Venus, evening star since about June

ward of the sun, and will reach the limit
during the first week in December
That is, it appears higher i'll the western
armament each evening and will so CON
tinue until the time named.
Although thus coming steadily nearer
to the earth, the planets brilliance does
not correSpondingly increase. This is
due to its inferior orbit-a circuit with
i'll the path of the earth. In approach
ing the earth, therefore, it presents more
and more its dark side, while, receding.
it grows brighter until in full reflection
on the other side of the sun. although
over six times distant, it shines in fullest
radiance
In most respects Venus presents like
nesses which make it appear nearer kin
to the earth tnan any other planet. 1t
is 400 miles in diameter smaller; its year
225 days; its days 81 minutes shorter,
and its force of gravity one-tenth less.
In fact, Venus is SO nearly the twin
sister of earth that any State committee
man who weighs 40 pounds here would
tip the scales at l35 mp there.
On the other hand if he We're on Nep-
tune, according to the most reliable dota
obtainable, he wonld weigh considerably

The Higher Power.

The Cumberland Nc"S paid one man
IA compliment most likely deserved when
it said:
Mr.. Stern, who landed one of the nomina
nations in spite of himself, made an admira-
BILE secretary. He is one of the very few sec
retaries who have not depended on newspaper
men to see them out. He was dextrous and
assiduous.
Mr.. Stern is not only competent cleri-
cally, but will make ''dextrous and
assiduOus' legislator.
This point, however, is secondary to
the question that will be raised by Mr.
Gorman-"will he come down here with
the understanding that his thinking on
senatorial matters will he done for him -
That is the question.

Running newspaper is just like running

into hotel and something on the table does
not suit him he does not get up and raise
hades with the landlord and tell him to stop
his darned old hotel He sets that dish to

readers. They find an article occasionally
that does not suit them exactly and, without
stopping to think that it may please hund- eds

and hasten to stop their paper.
In this town of Frostburg, for instance,
it would be impossible for any news
paper to maintain consistently view of
politics, morals or religion that would
please everybody.
Hence, it is possible that the man who
stops any town paper because its express
sions disagree with his own convictions,
