\ Bad Practice,

"A question agltating newspapers
now is-whether it is then duty to
puff statesmen, otfice-holders and
ce.seekers
The Easton Md Ledger did not in
yite remarks from the JOURNAL, but
we will venture few.
1t is not the duty OF newspapers to
do this thing, especially in Maryland
under the existing regime of mediocre
statesmen.
In fact, but for the deplorable
slobber of the newspapers there would
be no ring, no ringmasters, nor any
clowns in office to-day.
And some people now in public view
would have never been known beyond
the horizon which bounds their vision.
The recent lavish references to
Gibson--a very ordinary man, for in
stance. were sickening. because ont of
all proportion to his mind and merit.
Meanwhile, men Of intellectual and
moral stature towering far above ring
aspirations and methods are discounted
as pretenders. and derided as traitors
to the party.
tits the exercise of this UNIV onted pre-
rogatiye Of the press--an institution
mistakenly said to be free, which
lately induced an American statesman
and writer to say:
The lying capacity Of the newspapers of
America is the most colossal exhibition OF
mendacty known in the world since the AL
mighty tumbled Lucifer over the battlements
of heaven. 1t is Stupendous 1t isillimitable;
it takes away the breath of simple virtue and
bewilders honest truth into paralysis; ii
threatens all our conceptions of primal right
and forbodes the destruction of civilization,
1t is new and terrible force in society OF
which antiquity knew nothing.
Even when political virtue is not ex-
pressly ostracised, il is great crime
to do it implicitly.
For the continual laudation of the
unworthy is to the worthy a continual
wrong.

Echo Answers Nav,

On the score of true economy there is no.
thing to do but to purchase the old works-if
they can be bought.-Lcdgcr.
''If they can be bought -
AS well say-if water will run down
hill.
But if there is any doubt about it,
is it not about time Council was seeing
whether purchase is feasible?
And whether Council will have any
say in the matter of fixing the price?
But the Council does not amount to
much in a deal with the old water
company. The latter can outwit
Council with both hands tied.
And then paralyze Council by in
timidation.
Witness alarm of Council with re-
ference to the spring to which pipes
are laid.
The old water company said nay.
And Council mayed.

a Frostburg lady wants the JOUR
NAL to roast the Council for not pre-
senting each of her sex III town with Il
lorgnette for finding the street cross

She is a considerable taxpayer and
feels that her money is lost.
The JOURNAL amends the request,
however, and asks for only one glass
that for the street supervisors use,
accompanied by inspiration sufficient
to induce him to let Frosts avenue
alone long enough to give the town
some attention.

Not Now

One blessed thing will follow the
purchase of the old water works-it
that otherwise deplorable event ever
happens.
The old water company will not
longer play the scarecrow non "hector
over our subjugated people.
Under the existing regime all the
company has to do is to dispute a
popular right and away it goes.
The town has just nerve enough to
take what the old company administers
no more.
A purchase of the old waterworks at
this time, therefore, would be most in
opportune.
We should wait for luck OF a new
generation-one or the other to put
some spunk in the Council.

soutache braid, and this extends to the
armpits on each side, leaving very
graceful drapery to the short basque.
The skirt is prettily draped, part of the

rest reaching around to the middle of
the back, where the fold falls in with
those laid back of the plat. The bottom
has border of black velvet, headed
with an overlay of narrow braid. The
manner in which the skirt is made forms
pleasing change from the severe out
lines so often seen now.
Many, and in fact most, dressmakers
now put large hooks ON the belts Of the
waists and basques, which hook into
eyes on the belts Of the skirts, and this
sustains the weight and also keeps the
skirt from sagging.
