State Bonus Bill Passes House.

BY a vote of 70 to 6 the House
Monday night finally passed the Sol
diers and Sailors bill and sent it to
the Senate. Negative votes were
Messrs. Burke, of Baltimore county;
Benson and Squier, of Cecil county;
Dudderer. of Frederick county; Gro
bett, of Washington county, and
Austin, of Wicomico county.
Mr.. Burke, whose name was reach
ed early in the roll call, said he knew
he was doing an unpopular thing
and he wished the bill were one. to
provide for those who were injured
in the war, instead of being one &c
pay men simply because they did
serve and do their duty. He had to
feel ashamed of himself. yet he
could not vote for the measure. Nc
other member voting against the bill
said anything in explanation.
Final passage Of the bill will in
crease the State tax rate 3-1C
cents after the first two years and
continue IL years. The provisions
require payment to every soldier
sailor or nurse of $40 for every
month in actual service. whether al
home or in Europe. An inheritance
tax is to be imposed to make up the
payment of interest and principal on
the bonds to be issued.

MISREPRESENTATION.

The House of Representatives has
passed the Army Reorganization
Bill and thus added enormously to
the tax burdens of our people. The
Bill calls for regular army of some
$4,000 men and about $4,000
officers. OF course. there is little
likelihood of anything like $4,000
men being secured; but anybody can
safely bet on the $4,000 officers, to
loaf around Washington and An
napdlis eating up hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars of the peoples money
and adding enormously Ito the high
cost of living.
We do not hesitate to express our
bitter opposition to any, such pro-
gram and when Congressman An
drews, of our own Congressional Dis
trict, voted for this Army Bill, we
believe he was not representing the
feelings and desires of his constitu-
ents. 1t is just this sort of thing
that is getting our people rabid
against their National (miss) repre-
sentatives. Cecil Wing.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

You are often told to beware OF
a cold" but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs. lowers
the vitality and paves the way for
the more serious diseases. People
who contract pneumonia first take
cold. The longer cold hangs on,
the greater the danger, especially
from the germ diseases, as a cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the germs of
consumption, diphtheria, scariet
fever and whooping cough. The
quicker you get rid of your cold; the
less danger of contracting one of
these diseases. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has great reputation as a
cure for colds and can be depended
npon. 1t is pleasant to take.

With a jam Of bills the Maryland
Legislature is in whirl in these
closing days of its inglorious session.
This is a time when all sorts OF
snakes creep through, tackled on as
amendments to bills, and escaping
notice in the hurry and press OF
work during the last days of the
session, which closes this year on
Monday, April 5.
The present Maryland Legislature
has net made record of which
either our State or its represent
atives can feel proud, as little that
is really worth while has been eon7
sidered, or enacted into law.
Most of the time has been devoted
to wrangling over various race
track bills, and ridiculous and i'm
possible wet measures, Governor
Richie and the Baltimore ring leav-
ing nothing undone to do something
for the poor, starving brewers, this
element apparently having the call
at Annapolis during the entire ses-
sion.
Racetrack legislation has occupied
the center Of the stage in the Senate
this week, the wrangle being over
the Burke bill passed by the House
and the Nnttle bill favored by the
Senate.
The Senate will also deal with the
3.5 per cent beer bill, which passed
the House.
The Budget is to be finally dis
posed of, and the workingmen's COM
pensation bill.
The Governors appointments are
also being awaited anxiously by the
expectant ones.

Hand Shaking.

The practice of clasping or Joining
right hands as a pledge of sincerity
or as seal of a promise is of very
early origin. The apostle Paul, in his
epistle to the Galatians. says: "And
when James, Cephas and John, who
seemed to be pillars, perceived the
grace that was given unto me, they
gave TO me and to Barnabas the right
hands of fellowship; that We should
go unto the heathen." In this case.
evidently, friendly agreement was
sealed by giving the right hands of
fellowship. From this the custom of
giving the right hand of fellowship
upon suitable occasions spread
throughout Christendom and Joining
right hands became part Of the
Christian marriage ceremony. The
custom of hand shaking certainly ex-
listed before Shakespeare's day. for he
refers to It many times as kind of
pledge or social greeting. 1t is not
confined to English-speaking nations.

RAIL BOARD DIVIDED
ON WAGE QUESTION

Chicago, June 24.--A we'll confirmed
report in circulation in labor circles to-
day said the railway labor board was
divided three ways on the wage con-
troyersy. the labor group holding out
for an award which both the company
and public representatives thought ex-
orbitant, and the company group refus-
ing to concede an award that the pub
lie group held reasonable. No message
from President Wilson asking for an
immediate decision on the wage ques-
ton had been received when the board
resumed deliberations today. While
conceding that each crop holds its own
ideas and that there is naturally wide
divergence of opinion, George w. Han
ger of the board, declared today that
there was nothing in the present situa-
tion to warrant the assumption that the
board faced a deadlock. There wns
every indication, he said, that a satis-
factory agreement would be reached
within a reasonable length of time,
Union lenders here. however. were not
so optimistic. They declared they be-
lieved the board would be wrecked on
the same deadlock that ended President
Wilson's attempt to settle the railroad
problem last winter through another
tripartite organization.
