Concerning a Yell for Help.

Somebody i'll Washington, talking to

| tell you the (democratic) leaders are as
Stunning responsibility which they certainly
do not fully appreciate when for any reason
whatsoever they fail to have the interests of
the party properly attended to, if at the same
time the rank and file of the party are denied
the opportunity to come to their assistance
before it is too late.
In other words, if the leaders don't
have ''the rank and file ''come down
with the dust, there will be a smash-up
defeat to record in November.
But where is the inducement, say in
Allegany county, for 'the rank and file
to contribute, when, after success those
same leaders give credence concerning
the loaves and fishes only to Cumber-
land bloodSucker?
Under such circumstances it is as
much as many democrats can do to
vote their ticket at all, much less con-
tribute money to promote its success.

The vault i'll Rose Hill cemetery, built
for the final resting place of the remains
of the Confederate soldiers buried in this
section, was finished Thursday of last
week.
"James Breathed Camp" says the
Cumberland Times, "under whose aus
pieces the vault was erected, are entitled
to praise for thus remembering their old
comrades, whose bodies have been rest
ing i'll out-of-theway graves for many
years" And to no soldier of the camp,
it may be added, is so much credit due
as to its commander, DR.. J. +. Zacharias.
For years the enterprise of assembling
the scattered bodies of his whilom ''com-
radeS of the gray" for Refinement in
some protected spot has been a dream
and a labor of love now reaching both
fultilment and accomplishment.

The Size of 1t.

Last week the JOURNAL reported an
enrolment of 1920 i'll Frostburg schools.
OF these about 600 are boys.
This week it reports the organization
of an anti-civil service club in town.
Which, boiled down, means that If the
600 BOYS who are attending school with
any purpose of fitting themselves for
holding public Office, at least 300 of them
are throwing away time that could be
more proftably put in the mine, shop or
saloon business.
These 300 are notified, i'll effect, that,
if they keep on going to school with a
view of qualifying themselves for hold
ing office, they will in the end find that
education has no rights wherever or
wherein illiteracy sets up prior claims.
For the whole aim and effect of the
anti-merit movement, whether the pro-
jectors intend it or not, is-that learn
ing is good enough as a qualification for
employment by merchants, tradesmen,
lawyers and school boards, but for the
uuIIic business it shall count nothing
against the paramount right of lgno-
ance to administer and execute the laws.
