FEBRUARY 9, 1924 EVERYONE WANTS GOOD SCHOOLS, BUT EVERYONE IS NOT ABLE TO PAY FOR THEM. The more The Jeffersonian hears from the people relative to the additional Bond Issue for schools, the more it is convinced that the measure must carry a referendum. While we are not criticizing the educational authorities for the methods used in educating our youngsters, realizing that our public school system is recognized as one of the best in the country, we have been brought face to face with the fact that there are a great many of our citizens who disapprove of the so-called "fan dangled" stuff that is being crammed into the children's heads, and this alone has prejudiced many against our schools and our school system. It may be true that some things taught in the public schools today do not coincide with the views of the older folks, but as we see it, the trend of the times is to make the school more attractive to youngsters and by giving a variety of studies it does not make the daily grind monotonous; but in doing this the school authorities should realize that there is a limit and budget accordingly. No matter where one goes in Baltimore county today the cry is high taxes, and The Jeffersonian honestly believes that the County Commissioners are doing everything in their power to curtail public expenditures so as to relieve the burden upon the tax payers' shoulders. The 1924 tax bills show that 72 cents has been levied for the running expenses of the schools and each year the Board of Education asks for just a "wee bit" more. The only way to reduce taxes is to reduce expenditures, and while the County Commissioners are compelled by law to levy a certain amount for the operating expenses of the public school system, they have no jurisdiction over the spending of same. In all sincerity, we do not believe the people of Baltimore county can stand, nor will stand a great in-^ crease in the cost of public education. Everyone wants good schools, but everyone is not able to pay for them, and with this fact in mind the Board of Education should proceed with caution in the future. In some places we must admit that housing conditions for our school children are deplorable and that they must be corrected if the little minds and bodies are to be developed in the proper way, but right on top of the recent Bond Issue, when our citizens thought the amount voted for new school buildings would be sufficient for years to Woodrow Wilson, the War Presi dent of the United States, is dead— like all of us he had his faults, and like all men who make .their mark in the world, he had his enemies, but they were for the greater part people who felt that America should never have entered the world conflict, but yea, had this country not, God pity us and pity also the remnant of the German people. Any man who has been honored by the people and placed in the highest office of the nation retains a distinct affection in the hearts of his countrymen, and when he passes to "the great beyond," a leader goes who never can be replaced. Hence a great light in American history has flickered out; the faet that it had long been visibly burning low did not lessen the shock. Mr. Wilson was possessed of great intellectual gifts, strength of character, and firm-set will, and rose from obscurity to the position of the greatest political power on earth. While he now reposes peacefully in his last resting place, yea, his influence survives—a mighty and growing power. His ideals, only in part translated into action during his troubled life, remain as a rich heritage for his countrymen, a source of inspiration and a store of wisdom for guidance toward a finer civilization. The world war threw upon Mr. Wilson a weight of responsibility far greater than any President excepting Lincoln. His conduct of office during the great crisis will be a perpetual subject for controversy As during his life, men will differ as to whether he should or could have led the nation earlier into the struggle and so have spared humanity much blood and treasure. Most men will agree that he could not possibly have kept out altogether; that his appeal to the German people over the heads of the Kaiser, court and general staff was a powerful agent in hastening the defeat of the Prussian Empire in the field, and that his ideas for peace were humane, wise and prudent. History held a fair page for Woodrow Wilson and he will be forever known as one of America's greatest sons and most devoted servants. The torch that he lifted has not gone out, but will continue to burn, a beacon light upon the highway of human progress. the leases, with the understanding unless things change a great deal that the action of the committee the public will demand an explicit should be kept