BROENING ASSAILS HEAD
OF UNIVERSITY FOR MOVE
Declares DIR. ]. S. Ames Deserted
His Proper Field to Enter
Politics With Richie

DR.. Joseph S. Ames, president OF
Johns Hopkins University, was criti-
cised Tuesday night at Baltimore, by
Mayor William F. Broening, Republi-
can gubernatorial candidate, for edo
serting his proper scholastic field to
enter the political arena. Mayor
Broening spoke at political meeting
at Community Hall, in northwest
Baltimore.
Last Saturday, DR.. Ames announced
the formation of the Richie Citizen
ship League, with himself as leader.
Mayor Broening in his speech used
that action as the basis for his charge
that political considerations have con-
trolled the management of the county
school boards.
eff the desire for a fourth term is
so keen as to permit the invasion of
the Johns Hopkins University by par
tisan politics, is it to be wondered
that the same political considerations
have been permitted to enter and con-
troll the management of the county
school boards of Maryland which are,
under the governors reorganization
plan, directly appointed by him with
out confirmation by the senate?" the
mayor demanded.
Citing DR.. Ames' assertion that the
fourth term was not the issue of the
campaign, the Mayor declared:
"There is no originality in the
thought, but there is novelty in the
fact that the president of the Johns
Hopkins University lends himself and
the prestige of a great university to
meet the exegencies of a precarious
political situation.
"The political doctors of the Rit-
chic group. have long labored to ex-
plain away the article of our decla-
ration of rights which frowns upon a
long continuance of power or trust as
dangerous to liberty, and which de-
clares that rotation in these depart
ments is one of the best securities of
permanent freedom.
CDR. Ames' lengthy statement adds
nothing that has not already been
said by those political doctors who
find the declaration of rights embar-
RAISING to their personal ambitions.
CDR. Ames' venture in the political
arena is so recent that he may be
pardoned for having overlooked the
pronouncement of Thomas Jefferson
the acknowledged and revered father
of his political party, in declining to
treat the principles of rotation in
office as purely academic, and, there,
fore, refusing third term"

An Interesting Fact
A HATEFUL. JOURNEY

A FATEFULs JOURNEY
November %, 1888 20. S., March
Is, 1884, are two memorable dates in
the history of Maryland.
On the first mentioned date the Ark
and Dove, bearing the Maryland emf
grants, set sail from Cowes, on the
north shore of the Isle of Wight. On
the last mentioned date the voyagers
first disembarked on St. Clements
Island, having reached the promised
land"
Harrassed by his enemies, charged
with the intention of carrying nuns
over into Spain in his ships and SOL
diers to serve the Spanish king, over
taken on the journey by the kings
ships because of false information con-
veyed to government authorities that
his ships had departed without the
proper seals from the custome house,
nevertheless Cecil Calvert persisted
and finally saw the Ark and Dove off
on their adventurous journey. Two of
Cecil Calvert's brothers with very
near twenty other gentlemen of very
good fashion, and three hundred la
boring men, well provided in all the
necessary things" were on board.
They were hardy souls. Trusting
their lives and fortunes to the wind
and waves in the Ark, vessel of from
three to four hundred tons, and the
Dove, a pinnace of some fifty tons,
their voyage was beset with danger.
There is no written account in fact
or fiction so thrilling and exciting as
the account of the great storm which
overlook them on the first part of that
memorable voyage as recounted in
Andeas, but 1--WE had skillful captain
and so he was given his choice whether
he would return to England or keep
on struggling with the winds *
nevertheless, his bold spirit and his
desire to test the strength of the ship
which he then managed for the first
time, prevailed. He resolved to keep
the sea, with great danger, wanting
sea ROOM"
Finally holiness, courage, skill and
the ever-present desire to attain the
goal sustained them until the storm
abated. "From this time to our jour-
ney's end, about three months, includ-
ing the time spent at Barbados and
st. Christopher's, we had not one hour
of bad weather as our mar
liners never saw so sweet a passage"

