ager of the Savage Mill. Later
he disposed of his interest in this
mill and bought an interest in
the Thistle Mills at Leicester.
In this workaday career Mr..
Blakeney had one big diversion
"a very dangerous diversion
for a Woodworking business man
but he managed not only to
escape any wiles it may have
practiced but to pull through it
with high measure of success.
This diversion was politics. In
fact, the past tense is somewhat
out of place. Mr.. Blakeney
never lost his taste for the game.
He just tumbled into the
political maelstrom in 1895,
That was the year of the big
political upheaval. The Demo
cratic party had been in power
a long time. 1t had become
rather bold in its evil ways. The
people went after it. Mr.. Blake
ney was one Of their instruments.
They elected him one of the
three Commissioners Of Balti-
more county. His term was SIX
years, but he quit in 1000 to go
to Congress. AS County Com
missioner Mr.. Blakeney became
part of the daily life Of the
people of Baltimore county. for
this office is the county govern
ment. First and foremost, it
levies the money and supervises
its distribution. Mr.. Blakeney
knew what a dollar is worth. He
fought for the full worth Of it in
public expenditures. His admin
istration marked a decided de-
parture from the old order of
things. The public debt was
largely reduced. although the
lewes for public education were
larger than ever.
IF thorough going. welI-bal-
anced business man may be said
to have hobby that
hobby with Mr.. Blakeney 10
education. He struggled TO get
his own. He is willing to fight
his hardest in helping to smooth
the way for any boy or girl to
get theirs. This praiseworthy
Hobby brought upon Mr..
Blakeney considerable labor, for
Governor Goldsborough in
1912 named him member of
the School Board for Baltimore
Those schools have for
a long time had a fine reputa-
ton among educators. Mr.. |
Blakeney maintained the stand
ard always and sought to ele-
vate it wherever it was possible f!
to do so.-Advertisement.

been abroad driving ambulances in France
Other men have been presidents Of rife
clubs and have shown a capacity for lead

been ahead Of Boy Scout movements and
other public enterprises. II is rather hard
to define specifically. but the general type
we all recognize when we meet him is the
man who is clean-cut and Of strong. Wig

the limits Of his age and has shown some
pre-eminence over his fellows"
