HAS IT EVER HAPPENED TO YOU?
It Has To Others
No doubt the citizens of Baltimore county who use automobiles and are compelled to wend their way into the city of Baltimore at some time or other, have come into contact with the ¦i'Parking Ordinance," which, in plain words, is a nuisance of the worst sort.
Little red marks on the curb, signs suspended from telegraph poles, signs artistically placed on pedestals and grum traffic copsj:—an add to th econfusion of finding a place to stand your car while attending to some important business or shopping. Judging from the placing of the "no parking" paraphernalia, they were just "chucked" around. It might be suggested that the City authorities prepare a chart that will wind up like a window shade on the windshield of a car, so that a motorist may ascertain "hia bearings" when in the "restricted zone."
There is every reason to believe that debt-burdened Baltimore will soon place a parking tax on every auto owner, for with the minor privilege tax a reality one might expect most anything.

ARMISTICE DAY.
Two years ago on Thursday last in Towson, as well as in other sect'ons of Baltimore county, and the nation, the glad news that hostilities) in the great war had ceased and that an armistice had been signed spread early in the day like wildfire, and as a consequence church bells tolled, fire bells rang unceasingly, whistles blew blast after blast, and all business activities suspended immediately. It was a glorious fall day, and it was made more pleasing by the glad tidings of peace.
It marked the inauguration of one of the days which will remain fixed in the minds of the present generation, which will stand out from all others, no matter what their significance.
It was a privilege to be alive on that memorable day, if only to recall ita wonderful thrills, its waves of unbounded joy, its realization of happiness and of hope. It was the long looked for day of jubilee, and it was more. It was the climax of years of unselfish sacrifice, of finer impulse, of realization and of Ideals. The dream of a new heaven and a new earth had come true.
Such a day can never be duplicated. There can be no second edition of it. Armistice Day will be a day treasured in our memory. It is the .indescribable day of a day that is dead, but its memory will forever be inspiring to those who were alive upon it, and who recall it.
War must be put in chains. If not because of the love for each other, then because of the love for ourselves. Good will toward themselves will hasten the exit of ill will, or the manifestation of ill will toward others.
Armistice Day will be a day which, as each year rolls by, the people will ask themselves whether they will ever consent to another such colossal sacrifice as was made to the God of war, Mars, glutted and surfeited wth blood and flamed with the lust of death and destruction. Much of history has slipped through the past two years, those since the perpetual Armistice Day—history of world reconstruction, of world fearsi and of social disturbances. This history constitutes a pledge to future generations that the cause of it all shall never be repeated.
The idealist program will vindicate iself as the best program for human comfort and happiness. And thot is the program that will appeal most forcibly even to the cold-blooded and selfish.
The material has succeeded the moral aspect since we danced and sang with joy and glee on Armistice Day two years ago. It awakeped the nations that nothing short of an international convulsion seemed able to awaken. Its costs in agony, treasure and sacrifice will not have been in vain if it serves as a preventative to future actions of the kind. The people of America do not want to go back to the days of luxurious and selfish living from which the great conflict aroused them but want to continue as a peace-loving nation and feel that they are living in a day when swords shall be beaten into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks, and nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
THEY DID RIGHT.
The County Commissioners during the week turned down the suggestion of Governor Ritchie that the police of Baltimore City be used to help break up recent acts of lawlessness in the vicinity of Back River. President Coghlan, in announcing the decision of the Board, said that the Commissioners felt the county force could cope with the situation, without outside assistance, and that the City force could And enough lawlessness at home to keep them busy if they would but do their duty.
The stand taken by the County Commissioner^ is generally commended. Baltimore county, through its police force, is, in the opinion of disinterested observers able to take care of the lawbreakers within its borders. It has always been able to do so in the past and there is no reason to believe it will not be able to do so in the future.1
The belief is well founded that the recent offer of the Governor to lend the assistance of the City police in suppressing alleged lawlessness at Back River is merely an effort on the part of Marshal Carter to divert public attention from the lamentable failure of his force to break up lawlessness in the City, particularly "boot-legging." In other words, that it is merely an effort upon the part of the Marshal to "drag a herring across the trail."
It is a fact well-known to hundreds' of county people that the prohibition laws are not being enforced by the City police, and their failure to do this is at the bottom of the recent disturbances in the county. Liquor can be bought in the city almost as freely as; it could before prohibition went into effect. The police know this, and yet they make no aparent effort to stop it. The town is full of boot-leggers, who ply the-r nefarious trade right under the eyes of the police with impunity. And yet the Governor, presumably at the instance of Marshal Carter, has the temerity to suggest that the City's expert law-enforcers (sic) be loaned to the county!
No, Governor, Baltimore county is capable of self-government today, as it always has been in the past, and it ican get along very well without a "mandatory" under Marshal Carter. Perhaps, Governor, it would be more to the point if you would give some consideration to the police situation in Baltimore City.
The recent offer from the City police to help the county authorities is but a repetition of similar offers made in pre-annexation days. Highlandtown and Canton, while they were within the limits of the county, were invariably pointed to by the city police as "dens of iniquity," and this was freely used as an argument why those sections of the county should be annexed to the city, so that the city police might give them a thorough house-cleaning and make them fit places for the abode
of civilized people. But Highland-town and Canton are today in no better condition, from the standpoint of law and order, than they were under county government. Conditions there have been worse, if anything.
Are the city authorities now using alleged condiions of lawlessness at Back River as an argument in favor of further annexation of county territory?
If the Baltimore City police could but do their full duty within the city there would be no lawlessness worth speaking of in the county. Most of the trouble caused in Baltimore county is by residents of the city. This has always been the case. Residents of the city, by reason of police inefficiency, can now get all the liquor they want from boot-leggers, and after, go ongrand "jamborees" into the county and make trouble. Remove the cause, in the city, and the effect in the county will be harmless.
Osborne I. Yellott, counsel to the Automobile Club, recently appeared before the City grand jury and made a scathing indictment of police inefficiency in the matter of auto thefts. Since that time he auto-theft scandal has been largely blotted out, but the personnel of the police force remains practically unchanged and the same Marshal and most of his "trusty" lieutenants are still on the job.
Has the Governor not heard of that rare piece of Scriptural advice against trying to find "mote" in "thy brother's" eye without first examining "thine own?" If he will but see to it that the City police force is thoroughly reorganized, with a fearless and efficient Marshal at its head, there will be no occasion for him to worry about Baltimore county.
