VACATIONITIS

Vacationitis, recurring malady, is
reported to be epidemic in all parts
of the country.
symptoms are restlessness and a
"far away" look in the eyes. Other
symptoms are yawning from lying
awake at night trying to reason out
the best place to 60.
A sure diagnosis can be made when
the patient" begins to study road
maps. This is regarded as an unfail-
ing sign that the afflicted one is in
the last stages and is on the verge of
"succumbing.
The disease is invariably fatal. 1t
attacks the imagination centers and
causes them to expand to such de-
gree that a dollar bill looks like a ten
when the "patient" leaves home. 1t
all but paralyzes the muscles of the
body and all control over them is lost.
Advance reports from the lake re-
gions, wooded places, fishing grounds
and mountain retreats are to the eff
feet that the malady is much more
serious and far reaching this season
than ever before in the history of the
world.
Once the "patient" is thoroughly
under the influence of the ailment, it
is impossible to predict with any de-
gree of accuracy what turn the dis
ease will take.
A study of "vacationitis" caso
through long period of years by stu
dents of the disease reveals that few
if any ever recover completely. Once
one is infected, he is almost certain to
have it annually about this season.
The most serious after effect is the
fiattening of the bank roll. The pa
tient" RECEIVERS from all save this. 1t
is lasting and hangs on forever.

FIFTY YEARS OF MURDER

A county prosecutor, gathering
murder figures for guidance in his
own criminal policy, finds that there
have been 100000 persons murdered
in this country in the last half-cen-
tury, and that the average in recent
years has been about 10000 a year.
Here is an army of slaughtered
citizens. 1t appears that there. have
been four persons slaughtered by
their fellow-countrymen to every SOL
der killed in war by foreign enc
mics.
1t is a shocking revelation. Yet
it is doubtful whether it will shed any
new light on the murder problem or
suggest any new solution.
Shall murder be punished more Sc
verely, or less severely? All the study
and analysis of this question seem to
bring no generally convincing an
swer. There are strong arguments
for and against capital punishment,
but not decisive ones on either side.
There does seem to be a growing
feeling that the murders mind is
usually sick mind, and that mur-
der cases therefore are likely to be
pathological as much as criminal. But
the science of ''ministering to a mind
diseased" is still in its infancy. 1t
takes a remarkably gifted psycholo-
gist to take a killers mind to pieces
and tell what part of his criminal
deed was caused by irresponsible
weakness or inherite,! defect and
what by deliberate and responsible
choice.
We are not likely to solve this
criminology problem until the twin
sciences of mind and morals are far
more advanced than they are now.
Pending such progress, a more gen
eral effort for peace and human
brotherhood, at home and abroad,
should help to modify the killing
spirit.

Now and Ten Years Ago

A few of our friends seem to be
unable to figure out why the subscrip-
tion price of the Local is 80 cents
more than it was ten years ago.
Ten years ago the blank paper on
which the Local is printed cost $40
a ton. Today the same paper costs
800 a ton. The ink cost then $4 per
100 pounds. Today the price is 50
per hundred
Ten years ago when the paper was
one dollar it took ten dozen eggs to
pay years subscription. Now, at
$3.50 a year, it takes little more
than four dozerr eggs to pay for the
paper for year. Ten years ago it
took four gallons of syrup to pay for
the paper. Today it takes less than
two gallons Ten years ago it re-
quired the price Of four frying chick

A GRADE CROSSING DISA.
GREEMENT THAT is BE-
SIDE THE POINT
Baltimore SUM

As Vice-President Galloway, of the
Baltimore and Ohio, could not COM
nit the road to an expenditure for
grade crossings without the assent of
the directors, the precise terms of any
understanding he made with Chair
man Mackall, of the State Roads
Commission, are not important. If he
indicated belief that the management
would look favorably upon some plan
of cooperation with the State to begin
this work, that is all that is nee
essary.
The whole subject must be threshed
over, and much will be gained if the
railroads and city and State author
tiles have reached a point where they
are ready to discuss seriously ways
and means to make a beginning with
this big undertaking.
The proposal should not be side
tracked because elimination of cross
ings all over the Baltimore and Ohio
system would cost, according to Mr..
Galloway's estimate, S550,0O0,000. If
the vast sum to complete the job is to
stand as stumblingblock in the way
of even making a start on it, nothing
would ever be done.
1t happens that in Maryland, on
one of the most important sections of
the Baltimore and Ohio's main line,
crossings can be eliminated at COM
paratively small expense. If arrange
ments can be made to divide this ex-
pense equitably, the progressive atti-
tude of the State in the matter should
prompt the company to go as far as it
can go to meet it.
The work will necessarily stretch
over a long period of years. Neither
the State nor the railroad are going
to be able to find the money to do the
whole thing at one time. 1t cannot be
done except by tackling the job where
conditions are ripe and where the out
lay does not impose too heavy bur-
den. If this State advances a feas-
ible proposition, there is no reason
to refuse to consider it on the ground
that to do so means that the road will
be forced to set about the same un-
Idertaking in a number of other States
at enormous outlay. That is equiva-
lent to throwing up hands and saying
that nothing at all can be done.
In New York, the railroads, it is
our understanding, have assented in
principal to the States plan by which
they are advanced the money at low
rates Of interest to eliminate cross
ings, the expense being shared. They
have not held back on the theory that
! if they go ahead in New York they
will have to act in other States. There
is no good reason why a different pol
icy should be followed here if agree
ment can be reached that is accepta-
Dle to the State and the railroads.

