MALoY BAREs FACTS.

VIM. NJ. Maloy, Democratic
candidate for nomination for Gov
ernor, spoke last week before a sec
ton of the League of Women
Voters and gave his hearers some
facts about the difficulties of regu-
lating public service corporations
under the present Maryland laws.
He explained how the companies
had turned the law to their own adj
vantage and said in conclusion:
''In old Japan, although the EN-
peror was to his subjects, the Mika-
do of Son of Heaven, yet the real
power in all matters that affected
the interests of the dominant group
of Barons, was in the unofficial
Shotgun The public service cor
porations of this State are complais-
ant and contented with plan of
government which by the fewer
elections law, the budget, the re-
organization scheme, the employ
ment of party machinery and army
of appointed office holders, enables
the Governor of Maryland to have
the tenure of office and apparent
power of Mikado, provided and
SO long as they have their Shotgun
Among the facts, please note that
the Rex of the Rennert and the
Sachem of Saratoga Street accord
ing to the press, go hats in hand to
pay their respects to His Majesty
at the Executive Mansion in Anna
polls but that the Maryland Mon
arch has for months been haunting
the abode of the Shotgun and court
ing the favor of his courier and his
counsellor. Perhaps you do not
know of the facts, so during this
campaign | will try to tell them to
you if / can get hearing, and
then you can make up your own
mind as to where is lodged SOW
ereignty in the Maryland Free State.
Il hope that whatever the result
of this campaign and election, that
the people Of Maryland viii see to
it that if our plan of government
makes Of the Governor a Mikado,
that then there will be a frequent
change of dynasty, and if the power
and influence of the great pubic
service corporations have established
a 'Shogunate' in our State, there
be no successor to that Office"

COOPERATION ALONE
MEANS SUCCESS.

The ides of March are here and
the beginning of the real activities
OF the farmer. Planting tobacco
beds have begun and in a short
while blowing and preparing the
soil for the sowing of crops will be
in order. Farming for many years
was a drudgery but Of later years
it has become, with modern ma
chinery and other conveniences and
better markets, a source of greater
pleasure. The farmers Of this coun-
tv and section of the state have be-
come more progressive in latter
years and as result become more
successful and independent. All
signs point to the coming year as a
successful one from an agricultural
standpoint, and we hope it may
prove so. While success in farming
like in all other avocations of life,
is to a large extent dependent upon
the individual farmer, there can be
no real success without cooperation.
In other words where unity and CO.
operation are lacking among those
engaged in agriculture there also
will be found little if any success.
Real success in farming is only
achieved through hard work, energy
and industry and the fullest CO.
operation among farmers. The
spirit of cooperation must be pres
ent and the dominant spirit where
success is to be accomplished. The
success or failure in farming during
the coming year, and in future, de-
pends at least nominally if not en-
tirely upon the spirit of unity and
cooperation among the farmers.
Organization and cooperation must
be had, and at all times, if ultimate
success is to be achieved by farm
ers. 1t is false delusion to depend
upon the Government for the treat
ing and fixing adequate markets for
farm produce. Adequate and re-
muneratiye markets can only be ac-
complished by the farmers them
selves, therefore, we hope that
with the bright prospects ahead that
the farmers of this county will leave
no stone unturned in their efforts to-
wards organization and cooperation
that success in farming may be-
come an accomplished fact.

ALL SIGNS POINT TO
CONTINUED PROSPERITY.

New records were established
in many trade and industrial lines in
1925, according to a report just
made public by the Federal Re-
serve Board on economic conditions
throughout the country. And these
new records of prosperity were es-
tablished under such conditions that
there is every promise that there
will be continued stability and pro-
gress throughout the present year.
The board especially emphasized
the fact that although there was
general great activity throughout
the year the fluctuation in price
levels, in the wholesale lines was
less than in any year since 1913. AT
the end of the year, despite the
heavy movements during the year,
the stocks in the hands of whole
salers and retailers were but four
per cent greater than at the end
of 1924. The amount of building
during 1925 was twenty-five per
cent greater than in 1924, but the
cost of building was no higher and
the prices of building materials re-
manned about the same.
Similarly the board said, mot
withstanding the increased output
of automobiles, which was consider
ably larger than in any previous
year, automobile prices were lower
at the end of 1925 than a year
earlier.
"The large increase in the volume
of productive activity in 1925. es-
pecially in manufacturing and build
ing, was thus not accompanied by a
rise in prices. and indicates a high
degree of elasticity in the produc-
tive power of industry, which has
enabled it to supply an increased
demand for its products at a rela-
lively constant level of prices"
The board stated that nearly all
the important industries were more
active in 1925 than in 1924, with the
largest growth in the building indus
try and in the production of COM
modities required in the construc-
ton and equipment of new build
ings.
Demand for goods by consum-
ers," it is stated, both urban and
rural, was sustained throughout the
year and was reflected in large
veiume of distribution of commo-
dities, both at wholesale and retail"

Disseminated against.
Little money is required to carry
out this purpose. 1t touches the
honor of the nation, and this Con-
gress should unhesitatingly take
steps to undo a wrong which mani
festly has been done men who served
their country faithfully.

like a book and has many friends
among the mountain people.
Today Sheriff Smaliwood, inter

there. The sheriff has talked with
a man living at the foot of the
mountains on the Shenandoah
river with W1OHl w HIldy LOOkA
breakfast the morning after the
killing. Whitley did not then know
he had killed Armour, the man
said.
Yesterday, Sheriff Smallwood said,
HoIley HoIlinsworth, of Wildwood,
va, reported that while on the
way to Washington with a truck
load of produce, he overlook man
on the road and offered him a lift.
The man was of giant proper
tons and fitted the description of
Whitley. The man appeared sus-
picious of Hollinsworth. and sud
denly asked Hollinsworth to let him
out at a country store. they were
passing. He explained that he Just
remembered he had to see the man
who kept the store.
On his way back home that night,
Hollingsworth stopped at the store.
The storekeeper said the man had
not come inside. Another rumor
has reached Sheriff Smallwood that
Whirley was seen In Georgetown
