A Point Well Taken.

Speaking of the measure which pro
poses to turn all the revenues from
liquor licenses imposed in Baltimore
city over to the treasury of that city,"
the Cumberland NeooS of Wednesday
concludes with this paragraph:
A big mass meeting was held in Baltimore
last night to promote the claim and the Balti-
more city press are looking out for home in
terests, irrespective of politics, but this ques-
ton is one where the county press, irrespec-
tive of politics, should be equally Jealous in
explaining 1.-THE other side"
There is great deal too much of
that sort of thing when it is considered
that the ultimate benefits of nearly all
trade gravitate from the country to
the cities.
That is prime reason why the
JOURNAL steadily contends that cities
should be less grasping of special
favors from legislative and admins
trative bodies. The centres should be
content with their natural accretions,
leaving the surplusage, U0ny, where 1t
is produced.
For instance, people talk of the
overpowering Importance to city and
state of the Johns Hopkins University.
1t is big thing for the city-that is
sure, but to the State it Is not half so
important as a road system based upon
constructive ideals high as those
which rule in legal, medical and other
professional areas of advancement.
The university turns out civil en-
gineers, it is true, but they rarely
serve apubllc whose money has gone
to graduate more engineers.
Hence, it is believed by many peo-
pie, and very justly, that the appro-
priation Of public money to endow
schools of college and university
grades is not warranted by the spirit
of that portion of the organic law
which, in mandatory terms, directs
the establishment "MrOughom the State"
of "a thorough and efficient system of
free publjc schools"
This diversion of the peoples money
from educational purposes not indi-
Gated in the Constitution is wrong
emphasized by the statement, now Or
dinarily made in Annapolis, that an
other school IN the State for the train
ing of teachers is ''entirely unneces-
sary''-"unnecessary," probably. be-
cause it is not in the city, and ZEN
tirely' SO because the State, rich
enough to endow the iich, is too poor
to carry out in the education of the
poor the true intent of its organic law

Still Forging the letters.

Mr.. Graetf has gone into the legal
lexicon business.
That is, he has introduced a bill
which "detines' pollution without
stating the definition, and to make it
assuredly destructive of great manu-
featuring enterprises above Cumber-
land, it provides that corporations
shall be liable to Imprisonment as we'll
as fine.
That is, the Legislature, the creator
of those soulless entities. is to provide
that its own inarticulate creatures
shall be jailed for putting in the river
anything that Cumberland decides is
nasty, or any corporate actuaity
Cumberland chooses to prosecute
The whole business rests with Cum
berland at last. Thus invested with
Imperial" discretion it will come to
pass that corporate owners of mines
who pour forth the essences of rotting
wood, nameless CONCENTRATIONS and
green vitrol will go scot free, while
only manufacturing enterprises at
bases of fuel and raw material supply
will be forever interdlcted.
And the worst of all is-Cumberland
can levy upon the resources Of the
very people for the sacrifice which de-
stroys them.
When, therefore, this bill reaches
the Senate Mr.. Dick should see to it
that Cumberland shall look to the
General Government for whatever re-
lief she claims.
For it is manifestly and grossly I'M
just to Allegany county to be shut off
from privileges enjoyable by West
Virginia simply because the latter
cannot be reached by a ready-made
edict of the Maryland Legislature.
Mr.. Dick, if it be within your power,
persuade the Legislature not to tie the
hands of its own people until the gen
eral government on the same pretext
manacles the people Of West Virginia.
In palmer words, so long as Cum
berlaud cannot prevent the establish
ment of pulp mills on the West Vir-
glnia side of the river, so long should
that town not be permitted to destroy
the Maryland side as a situs for such
Industries.
