WOMEN ELIGIBLE As ELECTION
OFFICIALS

Women are eligible for appointment
as election and registration officials
under the newly passed election law
amendments. Chairman Max Ways,
of the Board of Supervisors of Elec-
tons for Baltimore, made this an
nouncement recently. But the women
are going to be introduced to be prac-
teal workings of party politics before
they get their jobs Of dropping ballots
Of other people into the boxes. The
new law is all right and the Board of
Supervisors are all right SO Tar as Civ
ing the women their Jobs IS concerned,
provided the regular and song-estab-
lished routine in naming both Repub
lican and Democratic election officials
is carried out.
Under the present system in Mary
land, appointments Of Republican cleo
ton and registration officials is made
from a list submitted to the Super
visors BY party leaders in the dis
trict, ward or precinct in which they
are to serve. The same procedure is
followed in appointing Democratic
officials.
The women who get jobs in the poll
ing places will first have to be in
dorsed by their party machinery. If
they do not get appointments Il will
be because they cannot get indorse-
ments from the precinct or district
leaders Of the party with which they
are affiliated. This is still another in
ccntive to urge for the abandonment
.of any plan the women may have had
to not affiliate with either party.
The ruling in favor of their eligible
ity is based upon Section Ia of the
act passed at the extra session OF the
Legislature last week This provides
that, wherever in this article words
or phrases are used denoting the mas
euline gender they shall be taken to
include the feminine gender

and commander-in-chief Of armed

not forgotten thai he called Theodore
Roosevelt an Aaron Burr, Benedict

name to which he could lay his ever

that he termed Hiram Johnson a
blackguard, fakir, and "a man who
wallows in the gutter Of American pol

human kind, lay I'll at the White House
and Harding and others oftthe SEN

attempted to remove the president
from office.
Now as candidate Ior president, he
sould put himself on pedestal and
say tYou must not call attention to
my record. You must not Question me
as to where 1 stand. You must not ask
how much money has been gathered
to elect me. You must not question me
as to who will be the president in fact
If / am elected. You must not ask me

If willy Warren hopes to get away
with such pose he is doomed to dis
appointment. He is opposed by Great
American who has helped to bring a
new day into American politics and
public life. lie is opposed by the great
governor Of Ohio who believes that
the American people are entitled to
know where a man stands on great
public questions before they cast their
votes. Unless Harding comes forth
from the house Of cards they have
built for him on the front porch, the
house Of cards WILSON be down upon
him.

What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM or FLYINe2

ITO DREAM that one is flying is
1 a rather common experience and
is one of the typical sor Standard
dreams of the scientists as it mani
tests itself in practically the same
manner to everybody According to
Professor sStrumpell of Leipzig, one Of
the "hlghbrow'' dream investigators,
this dream sensation of flying is the
result of the dream-mirFd translate
ing the sensation caused by the rising
and falling of the lungs of the dream
er after the skin sensations of the
chest have been reduced to insensi--
bility by sleep. This theory, however,8
is rejected by other scientists for
what seem very good reasons-too
long to reeite here. Doctor Ferden of
Vienna and some others interpret the
flying dream as erotfc dream symbol
ism. while Professor Freund declares
that in spite of the STANDARDIZATION of
the dream under consideration, it re-
quires special interpretations in some
persons and in all cases arises iEi
the dream-mind or psychic.
The mystics interpret the dream as
a favorable omen According to them
it is a representation that the dream
er will arrive at a considerable. per-
haps a great, fortune, and will be pro-
NOTED to some high Office of state.
Also it is a sign that you will be happy
as well as fortunate. II you are I'M
married and in love, you win marry
the one of your choice and will live
happily. If you are not in love now
you viii be soon and a marriage viii
result. More than that, you viii have
many children who win be successful
in life.
For anyone who dreams Of flying
there is journey in store, which
journey VIII result to his great advan-
tage. The "highbrows, of course,
deny that there is any prophetic
meaning in the dream. SO there you
are-the "highbrows" and the '1ow-
brows''-take your choice

