\ Pleasant Family Affair.

The S0th birthday of Henry Engle, ST.,
of the Shaft, was observed last Sunday,
August 10, by gathering around him
and his wife of seven children, twelve
grandchildren and one great grandchild,
and eight friends of the family-in all,
thirty persons, as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs Henry Engle, 81, of the
Shaft; Mr. and Mrs. William Engle and
family, of Mcyersdale, Pa; Edward Engle
and daughter, of Salisbury Pa; Hilderbcrt
Engle of krcighbaum, Md; George Engle,
of Barton, Henry II. Engle and family and
Miss Lille Skidmorc, of FroStburg Mr.. and
Mrs. A. II. Whitaker of Washington, ID. G.;
George Hsentrout and family and William
Albright and family of Ocean.
The reunion was held at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Engle, of the
Shaft and was the first the entire
family has enjoyed since 1874. That it
was most delightful occasion to all,
especially the venerable couple thus
honored, is unanimously attested.

To the man who wanted to Ego and

ment has done a great deal for its dead

Even the solidly paved cutters which
protect the roads and avenues on the
battlefield of Gettysburg are protected
by upper cutters. In bricfer terms
cutters protecting cutters. Here in
Frostburg, however, it can't be seen that
the reservoir can be protected on the
same principle, the plan including, be-
sides the gutter, good wall around the
upper end. The government, therefore
protects its roads and cutters better than

Hands OF.

In the JOURNALS view no movement
in the matter of aiding governor Smith
in the selection of a successor to judge
Sloan, should start among republican
lawyers.
1t is hoped, therefore, the governor
will not endorse by appointment any
democrat whose selection is tainted by
republican inspiration or preference.
In this matter let each party attend to
its own business.
For the governor to accede to any re-
publican suggestion, no matter how
through whom or under what conditions
expressed, will be equivalent to award
ing to that party the nomination of both
candidates for judge.
The people, on the other hand, want
the opportunity at the polls to choose the
better man of the two best both parties,
untrammeled, can put up.

which we had come-goingby two small
towns namely-"Woodlan and Proc
tor" The roads We're beginning to get
fine.
We came next to Il gas district, where
no oil is produced-just gas. 1t is called
by the 'post office, "Mountaineer." 1t
is little village of few houses and Il
queer post office, the roads still being
fine.
Next we came to what they call Fish
Creek" Looking down several hun
bred feet, the scenery is something Won
derful. Down in the valley they have
some beautiful farms and all along fine
farm-houses. Nearly every farmer has
a telephone.
We got to the town of Woodland at
6:15. 1t is quite nice little town.
Now we drove twelve miles of real
nice road to the town of "Proctor,' on
the banks Of the Ohio river. After we
got one mile this side of "Proctor' the
road was simply terrible-mud and holes
so deep that we could see only just the
upper part of the wheels. Now you
folks can imagine how bad it was.
We got into Proctor" at S O'Clock
1t Is a very small town-seycral churches,
few stores, livery stable and few
other things.
By this time it was getting late and
dark and we had to be hurrying to get
over the bad road before 1t got dark
We had very bad roads till we got to a
place called North Pole'-a glycerine
factory. After that we had good roads
all the way home, but being very narrow
we could hardly pass anyone.
Well, all i'll all, we drove about 60
miles and | saw over 60 oil wells.
We got home at 9 o'clock, and | must
say it certainly is treat for anyone that
can stand the drive. l hope if any of
my old Frostburg friends ever come ont
in this part of the country | can take
them over the same ground have Just

Death OfJutlIc Sloan.