1t is this Company, grown to such

when its founders dreamed and dared,
with which the City of Baltimore and
the State of Maryland will join in be-
fittingly celebrating in 1927 the cen
tennial Of the granting of its charter
in 1927. Following it's own precedent
Of being the first in the Union to
grant a charter from which a railroad
was actually started, constructed and
completed, the State of Maryland
again was first to take the initial step
in recognition Of the approaching
hundredth anniversary of this act. At
the 1924 session Of the Maryland
Legislature, the assembIymeu in
joint resolution empowered Governor
Albert C. Richie to appoint a Com
mission to represent Maryland and
cooperate with civic and commercial
organizations and with the Railroad
Company in the celebration, By vir-
tue of this authority, Governor Rit-
chic appointed the following Commits
sion:
George Weems Williams, BaIti-
more; John w. Garrett, Baltimore;
Jacob Epstein, Baltimore; Alexander
Brown, Baltimore; Van Lear Black,
Baltimore; Holmes D. Baker. Freder-
lex; Oliver H. Bruce, Jr., Cumberland.
In the personnel of this commission
/ the Governor chose those representa-
tive of the highest type Of citizenship
and of success in their business or
professions. Mr.. Williams is an at
torney; Mr. Garrett, diplomat; Mr..
Epstein, a merchant; Mr.. Brown, the
head of Maryland's oldest banking in
stitution; Mr. Black, a fnancier; Mr..
Baker, banker; Mr.. Bruce, an attor-
ney. As if to typify the historic at
mosphere which the Baltimore and
! Ohio seems to have breathed all dur
ing its existence, even some Of the
members of this commission are rep
resentative Of the railroads founders,
/ Messrs. Garrett and Brown being di-
rect descendants of two of the COM
pany's originators. The grandfather
and uncle of Mr.. John W. Garrett
were the seventh and eighth presi-
dents of the railroad and the grand
father of Mr. Alexander Brown was
the first treasurer of the company.

FOREWORD.

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company was the first to
obtain a charter under which a
railroad was actually started CON
structed and completed for the
specific purpose of Transporting
passengers and freight, and is
still operating, for nearly a CEN
tury, under its original charter
name. 1t was the first railroad
to cross the Allegheny Noun
talns; the first to issue a time
table; the first to employ cleo
trlcIty as a means Of cOmmunlca-
ton, having the first telegraph
line in the world, over which Prof.
5. E. B. Morse sent his first mes
sage, ,and the first to employ cleo
tricity as motive power.

recently at Baltimore.

more to the State Legislature. 1t was
he who drew up the Baltimore and
Ohio's charter and submitted it for
approval, introducing it in the Legis-
lature, where it was granted on the
28th day of February, 1927, only 26
days after the first meeting to con-
slider the railroad. Under this same
charter the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road started and under this same doc
Ument it is operated today, 98 years
later.
Referring to the activity of the
citizens of Baltimore in starting the
Baltimore and Ohio on its way, the
Baltimore Gazette Of February IS.
1921 remarked:
"To the citizens Of Baltimore
belongs the credit of being the
first in the Union to organize an
association for the purpose of
building a railroad adapted for
general trade and transporta-
ton"
Issuing the Stock.
On February 28th the capital stock
of the company was authorized at
100000 and by March 8th the Vir-
ginia State Legislature had confirmed
the Baltimore and Ohio's charter. Sub
scription books were opened for stock
in the new company closing on March
31st, when 48,781 shares had been
taken,which included the 5000 shares
allotted to the City of Baltimore. The
total subscribed to in the city was
S4,178,O0O, which was absorbed by
22,000 subscribers.
Then followed much detailed inves-
tigation and surveys. On the Fourth
of July, 1928, construction of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad was actu-
ally started when the First Stone
was laid on the outskirts of Balti-
more with no less a distinguished pa
triot and American than Charles Car
roll Of Carrollton, last surviving sign
er of the Declaration of Independence,
casting the first spadeful of earth and
assisting the Grand Lodge Of Masons
in the ceremony. This stone still
marks the spot in West Baltimore
where Americas first railroad got its
start. 1t stands where it was origi-
nally placed, situated on the Mount
Clare Branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio, between Mount Clare Junction
and the Claremont stockyards south
of Wilkins Avenue and Millington
Lane. 1t is within 500 feet of the Car
rollton Viaduct, also built by the Bal
timore and Ohio in 1929, the oldest
stone arch railroad bridge in the
world, which is still used for the
heavy railroad traffic Of today.
Upon the occasion of laying the
"First Stone," the venerable patriot
Charles Carroll, who was then ninety
years old, gave expression to these
memorable words:
81 consider this among the
most important acts of my life,
second only to my signing the
Declaration of Independence, if
even it be second to that"

be termed "History of the Locomo
tive" for when the "Rail Way" was
undertaken in 1927, steam as a mo
tive power on rails was practically
