THE LIBERATOR

Editor Midland Journal:
Request that you find space in the
columns of your weekly the enclosed
poem (author unknown), found in
Religious magazine read at the Con-
gressional Library, Washington, d. G.
Laws we do not know we are break
ing every day.
Innocent, we err and unwittingly
offend;
suffering and pain is the penalty we
pay,
Ignorant of cause from beginning
to end.
Pressed upon and bound by the for
ces of the past,
Thralls are we to fear and the
slaves of dark despair;
iriefs and doubts enchain and our
fears hold us fast;
Heavy is the weight of the bond
age that we bear.
10y is on the earth and the proof of
it is shown,
When life conforms to the In
finite design.
When the bars are burst we attain
unto our own,
Here and now find bliss and har-
mony divine.
Jain the strength of flesh, and the
sword is but mock;
Not from any forge can come the
liberating blade.
Yet there is a might that can break
the letters lock-
Where may 1t be sought? OF what
substance is it made?
Beautiful and bright and invincible
as when,
Centuries ago we were told what
it would be.
Centuries ago said the Sages unto
aye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free"

PRACTICAL ADVICE TO MOTOR.
lists

Sub-zero weather may be Just
around the corner" and In anticipa-
ton of the worst, the Keystone Au-
tomobile Club of Maryland comes for
ward with practical advice to motor
lists. Precautions that will elimi-
nate the hardship and Inconvenience
of winter motor failure are listed In
timely bulletin issued recently.
william s. Canning, Engineering
Director of the Club, said experience
has convinced the Clubs Emergency
Road Service Department that much
OF the trouble incident TO cold wealth
err can be avoided. His formula for
Itrouble-free winter motoring follows
First OF all, make sure the battery
Is fully charged. Very few motor
lists know that battery showing
only one-quarter charge will freeze
at 10 degrees above zero. AT half
charge, 1t will freeze at zero, but 1t
is good for SO below when fully
charged.
Second, 1t is well to change from
heavy to a lighter oil. Even strong
battery will have difficulty in turning
over a motor begged down In heavy
oil. Your dealer knows the correct
grade for your car.
Third, make sure the gas line and
carbureator are clean.
Fourth, check the ignition and
spark plugs.
Fifth, use anti-freeze mixture In
the radiator. Thirty per cent Of de-
natured alcohol will guard against
freezing at two degrees below zero;
a like percentage of wood alcohol and
glycerine will give protection at five
degrees below; so per cent of glyc-
crime alone will protect at zero.
while keeping the car In shape
for cold weather, 1t Is advisable to
remember that defects in safety fac
tors will continue to develop, and
that frequent checking and adjust
ments are necessary for safe driv-
ing"

Long debated has been the pro
posal that the President of the United
States should be restricted, by law
to but a single term of six years
duration.
Prime argument in favor of the
proposal Is that under present condt

to build political fences during the
first term in an effort to assure theil

GOVERNOR FAVORS RESTORA-
TION OF SALARY CUTS

Governor Nice in his message to
the Maryland Legislature, delivered
ON Wednesday, proposed numerous
improvements which, IL adopted,
would lead to greatly increased ex-
penditures for Maryland.
Continuation of the present system
of taxation to raise funds for relief,
and restoration of pay cuts for pub
lie school teachers and other State
employees, were recommended.
Governor Nice called the task fac
ing the Legislature one Of grave
seriousness, but at the same time
cited recent developments which have
brought about general betterment
of conditions.
Declaring for restoration of salary
cuts made throughout the State ser
vices during the years of the econom-
ic depression, the Governor pointed
out that the low salaries of State en-
ployes had forced many Of them to
leave the State service for private
employment, or even to go to other
States.
An increase of fifty men in the
personnel of the State police depart
ment was advocated by the Governor,
who declared that, while the present
system was doing we'll all that 1t was
called on to do under the law, 1t was
woefully Handicapped by lack of num-
bers.
Governor Nice also went on record
as favoring the establishment of a
system of permanent registration and
the use of voting machines through
out the entire State, declaring that
the two election reforms had done
great work in States where they had
been adopted. Such a system would
save $4,000 per election year in
Baltimore alone, he pointed out.
Special Taxes
Pointing to the series of special
commodity taxes enacted by the spec
ial session in March of 1896 to pro-
vide funds for emergency relief, the
Governor recommended their reten-
ton after they expire March 81.
He said:
with applications being received
daily for assistance under the cate
gories which have become recognized
as permanent parts of Maryland 8
governmental structure, provision
must be made to prevent recurrence
of the previous widespread destitu-
ton of the aged, the widowed moth
ers and their dependent children, the
blind and the physically handicapped
unemployables.
II recommend a continuation of
the taxes levied by you last year for
these agencies. The depression may
eventually completely pass, but there
are certain problems of underprivi-
lege and poverty always with US.
These permanent problems with
which the Board of State Aid and
Charities is endeavoring to cope ac-
cording to the latest demands, com.
bined with a very substantial general
relief problem which still faces US,
force us to the realization that the
present revenue must be continued
State Roads
No definite program for betterment
of the State roads system was laid
before the Legislature by Governor
Nice, who pointed out that commits
sion which he had named would pre-
sent such a program later.
