INDICATED.

Now as to Mayor Wilson. A
great deal has been said in crit
icism of his administration and
private affairs.
He needs no defense at our
hands for he has certainly
been indicated to the satisfac-
ton of all. The people have pro-
nounced their condemnation
against the scurrilous attacks
made upon him in no uncertain
manner.
First, as to his owning proper
ty in his own name. In justice
to him and without his know
ledge or consent, we want to
simply suggest that many of the
best citizens of the town, the
county and the state are guilty
of the same great crime. We do
not plead this in justification of
any wrong Mayor Wilson may
have been guilty of, but simply
point out that married woman
may own property and we are in
formed that more than one of the
men whom the other side have
espoused consistently in munic-
ipal politics for several years
past have either allowed their
wives to own the bulk of their es-
tate or what is worse, plead the
statute of limitation in defense of
claims against them, the justi-
ness of which seemed not to be
questioned.
Now as to his record as mayor.
We have critisized his acts in the
past and have experienced NO
change of heart on that point and
will not hesitate to again critisize
them if we think it is deserved.
We have not really expected to
find a perfect, man even in Fitz-
gerald. Of we did he is proba-
bly, too busy editing the Enter
prise to give any attention tc
politics. but we are ready to de-
fend the proposition that he has
made the best record, as mayor,
yet made in the short history oil
our city. We have not had point
ed out, and indeed, have not the
least knowledge of any instance,
where he has failed to carry out
the law, when the same has come
to his attention. in the proper way
We have not here a moral com
munity, but ten-fold better thar
when Mayor Wilson first came
into Office, and the people whc
have denounced him, haven't thu
least claim for credit for the i'm
provemcnt in the moral status.

Another Survey.

We learn through the Hagerstown MAJ
that Western Maryland engineer corps has
been engaged in the work ola new survey Of
a route that will give lighter grades and will
follow, substantially, the present line.
The Mal says 1.-THE surveying corps haye
reached the Blue Mountain House on the
survey for lower glade on the Main Line
and it is now thought that the line may be
run to Hagerstown. 1t was the idea at frs,
to start the line from Smithsburg, The pur
pose, as has been stated, is to get three per
cent grade for facilitating traffic over the
mountain section of the road. A tunnel is
proposed to help carry out this plan"
That the company is endeavoring to locate
q line with feasible grades along the present
line is, of course, more than agreeable to U.s.
and it is certainly true that any survey across
the mountain that passes the Blue Mountain
House must remain on the south side of the
Germantown Gorge, which means that any
tunnel that would be made would haye i,s
eastern exit in the Owens creek and not the
Toms creek valley.
The grade for facili tating traffic however
is scarcely that named in the item we have
quoted a three percent grade being 1884
feet per mile, would not facilitate traffic, that
being more than one half again as heavy as
the heaviest grade on the present line.

The week in the Senate has prsctl-
cally been devoted to the consideration
of the Philippine OWL Government
bill and Senators Carmack and Raw
Inns have presented exhaustive exposi =
lions of the democratic position in re-
gard to the measure. In accordance
with the expressed wish of Sen. Lodge,
the republicans have so far refrained
from replying to democratic charges
Several important conferences have been
held by the republican senators and it
has been determined to make an inves-
tigation of the Sugar Trust holdings Of
Cuban sugar, in accordance with the
resolution introduced by Senator Tell
er. There is now little doubt, but that
the Senate committee on Relations with
Cuba will report straight Reciprocity
bill and it will have to stand or fall on
its merits. Opinion among the sena.
tors OF both parties is so divided as to
the outcome that it is impossible to
make any unprejudlced prediction at
this writing.

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE
Monday, April 90, 1909.
The xpheavel in the House of Rep
resentatives produced by the overruling
of the chairman in the committee of the
Whole when the Cuban Reciprocity bill
was under consideration appears to have
had most salutary effect in that it has
greatly expedited the transaction of rou'
tine business and, while none of the
great questions before Congress has been
considered in the House during the past
week, large amount of regular business
has been disposed of. On Tuesday the
Military Academy Appropriation bill
WIS passed. This makes the twelfth
appropriation bill passed BY the House
this session, two of them having been
Urgent Deficiency bills, and leaves but
three more Appropriation bills, one of
these the Agricultural bill now under
consid grafton, to be acted on. Tie two
remaining are the District Of Columbia
and the Naval bills. On Friday the
Pension calendar was taken up and was
cleared by the passage of l45 bills.

The Chinese Exclusion bill is now in

House after giving instructions to its
conferees not to yield on certain points
which will make the bill more effective

the Pacific coast republicans greeted
the first passage of the bill has been
largely mitigated by further examin-
alton of the measure and they feel that
unless it is reinforced it will operate a
