Senators Hale. Roar and Caffery who

Paris treaty be discussed in open session.

to consider in open session. The peace
treaty with Spain is not one of them. A

If there is anything worse than bad egg it
is a bad dolar.-Cumberland T0,es
That is one of the soundest sound
money sentiments the JOURNAL has
read in a long time.
1t the Times will have the next State
democratic platform squeezed down
into that statement the party can be
reunited
"A bad egg is current until it is
found out.
But suppose the Times has a law
enacted which makes that egg current
after it has been detected. will it not
then be quite as bad as the ''bad
dollar legally forced into currency?
For it must be remembered that the
counterfeiter is the true, practical ex-
ponent of the unlimited, irredeemabe
currency theory. He is already on
the ground and at work doing by re-
tail what Mr.. Bryan and his friends
wish to accomplish by wholesale.

Some day soon after his Inaugural

the sutfragists of Wizard Hollow,
will have to issue some such notice to
anonymous complainants. The fol-
lowing are prospective samples:

SEMI-LOCAL NEWS.
Marked Comics.

One of life's petty annoyances is the re-
ceiving of unmarked newspapers in wrappers
that bear marked copy stamp. That the
omission to mark papers enclosed in such
wrappers is common to newspapers in
general is evidence of the fact that the Star
receives almost daily, one or more news
papers stamped marked copy" but which
are not marked. Because the marking is so
easily omitted is sufficient reason for extra
care in guarding against it.-Lonaconing

The JOURNAL believes the omission
is designed, the designer hoping to have
the whole paper critically scanned, a
task which busy newspaper man can
rarel Y undertake.

The Virginia legislature has passed bill

standard guage from Front Royal, Va, on
the Shenandoah Valley Division of the Nor

Girls.

U1fIS.
This is referred to the Frostburg JOURNAL
editor who is good authority on every thing
but politics: Why does the law in Maryland
discriminate in requiring young man to be
81 years old to be ''of age and girl but Is?
Does it mean that Maryland girls have as
much sense at Is as boys have at 81, or are
they three years faster, or what? Please an
swer in ful.-Cumberland AHegania.
Yes-that is about what it means
"Maryland girls have as much sense
at Is as boys" of other States "have at
2l."
When, however, Maryland girl of
Is tackles Maryland boy of u then
Greek meets Greek"
1t is thought by the highest legal
authority accessible to the JOURNAL
that the laws concerning "age" were
primarily based upon the cyclic theory
in early physiology. These pre-sup-
posed 3! years-half the mystic num-
ber-of physical precocity in favor Of
the girl, but the law makers made it
round Is instead of liz, using the frac
ton against her, as usual.
But even now it depends upon the
girls status whether in many instan :es
she is "of age at IS. If married, she
can, for instance, join in conveying
real estate at that age, but, single, she
cannot do so until she is 81. And so
on.
But, as indicated, all laws that set
bounds to the Maryland girls quail
tiles, capacities and aspirations are
necessarily unfair, unjust and, what is
worse, ungalant. For she is the
highest type of human femininity, the
creme de Ia creme of the order of creation
next below the angelic, and, withal,
sweet and pretty in her tyranny.
Hence, the man at any age who in
vests his heart in a Maryland princess
makes no mistake.
If, on the other hand, he invokes an
aboriginal law against her, he is apt
to find out that he has
Committed an error
That will be terror.
