THE iurv declared j. J. McGadN
"not guilty"
If poor Creegan had not been killeG
the people would conclude that there
was no problem hidden in the verdict
worth finding, or, when found, worth
solving.
THE Homecoming Star was mulcted
in nearly 500 last week-the result of
jury trial.
The Star committed a great mistake
in losing so much money.
Had the Star killed a man it would
have been let off real easy.
REPrEs' NTATIvE McComas proposes to co
operate with Senator German in an effort to
induce the general government to refund to
Frederick city, sMd, the 100000 obtained
from the people of that city by Early during
the war.-Cum berland News.
The two gentlemen "co-operate'
very frequently. In many conclusions
they are a perpetual unit-the main
one establishing Mr.. McComas' right
to beat any democrat that wants to
represent this district in Congress.
The Frostburg Ledger made its first
appearance last Saturday.
A copy was not sent the JOURNAL,
not even sample"
Hence, we have not SO much as an
invitation to subscribe.
But we learn from Homecoming that
"Frostburg was evidently not set on
fire" by the new paper, and our most
excellent department, dedicated to the
suppression of combustion, privately
affirms that its members have enjoyed
uninterrupted holiday all week.
THE venera bic bat gallant executive
of the Frostburg water company has
settled down to the conviction that
I've got to beat oder and them other fellers
again, and will do it worse this time than I
did before.
The Journal. thinks he is mistaken.
He has never been an issue in the
matter of more water for Frostburg.
He is not now.
The people beat themselves before.
They will not do 50 this time.
The JOURNAL at least is innocent of
ever having been licked by the Frost
burg water company in debate on
the question OF more water.
PEOPLE. read the report of the Aims
house Trustees.
No johbery in that
Ii furnishes a model of mana cement
for all future trustees and stewards,
whether of the almshouse or any
other department of the public ser
vice.
1t is pity in such cases that the
eXigencies of politics force Il change
of administration.
But as they do, we throw out this
challenge to all whom it may concern
that whosoever hereafter makes Il
better record than the late Almshousc
trustees and steward, OF as good. will
install himself in popular estimation as
Il friend Of the people who deserves
higher stations of trust and honor.
THE Hagerstown .NaH warns the
Legislature against extravaganza.
With wheat at only Is cents Il bushcl,
it contends that farmers will not look
with favor on waste Of the public
money.
The mil should get after the mllers.
Flour is just as high as when wheat
was a dollar a bushel, and will be lust
as high when wheat gets down to IL
half dollar.
Hence. the miller is getting nearly
as much for the wheat he puts into
flour as the farmer gets for growing
it.
In other words, the miller's machin-
cry is earning more money in much
quicker time than the farmers land g,
implements, buildings and labor-all
combined.
