A new ordinance-One to enable the
towns police force to maintain order i'll
public assemblages.
During the play at Ravenscrofts'
Opera House last Saturday evening there
was disgracefully bad behavior i'll the
gallery, including several misses for
which there was no provocatiOn what
ever.
This conduct brought the manager on
the stage, and while his remarks had a
wholesome effect, there is something
wanted more pungeDt than mere protest.
The Bailiff informs the JOURNAL that
he is powerless to arrest and the town to
punish in the absence of an Ordinance
prohibiting such conduct.
1t would seem to be the Mayors OPP,
portunity, if not duty, to have the At
torney write an Ordinance at once for
passage at the next meeting.
In default of this, let Mr.. Ravenscroft
have a State officer on hand hereafter
and il there have to be any imprison-
ments for any time, no matter how short,
let them be in the county Jail. not the
town lookup.

Correction.

Our contemporaries, the Frostburg JOUR-
NAL and the Homecoming Re"ie" place the
same estimate on the Mayor and Council OF
their respective municipalities. They both
think their city officials can be bought for a
pass on the Electric Railway For shame,
misunderstanding STIR.
The star should tell the truth.
The JOURNAL does not "thi"k' the
town Officials can be bought for pass
on the Electric railway
And it said nothing to justify state
ment of that character.
The revocation of the roads franchise
proves that if Frostburg Councilmen
had passes in their pockets they were
not thereby affected.
In a general way, however, towns,
counties, States and the country are
better off when the trustees of their i'll
terests hold their administrative acts
above even the shadow of question.

The JOURNAL does not believe that J.
J. Robinson and G. T. Clayton spent last
Sunday in communion. 1t is incredible,
too, that Clayton extorted from Robin
son confession of his love for A. A.
Mooney, and that Robinson then forced
Clayton to declare in undying terms his
affection for deNedrey. While the
JOURNAL is skeptical it could wish that
the day of sweet condolences had come.
In that event, it would send a copy of
this issue, this paragraph marked, to
Messrs. George H. Baer and John Mitch
ell, presidents, respectively, of coal and

1t is Coming.

1t may as well be understood now as
hereafter that the anthracite strike and
the conduct of the baronial owners to-
ward it are a terrific blow at protected
coal.
Whether one or six years, free coal is
coming.
Once here, it will stay.
For no part of the country has ever
wanted free trade in coal more than
protected" New England, and New
England never wanted it so earnestly as
nor.
In fact, New England must hare it, or
away will go her manufacturing SUI
premacy to the South, where coal is close
to the CRATE.
So far as this region is concerned there
is, in the JOURNALS judgment, little If
anything to fear i'll any event, but free

4 Bad Proposition.

Several months ago it was reported
that few Hagerstown people had in
preparation bill they intend to ask
the next Legislature to enact into law,
which, succeeding, will take the edge off
much of current intelligence.
If passed it will compel persons who
write editorials and communications for
newspapers in Maryland to sign their
names, and to make the writer, instead
of the newspaper, responsible.
Much editorial and contributed matter
derive force from the fact that they are
impersonal.
Hence, if such bill passes many
newspapers will lose both interest and
influence.
If the people of Hagerstown have suf-
fered from abuse of the "impersonal'
in local journalism there ought to be
some other way of reaching and treating
the evil.

Own a Home.

II all the men in the country who can
own home and who ought to own
home, would do it right now, what a
period of profit this would be to people,
town, county, State, nation and govern
ment!
The man who owns his home is the
plenipotentiary citizen.
Therein he has the highest share in
law and order
He is sovereign.
His own roof shelters him, and his
children play on royal ground.
The noblest impulses of the human
heart cluster around the home.
As memory it is revered; as pos
session it is a freeman's fortune, and Ill
the optimism of the Christian vernacular
it becomes the tenderest earthly synonym
of Heaven.
Men who own their homes owe it to
themselves and their own interests more
than they think to encourage their home
less brothers to acquire places they can
call their own-castles, we should say,
which no magnate nor prelate may enter
unbidden.
Every homeless man led or helped into
owning a home is a soldier enlisted i'll an
army whose cause makes it to the last
degree invincible.
A man with home at stake is soldier
almost sure to have right OH his side.
And million men with homes OF
their own might be out-numbered, but
never out -generaled.
