THE grand jury report is a court
paper to be proud of.

All concerned are to be congratula-

Somehow the men who happened to
get on the jury are above the average
in independence, courage, and, most
likely, intelligence.
Which accounts for tie unusual crop
of misdemeanors harvested and gar
nered for grinding in the courtroom.

The wafer bill Is so consistent all
through and symmetrical all round
that those Councilmen vino opposed
certain features of it found that they
could hardly vote against any part
without destroying the whole.
AS representatives of the people it
was understood that no one could afford
to make himself known as the servant
Of the Frostburg water company. and
there being no middle ground. a huge
quandary presented itself right in
front of whoever wanted to find a flaw
big enough to fill a mares nest. In
the obscure verse of Robert Browning
there was an apparent inclination to
Search in and out and round about,
And thus discover never
A clause so full of every doubt
All probable, feasible shadow of doubt
All possible doubt whatever
But it is a great strain upon an ordinary
intellect to look several times all the
way through haystack of Legislative
lingo to find something that isn't there.
THE London Standa1d asserts that a
double chin is sure indication of good
sense and strong character. The
JOURNAL knows it because there are
fmanv" double chins in Frostburg.
Here is proof from the Homecoming
iStnr:
In Frostburg on Christmas day the JOUR-
NAL as a building was decorated with two L.
5. flags in honor of the couuty's one hun.
dredth birthday. The JOURNAL as paper
had gotten out its centennial issue several
days before Therefore, many Frostburger=
cannot see why the JOURNAL as a paper does
not agree with the JOURNAL as building as
TO dates.
Now let the "Frostburgers" with
twofold chin step into the Sur office
and st te their blindness on any Other
fool subject in which they may have
deep interest.

In very timely editorial article the
Westminster (Md.) Adoocate points out
an opportunity for economic reform.
1t takes its text as follows:
Delegate Rich, of Baltimore county, has
obtained leave to introduce a bill in the
House of Delegates which provides that the
detailed statement of expenditures which tho
County Commissioners in the different coun-
ties are now compelled to make out and pub
lish each year shall be submitted to and ex-
amined by the grand juries of the different
counties, and that in making such eXamina-
ton the grand juries may, under an order of
court. employ competent and skilled ac-
countant.
After disappearing of the proposal
as both useless and expensive, the Id
rocate concludes
If Mr.. Rich wants to serve public interests,
and reduce public expenditures let him pro
pose bill to reduce the mem bership of grand
jurles to a number not exceeding twelve and
their pay to one dollar and a-half day, and
the per diem of petit jurors to like sum.
Grand !iuries would do better work in short
er time, and one dollar and a-half day is
ample pay for jurors. by such reduction
in numbers and per diem of jurors, not less
than $1,000 would be saved to the taxpayers
of Mr.. Richs county. and $500 would be
saved to the taxpayers of Carroll. In every
county there would be considerable e iuc
ton of court expenses.
If there is member of the Ale
gany count delegation who wants to
distinguish himself by affording some
real service to the people he represents,
here is the cue.
Let him remember, too, that while
he is reducing the pay of jurors he is
diminishing the size of the only object
which induces unworthy and incom-
petent men to seek the performance of
jury duty.
