CONCERNING cARN1vALs

Dear Editor of Midland Journal
/ read with great interest what
-"Citizen" had to say about carnivals
in last weeks issue of your excellent
paper.
Permit me to add just word TO
help shape public opinion and If
possible arouse some desire to help
have our laws enforced.
1t surely is "bad pass" we have
come TO when the gamblers can
openly defy the law and run a lot

away with it, AS some one remarks.
take the gambling, selling of
chances, away from "the Carnivals' .
and there rs nothing left but ice
cream and soft drinks and chewing
gum.
1t is bad, possibly, to be without
fire protection of some kind, and yet
as heard good citizen remark
better let some of the best houses
! in the county burn down rather than
make race Of gamblers of our in

1t is well-knowp fact that we as
State and Nation are spending
vast sums to build more and better
schools. employ more skilled teach
ers, at ever increasing salaries.
This being fact. is it not crime
to allow gambling institution to BE-
fostered in every district in the coun-
lgty to corrupt the morals of these
presumably better educated boys and
girls.
One of the most heinous crimes
in history was the murder of the
poor little Franks boy in Chicago.
and it was inspired by the fact of a
need for money to pay gamblers
debt. Where are our guardians OF
the law, swearing to obey the consti-
tuition and laws and have them en-

How long will this audacious
thing be tolerated To what ex-
tent will they carry on Surely

FIRE HAZARD LEGISLATION


One of the most progressive pieces
of legislation passed by the Legis-
lature of 1924 is concerned with the
removal of fire hazards along the
rights-of-way of the railroads of the
State.
Years of experience here in Mary
land have developed the fact that no
matter how efficient the front end
screens in railroad locomotives, or
no matter, how rigid and through
the inspection of these screens by
competent officials, live cindesg are
bound to get out. If these cinders
fall in infiammable material poten-
tial forest fire is under way.
On the Patapsco State Forest the
B.. & O. Railroad, for a number OF
years, has removed the infammable
material a distance of 100 feet back
from the outer rail, once year, with
the result that a railroad fire in the
State Forest is now almost unheard
Of. This experience, coupled with
similar instances on private property
led the State Forestry Department.
to believe that the complete elm
nation of the railroad forest fire
would only come through State
wide removal of such hazards.
The project was put up to the
railroads of the State in conference
called by Governor Richie in 1921.
Without exception the railroad Of
ficials expressed themselves as favor.
able to the plan of controlling rail-
road fires by the making of safety
strips where the Forestry Depart
ment deemed advisable. and the
Forestry Department was requested
to get the permissions where it was
necessary to enter on private
property.
In order to make the project uni
form on State wide basis, it was
found necessary, however, to have
legal authorization, some owners, it
developed, refusing to allow the rail-
road entry on their property for re-
moval Of the infiammable material.
So it came about that the so-called
Safety Strip Bill was drawn up
and passed in April. 1924, and be-
came effective June of this year.
This bill, with the exception OF Queen
Anne and Somerset Counties. is
State wide in its application and pro-
yides for the removal, by the rail-
road, Of inflammable material 100
feet back from the outer rail, where
ever in the opinion of the Forestry
Department, a forest fire hazard
exists.
At the time of writing. August 9Th.
fire hazards have been listed over the
the entire State and over 500 letters
have been sent out to owners Of
woodland along the railroads, with
the request that they sign especially
prepared permits that will allow the
railroad authorities to enter on their
properties for the purpose of remov
ing the inflammable material.
The law provides in case the per-
is refused or withheld, that
he owner may be required to remove
The hazard himself. But SO far, it is
~ratifying to report that owners
generally are gladly giving this per-
realizing that it is benefi-
: al measure for the protection of
their own and adjoining woodlands

A three months compaign for World
Cooperation has been launched by the
National Council for Prevention of War
and its affiliated organizations. Stop

the form of posters and automobile
stickers will carry three-word way
side sermon to remote places and
cities alike from Eastport to San Diego.
THE peoples of the world are work
ing for peace while the governments
continue to think in terms of war, (" say
the leaders in this movement. We
must get on with the peace. Senti
ment will not end war. Isolation will
not end War. Cooperation will end
war.
The National Council for Prevention
of War declares;
.'If the war department Is to mobi-
lie the nation for the possibility of war,
because that possibility still exists, we
havea right to demand the encourage
ment and support Of the. government
in mobilizing the nation to make war
impossible. We have right to paral-
lei the September demonstration of
Americans will to outlaw war and
to build machinery for peace.

Father Of Revolution
At the convention of the Social

to the overthrow of the Czarist gov

there organized the Bolsheyik party.
Theoretically he was an Information
alist and yet a Russian Nationalist
in every fibre OF his being. He un-
derstood the Russian people better
than any one else and they uBier-
stood him. His honesty was beyond
all question. He and his wife lived
with Spartan simplicity in three small
rooms in the Kremlin without serv.
selves any of the luxuries Of life in
order to set an example before the
official world Of Russia
An idealist from his youth. he
dreamed of the establishment of a
government in Russia where human
selhshness was to disappear and every
one devote themselves to the public
good. He saw his dreams shattered
one by enc and instead Of the estab-
lishment of a socialist republic for
which he hoped. he saw his party and
his government compelled by the in
exorable facts of life to retreat from
it's socianstlc theories and in his last
years saw a steady advance toward
a capitalist state.
