LEADERS AT ODDS
Measure Distasteful To G. 0. P. Faction lo House, Bills Slumber In Senate.
(From The Washington Correspondent of The Jeffersonian.)
The country has its attention fo-cussed on the railroad bill. Nearly seven months have passed since the President announced that he desired to return the roads to private owners and asked for legislation to enable him to do that properly.
"We are in no hurry," the Republican leaders said, "We will pass a bill during the first few weeks of the regular session. We have other things to engage our attention now."
That was the attitude of the Republicans in the extra session. The House, upon the suggestion of the Senate boss, passed the Esch bill. The Senate waited until this session to begin consideration of the Cummins measure-— an entirely different bill—and it is making little progress.
The paramount question in the Republican cloak-rooms was: "How quick can we get away fqr the Christmas holidays?"
The answer has been, "Whenever the railroad bill is passed by the Senate."
But it looks now as if the Senate could • not agree on a bill. The real troubles of the Republican party are now brewing. Senator Da Follette, of Wisconsin, the "Progressive" who swallowed much of his old-time anti-stand-pat hatred when the pie counter loomed large before the Senate Repbulicans, is now holding back on the party program. He threatens to overthrow his fellow Republicans by demanding concessions of labor. He is in constant communication with the men who are fighting the anti-strike provision of the Cummins bill.
The prediction frequently made early in this Congress that the Republicans would fall apart on the first real constructive measure presented is about to be fulfilled. It is to be demonstrated that water and oil will not- mix.
The Republican leaders of Congress are beginning to worry over their sorry (Continued on Page 3, Col. 2.)

YE GODS! HE'S INNOCENT.
A young Kansas town lawyer had been asked to defend a poverty-stricken tramp accused of stealing a watch. The lawyer pleaded with ardor, drawing a picture so pathetic that at the close of his arguments the judge was overcome and even the tramp was in tears. The jury deliberated a few minutes and then re-returned the verdict, "Not guitly."
Then the tramp drew himself up and turned to his lawyer.
"Sir," he said, "I have never heard so grand a plea. I have not eriefi since I was a child. I have no money with which to reward you, but"— drawing a package from the depths of his ragged clothes—"here's that watch; take it and welcome."

MEETING TUESDAY
Taxpayers' League Will Gather At
Court House In Towson
At 2 WP. IB.
The next regular meeting of the Taxpayers' League will be held next Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Court House at Towson, when officers for the ensuing year will be elected and matters of local legislation discussed. In view of B. John Black's election as a member of the Charter Board, and his expressed desire to be relieved, a new President of the League will be chosen. Just who he will be has not been indicated. There are apparently no avowed candidates in the field.
The Committee on Legislation, which at the last meeting made a number ot recommendations is expected to have a number of bills ready for submission, and, if approved by the league, these bills will be placed in the hands of the County Delegation at Annapolis,
The League is solid on the proposition to reduce the number of County Commissioners from five to three, but some difference of opinion has arisen as to whether the terms of the present Commissioners should be curtailed, and a nice legal question is involved as to whether this can be lawfully
done. The only precedent, so far as
is known, is the case of William H.
Brown and others, vs. Samuel Brooke
and others^ reported in Volume 95,
folio 738, of the Reports of Decisions
of the Court of Appeals of Maryland.

number, were duly elected County

"I want to know," said the grim-faced woman, "how much money my husband drew out of the bank last week."
"I cannot give you that information," answered the man in the cage.

"Yes. but I'm not the telling payer." ,
Yea, if they criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding.—Proverbs ii: 3.
POLITICS SHIFTED
People's Eyes Now Focussed Oo
Presidential Situation Rather
Than Local Affairs.
Political interest for the time being seems to have shifted from local to national affairs. This is presidential year and the leaders in both of the great political parties are jockeying for position. The people of Baltimore county will in a few months be given the opportunity to express their preference for the various candidates in the field, and in the meantime it would be well for them to give serious consideration to the issues and men involved.
The Democrats, at the threshold of the campaign, seem to have an advantage over the Republicans, in that greater party harmony prevails. The progressive element in the Democratic party appears to predominate, and the platform to be adopted by the party, as well as the candidate to be chosen, will undoubtedly be progressive. The Republican party, on the other hand, which is without a leader of national prominence, seems to be in a state of turmoil and uncertainty, with both the progressive and reactionary groups seeking, to regain control. The Democrats have another advantage over the Republicans, in that they are almost a unit in favoring the adoption of the treaty of peace, with the league of nations covenant, whereas the Republican party is hopelessly split over the treaty, some favoring its adoption with reservations and some its utter rejection. There is no mistaking the fact that the sentiment of the people of the (Continued on Page 6, Col. 1.)
^silLERS" FLAYED IN
VIGOROUS SPEECH AT WASHINGTON
Representative From Tennessee Exposes Unfair Tactics Of Critics Of
Administration—Speaker Shows Conclusively That
Attitude Of Opposition Is Traditional.
There are so many spee«h^ made upon the floor of the Houseio/Representatives at Washington tha£ few of them ever receive notice, writes the Washington correspondent of The Jeffersonian. With the coal strike, ajid treaty controversy and the railroad legislation to fuss w?jpi and the ."end of the world" to frighten folks, a good old-time, rough and tumble speech of the character that makes American politics appetizing passes into obscurity of'!he Congressional Record unless those who chance to hear it, spread the word that it is worth reading.
Such a speech has just been delivered by Representative Finis Garrett, of Tennessee, Democrat, whose remarks have attracted considerable attention first among business men, who resent the sweeping imputation and generalizations that just because they did business with the Government during the war they must necessarily have defrauded the Government, and second among Democrats, who have been smarting under the attack of their Republican colleagues concerning the conduct of the war and the attitude of some of their colleagues toward the health of President Wilson.
The occasion was the discussion of the report made by the. Republican majority of the committee investigating "The testimony taken before this subcommittee," explained Mr. Garrett at the outset, "covers two large volumes. Every case presents a purely legal question in itself. No man can pass judgment upon any one of those cases without hearing or reading all of the testimony that has been taken. Do we object to the facts coming out? No. Do we object to discussion? No. What we do object to is the opportunity of inferences to be cast out to the country predicted upon only a part of the testimony that has been taken.
"Eight business firms of this country are mentioned by name in the report filed by the majority of the committee, and it is followed with the statement that the settlement of these claims in
some of these cases, without specifying, 'seem to have been obviously tainted with fraud.' In h at respect are they tainted with fraud and whose fraud? Fraud upon the part of the negotiators of the government or fraud upon the part of the firms mentioned? I submit that it is an injustice of the (Continued on Page 6, Col. 1.)
