The affairs of the Telephone Company are so far reaching and its business of such a technical nature that no one but an expert is qualified to pass on the matter—however, it is a matter of common knowledge and personal experience that everything we buy is going up. We are not financially interested in the Telephone Company and we do not believe that a formal request for an increase will necessarily bring immediate higher rates by the Public Service Commission. Any open-minded citizen cannot deny the fact that of all our public utilities the Telephone Company makes the greatest ef-ort to render prompt and efficient service. Officials and employes are at all times courteous. The public demands service, and receiving it, must expect to iy the price and allow investors in telephone securities a fair return on their money.

If 6235 persons were found on the streets in a year by the police in the city of Baltimore with stab wounds, would they simply send the wounded to the hospitals for treatment and let it go at that? No, they would search the city as Scotland Yard did in the White Chapel cases to discover who was responsible for .the condition in which the unfortunates were found.

He wanted it put off, not to take effect for a couple of years, and to have a provision added that in the meantime if this government entered into a treaty of exclusion that the provision in the bill should be absolutely void from that time on. But today, right while we are here, a primary election is being held in California for the voters there to say whether that State shall be for Coolidge or for its own honored son as the Republican candidate. The people of California are unanimous in favor of the exclusion provision of the immigration bill and just on the eve of that election it is announced from the White House that the President is in favor of the exclusion provisions, but the conference committee is held back in secret, and has not reported, and will not report unttil after the Californians get through voting and then, if the President has his way, there will probably be a provision in the bill which at least many people honestly think will mean non-exclusion."

D, Box 2cB May 10-17-24 Commissioner of Baltimore City, eration in Baltimore city, the These "step on the gas" invitations remain on the highways not only in Baltimore county, but throughout the State. Day after day and night after night they urt serious accidents and death, yet the State Roa^ls Commission feels that it is so high and mighty that the demand of the people for an explanation is not worth heeding. As far as Baltimore county is concerned it has a police department, whose duty along with other things is to see that speeding adjacent to towns is not indulged in and it has a State's Attorney who is ardent in the pursuit of his public duties, hence is it not time for local action regarding these signs which tell autoists to go the limit? As we have stated before, the 'jC '.'¦-.¦¦;¦¦ : speed laws in cities, towns and villages and adjacent thereto are clearly defined in a booklet published by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles and is the law of the State, ¦ notwithstanding the fact that the State Roads Commission has seen fit to interprete it differently. in an interview in the Baltimore Sun on Sunday last gave some statistics which, coming from that source, are interesting. He. said that last year 6235 persons were taken into custody on the charge of drunkenness, which establishes a record for arrests in a year, and he says police officials agree that drunkenness in the city is on the increase. He says that 9 deaths have occurred this year due to acute alcoholism besides persons killed in accidents and dying in private hospitals or their homes from the same cause. It would still be more interesting if the Police Department would give some idea of who these persons arrested were. We think, however, we can describe them. Fully one-third of them were of the criminal negro type who have always filled the cells of the station houses for drunkenness or worse. A large percentage of the others were just ordinary bums and chronic inebriates, and the balance boys probably arrested for the first time. We doubt seriously if one per cent of those 6235 owned their homes or had steady employment. They were, in other words, generally of the derelict and improvident kind that society and the State must controlj duty product of which is dispensed by boottleggers to these wretches you have been arresting. How many bootleggers have the police force arrested ? The truth is that the bootleggers are in the saddle in Maryland today. They are the greatest enemy the State has ever known—the stuff they sell not only intoxicates but it kills. As the illicit drug salesman knows the drug addict, so the bootlegger knows the poor devil who cannot control his appetite for drink, and they are sought out and supplied with that which intoxicates and often destroys. If the police department of Baltimore city honestly desire to see drunkenness reduced to a minimum in Baltimore city instead of specializing in arrests for drunkenness—go after the criminals who furnish the stuff that makes the drunks and you will succeed. Every little while you will notice in the papers from various sections the effect of prohibition on drunkenness. In some secti.ons come reports similar to Baltimore ; in other sections jails are empty and drunkenness has disappeared. Tt depends upon how the police and police officials re-orard their oaths and do their bill, thus verifying Senator Morris' prediction within twenty-four hours. -o- GREAT COMMON DIVISOR. Johnny—Say, Pap, I can't get these 'rithmetic examples; teacher said something 'bout finding the great common divisor. Paw (in disgust)—Great Scott! haven't they found that thing yet?

While playing ball Mr. Raymond Connelly, of Baldwin, had the misfortune to sprain his ankle. TYDINGS HITS CHILD AMENDMENT. LABOR Representative Tydings, Second district, opened his re-election campaign with an argument against the pending child labor amendment. He declared it was a violation of State's rights and that he would continue to oppose it, with 69 others who voted against it. ARE THESE MEN GOING TO KEEP THE HIGHWAYS FREE FROM SPEED MANIACS OR OBSERVE THE "STEP ON THE GAS" INVITATIONS? PUBLIC DEMANDS SERVICE. Now the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co. wants an increase in rates. Telephone users will fail to form or express views on the subject, yet the wisdom of conclusions may leave many of us in The State Police Force is unier the jurisdiction of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles and the booklet published by him, and whim is recognized as the motorists catechism, defines very plainly speed I raits in cities, towns and villages and adjacent thereto—notwithstanding, the State Roads Commission has placed 3 5-Mile speed limit signs, where, according to the Motor Commissioner's booklet, it is unlawful to exceed twenty miles per hour. j AN OBJECT LESSON, A friend of mine was being very unjustly criticised by his wife. Now, many of you have had the same experience. So he took her for a walk down South Clark Street, in Chicago, past Hinky Dink's saloon. There were a thousand leary-eyed "bums around the saloon and his wife said to him: "Why do you ever bring me to a place like this?" 'You saw all those men, didn't you?" She answered: "Yes, I should say I did." So, sticking out his chest he said: "Now look at me. See what you could do and be satisfied with what you have." They lived happily ever after. Frank A.
