Lost Motion.

Prohibitionists in New York want a
license law for drinking men-$l5 year
each for the privilege of taking drink
whenever he likes.
There is something practical in that
proposition.
In Maryland, however, the prohibi.
tionists do not want to encourage mere
moderate drinking. They want to lay
the axe at the root of the whiskey tree
and make chips of stump, trunk and
branches.
Which is an impractical proposal, just
As would be "a crusade of determination
against lying and several other vices
under the ban of the moral law.
Until the millennium this sort of pre-,
sumption will be sentimental as
surely Us sin of all kinds and phases will
exist while an atom of human imperial
ism asserts its authority.

world to the religion of the Meek and

4 Fine Article.

The article on the New Constitution
of Virginia, first page, was solicited by
the JoURNAL-this after hearing verbal
account of its merits.
Whether Immediately interested or
not, it is believed the professional will find
it an interesting and the lay reader an
instructive review of the latest accom-
plishment i'll the way of organic law
making.
That Mr.. OFlaherty was i'll happy
mood when it was written is evident
from the elegance with which he clothes
the forms of legal speech, the judicial
tone which modifies both his appreciation
of good points and his fears concerning
the untried, and the brevity which COM
prehends practically the whole story.

&c. q. d."

1t is stated that the Electric Road peo-
pie, beggars for privileges awhile ago,
claim they are now masters.
Between the liberality of the county
commissioners and town councils along
the lines, and legislative authority to
consolidate and crystalline all the rights
the authorities surrendered to them on
demand, the town Of Frostburg will raise
and lower the roads tracks and do its
part of the paving at he to~n's expense !
To no one else now is Union street SO
valuable, yet, SO far as the Electric road
magnates, lately mendicants, are con-
cerned, Union street must look out for
Union street
This brings the JOURNAL to a sug.
gestion to the Mayor and Council-pre-
sent your bills to both the road company
and individuals as the ~ork is compIpted.
This seems to be important, for if the
Mayor and Council are on the wrong
Electric road, the sooner they find that
fact out, the better.
There are three imperialisms to avoid
/, OF the town over private property
owners -
2, OF the Electric road company over
both, and
3, OF public debt incurred OH account
of Mayor and Council mistakes in deal
ing with either.
To put off settlement until all is done
and then learn that the town must pay
for all, will mean debt of teens of
thousands.

When?

The Washington Post of Tuesday con
tains the following bit of news;
The town council of kensington has
awarded the contract for laying 5000 square
yards of brick sidewalks to the Colburn Paw
ing company of Washington at 20 cents Il
square yard. The specifications require that
the contractor do all necessary grading and
that the brick be laid in four inches of sand
When the new walks are down it is claimed
that kensington will be the best-paved town
in Montgomery county.
That means that the tOTn of Kensing
ton lays even the sidewalks" for the
people, knowing that the sidewalks y
are 80 per cent. for the benefit of the
public to per ce"t. for the benefit of the
property-owner.
When will Frostburg catch up with
the times?
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1902-09-20

In reproducing the three paragraphs
amended the JOURNAL is compelled
again to refer to the New Constitution
of Virginia--this time i'll support of Its
contention that street-paving should be
done wholly at pubEc expense:
The decision of the Common Council to
continue the work of street improvement
under TIE conditions imposed by he Va"
CONSTITUTION will, we are sure, meet with the
hearty appreciation of the taxpayersof Peters
burg and of the people generally. The work
will now proceed along the lines of justice
and uniformity in the important matter OF
PAYMENT which will be made from the
general tisc, so far as roadway Improvements
are concerned, and will bear equally upon all
classes of citizens.
The Mdcr-ippe"i favors capitation tax
laid specifically for the creation of sinking
fund to retire the principal of the bonds
issued for street improvement and to meet
accrlling interest.
This plan is based on the theory that the
streets be'o"g to tie p"bIjr for hc p"b'ir use anu
Mo"'d be improrcd anil m"i"f"i"ed " Tie p"biic
tTUU".-I f""'--ipp'".
The JOURNAL has carefully read Article
s, entitled reorganization and Govern
ment of Cities and Towns" Sections
124 and 125 are given to the protectio" Of
he p"blic in its property rights to "the
streets, alleys and public grounds. y
Herein it does for cities and towns what
mayors and councils often fail to dot
protects the public from the imperialism
of perpetual and longtime franchises.
The Constitution goes yet step far
ther in endowing the Legislature with
authority to prescribe "ad'iionni re-
strictions on the powers of cities and
towns in giving away, selling or leasing
any of their propery'- streets, alleys,
etc.
These citations are made to show that
the trainers of the New Constitution of
Virginia determined that streets, alleys
and public grounds belong to the pub
lie, and are hencefOrth to be maintained
by the public for the benefit of the
public.
1t is important to observe also that
this determination was not based on the
mere theory that the streets belong to
the public ETC., but upon the lessons Of
sad experience in many cities and towns
of the Old Commonwealth whose author
tiles, without adequate knowledge of the
extent of their own prerogatives, or the
publics true relation to town highways,
or of the value of the latter, gave away
rights that have returned to them i'll the
arrogance and insolence of incorporated
SOulleSSneSs.
A charge over there of 1913 per- cent. of
the cost of street improvement upon
abutting property-owners is now I'M
possible.
Even in Frostburg, Maryland, whether
legal or not, the right name of such a
levy is confscat;on!

The evidences multiply.
The New York IIIOrLd SaYS:

The New York World says:
Justice Steckler who has very direct
way of getting at the essence of justice and
protecting the rights of citizens, decides that
no hotel proprietor nor any one else has the
right to give to any particular class or num-
Der of hackmen the exclusive Use of por-
ton of the public streets.
That means that no portion of the
public streets" belongs to any individual,
but to the public.
In the town of Frostburg, however,
only one-third of the street belongs to
the town-when it is to be improved.
The other two-thirds of the cost of
improvement is raised by filming citizens
for the crime of owning property abut-
ting on it.
