No Hair Splitting Here,

The JOURNAL wants to inform the Cum ber-
land Ne'cs that editorially the JOURNAL never
speaks ofitself "as an individual"
Locally it sometimes does-to make perfect
ly clear that it is not at a wedding, for iu-
stance, in an impersonal sense.
The legal editor of the Ne,CS, and the JOUR-
NAL knows his lingo, can give us no pointers
defining our duality, and all intimations to
that effect are IN the nature of motion that
is lost.
The JOURNAL is obliged to have due respect
for law as lawyers expound and administer
it, but from the moral side of view its freaks
frequently betray despotism rank with the
tyranny which purposely encourages ignor-
ance and Furnishes enlightenment.
No man, therefore in the Neus office, or
out of it, need draw for us the line OF
demarcation between proprietary and pro
fesslonal responsibility. Both morally and
legally, whatever the latter is, the proprietor
is responsible for the newspaper conduct OF
his agent
Were it not so Philip w. Avirett, and not
John w. Avirett, would have been made the
defendant in the great Observation-Disclosures
suit for libel of the four corners of the late

Constitutional Paradoxes.

Cumberland falls back with great conf
dence upon "the Constitution" when it comes
TO area for new county.
In the matter of hbels, however, the
organic law has no show.
Statutory law takes precedence.
The effect is
1, The new county is estopped for the want
terrtory-not of intelligence and virtue.
2, The liberty of the press" is enjoined be
cause it advocates the exercise of these quail
tiles in the interest of fair dealing and
economy.
So that, people of Georges Creek, you are
sensible enough, and aw-abiding enough to
have new county, but these essentials are
not at all Indispensable. You must haye
about 43 SQUARE miles more of desert
1t is wilderness that rules, not intelligence.
Down on the Eastern Shore even water

The Situation.

The constitutional limit in the matter OF
forming new counties is in the way-as the
supertices of Allegany and Garrett are re,
ported.
There is good reason to believe, however,
that surveys of a hundred years ago, more or
less, were not made with the care they are
now, and that re survey, honestly made,
would develop more than enough territory.
If the s33, 600 this region is giving to Cum
berland were properly considered, the saving
OF 1t would richly justify the re-survey.
If our people do not, however, feel like
making that investment, the next best thing
is to get the Allegany county-sea here.
With the Commissioners giving the people
legal opportunity to express themselves
and no division among ourselves as to loca
ton, we have got the votes and the money
to do it with.

Shall We Tan the Red Shale

Shall We Tap the Red Shale?
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Perhaps it is unnecessary to call
your attention to the fact that the
question OF adequate water supply for
communities large or small has been
regarded as of vital Importance to the
human race in all ages, and its proper
development has presented problems.
varying with sources Of supply and
local peculiarities, that have enlisted
enormous capital and the best en-
cheering talent of the world. Auti-
quarian research shows that the gov
ernments of great empires and king
doms recognized the importance of
this question and the ruins of their
aqueducts and reservoirs bear wit
ness to the care they exercised in
behalf of their people. In fact, the
limits of the ancient Roman Empire
may almost be traced by the water
works established for the public good.
The ruined acequias of Mexico and Cen
trail America, attributed to pre- his
toric race, are silent testimonials of
governmental care, and the innumer-
able watertanks of India, established
by the government, alone render that
Empire habitable.
Coming down to later years we find
similar conditions existing in this and
other countries, and modern engineer
ing talent has solved many problems
and rendered easy what heretofore
seemed impossible. The great cities
of London, Paris, Berlin, and host of
others on the continent, are supplied
from the most available sources, and
great care is exercised by the use of
enormous tilrer-beds to insure the
purity of the water The history of
Chicago in this respect is remark

Nothing to Defend,

1t is a good trait of character to see in
'livlduals stand mp for the interests of their
nome community. No one finds fault with
the people OF Frostburg for doing that but
1T the same time the newspapers of Cumber-
land are expected to defend the county seat,
and they are blamabe if they do not.-Cum-
berland News.
Wrong again.
1t is your fixed, unalterable duty to stand
up for the interests of the county.
1t is the standing up" for Cumberland all
the time that is the root of all the EVIL that is
going.
One has to SMILE however, at the notion
that anybody is blaming Cumberland papers
for defending the county-seat."
They have made no defence.
Having forfeited the countyseat by failing
to make vital provision for its safety, Cum
berland Is truly and wholly indefensble.
