Frostburg. Mt. Savage. Eckhart, Pompey and(

We? And If we be nothing what in chaos is

lngmen incorporated in the legislation of the
country. They will not get everything, but
they will get great many things, because
they are right. Many of the demands
ascribed to socialism are just and the ten
dency of legislation is to concede them. 1t
will not be long until contract labor in the
prisons is done away with and until there
i will be no children at labor under age.
Many the States have already legislated on
these points. There will be careful supervision
| of tenement houses and mines. Eventually
| the railroads and telegraphs will go under
the control of the government as well as
similar monopolies The telegraph will be
the first step. There is no reason why the
| government should not send my message by
electricity as well as by steam. The beginning
of government control of railroads may be
| seen already in the railroad commissions
established in the several States, and in the
Ev-f fho q
| the regulation of inter State commerce. The
| progress from the control of commerce to the
actual control of the railroads will be a short
step. municipalities will own the gas works
and water works and will furnish the supply
| to the people at cost. The cry that all these
| things are socialistic is scarcely worthy of
consideration. They are right, whether
| socialistic or not"

There We're $4,000 pounds of oleomargarine
consumed in this county last year, according
| to the estimates. The butter appears to be
better in consequence; hence, the law taxing

count it bad, however, should remember that
| Willie an unrighteous law is better than no
law, no butter is much superior to wicked
| butter.
The Westernport lynching case is still on
trial in the Circuit Court, but nearing the end.
Thomas Hill lost COW last May. He made
long search and extended inquiry without
avail. Meantime, Jacob Wabert, living near
town, talked and talked to different pei pie
about COW that stopped on his premises in
June. until the other day. just he had arrang-
ed to advertise the estray in the legal way,
Mr.. Hill got some intimation of the proceed
ing and, following it up, found his long-ost.
So it seems that even to talk about advert sing
| is blessed to advertiser and ADVERTISED II isa
magic topic.
