A HOME GUARD.


Annapolis needs Home Guard, and
an effort is being made to- organize
such a military protection for those
left behind
Recently these columns have advo-
Gated the necessity for a Home Guard
and a call was sent out by Major
Douw asking all who were willing to
join the Home Guard 10 apply TO him
al the Adjutant Generals Office.
With the local guardsmen about to
be called away TO war. Annapolis is
left without military protection.
We urge the organization of a
Home Guard. and that speedily. The
Capital gives its unreserved endorse
ment for captaincy of the Home
Guard to Capt Philip E. Porter, who
was instrumental in the organization
of the old city military Company G.
and who is thoroughly conversant
with the manual of arms.
Capt Porter would make an excel
lent officer for the Home Guard, for
which appointment there could be
none better.

Alexander Kerensky is regarded by

idol OF his people, the hope of the re-

confidence of men who are interna-
tional figures on the stage of action
today. Brilliant, resourceful. cultur-
ed. liberty loving and master of men,
he is slowly approaching the grave.

THE STRANGER cULPABLE.

We are told in the Good Book to en-
terrain strangers, for in doing so, we
entertain angels unawares-
II doth not appear that strangers in
Annapolis are always angels, unless
they be angels of his Satanic Majesty.
which of late has been forcibly
demonstrated
In the Brandon murder case, which
Is still shrouded in mystery. and as
far from solution as it was on August
s. the victim was stranger and some
OF those connected prominently with
the case we're out-of-town people
In the attempt at murder in REM
sons woods recently. both the colored
man and his wife had only been resi-
dents of this city for three short days.
In the recent hold-ups, and attempts
at burglary at Eastport, the men
have been strangers.
Certainly it Is not the native-born
Annapolitan who figures in the Grim
inal class, but il is the stranger with
in our gates.
We may be entertaining angels un-
awares. but they seem to take the
guise of Mephistophales, for our
strangers appear TO be tangled up
with trouble in double bow knot and
in the class that spells culpable-
some of them.

TALK OF nIGHER INTEREST.

Washington is as much the center
OF rumor as il is az government The
latest sample of whispered story" is
to the effect that the authorities plan
to float the next bond issue at AZ per
cent ana trust to the greater interest
rather than to advertising TO sell it,
Then. according TO the story. the plan
is to make the issue taxable
II is incredible that such PROPOSE
tion can be considered seriously. It
would lead to intsrminahle eomplica-
ton and great dissatisfaction The
sirst issue is convertible to any future
issue hearing higher rate of interest
Would the converted bonds be moved
from the non-taxable TO the taxable
column. II has been pretty wen es-
tablished that had a properly organ
lied advertising campaign been con-
Quoted the last issue could have been
floated at per cent instead of ~ per
cent. And there is no doubt the com
ing issue can be fioated at 5 = per cent
IL the advertising experts are allowed
to put il before the people II high
er rate OF interest be contemplated let
the difference be put into an advertis-
ing campaign and note what happens

these boys is now: not TO wish j;
