tLsm, pain in the back. kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passage 1t corrects inability to hold
water and scaldng pain in passing 1t, or
bad effects following use of liquor. wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day. and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the ex-
traordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for It's
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases If you need q medicine you should
have the best Sold by druggists in nifty
cent and one-dollar sizes.

The CITY Finances.

When Selma's debt was foated many
years ago 1t amounted to over $6OO.oOO.
The Debt Commissioners have now reduc-
ed the amount to about 100000. 1t Is
being paid off at the rate of $4,000 per
annum. The interest on the bonds has
been kept up and now Selma bonds are
above par. While this Is fact, the
bond issue of $4,000 authorized by the
last legislature, could not be placed. This
issue was for the purpose of building
market house. Money is very timid and
while the old law hedges about the $780,
900 of bonds so that they are worth more
than par, capitalists could not be induced
to take the new bonds, and Selma will
therefore have TO do without market
house until law is passed guaranteeing
in some way the payment of the principal
and interest on the money to make these
needed improvements.

Crusade Against Chesapeake Junction


To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Your paper has done potent work for the
publication of the zone of deviltry which
has sprung up in the Maryland counties
bordering on the District during the past
two or three years. 1t is, therefore, all the
more to be regretted that you should mini
mize the evil deeds of certain parties who
are now hiding in the District from Off
GERS who want them in Maryland for al
legged violations of the law at Chesapeake
Junction. Your report says that requisi-
tions will probably not be issued for them,
as this is matter of small Importance.
1t is of no small Importance to us, resi-
dents and taxpayers Of Prince Georges
county, that certain vile resorts at Chesa-
peake Junction have earned for that place
the name of being the worst of its kind
in the United States; that practices are
said to be carried on there which would
not be tolerated anywhere else; that the
county officers have so far failed to stop
them, and that when, by an extra effort,
warrants are issued for the arrest of the
proprietors of these places, they conye-
niently skip over into the District and con-
tinue their business by proxy, chuckling at
the futile efforts made to keep them with
in the bounds Of the law.
The statutes against gambling, Sunday
liquor selling and public indecency have
been broken with such impunity at Chesa-
peake Junction that 1t Is no wonder that
gamblers. pool room promoters and pro-
ing that vicinity for business. We'll take
the chances was the remark Of one of
these enterprising persons recently. when
1t was suggested that he was running risk
of prosecution.
The residents Of Prince Georges are very
patient and long suffering. but there are
some things they will not stand, and It
would be we'll for prospective ''grafters"
Of the tougher sort to know that vigilance
committees are strongly talked Of and
will surely come, to the front if matters
don't mend pretty soon. 1t Is declared
by those who are behind the movement
that the prosecution against the alleged
fugitves from Chesapeake Junction will
be pushed to the bitter end. It may be
"unimportant" to the outside world, but
there is a significance to US in any move
tending to prevent the repetition OF out
rageous offenses at the Junction. where
the conduct of certain parties has. been
so scandalous as to quite throw the mo-
torious "Seeley dinner OF New York into
the background. Not all the places are
disreputable; the evidence We have in hand
amply fixes the offenses upon the guilty
parties, and they Will be brought to JUS
tice If 1t can be done.
This Is matter In which Washington
Is interested equally with Maryland and 1
wish to express here the appreciation felt
by many Mafylanders for the valuable aid
given us by the District authorities in
helping remedy evil conditions at the juno
ton. L. g. PERKINS.
