WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY

How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him that bringeth good
tidings. that publisheth peace; that
bringeth good tidings of good, that
publisheth salvation; that saith unto
Zion, Thy God reigneth.
Thy watchmen shall lift up the
voice; with the voice together shall
they sing; for they shall see eye to
eye. when the Lord shall bring again
Zion
Break forth into joy, sing together,
we waste places of Jerusalem; for the
Lord hath .comforted his people, he
hath redeemed Jerusalem.
The Lord hath made bare his holy
arm in the eyes of all the nations; and
all ends of the earth shall see the sal
walton of our God.-Isaiah 52:71-10.

make one OF the most interesting
chapters of the war. We have had no
organization with which it might be
compared. The Vigilance committees
of the west some years ago accom-
plIshed much the same purpose in q
local way that this hand of patriots
has accomplished in a national way.
But the yigilants made their own laws
and the justice they administered,
while rarely at fault. was crude If eff
fectual
But this distinctly American organi-
zation which sprang into being as a
result ef the war, or rather as result
of disloyalty here al home, worked
even more secretly than did the Vigil
lants and their procedure was always
strictly in conformity with the law.
With personnel composed of the
most loyal and sound-minded citizens
in each community. the league had the
government back of it. Thousands OF
arrests OF disloyal, seditious or treas
enable citizens followed information
supplied by the members of the league
and there is no doubt but that its ac-
tivity and thoroughness in the matter
prevented a spread of dangerous prop
uganda and resulting antagonism to
the war.
Such an efficient and wholly trust
worthy organization should become
permanent Not for the purpose OF
persecution but to serve as power to
suppress the greatest economic men
ace this country has today, that OF
American bolshevism.

WHY AnANpoN THIs LEAGuEi

1t is with real regret that patriotic
citizens who have any knowledge of
the work of that organization viii
learn that the American Protective
league has been disbanded, in the be-
lief that its usefulness ended with the
end of the war.
This was an organization unique in
history and the story of its achieve
nents. If they are ever published. viii

OLD STORIES RETOLD
Odd Facts Gathered From Files
OF The Old Annapolis Gazette,
1871.

The Gazette is advocating General
Grant for the presidency in 1872.
The Potomac railroad was building,
the grading being nearly all done.
The Zephyr Glee club gave a con-
cert and hop in the New Assembly
Rooms.
Judge Thomas A. Spencer was adj
mitted and qualified as an attorney of
the Court of Appeals.
Oysters were selling at Is cents a
bushel but there was an organized
movement among the oystermen for
better prices.
A farm of 223 acres at Horshoe
Point, with new brick building 36x2S
and otherwise well improved, was of
fered for sale at $6.500
Many of the names appearing in the
old files of the Annapolis Gazette of
nearly fifty years ago are meaningless
to the present younger generation.
But there are some, the very mention
of which will serve to recall very dear
memories to many of the older resi-
dents of Annapolis.
1t might be of interest to present
day advertisers to note that the price
of advertising space in the Gazette
was $3.50 for six lines, making the
rate per inch more than $500, yet
flour was only $3.50 barrel and cof-
fee &c to soc a pound, while board
and room at what appears to have been
the leading hotel was but $500 day
In January, 1871, the weather was
extremely cold and an account is given
of the steamer Kent, of the Maryland
Steamboat company. having met with
accident by being cut through by ice
on her way from Baltimore to this
city. She still lies at the wharf
hemmed in by ice" There was much
snow and bitterly cold weather and
the merry jingle of sleigh bells re-
sounded through the streets"
The office of sheriff appears to have
had many attractions in 1871 and there
was, in the language of the editor. mo
exhausting the number of gentlemen
who are willing to exchange the COM
forts and ease of private life for ar
duous duties of the sheriffalty." Those
mentioned as aspirants are P. Dorsey
Carr, William Stewart, Alex Clayton,
William Black. Henry Chairs, Samuel
E. Duvall, Eli Gather, Benjamin
O'Hara.
