He came to tell "the miners of ole

Gov. Roosevelt is versatile chara G.

For this reason il is a pity his recep-
ton here did not accord IN enthusiasm

But he made the most of it. He
spoke with great deliberation, choos-
ing his words with discriminating care
and using his hands with graceful
emphasis.
The applause generally started on
the car, Senator McComas leading.
There is no man anywhere knows

Watch This.

There was time not long ago when
the Cumberland independent deemed a
proposal to ascertain whether a candi-
date for States attorney would, if elect
ed, construe his oath of office as oblig-
ing him to prosecute all Violations of
anti-pollutlon laws, as out-of place.
little short of outrageous. Indeed, the
independent then thought the attorney
had no discretion. There is the law
enforce it,"
Now. however, that intimations I'M
peaching John G. Wilson as whole
sale anti polluter have been made by
people with more tongue than
gumption, the independent has "chang
ed tack" and insistently presumes that
Mr. Wilson is enthusiastically guilty.
Indeed, it appears that nothing will
satisfy the independent and the faction
it represents but an out-spoken decla-
ration by Mr.. Wilson that his oath of
office will not oblige him to prosecute
those who pour the II tons of green
vitriol, essences of dead wood and the
amalgamated pollutions of numberless
defilements and nameless poisons into
the Potomac. In short. they practic
ally dictate that his oath of office shall
blind HIM to all polluters other than
the owners of the pulp mills.
The JOURNAL does not know nor
does it care what attitude. if any, John
G. Wilson holds toward his duty as
prospective prosecutor of Potomac
pollution, but it belt YES he knows too
much and is too well grounded in the
equity of impartiality to swear favorit-
ism for any vlolatOr of the law.
But, however. all this may be, the
INDEPENDENTS tactics should put C eorges
Creek voters on their guard. Wholly
outside of party considerations, if
John G.. Wilson is to be slaughtered by
his party in Cumberland on the pre-
sumption that he will not prosecute
pulp mill pollution, the same conject-
ure should be good enough among
Georges Creek democrats to warrant
them IN voting for him.
If it is to be "Cumberland against
the Creek" the Creek can well afford
to take up the challenge.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
The present political campaign in
Maryland is unique in its character,
and one in which the citizens of West
ern Maryland have an extraordinary
interest. 1t started on the one side
that of the democracy, with the de-
clared intention of making it purely II
State-lssue campaign, and on the
other-the republican. with the in
sulting and "throwing down. of one
of the ablest republican leaders and
Senators of the State in the desperate
attempt of part of the old a llegany
county ring to pei petuate its power by
combination with a discredited ard de-
feated gang of politicians in BnIti
more city. 1t remains TO ha seen
whether the republican voters of the
Western Reserve of Maryland are will

minister the correct rebukc to Il gov
ernOr who will be hest remembered by
his selfishnesS and his ingraiitudn.
But my purpose in writing you is 10
call the attention of your readers
first, to the fact that the rakine over
of old issues and dead abuses have no
charm for the rising generation of
voters who have their faces turned to
the progressive future. The republi-
can managers are trying to ride into
power again on rehash of dead issues.

Look Far as You Can.

All voters should look far in the
future as practicable when casting
their ballots.
For instance. there are people in
Frostburg who voted-some for Grover
Cleveland, others for William McKin
ley-who did not cote for some local
preferments that were made during
their administrations.
1t is an evil of our system that the
workingman loses his time to vote,
but the drones of political society,"
the honey-eaters of office, reap the
rewards of his sacrifice.

port. To such careful reading of
the following explanation is com
mended. and then vote for the amend
ment:
The Constitutional amendment in regard
to the increase of the salaries of the Judges of
Baltimore City which is to be voted for at the
coming election, can in no event cause any
additional expenditure out of the State
Treasury. The proposed amendment was
passed by the last General Assembly and
simply gives to the authorities of the City OF
Baltimore power to hereafter increase the
salaries of the judges in the City If the Mayor
and City Council see fit by ordinance to all-
thorize it,
The reason the residents of the counties
are called on to vote on a proposition in
which they have no personal or pecuniary
interest is-that the salaries which the city of
Baltimore pays to her judges is regulated by
the State Constitution, and that instrument
cannot be changed or varied without the
proposed amendment being first submitted
to the voters of the entire State. The press
of the city of Baltimore seems to be unani-
mously in favor of the amendment, and the
bar of the city desires it. AS it is only to give
power to the local authorities to regulate in
the future the salaries which they shall pay
their judges out of their own pockets, and is
merely comforting larger measure of home
rule upon the city of Baltimore. the residents
of the counties should yote for the amendment.
