DIR. WISE A WILSON ADMIRER.

Eulogizing Woodrow Wilson and
criticising his enemies, Rabbi Stephen
S. Wise of New York spoke at lunch
con meeting of the Maryland Commit
tee of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation
at the Emerson Hotel Baltimore last
week. Rabbi Wise is one of the leaders
of thought among the Jewish people
of the nation, and his speech evoked
great enthusiasm from the large crowd
at the meeting. DR.. John NJ. T. Finney
presided and both he and Rabbi Wise
took credit to themselves for their re-
straint in not matchmaking those
who failed to support the Wilson poll
cies.
THE last administration was mark
ed by some political infelicities," said
Dr. Wise. Il was a Republican until l
became a Woodrow Wilson American.

itical refuge. He was equal to the oc-
casion during the war because, like
Lincoln, he was American through ant

PATRONAGE ROW

Washington D. c., Jan. 22.-Last
Sundays parade and demonstration
| for Woodrow Wilson furnished new
/ fuel for the Republican patronage row
/ that has been raging underground for
several weeks.
+ Republicans have complained to their
/ leaders that the affair was staged
and participated in largely by Demo
Gratis who have been allowed to hold
+ their Jobs under the Harding Admin
istration, and they want the President
to get busy with the broom and sweep
the departments clean.
Certain Republicans have already
carried their complaints to high au-
thorities at the executive end of Penn
sylvania avenue, and pointed out that
the Wilson demonstration was car
ried on by persons who were diSloyal
to the Harding Administration.
Half the Wilson parade" said Rep
resentative Riddick, Republican, Mon
tana. was composed of men supposed
to be carrying on the work of this
Administration. They are ready to
throw uD their hands for Wilson and
undermine this Administration at any
time. A man must have the right to
hire and fire in order to command 10y

Workers for the Woodrow Wilson
Foundation believe they have discov-
cred signs of a tightening up by Off
cials. who would like to discourage
their efforts. They have found difficult

the departments.
A patronage peace conference
may have to be, assembled soon. I'M
less the Administration shakes the
plum tree little harder and oftener
for the rank and file of Republicans.
A stifening of the ranks for what
they believe to be their share in the
spoils was noticed in the recent dis

TO SEND POSTMASTERS TO

Postmaster General Hays has figur-
ed prominently in the papers in con-
nection with the activities of his office,
but, aside from occasional procIama-
tions of pure intentions, there is little
to indicate that any real reforms have
been wrought He has just issued an
other proclamation announcing that
newly named postmasters will be re-
quired to attend school to learn how
70 meet the public, their places in the
immunity, how to handle complaints,
etc" This is disconcerting in that it
assumes the Appointment of men of
rather low intelligence. Anyone fit to
be postmaster will not require school
ing on the points enumerated. The
other day it was the clerks who were
to be humanized. Next the pOstoffice
was to be employed in the humanitar-
ian wark of bringing scattered fam
lilies together. Now the postmasters
are to be schooled. But the service
remains about as before, with no i'm
provement certainly, and with the new
postmaster general admitting that the
service under Barleson could only be
improved by charging the public more
for it.

The gentleman from Texas (Mr
Garner. who has wide knowledge OF
revenue matters, says in his judg-
ment it, (the deficit will be six or
eight hundred millions, and this NAV
be true by the time Congress gets
through making deficiency appropria-
tons and new commitments on the
Treasury"
He also called attention that all
though the estimates for 1928, includ-
ing the supplemental estimates, are
$S7, O1T410.53 greater than the appro-
Driations for 1922, the prices for sup
plies, such as coal, furniture, station
airy, etc. to be purchased, involving
hundreds of millions of dollars, would
be reduced from Is to 25 per cent in
1923 from prices paid early in 1922.
Considering this in connection with
the increase in estimates, Mr.. Byrns
said:
The people were promised there
would he a downward cut in appro-
priations. If the President should have
his way, the result will be an enormous
increase. and our government will
have to borrow money to meet its or
binary expenses in peace times"

THE INDICATION OF NEWBERRY

1t is not compliment to the United
State Senate to say that the people are
not surprised that Senator Newberry
will be permitted to retain his seat in
that BODY. But in this day, when re-
gard fov law appears to have reached
such low level, it is very disappoint-
ing that the United States Senate will
permit a mere technically to become
the basis of its verdict
That huge sums of money were used
to secure Newberry's election, was ad-
mtted. That this practice is a viola
ton of law. was not denied
The sole defense was that the can
didate himself was not responsible for
expenditures as they were made with
out his knowledge. The members of
the Senate NAV believe this defense
to have been honestly made, but it
will be difficult for the average Amer
lean to understand how a candidate
foE the United States, in a closely
fought contest. could have no little in
terest in his own campaign as not to
know that $4,000 was required to
defeat his opponent.
This verdict will shake the faith of
the INDEPENDENT element of the coun-
try in the integrity of the United
States Senate, and will constitute
new foundation for the old charge that
seats in the United States are for sale,
and that in America today, a man with
wealth can violate law with impunity.

SENATOR BEASMAN

The news Of the death of Senator

friends in Carroll county, few of whom
knew OF bis illness, and universal
we're the expressions of sorrow. :
His life was a busy and useful one
Born in the county, he had a deep and
abiding love for it, and never failed to
seize an opportunity to advance its
interests Raised on a farm, he was
not only a good farmer, but his prop
critics showed that he was a most ad-
vanced one.
He loved the outdoors and found
relaxation with horse and hound
There was no better horseman in
MARYLAND than Johnnie Beasman; rs
young man he followed the hounds
with the most daring riders, and when

the civil war, he usually crowned the
queen of love and beauty.
In the councils of the Democratic
party. both in the State and County,
his advice was sought and his views
given careful consideration. There
were few, if any, better judge of char
acter and the deep and controlling
forces OF human action than Senator
Bcasman, and in his death the Coun-
