JOB TO REWARD.
YEARS OF DUTY
House Drops Party Line to
Vote $500 Position for
Uncle Jimmy" Clark.

One hundred and eighteen men,
bers OF the House yesterday created
the position of special messenger to
the House minority for .'CncIe
Jimmy" Clark at $500 a year.
Uncle Jimmy" was thrown out of
employment when the Republicans
came into power last April.
For years this affable old man
has been doorkeeper of the men,
bers' families. gallery. In that time
he has won the hearts of the wives
OF scores OF Representatives by his
courtesy and faithfulness.
A number of Republicans fought
the resolution to create this posi-
tion, which was introduced by Rep
resentative William A. Rodenberg,
OF Illinois, vehemently because II
was a minority measure. The ma
jority of the Republicans, however.
declared they didn't know what Mr..
Clark's politics were and thought
he deserved the place.
The resolution passed, 1lS to %,
and the amendment was defeated
which would have cut the salary
down to sl.1S0, the amount he was
receiving years ago.

BOOKS TO COMBAT
STATE OF UNREST

Books may be used to combat the
wave of unrest, If they are proper
ly used to convey to our foreign
born population the spirit of Ameri-
can ideals and traditions. according
to the consensus of opinion OF the
American Library Association.
which has organized 4 Books for
Everybody" campaign. by which IL
hopes to throw a healing light upon
the industrial and economic prob
lens now stirring the country.
1t is pointed out by this associa-
tion that there are 100000 foreign
born within our confines who de-
pend for the most part upon the
foreign language press. 1t is the
aim OF the American Library Asso-
citation to provide these persons with
such books as will help them to get
the American viewpoint. and to this
end. if the proper books are found
not to exist in sufficient numbers. it
will seek to bring the publisher and
translator together in order that the
needs Of the situation may be met.
Its announcement on the subject
says:
The extension Of the county Ii
brary system. which assures a fieXi-
BILE circulation to every section of
the county adopting it. is another
phase Of the enlarged program
which the American Library hsso-
citation advocates. The need of more
books in uniform type for the $4,000
blind people in the United States is
still another problem with which the
enlarged program deals"

'SUFFS' BEATEN
In MARYLAND
ASSEMBLY
Legislature Fails to Ratify
10th" Amendment by
Large Majority.

Annapolis, Nd. Feb. 1S.-Three
hours after the suffragists had made
their greatest demonstration at the
State House for ratification of the
Anthony amendment, II was rejected
by both the House of Delegates and
the Senate. The vote was decisive.
as follows:
senate-Eighteen against and nine
for ratification.
House-Sixty-four against ani
thirty-six for ratification.
Mrs. Donald Hooker. leader OF the
suffrage forces said after the an
nouncement OF the votes that thew
would not present any measure dur
ing the present Legislative session
to give them Statewide voting priv
ilege. She added her conviction that
thirty-siX States, the number re-
quired to make the Nineteenth"
amendment effective. will have rati-
fled il within a few months.
The day was a noisy and event
full one in the State House, which
was crowded with suffragists and
antisuffragists. The "Suffs" brought
brass band from Baltimore and
played popular airs in the State
House corridors before the Senate
and House met
The "suffs" began the day by call
ing on Governor Ritchie and criti-
cizing his stand on the amendment.
Tine governor was unmoved, and de-
clared his party had in it's platform
plank opposing woman suffrage.
The next move was in the house,
where shortly Sfter noon the rati-
hcation resolution came up as
special order. 1t was pushed to final
action after q long debate and de-
feated.
The defeat of ratification of the
Anthony amendment by the legis-
lature came as a distinct blow TO
Mary land suffragists. They had
confidently counted on MARYLAND
getting in line for woman suffrage.
Lobbyists all during the session
have been buttonholing members
and asking them the question: Are
you going 10 risk your office by
voting against the suffrage amend
ment?" and other such veiled
threats.
That's what they told US about
the prohibition amendment. and We
fell for it," has been the invariqbls
answer. Some of US who were
here last time are in the political
ash heap now" The vote today
was the final answer.
