Oh, no ! you mean in the parks and sub

scattered that ii is necessary to ride to them.
Such talk is silly. One fourth Of the people
in Baltimore. perhaps, over ten years of age
ride bicycles, and to 90 TO church or Sunday
school ON them would cost nothing, and yet
il is probable that not one-tenth of the people
attend church on Sunday.

MINORITY Representation.

Minority representation, which Is SO loudly
called for by certain newspapers OF BALTIMORE
can be only demanded upon the suppostion
that the majority would be corrupt and needed
watching. 1t also pre- -supposeS the minority
would always he honest and upright. In the
change of politics if the minority should be-
come the majority then the minority weuld
be corrupt and the majority would be pure.
How ridiculous this is, and vet jor ais claim
ing eminent wisdom and an over-pus oil hon
eSty have the audacity 10 argue for minority
representation in the Baltimore police board.
The man who does not believe in govern
ment bv parties in republic does not believe
in a republican form of government. And
he who believes that partisanship precIudes
honesty is not honest himself. The fact Is,
man who is not II partisan on principles Is not
fit to hold any office. The man who does not
take enough interest in public affairs to
have decided opinion, is not competent to
administer public Office.
Minority representation on the police board
of Baltimore, so far as nonpartisan govern
ment would go, would he mere pretence.
The majority members would have full and
absolute control, and it would be more pleas
ant for the members, and perhaps better for
the force, if the whole board were ofthe same
political faith.
Bipartisan rale would not be bipartisan
rule, unless the representatives Of the two
parties were equal in brains and capacity.
The Democrats of the Legislature should
heed no plans for minority representation on
the Baltimore police board. Gov. Lowndes
can be counted upon to appoint two extreme
partisan Republicans and the minority mem
Der wonld be some burlesque Democrat who
would meet the endorsement of the San and
Ne,rs, the chief Republican organs.

Constantly on the Alert is the
Only Guarantee of the
Future.

When we hear of a burglary in
our neighborhood, we always take
the most careful precaution to fas'
ten and lock up our premises.
When we read danger" sign we
head its warning. None but the
reckless rush into dangerous places
unless compelled by necessity, and
still thousands upon thousands re-
ceiVe a note of warning daily, a
danger signal of deep import, and
do not give it a passing thought.
A little backache, twinge, or
pains in the back, are not very hard
10 bear at first. but they're a warn
ing, danger signal of what's COM
ing. Most backache pains are due
to urinary disorders; pass them By
unnoticed, and the kidneys become
more troubled. In time urinary
complaints, Bright's disease and
death result. Be ever watchful OF
a backache. A few doses of Doan's
Kidney Pills taken at the proper
time will save future trouble, per-
haps life itself.
Mr.. VIM. Geren, of 4oS Harmar
street, Marietta, Ohio. foreman of
the painting department at Kelly's
Carriage Works, says: II was
troubled with my kidneys after 1
started to work at painting, and I
had to take medicines all the time
to counterfeit the effect ofthe chem

!. Richard Wade. the drayman,
is quite indignant today and all on
account of hand satchel. Yester-
day evening Mr.. Wade was at the
depot when the train came in, and
when a gentleman alighted with
two hand satchelS, Wade asked him
if he wanted them taken over to
the city. The gentleman replied
that he wanted them taken 10 the
Hotel Wells. Wade took the satch
els, placed them on the platform by
his side ard commenced looking for
other passengers who might have
baggage to haul over into the city.
AS the train pulled out man picked
up one of the satchels left in charge
of Wade and boarded the train, so
of course Wade was left. He paid
four dollars and Fifty cents for the
satchel and he thinks the man who
carried it away is the meanest man
on earth. 1t was certainly very
slick trick. The satchel will no
doubt be located in a few days in
that highly moral village Al miles
south Of our booming city.

Attorney General Racksr Enumcrates
Few Desired Ones

Charleston, w. Va, Dec. H.
Attorney General Edgar P. Rucker
says that he favors amendments to
the State constitution. The con-
stitutional committee has prepared
amendments which will be offered
to the Legislature for adoption or
rejection. Attorney Gen. Fucker
thinks the following changes
should be made in the constitution.
I. A change in the judiciary sys-
tenn. The Court of Appeals should
consist of five judges instead OF four
and they should be paid 81. 900 in.
stead OF s., 200.
2. The circuit judges should be
increased in number from IS to Is
and each receive S. instead Of
81, 800.
3. The state officers salaries
ought to be changed as follows:
Governor should receive 81 900 In
stead of $500; secretary of state,
5000 instead of 1000; auditor.
So 900 instead OF s., 900; $1,000 to
the attorney general instead of
81 300, same to treasurer instead of
81 400, and same to superintendent
of free schools, instead OF 81 500.
d. The criminal law should be
changed so as the state could take
a writ of error from the lower TO-
higher court In criminal cases.
S. The doctrine of "once in jeop-
ardy" should be so amended as to
not apply in cases of mistrial.
6. The pardoning power ought
to be taken from the governor and
placed with the supreme court or
board of pardons.
7. Pardons should be limited to
the cases where the facts seem to
Justify clemency.

The J. T. Jones No. 10 Archer is

barrels.

No. II Archer,
The Carter Oil company's No. .
Day, in the southeast extension OF
the Wilson run pool, which was re-
ported yesterday by a contempor-
airy as a "gusher." is probably good
for production of SO barrels daily.
This information came to US last
evening from person who had re-
turned from the lease in question.
The development is important,
however, in so far as it is the first
we'll of any account in this terri
tory coming from the Cow Run.
The producing wells there are
either in the Big Ipjun or Berea
grit.
J. W. Henderson was in the city
last evening and stated, so we I'm
derstand, that No. I Reishman al
Wilson run is showing up for q
daily production of IS barrels. This
result is good, but tails for below
the expectations at the time the
we'll was drilled.
Stewart & Co.'S No. I on the
Barker farm in Peasants county is
a revelation in that territory, and
will be a stimulus for extensive
operations there. This we'll is
practically a wildcat, as there are
no producing wells in that vicinity.
1t has been flowing about eight
barrels day in the Maxou sand
for the past two years. This week
1t was drilled into the Big Injun,
and the day 1t was shot made a
production of 100 barrels in twenty.
four hours. Since then it has been
keeping up this gait. This lease is
situated between Bsns Run and
Raven Rock.
Stewart & CO. have rig finished
on the Holdren Bros. farm and Jas
McCoach has made a location on
the Jos. Holdren farm.
Yesterday A. J. Yoke leased the
w. A. Beagle farm, two and one
half miles back from Friendly.
There are producing wells all
around this property.
Boyer & Co.'S No. I Stevens al
Paden's Valley was to have been
drilled in yesterday but the line
froze up and nothing in this direc
tion could be done. The we'll will
probably be drilled in Monday.
c. F. HI. ford & Co.'S No. 2
Harvey at Elk run is expected in
this evening. Mr.. Hosford has
been on the lease for the past two
days.
= L. A. Brenneman, receiver, has
finished the rig for No. 4 Wood. in
the northeast extension of the Elk
Fork pool and began spudding.
Yoke, Buyers & CO. s No. 2-24 c.
c. Fluharty. will be drilled in today.
George A. Shryock & Co.'S No.
1 wildcat on the Woodburn farm,
near Middlebourne, will be drilled
