We have received the following
well written letter from the talented
authoress of the historical sketch
on some of the early pioneers OF
Virginia and Maryland, as pub
lished in this paper, and dealing
with the Cresap family. The letter
was not intended for publication,
but is so interesting and being of a
general nature, We take the liberty OF
publishing it herewith:
Dresden, Ohio, June "a, 1909.
Mr.. j. Slidell Brown,
Dear Sir:-I thank you very much
for the two copies of the ARGUS
June I2th and Iolh--which you sent
me, containing my history of Col.
Thomas Cresap.
Please grant me another favor.
The last half of the third and fourth
columns (of June 10Th ARGUs) of
the history, happen not to have alb
sorbed the ink, but are quite blank.
do not know what you call it when
such an accident occurs, so please
pardon my way of expressing it..
But would like to preserve the
ARGUS containing this little history,
so would be grateful il you would
send me another copy of June roth.

the power Of your profession, is
second only to the pulpit-in fact,
1t reaches those who are never
reached by the pulpit or its evangel.
Not only "mighticr than the sword, "
but ALL the other agencies, with the
above exception.
thank you also for your publ
cation OF the booklet. believing sin
cerely that we should cherish the
memory OF the builders Of nation as
patriots. Your paper will reach
many and may stir up some Others
to study the history OF the colonial
heroes Of Virginia and Maryland.
We have great reason to be proud
OF the record left by the Virginians
and Marylanders, and the important
part which they performed in max
ing this nation the GREATEST one
which has ever, and believe, shall
ever exist.

Hampshire county, Virginia, and

the Journal last week tried to
shift the Tunnelton Injunction bust
ness on to the Democrats, because
Judge Jackson, who granted it, is a
gold bug Democrat and was ap-
pointed to Office by a Republican
President. The Journal also spoke
of the gold bug Democratic attor-
neys and Baltimore Coal Company
gold bug officials. This does not
help the Journal out particle, and
our statement is still pertinent and
right. We said that the Democratic
party in the last campaign declared
against government by Injunction"
and warned the country against the
danger of such infringement on the
rights of the people and perversion
of popular government. The Re-
publicans and gold bugs called us
anarchists and declared that we
we're trying to destroy the Courts.
1t is no use for the Journal or the
Republican party to throw up gold
bug Democrats to us. We are not
responsible for them. That respon-
sibility belongs with the Republi
cans, and most of the gold bug
Democrats belong there also.

Apropos OF meritricious measures
passed during the closing hours of
session, the House committee on
Commerce has reported bill which
should excite the indignation of, the
elicit protests form, all thinking
people. 1t provides that the period
for which cattle may be continuously
transported without unloading for
rest, food or water, shall be extend
ed from as to 40 hours. The bill is
backed by certain cattle interests
and only the prompt protests of
humane people will prevent its

Every effort is being made by the
administration to minimize the error
committed by Admiral Crowninshield
in making public his endorsement
on the finding ofth court ofsinquiry
which investigated the trouble which
certain members of the crew of the
Chicago got into in Venice. 1t is
said that the Admiral has been
treated with chilling indifference by
the Americans he has met abroad
and that he conceived the idea that
he would, in measure. secure
popularity by dealing most leniently
with the young American officers
who became slightly intoxicated and
precipitated street row in Venice.
The Navy Department, however,
fearing that the Admiral's character
ization of the Venetian courts and
jails would provoke indignation from
Italy, kept the report secret. This
displeased the Admiral so he gave to
the London newspapermen the find
ing of the court and his endorsement,
and as result the Italian Ambassa-
dor registered a prompt protest with
the Secretary of State and the end
is not yet.
