The world faces the greatest crisis since the advent of Christianity, but the flickers here and there, like the light of a candle when it is fanned by a draught, seems not to mar the march of the populace. We are at the very threshold of a tremendous struggle between the ranks and file of the people and those interests that seek to perpetuate economic conditions that will gradually enslave the masses by a concentration of our vast resources into the hands of the chosen few. Politics is the keystone of the arch upon which our government rests — nothing can more intimately affect our home, our home life and the future welfare of our Children than the government under which we live. If our best people take no part in politics—if they fail to exercise their rights of citizenship, they have shirked the most important duty imposed upon them by their forefathers who fought for freedom and liberty against overwhelming odds. The future of the nation is not in the laps of gods, but in the hands of the people, and the great bulk of the American people are plodding painfully toward a goal they cannot see —along a road which every sign-post is turned the wrong way. The economics of a nation are important and so are the social, industrial and cultural aspects. Fundamentally, they all depend on politics just as the administration, legislative and judicial branches of the government either help or hamper in the development of all economic and social phases, because they are the arch on which everything depends, so is politics the keystone of that arch. Prosperity is essential to a nation, so are production, distribution, co-operation and an orderly economic system and these are attained in a greater or lesser degree in exact ratio to the quality and character of the politics of the nation, fori politics creates the government and government creates the rest; hence there will be no dawning of a new day until there is an expressed and accomplished desire for new politics. The trouble with the American people is that but one in a hundred take any persistent interest in the government. The Jeffersonian believes in a government of the people, by the people and for the people. It believes the right thing to do is to build up prosperity, comfort and happiness from the very bottom of the social structure. The present oil scandal at Washington proves conclusively that the moneyed aristocrat believes that human society is suspended from the top—he is securely convinced that the right of government legislates to enrich the aristocracy suspended above the heads of the masses. Take care of us first, he cries —heap wealth upon me and you may safely trust us to what we should allow to leak through to the common people below. (Prom the "Washington Correspondent of The Jeffersonian.) President Coolidge will take his candidacy for re-election before the people on the record of his administration, and as they say in sporting circles "will not carry weight," for he will make no apologies or explanations for those members in his Cabinet or their policies and ask for another term because his brief term of office has been sufficient to show what he could do. While the President had planned to make no speeches or to appear in public—thinking that he could run his campaign quietly from the White House or some New England resort and let someone else do the talking, during the last few days he has made up his mind that he must fight, hence he will take the stump and has announced a few speech dates. The President also realizes that he has an instrumentality at hand in the radio, which no other Presidential candidate before him ever wielded. He has made a careful study of its possibilities, and has completed arrangements to broadcast his speeches so that they will be relayed throughout the nation. BILL FILED HERE Trustee For G. E. Ryan Dockets Case Against Spring Grove Asylum. General Lejeune Describes Armed Action After Naval Reserve Was Leased To Doheny And Sinclair ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF NAVY ORDERED MARINES TO CLEAR TEAPOT DOME OF TRESPASSERS FARE ZONES OPPOSED United Will Raise On All Lines If Compelled To Operate To Boundary On 7 Cents. (From the Annapolis Correspondent of The Jeffersonian) If it must extend its fare zone to the city limits the United Railways & Electric Company will ask for a higher fare, it was indicated by officials of the company at Annapolis. The Public Service Commission has been urging the United to extend its single fare zone to the boundary line between Baltimore City and Baltimore county, but according to officers the only way this can be done is to raise fares throughout the city. A five-cent fare, it was stated, would deprive the traction company of $4,78 9,000 and cut deeply into its operating expenses. Louis McKim Kines,, trustee for George Edward Ryan, has filed a petition in the Circuit Court at Towson against Spring Grove Asylum, Dr. J. Percy Wade, Superintendent; Board of Mental Hygiene, Dr. Arthur P. Herring, chairman; and Herbert R. O'Connor, State's Attorney for Baltimore city, in which the court is asked to require the defendants to produce the said Ryan before a jury, to be impanelled at the direction of the court, in order that his sanity vel non may be determined. The petition recites that Ryan was tried before Judge Eli Frank and a (Continued on Page 8—Col. 1) BURKE AVENUE PROPERTY SOLD A deed was filed by which Vivian Phillips conveys a house and lot on Burke avenue, at Towson, to Sarah V.

The Court House at Towson will be the scene of another sensational murder trial removed from a neighboring county, when on March 24th, Leon Schmidt, alleged slayer of Patrolman Frank L. Latham will face the court here. Following a consultation with Herbert R. O'Conor, State's Attorney for Baltimore City, H. Courtenay Jenifer, State's Attorney for Baltimore County, placed the case at the head of the Criminal docket. Schmidt was indicted by the grand jury and the indictment brought into court, at which time the man was arrainged. Through his counsel, Eugene O'Dunn, he pleaded not guilty.

Mrs. Lilly May Sauble, through L. Machin, attorney, filed a bill in O. the Circuit Court at Towson in which she asks for an absolute divorce from John M. Sauble for alleged cruelty and abandonment. The bill states that the parties were married at Butler, this county, on April 4, 1895, and that they lived together until July, 1920. The ciuple have six children, the youngest of whom is now sixteen. than by mail, though the mails were improving. Two years after the "iron horse" as the first locomotive was called, made its victorious run through Baltimore county from Baltimore City to Ellicott City, a young man, an artist, was bound home from Europe on board the "Sully." One evening he overheard a conversation about the mysteries of electricity and began to wonder whether words might not be sent by this new magic. This artist began to dream, not of pictures and paint, but of the idea that had popped in his mind by mere chance. Even before he left the ship he had worked out a system of signs. This young artist was S. F. B. Morse. It takes money to make experiments, but young Morse earned funds by working at his art. In 1835 he set up his first rude apparatus in the little room where he cooked, worked and slept. Visitors who happened in were much interested in the wooden clock, the home-made battery and the wires that stretched around the room. Morse was very enthus (Continued on Page 8—Col. 2 ) 'MR.