WILL NOT BE FOR
HARDING

Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation OF Labor, in an
address delivered recently at Driving
Park, Columbus. Ohio, denounced as
traitors to the republic the men who
are endeayoring to bar the entry Of
the United States into the League Of
Nations
4 hold" said Mr.. cOmDers, that
the men and the group Of men who
stand in the way Of the advancement
of the peace program as at present out
lined are traitors to the republic Of
the United States. We want peace. We
want industrial peace. international
peace, not by being armed to the teeth
all over the world but by the interna-
.tional agreement under the League Of
Nations, the best covenant ever done
in the history of the civilized world. 2
"Thia covenant, this league. this
treaty" he continued, is the first
serious effort made by the peoples and
the governments Of the world to arrive
at peace without arming to the teeth
It proposes to reduce the standing
army, the naval construction and the
manufacture of arms and munitions.
1t proposes to do things that work
for the arts Of peace and progress
rather than war
Mr.. Gompers speaks none too strong
ly. He expresses, we believe, the senti-
ment Of a vast majority of the thought
full people of Maryland. How prepos-
ferrous then the claim of some of the
Baltimore Republican political mana
gers that Maryland this year is Repub-
lican and will give its vote to Mr..
Harding, who said he would oppose
the League Of Nations.

WHAT T0UNG T.R SAYS AB0UT
HARDING AND WHAT HARDING
SAID ABOUT +. RS FATHER

This is what Theodore Roosevelt,
Jr.. said about Warren G. Harding,
Republican nominee for president, in
his speech at Memorial Hall wednes-
day night, September g.
Senator Harding stands for com
mon honesty, common deceney and
common sense"
He recommends steering middle
course on international questions"
He favors strong nationalism and
Americanism as against the weak in
ternationalism advocated .by the pres
ent administration.
Harding viii form an efficient cab
met
And this is what Harding published
about Roosevelt's father in the Mar
ion Star Of Sept %, 1912:
We are opposed to t. r. because
we believe him to be unsuited in char
aeter and temperament to be chief
executive; because he is unsafe and
dangerous leader, because he is law
less, ifsineere, selfish and unscrupu-
lous, because his first administration
was unsuccessful in maintaining the
prosperity he inherited, because he is
a bully by nature and a lover of war
and is therefore not to be trusted with
control of the army and navy and our
relations with our neighbors."

DEATHS.
Smith


Edmund r Smith, one Of our most
widely known and respected citizens,
died suddenly on Friday afternoon OF
heart failure in the office of DR.. C. E.
Roop, where he had gone for medical
assistance. Mr. Smith had been a sur
ferer for years with the malady, and
had been failing noticeabiy for some
time, but drove to town in the after
noon apparently in his usual health.
He stopped at the Fire Insurance Of
flee, and on leaving the Office said he
would be back in the evening to attend
a meeting of the company, and no
doubt feeling unweIl went to the Of
flee of his physician and died. He was
a lifelong faithful member of St. Jo-
seph's Catholic Church, from which
the funeral was held on Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock Interment in the adj
joining cemetery. He was also direc-
tor of the Taneytown Savings Bank,
President and director of the fancy
town Mutual Fire Insurance Co., also
member of Brute Council K. of P. of
Emmitsburg; member of st. Aloysi-
us Beneficial Society, of Littlestown;
was the first president of the
Holy Name Society of st. Joseph's
Church, and was reelected to the
same office. A Requiem High Mass was
celebrated by his pastor, Rev. Father
Quinn, and five visiting priests occu-
pied the Sanctuary During the fu-
neral eu1ogy. He was in his 65th year,
and is survived by his second wife,
who was a Miss Yingling, of Liberty
town, and the following children by
this marriage: Misses Julia r., student
nurse at Maryland University Hospit-
al, Baltimore: Rose, Edith and Mar
garet, and one son, Lawrence, ali at
home, and the following children by a
former marriage, Charles, OF WASH
ington; Joseph, Of Taneytown Mrs.
Thomas l.. Shoemaker, of Lemoyne,
Pa; Mrs. Albert Reuwer, of Harris
burg; also one brother, William Smith
of LittIestown. In early life Mr.. Smith
was a school teacher, teaching in Car
roll and frederick counties, later a
farmer, but several years ago he pur-
chased a smaller property along the
Union Bridge road adjoining town,
where he resided at the time of his
death He was kind neighbor, always
ready and willing to help those in
need. The family have the sympathy

all due to a steel range which was
not content with trying to cook what
it carried inside.
The electric stove does not have to
be fed kindling in the form Of cobs,
but is operated by a simple button,
which turns on the heat and the me-
ter at one and the same time. This
meter is very fast on it's feet. and it
is a painful sight for a frugal husband
to watch it turn over and deyour
watts and kilowatts in a reckless and
prodigal manner. It does not cost any
more to cook a thick beefsteak on an
electric stove than it does to buy the
steak in the first place, and after the
oven has become thoroughly heated
1t win remain in that condition so long
as nobody wants to use the heat.
If some way could be devised to
turn back the surplus heat generated
by an electric stove into the meter, and
get credit at the end of the month,
more people would use it without a
sense of dark, chilly foreboding.

