HIRAM'S MISTAKE

But that was one of my foolest
stunts"
Said Hiram Grubbins. 81 wanta say
That advertising don't nohow pay.
A two-inch ad was what | run
In just one issue and only one,
For that was enough to show me pla
That advertising don't bring no gain.
Said the AID Man then, Of you used
that dope
In estimating the worth of soap,
You'd wash one finger-and then as
sert
That soap had little effect on dirt.
You'd dip one foot in the bath some
night
And claim that bathing was useless
quite;
That soap and water were more or
less
Completely futile for cleanliness.
IF you'd YOU'D be clean you must get the
Instilled by Ivory, Pears or Rabbit,
You must wash a lot in a thorough

maintain Navy to protect New York
and other seacOast cities. The people
of great many states never see a
battleship during their entire lives.
There is no valid objection to this, be-
cause everyone realizes that the cap
ture or ruin of the seacoast cities
would affect the entire Nation.
The same principle holds in the con-
struction of national system of good
roads, The whole nation will benefit
vastly from good roads-in increased
prosperity, better education and de-
velopment of natural resources.
The money spent on rivers is all
paid by the Federal Government from
general taxation, yet this traffic is
only a small fraction Of the traffic
along our improved highways, and its
benefits are proportionately small.
To the farmer, hard road means
more than any other Federal activity,
even the Postal Service. 1t is a con-
venience to get his mail promptly, but
a good road makes it possible for him
to run his farm or dairy at much
higher rate of production and greater
profit, gives him and his family more
of the comforts and luXuries of life,
helps his children to get a better ed
ucation, and raises his entire stand
ard of living.
Why contend that roads, q public
utility for all the people, should be
left to different groups of people to
develop, when Postal Service, Army,
Navy and the projected superpower
system ere admitted to he National
affairs?

JAIL FOR BOOTLEGGERS

Attorney General Stone believes
that if the federal government ex-
poets results from it's campaign
against the illicit manufacture, dis
tribution and sale of alcoholic bev-
erages the efficacious method of pro-
cedure against the bootleggers is to
give them jail sentences instead Of
fines.
With this end in view the Depart-
ment of Justice has sent out blanket
instructions to the federal District
Attorneys throughout the United
States to urge persistently, consist
entity and relentlessly upon the courts
the desirability Of differentiat;ng be-
tween those violators of the Volstead
law an dthe Eighteenth Amendment
who profit commercially from their
effenses and those whose misdemean-
ors do not yield profit.
In other words, violations which
''indicatc the maintenance of liquor
business in violation OF the Eighteenth
Amendment" are to be treated diff
ferently from personal defiance of the
law and the Eighteenth Amendment
Mr.. Stones first move in the en-
forcement of the law is based upon
good Judgment and sanely interprets
The function of the agencies Of prose-
cution in the government.

MONDAY, MAY 5

In those years in which there
shall be an election of a Presi-
dent, the Presidential primaries,
including primaries for nominal
ing candidates for Congress,
delegates from the several coun-
ties and Legislative districts of
Baltimore city to the State con-
vention, and all candidates to be
elected at the Presidential cleo
ton, other than delegates to ma
tional conventions and Presiden-
tial electors (Which said dele
gates and electors shall be chosen
by the State convention) shall be
held on the first Monday in May.
This is the law of Maryland, and
thus the Presidential primaries for
both parties take place on May 5. In
Baltimore city the polls will be open
from 6 to and in the counties from
z to 6. All affiliated voters on the
registration books will be entitled to
vote in the contests of their respec-
tive parties.
How many of them are interested?
How many mark May on their cal
endars as day on which they must
go to the polls? How many will use
the intervening month for thought
and study as to what they can do for
the better political life of their
country?
The politicians are on the iob-you
may be very sure of that. They are
fixing their states. Both party orga-
nizations are perfecting their plans.
They know every detail of the law
and a good deal outside the law.
One thing they count on is that the
General Public will not bother about
its responsibilities. And this in spite
of the fact that the primaries were
provided so that the General Public
would have the means of registering
its judgment and selecting the kind of
men who are to rule over us.
Another point is that Maryland by
its recent provision of fewer elections
has lessened the call upon the voters,
WIN, III IlllS CIelIe DIT lGdSI, nave less
cause of complaint than they ever
had.
But, likely as not, the day after the
election the General Public will come
out with the usual lamentations that
the politicians have everything in
their own hands. The 365-day fellows
will score another laugh on the good
citizen who will not give even one
day to his duty.
It's the same old story, but it need
not be. People of all parties should
take heed. To the women especially
the plea is made to think of May 5.
Mark it down, talk about it and dis
cuss it. Make the Maryland primary
worth while as the live expression of
the peoples interest!
