of my country l do this, first, be
cause the United States stands for
democracy; for the right of the peo-
pie to a voice in their government
Under this government l. have re-

ambitions Of the German Kaiser and
his advisers.
He has established a military sys-
tenn whose avnwed purpose is con-
quest.
He has waged war by barbarous
and inhuman methods, the principal
sufferers of which have been helpless
men and women and children.
He has encouraged course of in
struction by which the youth of his
nation have been educated to believe
in force and conquest.
He has repudiated treaties.
He has violated all the principles
of humanity and international law
in his treatment of the conquered
Belgians.
He has conspired against our coun-
try while at peace with US.
He has sought to embroil us in
war with other countries.
He has based his policy toward
other nations upon falsehood and de-

Judgment of the President that no

tThe Baltimore News said editori-
alIv. on October 4, 1913, of Mr.. At
wood:
1T is the duty of the City Survey
or to file a report each year OF his
receipts and expenses. II such re
port is not filed, the State Comptroll-
er should either demand it or else
the Governor should take action and
declare the Office vacant, which duty
is imposed on him by the Constitu-
ton
No such action was taken, but 1t is
worth noting that Mr., Atwood was
defeated for reelection by about
$4,000 majority.
AS noted above, it is the duty or
the Comptroller of Maryland to SUI
peryise all the fee offices of the
State and see that proper reports
are made to him. When the expen-
ses claimed in these reports seem to
him to be excessive, it is his duty to
make an investigation and disalloW
any claims that are not properly in
Cured. All this Mr.. McMullen has
done most ably, never pleading as
exemption for official dereliction ig-
norance of the constitutional provl-
sios controlling his office. Mr.. Nc
Mullen has never entertained the
view as apparently held by Mr.. At
wood and few others who are prone
to consider all the money that comes
| into their hands as legitimate gain
and when their error is pointed out
to them to plead ignorance of the

or. as the other five-siXths goes TO
pay his assistants. / should say that
wher- it is all figured up the net in
come of the City Surveyor. from Of
fetal sources, is little more than So
000 year.
Hut Mr.. Atwood did not increase
his office force while he was City Sur
yeyar His staff remained as it had
been before, and as it is now. In ad-
dition to this, the city paid his office
REM, so it is difficult to see wherein
he was put to additional expense.
The largest part of this big in
come of Surveyor Atwood came from
the very poor of the city, because it
came from what are called delln-
uuent tax sales-that is, when prop
ert.y is sold for the non-payment of
taxes At that time the City Sur
veyor received for each piece OF
property sold for taxes fee Of $3.50
for an alleged survey. This survey
really consisted in measuring the lot
with a tape line and the actual ex
pense was probably less than 81 for
each lot. In fact, when it was made
by assistants whose salaries were go
ing on all the same, the actual cost
was nearly nothing at all.
This fee OF $3.50 was assessed up
on he delinquent taxpayers. At that
time there were from 1000 to 1000
suc4. sales every year, so it can be

pruper discharge OF the duties de
yolving upon the Comptroller of the
Stale Treasury.
Politically, he has changed his par
ty Affiliations frequently. which is of
small interest: but il is OF interest
to note what has been his attitude
toward the fee system so properly de
nounced as vicious.
In 1909 the Republicans of Balti-
more city nominated Mr.. Atwood as
their candidate for City surveyor.
There was a Democratic slump that
wear and Mr. Atwood was elected.
He held the office for fOdr years
frc1l 1910 to 1918. inclusiye-and 1T
was then that he had his chance 10
do somet hing to recommend himself
to She voters and failed.
The receipts of the City Surveyor )
office in his term ran from SIG, 900
to $4,000 year in fees, as MI. At
wood admitted in an interview prin-
tedtin the Baltimore News on Sep
tenlber 16. 1913. Under Article XIV
Section |. of the Constitution OF
MARYLAND, all fee officers, except JUS

quality of performers in the juvenile
divisions.
That the harness racing sports or

American public, was demonstrated by
the fact that close to 1900 separate
race meetings were held in this cOun-
try during the season extending from
June to December.
