Old Things Passing Away.

"And Old Miner" writing in the
Homecoming Regieo of the American
coal company's new rule of lone day
off for the funeral only" thinks it
"uncalled-for and unhuman." The
first reason given for this notion is
There is no man who works in the bowels
of the earth, but has dread to enter the
MINES when misfortune befals his fellow
man.
How much more danger is there in
entering the mine next morning after
the accident than the next morning
after the funeral :?
Or, we might ask-why does not
the dread keep him out forever?
Again:
1t has been the custom as long as l can
remember to lay off work until the deceased
was laid into his final resting place.
1t used to be the custom to do many
things now obsolete. But foolish
superstitions are passing away and
sensible views are taking their places.
In time there Will be no suspension
whatever, except to attend the funeral,
and the ''feeling and human respect
for unfortunate craftsmen will take
shape in something making the widow
and fatherless feel that their lost bread
winner held high place in the esteem
of his sympathizing fellows.

The Coal Trade.

A perceptible Improvement is man
ifest in the soft coal trade. 1t springs
from the usual fall demand, and gives
assurances of a brisk market. Up to
present time it has not been seriously
manifest, owing to a slack demand for
coal now that this latter is strength
ening, it is apt to be more seriously
felt, Notwithstanding it has had a ben
eficial effect on the market, inasmuch
as it has prevented overstocklng.
Prices are firm. There is ten
dency on the part OF the companies
handling the best Goals to ask slight
advance. However. on the whole. the
rates remain as fixed us in the spring !;
neither are higher prices expected
during the fall and winter. The bus
mess doing is almost entirely on con-
tact The little new business offered
is that which is leaving the anthracite
market, winter supplies for shoal
water point, and the inland trade. AS

an office in London, having recently sent

is brought about by the continued growth of
British interests in Southern investments and
the consequent expansion of the circulation
and influence of the Manufacturers Record
in Great Britain. BY means of its London
connection English investors will be kept
more thoroughly informed as to the resources,
the investment opportunities and the progress
of development in the South, while the South

The plan of compelling the Barton
school girls to write 80 words on the
blackboard every time they are caught
chewing gum will have to be abandon
ed. 1t costs too much money to buy

But he was born in Pompey, and all the

his nationality. At last accounts one
had found a clue in the good old rule of
"Position,' which involves a hypo-
thetical statement in proportion"
and it was generally believed he was
on the right track to solution which
would reduce the popular suspense to
safe altitude.
An astronomer says "the new de-

An Omen Letter.

To LconioldS j. Parker, registrar:
In an article published in the Frost
burg JOURNAL last week it appears
that the cost for printing the correc-
tions in No. 6. last year $1,000, will be
this year $3.50
AS | understand it, this reduction is
due to the independent course of the
registration officer in No. 8.
Last year the cost for printing your
corrections was $26.l5. This year it
ought not to exceed 1926.
Now why cannot you follow Mr.. De-
Vecmon's example and reduce the cost
Of your printing to one-third of the
figure charged by the combine?
Don't you think you owe this as a
duty to the tax-ridden people of the
county?
Don't you think the spirit of your
oath as public official obliges you to
make all the expenses of your Office as
small as possible
Or do you think the registration Of
fees of this county are private snap
for the combine
These questions are not written to
give you pain. They are proposed to
your conscience as good citizen
rather than your feeling as partisan.
In the latter case | would appeal in
vain. Therefore, go to yonr better
nature.
These questions are proposed
through you to all registrars except the
independent and patriotic Mr.. Devec-
mon.
| will ask one more:
If you cannot consider the interests
of the people as paramount to the well
fare of Messrs. Avirett and Ham
bright, would it not paw you and your
fellow registrars to resign and let in
men who think the other way

Twenty Years Ago

On Wednesday, Sept. 20, 1871, the
first type was set for the JOURNAL.
And by the editor hereof.
Then, as now, the JOURNAL was an
Independent paper.
Thirty-seven bona .fde subscribers
were supplied with the first issue. Of
these only nine are living, viz:
Owen Hitchins Rev. V. F. Schmitt,
A. f. Hitchins, James Kane,
W. H. Koch, B. Stern,
Fred. Johnson William Thomas
c. H. Walker.
The other twenty eight have joined
"the silent majority
Were the JOURNAL in reminiscent
mood there is much more could be re-
called, but with all its age the great
paper is not old enough to live in the
past
Having done more to give Frost
burg a name and fame in the land
than any other institution, there is
much vet to do, and it is still young
enough to do it.
SO, leaving the past, we keep a
steadfast eye upon the future with the
hope that in the unexampled growth
of the current era there is substantial
token of solid and durable city.
1t is part of our mission, as hereto
fore, to encourage its growth by per-
suading people to believe it deserves
to grow.
Hardly less attention has the JOUR
NAL given to promoting the true in
terests of the Georges Creek coal 1e-
gion-a name almost unknown in
market "twenty years ago"
But it has come to pass that only
one fuel can be sold as Georges
Creek coal" while half dozen
varieties enjoy co-equal right to be
dubbed cumberland coal"
There is more yet to do, and, life
and health permitting, we shall do it.
