President Attends Birthday Horse Show

NJ RS. Roosevelt, as everyone knows, was
4VA going to ride her horse Dot in the Fort

instead because Dot bit lame However that has moth
ing to do with this story 1t that Dot being one of
these quiet retiring horses who utterly unused to excite

at Fort Mye They afraid she wouldn't react property
to the noise and excitement Of the show.
So-they held dress rehearsal for Dot. She was put
through all the pace officers stationed around and
appauded loudly that she might get used to the noise and
then because large bouquet of American beauty
be presented to Mrs Roosevelt last night they rehearsed
Dot by having of the officers present her dress
hearsa rider" with large and elegant bunch of carnations
Unhappy Dot acted like most youngsters who had
out for the first time and still bewderd by the whole

SENATOR CHALLENGES RIGHT
OF PRESIDENT TO ENTER
MARYLAND

President Roosevelt's right to in
wade Maryland with his New Deal
purge and to threaten the sovereign
ty of the state is challenged by
Senator Willard e. Tydings.
Marked for political death by the
White House, the Senator took the
air over statewide network and,
in reply to the Presidents demand
for his removal from the Senate,
called upon Marylanders to stand
fast to their traditions and repel the
invasion at the ballet box.
Every radio station in the state
and one in Washington was engaged
for the broadcast.
The Senator said his fight for re-
nomination is not one against can
didate, but one in which the whole
weight of the Federal Government
is pitted against him at the direction
of the President and his advisers.

OLD AGE FUNDS ARE SAFE

About 700 million dollars has
been paid. into the Governments old
age pension account From this fund
about million dollars has been
paid out to pensioners.
The Government puts all the in
come from this source into the gen.
eral fund and gives 80 notes pay
able to the "Old Age Reserve Ac-
count. This runs UP the blood
pressure of a lot of people who
seem to think that the old-age PEN
sion money is being misappropri-
ated.
Likely any one Of those uneasy
critics would like to own some-or-
more 80 Government bonds. And
they would consider them as good
as money. They would be protected
exactly the same way that the old
age fund is safeguarded.
As long as the U. S. Treasury re-
mains solvent-and it will be as
long as you are alive-the sold age
reserve account" will not be en-
dangered under the present Federal
system. So don't get wrinkles in the
forehead worrying about that.

SOCIAL SECURITY ACT THREE
YEARS OLD

The Social Security Act, regarded
by the Roosevelt Administration as
one of its prime assets, was three
years old on August IA.
Probably the most comprehensive
review of the three years of the act
was one issued by Arthur ]. Alt
meyer, chairman of the Board. Mr..
Altmeyer poined out that unemploy-
ment compensation laws now are in
effect in every state and that more
than 27,50O,0O0 workers have earn
ed credits toward unemployment
benefits.
During the first six months of
1898, some 100000 unemployed
workers received $1SO,000,0O0 in
benefits, he said, and on the basis
of past experience and immediate
prospects, he estimated that the
total unemployment benefits this
year will range between $375,O00,-
900 and $4O0,00O,O00.
Under the old-age insurance sec
ton of the act, Mr.. Altmeyer con-
tinued, more than 100000 work.
ers' applications for accounts have
been received. This covers, he noted,
the 'vast majority" of American
wage earners.
The three public-assistance pro-
grams handled by the board-aid
to the aged, the blind and depen-
dent children-are participated in by
at least 100000 individuals, he
said.
Continuing, Mr.. Altmeyer said:
Unemployment compensation was
designed to help the temporarily un-
employed maintain his buying pow
err; and it is doing so. There can
be no question that $1S0,00O,00
going out in benefits in the last six
months has forestalled substantial
increases in relief that might other
wise have been necessitated.
collage insurance was designed
to offer a method whereby wage
earners could build up for them
selves a regular retirement income
and it is doing SO. Through Their
own work and with the full strength
of the United States Government
behind them, the workers now GOV
cred by this system are assured that
they will get their old-age insurance
money when it is due them.
"And so with the other provisions
of the act-each is fulfilling its in
tended purpose. That is not to say
that there have been no problems
There have been-and are prob
lens of administration. There are
and will be-comple0 issues of
financing"