secret, that President l explanation and a new regime. Coolidge made any public utterance ; ------------------------ concerning the Teapot Dome scan-1 In Mexico the lame duck seems to dal. At midnight that same day he | be a game bird, issued &r statement anticipating the agreed-upon resolution, concerning which it was charged that there had* been a leak. In that midnight statement President Coolidge injected this partisan political note: "As I understand, men are involved who belong to both political parties." This was the first open political utterance in the Teapot Dome investigation. The only person to whom this reference could have applied was Mr. Doheny, who is not a public official or a Democratic official of any kind, nor ever has been, and bears no responsibility to the people. America is now dry twelve miles out and wet twelve miles in. TAKING A CHANCE. Of course Americans trust in God. You can tell by the way they drive. Blessed are the peace-makers. They will never be out of a job. The latest description of a bigamist is a man who makes the same mistake twice. Death is ennobling. Every little fur-bearing animal becomes seal when it dies. Most accidents and a majority of the financial setbacks which occurred in this community in 1923 came from taking a chance. Notwithstanding all that has been printed, said or done, people continue to assume risks without proper consideration of the odds. We are too inclined to forget danger until we run into an emergency. We take too many chances at railroad crossings when driving autos; wef dart about streets, ignoring traffic. We are too quick to lend ear to the affable gentlemen whose sole stock in trade is a stack of prettily printed stock certificates, bearing a lot of green and red and gold ink yet worth no more on their face than they would bring as waste paper. Some would buy these as carelessly as they run their autos —they take chances—and a financial accident happens. "Don't take a chance" is good, sound doctrine. Experience is the most costly thing on earth and also the most bitter thing you can buy. And quite often experience is about all we get out of taking a chance. About the only tax-free securities a poor man can collect are treasures in heaven. The junker who says the Fatherland needs a helm doubtless means a Wilhelm. SPEAKING OF DIRECTORS OF PUBLIC SAFETY. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE AND THE TEAPOT DOME SCANDAL. Although the Teapot Dome Naval Oil leases made by former Secretary of the Interior Fall to Doheny and Sinclair, respectively, have constituted an open scandal for nearly two years, no administration Republican has assisted by word or act to bring to light any of the shameful and humiliating facts that have shocked the nation in connection with this disgraceful transaction. On the contrary they have sought to belittle the discussions of it and have thrown all manner of obstacles in the way of the investigators. It was not until Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana had laid bare the rawpst and the most repulsive facts that he received any cooperation from the Republican chairman of the investigating committee. It required a Democratic resolution in the Senate to reveal the fact that these leases had been secretly made, and after the resolution was offered the Interior Department refused to confirm to the press the report that such secret leases had been made. While the matter was under discussion in the Senate, Calvin Coolidge was Vice-Prresident of the Unitd States and presided over that body. He sat in the Cabinet sessions at the invitation of President Harding, so that he might be famil-,iar with administration policies and important departmental a ff a i r s. When he took office as President, the Republican party press cited among his qualifications for President that his experience as an unofficial member of the Cabinet had made him familiar with the operations of the administration. He hastened to announce that he intended to carry out the policies of the Harding administration and the naval oil leases were one of those policies. There is no record that he ever protested against these leases while Vice-President or offered any suggestion that they should be investigated i by the \ administration. He has been President for six months during which time, as well as prior thereto, the names of Secretary of the Navy Denby and of Attorney General Daugherty have been notoriously associated with these leases. The greatest jurist and philosopher who. ever had the misfortune to be elected mayor of an American city was William J. Gaynor, Mayor of New York City from 1910 until his death in the summer of 1913. In one of his many famous letters Mayor Gaynor wrote: "We have far more