It was old Sam Johnson of diction-

on the verge of starvation.
Though in their early manhood Wei
lington and DiSraeli were both gTavely
handicapped by debt. neither Of these
great men ever suffered anything like
the privationS that President Lincoln
and President Garfield did. Most men
can at least declare there were four
walls around them when they were
born into the world. hut even this
poor Lincoln hardly could boast.

AzTECG' FEAST UF ,,5l LEAD
Custom of Burning Up an Image OF
the Departed Is Still Common
Among Indians of California.

The religion of the ancient Mexi-
cans seems TO have been character
lied throughout by a peculiar blood
thirStiness, involving constant human
sacrifice. The feast of the dead was
celebrated after this fashion:
"They took faggot of ocotl, which
in Spain would be called pitch wood,
and they dressed it up in blanket on
dress. II the dead person had been
woman, they dressed the faggot in her
petticoats and put it in front OF couh-
ing pots ana other household utensils
If the dead person had been a chie.
ana valiant man, they dressed the
faggot In a rich mantle and Wais
cloth and labret and gave it n hand
full Of pitch wood. The lahret was
made Of piece of amber or crystal
This, which they were accustomed g.
wear when they drank or danced il
their native ceremonies hung dow
from hole pierced through the lip
They seated the image on a sleeping
mat and they put there much fooC
and they invited the principal mcp
there. Then they put fire to The pitch
wood and everything which they had
put there burned up"
The custom of burning up IN image
together with offerings for the dead
was not only found among the Aztec>
but is also common among The Indians
of California today-The Southern

Letters to the Editor

be superior in every way to his OPP
ponent, and yet may not take the same
view that we do of some measure we
regard as vitality important. How can
we be represented on that issue?
Without the initiative we have no re-
course but to vote for the inferior
man who, while expressing our senti-
ments on that measure, may misrepre-
sent US on everything else. With the
initiative. we can support our candi-
date with the feeling that we may re-
sort to direct action upon any par
ticular measure, should sufficient oc-
casion arise.
Our bi-cameral system of govern
ment affords many opportunities for
interested members TO block needed
legislation One of our delegates
pointed this out few days ago, say
ing that while formerly opposed to the
initiative principle, his experience at
Annapolis has shown him its import
ance. The State always suffers more
through the failure of good measures
than through the actual passage of
vicious ones. And to the extent that
this is true, the initiative is a more
important public safeguard than the
referendum.
The representatives of more than
half the States of the Union have al
ready submitted this reform TO their
voters. In every case it has carried
by heavy majorities, although in few
instances difficult Constitutional re-
quirements have delayed its adoption.
Maryland a leader in so many things
has not yet had the opportunity to
express itself; and it is the duty OF
our present General Assembly to pro-
vide this if we would maintain our
/ reputation as a truly progressive
! State.

The government is investigating
concrete as a material for Ocean-go-
ing vessels, IL having, through the de-
partment of concrete ship construc-
ton of the shipping board, let three
contracts. These contracts are pro
visionally for a number of ships. but
are contingent upon the seaworthiness
and satisfactory character of the first
ship built, which building will be un-
der the direction of the Shipping
Board. The design of these vessels is
such that the boilers, machinery and
fittings of the government standard
wooden ship can be used. which fit
tings will be available for installa-
tion when the stone hulls are launch
ed. After official test. if il is found
that the concrete ship is what its
sponsors claim for it. it is expected
that the question of concrete barges
for harbor and inland waterway
transport will soon be taken up with
the various government bureaus con-
cerned with that work.
There is something little perplex-
ing in stone ship to the layman-to
one who has no engineering education
But there is no doubt that reinforced
concrete vessels can be made to navi-
gate the waters successfully, and
when this fact is established it seems
that considerable time can be saved
in the yards when a boat is poured
rather than built of steel or wood
The outcome of the experiment is be-
ing watched with universal interest
over the country, and if proven sea-
worthy and dependable, America
ought to soon have at its command a
great American marine, each vessel a
stone castle riding proudly and con-
fidently upon the rolling pillows of
the seas.

Secretary Daniels was right, when
in his speech to American labor, he
said that not only were the soldiers
on the battle front fighting the battle
of America, but every man who drives
a rivet, every man who shapes a shell,
every man who fells a needed tree and
every man who helps sail a ship, are
fighting for the cause of democracy.
The Secretary, while he mentioned but
a few OF the industries which are di-
rectly aiding in the war. did not in
tend to omit those other occupations
which are keeping the wheels of COM
merce and trade revolving, but he
meant that America was united and
that German propagandas, appealing
to the prejudices Of American labor,
had failed to swerve these men from
their allegiance 10 their nation. They
are Americans first.

To the Editor: viii you permit me

bly,? / refer TO the Warfield-Dela-
blaine Constitutional Amendment pro-
viding the citizens of Maryland with
the right Of initiative on legislation
for which q considerable sentiment
exists but which for some reason or
other does not pass the Legislature.
This measure. the most important
part of the initiative and referendum
principle, failed by one vote of getting
the necessary three-ffths majority in
the Senate in 1914, so that only the
referendum was submitted. In the
1916 session il passed the Senate with
only six votes recorded against it, but
its opponents controlled the Consti-

succeeded in delaying it until too late
10 pass the House.
