resented as being very poor affair.
Wa tere surprised 70 hear that there
WAS iospeaking. On their return one
Of the excursionists, WIN. Waltz, Of
New Windsor, tried the experiment
Of jumping from tho cars at Smiths
burg wh.n they were going at the
rate Of Is or 80 miles an hour, and
the result was, he landed on his head.
The news was soon through the coun-
trv that be- was dead and that his
BODY was to arrive on the next train,
and preparations were made to re-
ceive his body. But his dead body
was not. brought on the next sralt,
nor the next, but on Sunday lis ami
mate body was, and he walked FROM
Union. Bridge to New Windsor. We
suppose he has learned enough to de-
tefmine him not to make second
such leap, for his head and face, we
understand, is terribly cut and bruised
The wonder is that he was not killed
outright. Ifpersons will just takea
sober, second thought, they will not,
attempt such feats.

%The address of Gen. WoRTHIN,

TON, candidate for Congress from this
District in 1922, which we publish TO-
day, shows that he was not afraid to
avow his opinions on the public topics
Of the day, nor to pin his faith on
any politicians sleeve but entertain
ed and held opinions Of his own, which
he believed would rebound to the
honor and glory of the State and the
veal Of our common country. When
he was elected to Congress in 1925 he
acted free, sovereign and indepen-
dent" He was not the slave Of Il party
or the creature Of a faction, but the
Representative Of Freeman and he
was in truth a Democratic Republican,
because he believed that our form Of
Government is founded on the will Of
the people, and because it surpassed
every other in promoting and preserv-
ing honor, virtue and happiness |!

more than fair that the West this time

MARYLAND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
The New England Press, and es-
pecially tn, Springfield (Massachu-
setts) Republican, complains that the
members which this State has hereto
fore sent to Congress have been poor
sticks" and singles outReverdy John
son as the only man Of note or conse-
quence that the people Of Maryland
have ever chosen to represent them in
the Halls Of Congress. This is a sweep
ing assertion. We admit that the
members generally whom the people
Of this State have chosen to represent
their interests at Washington City,
are not quite as "shsrp" as Ben Butler,
rs notorious as Ames, the Credit Mo-
bilier Attorney, or as great and pro-
found as Charles Sumner, the author
os the Civil Rights Bill but on an av-
GRACE we apprehend will compare in
manly independence and outspoken
frmness with the Dawes Hoar's or
Washburn's of which the Bay State
boosts as her political luminaries
Frederick county has sent and
helped to send, since the adoption Of
the constitution and organization Of
the Federal Government, such men as
Unton Shcredine, James Dixon Roman,
Thos. sprigg, VIM r. Hamilton,
Geo. B;.er, Jr., Henry w. Hoffman,
Roger Mel son, Patrick Magrudcr,
Samuel Ringgold, Alexander c. Hanson,
John Nelson, Henry X. Wartield,
TIC. Worthington, Maj George Peter,
Johu Lee, Geo. C. Washington,
Francis Thomas, VIM. Cost Johnson,
John Thomson Mason,
Statesmen in our humble judgment in
ability, with as high sense Of honor,
sterling integrity, and profound cudi-
ticn to compare with no discred!t to
themselves or their country with an
equal number Ct New England States
men.
If the Democratic and Conservative
Convention and the Republican Con-
vention which are to assemble at Ha-
gerstown next month, will put in
nomination men of equal ability and
political foresight to those above
named, and are chosen to represent
this District in the forty fourth Con
gress, the old rans-Allegany and
Monocacy Districts, need not fear
that they will be matched or over
matched by any of the Wanted Beech

BY all means Maryland should

peting with the Great Men Of Gath in

whelmed by the Massachusetts,
