The Liberty Bell
How many know that the Liberty

years before the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. had around its crown the
quotation from scripture, PROCLAIM

all the inhabitants thereof"

in the hearts of its loyal cOuntrymen

England, my heart was once truly
thine.
Nv loved, my native land,
But give me now this own fair land
The land of Washington.

The Democratic state ConEen-
tion yesterday adopted the follow
ing platform:
We, the Democratic party of
Maryland, in State convention as
sembled, indorse the administra-
ton of President Wilson.
The seven years past under
Woodrow Wilson, in wealth of
achievement for better America.
a better world, and in the spirit of
honor, peace and enlightenment
of the universe, far exceed any
period in human history Presi-
dent Wilson has established new
international creed. a new moral
ity, has destroyed the old. the
cruel methods of diplomacy, and
likewise of conquest by arms of
the weak and the defenseless na-
tions. He has brought the nation
al greed and selfshness, centuries
old, of the European nations. but
not without struggle, to yield to
his teachings that the new way to
cure an age old trouble in inter-
national relations is not by arms
and mutual destruction, but by an
appeal to reason and by mutual
concession. He has freed more
people from the bondage of harsh
master nations than Lincoln
emancipated. and has aided in re-
storing to their own, Poland, AL
sace-LoTTaine and Palestine
Brilliant Record Claimed
In the domestic affairs of the
United States the record is
scarcely less brilliant.
All people of the United States
OF all parties and creeds. almost
without exception, did their full
duty in the world war, and all are
entitled to share in the glory of
the success of that unprecedented
enterprise Nevertheless. while in
no way rejecting upon the pa
responsibility for the conduct, and
hence for the success of the war,
was primarily the Presidents and
the Democratic party's. Under his
guidance, we. a peaceful nation,
in a few months became the first
naval power in the world, and
with incredible swiftness trained
and transported an army overseas
that turned the fortunes of war.
and carried our flag to the Rhine.
The record of achievements
during his management of the af
fairs of government is unsur-
passed in the history of any na-
ton.
BY the enactment of the Federal
Reserve Law, an adequate finan-
cial system was abolished and re-
placed by a system that has
proven invaluable during peace
and indispensable during war. 1t
prevented panics, Notwithstanding
our country passed through its
greatest financial crisis, and en-
abled us not only to finance our
selves but our Allies as well. The
Republican party bitterly fought
this great reform act and yet they
now ask that its administration be
placed under their control.
Lists OF achievements
Rural credits have been estab-
lished and productiyeness of the
country enlarged by the enact
ment of the Farm Loan law. A
traffic law was enacted so just in
its provisions that it has met with
more general approval than any
other in the history Of such legis-
lation, and the law providing for
a tariff legislation on a business
basis, promising in a large meas
ure to remove it from the field of
party politics.

Democratic administration have

President IndOrsed
This convention indorses the
efforts OF the President to per-
feet the League of Nations We
demand the immediate ratification
of the Treaty of Peace, without
nullifying reservations. We de-
plore the fact that for partisan
reasons twice the length of time
occupied in the negotiating the
treaty has been wasted by a Re-
publican Senate, with the result
that it has been unable either to
ratify or reject or amend the
treaty, so that the same could be
returned TO the President for fur
ther action.
We recommend the action of
Senator Smith in his SUPPORT OF
the Peace Treaty and the League
of Nations in the Senate. We in
dorse the official service of Sena-
tor Smith, of Congressman Lin
thicum, Coady and Benson, and
we earnestly commend them to
the electorate of the State for re-
election We believe that other
Congressional nominees-T. Alan
Goldsborough. Thomas s Klinger
and Frank w Mish-will render
faithful and notable service in
Congress, to replace Congressman
Andrews, Mudd and Zihlman, who
belong to a party now in full con-
troll of both the House of Repre-
sentatives and the Senate, and can

It is then that Adrienne lifts her hands to heaven and all the tragedy of Sex, all the futility of a loveless woman's life and all the poiE- nancy of the severance Of the marriage relation are expressed in the heart-brck- en query: 'oh Godl Why did this have to happen to me?'
