Haile, Logie Bonnett Baltimore county may expect if a council is formed here. The worst kind of politics is played in the City Counil and but for certain political bosses, well intrenched, it would no doubt have been abolished years ago. Fortunately for the people of Baltimore City the council there has very little power, more of a veto power than anything else. In the proposed charter for Baltimore county the council is given practically unlimited power. Are the people of Baltimore county going to exchange their Commission form of government—simpl^, direct, government by Council, and General Manager? The great preponderance of sentiment among the ^oters at this time indicates that they are not. WOODLAWN. LOGIE BONNETT, Editor and Manager SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1920. BALTIMORE COUNTY. Baltimore County continues to grow. On Wednesday, the last day in June, 145 title papers were filed for record in the Clerk'st Office at Towson, which would indicate that despite the high prices, real estate is booming still. Developing companies throughout the suburbs are doing a thriving business, and if the present pace continues it will not be long before the county will have recovered* completely from the effects of annexation. The County Commissioners should not longer delay the appointment of a Trade. Commission, authorized by aii act of the last , legislature, to advertise the advantages of the county as the situs for manufacturing enterprises. While many such enterprises' have located within the county sjince annexation, there is room for many more, and it is believed that if a live-wire commission were named to point out the advantages of the county to outside capitalists a greater development of the county as a whole would result. There are two important factors that have contributed to Baltimore county's wonderful growth—one, fts sample, efficient, well - administered commission form of government, and the other, its comparatively low rate iof taxation. Voters in the county should bear this in mind before passing upon the proposed new charter in November. The form of government county's growth. At best, the new parture from what we now have, and if adopted may seriously retard the county's growth. At btst, the new form of government proposed-gives no assurance of improvement over the present form, and if adopted would increase the tax rate. The Jefferson-ian, after careful consideration of its provisions, can not s)ee wherein the charter, if adopted, would promote the county's growth or betterment in any way. On the other hand, it believes that the new form of government proposed would be 'more cumbersome;, expensive and inefficient. Such being our views, we respectfully urge the voters not to hazard the risk of retarding the county's growth by adopting the charter. Mr. J. B. Boblitts, of Baltimore, will speak to the Epworth League-'at Em-mart's Church* on Sunday. Mr. Henry Reiblich, Sr., is very ill with pneumonia. Dr. S. Nibbitt is the attending physician. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Reiblich are very proud of a young son. Mr. and Mrs. Milburn Mfillineaux are spending the week-end at Shady Side, We»t River. Miss Minnie Meekin and Mrs. Richard Mullineaux visited Mrs. Charlotte Smith on Sunday. The old barn on the farm of Mrs. Addie Meekins has been raised and a foundation put under it, making it into a modern bank barn. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS James Kelley, Attorney-at-Law, Towson, Md.

(Continued from Page 1) on ther back and nigh 'bout makes me swaller me false teeth. After git-ting my consciousness back, yer Uncle Jake turned 'bout face and durn if it was(h't Bert Ritchie, ther ancient ,and honorable, dignified and distinguished governor of ther 23 counties of Maryland, including Gobbler's Knob, and me and him had er long talk 'bout most everything. SIZZLING PRUNES! Them fellers from most any state 'n ;ther Union what was selected ter git ther platform5* ready was er hammering and nailing till late at night, and recken when it comes out it'll be strong nough fer ther old Demykrat donkey ter stand on. Bryan s yer ter fight anything and anybody what's opposed ter ther dryness of ther Junited States, and yerf Uncle Jake's done heard'that Doc Willful Woeful Davis is on his way out ter San Flambisco ter back ole Bill up- From ho,w indications' point how ther ancient and honorable JMickadob'll be nominated, but by heck yer never kin tell, cause er political convention's like er country base ball game—it's jest as liable ter end up in er row. JUDIUS PLUDIUS! When ther Tarn-.many delegation rived, San Flambisco was clean of its 'habitants, 'cause they was so tough that every durn time they spit they cracked er brick, and by go^h, they made more noise than all ther rest of ther seven-eights of ther convention. 'Tain't no use ar-guin, Tammany, is Tammany and ther ain't no gitting erway from ther fact. Ter git this er in ther hands of ther editor of ,,ther Jeff in time fer this yer issue yer Uncle Jake had ter send this by PerkePs Pos\t, with er couple dozen special delivery stamps on it in erdi-tion. Out in Cherkago when yer Uncle Jake 'tended ther Publican National Convention, that wasn't any more than er cheap vaudeville show, with durn poor entertainers at that, he done heard er lot 'bout dark horses, and it's ther same out yer,. but after investlgatiryjjvjjvery gol durn livery stable in SifiMFlambisco he ain't found er dark hon»T yet, and by heck I believe there ain't no truth in ther thing when some people sez if they can't git er candidate they'll elect er dark horse, Yer Uncle Jake knows er horse is intelligtnt, but what in the sam hill they want ter turn ther White House into' er stable fer is too gol durn intricate er problem fer yer Uncle Jake ter dig out. Ther boss'll be sort as the, devil wWen he gits this and didn't find out who's been nominated. He sez ter me before I left, "If they nominate er dark horse send it back promptly." Now, what yer Uncle Jake wants ter con-flumigate'is how kin I send/* him er dark horse if I can't find one. NEROE'S CARCUS! Yer Uncle Jake done heard so much 'bout ther town er New York being fast, why San Flambisco's got it chucked off ther map. Tuesday night yer Uncle Jake was er standing at Golden Gate alley and Shooten s(treet when er poor countryman what was standing- in ther middle of ther street was murdered in er most miraculous manner. Ther poor critter was gol durn bewildered; he was in ther middle of ther street, coming plum for him was- er fire engine, in ther back was er runaway horse, to ther right was er street car and to the left was coming hell-bent fer Sunday er ambulance; "when ther doomed yap looked up er flying machine contrapshun was er falling right on ter him and, acting quick, he saw a hole open in ther street and jumped in jest in time ter git runned over by er subway train. Take it from Uncle Jake, this yer San Flambisco is er dangerous village. THEORY THAT CHARTER FORM OF GOVERNMENT .WILL .SPELL DOOM OF POLITICS ALL BUNK. The entertainment 'which was held at Bellefield School on last Saturday night was quite a success. A very interesting play was given.

(Continued from Page 1) must realize that it is impossible to keep polities' out of such a council, no matter how elected. And in a governing body of fifteen men—each chosen to represent hid own district—there is certain to be more politics than in a governing body of three men, chosen to represent the county as a whole. The City Council of Baltimore City is a fair sample of what the people oi Mr. Herman Stevenson, while playing ball at Timonium last Sunday afternoon fell while sliding to base and badly fractured his right ankle.
