iff Edward Earl Coursey had a new
one recently. Mail arrived for pris-
oner before he had gotten into trouble
and had been arrested.
Hubert Forrest, negro, had come
back to Queen Anne's for a spell
while his wife was still in New Jer-
sey. On Saturday morning letter
for Forrest came from his wife adj
dressed to the Jail. By Saturday night
Forrest had gotten into trouble and
was brought to the jail to the sur
prise of Sheriff Coursey and Con-
stable Louis Perkins.
The Sheriff booked the negro and
before leading him to the cell block
remarked quietly, Forrest, here's
your mail. It got here first"
Since then Forrest has been freed
from Jail upon payment Of 81 and
costs for disorderly conduct. How
ever, a special delivery arrived for
him on Tuesday SO Sheriff Coursey
is expecting Forrest to be turned in
again any time.

THREE TROTTINC
RACES ON FOR
THE SHORE FAIR
To Mark The Return Of This
Popular Sport, After Alb
sence Of Several Years

Three Trotting Races of two out
of three heats each will be held on
Monday and Wednesday at the East
ern Shore Fair in Centerville, Sep
TENDER IL, IL, Is, and IA. It has been
announced by Guy E. Harmon and the
Executive Committee.
These races will mark the return
of this popular sport to the half mile
oval at Centreville after an absence of
several years, and generous purses
have been offered to the entrants.
Trotting is one Of the truly Ameri-
can sports and the trotter originates
in America. It is indeed fitting that
the directors include trotting races
in the program in the initial Eastern
Shore Fair. In years past some Of
the most famous trotters the sport has
known were bred and owned on the
Eastern Shore.
The industry of breeding trotting
horses has been brisk in recent years
and the Old Glory Sales, the annual
gathering of the trotting clans at
Thanksgiving have had the highest
averages in their history. The mar
ket for the breed is fast becoming
world wide and each year buyers from
France, Ireland, Holland, Italy, Swed-
en- and Denmark come to this country
to purchase some of our outstanding
animals.
The revival in public interest in
trotting reaches a climax each year
in August with the Hamiltonian
Stakes, which is witnessed by nearly
$4,000 people.
Most of the horses which will ap-
pear in the Eastern Shore Fair races
on September 18th and 18th will be
owned and driven by residents of the
Eastern Shore. These events should
be one of the outstanding features of
the Fair.

Defends Spending

We suffer from a great un-
employment of capital. Many
people have the idea that as a
nation we are overburdened
with debt and are spending
more than we can afford. That
is not so. Despite our Federal
Government expenditures the
entire debt of our national eco
nomic system, public and private
together, is no larger today than
it was in 1929, and the interest
thereon is far less than it was
in 1929.
The object is to put capital
private as well as public-to
work.
We want to get enough capital
and labor at work to give us a
total turnover of business, a
total national income of at least
eighty billion dollars a year. At
that figure we shall have a sub
Stantial reduction of unemploy-
ment; and the Federal revenues
will be sufficient to balance the
current level of cash expendi-
lures on the basis Of the exist
ing tax structure. That figure
The Washington times., 1939-01-04
Ne1U Opportunities

We are putting agriculture
our system of food and fiber
supply-on a sounder basis.
We are strengthening the
weakest spot in OUR system Of
industrial supply its long
smouldering labor difficulties
We have cleaned up our credit
system so that depoSitor and
investor alike may more readily
and willingly make their capital
available for peace or war.
We are giving to our youth
new opportunities for work and
education.
We have sustained the morale
of all the population by the
dignified recognition of our
obligations to the aged, the help
less and the needy.
Above all, we have made the
American people conscious of
their interrelationShip and their
interdependence. They sense a
common deStiny-and a COM
mon need of each other. Differ.
ences of occupation, geography,
race and religion no longer
obscure the nations funda-
mental unity in thought and in
action.
We have our difficulties,
true-but we are a wiser and a
tougher nation than we were
in 1929, or 1892.
Never have there been six
years of such far-flung internal
preparedness in our history.
And all this has been done
The Washington times., 1939-01-04
Sense of Dignity

Religion. by teaching man his
relationship to God, gives the
individual a sense of his own
dignity and teaches him to re-
Spect himself by respecting his
neighbors.
Democracy, the practice of
self-government, is a covenant
among free men to respect the
rights and liberties of their fel-
lows.
International good faith, a
sister of democracy, springs
from the will of civilized nations
of men to respect the rights and
liberties Of other nations of
men.
In a modern civilization, all
three-religion, democracy and
international good faith-com-
plement each other.
Where freedom of religion
has been attacked, the attack
has come from sources opposed
to democracy. Where de-
mocracy has been overthrown,
the spirit of free worship has
disappeared. And where re-
ligion and democracy have
vanished, good faith and reason
in international affairs have
given way to strident ambition
and brute force.
The Washington times., 1939-01-04
Idea Rejected

An ordering of society which
relegates religion, democracy
and good faith among nations
to the background can find no
place within it for the ideals of
the Prince of Peace. The
United States rejects such an
ordering, and retains its ancient
faith.
There comes a time in the
affairs of men when they must
prepare to defend not their
homes alone but the tenets of
faith and humanity on which
their churches, their govern
ments, and their very civiliza-
ton are founded. The defense
of religion, of democracy, and
Of good faith among nations is
all the same fight. To save one
we must now make up our minds
to save all.
We know what might happen
to us of the United States if the
new PHILOSOPHERS of force were
to encompass the other conti-
nents and invade our own. We,
no more than other nations, can
afford to be surrounded by the
enemies of our faith and our
humanity. Fortunate it is,
therefore, that in this Western
Hemisphere we have. under a
common ideal of democratic
government, a rich diversity of
resources and of peoples func-
tioning together in mutual re-
spect and peace.
