time real metropolitan airs by fur
nishing its readers with the United
Press Geographic news, thus autic-
ipating the other city papers in this

are other evidences of improvement

management which augur well for an
enterprise profitable to its owners and
useful to the community. We wish it
abundant success.

Water Works.

The JOURNAL omitted to state last
week in connection with the water
rates that they are yearly.
Some have been puzzled to under
stand whether they are quarterly or
yearly, but little reasonable rehec-
ton would have convinced anyone
that as quarterly rates they would be
intolerable.
1t is the wish of the Town Council,
and the Water Board doubtless coin
cides. that everybody pay quickly as
possible the special tax. Interest will
fall due Jan. |, and the authorities
are anxious, of course, to be fully able
to meet it.
There are about 800 taxpayers in
town, about 300 of whom have volun-
tarily come forward and paid. These
are all poor people, too, as will be
seen in the fact that the aggregate
taxes paid do not amount to $4OO.
In order to meet the interest falling
due, therefore, Jan. |, it is positively
the duty of every taxpayer to pay the
tax at once. If the Bailiff has not yet
called, hunt him up. A duty cot''n-
thrifty performed is so much more
graceful in pose and effect than if
done grudgingly or, finally, under
compulsion.
The pipe line is going down in

notice.
As matter of fact the water is too
good for motor, sprinkling or purposes
other than drinking, cooking and

"aIle(I Back"

The Homecoming Star apologies for
an oversight:
We neglected to sympathize last week with
the dear people at Frostburg on the reappear-
ance of the Ledger'S ''Rambler." Surely
they are an oppressed people.
1t is the first ease of the kind where
such a return has happened without a
reward being offered
Hence advertising is no good.
But hold-there is a refutation OF
that subsequent remark right here
The same paper tells the following:
A jocular item in this paper several weeks
ago announced the establishment of a new
paper at Sang Run" This in itself was
nothing important, but the other day Post
master Dixon received large envelope APP
parently containing circulars, etc, and also
private letter from the Campbell Printing
Press Il Mfg Co.. New York City, addressed
to Frecdom From the Rings Homecoming, Md.
This was the name given to the new paper.
THIS makes the joke all the better, and is a
pointer for advertisers.

that the practice of pall-bearers removing
their hats III the open air should, in winter
at any rate, be abolished, and 1t appears a
sound one.
The Ne,os might have also intimated
to ministers the propriety on wintry
days of cutting short as possible the
burial service. For, after all, it is

Fishermen Propose Plan of Campaisl
Against England

=
Against England.
New York, Dec. 30.-Capt. Peter J.
Bapson, of Gloucester, Mass, was the
first witness called before the Senate
committee on Canadian affairs which
net here to-day. AS the representa-
cation he ascribed the difficulty that
American fishermen have 10 secure
bait, under the relations now
existing. Mr.. Bapson claimed that the
treaty of 1918, allowing the people of
the United States TO proceed inland in
the fisheries, was entirely useless, in 30
much as a p ,rtion OF the rights under
it have been surrendered, and those
that remain are useless. Fishing YES
sells, the witness maintained, should be
allowed the same commercial prlvl-
leges as regularly registered vessels.
When asked bv Senator Dolph tor
remedy just at present, the witness
said that the only remedy he knew of
just at present was retaliation.
Deny commercial rights to Can
ada, abrogate the treaty of 1878
entirely rather than permit it to
exist. Make your laws for American
fishermen. Do as WAS done in Andrew
Jackson's time. Have your legislation
by Congress, and have an executive
strong enough, and American enough,
and brave enough to carry out these
laws.
Put their vessels here, under the same
restrictions as ours are there, and the
American will secure his rights"
