Honor to whom Honor Is Due.

Mr.. EDITOR 81 trust that you will
permit me to take up enough space IN
your valuable columns TO correct a great
injustice that was done to number of
young gentlemen in an article which
was furnished you and which WAS pub
lished on Tuesday, April S0th. The
article referred To the recent exAmina-
tions that were held for filling the vacan-
cies in the Revenue Marine Service, and
it took from these young men standing
they fairly won. Some of them are well
known in Annapolis, being ex-cadets of
the Naval Academy, and the statements
contained in the article created genuine
surprise among their friends. Feeling
that honor should go to those to whom
honor is due, and that no correspondent
of yours should either ignorantly or mali
ciously make statements that do not ac-
cord due honor to those concerned,
make bold to quote the following which
appeared in the Baltimore Sun of April
Goth, last
"The competitive examination which
have been under way for the past week
have been finally completed and the av-
erages worked out. OF the total num-
Der examined, which includes five on the

THE Y. M. O. A. WORK.
Gratifying Results of state Secretary Lang's
Canvaxa.


Canvass.
The local branch of the Young Men s
Christian Association has, during this
week been engaged In a canvass for funds
TO reduce tie Indebtedness on its build
lug at State Ciecle and Maryland avenue
and has had the aid of +. w. Lang,
State Secretary of the Maryland Ass0-
Citations. The results have been very
gratifying and indicate growing APP
probation of the work. Mr.. Langgives
many interesting particulars regarding
the organization. Our local Association
Is one of 5000 of these organizations
scattered all over the world, having in
round numbers $4,000 members, with
millions of dollars worth of property,
the result of so years of growth. The
work was first organized simply as a
religious agency for young men, but this
wldened its scope until at present there
Is no need of young men for their bet
terment along the social physical, intel
lectual or religious lines that it does not
undertake to supply. Its methods of
work and consequently its results have
become more definate, railroads have
made it a regular department of their
system and pay large part of the an
nual expenses from corporation funds.
In colleges it has grown to such dimen-
sions that it is today by long odds the
largest college fraternity in the world.
The local organization made very de-
cided edvance step when it bought the
building it now occupies. The money
to pay for the property was borrowed
and is to be paid off as quickly as pos
sibly. The income from the rentals as
at present leased is sufficient to pay in
terest, taxes and insurance and as a
consequence the association has the very
e.eat advantage in this canvass of repre-
senting to those who are seen that all
moneys received go toward the reduc-
tion of the principal. 1t is hoped to pay
off about 81 900 tins year and by the
liberality of our citizens this can be done.

Short line stook WIN BE Taxed.

The placing an additional tax on the
roadbed and rolling stock of the Annap-
oils and Baltimore Short Line Railroad
will, it is said, not be insisted upon this
year by the Anne Arundel commission
ers, the company having previously been
assessed in Baltimore county. When
the proposition was made some weeks
ago a. levy an additional tax on the rail-
road General Manager Coombs complain
ed to the board that the company had
already been assessed in Baltimore coun-
ty, and while he was willing that Anne
Arundel should receive her full share to
which she was entitled by reason of the
road operating largely i'm the county, he
believed it too late then to make the
transfer. AS part of a compromise
said to have been entered into in the set
tlement of the matter, it is stated the
railroad will next year pay taxes on
about $4,000 of property in Anne Arun-
del, which now goes to Baltimore coun-
ty. A considerable part of this increase
in the taxable basis will be credited to
the second district, where the headquar-
tiers of the road will probably he located.
This is done, it is said, to escape paying
municipal tax, which would be neces-
sary were the car-sheds and other prop
erty of the company in Annapolis.
