Communication

While it may be at variance with
the rules of etiquette to make reply
to the rather absurd comments of the
Honorable Nh Automobile Owner
vet l feel it my duty to inform the
more enlightened citizens of Cam
bridge of my convictions.
Perhaps all who read these lines
with a person, or rather argue,
have been taught to never discuss
question or subject of which the ore
with whom he is engaged knows
nothing. Thus | have decided that
it is a waste of time and energy TO
discuss further with Mr.. Automobile
Owner on the subject he has intro
duced for surely he knows nothing
concerning the duties Of the state
police He knows nothing OF what
should constitute their duties; ne
knows nothing as to what kind OF
laws automobiles should be forced
to observe; and he has no conception
whatsoever of real freedom. He
doesn't even know who the state
police are and l doubt if he has ever
seen one of them. There is posi-
bility that he has mistaken a boy
scout for the notorious" road cop,
but at that the boy scout has high
principles There are people who
sometimes boast of their wonderful
intelligence but when the real facts
are known it is at once discernlble
that they are far below even the
average in mental efficiency. 1 leave
it to the citizens of Cambridge to de-
eide for themselves where Mr.. Auto
mobile Owner belongs.
If Mr.. Automobile Owner, the dig
nified gentleman of worldwide fame,
is not satisfied with the laws OF
Maryland if he is of the opinion that
our way of governing is unjust; II
he sees that his individual rights are
being encroached upon, why doesn't
he as others have done migrate and
continue to migrate until he has
found a land that affords better OPP
Dortunity for the oppressed, a land
in which he may live in peace and
where state police do not abound,
land where he may walk hand III
hand with others of his class through
the golden harvest-felds, where each
succeeding day and year brings new
peace and prosperity, and where he
may live the life he so much longs
for.
Evidently he would be better sat
isfied and | am sure the people OF
Maryland would not mourn his de-
parture.
The earth would continue to re-
volve in its orbit and the sun would
not cease to shine Although Mary
land has no room for Mr.. Automo-
al If n hCnlnfQ
at least absolescent there are other
realms of lesser civilization which
will open their doors for admittance.
Perhaps Mr.. Automobile Owner
is of a higher calibre than some may
fancy him and he may be right af-
ter all in saying that l am not capa-
BILE of differentiating law and license:
Realizing the possible wisdom he
possesses l would never think of
comparing my intellectual faculties
with his. MI Automobile Owner
pretends to have superior ideas on
certain masures and it may develop
that he is O. genius on law-making
and parliamentary procedure. He
may be man of superior intelligence
although he does not know anything
about the state police. l would
therefore recommend that he apply
to President Harding for cabinet
position or for some other position
where real brain power is essential.
The position of Postmaster General
is soon to be vacated by Mr.. Hays,
and 1 suggest that the citizens of
Cambridge urge for appointment to
the position of honor and trust one
of their honorable citizens, know
to me as Mr.. Automobile Owner. l
am very anxious to see our friend in
a position where he can display his
wonderful ability, where he may be
of service to his countrymen in di-
recting them to a goal of higher
learning, and from which he may
eventually ascend to the highest pos
ition of the land, position for
which, beyond all reproach, he is
most highly fitted.