George Lawrence, who operates a road house on the Eastern Avenue road, near North Point road, held back dry agents for nearly three hours when they attempted to make a raid on his place. When the prohibition enforcement men attempted to enter by force Lawrence covered them with a revolver pointed through a window, and was arrested only when a uniformed county officer came upon the scene. When taken before United States Commissioner Supplee he was held under $2500 bond on charges of manufacture and possession of liquor and resisting a Federal officer.

Phelps, of Corbett, has been "under the weather," being attended by Dr. Shermantine. successive shots at Edward L. Doheny, the central figure in the Teapot Dome scandal. The distance was only some fifty feet, and the shooter was rated as a first-class marksman, but, "the Doheny luck," said his friends, after Mr. Doheny had walked across the street and arrested the murderous rustler. It was also the same luck, it might appear, that enabled Doheny a few years later, to start with a Capital of ten cents and earn a fortune so enormous that nowadays he can't be bothered by keeping track of the size of it. Lately, it is reported, his luck has not been quite so good, due to government investigations of some of his oil activities, but his personality, we are told, will enable him to survive more than ordinary storms. Doheny has the clearest blue eyes and the most childlike candor. Doheny fascinated me to a point where I really wanted to write his life as a text-book as an inspiration for young Americans. But my first impression was all wrong, for I soon found out that Mr. Doheny was a man who seemed un- (Continued on Page 4—Col. 4) MRS. A. J. MOORE DEAD HEALTH DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL DESCRIBES DANGER OF MONOXIDE GAS IN GARAGES Proportion Of One-Fifth Of One Per Cent. In Air May Prove Fatal Says Dr. Walter S. Carswell—Hazard Is Serious As Motors Are "Tuned Up" Behind Closed Doors. Th vast number of deaths occuring recently from monoxide gas, while victims are working on their automobiles behind closed doors, has caused Dr. Walter S. Carswell, Secretary to the Baltimore County Health Department, to send a warning against its dangers. Dr. Carswell says: "Strangely enough, this serious hazard associated with the private garage is not commonly known. Persons daily jeopardize their life and health by working on their automobiles while the motors are running, and the fact that they are not always poisoned does not make the danger any less acute. "Deaths from this cause are common occurrences. Baltimore county has had several during the past year. "Carbon monoxide gas, as generated by the motor, is a deadly poison. Investigators are agreed that the carbon monoxide content in the air should never exceed the twentieth part of 1 per cent.; that air containing one-tenth of 1 per cent, is unsafe for more than a very short time, and that when the content reaches one-fifth of one per cent, the air is dangerous for man to breathe and may prove fatal. "An average motor running with a properly adjusted carburetor may easily generate four or five cubic feet of carbon monoxide gas per minute, so that in one minute the content in the air in an average garage would exceed one-tenth of 1 per cent, and in two minutes might reach and exceed the danger mark. End Comes At Home Of Cousin In Towson. Interment In Havre de Grace Cemetery. Mrs. Amelia J. Moore, aged 72 years, died on Wednesday at the home of her cousin, Mrs. Wm. P.

FOURTH QUARTERLY CONFERENCE AT LONG GREEN FRIDAY. A meeting of the fourth quarterly conference of Long Green Circuit will be held on Friday evening next at Waugh M. E. Church. COOLIDGE ORDERS PROBE OF NEW SCANDAL AFTER DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTION Latest Mess Said To Involve Two Members Of Congress And Is In Line With General Trend Of Alleged Corruption Under G. O. P. In Capital. (From the Washington Correspondent of The Jeffersonian.) While the Senate Teapot Dome investigating committee has been hearing the testimony concerning messages passing between Edward B. McLean from "a sick golf course" in Florida and his army of employes and retainers in Washington, involving employes of the Department of Justice who were using a department secret cede, a new Republican scandal was developing at the Chicago grand jury inquisition of the Veteran's Bureau scandal. The last named scandal is said to involve two members of Congress, some say three, and is in line with the general trend of alleged corruption since the present Republican administration came into power. As soon as the first publication was made concerning this latter scandal Representative Finis J. Garrett, Democratic floor leader of the House, introduced a resolution of inquiry, following which President Coolidge ordered the Acting Attorney General to take charge of the prosecution of the reported cases. While the White House chorus was trying to BLENHEIM WOMAN UNDERGOES OPERATION. Mrs. C. C. Klopp, of Blenheim, underwent a very serious operation recently at the Maryland University Hospital, Baltimore City. give the President credit for the initial move in these latest developments, the Garrett resolution remained with the Committee of Rules without action.

Requests that the present 45-min-ute schedule of the trackless trolley operated by the United Railways and Electric Company on the Liberty road be reversed back to the old 30-minute schedule were made by representatives of the Liberty Road Improvement Association before the Public Service Commission. The representatives explained that the present schedule, which the Commission authorized some time ago to remain in effect until April 1, was unsatisfactory.