to fear in this country from the gradual encroachment of arbitrary power than from all the vices of liquor drinking, prostitution and gambling combined, if not from all the vices combined. It must never be forgotten that the exercise of arbitrary power brings in its wake sooner or later all of the vices, and especially the detestable vices of official oppression, extortion and blackmail." We would respectfully recommend this passage to the attention of those who rejoice in the "clean-up" of Philadelphia by Gen. Smedley D. Butler. It was another of Mayor Gaynor's amiable theories that ours was a "government of laws, not of men." He should have told it to "the marine"! Now that British labor is taking over the government, it will find plenty of employment. House rent is so high now, it is odd that people don't stay at home to get,their money"s worth. Perhaps the housing situation will be improved when more people again take a live interest in homes. And then again you can recognize the approach to Easy Street by the nervous wrecks along the way. If there was no Adam or Eve, as the scientists now assert, who was it began raising Cain? A "Tramp's Opera" is to be produced shortly. Surely the music ought to be ragtime. (k/aty)©K) wm Y§®- SENTIMENT O N ADDITIONAL LOAN FOR SCHOOLS DIVIDED. A melting-pot can't change them into good Americans unless they were good Europeans. M. Poincare should now insist that Germany pay for the next war in advance. Uncle Sam will not recognize Russia till she can recognize her financial obligations. The Republican slogan is expected to be "Keep Coolidge." Some, however, will shout "Hire Hiram!" Jesse James may have been all they say about him, but he never charged $17 for a short ton of anthracite. "Can people get married on $3000 a year?" Well, more easily, it seems, than they can stay married on $30,000 a year. America doesn't mind doing her part in the world's affairs. What she objects to is doing Europe's part. (By D. F.) DID YOU Do you know what it means to be losing the fight When a lift in time might set everything right? Do you know what it means—just the clasp of a hand When a man has borne all that a man ought to stand? Did you ask what it was—why the quivering lip, Why the glistening tears down the pale cheek now slip? Were you brother of his when the time came to be? Did you stop when he asked you to give him a lift, Or were you too busy, so left him to shift? Oh, I know what you mean—what you say may be true—-But the test of true manhood is, What did you do? Did you reach out a hand? Did you find him the road? Or did you just let him go by with his load? ----------o---------- MY CREED. To have no secret place wherein I stoop unseen to shame or sin, To be the same when I'm alone As when iny every deed is known; To live undaunted, unafraid Of any step that I have made; To be without pretense or sham Exactly what men think I am. ----------o---------- WHAT IS IT THAT PAYS? One day ten men each lost a ten-dollar bill. Nine of them were pessimists, and one believed in advertising. He ran a want ad. in the local paper, stating that he had lost a ten-dollar'bill and would give a reward for its recovery. Seven men came around to the address given in the want ad., each with a ten-dollar bill he had found. The optimist took the money and gave each in turn a dollar for his honesty. Let's sum it up now: Each of the seven honest men were ahead one berry; the pessimists who did not believe that advertising paid were out ten bones each; the fellow who believed in advertising was the big winner; the three fellows who had found each a tenner but did not answer the ad. were crooks, but were ahead ten each. Honesty may or may not be the best policy, but it pays to advertise. ----------o---------- HOW DID HE KNOW? Magistrate—"You are charged with being drunk. Have you anything to say?" Culprit—"I've never been drunk in my life, sir, and never intend to be ,for it always makes me feel so bad in the morning." ----------o---------- GOING SOME. "Carson is the most absent-minded chap I ever saw." "What's he been doing now?" "This morning he thought he had left his watch at home and then proceeded to take it out of his pocket to see if he had time to go home and get it." "But he doesn't beat the man who went out of his office and put a card on the door saying he would be back at 3 o'clock, and finding that he had forgotten something, went back to the office, read the notice on the door and sat down on the stairs to wait until 3 o'clock." NO REASON FOR DELAY. P was not until Senator Walsh of come, the request for an additional j Montana had secured an agreement loan comes "like a thunder bolt outjin the investigating committee to of a clear sky," hence it will be far [support