Haile, Logle Bonnett LOGIE BONNETT, Editor and Manager SATURDAY, SEPT. 11, 1920 For President james m: cox. For Vice-President FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. For United Sta*es Senate . JOHN WALTER SMITH. For Congressman CARVILLE D. BENSON. Send Benson back tbi Congress. He has been tried and proven worthy. Prison terms—not fines, should be the punishment for profiteers. The worst of all public robbers are the coal and food profiteers. One way to get even with the coal man is to spend the winter in California. Public wrath should assert itself upon strike agitators and trouble breeders. ' We're hoping that the 20th amendment will have something to .do with protecting the rights of mere men. If labor were only similiarly enthusiastic over the labor day of every week, how happy the boss would be. Don't lose Slight of the fact that Harding is the "hand picked" candidate of the Republican bosses. Every good Democrat should welcome the final victory of woman suffrage with open arms. Are the pebple of Baltimore county going to allow Price, Watson & Dietz (limited) to run the municipality? By voting for the adoption of the new charter this fall you will not be casting a vote for progress, but casting one for disaster. Reckless driving of automobiles and motorcycles is very evident on the highways of this county, yet very few of them appear to go to jail. Indications' point to the fact that the women voters are going to support Carville D. Benson for' Congress. This is.sane and sensible on their part. The Non-Partisan Committee of the American Federation of Labor hasi compiled a report on Senator Harding's record in the United States Senate on labor questions. This report shows that there have been introduced in the Senate during Senator Harding's tenure of office twenty-seven measures of special interest to labor. On only seven of these measures was hist vote favorable to labor; on ten he voted unfavorably to labor; once he was paired unfavorably; and in nine instances he is recorded as "not voting." One of the most significant signs of the campaign is found in the letters newspapers print from the readers which slhow a general trend of independent sentiment toward Cox and Roosevelt, but no independent Democratic sentiment toward Harding and Coolidge. Every day the Democratic papers contain letters from readers' announcing that they are Republicans but intend to vote for Governor Cox and Mr. Roosevelt, and similar letters frequently appear in Republican newspapers, which probably receive many more of the kind than they print. JOHN HUBNER AND THOMAS W. OFFUTT. "Senator Haraing is not a whirling dervish," asserts Senator New. He certainly is not. Now, that that is settled, what is he? WeTare sorry that the cartoon which, appeared in the last isisue of The Jef-fersonian "got under the hide" of Mr. Price—far be it from us, to hurt even a child's feelings. No doubt if the charter is adopted, the radical army, headed by Price, Watson & Dietz, will victoriously enter the court house and assume "military" jurisdiction over the county's affairs. It is essential that every woman in Baltimore county register, so that they may vote, and they must remember it is necessary for them to exercise their right of franchise. Price, Watson & Dietz, (limited) held a "stockholders'" meeting on Tuesday evening last. About 75 of the 700 alleged "stockholders" attended. Since the last issue of The JeffersOn-ian the grim reaper, Death, has removed from the public life of Baltimore county two of its most prominent and useful 'citizens, former State Senator John Hubner, of Catonsville, and Thomas W. Offutt, president of the Second National Bank, of Towson. Senator Hubner was at the time of his death in his eightieth year, and had spent the best years of his life in the service of his county and State. He served the county with distinction at two sessions of the Maryland House of Delegates, of which he was for a time the speaker, and also at four sessions of the Maryland Senate, of which he was for a time the President. He always took a lively interest in 4the public affairs of the county and used his influence for the good of the people. He served many years, without compensation, on a number of important State and county boards, and was a director of the Springfield State Hospital from the time of its> origination until his death. He was also prominently connected with a number of private financial and business enterprises, including the Maryland Casualty Company and the Catonsville National Bank. Senator Hubner was a genteman of the old school, courteous and obliging, and during a well-spent life earned the affectionate regard and esteem of a large circle of friends' throughout the State, who deeply mourn his loss. Mr. Offutt died a comparatively young man,. at the age of 52, and although he never held public office he took an active part in the public affairs of the county and was an influence for good. Starting out in life in comparatively poor financial circumstances, he applied himself earnestly and energetically to the tasks ahead of him, and at the time of his death had amassed a comfortable fortune. He was, for a number of years the active head • of the Mt. Washington Electric Light & Power Company and was from the time of its organization the President of the Second National Bank of Towson, both of which institutions, under his capable management achieved marked success. , "Tom" Offutt," as he was more familiarly known among his friends and associates at Towson, always took an active interest in the upbuilding of the town, and a number of public improvements have in recent years been accomplished largely by reason of his perseverence and generosity. Personally he was a likeable man, affable and fobliging, fond of sports, and a stickler for the "square deal" in all his relations with his fellowmen. The Jeffersonian extends its condolences to the bereaved families of each of the departed who, by their useful and exemplary lives, helpd in many way to advance the welfare of the people of Baltimore county.

