n Tale Of Two Cities.

There is striking likeness between
the great features which make cities
great.
The JOURNAL has been chided for dis
approving the towns present policy of
living beyond its income.
1t has held that IA town cannot do this
any more than an individual can
But one of the stingiest, greediest,
most hoggiSh concerns in town contends,
i'll effect, that the town can do it and that
the people like and admire that style of
municipal living.
Or if they do not they don't know their
ears from tiSh-tins.
But the New York IIo,Id tells of Il
situation i'll the Frostburg of the Empire
State that, with IA few nominal changes,
could be read appropriately here:
Alas how easily scruples go wrong! The
Municipal Assembly INDUCED a lot of them
over an $4,000 appropriation for the Bronx
water supply. But not scruple has lifted its
head against a S2,CO00O0 increase in city and
county salary rolls within the last six months.

Greatness.

The item below was recently copied
by the GI"dner:
lfa newspaper is truly great the people will
find it out in due time without the editor hay
ing to tell them. When he tells it SO often it
looks as if the editor himself might have Il
suspicion or two lurking somewhere under
his hat.-Uniontown (Pa) Peoples Tribune
There is great way, however, of
telling the fact, if it be fact, that III
telling implies greatness.
That is, IA paper that is not great can
not affect greatness, while paper that
is greats can state the situation in
terms that naturally coincide with the
popular estimate.
In the JOURNAL the claim of greatness.
even III the exclusive" sense, ALWAYS
appears in matter of jolly or facetious
vein, showing that much depends upon
not how the fact is told, but whrrc it is
told.
1t follows therefore, as the night the
day, that paper that knows not how to
classify and elbow its own horn without
offence, except to enviOus competitors,
lacks i'll the very outset the element upon
which the structure of greatness is al
ways erected.

The latest innovation i'll the Associ-
alton is indoor baseball, an exercise
which has been welcomed and adopted
most enthusiastically by the boys and
young men. Many IA jolly evening is
is spent i'll this wholesome diversion in
the gymnasium.
A Y. M. &. A. base ball team is being

other places will participate. For this
and similar succeeding occasions the
boys are putting themselves in training
to meet all competition
A l2-pound hammer has been added to
the gymnasium outfit, and the world can
expect shortly to hear of some expert
"throwers" from Frostburg.
The Debating Society will hold pub
lie debate on May =, subject and speak
erS to be announced hereafter.
New members are constantly added,
and the Association is slowly but surely
accomplishing its object in the develop
ment of men i'll building up the standard
of manhood and character This is
shown particularly in the Bible study
and Sunday meeting department of the
work.
The walls of the Association have been
decorated by many pictures furnished
by the Ladies' Auxiliary.
An interesting and impressive enter
tainment will be given at the Association
rooms Monday next, April l, at S:l5

beautiful departure, consisting of 30 of
the choicest reproductions of famous
paintings thrown on the canvas by the
stereopticon, representing the leading
events i'll the Saviour's life In silence
and without exposition these beautiful
pictures speak to the audience in tones
more eloquent than the words of men,
and at intervals they are interspersed
with appropriately grand old hymns,
sung by choir of picked voices from the
best vocalists i'll Frostburg. No one can

An Auti-Merit Samnle

In an interview the other day in Washing
ton Director of the Census Merriam referred
to the fact that he had simply to take the men
who were recommended to him for positions
as enumeratOrs on a basis of faith He COM
planned of the conditions which hampered
him in the selection of the tifty-four thousand
men employed in the service, pointing out
that the method disappointment on the recon-
mendat:on of politicians was 1.-THE weak point
in the American Census" and adding that if
the Bureau had the power to examine all APP
plicants and pass upon their merit and ability
the result would be very different in the work
of taking a census.-Baltimore Ne~s.
No doubt of it,
Instead, however, the selection of
enumeratorS in the Sixth district, for
example, was handed over to Congress
man who has publicly declared his an
tagonism to the merit system.
He, i'll turn-in Frostburg, for ex-
ample, had the State committeeman in
dulge the prerogativc of "artiticial selec-
tiOn.'
1t may be that for the most part the
work was we'll done here; but, if SO, Mr..
Merriam can be assured that the result
is not due to the fact that the appointing
power here knew whether his favorites
were competent, or what competency is.

"An exchange is accused by the

The kickers on the farm are not as hard to
get along with as the kickers in the towns.
On the farm there is the kicking COW and our
lOng-eared friend, the mule, while in the
town there is the old mossback, who wants
all the privileges Of municipal living without
paying for them and blocks so far as he can
every municipal improvement. The cow
may be sold for beef and the mule traded for
a shotgun, but nothing but funeral will get
rid of town kicker.
That is nearly severe enough to be en-

London's Example to New York

London at its recent County Council cleo
tons gave striking proof ofthe practicability
ofcompletely divorcing national party politics
from municipal elections.
At the general election last October the
Tory UnioniSt voters elected tifty-four out of
the siXty-twO members of Parliament for
London.
An attempt was made to take advantage of
this fact in the elections recently held for the
County Council which IS the local govern
ment of London, by swapping the national
party line. But the candidates put forward
by the Tory Unonists were generally defeated
and the PrOgressives have the Council iy a
majority OF 81 to 36.
The Progressives won on strictly local
issues Their platform was municipal own.
ership of London's water supply and the in
vestment of s. 100000 of municipal money in
building suburban cottages for workingmen.
If London can thus choose its city govern
ment on purely city issues and refuse to con-
slider national party lines in its local affairs,
why not New York New York Uorld.
And why not Frostburg:
But among those most determined to
degrade party by maladministration
under its auspices of municipal affairs
are Englishmen under the lead of little
one who has risen without mer to the
Office of State committeeman.

the free and the home of the brave
