COUNTY HOME RULE PROVIDED
BY BILL.
Measure Designed To Relieve Legis-
lature OF Burden or Local

Legislation affording home rule to
the counties of Maryland was intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Benz
nett. The bill, which is to add a
new article to the Annotated Code of
Maryland, provides a grant Of ex-
press powers to such of the counties
Of Maryland as shall adopt a charter
or form Of government under the
Home Rule amendment to the Con-
stitution ratified in 1915.
The act, which is designed both to
relieve the Legislature Of the trc-
mendous mass of purely local bills
which cucumber its proceedings and
to delegate to the counties the
powers of local self-government, pro-
vides for the Incorporation under
charters of such counties as may
wish it. Many Of the powers now
held by the County Commissioners
would be delegated to such corpor-
ations, the formation of which would
not alter the disposition of property
or the course of litigation occurring
under the County Commissioners.
All county officers, except those
whose election or appointment is pro-
vided for by the Constitution or the
public general law, are to be named
by the county. The establishment
of merit system in the naming of
such officials is permitted. The pro-
lection of county credit and the
amendment of the county charter
are also provided for.
The power of the County Councils,
the lawmaking bodies Of the coun-
ties, to legislate under this act would
extend to any case not inconsistent
with State law. The powers granted
in the bill are only to be exercised to
the extent that they are not provided
for by public general law. The bill,
which is intended to take effect June
1, removes the liquor question from
county Jurisdiction.
The bill was drawn by commits
sion appointed by Governor Harring-
ton at the suggestion Of Attorney
General Ritchie. The members of
the commission are DR.. Frank J.
Goodnow of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, Edward M. Hammond of
Ellicott City, J. Frank Harper of
Centreville, William Mines Maloy Of
Baltimore, 7. Scott Offutt of Towson,
F. Neale Parke of Westminster,
Jackson H. Ralston of Hyattsville,
Assistant Attorney General Ogle
Marbury and Attorney General

EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS AT
ARMORY.
Soul Stirring Sermons And Inspiring
Music Listened To By Large
Audiences. n

On Sunday the Elkton Armory
was filed with enthusiastic and ap-
preciative audiences, both morning
and evening, representing citizens
from all nearby towns, especially in
the evening, when at least 500 per-
sons gathered to hear Rev. Robert
E. Johnson, the noted evangelist,
who began four weeks campaign
in Elkton. Both of Mr.. Johnson &
sermons were plain and forceful, and
produced profound impression
upon his audiences. His sermons,
primarily, were to the christian peo-
pie who expect to exert an influence
over their unsaved friends and rela-
tives, and particularly dwelt upon
prayer, as the most important thing
in the campaign. without which, he
said, it will be useless for anyone to
try and win soul to Christ.
Rev. Mr.. Johnson has already won
the confidence and esteem OF the peo-
pie of this community by his pleasing
manner and loyalty to the cause
which he has espoused as his life's
work.
A chorus choir of about $50 voice
furnishes music at each service, Prof
A. Z. Arlander renders vocal and
cornet solos and Mr.. Harlan Foulke
gives special piano selections, and
the occasion is one of musical delight
to the audience.
The Armory is comfortably heated
and seats are provided for about
100 persons and everybody is in
vited to attend.
Mrs. Johnson has charge of the
children's meeting each afternoon
and Miss Killian has charge of the
Bible study.
Anyone who does not attend the
Armory meetings misses the best op-
portunity this county has ever Offer
ed to its citizens Of nearing the best
musical talent, and the most soul
stirring sermons. Let every COM
munity make up delegations and at
tend. You are welcome.

John Barleycorn is a bad old fell

Such is the substance of the YER
dict that the Maryland Legislature
has rendered in the case of the Peo-

meaning of the action of the House
of Delegates on Thursday evening of
last week when it joined the Senate
in giving majority in favor of the
ratification of the Prohibition
Amendment to the Federal Constitu-
tion by vote Of So to AZ.
The resolution, by this vote, was
advanced to the third reading file. 1t
will come before the House in few
days for final action. When the
Senate and House shall have voted
for ratification this action will be
certified to by the Governor to the
Secretary of State at Washington
If 35 other states indorse the amend
ment it will then become nation
wide law. Seven years are allowed
for action by all the states. At the
speed, however, at which the Anti

in behalf of ratification it looks as
though the whole job may be conf
pleted within two years.
One year remains If the amend
ment is ratified by three-fourths of
all the states in which all supplies
