Road Work May Be Halted.

Discouraged over the prospect OF
having the Interstate Commerce Com
mission order shipments Of road
building and maintenance materials
when the embargo is lifted, John N.
Mackall. chairman of the State Road
Commission, declared after reaching
home from Washington that he is
afraid road building operations in the
State this year would be very much
limited.
Mr.. Mackall attended the hearing,
hoping to appeal for priority rights
in the delivery Of maintenance ma
'erial, and at least limited delivery
in road materials, once the railroad
embargo is lifted. Mr.. Mackall said
there were so many persons inter
ested in priorities and that the coal
situation loomed so alarmingly, that
he was unable to reach the commits
sion with Maryland's predlcament
In the meantime practically all
work is held up. The few jobs being
operated are on a so per cent. basis.
He has no oil for the roads. They
need oiling badly, not having had a
coat for two years.

tions. though the dry issue is by no

Charles X. Woods. Maryland State
chairman Of the Prohibition party,
has received a notice of the conVen-
tion to be held in the home town OF
William Jennings Bryan. He re.
ceived the notice from Virgil Hen
shaw, national chairman. but has not
received word of any Marylander
ready and willing to make the jour
ney to Nebraska.
1t will be decided at this conven.
tion whether to disband the party or
make a run in the present Pres;den-
tial campaign. Efforts will perhaps
be made to get Bryan to head the
ticket. but there is small hope of his
consenting to leave the Democratic

state and City Unite for Memorial.


State and City Unite for Memorial.
The subcommittees Of the State
and City Memorial Commissions.
which held a Joint meeting in Union
Trust Building. decided they would
pool their resources and energies to-
ward the erection Of a suitable me-
mortal to Maryland's heroes who lost
their lives in the war and would
place the memorial In Baltimore City.
This action was taken without fric.
tion between the two committees,
which agreed that inasmuch as Balti-
more included the majority OF the
population OF the State. and was 10.
Gated ideally, there could be no OBJ
1ections voiced by anyone. The reso-
luton which calls for the site being
located in Baltimore was introduced
by Dr.. Hugh II. Young. a member OF
both committees. and was seconded
by Emory L. Coblenz, of Frederick.
member of the State Committee
As soon as the members we're as
sembled in the office of State Comp.
troller E. Brooke Lee. chairman Of
the State Committee. the latter made
motion that Col Sherlock Swami.
chairman OF the city committee. be
made chairman. to preside. which
was carried unanimously.
The city members agreed that
II would be more advisable that the
two committees cooperate and pool
their funds and efforts toward a spe-
eific goal.
1t eventually may be public build
ing on the Civic Center opposite City
Hall, as former Mayor Preston sug-
gestsd in a letter. 1t would have a
handsome and artistic exterior and
an interior suitable for public meet
ings and similar purposes. 1t may
be an ornamental arch. II may be a
shaft It may be some idea not yet
mentioned
There were informal discussions Of
two or three ideas that had been ad-
vanced. One. which seemed to be re.
ceived favorably. was that of utili-
ties building; one with an artistic ex.
terror and perhaps a music hall that
would be suitable for meetings: bed
rooms for ex-service men; athletic
features in the basement, including
a swimming pool, and hospital and
dispensary This is one of the ideas
said to have the approval Of ex-serv-
ice men.
However this is only one of the
suggestions. and it may be discarded
if it is found that the funds are not
sufficient.
One of the first things to be ascer-
tanned, it was decided, is just how
much money will be available. The
State has the prospect of a fund Of
100000 authorized by bond issue.
The city committee was unable to
state definitely just how much it
could furnish or what power it had
to go ahead with the work.
Colonel Swami was designated to
make a study Of this phase Of the
situation and report both on the
funds available and the status of the
civic center as a possible site.

and increased support for their main
tenanhe was made by President E. A.
Birge Of the University of Wisconsin
in his baccalaureate sermon before the
graduating class of 1920. The demands
upon the state universities have been
greatly increased as a result of the
war, President Birge pointed out, and
a great increase of attendance is tv be
expected in the next few years. The
higher cost of operation was also a
factor to be taken into consideration,
he declared President Birge also ap-
pealed to the alumni of the university
to bear in mind the benefits they had
derived from their college in their re-
lations to the school in later life, and
asserted that graduates were becoming
more and more to look upon the uni
versity as a source Of profit to the
state and themselves.

