The|lDemocratic Party
For Carroll County.
For Carroll County.

RESOLVED, by the Democratic State and County
Central Committees Of Carroll County that heartily
Conventn held in Baltimore September 18th last and
in addition state the position Of the Democratic Party in
Carroll County on matters of local concern to be:
That the financial policy pursued by the Republican
Board Of County Commissioners of Carroll County for the
past years paying for expensive permanent improve
Of annual is wsond and resulted in
unnecessary and burdensome increase in the tax rate
without yielding advantages whatever to the majority
of our citizens.
That the absence of proper system Of accounting in
the Treasurers Office and the absolute failure of the Co
y Commissioners to keep full minutes of their proceedings
is condemned; modern system of municipal accounting
should be adopted and full records of all their official acts
should be kept in order that the public any time
know the financial condition of the County and what has
and is being done
That the offices of Collector of Taxes and County
Treasurer should be consolidated in order nan
cial responsibility and promote efficiency.
That good roads are needed in many sections of the
County and branch roads feeders for the State SYSTEM
but the money required for their construction ought not to
be taken from the annual levy which should be used only to
finance the same thereby distributing their cost
number of years. instead of placing the burden the
shoulders OF the tax payers OF single year, which the
policy of the present Board of County Commissioners and
which, pursued will result in districts getting
improved roads schools during the present generation
That the public school system should be made ade-
quate for the needs of all our children, and
(a( No schools which have the number Of scholars
required by should by consolidation other
WISE except with the of the majority of the patrons
of such schools; and
(b) Sufficient salaries should be paid teaching
force competent instructors and those
who have made good, to remain In our service.
That the Democratic candidates strongly endorse these
of the County being the type of who will fairly and
ably represent the best judgment of citizenship all
public questions.

BRAKEMAN CRUSHED no DEATH

Thomas GOrSuch, 20 years old, la
Poplar street, Baltimore, a brake
man on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road was crushed to death Monday
in the Curtis Bay yards when two
cars which he believed to be equipped
with bumpers came together, catch
ing him between them. Gorsuch had
signaled the engineer to stop the
cars that he might change tne
switch. The engineer misunderstood
the signal and started one OF the
cars, which was joined to the other
by long chain. Gorsuch stood still.
The car not only mashed him, but
hit the other car with such violence
that both were considerably damaged.
His remains were taken to Waters
vile where service was held LID
Mount Olive church and interment in
the adjoining cemetery yesterday
morning.

In loving remembrance of our dear sister. Sadie

1915.
Give us faith, o God. to trust thee more: SO we
can say thy will is our wlr thou doeth all

It is hard for us to fathom' all OH the workings
Of the Creator, but some day
When the mists have raised in gladness
From the mountains and the hills
And the sunlight breaks i'm splendor
On the rivers and the rils;
We will read golden promise
In the rainbow of the spray,
We shall meet-and part no, never.

POLISH POGROMS STILL CON-
TINUE.

Two new pogroms in Poland are re-
ported in a cablegram to the Zionist
Organization of America via Copsn-
hagen, one by Polish legionaires on
May 22nd, at Porvck Volhynia, where
Is mostly women and girls were kill
ed, and another at Czenstochau on
May 9th, with death toll of 8. The
Jews of the latter city proclaimed
fast day on the 10th.
The Jewish members of the Polish
Diet, on May 22nd, addressed an open
letter to Premier Paderewski, detail
ing the outrages and setting forth
that the soldiery of General Haller's
army have been particularly conspicu-
Gus in the many attacks on Jews. The
letter cricised the governments pas
sive attitude, and pointed out that the
governments organs are guilty of
provoking the anti-Jewish agitations.
The issue of the Cracow Dziennik, in
which this letter was published, was
confiscated.
Isaac Heilblum, who was charged
with being one of the two men who
attempted to shoot Premier Paderew-
ski has been liberated after the accu-
sation against him was changed from
attempted assassination to making in
sulting remarks. At Bialystok, the au-
thorities have decreed that all no
tees including religious anbounce-
ments by the rabbis must be in Polish
which very few of the Jewish popu-
lation can read.
In Pinsk all the Jewish prisoners
have been set free. Six of them have
lost their reason as consequence Of
their suffering. The rabbi has refus-
ed to sign a statement which the mil
itary commandant has asked him to