WAR GERMS BRED BY POVERTY
AND UNEMPLOYMENT

Congressman Tom Amilie of Wis
consin last week called upon the
American people to consider the
ways and means OF staying out of
war, for" he declared, modern
war destroys what it touches beyond
the hope of rehabilitation"
A leader in the House liberal bloc
and one of the Congressman who in
the last session was in the forefront
of the fight to let the people them
selves vote before the United States
could declare a war abroad, Con-
gresham Amlie maintains that
strengthening democratic processes
of government Is fundamental to
the prevention of war.
"The aggression of the Fascist
countries has shown that war is to-
day, even more openly than it has
always been, generated out of do
nestle economic problems left too
long unsolved," he went on to say,
and mass unemployment, unrest
grinding poverty-these things turn
OuCG utuOCidtiC COuhtIy lhIO q
breeding ground for dictatorship.
The dictator, faced by the same eco
nomic problems that puts him into
power, turns to war as his way of
turning poverty into patriotic vir-
tue, and make soldiers out of the
unemployed.
The Wisconsin legislator voiced
his belief that "our economic prob
lens can be solved democratically
and with the preservation of peace"
but he cautioned that "if they are
to be solved democratically, it will
only be by allowing the federal gov
eminent to take the lead in plan
ming an expansion of industrial pro-
duction to absorb our unemployed in
useful, productive labor, and in so
doing raise the standard of living
of all our people"

Taxation Will Increase

The expenses of the Government
have raised the national debt to its
highest peak. Under such conditions
it is idle folly to expect any forth
coming Congress to revise taxation
downward and furnish business re-
lief" in that way. Government bus
mess is like that of private business
when expenses go up provision has
to be made to get in enough money
so that the Government will eventu-
ally get out of the red. There is no
hope that budgets will be balanced
for many years nor is there any
hope that taxes will be lightened.
Because that is SO, the Govern
ment has gone into tending money
on tremendous scale. That kind of
bookkeeping makes the national
debt look smaller.

REMEMBER THEY WILL HAVE
no BE VACCINATED

Don't forget your youngster will
have to be vaccinated against small
pox before he or she can be en-
rolled in any public school in Mary
land. Have it attended to without
any delay, If it has not already been
DONE, is the advice of DR.. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health to parents of chill
dren who have reached school age
this year and who will start to
school this fall.
"Our Maryland law" DR.. Riley
continued requires every child to
be vaccinated against smallpox be-
fore he or she can be enrolled in any
public school in the State. Physicians
are expected to vaccinate all babies
under their care before the children
are a year old. Until the children are
of school age, the responsibility for
having it done rests with the par
ents. After that it is shared by the
teachers and other school author
tiles. Any teacher, school trustee or
commissioner of a public school who
admits child who has not been
successfully vaccinated against
smallpox is liable to a. fine of $1,000.
Smallpox is very contagious.
Anybody who has not been protected
against it is likely to contract the
disease If exposed to- it. 1t is much
more prevalent than any one is like
ly to realize who does not keep in
touch with health and sickness con-
ditions in other parts of the country.
The only way to avoid having the
disease is through vaccination.
"We have had only two cases of
smallpox in Maryland in the last
eight years, one in 1881 and the
other in 1885. Our slate is clean
and unblemished for 1890, 1882,
1898, 1894. 1886, 1887 and up to
the present for 1898.
"There is very different picture
in other parts of the country. The
weekly reports of the United States
Public Health Service show that
over twelve thousand persons, in
various parts of the United States,
have had smallpox in the last seven
months-from January / to July 81,
1898. This was nearly five thousand
more cases than we're reported dur
ing the corresponding period of
1887. Over half the states in the
Union, were represented in these
totals. The majority of the cases
occurred, of course, in states in
which vaccination is not compulsory.
sour Maryland vaccination laws
were enacted in 1854 and our free
dom from the disease is due to care
full observance of the requirements.
We rarely have to enforce the
smallpox laws because parents, as
rule, or others for whom vaccination
may be required, cooperate very
willingly with the health authorit
les in having it done. But parents
sometimes put off having it done.
Consequently great many children
have not vacaccinated against small
pox, checked up against them on
the health conference records.
parents whose children have not
been protected against smallpox
should go to their family doctor and
have it done at once.
