stock market was almost unrelieyed by any
feature Of interest until the last hour, when q

of their soliciting and the results they
wish to attain. Any one who is earnest
and sincere in their desire for advance
ment will find many interested listen
ers to the story Of their ambition, no
matter where they may go.
out-of-Town Contestants.
Candidates continue to register their
names on the books as contestants. and
some are from long distance from
the city. But the out-of- town partici-
pants realize the fact that they stand
as good a show to be on the top of the
list at the ending of the contest as the
Scrantonians who have entered. One
reason for this is that, although the
held is more limited the contestants
are also fewer in proportion to the
number of Inhabitants, and that a
young man or woman in the country
knows every one in the village per-
sonally. and that local pride will stimu-
late his neighbors to try and have the
winner come from their home.
Not Too Late to Enter.
Again The Tribune desires to call at
tention to the fact that it is not vet
too late to enter and forge to the front
among the leaders. No one of those
already at work is in the van SO far
that he cannot be overcome by por-
sistent and determined effort. 1t is

ToIce authorities SenSurable.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Having noticed with much regret the pub-
lications in all the newspapers. which by
innuendo place the death Of A A. Johnson
as due to a brawl in which he was en-
gagged. presumably due to drink, l wish to
deny the statement entirely, and think 1t
but due to his bereaved family that you
publish the following:
That brutal murder was committed is
not for a moment to be doubted and if the
writers of the news items had seen poor
Johnsons bruised and battered condition
not one of them could have doubted that
his untimely death was caused by a mob
OF drunken roughs, as no one man could
have beaten man into the fearful condi-
tion he was in in the short time which
lapsed before assistance reached him
Friends and acquaintances who had been
with him continuously during the afternoon
and evening state that he had no quarrel
Whatever, and this statement his friends
believe from their intimate knowledge of
his well-known peaceful character
Ihat the police department, through
Lieutenant Amiss, has been guilty of a
grave error in allowing the man Anderson
that the crime was committed in another
jurisdiction should only be an incentive to
greater activity on the part of our local
police force, as otherwise 1t IS feared that
another murder will go unpunished, as the
Maryland authorities will, no doubt LET
the matter drop. w. r. LAPHAM

THE MURDER OF A. A. JOHNSON.
The Authorities of Montgomery Co.
Md, Responsible for 1t.


To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The conditions at Cabin John bridge have
been going from bad to worse, until they
eliminated last Sunday in the murder of
young man, who appears to have been the
main support of his mother and family.
There were thousands of people out there
who after drinking all day. many of them,
We're perceptibly under the influence of
liquor, and toward evening quarrels and
fights We're numerous.
The two main public bars were run wide
open. violating the local option law of
Montgomery county, and the Sunday law
of the state of Maryland. OF the latter we
fail to hear of any action being taken by
the authorities of Montgomery county;
therefore, by their derelicton to their
sworn duty they are virtually responsible
for the murder of the young man.
If the Sunday laws can be enforced in
Baltimore and Washington, it is very
strange If they cannot be Just as rigidIy
enforced in any part of Maryland if any
effort Is made with such end in view
The Star has previously called attention
to the existing state of affairs at Cabin
John bridge and that vicinity, and we are
credibly informed that the attention of the
court and other authorities at Rockville
has been called to the general Sunday
carousing that takes place there continu-
ouSly.
Will the above cited authorities take
warning and put stop to the whole dis
graceful and disreputable business? S.

in the way of such taxation, notably in

to such an extent that it seemed TO be alb
solutcly necessary that cognizance should
be taken of it, The president said il was
hardly to he believed that the storm of un-