and efforts of all kinds and in all
directions are being made to do some
thing effective, but it seems that all
is Of no avail. Complete reports of
the latest outrages in Wilma have been
received. The information is very re-
liable and is to the following effect:
About four hundred Polish legion
aires arrived in Wilma by train on
April 18th. From the 10th to the 21st
there were continuous street fights,
Ostensibly the fights were against the
Bolsheviki, in fact they were directed
against the Jews. Thirty-fve Jewish
hostages were taken, including state
Secretaries Rosenbaum's and Rachmil-
owitz's wives. All of them were taken
to Wilkomir and nothing is known or
can be ascertained as to what became
Of them, although every possible eff
fort has been made to that effect.
during the fight mobs of weaponed
Poles started terrible pogrom. The
Chevra Kadisah reports two ahousand
two hundred (22OO) victims lying on
the cemetery. Many of the victims
were attacked and ruthlessly MUIR
dered. All Of the Jewish synagogues,
houses, stores and cellars were plum
dered and robbed, the damages and
dered and robbed, the damages and
losses being immense. About ten
thousand 100000 Jews were then de-
ported to Ida, and it is not yet as
certained where they are and what
became of them.
The Chief Rabbi Rubinstein was ill
treated and arrested because he refus-
ed to confirm the statement which the
Poles gave out, that the pogrom was
organized by the Bolshevikis. Three
days after, when all the HORRORS and
outrages had been perpetrated and all
the damage done, General Pilsudsky
arrived. He made his brother comman-
der Of the town and order was re-es-
tablished. Rabbi Rubinstein was re-
leased and municipal council Of four
Poles and four Jewish merchants was
appointed to give semblance to Polish
sympathy.
The boycott still continues, tho
Poles refuse to sell food to the Jews
and there is terrible famine now
raging in the Jewish quarters. The
report closes with demand THAI every
possible effort should be made that
the entente powers should intervene
and prevent further pogroms, that
they should also demand the immedl-
ate release and return of the ten
thousand deported Jews and that the
Polish Government be required and
forced to nuke restitution of the rob-
bed property and pay the damages
sustained.
The Committee Of Jewish Delegates
to the Peace Conference Of which
Louis Marshall is now chairman, since
Judge Mack left Paris, has considered
this matter at meeting held today.
A committee consisting of Marshall,
Syrkin and Wincheswsky of the Unit
ed States, Goldstein and Neidich Of
Ukrainia, and Aleinikoff of Russia,
has been appointed to organize Jew
ish defense organization, and also
formally bring the report Of these
atrocities to the attention of the mem
bers Of the Peace Conference in charge
Of Polish affairs. The members Of the
committee are indignant beyond
words. and will vigorously nrosecute

!. A CITY OF DESPAIR !.

Russian delegates particularly are
very much worried about the future.
Things look dark and great horrors
may be expected any day from East
Europe. In fact all of the great and
foremost Jews of England and France
whom l have seen and talked to, but
whose names, at their request, l must
withhold for the present, have antici-
pations Of pogroms, in comparison
with which Kishnineff will have been
trivial. All of them seem to be we'll
informed and see the tide coming ana
yet are absolutely helpless. Some of
them have wrung their hands in des-
pair and almost with tears in theh
eyes deplored that there seems to be
no way of avoiding the coming disas-
ter.
Time and time again the attention
of the members of the Peace Com
mission has been called to the impend-
ing avalanche, to the threatened dis
aster, and to all the demonstrations
they have turned a deaf ear. One Of
the diplomats is reported to have said
that the Peace Conference has indeed
something more important to do than
to worry about the Jews. Another dl.
plomat is reported to have said tina,
this Jewish business is getting on his
nerve, all the time he seems to hear
nothing but about Jews and their in
terests.
The fact Of the matter is that Jew
ish matters and interests are getting
very scant attention at the Peace
Conference, although the committee
Of Jewish delegates is doing all it can
possibly do, under the circumstances.
The allies are so engrossed in their
own interests, seeking to gain all thu
advantages they possibly can get for
themselves that they simply do not
want to pay any attention to any 9TH
er matter. Diplomacy as at present
played, is the same old selfish game

