War Looms, !.

BALTIMORE. Md. April I1.LJust
when there seemed to be a chance
for harmony between the Jockey
Club and the Maryland Racing
Commission. q real war is imminent
between the two bodies over the
Bedwell agency for J. K. L. Ross.
The Maryland Jockey Club today
refused to accept the stake entries
for the Ross horses when they were
presented by Bedwell, on the ground
that he was not an authorized
agent, under the, ruling Of the
Jockey Club, ...- ~.
Only recently the Maryland. Rae
ing Commission granted Bedwell
recognition as agent for the stable
SO, that he stands as agent in Mary
land, but not In NewAYork 80
II is not known just what. action
the Maryland commission will take
In the matter but 1t is not natural
that they should not endeayor, to en-
force their ruling that Bedwell is a
regularly accredited agent. The
stakes closed at midnight tonight
and IL will be impossible after that
time to enter any of the Ross horses
In the various stakes that will be
offered at Pimlico. OF these. the
most important is the $4,000 Freak
ness.
The Maryland Racing Commission
has accepted the licenses for train
ers and jockeys from the Jockey
Club but there was no mention Of
it accepting the authorization of
agents.
1t is within the power Of the COM
mission to cancel the license of the
Maryland Jockey Club for its meet
ing as was threatened when the
controversy arose over the Jockey
Shilling case last fall.
BALTIMORE, Md, April II. =
Former Judge Allan McLane today
called on Gov. Richie and declined
the appointment as member OF
the State Racing Commission which
was rendered him on Saturday last.
The former judge spent some lit
tie time in conversation with the
governor about the position which
had been rendered him and SINH
lar matters, but 4 Is reported that
tn licensing question which pre-
cipitated the division in the COM
mission which preceded the resigna-
tion OF Commissioner Joseph p.
Kennedy, was not mentioned, there
for McLane's views on the subject
were not revealed.
The governor expressed himself

to find a suitable man who would
accept. r. Bennett Dsrnoll. of Bal
timore County. is mentioned for the
place and may get 1t. He is a law

Some of those interested think
the governor may turn to former
Judge N. Charles Burke, of Balti-
more County. who resigned from
the bench last year, as did McLape.
Burke Is the father OF. Edward H..
Burke, who introduced in the last
legislature the racing commission

BIG CITIES AND
LITTLE TOWNS.

Are you still pining to live in big
city, where the bright lights glare
and revelry reigns supreme? You
might try it out anG send us your ex-
periences for publication.
A year ago young married man
purchased home in the outskirts of
Chicago for $500 on, the time pay
ment plan, the monthly payments
being rather heavy.
Then bushes Stacked up, his income
decreased, and he found it impossible
to meet his payments.
He has just sold out a loss and is
renting four room flat for which he
is required to pay $75 month.
There are said to be $4,000 faml-
lies in Chicago who are doubling up
with other families because there are
no houses or flats for them to occupy.
And the experience of Chicago is
much like that Of any other large city
in the country.
There may not be as much glitter
and glamour in Oxford as there is
to be found in a large city, but there
is a deal of satisfaction in knowing
that a persons soul is his own and
that he does not have to be gouged
front and back every time he turns
around.
There are worse places than the
old home town.

FRUITS AND FREIGHTS.

When we buy fruits in the open
market we sometimes wonder II tne
dealer is really making the tremend-
Gus profits with which ne is credited.
The fact has been made public that
it is cheaper to ship fruits from AZ,
RIGA than it is to send them by rail
from California to New York.
n is said that a bale of goods can
he Skinned by water from New York
to Sonth America for less than it
costs to transport it from one side OF
tbe citv of New York to the other.
What's the matter with our rail
road system, anyway!
The eyorbitant freight rates IN this
country are burden to the people
and there appears to be no reilef III
sight. ,,.
With all our Wanted intelligence
wa do not seem to have brains
enough to evolve a system OF dlstrl,
hutton that would do credit to a FlJl
Islander. :.
Some day, perhaps, stockholders II,
our railroads will realize that lot OF
useless aofficials" are being carried
on the payrolls at high salaries. They
NAV even come to the conclusion
that the services of half the number
MIGHT be readily dispensed with, and
that reduction of about so per cent
in the salaries of the remaining
ab;pher ups" would be more in keep
ing with the cash value OF their
services.

GETTING BACK
To NORMAL.

Nearly everybody is having some
thing to say about what ught to be
done to bring this count"y back TO
normal. 1t is invariably the case, how
ever, that such remarks apply only to
the other fellow.
Many people are of the opinion that
prices should return to the pre-war
level, but it is doubtful if they ever
will. Certainly it can never be done
without literal invoking of the law
of supply and demand, and that is
something the spectators will frus-
trate at all hazards.
The manufacturer, having gorged
himself on huge profits, will never
again be satisfied with modest ones.
He will eventually come down con
siderably, few pennies at time, but
it will be herculean task to~moVe
hil:7 at al.
The labor unions are putting up a
tremendous fight against any material
reduction in wages, although 1t Is
generally conceded that as long as the
price of labor remains up there can
be no great reduction elsewhere.
The stakeholder wants big dividends
in order to meet high living costs;
The same applies to the merchant and
his profits, and to the doctor and rne
lawyer and the undertaken and their
fees.
In every line you meet the same
conditions. Nobody feels that he can
afford to reduce his own prices until
there has been corresponding re-
duction in the articles he is forced to
buy.
VINO. then, is to make the start?
The farmer has done it. HIS pro-
fits have been about wiped out by a
falling market on farm products, be
cause he is compelled to continue pay
ing high prices for everything that he
uses.
The great trouble is, the rest of the
country is not following the farmer
in the downward trend. If it were to
do so. we would be back to something
approaching normal in hurry,
Congress apparently is unable to
solve the problem, and if congress Is
impotent we of this community can
not be expected to waste our time IN
heating against an impossible bar
rirer
There is, however, one thing that
we can do. That is to go to work
and stay at work and do more WORK
and less talking.
We can regulate our own actlons'
and if those actions are along the
lines of increased activity and produc-
tivity we will be doing our share to-
ward bringing the country back TO
noraml-whatever normal may be.

MILLIONS AND
MORALITY.

Almost as regularly as clock

Some millionaire is suing his wife foi

Generally there follows mass OF
moral faith that is amazing and al
most beyond belief. Like dirty linen
it all comes out in the wash, but un-
like the linen, the principals can hard
lv'lay claims to purity as result OF
their legal bath.
This is a queer world.
AS long as we are poor we are able
to live comparatively decent lives
But let great wealth come our way
and we Immediately begin to yearn
for the vices and frivolities it will
buy. L.
II would be far better for the hu-
man race if we were to forego ma

In the midst of a world of turmoil

people and there is much for which
we should be thankful.
We have land that is fertile in the
essence of life.
We have freedom and liberty, and
the unrestricted pursuit of happi-

We are rich in the material things
of life, and enjoy the right to wor-
ship as our conscience dictates.
We are enjoying wonderful and
continued prosperity while the old
world totters on the brink of ruin.
We are comparatively alone, but
thrice blessed is our isolation.