in principle a resolution di-better for all concerned to let the greeting the President to employ people sanction it at the next gen-1 special counsel in the case and to erarl election. take action for the cancellation of The decision of the Postoffice authorities at Washington to give more consideration to the delivery of rural newspapers is hailed with delight and astonishment. Rural postmasters and rural route carriers do not regard the delivery of the local newspaper with any proper degree of seriousness—at any rate The Jeffersonian finds this true in many sections of this county, and in view of the fact will thank its readers to immediately advise when there is a delay. The Jeffersonian should reach each subscriber on Saturday morning and if it does not, we want to know it. It often happens that folks complain to their local postoffice and that is the end of the matter, for local post masters many times regard themselves as local Czars, but they sing a different tune when the "higher-ups" in the department begin to probe into their inactivity. To keep the local postmaster on his toes, subscribers and publishers must keep on theirs. General Dawes is to help the committee of experts stop the outflow of German capital—-no doubt, with a good strong dam. The trouble with the Congressional practice of keeping the ear to the ground is that it also limits the field of vision. Lieutenant Wood took an $800,-000 flier in Wall Street and yet they claim the Army needs more money for aviation! Jazz music and radio loud-speakers have rendered great service to the deaf. Deafness isn't the curse that it once was. Proof that a big bonus is compatible with reduced taxes has led to a demand for a bonus twice as big to cut taxes twice as much. We are advised that in China the people work from twelve to eighteen hours a day. At last we can understand how Mah Jongg came to be considered a game. QUIT USING THE "WHITE WASH BRUSH." The recent murder at the Maryland Penitentiary demonstrates that much is taking place in that institution of which the authorities are ignorant, and clearly illustrates once more that the Warden has desperate people to deal with and that too much vigilance cannot be exercised with them. Here of late the "white wash brush" has been used too frequently on "the Pen," and citizens are beginning to ask why. Mr. Van Loon can not be charged with leaving nothing to his readers' imagination when he tells them that the serpent "handed" Eve the fruit of the tree. Mexico will continue to have these trenuous election campaigns as long as it remains true South of the Rio Grande that "to the victor belongs the spoils." Kansas City thieves now drive up to a residence in a truck and tote away everything that is loose, and yet a scientist says we are less than 25 per cent, efficient. The old-fashioned man who used §o encourage the laggard fire with That something is radically wrong j kerosene^a^ hunt the gas leak with there is no doubt, for too much has j lighted matches has a son who been going on there here of late.

The Husband—"I can't afford to buy it for you, dear." The Bride—"But if you could, you would, wouldn't you?" The Husband—"I'm afraid not." The Bride—"Why?" The Husband—"It isn't good enough, dear." The Bride—"Oh, you darling!" ----------o---------- NOT SO DENSE. "I think that children are not as observing as they should be," said the inspector to the teacher. "I hadn"t noticed it," replied the teacher. "Well, I'll prove it to you"; and turning to the class the inspector said: "Some one give me a number." "Thirty-seven," said a little boy eagerly. The inspector wrote 73 on the board, and nothing was said. "Will some one else give me a number?" "Fifty-two," said another lad. The inspector wrote down 25 on the board, and smiled at the teacher. He called for another number, and young Jack called out: "Seventy-seven; now see if you can change that." ----------o---------- THESE SHORT BUILDINGS. Shiftless Phil had a total capital of seventy-five cents. The cold, December wind told him plainly that he could not sleep that night on his favorite park bench, so he went into the nearest hotel, a ten-story structure, and inquired their nightly rates. The clerk informed him that the first floor rooms were $10 nightly, second floor 9, each floor being $1 cheaper than the floor below, which made the top floor $1 nightly. Phil shifted uneasily and started swiftly for the door. "What's the matter," asked the clerk. "Don't you want a room?" "No," answered Shiftless. "Your building ain't high enough." ----------o---------- THAT'S HOW IT STARTED. "Mabel, how do you think I'd look if I covered my ears with my hair?" "I think you look all right dear, but—" "Yes?" "Have you enough hair?" "Upper End" Almost