EX.yICE-PRESIDENT MARsHALL's
PHILOSOPHY

For some years past the feel
ing has been growing that if there
is any saner. fairer Democrat
than Ex-Nice President Marshall
he has not yet been discovered.
Mr.. Marshall's utterances are re-
freshing as "the shadow of
great rock in a weary land is
the way the Rochester Post-Ex-
press puts it. adding that they are
reasonable, sensible. free from
partisan bias. the views OF citi-
zen who is only incidentally a
Democrat but primarily an Am
erican. and a sincere. clear-headed
man"
A few days ago he was dis
cussing the primary election sys-
TEN and other matters that have
been agitating the public mind OF
late. in which connection be
stated that he is candid and bold
enough TO voice his doubts about
this new political filtration
plant" a man who had been
persuaded to change his church
concluded after trial that the old
one was just as good and a little
cheaper; and Mr.. Marshall finds
the old convention system lust as
good as the new one and vastly
less expensive. Resides this the
new-fangled device closes the
door to preferment against all ex,
cept those who are rich enough
to stand great expense and scoun-
drels who are willing to be syndi-
Gated and owned"
Mr.. Marshall's reflections OH
the Newberry case are equally in
teresting 1t should never have
been started. in his opinion, and
his view is confirmed by our
highest court. All the nine JUS
tees agreed in reversing the trial
court. and five of them held that
Congress had nothing to do with
election primaries, no control
over them and no right to say
how much money a candidate
might expend Assuming that
Senator Newberry's relatives and
friends spent half million dol
lars in putting their candidate be-
fore the people. the Supreme
court finds that the senator was
neither legally nor morally Gull
pable. And il he. were morally
reprehensiblc. says Mr.. Marshall.
a majority of the voters of Michi-
gan approved of his conduct and
are entitled to be represented BY
the man of their choice. In view
of the expenditures made in be-
half of presidential candidates
ranging from $l94.000 for Sena-
tor johnson to upwards of a mil
lion and half for general Wood.
the attempt to make scapegoat
OF Senator Newberry does not
meet the appreciation of the late
vice-president. or of other fair
minded men.

The Baltimore Americans editoria
on Mr.. Melvin appearing in this morn
ing's issue. was as follows:
4The County Editor
Although comparatively young
man when he died, Howard Mel
vim was one OF the veteran edi-
tors OF Maryland. Few. II any.
now in harness surpass his un-
broken record OF sc years as edi-
tor and publisher OF the same
newspaper. He made the Dem
ton Journal part OF the towns
environment. II was kindly
and friendly chronicle OF the town
and the county, and in this spirit
II scattered its pleasant referenc-
es from week 80 week and added
constantly TO the sum total OF To-
cal happiness. Editor Melvin was
a man of character and gentle
virtues and on good terms with
his neighbors. and he found his
work in recording the uneventful
events that marked the weekly
life of this peaceful community.
The flaring headline and the
scorching syllables never touched
the Denton Journal.
Conditions have changed. To-
day practically every town OF
Maryland receives the morning
papers and the evening papers,
and the weekly sometimes seems
a faint echo OF another age. And
yet for the good local weekly that
becomes an intimate historian OF
its own people there is permanent
need. Nothing has taken or can
take its place The big daily
newspapers really emphasize its
value by showing that they can
not perform its peculiar function.
Any town or county that has an
editor as faithful TO its life as
Howard Melvin was TO Denton
and Caroline county should APP
prcciate him by. supporting his
work and his publication. II is
the surest way to make and hold
community spirit"

This difference represents the I'M
just and unfair tax wrung from our
people in the past by an archaic
system, as old as 1t is wrong and
wicked.
We believe in the City ownership
and operation Of our ferry system
for the benefit of our people and not
lease of the system for an immoral
revenue to the City. and princely in
come to the lessees, all at the cost
and discomfort of a fractional part
of the citizenship of our City.
We are here to appeal to you to
give us relief from our present I'M
bearable situation and to give Il to
us in that form and manner which
alone can be scientific. To give us
the relief in a way that the tariff
will be elastic, permitting changes In
charges and regulations as exigencies
from time to time may require, and
not again to bind us, as we have been
bound in the past. through fifteen
years more of serfdom.
In our opinion, the only manner
and method by which this can be
accomplished is for the city to own
and operate its own Ferry system.
The City, from moral point of
view, should forego all ideas of en-
riching it's treasury from the opera
ton of the Ferries and should set
aside from the net revenues such
sums as may be necessary for vari-
Gus purposes appertaining to the
Ferry system and the balance, after
doing this, returned to the people In
the shape of comforts and lowered
tariff.
| am aware that under existing
conditions, a municipality owned ferry
would be more extensively operated
than a privately owned one, and in
saying this, am guided by the work
