Published every Saturday at Towion, Baltimore County, Maryland, by The Baltimore County Jeffersonian Publishing- Company, Incorporated. OFFICERS. W. Gfll Smith Blmer R. Haile, President. Secretary. William J. Peach, Vice-President and Treasurer. BOARD OF DIRECTORS John M.Dennis W. Gill Smith, •Oarville D. Benson. Elmer R. Haile, William J. Peacb, Losrie Bonnett Charles J. Fox L.OGIK BONNETT, Editor and Hanager SATURDAY, DEO. 25, 1920. Well folks, how did old Santa treat you? Threats of blue laws are making some people red. Mr. Hoover is now appealing for a League of Rations. New Year's resolutions are like pie crust—easily broken. Everybody seems to be listening for the chimes of normalcy. Reformers seem bent on making the Sabbath a day of "arrest.* The Yanks are tbout to wind up their "watch on the Rhine." Christmas will soon be over; then comes the horrid income tax. The Lord won't recognize His day when they get through with it. Santa was no doubt surprised to find nothing but wool stockings. Every time the Greek King goes out he meets himself coming back. Uncle Sam tells the world that he does not intend to be done in oils. Where in the deuce will a girl get vaccinated now so that it won't show? The man who invented cigarettes must have gotten his idea from a polecat. Armenia is asking for General Wood. Maybe Armenia will be luckier than America. Let's start the New Year right, Mr. Commissioners. Appoint that Factory Site Commission. Prices are now being regulated by the new economic law of over supply and under-demand. "We must trim our sales," declares a wholesaler. Very well, if there is nothing else to trim. The New Year's resolution of the County Commissioners will be efficiency and economy. A New York man was beaten and robbed by thugs in Pittsburg. It must have made him homesick. The first real talking machine, in which no improvement has ever been made, was made out of a rib. An American states there is little looting in Petrograd. Probably because there is little left to loot. It seems that the laws have been fixed so that a coal baron can be made to do almost anything he desires. The drastic changes needed in our machinery of public protection and law enforcement must come through deeply aroused public morale, and this: can be insured only by organized effort of all the agencies of decent living, civic reform, business and community betterment. In Baltimore City, our next-door neighbor, there is entirely too much crime going on, and it coming right on top of the offer of Governor Ritchie to send the City police to Baltimore county to check a much exaggerated wave of bootlegging proves conclusively that the Baltimore City police are needed at home, and even then they seem unable to cope -with the situation. The most energetic members of the bench and of the council jand of the law are more than willing to do their utmost to check the wave of crime that is sweeping in this community, but they must be joined by the. churches and by all civic associations, which together, may concentrate such pressure upon the centers of government and law agencies that the influences of organized vice and crime and their allies -will be overwhelmed. If the people are to crush this ugly combination It must be by combination. They must meet organization and system -with organization and system. There is one automobile for every fourteen people in the United States, and the fourteen people are always in the wa.v of the automobiles at street intersections. The Prussian Parliament proposes to give the former Kaiser about $235,-000,000. This is one of the necessary expenses that makes it absolutely impossible to pay the indemnity demanded by the Allies. Delegates to the League of Nations Convention in Geneva, are meeting in the Hall of Reformation. This ought to be one argument in favor of admitting Germany. The roads of Baltimore county seem to be "the bone of contention." Something sjhould be done by those in authority to again plac*e confidence in the highways department. It wasn't necessary to revoke the Volstead law to curb home brew. The work would have been done just as well by the law against the indiscriminate manufacture of explosives A hold-up man in a western city the other day, after relieving a prosperous citizen of his roll, amounting to $500, handed back $20 for "incidentals." There's the real difference between a hold-up man and a profiteer. We note that following the inauguration of President Harding there will be fire-works. Yes;! Plenty of them for the Republicans, and they will last all during the four years of their administration. The man who wrote that letter which appeared in "The Forum" of the Baltimore Sun recently, concerning the Baltimore County Almshouse, was either full of "hootch" when he penned it or gotten it confused with Bay View, the city's poor-house. Perhaps the Shipping Board paid bills twice because they thought it the nautical way—pay fore and aft. A Chicago man is making $25 a month and just got married. He claims that he couldn't live on that. Once upon a time we used to get half fare on the railroads occassionally —now we get it in the restaurants. With the revision of prices a house-owner can now fill his furnace with coal for about the cost of the furnace. How would it do to amend the immigration laws so that every newcomer be required to bring a house with him. There's a lot of complaining, there's doubt and there's gloom since the Spunky consumer declines to consume. The way to pay the expenses of the country for the next four years is to lay a tax on applications for Federal offices. Those excited persons who are determined to save the country could make an excellent start by saving their breath. Honest criticism is constructive, not destructive. Big men appreciate it as such, while the "lttle fellow" always takes offense. An Indianapolis newspaper man says that an underwriter is needed for the Dempsey-Carpenter fight. Doesn't he mean an undertaker. The definition of a mad world is one which some urge increased production while others close down mills on the excuse of over-production. We don't need to enact any blue laws. There would be more sense in the enforcement of the Red, White and Blue laws we already have. It is remarkable that the profiteers bother with preying on us poor consumers when they had the Shipping Board for a field of operations. The great heart of America cannot escape the obligation to provide Europe with coal—not while Europe offers four times what it is worth. Cumberland boasts of having secured many new industries during 1920. Baltimore county has the same opportunity if it would but awaken to the fact. If Towson showed a bit more community sspirit and the various sets of people who make their abode here "come down to earth" and brush the cobwebs of high-browness from their eyes, this would be a much better place in which to live. Those farmers if Baltimore county who endanger their own lives as well as the lives of others by not having a light on their horse-drawn vehicles had "better set up and take notice, for a vigorous war will be waged on thosje who ignore the law compelling them to carry lights. What should be done with the vast funds in the hands of the committee to erect a memorial to Baltimore county's soldier boys, is to throw it into the funds being raised by the American Legion here with which to erect a memorial hall. The place for bronze crosses and marble shafts is in graveyards, and not on the public squares. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODY. The Jefferson'an, at this season, wishes; each and everyone of its readers—young, old and 'twixt and between —a .genuine, old-fashioned, dyed-in-the-wool, one-hundred per-cent, A-number-one, Merry Christmas! Adjectives are impotent to describe the fullness of our good will. It is we'l that Christmas comes once a year. It helps us to forget ourselves, and to think of others. And the more we think of others, and the less we think of ourselves, the greater the joy we get out of life. This Christmas season finds all the people of Baltimore county, generally speaking, happy and contented. They have been fairly prosperous during the year, their general health has been good, and peace and good will has prevailed. The supply of turkey, cranberries, oysters, fruits, cakes, candies and the ninety and nine other good things which are sacrificed at the Yuletide season in celebration of "peace on earth, good will toward men" seems to be sufficient to go round, and we hope no one will be slighted. The Baltimore County Children's Aid Society deserves to be specially commended for the good work they have done among the poor. Their headquarters at the Piper Building, Towson, have during the week served as a clearing-house for boxes and baskets of all kinds of good and useful things, contributed by big hearted people from all over the county, which will go into the homes of .the needy and make Christmas seem more real. Again, we extend our best wishes to everyone, and invite everybody to drop in at our office during the holidays and take a look at our Christmas display.

The Jeffersonian extends to Mr. William J. Peach, Register of Wills of Baltimore County, and his children, its sincere sympathy in this their hour of sorrow and bereavement. Mrs. Peach, the devoted wife and mother, passed quietly on to the "Undiscovered Country' Monday evening, thus leaving a vacant chair in the home at Granite which will make this. Christmas season seem strangely unlike others which have been celebrated there during the many years she was in the family circle. Mrs. Peach was a good and useful woman and we think we can appreciate, to some extent at least, the deep loss which her surviving husband and children have Sustained in her untimely departure. May the Heavenly Father, Who willed that she should go, sustain and comfort those whom she has left behind. RESEMBLED EXCHANGE Parkway—High Class Moving New Theatre-Pictures. B^^^ Palace—Burlesque. Gayety—Burlesque. WANTS ROAD IMPROVED Delegation From Seventh District Waits On Baltimore County Commissioners. On Tuesday last the County Commissioners began a three-day session to hear requests for the improvement of roads, and to arrange plans for road work. As a consequence, a delegation from the Seventh district, headed by Mr. Clarence M. Hoshall, filed a petition asking that a mile of the Graystone road be improved. There was also a delegation from the 15th District requesting the improvement of Mace avenue; one from Walker avenue, askng that a half mile be improved, they pledging $1000 toward the work. The Fifth district sent a large delegation to ask that 2 miles of the Hereford road be improved under State and Federal aid. Mr. D. Fred Sham-berger was the spokesman. There was a delegation also before the Commissioners from the Sixth district, headed by Mr. P. A. Cross, asking that Molesworth and Spook's Hill roads be improved. Mr. Heiser and Mr. Fenwick represented residents of the Fourth and Eighth districts, requesting that roads in those districts be repaired. Mr. Frank Bonsall asked that the Jarrettsville Pike be repaired. Many Deserving Children And Needy Grown-Ups Helped By Children's Aid Society. That a great number of children and needy grown folks had a merry Christmas when oherwise they might not of had was best exidenced by those who got a glimpse of the office of the Baltimore County Children's Aid Society, in the Piper Building at Towson, the latter part of this week. The hall outside resembled a large produce exchange, for there were barrels, boxes and sacks containing vegetables and fruits and many bundles of candies, while in the office proper women were busily engaged iri assorting and packing clothing, which was distributed Chrisitmas Eve to the poor unfortunates. -----------*----------- Wm. Hummel, of York, Pa., has purchased a half interest in the bull Sophias St. Mose, for $25,000; the other half interest is owned by G. M. Thompson, of Belair. CRIMINAL DOCKET JAN. 10 Trial Of Cases Will Conclude On The 26th; 37 In All, None Of Which Are For Murder. The Criminal Docket for the December term of he Circui Court for Baltimore county has been prepared by State's Attorney H. C. Jenifer, and will begin on January 10th, concluding on the 26th. Thirty-seven cases are to be tried, which is by far the largest number of criminal cases to be tried for some time in the Court at Towson, but there are none for murder. UPPER PALLS. The shopping days are over; Christmas is here. We wish a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all the friends of The Jeffersonian. Mr. Edward Donaldson and family spent last Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Monmonier. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Baldwin spent last Sunday with friends here. Master Francis Shumaker left last Increase Your Income A plot of good land, a small business, or some sound investment probably would bring in enough money to let you be your own boss. The man with a bank account is the man who is ready when a good chance to "get away from the grind" comes along. Second National Bank of Towson GLE1VARM. Mrs. Edward Roberts is very ill at a Baltimore hospital. Her friends wish her a speedy recovery. Greenwood School has been closed on account of scarcity of coal. The ladies of Waugh M. E.
