An Interesting Fact.

Inc Union saved by maryland
1t would seem, in the light of events
of the past several decades, that Mary
land was foreordained to play most
important role in directing the des-
tiny of this. country.
Perhaps no single instance serves
to emphasize the influence of this
State in solidifying and tieing to-
gether the various and conflicting in
terests making up what is now a
united republic.
On the 9th of November, 1777, a
plan for the first perpetual union was
agreed to by Congress when the Ar
ticles of Confederation were adopted.
By the following July these articles
had been ratified and signed by all
the states except New Jersey, Della
ware and Maryland, and by May, 1779,
Maryland was the only State that
withheld her signature to the compact
and expressed determination to re-
main merely an Associated common
wealth" outside the pale of the formal
confederacy until some satisfactory
settlement should be made of what
was known as the Northwestern Ter
ritory.
Maryland, perhaps more clearly
than any of the other states, saw ele-
ments of danger to herself and the
smaller colonies in permitting this
vast territory to be attached to states
already formed, thereby greatly en-
larging and extending their boundar-
les to the west and south. Maryland
demanded that these vacant western
lands should be used to form new
states, and until this should be agreed
to refused to sign the Articles of
Confederacy, even in the face of the
claim of her adjoining colony, Vir-
ginia, which by the use of men and
money had wrested vast stretches of
the northwest from the British by
force of arms and therefore laid claim
to the conquered territory. Virgin
ia, however, owing to the immovable
determination of Maryland and for
the common good, gave up her claims.
Thereupon, on the first day of March,
1871, Maryland signed the Articles
thereby assuring the ceding of the
Northwest Territory to the general
government.
This attitude was not merely cap
tiousness on the part of Maryland,
for she knew from boundary expert
ences with her neighbors that disputes
about land engendered enmity, and
while for long time she raised her
voice alone, the other states were
gradually convinced of the fairness
and wisdom of her stand, if any last
ing nation was to be built as the fruit
of the Revolution. By her insistence
on the creation of national domain
she welded the most effective bond
that could have been devised for a
lasting union, and when peace came
the thirteen states found themselves
joint owners of vast territory and
their common interest in developing
their joint property held them firmly
together.
1t is now the consensus of opinion
that Maryland's foresight saved the
Union and preserved it for US as
blessed inheritance.

N the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MANILA, July 31.-Manuel Quezon,
Senate President; Acting Senate Presi-
dent Sergio Osmena and Acting Speaker
of the House De Ia Salas today ac-
copied President Hoover's offer to dis
cuss the appointment of Nicholas
Roosevelt as Vice Governor of the Phil
ippines.
In a message to the Filipino mission
at washington the insular leaders said
they were willing to discuss the subject
with an open mind. in accordance with
the Presidents suggestion, prompted
by a sincere desire to reach Just and
satisfactory solution"
In message transmitted through the
War Department and Gov. Gen
Dwight w. Davis, the President ex-
pressed the hope Mr.. Quezon and his
colleagues will cooperate by keeping an
open mind until they have had an OPP
portunity to clear up all questions WITH
reference to this appointment.
The InSular Senate unanimously went
on record against the appointment OF
Roosevelt and native opposition was
widespread. His book, The Philip
pines: A Treasure and Problem" con-
tributed to the opposition.
With the Filipino leaders willing to
discuss the appointment, it was con-
eidered possible arrangements could De
made whereby Roosevelt's coming would
not precipitate an open controversy.
