To describe the feelings OF the hor-

Versions of the Bib'e.

The oldest copies of the Old and New
Testaments in Greek are the Codex
Sinaiticus and the Codex Vaticanus,
both Of which were written in the
fourth century. Next in age comes the
Alexandrian manuscript and the CodeS
Ephraeim, both of which are referred
to the fifth century. All of these were
originally complete Bibles, with the
Old as well as the New Testament. In
the history of the old Latin version al
most nothing is certain, save that it
originated in Africa, probably in the
second century. and that it assumed
such different forms in the hands of
transoribers that it Is to this day IN
certain whether several distinct YER
sions are not included in the general
name of the Old Latin. In the fourth
century the text Of the Old Latin had

Too Late

In response to those appeals from this city
the pulp mill people have always answered
that they didn't pollute the water, that Wills
creek was running the wrong way, &c.
These contentious no sane man living can
believe or have the slightest faith in. But,
nevertheless, that is what the pulp mill peo-
pie, and others speaking and writing for them,
have ontended.-Cumberland independent.
For itself the JOURNAL begs pardon.
This paper has never denied that the
mills polluted the rivera river, how
ever, already hopelessly ruin as a
domestic water supply.
OF the running upstream matter we
have known nothing, contending only
that there are conditions under which
water on one side will, III the course
of whirlpool revolution, run appar-
emily the wrong way" etc.
But it is probably too late for the
independent and its other prose- botches
to say it is sorry, but it cant be
helped" and all that, and Cumberland
poets may coin their grief into rhyme,
but the JOURNAL believes they have
driven Il great and valuable industry
from the county, taken livelihood
from hundreds, reduced property
values in IL populous neighborhood,
and, worse than all, given notice to
the world that "eXpansion" on the
upper Potomac is forever interdicted

"A Setback.

An attempt to pass representative
Bartholdt's bill for a commission to
investigate the pollution of water sup
plies, was made by that gentleman
Monday of last week, but the measure
was defeated.
Concerning the result the Baltimore
Sun reported Col. Pearre, who aided
Mr.. Bartholdt in brief speech, as
saying
the action the House is conclusive, and
as the bill could not be passed the committee
would not report his (Pearre's) bill at all He
seemed to think that any effort to obtain an
investigation of water pollution would be
futile at this session.
Mr.. Bartholdt, however, ''took a
contrary view," and said
he did not consider the action of the
House as final and would cali up the bill
again at the first opportunity and hoped for
its ultimate passage.
1t is plain to be seen, notwithstand-
ing, that the advanced thought of
commercialism has carried rivers as
drinking water sources of supply out
of mere provincial legitimism into
factorship of farther-reaching utilities.
No more laws restrictive of rivers to
domestic uses are wanted by the pro-
gressive statesman and liberal econo-
mist, and it is quite clear that those
still remaining are regarded as mere
idyls of the code-statutory songs
which should remain forever unsung.

cation, especially as means to train

Do this as a democratic tribute to the
same cause-a cause that should be
widely and broadly democratic, in the
true sense of the word, as practicable.
To Ger. Smith,:
When the Legislature has passed the
bill, sign it for the same overpowering
reasons.
Otherwise, gentlemen, you will have
erected monument here that will
memorabilia democratic contempt for
popular education for generations.
Don't assume that it is not needed,
but under the modern, virile regime of
the proposed new State Board of Edu-
cation, give this school chance to
prore for ITSELF that it is needed.

disparaged by the utterly false pre-
tense that it is "double taxation