DRIVE TO GET FARM HELP
Security League, in Cooperation With
Department of Agriculture, In
auqurates Nationwide Cam
paiqn to Secure Labor.

Milwaukee, June 22.-With the OBJ
Ject of putting a kick" into Ameri-
cas- opposition to the high cost of liv-
ing, officials of the National Security
league, in cooperation with the United
States department of agriculture, have
lnaugurated a nationwide campaign to
start a flow of labor to the farms. x.
l.. Hatch of the University of Wiscon-
sin agricultural college is named as
representative of the movement in
Wisconsin. In addition to shortage
OF 70 per cent in labor required on
Wisconsin farms, the league appeals
for $4,000 men at once to assist in the
wheat harvest of the Western states.
Every labor union, every board of
trade, eevry big corporation and civic
organization in the country owes it as
a paramount duty to take up this
movement and assist in sending men
to the farms while they are needed,
declares Charles D. Orth, president of
the National Security league. "The
high cost of living will be higher than
ever next winter unless more labor
gets to the farms at once"

THE CONTEST OF 1920

In it's issue for November 26, 1918
The Democrat said:
At the recent election, for the first
time since 1908, the Republicans
carried the country. They have Sc
cured a fair sized majority in the
House of Repres entatives and bare
majority in the Senate. Whether
this result will prove an advantage
or a disadvantage to their party is
not clear at this time. 1t was very
thoughtful man who defined states
man as politician who is dead. For
the last ten years the republican
party has been in the attitude OF
departed statesman rather than that
of a living politician; and a good
deal of the evil it did has been in
tered with the dead past. Its
friends have ever harked back to it's
best leaders rather than to it's time
serving politicians who did evil IN
the sight of God and man.
"But with the organization of the
sixty-sixth congress there will be a
resurrection which will bring into
the lime light Republican leaders
who are alive and in the flesh. Boise
Penrose is already looming large as
the next chairman of the Senate com
mittee on finance If President Will
son is spared to round out his term
of office, so full Of great events, his
statemanship will be coped with the
craftsmanship Of a Republican ma
jority in the congress, and thus will
be Joined the issue Of the presiden-
tial election Of 1920. The respon-
sible leadership of the President is
well known and we'll liked the world
over, except in Potsdam. But what
the leadership of the congress elect
will be, the future alone can tell.
A good many important things
political have been brought to light
since the above short article was pub
lished; and on the whole they have
strengthened the position of the ma
tionaI administration.
The Republicans have adopted
their platform and nominated their
ticket; but they are at the start
fighting only a defensive campaign.
1t is the duty of the Democrats to
speak boldly for good things in gov
ernment and to nominate candidates
who Will stand for the right because
it is right.

THE MAN FOR PRESIDENT

David Lawrence, reliable neWSpa
per correspondent, writing from Min

"The northwest isn't expecting
ultraconservatism from the Demo-
cratic party this year. 1t is eXpec-
ting a liberal, almost Socialistic plat
form from the Democrats and there
would be surprise indeed if Nc Adoo
isn't in the nominee"
Mr. Nc Adoo, is practical, force
full statesman, with the proper vision
to be president of the United States.
Of his many great acts Of devotion
to the public welfare one service "a

the greatest need of this nation in
times of peace, and of war, was ships

establishment of a naval auxiliary
this end, which he delivered at In
dianapolis, Seattle, Madison, and
other points, marked him at that
time as a true statesman. Now, in
light of subsequent events, it reads
prophetic. The writer heard Mr.. Nc
Adoo deliver this speech at Madison,
and he heard the late President Van
Hise in introduction give him the
strongest kind of an endorsement.
1t was the endorsement of one great
worker in the worlds work given to
a fellow worker whom he knew and
admired.
In the face of hoary and liber-
ally financed propaganda for ships
subsidies, rather than government
owned and controlled ships, it was
hard to get congress to act. But IA
vorable action was finally secured,
and the result was long need ships.
Every hour of delay cost the ma

precious lives.
The Stars and Stripes now upon