PROGREss1yEs AND cox.


The former progressives who have
declared for Governor Cox are for
the most part men who supported
President Wilson for recollection in
1916. Harold Ickes, Of Illinois, is the
most conspicuous exception. He was
for Mr.. Hughes four years ago. Yet
the showing of bull moose for Cox is
by no means negligible. There were no
followers of Mr.. Roosevelt in 1912
more sincere and jealous than Mr..
Iekes, cambridge Colby, of New York;
Matthew Hale, of massachusetts;
John NJ Parker, of Louisiana; Judge
Ben Lindsay. of Colorado; Francis J..
Heney, of California; and George Rub
lee, of New Hampshire. The fact that
they are all with the Democrats as
against Harding this year indicates
the choice that true progressives must
make as between the Democratic and
Republican candidates.
Mr.. Harding virtually admits that
he stands for reaction. Everyone
should admire his candor. He could
not be a progressive if he tried. He
has told how 10 years ago that arch
reactionary, Senator Foraker, fasci-
mated him. He hated and fought the
much liberalized State Constitution
adopted by Ohio of 1912-1918, of which
Governor Cox was a strong supporter.
Mr.. Taft is now rather pleased with
Mr. Hardihg's record in that particu-
lar. for in one of his articles recently
he referred to Cox and Herbert Bige-
low as enthusiastically promoting in
unison the progressively radical doc
trines which were fashionable in
those days. Those were the doctrines
in general which were also espoused
by the Progressive party.
Mr.. Harding's election could not pos
sibly promote progressive causes. He
would have to deal with two antagon-
dstic wings of his own party the re-
dictionary wing of Penrose and Lodge
and the other wing Of Johnson and La
Toilette. Mr.. Taft was elected in 1908,
to carry out the progressive policies
of Mr.. Roosevelt and at that time Mr..
Taft was regarded as much more of a
progressive than Mr.. Harding has
been at any time in his career. How
Mr. Taft drifted into association with
the Republican conservatives need not
be rehearsed. But does anyone presume
to say that Mr. Harding in 1920 offers
so much of hope to progressive Amer
leans as Mr.. Taft offered II years ago2

should come into collision with the

HARDING OWNS BREWERY STOCK

And now Mr.. Harding must do more
explaining. 1t is specifically charged
that for twenty. years the Marion
candidate has been a stockholder in a
brewery in Marion, Ohio. We pre-
sumo that he had right to hold this
stock, but the hypocrisy OF posing as
a dry candidate and encouraging dry
forces to support him, comes out in
conspicuous coloring in the light Of

ZEN REASONS WHY AN Ex.SER

There are no ten reasons nor IN

Democratic partisan. cannot refrain
from uttering my sentiments on this
joint before proceeding. Uncompro-

with your pardon. give you the ten
reasons why an eA-servfce man should
support the Democratic Candidates:
!, Because they have constantly
talked the broadcast principles Of pro-
gressive development, conforming to
the spirit Of the century for indepen
dent political judgement
2: Because its candidates have new
er said and never believed that senti-
ment recently uttered by Senator
Harding WIN he said TOO much is
heard Of independence in politics.
3. Because in this year the Demo
cratic party represents the honor Of
the country, because it believes in
keeping faith with the living and faith
with the dead, faith with our Allies
and faith with our foes.
4. because the Democratic party
stands for League Of Nations, the
existing League, to end war, to com
pose differences by adjustment Of
wrongs through the processes Of world
opinion.
5. Because it would have America
assume its rightful place at the head
Of the nations OF the world, unafraid
TO take its place as leader.
s Because only through the League
Of Nations can order be brought to the
world and because the failure of the
League win cause us to. revert to in
ternatiOnal anarchy, high competitive
ornaments, which are the inevitable
breeders Of war.
7. Because the Democratic candi-
