Fox ILOGrE BONIVETT, Editor and Manager SATURDAY, NOV. 6, 1920. Th« charter went down and out. If you're got to use a hammer, build a hous*. Th« profiteer doesn't find sugar as sweet as it was. When building material comes down buildings will go up. Fall is indeed a charming season— especially when it includes prices. Gerntaay will be safe for Democracy when sb.e has junked all the junkers. The campaign orators will now be hunting1 jobs as auctioneers. At any rate an editor from Ohio was elected President. Debs, at least can affirm that the result was just what he expected. Just pretending to be rich keeps some people poor. The charter went where McGinty went—to the bottom of the sea. Some of the prices up on that peak are probably snow-bound. WILL HAVE TO SHARE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS WITH HARDING Governor calvin Coolidge, of Massachusetts, who was elected on Tuesday as Vice President of the United States 'AFTER THE STORM." Eugene Debs is the only presidential candidate who wears "service stripes." The dove of peace is providing too much bill and not enough coo. No! Willie Price doesn't concede defeat yet, as to the charter. A "red" sunset in Russia would be a promising weather forecast. It is hard to tell whether the war bled Italy—white or red. It looks as if woman's sphere will be the entire globe. About the only thing that will make gasoline drop is a leaky tank. Dessending prices, like falling stars, always seem to fall in gome other places. If the price of gasoline keeps on going up, It may be cheaper to buy shoes. A eonnterfeit $100 Federal Reserve bill Is out. Watch your change at the restaurant. Once upon a time folks considered a dry cellar a fine recommendation for a house—but now, oh my! Prices are coming down, but they are not skipping any rungs of the ladder like they did when going up. To judge from the amount of liquor released for medicinal purposes, Uncle Sam is the sickest man in the world. We are wondering if the Taxpayers' league will now stand for the domination of Price, Watson & Dietz. The man who shouts that all bosses should be sent to the junk pile means that he has a hankering to be boss. In these days you can't tell whether a hand reaching for a hip pocket is a .threat e-r a promise. We look for the question to come up at any time whether it is proper for a Democrat to marry a Republican. It nost be admitted that the new York police department has the most wonderful collection of clues in existence. The results of the election were so decisive in favor of the Republicans that it would seem futile to indulge in any post-mortem examination of the Democratic corpses to determine the "reasons why." The Republicans won, and so far as we are aware, fairly won the greatest popular election ever held in this country, and in the spirit of America The Jeffersonian extends its congratulations to the victors, and indulges the hope that they may be able to redeem their anet-election promises. It is evident that a great majority of the American people wanted a "change" in the administration of their national affairs, and now that the change has been wrought the responsibility rests squarely upon the Republican party to make good. So many "issues" were raised during the campaign that it is difficult to ascertain from the returns the real sentiment of America in regard to the League of Nations, but it will be interesting to watch the course of President Harding in relation thereto. Will he follow the advice of ex-President Taft, Elihu Root and others and join the League, or will he follow the advice of Senators Johnson, Borah and others and refuse to enter into any kind of an international relationship to preserve the future peace of the world? No matter which course he may pursue, the President-elect is bound to encounter opposition within his own party. If he is able to steer a middle course, and, draw to his support both the League advocates and "bitter-enders" in his own party, he will indeed have accomplished an executive coup d'eta that few American Presidents have ever been able to accomplish. While President Wilson is for the present down-and-out, physically as well as politically, we can not help but believe that when the history of his £ ^ministration comes to be written by in partial observers he will be given a place alongside the greatest American Presidents and among the foremost statesmen of the civilized world. His ideal of a League of Nations, with the Unied States as the leading member, may not be realized during his administration, but we venture to predict that it will be realized, sooner or later, because it is based upon the hopes and aspirations of civilized peoples the world over who want to put an end to human slaughter in the settlement of international disputes. The vote in Baltimore county had one surprising resu't, in that wher^a? Senator Smith won by 1091 votes, Con- gressman Benson lost by 696 votes. Both Senator Smith and Congressman Benson may retire to private life with the consciousness of public duty well done. Each has a record of which he may feel justly proud, during one of the most trying periods in the country's history. Their defeat at this time was due, we believe, more to the general desire on the part of the electorate for a change in the national administration, than on account of any failure on their part to do their duty in Congress. Some of the best Democratic representatives in Congress have fallen victims to the same trend in public opnion, notably Champ Clark, of Missourri, who for years had been Speaker and one of the outstanding figures in the House of Representatives. The defeat of the proposed county charter was, we believe, a victory for the real friends of good government in the county, Democrats and Repub- Security Salesman Wanted Good man in this locality who can assist in placing- Stock in a Producing- Tire and Rubber Co.

I VICTIM OF BURTAL ASSAULT SHORE ROBBED OF LIQUOR (Continued from Page 1, Col. 7.) had a big store of whiskey at his shore and that it was guarded by armed men. We planned to get it and sell it so we could have money when we got our discharges in a few weeks. "We were led by a man reputed to be a police officer, who was engaged in business near our camp. Pour of us left Camp Holabird before 2 P. M. on Monday and were taken to the shore. "We rushed the guards, took their pistols from them and struck one with a set of handcus. They were yellow to the core and showed no figh^. "We got ten barrels of whiskey and several hundred cases of bottled whiskey and we cursed because we had no more room in the truck to haul it away. We unloaded the whiskey in an abandoned barn several miles away just before dusk Monday afernoon. Nicholson is said to have made a confession to the police. According to the police, Nicholson and other members of the gang were offered thousands of dollars if they would reveal the hiding place of the whiskey. They are said to have refused. Nicholson, it is said was threatened with death if he revealed the hiding place. Tanner was wounded four times by machine gun fire in Prance and was chosen to act as a bodyguard to President Wilson when he visited Paris after the war.

Although badly injured, Baugher sjprang at his assailant and wrestled to secure possession of the revolver of the would-be assassin. He succeeded in getting the revolver, but not before the fifth and last bullet had ploughed a furrow in the third finger of his right hand. During the battle for possession of the gun the man grabbed Baugher's hat from his head and started to run. Baugher says that he followed the man to the main turnpike andx along Reis-terstown road for fully a mile before he was forced to give up because of weakness. Baugher did his best to stop the flow of blood from his wounds with his handkerchief, at the same time continuing his walk until he met a man who took him to the home of Dr. J. Frank Miller, on the Reisterstown road. Dr. Miller removed the bullet from the right temple of Baugher, and he was hustled to St. Joseph's Hospital. While he was awaiting removal to the hospital Patrolman Walters of Baltimore county came along and was called into the office of the physician. The Eureka Life Insurance Company BALTIMORE, MD.

Telephone, St. Paul 8375 OSOOOOi Baugher turned over the revolver he had wrested from his assailant in the hope that it might be a clue that would lead to his capture. What is remarkable is that the would-be assassin did not kill Baugher. The revolver with which the shooting was done was a 22-calibre weapon, but at the close range it could have killed. The one shot that nearly touched a vulnerable spot in the right temple left the bullet but slightly imbedded under the skin and was easily removed.