It is said Senator Harding drove a race horse around the track at^a State fair in the West. In the Presidential race Senator Harding is between the shafts, with Boss Penrose driving. Mark your X on the ballot in November opposite the name of Carville D. Benson. You'll make no mistake— he'll represent the Second Congressional District at Washington in a conscientious manner. —I------------------- Mr. Wm. R. Price, secretary of the Taxpavers' League, We understand, did not like his picture mounted upon a horse in the last issue of The Jeffer-sjonian. Keep up courage, friend, we'll try to do better next time. Have we not seen too much of what radicalism is doing in the old world to support the move of the radicals here at home, who are advocating a change in the present and efficient form of government? i Thanks to Tennessee, the women of Vermont and Connecticut can now express their opinions at the ballot box of the administrations that refused to allow the elected representatives of the people in their legislatures to vote upon suffrage. That Baltimore county will have a dual government if the new charter is adopted, there seems not the slightest doubt. Surely the people will not sanction a scheme such as the new charter, which would create such a condtion. Blakeney may be a good fellow, according to the Republicans, but the people of the Second Congressional District do not want a good fellow like Mayor Broening of Baltimore City to represent them in the halls of Congress. One of the finest tributes ever paid to the labor record of Governor Cox was that a Pennsylvania miner, who in a strike escaped across the State line into Ohio and said: "Pennsylvania is Siberia; Ohio is America."/ The Governor of Ohio, then agi now, was James M. Cox, who settled all Ohio strikes without calling out a soldier or firing a shot. Senator Harding has at last said something that is bold, fearless, clear as a bell and which cannot be successfully disputed. Evidently without consultation with Chairman Hays, or Senator Penrose, or the campaign committee, he comes right out and in tones that carry conviction to the mind and a thrill to the heart declares): "The history of civilization is a very interesting story." Why should the Republican leaders pretend to be shocked by Governor Cox's charge that they are raising an enormous campaign fund to buy the Presidency? They were not shocked when Senator Newberry was convicted and sentenced to ten yearsi in the penitentiary on the charge of spending a fortune in his campaign; they neither asked him to resign from nor threw him out of the Senate. -They were not shocked at the millions spent in the primary campaigns of General Wood and Governor Lowden, but this latter was a moral and not a legal offense. Only when the offense charged might come within the province of the criminal courts do they seem to display a , pretense of resentment. What has become of the claim that the G.. O. P. is "the party of great moral ideas"? MRS. BUSSEY SANE (Continued from Page 1, Col. 4.) been inflicted by her daughter in a recent fracas. On another occasion, she said, Mr. Seidewitz attacked her and forcibly looked her in a bedroom, at the instigation of his wife, and she thereupon swore out a warrant for his arrest before Justice Butler at Towson. While the case had its tragic features, it also developed some very humorous situations, particularly when Miss Lillian Lancaster, a very beautiful girl from New York, was on the stand. Miss Lancaster, accrding .to Mrs. Bussey, "-did not like to sleep alone," and counsel for Mrs. Bussey frequently made sarcastic reference to this feature of the* testimony. Miss Lancaster was also placed in an embarrassing light when it was testified that recently on account of illness she was obliged to remain in the Bussey home at Cockeysville all day, and late into the night in company with Mr. Seidewitz'sl brother, who acted as her nurse. Miss Lancaster testified that Mrs. Busisey had helped herself to her facial powders and cosmetics, but the latter during the trial showed no indication of ever having used such things, while the former did. It appeared from the testimony that Mr. Seidewitz had frequently "performed" on the piano. Mrs. Bussey, who is herself an expert musician, having got her early training in Dresden, was asked to express her opinion \of his "music." "Well," she said, with a twinkle in her eyes, "I suppose he thinks he can play, but I don't. He makes a noise, that's all." This brought out considerabe laughter at Mr. Seidewitz's expense. In their closing