self, and let the others do the wor-
rying themselves" No one in Paris

eral months, and who know all the
ways and means of getting every.
where and to everyone, are absolutely
unable to find a way to deal with this
pogrom question and to stop their con,
tinuous preparation.
Some talk of world wide protests.
The French Society Of les Droits DIES
Hommes-a non-Jewish organization
is arranging a monster mass meeting
in one Of the great halls in Paris to
protest against the outrages and po-
groms against the Jews. It is desired
that in all cities non-Jewish organiza-
tons hold such meetings and cable
their protests to the American Com
mission. Others talk about actually
arming the Jews and placing them in
a position to defend themselves with
force, and to organize defense forces
in all Jewish centers. In the great des-
pair every suggestion-the widest and
most impossible is given considera-
ton. From the only source which
could help-the Peace Conference,
none seems in sight, although super
human efforts are being made to
awaken the conscience Of the Confer
ence To the unusual and unprecedent-
ed conditions.

A FALSE ASSUMPTION

If America has part therein.
fcrvently declares Mr.. Taft. the
league of nations will he established
and peace through justice will have
become possible for all nations, great
and small" The continued repeti-
ton of that sore of argument by the
ex-President and other friends of the
league is nothing short Of diabolic.
It seeks to align for the league all per-
sons who prefer peace to war. and to
create the impression that those who
refuse to adhere to it wish to see the
world stepped in blood for all time.
Statements such as those are an in
suit to everyone who hears them--to
the intelligence Of the league support
ers. and to the humanity and decency
OF those who have tn, patriotism to
oppose it.
Neither Mr.. Taft. President Will
son. nor any of the other individuals
who are loudest in praise of the
league. dare point to a single critic
of the covenant and accuse him Of
entertaining preference for wal
over peace. Such an accusation would
be the grossest libel, and entitle the
libellee to substantial damages. Yet
the whole propaganda for the league
of nations is based specifically or in
ferentially on that very charge. All
those desirous Of peace are urged to
get behind the covenant as the means
for attaining their ends, and its op-
ponents are characterized as disciples
Of Mars, preferring rule by the sword
rather than government by justice
It is 4 pity there is not a means fur
nished in our legal code to put sum-
mary stop to such misleading tao
tics, but the country is becoming alive
to the deception that is being prac-
ticed upon It by men of former high
reputation. and they will soon be con-
sumed in the fire of popular opinion
that they hoped to mould to their own
will"

USELESS 10 BUILD ROADS
WITHOUT the PROPER CARE

Experience has shown that in
Colorado it is necessary to fight the
damage done by winds to graveled
roads more often than the damage
done by rain or water" says Prof. E.
b. House of the Colorado Aerieultur-
al College. True it is that there are
many places where the under drainage
of the road must be carefully con-
sidered, but in practically all Of the
state, the roads are exposed to the
winds, and there is more damage from
blowing out than there 10 from rut-
ting due to rains-
IF there is one mistake that our
road builders are making, it il that
they allow the road building cam
paign to crowd out the road-mainte-
nance campaign. Consequently in
few years the gravel surfaced road,
become quite rough, with many
"chuck holes" and waves to annoy
the parties riding over them. When
ever you pass over = road Of this
kind. and the auto jumps and bucks,
remember that it is the attempt Of
the road to convey to you this idea.
"Lack Of Maintenance" Every time
you go up, think "lack Of mainte-
Every time you come down
say 'lack of maintenance"
Maintenance costs money, and
some have argued, "Let us build
road that will not have to be main

fellow said. "There amt no such ami

REPUBLICAN BACKBONE

No Democrat in the Senate dared to
vote against the resolution demand
ing that the Senate Department fur
nish the Upper House Of Congress
with copy Of the Peace Treaty. At
ter Senators Lodge and Borah had
disclosed the fact that copies Of the
treaty are in the hands of private in
dividuals in this country and Eur
ope, no Democrat, however desirous
of standing by the President, had the
temerity to vote against insisting
that the Senate. as the coordinate
treaty making body, should be grant
ed an equal courtesy. It took Re-
publican majority to relieve the Demo-
Gratis from utter subserviency to the