Morrow Makes His Declaration

A many sided man is Dwight w. Morrow, republican
candidate for the office Of United States senator in
the state Of New Jersey. He was born on a farm. At
an early age he became a bread-winner. He fought
for an education. He won it by his own efforts.
Time rolled on and the farm boy became an eminent
financier, a trusted member of the house of Morgan,
an authority on international banking, a leader OF
the republican party. a friend and adviser OF American
presidents. an ambassador to the republic Of Mexico,
an adventurer in American politics, a candidate for
the primary nomination for senator on a remarkable
platform calling for the repeal Of the 18th amend
ment.
He swept every county in New Jersey. receiving q
majority in the stalwart dry counties. For months
and months. since his remarkable victory at the polls,
he has been the political sensation Of America. He
has made his opening speech in the campaign Of the
year. He will not be a candidate for the republican
presidential nomination in 1882. In that opening
speech ne reiterated his advocacy of the repeal of the
18th amendment and he eliminated himself as a
candidate for the presidency in the coming election
tw years hence. He commended warmly President
Hoover and the national administration and con-
cluded, Il look forward with pleasure and confidence
to the opportunity OF voting two years from now for
the denomination and reelection Of Herbert Hoover.
He e~ulogized the president to the highest degree.
He declared Hoover stands today a potent and positive
factor for peace at home and abroad.
He declared the distressed cure for business depres-
sion Is with the people. His words: The most eff
fective cure for hard times rests with the people
themselves and every employer who maintains his
plant and his organization Is making a substantial
contribution to the return Of prosperity" He made
another declaration that national prohibition was and
is not an issue in his senatorial campaign and there
this many sided man made a mistake or rather a
misstatement. He advocated the repeal Of the 18th
amendment. It is a political issue in many American
commemorative and il will remain a political issue
for years and years TO come.

where he served as a ranger Investigator, White
writes that Red Cross agencies alone have reported
e4o0 farm families must secure crop reduction loans
while 300 OF these families are now charity cases.
Proceeding along the same line OF information
Writer White says. 'in addition to these institutions
hundreds OF communities will be called upon for urban
relief for their idle people made SO by their crop fail
ures- A Red Cross agency at Spur is providing a local
fund Of $500 a month for their local charities. This
is the conclusion Of the former ranger, widely known
in business and newspaper circles Of the Southwest,
Texas government can and must help its helpless
creators as much as Texans are now asking the ma
tional government to contribute in credit facilities.
Heretofore Texas has never permitted her people to
suffer from lack Of food or raiment."
Why should Texas permit her people, to suffer
from lack Of food and raiment? Those who are
without collateral or credit viii be enabled to borrow
money from government credit banks or any other
banks. These unfortunates and their dependent ones
must be carried through the winter by Red Cross
agencies and the more fortunate Of their fellow citi-
zens in all sections of Texas, rural as well as urban
circles.
President Hoover has appointed a general commit
tee to work with the governors of states and local
committees. Well, winter Is almost here. Local aid
for local victims Of the drouth must be cared for by
local agencies. Talk is cheap. but it takes hard cash
to buy provisions and to provide shelter for the shell
terless ones. Texas is one of the richest Of American
commemorative. 1t is a matter of record that 90
per cent OF its farm population are tenants. They
were born in poverty. They are in debt more or less
from the cradle to the grave. They are the principal
sufferers in the drouth sections Of Texas and all other
agricultural iommonwealths Of the South and the
Southwest.

Texas Club Women Urged to Vote
For Amendments

There is an important election coming and there
are five pending amendments TO the constitution.
Texas club women are qualified voters. Mrs. r. F..
Lindsay is the president Of the Texas Federation Of
Womens Clubs. In a pointed address to the women
voters Of Texas Mrs. Lindsay calls for support at the
polls Of the amendments as a civic duty; that the
amendment enabling the supreme court 70 hold ses~
sions at any time has long been needed. that the
measure permitting the taxing Of university lands by
the counties in which they are situated meets a Just
need; that the one broadening the investment field
for university funds will largely increase the income
Of the institution. Her recommendation is that the
voters Of the commonwealth. both men and women.
will not be negligent Of the civic duty that good citi-
zenship imposes upon them. but will vote without
regard to party or factional differences in support
Of these wholesome changes.
It is estimated that 100000 Texas women are quail
fled voters. Il is to be hoped that vast numbers will
60 70 the polls on election day and cast ballots in
support Of the wholesome changes"