arguments to the jury counsel for Mrs. Bussey scathingly denounced Mrs. Seidewitz on account of her treatment of her mother, Mr. Yellott having referred to her as| a "vampire." Some years ago, it developed, from the testimony, Mrs. Seidewitz in a movie contest conducted under the auspices of the Baltimore News, was pronounced "the prettiest girl in Baltimore." In commenting upon this Mr. Piper, in his closing argument, sarcastically suggested that most of the pretty girls of Baltimore must have been "out of town" when the contest was conducted, or else the ballot box was "stuffed." This brought out a wild demonstration on the part of Mrs. Bus.ltey's friends in the courtroom, which the Sheriff had difficulty in quelling. Mrs. Bussey was visibly affected ¦when the jury's verdict was pronounced and attempted to embrace her counsel. She soon recovered her composure, however, and shook the hand of each juror, and received the felicitations of her numerous friends from Cockeysville and elsewhere who had patiently awaited the end of the trial, Mrs. Seidewitz, on the other hand, appeared to be without a single sympathizer. Attorney John E. !\>feers represented Mrs. Seidewitz during the trial, while Attorneys Osborne I. Yellott, A. A. Piper, L. O. Machin and Elmer R. Haile, without compensation, defended Mrs. Busspy. The expenses of the trial which, it is said, amount to nearly $300 will, as a result of the verdict, fall upon Mrs Seidewitz. The Eureka Life Insurance Company BALTIMORE, MD.

Reading matter and -nickels were alike scarce on the Butler county, Ohio farm on which "Jimmy" Cox, the Democratic Presidential candidate, spent his early years. There were a few literary standbys, of course—the Bible, a History of the United States, an almanac or two, Dr. Chase's Receipt Book and a volume of helpful sermons—but they were digested early. Somehow, they sieemed to lack the pep the boy's palate demanded. No one else cared particularly whether there was war in Europe, or whether the Goosebone Prophet had ascertained definitely the date cm which the world was to come to an end. But Cox wanted to knew. GOV. JAMES M. COX, OF OHIO.

North Avenue and Oak St. BALTIMORE, MD The town had not risen to the height of a combined news-cigar-and-corifec-tionery stand. But several old settlers siibbcribed for the weekly copy and saved it for the boy. The a he walked home with his prize, and each night, until the sleep of tired boyhood overcame him, he read it by candle light after the chores were done. It was at this time that he became ihe janitor both of the church in which his xafnily worshipped and of the school in which» he was taught during the short school year of a rural community. For the one he was paid 35 cents a week • and for the other 25 cents. The old church was surrounded by the toppling tombstones which marked the resting-places of those who had gone to their reward, and in those days all boys and many elders believed firmly in ghosts. The fact that an early settler had lived an exemplary life, uncomplicated by hard cider or election clay violence, did not operate to keep his uneasy spirit where it belonged after dark. "Jimmy used to be mighty s)cairt," said one of his friends. "We didn't know it then. We always thought that he was foolishly, insanely courageous to dare those shades. of meeting night. It was long afterward before I found out that he was just as afraid as any of the rest of us. But he always got to the church first, and had the lamps on and the Are lighted, before the churchgoers appeared on the early winter nights." The governor himself seems, sometimes, to have failed to understand himself during those early days. He rarely speaks of them, but in a moment' of expansion, he once gave a friend a picture of the little, frightened, tired boy, hands calloused from the work of the farm, his shoulders KZpiAi Money bade withmit question if HUNT'S Salvo falls in the treatment of ITCH, ECZEMA, RINGWORM, TETTER or ether itching skin diseases.

But he went on. "I do not know why I did it," he said. "I cannot understand it now. I did not hSve any conscious ambition, of course—any more than any other tired boy who knows nothing except the farm and) the day's work has-*— but something inside kept forcing me on." As a student he was remarkable for application rather than for brilr liancy. He bulldogged his way through his lessons. When he did not' know he asked questions of the teacher. Others were content to "get by," but Cox had a share of that ability to concentrate and "plug" that marks him today.
