MOTORCYCLE OFFICER
TO WORK THIS SECTION
Reckless Driving Causes Commits
siOner to Appoint Man Here.

So many reports of reckless driving
in this end of the State haye reached
the office of State Automobile Com
missioner E. Austin Baughman that he
has appointed Frank Young, Cumber-
land, to be special motorcycle officer
for Allegany and Garrett counties. He
began his duties May l under the direc-
ton of the local deputies. Unless there
is decrease in reckless driving,
wholesale arrests will be made.
Mr.. Young Is the first motorcycle
officer appointed in this section, and
will spend all his time on the road be-
tween Belle Grove and Oakland.

will still be Republicans, and so on.
Precisely! And the II, 1913 declined
voters, mugwumps, fioatess or what
one chooses to call them, who are not
affiliated with any party will still decline
to affiliate and can sway every State
election if they are appealed to by a
popular local candidate Many of the
regular party men would also be IN
fluenced by local pride, the effect of
which is undoubted and is seen in every
election. The slender majorities by
which both Ex-Governor Goldsborough
and Governor Harrington were elected
show plainly how handful of voters
could turn the scale in this politically
close State.
But the city's control of elections
would rest primarily on the fact that
political leaders would cater to the ma
jority of the voters In making nomina-
tions. Leaders still select candidates,
even with our modified convention sys-
tenn; if we should ever come to direct
primaries for State officers the city
simply could not loose 1t would be one
big county, larger than all the other
twenty-three counties put together.
The city would have the single motive
of one community, while the counties
would be handicapped in the right by
their diversity of interests.
There is danger in giving the city a
majority of the voters of the State
which perhaps is greater than that in
volved in the election of officials. In
1915 the people ratified the Referen-
DUN Amendment to the Constitution,
under which majority of the voters
may nullify any law passed by the
Legislature and signed by the Governor,
with the exception of bills regulating
the sale of liquor and. to a limited ex-
tent, appropriation bills. Surely such 6
power would be dangerous if placed
within the reach of any one unit of the
State.

FOR THE CARE OF
SOLDIERS FAMILIES
Congressman Zihlman Introduces
Bill ApprOpriating S5,0O0,000
for DEPENDENTS.

Washington, d. c., May Repre-
sentative F. N. Zihlman yesterday in
troduced bill providing for an ap-
preparation of s., 600, coo for the care of
families and dependents OF soldiers,
who volunteer or are drafted into the
Federal service, not to exceed $50 per
month, said money to be expended I'M
der the direction of the Secretary of
War, and not to exceed the amount the
enlisted or drafted men has been con-
tributing monthly to the support of his
family.
The bill also provides that it shall not
apply to such men as shall marry after
the 9Th day of April 1917. which is the
date the war resolution was signed.
Mr.. Zihlman is taking into consider
alton the advice given by the British
and French commissions that this coun-
try should prepare for long war.
While the amendment offered by
Congressman Zihlman to the army bill
to increase the pay of privates and
non-commissioned officers was defeated,
practically the same provisions were
carried in the bill as it finally passed
the house.
Mr.. Zihlman also wanted to increase
the age limit for the selectiye draft and
this feature will be urged by the con-
ferees on the part of the House.
In an interview Mr.. Zihlman stated:
IAN appropriation of 50, 100000 was
passed at the last session of Congress
providing for the care of dependents
of the soldiers on the Mexican border,
and this has been almost exhausted.
Even with the small increase in pay to
the soldiers that will eventually be
granted under the amendment to the
draft act, 1t is necessary that provis-
ions be made for those who have de-
pendents. While members of the Ma
tional Guard may make application for
exemption, many of them will not do
so, and their families like those of other
enlisted men, volunteer and drafted,
must be taken care of. Now that we
are in war the most sound and practical
foundation should be made for its pro-
secution with as much fairness and as
! little suffering as is possible.

The COST OE WAR.

Posterity will set truer value upon
what is passed along to it if it be called
upon to help settle the bill. By all
means, let US of today shoulder gener-
ously the financial weight of our war
for the new birth of freedom, but let
US not deny wholly to our children and
grandchildren the bond of unity and
strength that will be found in the COM
mon opportunity to help pay the cost
of their liberties in terms of present

SUFFRAGE SUNBEAMS.
DO YOU KNOW


That President Wilson, through his
Secretary Mr.. Tumulty, declares that
he hopes with all his heart that the
Maryland Presidential Woman Suffrage
Bill will pass in the special session of
the General Assembly at Annapolis. A
similar bill has just been passed in
Rhode Island, Michigan and Nebraska
thus adding % more electoral votes to
the column of equal suffrage states.
If this bill passes the women of Mary
land will be granted Presidential, NUM-
cipal, Primary and Congressional Suf-
frage. Many assurances of support
have been received from labor organi-
cations, social and civic leagues, mem
bers of the legislature and from Sena-
tors Smith and France and Congress-
man Zihlman.
That Equal Suffrage is now establish
ed in II states. Presidential Suffrage
in states. Primary suffrage in l state.
That Because the United States is
entering into war for democracy the
time has come for the immediate en-
franchisement of women of the nation,
without whose help no war can be sue
cessfullY carried on. The United States
has no right to purport to battle for
democracy as long as millions of Ameri-
can citizens are arbitrarily and reason
lessly DISTINGUISHED.
There will be the regular monthly
meeting of the Just Government League
at the Court House in Oakland on MAY
7th.

THE DANGER is REAL

In an editorial entitled "Buncombe
for County Voters" the Baltimore
News on last Saturday attempted to
minimize the danger of giving the city
a majority of the voters of the State
through annexation.
after annexation, says the News,
'the city vote will divide on precisely
the same lines as it divides now" This
is understood to mean that Democrats
will still be Democrats. Republicans

WHY Be A PlKER?

Senator Hitchcock wants the news
papers to give their advertising space
to the government to sell United States

whole hog and ask the munitions manu-
facturers and the uniform makers and
the farmers to give away their means
of subsistence, too.
