1T is GENERALLY regarded
= as fact by politicians that
during a national emergency the
American public shows even less
than normal interest in cleo
ton Of officials. An election
which, in normal times, has an
important place in newspapers,
on the radio and in the average
conversation, receives less than
secondary thought. The truth
of this statement
1912 might we'll be chal-
Elections lenged. It's accept
Important ance is based al
most entirely on
reasonable logic. Still there is
plenty of logic to support the
reverse. And we can well hope
that this year will see wider
interest in men and issues than
has been the case in recent
elections.
Some people have been gullible
enough to go so far as to sug-
gest that, if a way can be found
to avoid it, we should have no
elections this year-thus ex-
tending the tenure of office of
those now in power. Is there
any common sense in such a
suggestion?
Fact of the matter is that
1912 will prove to be A MOST
IMPORTANT ELEC TON
YEAR. People are beginning to
think of sacrifice for country
and show concern about the
future. Many are anxious about
their sons, brothers, husbands
and fathers in the armed forces.
These, if you please, are the
people who have not, in the
past, shown keen interest in
, politics. They will vote intelli-
gently and Independently. They
will vote for the type of men
who can best measure up to the
task which will face public men
for the next five years. They
will want to know about the
candidates sincerity and ability
to think straight. They will not
insist on party label. Less still
will they ask about fractional
adherence and loyalty.
In the primary and general
elections this year candidates
will be chosen and elected who
win exert a tremendous influence
on the future of our county,
State and nation. This is par
ticularly true of legislative can
didates whether they be sent to
the Congress or to the Legis-

force or may be secured direct from
the State Employment Commits
sioner.
Those interested in becoming
members of the Maryland State
Police Force should note carefully
that the closing date for receiving
applications is May FL, 1912.
Many men in the Counties and
Cities of the State will be inter-
ested in discussing the details of
this work before making applica-
ton and the suggestion is made
that those interested contact any
member of the Force either in the
Field or at Headquarters in the
Pikesville Armory, Pikesville. 7
Applicants must be not less
than 81 years of age and not more
than 30; must be at least 8 feet, 10
inches without shoes) with weight
in proportion to height and age
according to accepted standards.
Graduation from standard high
school, or its equivalent; general
knowledge Of criminal and civil
laws and procedures; and Of vehicle
traffic regulations is needed;
thorough knowledge Of the geogra-
ply of Maryland; ability to UNDER
stand and carry out written and
oral directions intelligently; abil-
ity to keep records and prepare
written reports; ability to operate
and care for motor vehicles; abil-
ity to function in an organization

teamwork; satisfactory general ana
social intelligence; good judgment
in dealing with the public; are
among the requirements.
Compensation for Troopers is
$500 per annum, with uniform
equipment and maintenance while
on duty.
It should be a great incentive to
young men who realize that there
they have an o. srtunity to act
ually participate lively in the
Internal Defense OF great State.
The work is not easy-it requires
being on duty twenty-four hours
and subject to call at all times,
even when on Annual or Depart
mental Leave, granted for compen-
sation for this type Of work. This
feature is one which appeals to the
young men of our State who are
periodically minded and who are
anxious to play part in the busy
days ahead. Even thought the pay
or income Of the State Trooper is
less than that offered by private
industry, in many instances there
are several features Of State
Police work Of value to the indi-
vidual.

agreements, but pointed out that these
"were obtained through our economic
strength"
I'VE will have no free enterprise
and no free trade union movement un-
less agreements are reached on Il vol

In Chicago, pattern makers in all

few of the manufacturing plants are
organized and are working under

Hourly rates of pay of S1.7O in the
jobbing shops and $1.5O in the manu-

history of the organization.

fore the economic stabiliZation order

This will simplify matters for the

will have to be presented to the Ma
tional War Labor Board for approval.
The organization, HallStrOm added
has waived double time pay for the
duration of the war. This was done
several months before such payments
were eliminated by executive order.