Unanimous Against Passage In Any Form— "Lower End" Seems "Luke Warm." Only Member Of Legislative Delegation For It Without Referendum Is Wm. G. Helfrich. (Continued from Page 1) tion. In the thickly populated sections like Towson, Catonsville, Park-ville, Pikesville and others the sentiment is divided, while in the lower end of the county the inhabitants seem "luke warm" on the subject. Some citizens feel that the measure should carry a referendum while others say emphatically that the Legislature should turn the proposition down entirely, and so it goes. One resident of the upper end interviewed by a representative of The Jeffersonian said it was no use for the people in the strictly rural sections to put up any fight, for if a referendum was attached the people in the thickly settled portions of the county would vote for it, and that would be all there was to it. The Jeffersonian would like to hear from individuals and organizations throughout the conuty regarding the matter, for in no other way can the true beat of the public pulse be felt. Senator David G. Mcintosh, Jr., is absolutely opposed to the issuance of an additional school loan without a referendum, and so are James J. Lindsay, Jr., Louis McLane Merry-man, Milton Tolle and John S Mahle, with Frank S. Given is "feeling out the home folks" before making a decision. W. G. Helfrich, the sixth member of the Baltimore County delegation at Annapolis is "standing pat" for the passage of the bill without a referendum, and from the following lttter his "home folks" are behind him: The Jeffersonian, Towson, Md. Gentlemen: You have published in your columns, information regarding the meeting of Baltimore county citizens at Towson on Saturday, January 26, and the resolution asking the Legislature for authority to issue bonds to the amount of $1,500,000 for the relief of the schools, and permission to borrow $500,000 on the bonds to be issued in 1925 and 1926 to meet the urgent and immediate necessities of our schools. The Catonsville Improvement Association, which has a membership of 380, endorsed the resolution above referred to, unanimously, at its meeting on January 30th. Apparently aimost every one favors adequate school facilities in Baltimore county, that our boys and girls may be better fitted for their life's work, but opposition has arisen because the resolution asked that relief be given at once, to meet the urgent demands, without a referendum. While I am not authorized to speak for all the friends of the children, I will state that all I have consulted agree that there is not the slightest doubt about what the verdict of the people will be when voting on provisions for adequate school facilities. That in the election of November 1922, when we were handicapped by having provisions for roads to the extent of $2,-000,000 and only $1,000,000 for schools, 11,420 voted for the bond issue and 3,899 against it, so why should we be concerned about the outsome this time? The enrollment of the schools, in the thickly settled and rapidly growing communities is twice their capacity, and schools are badly needed where they do not now exist, and these conditions are getting worse rapidly, and relief should be given without unnecessary delay, and for this reason we hoped this might be done without a referendum, that the money may be made available at once. But it is far from any of us to fear the referendum. If the referendum is required, we will at once begin to form plans for a county-wide organization, will show the voters the conditions, the Board of Education's plans for improvements in detail, the value and need of education and its help to success, as compiled by the U. S. Bureau of Education, and the earning power per citizen of those States doing much for the education of its children, as compared with Maryland. On such an issue, who can doubt the outcome in a popular election? Let us provide the money, strengthen and support our Board of Education, who are doubtless not only the best informed, but the best qualified body to improve our school facilities, and help our boys and girls to get an education and grow into more useful manhood and womanhood. How can we do less? GEORGE M. KIMBERLY, President, Catonsville Improvement Association. Chairman, Towson meeting of January 26, 1924. ----------o---------- MANDATE RECEIVED FORMER PRESIDENT LAID REST IN CATHEDRAL CRYPT AS HORDES PAUSE TO MOURN. Before Silent Watchers Solemn Voice Of Clergyman Intones Burial Service—Simple Dignity Characterized Ceremony—Heads Bared As Hearse Passes. (Continued from Page 1) sailors lifted the casket, bearing it to the hearse outside; behind, with, heads bared, filed the honorary pall bearers, former class mates and associates of the dead War