German the Issue.

According to Mr.. John j. Sonny
Mahon and other Baltimore Demo
Gratis Senator German is to be the is
sue in next fall S election in this State.
That, presumably, means the issue
between the Democrats and Republi-
cans, not among Democrats them
selves. If Mr.. Germans Baltimore
friends are correct he is to receive an
ante election endorsement and his
election. as United States Senator to
succeed Senator Wellington, is to fol-
low in tie event of Democratic vic
tory. In some directions Mr.. German
is strong man. He has been regard
ed as an astute political leader, but
his methods were open to very severe
criticism, not only by the Republi-
cans. who were frequently defrauded
of the just fruits of their ballots by
repeating, false counting, violence at
the polls and other means counseled
by him, but also by many of the best
men of his own party, who became
weary of his dictatorship and dis
gusted with the unblushing rascality
that marked almost every election in
the State while he held the undis-
puted power of party leadership.
The famous Carroll county resolu-
tions in which German and German
ism were denounced as hostile to the
rights of the people, and the fervid
speech of the chairman of the Demo-
cratic County Central Committee,
Mr.. B. F. Grouse, in the same vein,
have not been forgotten. The tyr
amy of Gormanism is still remem-
bered by many Democrats, as well as
by the entire Republican party. The
danger that that tyrannical rule will
be revived in the event of Mr.. Cor
mans endorsement by a Democratic
legislature, may go far towards pre-
venting that legislature from becom-
ing Democratic.
The brief reign of Republicanism
in Maryland witnessed many reforms,
not the least of which was the adop
tion of an election law which serves
as a barrier against the resuscitation
of Gormanism and German methods.
1t seems hardly possible that the peo'
pie of this State are prepared to place
renewed power into hands by which
it was so grossly abused in years gone

glasses in order to get correct per-
spective
His distorted views he takes as real,
and from them argues that the world
is not what it should be and that it is
in great need of the remedies which
he would like to prescribe for its all
ments.
AS matter of fact, the world is all
right, and the individual who thinks
it all wrong will find, upon examin-
ing himself, or, better still, having a
doctor do it for him, that his attitude
of mind and body needs to be brought
into adjustment with the rest of hu-
manity. The man who enjoys life,
who likes to meet his fellow beings
and to participate in the affairs of his
district or his country, finds good in
everything except positive sin. The
whole tone of the successful life should
be confidence, hope, effort, striving,
and constant optimism. The man
who believes he is going to succeed
and keeps that conviction clearly be-
fore him almost always wins. 1t is
true that occasional dreamers fall in
attempting too great heights, but
that no more disproves the value of
of effort than the few tragedies of
mountain climbers show that there
are no prosperous and happy villages
along the mountain sides.
Possibly the most famous advice
that Emerson gave was to "hitch
your wagon to a star" And the idea
holds good today as well as it did
twenty years ago. 1t will last through
all eternity.
The man who aims high and works
hard and believes in himself is the
one who is going to win in the face
of all conditions and discourage
ments.-Webster Wallace, in Satur-
day Evening Post.

Damaged By Wind

Saturday night fierce wind hit
the town of Westernport and blew
down a considerable portion of the
brick walls of the two story building,
being erected there for the Maryland
Automobile Manufacturing Company
by J. w. George, contractor.
The building was ready for the car
penters, the brick work being about
completed. The loss is fully covered
by a tornado policy, taken out with
the Glen Falls Insurance Company,
being the first of the kind ever taken
out in Allegany county. The dimen-
sions of the building are 200 by 70
feet, one story high. The insurance
was So, 500 and was carried by Lowndes
and Seaver, who went to the scene
and haye made the loss good.

Books For Christmas.

The Importance of books as Christ
mas gifts is emphasized this year
more than ever by the extent of the
publishers advertising and the per-
sistence with which they present the
charming features of binding and IL
lustration that make modern books
such wholesome and inspiring exam
pies of dainty taste in art. The great
est difficulty presented to the man or
woman who attempts to make Sc
lection is the embarrassment of riches
contained in the book announce
ments. The books for the young are
especially numerous, and yet of all
classes of literature this is the field in
which the most difficulty is experience
ed in making a selection. The work
of the illustrations appears to be bas-
ed upon the theory that the modern
child is only satisfied with the odd
and grotesque. Sometimes this is car
ried to the extreme of the horrible in
ocslSH, WueT6dS Ulle Icttl ucllSlp VI
the natural child of taste and culture
is for the rich and beautiful in illus
tration as well as adornment. Writers
and illustrators of childrens books
make also the grave mistake of writ
ing and drawing down their audience.
The children of the day have ''gump-
ton enough to detect Stiffness in
text and illustration as quickly as
their elders. A great improvement
in the quality of children's books
could be accomplished by taking
thought of the fact that children do
some thinking on their own account
and that they are not to be fooled by
silly or grotesque pictures or childish
appeals in verse or prose to their un-
dersandings. The book that is really
beautiful, in thought and ideal, will
almost invariably please and satisfy
the average child.

Now that Mary Yellen Lease has
brought an action for divorce against
her long suffering spouse, we would
suggest that she and William JenS
nings get together and organize the
atrical company, Bryan to pose as
the disinherited son and Mary Yellen
to take the part of the clinging vine.
What a hit that would make, to haye

Eloped and Were Married.

