reform in municipal matters q necessity.
Chicago is in like case and other cities
are following in their train, but Balti-
more sleeps. One side of her brain
wakes up when a fight is on between
different factions, but the other side,
which should be concerned in reform,
regards the struggle with the same
detached indifference which her citizens
would exhibit over the result of con-
fiict between Zulus and Matabeles.
Never once does it occur to Baltimore
that the fight is over her and her
property and that the expenses of
such fight have to be borne by her
people.
Although in the respects indicated as
well as many others, she has fallen far
short of her duty not alone to those
within her borders but to the whole
State of Maryland, Baltimore demands
as thing of prime Importance that her
boundary posts be extended further into
the country. Baltimore apparently
thinks, and we may say it in sorrow,
that bigness and greatness are synony-
nous. To an outsider this seems as
reasonable as if man expected his
soul to be enlarged by taking on more
flesh and displacing more atmosphere
1t may be that Baltimore Is a better
housekeeper than the counties and to
this extent deserves credit; it may be
that the individual FIVE dollar bill cor
ruption of the voter is more general IN
the counties than in Baltimore. The
real corruption of the voter, however,
is greater in Baltimore, because of the
wider extension of governmental func-
tons without restraint upon responsible
authorities in the disposition of Office,
the larger number of rewards to the
machine and the unbridled rapacity of
great interests. Because of these
things, it can we'll be understood why
it is that the counties are comparatively
indifferent to an enlargement of the
area OF Baltimore City.
Let Baltimore move forward. Today
If she walks at all-and she never runs
it is in her sleep. Let her learn that
there are real municipal issues and find
herself as other cities are finding them
selves. There is due to her long
trying course of regeneration. Reform
is very difficult to those who have never
believed in their need of it, and such is
the case with Baltimore. Outsiders can
help little. Reform must come from
within. Until it does come; until there
arises among her citizenship men of
courage and determination,
who do their duties know, but know
their rights,
And knowing dare maintain them.
Baltimore will continue to lag, and
no mere geographical extension will
cleanse her soul Of its manifest i'm
purities.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1917-03-01

We enter the train at famous old
Newport News, and are whirled away
at the rate of 40 miles an hour and are
soon in Richmond, Va. l can't say
much for the country through which we
pass, it is low, fiat, swampY in places
and generally uninvtng, but when you
enter Richmond that is quite another
proposition. We pass through the
original capitol of the state Williams
burg. Here Patrick Henry's eloquence
and his courage took the members of
the House of Burgesses by surprise,
when he read his resolutions that led to
/ the declaration of the states for indie
pendence. But Patrick Henry was
game. His voice began to thunder, his
stocked body stood erect, his eyes flash
ed and in the midst of cries of treason
he exclaimed, Caesar had his Brutis,
Carries the First had his Cromwell and
George the Third may profit by their
example. If this be treason make the
most of it." But he carried the day,
and was known as the voice, and with
Jefferson the pen, and Washington the
sword they flung out their protest in
| favor Of human freedom. Henry was
the man Of the people" and with JEFF
ferson, were the leaders of the people
in the great political agltations.
He was master in playing on the
cords of the human heart lie it was
who broke down opposition, in the
debate on the Stamp Act, by his elo-
quence. In this he carried the first men
of Virginia, as he had the rustic crowd
IN his speech against the clergy. He
was the head Of the extreme revolution
lists and he stirred the people to resolute
resistance.
Jefferson the aristocrat, was a tall,
thin, red haired, jolly fiddle playing lad,
making romantic love to little beauties
with whom he danced in the Apollo
room in Raleigh Tavern.
In the same room he afterwards in
augurated the revolution. He was a
thinker, politician and the writer of
that time, a political agitator and a
social leveler.
In the old St. Johns church. on hill
above the falls of James river at Rich
mond, the Virginia convention was as
sembled and Patrick Henry moved that
the colony be put in state of defense.
1t was at this time in defending his
proposition that he made the great
speech that so many school boys have
committed, in which he said: "Our
chains are forged; their clanking may
be heard on the plains of Boston. The
next gale that sweeps from the north
may bring to our ears the sound of re-
sounding arms. know not what course
others may take, but as for me, give
me liberty or give me death. The echo
of that speech was heard in the rattle
of musketrv at Concord. Washington
became the sword bearer for the
colonies. By a singular chance the war
came to an end within few miles of
the place where Patrick Henry had
sounded the first note of resistance.
In Richmond you find beautiful city
of over 100000 inhabitants. We enter
an auto and see the city. Up Main
street, the chief business section, we
find some very substantial buildings,
the main attraction being one that is
eighteen stories high, which is pointed
out with some degree of pride. 1t is a
fine structure. Then to Capitol square.

WOODSMAN KILLED
Employe of Kendall Lumber
Company Met Death Near
Shafer.

ElmOre Moreland, an employe of the
Kendall Lumber Company, met an un-
timely end while engaged in telling
trees in the woods near Shafer, West
Va, the southern terminus of the lum-
Der company railroad, on the 18th of
February, when a falling tree caught
him beneath it and crushed him to
death.
The deceased was held in high esteem
by everyone, especially those with
whom he worked and associated. He
is survived by his widow, his father,
several brothers and sisters He was
a member of the Dunkard church for a
number of years and remained faithful
to his VOWS.

State Library is worth seeing, and con-
tains the results of the great brains of
this and former ages.
The Governors residence Is plain but
commodius. Then we HE down Broad
street which is lined with handsome
residences. Jefferson Hotel, covering
square is the great hosiery of the
city. Rupert's hotel, Richmond and
Murphy's while they look massive are
not to be compared with this one.
We saw the home of Chief Justice
John Marshall whose name is forever
linked with the history of our ma ton.
He was famous in his day, and his
name is yet held in grateful remem-
brance.
The High School, named in honor of
Justice Marshall is credit to this, or
any city. 1t betokens the esteem in
which the people regard a first class
education. The Medical College is
grinding out its grist of new doctors
some of whom will doubtless take
high rank in their profession while
others will fall by the wayside. That
however will depend on the men them
selves. Nearby is a hospital, fully
prepared TO care for scores of unfortu-
mates.
The Confederate Museum is filled
with relics of the late unpleasantness.
The confederate soldiers home is
pointed out with interest. 1t is not pre-
possessing, but plain two story build
ing, comfortable enough for the old
veterans who risked their all in the
cause they loved. The Miller and
Rhodes dry goods store covers an entire
block. 1t compares with the best in
our country.
Down Franklin street we glide, amid
the fine residences of the city, to
Monroe Park and Terrace. Stewards
monument marks the entrance to monu-
ment avenue, about half way down we
pass Lees monument. The old hero
and soldier beloved by his men, seems
to greet you. While at the end of the
avenue is the monument of Jefferson
Davis. Near by is Battle Abbey with
its multitude of war relics and remi-
niscences. of historical interest and
value. Through Reservoir Park we go,
then turn back taking Grove street.
We pass some handsome churches,
among them the Cathedral, the Jewish
Synagogue and others too numerous to
mention. Old St. Johns church in
what is known as Manchester is an in
teresting spot.
1t was built in 1741, making it over

Uric acid in meat excites the kid

the bladder is irritated, and you may
be obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be a real sick person shortly. AT
first you fell dull misery in the
kidney region, you suffer from back
ache, sick headache, dizziness, stom-
Iach gets sour, tongue seated and you
fell rheumatic twinges when the
weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of wa

grapes and lemon juice, combined

generations to clean clogged kidneys

Of irritation, thus ending bladder
