Miss Harlan Rollins, famous golf star. recently

Gold players throughout the country are deluging the

the cello is his particular hobby.

WHO'S BROKE?

New York statisticians figure that
at the worst stage of the business de-
preston from which the country is
now emerging, consumption of COM
modities averaged only 10 per cent
under the peak of the preceding boom.
Eastern business men commonly
look upon the Western farmer as a
pessimist. Yet Western farmer can
take 10 per cent crop loss right on
the chin, without even blinking, where
as numerous Eastern business men
this year have been wringing their
hands over a business recession that
is fairly comparable to the farmers
10 per cent crop loss. And it is their
pessimism that has retarded complete
recovery.
Hard times? This generation knows
nothing about real hard times. Re-
cent estimates place the years invest
ment in miniature golf courses at con-
siderably more than two hundred mil
lion dollars, or more than the whole
American iron and steel industry was
worth only few decades ago.
Most of these golf courses paid for
themselves in the first few weeks of
operation, which plainly means that
the public has spent great deal more
than two hundred millioon dollars in
1880 for the privilege of indulging in
a wholesome pastime. And the folk
who have paid out this huge sum are
not the idle rich. They are, for the
most part, working people.
Forty years ago, the game of tiddly-
winks, played at a table indoors, had
as many devotees, proportionately, as
miniature golf has today. A set of
tiddly-winks could be bought for as
little as dime. A fine set could be
had for quarter. Yet many family
that wanted to play tiddly-winks did
not do so, for the reason that it could
not spare the dime or the quarter, the
latter coin representing about a quar-
ter of days wages.
A people that can spend hundreds of
millions of dollars on a new fad in a
single season is not exactly on it's way
over the hill to the poorhouse. A coun-
try that once had many citizen too
poor to spend quarter for the privi-
i, lege of playing tiddly-winks for the
rest of his life, eventually reached a
state of high prosperity. A country
whose millions can spend thirty-five
cents apiece for few minutes of pee
wee golf, should be able to reach a
similar state without any eventually"
about it.

Board of Agriculture; but consistent
with the plan to vest the sole lower
of appointment in the Executive with
out the necessity of securing the ap-
prevail of any other official, the Act of
1920 transferred the power to the
Governor.
"In 1924 my opponent declined an
opportunity to remedy this situation,
or it was evidently greatly to his
liking. In that year Senator Celgan
introduced separate bills providing
that the Commissioner of Banking, the
Employment Commissioner, the men,
bers of the State Tax Commission,
the Public Service Commission and the
racing Commission, should be con-
firmed by the Senate. These bills
passed both Houses of Legislature but
were vetoed by the Governor.
Similar bills were introduced by
Senator Colgan relating to the Acct
dent Commission, the State Auditor,
the Commissioner of Labor and Sta
tistics, the Conservation Commission
er, and the Insurance Commissioner.
These failed in the Legislature due to
the strenuous opposition of the Gov
ernor.
"In 1927 the present executive was
offered another opportunity to re-
establish, in part at least, a demo-
cratic form of government in Mary
land. The Senate passed Senator Col
gan's bills providing that that body
should confirm all appointments to
the office of the Commissioner of La
Dor, State Auditor, Conservation Com
missioner, Insurance Commissioner,
Employment Commissioner and men,
bers of the State Board Of Education,
the Public Service Commission, the
Racing Commission, the State Tax
Commission and the State Industrial
Accident Commission. After passing
the Senate these bills were transmit
ted to the House of Delegates and re-
ferred by the Speaker to a committee
of his own selection which reported
all of them unfavorable. When indie
pendent members of the Governors
own party attempted to rescue these
bills the Governors friend, the speak
err of the House and the present man.
ager of the Governors fourth-term
campaign, Mr.. E. Brooke Lee, left the
Speakers seat not only to attack these
bills on the floor Of the House, but to
whip into line every vote under his
control. AS result these measures
were killed.

had been riding the load of mine
props because he thought it more
comfortable than in the cab of the
truck.
Knox was engaged in logging OPP
erations with Woodrow Bridges, the
driver of the truck, and Patrick Bird
ges, with whom he lived in Beams
Cove.
Knox was born in Bittinger, Gar
rett county, and was a son of the late
Gerard and Cathrine Knox. He is sur
vived by his divorced wife and one
child, in Akron, O., three brothers,
David, of Addison; Harry, of Great

by three sisters, Mrs. Grover C. Tub
bets, Charleroi, Pa; Mrs. Mary Full
ton, Pennington, W. Va, and Mrs.
Edith Dye, Connellsville, Pa.
Before the United States entered
the World War, Knox served in the
Fourth French Army for two years.
He then Joined the American forces
and served in Company 10, First A. S.

the rank of sergeant. He participated

revise the theory of our government
as to gather into his own hands vir-
tually the whole power of the state, in
order to perpetuate his tenure in office.
The evils and abuses, the corruptions
and defalcations with which the people
of Maryland have become familiar are
the natural outcome of the practice of
the theory which the Governor has fos-
tered. The Governor cannot escape
official responsibility for the conse-
quences of this system which he
foisted upon the state. .,.-
