Brcrities.-- didn't get there, Eli, :"
announced u candidate for night po-
iceman Tuesday morning.
Even ''the press, the palladium Of
liberty was included in the request
Monday evening to retire. Can such
things be and not overcome us?
This reminds US Of u question ask
ed sometime ago: "What is the diff
ference between pailium and palla
dunn 2" A good deal pallium is a
consecrated vestment bestowed only
upon q few ecclesiastical dignitaricS,
while palladium is accessible to Ill.
Those who are too stingy and mean to
supply themselves borrow their neigh
boris, and the priceless boon Of liberty
is thus preserved. The Frostburg pal
ladum costs $3.50 PER @2Hatm. Books
open at these headquarters all the year
round. Like death we have all
seasons for our own.
1t would be well. however, for in
quiring linguists TO avoid confoundlng
palladium with pandemoniUm. We
know young man who once did this
in charmed circle. The charmer was
lady who did the fine writing for her
husband. 4 brilliant scissors editor.
He had a Hades Of Il timo before he
could be convinced that palladium WIS
tho right word. she won him over to
her way of thinking by remarling that
it was easier for some misguided young
men to make fools OF themselves than
for camel to so through the
eye of Il needle
We hardly know yet what the pros
pect for May 9th is, but the coal is
going out and baseball is looking up.
Every now ard then somebody
whispers-''go for the COWS" The III
vocation starts IL cold chill. In boy
hood We heard it every afternoon
about four o'clock, Sundays included.
Then it meant an indefinite exl loration
of the ghostly old "Snake Pasture "a
locality peopled by spooks even in
daylight, and apparently visible to
everybody except cattle and snakes.
Now, however, it means an assault
upon their municipal freedom and
hint to the new Council that state OF
emancipation does not tend to elevate
the morals or improve the tone OF
bovine society. The blood does not
run cold at the suggestion thus elabor
ated. The COW is not entitled to the
freedom of the city She is a lili-
gent, mild-eyed grazer of Young trees;
patient, crooked-horn garden pirate,
or an Industrious muly defler Of our
theroughfares. Her utility i'll TINS re-
spect has never been apparent, or
perhaps it is better to say that with
the progress of the town toward
M etropolitan proportions she has out
lived 1t. Public sentiment in Frost
burg, whenever it has q chance to eX-
press itself, always proclaims satla-
faction with what we haVe~-that Is to
say, we want nothing more than we've
got. 1t has been alike our pleasure
and pain to controvert the wisdom OF
such happiness, but IN the matter Of
cows running at large Il mass Of peo-
pie join US in believing that we have
more than enough. With them we
would like 10 see the new Council
build monument sacred to her mem
DRY us street walker. This can be
done by ordinance. The JOURNAL will
round up her career with an obituary
notice ''oouchca IN the most respectful
terms"