The Cumberland NeaOS this morn
ing conveys the information that "Mr.
H. F. Kahl and Miss Mayme E.
Thomas, both of Johnstown, Pa,
were married late last night at st.
Pauls Lutheran parsonage, this city,
by Rev. Theodore J. Yost. Mr.. Kahl
is well known in Cumberland, having
been a clerk in the store of J. G. San
ders & Co., several years before the
firm went out of business. Mr.. Kahl
came to Cumberland yesterday morn
ing. Miss Thomas arrived last night
on train No. As, which was several
hours late, parental objection having
been of no avail. The young groom
was given much concern by the late
ness of the train, fearing that his
bride might have been intercepted.
His fears were groundless, however,
and the couple once together, a license
was issued by Deputy Clerk Thomas
A. Leonard and they were happily
Joined in wedlock.
The groom is former resident OF

The Man Who Gets Tieed,

The other day there was published
a little sketch in one of the papers
about a newsboy who had done his
best in the world, and after all his
trials had ex claimed, There amt no
good in nothin'." 1t was the despair
of childish pessimist, but in its way
it reflected some of the modern
thought.
The man who tries and gets tired,
and then, because of his WEAKNESS,
upbraids the world and all that there
in is, figures rather largely in the lit
erature of the day. The great trou-
BILE with him is that he mistakes his
own tired feelings for the general con
dition of humanity, He is like per-

Important Industrial Development Ex-

The town of Bayard, on the West
Virginia Central railroad, promises
some extensive industrial develop
ments in the near future. For many
years large saw mill and tannery
have kept the town up, making it
busy village, but of late years the
working up of timber in the vicinity
has caused Bayard people to fear that
its future prospects were not all right.
However, the mill managers haye
purchased large new tract of timber
several miles from the town and ex-
tended tram road to it, the tannerv
which had closed down about year
ago, has opened up again, and, best
of all, the great coal veins, which un-
derlie the section, are being tested by

chased large tracts of coal land on the
Maryland side, and by the Davis Coal

To the "Garrett Journal"

The Journal, that chaste, clean and
bright armament of newspaperdom
of this section, wherein wisdom relgns
supreme and justice goes a-begglng,
where argument is unknown and ig-
norance runs rampant, where silly
twaddle and assertions without the
slightest pretexr for truthfulness are
a chief stock in trade, which sets a
pace for morality for its superiors in
every respect to follow and then hles
off into torrent of abuse if it is called
to time, suffered another hallucina-
sion last week over the resolutions
passed by the late teac hers institute
which severely, and we think, justly,
criticized its attitude towards the ed
ucational interests of this county,
and falsely accused us of publishing a
misstatement of facts.
When we published the resolutions
as a part of the proceedings of the in
stitute comment was made by us to
the effect that they were passed with
out a dissenting voice. This informa-
ton was conveyed to us by a gentle
man who only short time ago was
championed by the Journal for re-
sponsible position in the educational
work of this county We have no
doubt that the gentleman in question
had the most honorable intentions
when he so informed us and we have
nothing before us to change our opin'
ion of him except the bare assertion
of the Journal. Granting that one oi

in single tract in Garrett county,
just above Bayard. Nine test holes
have been put down on this tract, and
although nothing has been given out
the result is believed to have been en-

that coal exists at Bayard in immense

Tunic cloth is; a material that deserves
taken them up again. In the early spring
there We're a few belts and some gold

It is a season of laces. fine and of the
heavier grades. Vallenciennes lace is the
popular ace for narrow trimmings. such
as fischus and ~ruffles. but in the piece
laces there are varieties just as fine yet
more decided. Lierre lace is much worn.
SO also are Cluny and Chantilly. All the
Russian laces are in style Inc a magni-

there is sewn a very light weight gold
tissue which CLEANS prettily through. In
the handsomest gowns there may be

Not long ago Mr.. Vanderbilt gave his
daughter another half million for the
house.
The Duke. of Marlborough was one of
four dukets to go to war in South Africa
Marlborough, Norfolk, Roxburghe and
Northumberland was the first of them
to volunteer. VT
When the Boer war began Marlbor-
Ough was a lieutenant in a yeomanry
(gentaemen's home guard of cavalry
regiment called the Queens Own OK
fordshire Hussars, whose colonel is tho
Prince of Wales. With $50 of his men,
younger sons of country gentlemen, he
volunteered last December. He was no.
titled by the war office on the 28th Of
that month that his offer to serve in
South Africa as a captain of imperial
yeomanry was accepted. Three weeks
later he was appointed a staff captain
of imperial yeomanry.
But he held a higher rank in the Brit
ish army, for he was appointed last year
-paymaster-general of the forces. That
was an honorary appointment, however,
no salary being attached to it.
/, When the young duke started for the
field the London newspapers poked fun
at him for taking to war four horses,
four splendid Spanish mules, a specially
built Cape cart for going over rough
roads and the veldt, four servants and
every device for comfort that could be
utilized in a compact space. This elab-
crate equipment was contrasted with the
simple fighting outfit of his famous an

But the duke found the equipment
very handy and more than once ha
rendered important assistance with it.
After about seven months of service.
during which time he was brave to the
point of recklessness, he returned sin
splendid health,' according to himself

The duke, undoubtedly, has brought
home too, a large number of war relics
which will help decorate the new house.
And now further honors are in store

selected for, appointment as lord lieu