President. Outside thousands bared their heads in the rain while silently,, without the roll of drums or the panoply of State, the body-bearers, placed their burden into the hearse and through massed throngs the procession moved toward the Cathedral. In the vast enclosure where the^ National Cathedral is being erected,, the crowd assembled early, but only those with cards were permitted inside the chapel. Here and there along the route stood little groups of men around a flag. Empty sleeves, twisted limbs and cutches marked them as victims of the great war.. They came to salute as he went by, for he was their chief. Over the doorway of the chapel is carved "The Way To Peace"; here the procession paused while from within the strains of the pipe organ filled the air with Chopin's Funeral March. Bishop Freeman, in his robes proceeded slowly up the aisle, repeating "I am the resurrection and the life, I know that my Redeemer liv-eth," and finally when the casket was placed before the altar, the Bishop continued: "Lord, let me know thine end" and on through the 99th Psalm. The Apostle's Creed followed, after which the whole congregation joined in repeating the Lord's Prayer. Prayers from the Episcopal ritual and final benediction ended the services. While the choir sang "The Strife Is O'er, the Battle Done" President and Mrs. Coolidge led the way from, the chapel, the people following; then alone with their dead, Mrs. Wilson and the rest of the family said their last farewell—workmen raised the heavy slab covering the crypt. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust," chanted the Bishop; the casket sank and with the word "Amen" Woodrow Wilson was at rest. ----------o---------- LIFE-TERM CONVICT STABBED TO DEATH IN "PEN" BY ANOTHER WHOM HE TAUNTED.

Exceptions to the ruling of the Circuit Court was filed and an appeal taken. The Court of Appeals decides that evidence as to whether or not there had been any fraud or deceit used in the matter should have been submitted to the jury. The caveat filed to the will was sustained by the Orphans' Court and the issues in the case sent to the Circuit Court for trial. ----------o---------- BARN DAMAGED BY FIRE.

He never spoke after receiving the wound in the neck. Dr. Milton C. Lang, resident physician at the Penitentiary hospital, examined Mitchell after he had been carried into the operating room and pronounced him dead. With two pistols and 50 rounds of ammunition in his possession, Mitchell, the dead man, was about to stage a wholesale delivery at I the Penitentiary nearly a year ago. In addition to the firearms and ammunition to fight his way to freedom in the event of any interference from the prison guards, Mitchell also had keys with which he intended to open his and other cells. He had the same plan of escape and the same kind of implements to bend the bars over the window that were used so successfully recently by Jack Hart and W. F. Tilson. In Warden Sweezey's possession now are the steel block which was to have been fitted over the ends of the bars, and a short crowbar which was to be employed for putting on the pressure necessary to force apart the steel uprights of the grating. Information concerning the plot came to Warden Sweezey's attention and the escape was frustrated. Louis Staniewicz, twenty-five, who formerly lived on South Bond street, was an outside employee of the prison working in the shoe shop where Mitchell worked as a prisoner. Staniewicz was inveigled into a scheme to aid Mitchell to escape. The plot was discovered May 10, 1923. Staniewicz subsequently was arrested and sentenced to the Penitentiary for five years on an indictment charging conspiracy. For three weeks Staniewicz was shadowed by Detective Sergeant Le-roy W. Myers. Warden Sweezey received word from one of his "intelligence" men in the prison that Staniewicz was "slipping something to Mitchell." Charles D. Gaither, Police Commissioner, called Detective Captain Burns to his office and within three weeks all details of the plot were in the hands of the police. When the trap was sprung two pistols, cartridges and keys were found secreted in Mitchell's cell. The pistols, covered with grease, were found in the water tank of the lavatory. The tank was a few inches from the top of Mitchell's cell. ----------o---------- ESSEX WOMAN UNDERGOES OPERATION. Fire slightly damaged the barn on the property of Otho L. Gladding, near Catonsville. Mrs. Martha Stevenson, of Essex, underwent an operation for eye trouble on Wednesday at the Presbyterian Eye and Ear Hospital. Her brother, Wm. B. Mitchell, underwent an operation for similar trouble on Monday. ----------o---------- EVANGELIST TO SPEAK AT MT. CARMEL CHURCH TOMORROW (SUNDAY) Rev. W. G. Cooper, of Providence, R.
