There is a magic about this land, a
sense Of unreality. 1t seems, at times,

Wallace Confirms Charges Against
Republican, Tariff.

The Democratic party is indebted to
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace for a
confirmation OF all that its national Or
ganization has been saying about the dis
tressful condition Of agriculture and the
cause thereof.
The most pertinent thing that Secretary
Wallace says is that THE farmer could
get along fairly well with the present
prices of what he has to sell if prices of
what he must buy were down accordingly.
But prices of other things remain high
That is what hurts"
Secretary Wallace, however. fails to state
the causes that produced this disparity
between the prices the farmer gets for his
products and the prices he pays for what
he buys. He does not tell his readers that
the foreign policy Of the Republican ad-
ministration has destroyed the farmer
market abroad. He does not tell that the
Fordney- McCumber Tariff is responsible
for the enormous increase in the prices of
everything the farmer must buy. He does
not tell how the Republican members of
the Farm Bloc" bamboolzed the farmers
by putting tariff duty upon agricultural
products. with the promise that it would
raise the prices thereof, in order to allay
their opposition to the other tariff rates
imposed upon the people in the sole inter-
est Of special privileged class. and which
the Republican Farm Bloc" supported.
These facts, however, are now so gen.
orally known that taken in connection with
Secretary Wallace's statement the two to.
gether constitute the most severe arraien.
ment of the Republican tariff policy which
has yet come from Republican source.

Judge Edward G. Peter.

In no one man Of this time in Mont
Romery county has there been centered so
much Of those things which 90 to make up
a first citizen. as in the life Of Judge
Peter, Associate Judge Of the Sixth Judi
cial Circuit Of Maryland. In his death the
State and county, as well as the commu-
nifty, have suffered an irreparable loss.
Like most men, he was the product of
environment; yet he had interviewer into
his very being elementary principles which
caused him to withstand, as few men
have, the logical effects Of certain modern
conditions.
His tastes were simple and he eschewed
luxury and ease.
Although possessed Of the qualities Of
frugality in keeping with his Scotch ances-
try, he was not a lover Of money. He was
quite willing to whole heartedly, continu-
ously and laboriously perform the duties
Of Judge. at a moderate salary. while other
members Of his profession, oftentimes with
less exertion and capacity, enjoyed far
more abundant compensation for their
professional services.
The changes of modern conditions, in
stead of allurine him by its attractions,
have only served to Undue him with a
deeper sense of responsibility in the solu-
ton of the social, economic and moral
problems which have developed during
and since the war.
From fearless and daring leader in
the realm of politics, he became great
welder of men Of conflicting views into the
brotherhood Of mutual trust and friend
ship. enjoying the personal esteem of
erstwhile friend and foe alike under the
mellowing influences Of tolerance and good
will.
From a vigorous and ofttimes scathing
advocate at the bar, he grew and broad
ened into the full statue Of just, upright
and impartial judge.
Always sympathetic with those in dis
tress, as the presiding judge OF the first
Juvenile Court in this county, he learned
to apply constructively. yet cautiously and
considerably modern methods for the pre-
vention and alienation Of suffering.
He was slow to favor the enactment of
new laws, but was a strong believer in the
observance Of those on the statute books.
His admirable common sense and ca
pacity to judge human nature concurred
in enabling him to so apply the law as to
effect practical results, going to the basic
rights Of litieants. and he was always
loath to apply the technicalties OF the
law except so as to do equal and exact
justice.
A beloved friend, kind neiehbor, an
enlightened and patriotic citizen. and an
admirable judge has gone to his reward;
and those who had the privilege to know
him mourn his loss and will ever revere
his memory.
