuously less than the speed of
it's rivals, it reflects upon the enter
prise of the State" Not only does
thee ity suffer in the National esti-
mate, but the country at large looks
upon the whole State as sleepy and
sluggish. Strong, aggressive, desira-
BILE outsiders will have no disposition
to come among us and live. Men,
with lions heart, don't like the COM
partnership of sloths. They prefer
states and people that seem to have
forward driving tendencies. They
prefer to pitch their tents where cities
are growing, not stagnating. They
prefer communities where there is
nothing so popular as progress, moth
ing so odious as inertia. They prefer
commemorative where the building
and expansion of cities are part of the
very life of all the people; where pyg-
nv views and selfish narrowness are
generally abominated..
That is the picture. That is the pros
pect which faces Marylanders at this
very moment Where do you stand?
What are you going to ask your repre-
sentatives in the General Assembly to
do?

English Warships Guard

New York, Feb. f3.-Seven steamers

While traversing waters about Eng

with heavy steel nets stretched between
them to sweep up mines and guard
against the torpedoes, the passengers
said.
For two days the conveys remained
constantly in sight of the liners and
merchant vessels.
Miss A. NJ. Anderson. Red Cross

passengers on the Aseania. told of the
escort of warships that accompanied
that ship.
q For two days, said fiss Anderson,
safhe convoys were always in sight. At
ter that time warships could just be
distinguished on the horizon. We learn
cd, however, that the different vessels
we saw were in wireless communica-

time we left England until American
waters were reached we were under