Hon. David w. Sloan, an associate
Judge of this circuit, died at his resi-
dence, in Cumberland, last Saturday
morning.
The intelligence of the sad event,
though not entirely surprising, was re-
ceivcd with universal regret. Native
to the manor born, unlike the "prophet
not without honor, save in his own
country" he forged his way to IA pre-
eminence which commanded the re-
spect of his contemporaries and the
Difference of all AS a lawyer he was
aggressive; as politician shrewd and
commanding; as a judge for the far
greater part deep-sighted, clear headed,
promptly accurate and just.
Socially, he was genial and generous.
Host or guest, it was good to be with him.
He was born at Eckhart September 26,
1880. His father was Alexander Sloan,
il coal-producing pioneer; his mother a
courierS of the march which has made
this region great industrial centre.
He went to school and to college
graduating from Princeton and from
the University Law School, Baltimore,
studied law with Lloyd Lowndes; be-
came States attorney i'll 1919; again i'll
1887 and 1891, and in 1895 was elected
to the judgeship.
November Ii, 1872, Miss Mary l..
Good, of Kirkwood, Mo-, became his
wife, who, with two daughters and two
sons, survives.
Judge Sloan's health began to fail
nearly two years ago, and the end was
steadily FASTENED by augmenting compli
cations.
The funeral services Monday in Cum
berland and interment at Frostburg
evoked great demonstration of popu-
lar respect. The court, bar, numerous
fraternal orders and citizens joined the
family and relatives i'll observing the
last rites. Rev. ID. M. SHILLING, of St.
Louis, Mo, officiatcd i'll the Presbyter-
ian church, Cumberland, and Rev.
Harry S. Ecker, of Frostburg, assisted
ut the grave.
The remains lie III the family lot,
near by those of the father and mother
Besides his own family four sisters
and four brothers survive

One Sunday morning my friend took
me out i'll the oil field.
1t certainly was great treat for me,
for | knew nothing at all about oil, as |
had been born and reared i'll coal re-
gion.
We left at 9:3O i'll the mOrning-frst
uphill and down. then on the level all
the way. We drove two horses. One
could not stand the trip, as the roads
We're in terrible condition washed out
so the buggy would almost turn over
and the horses have to plunge to go over
them.
First, we came to German Ridge"
where we saw many cheese factories
very queer-looking places. Then we
came to what is called Briggs Farm"
Here the road had a big wash ont in it
so that the horses leapcd across and our
buggy went from side to side, and | tell
You sometimes the wheels on one side
would not touch.
Next We came To Il place called
"Maron''-a very small place 1t has
post office which is IL qucer-lookinS gov
eminent building-only one story with
moss growing on the roof one window
and door with Post Office" painted on
shingle-a very queer place.
We drove on, the roads being very bad
in some places, crossing creeks and runs
till next we came to the "Garner Oh
Field" the ground having been owned by
Henry Garner, who is dead. The South
Penn Oil company leased it, giving the
Garner heirs One-eighth of the oil, the
South Penn taking seven-eighths. They

william &. DcvccnIOn.

Without the slightest disparagement
of the fitness of any other democratic
member of the Allegany county bar,
the JOURNAL assumes to express its CON
viction that governor Smith cannot do
better than appoint William G. Devec-
mon to fill the vacancy accustomed by
the death of judge Sloan.
Mr.. Devecmon is i'll the prime OF life,
schooled in the law, endowed with both
the discernment and temperament
which befit the ideal jurist, and enjoys
civic and professional repute of high
quality and fe-long standing.
With the prestige of the gubernatorial
preference browning his unquestionable
qualifications, his party, adopting the
governors selection, will discover i'll
him a nominee more than ordinarily
exempt from the frictions engendered
by professional rivalries, party prejudices
and factional antagonisms.
He is the premier eligible.

j. j. Robinson, editor of the Lonacon-

New Mexico-this time with more than
usual ceremony. He split some tatfy ON

guidance of popular privation proceed

jecting chill into So much concern for
the big end of the public. the JOURNAL
is obliged to express the fear that these
long absences of Robinson's are i'm
periling too many pre-eminent conditions
in this narrow neck of land.

Rights and Powers.

The question of majority rule, the funda-
mental principle underlying the initiative
and referendum, is by no means a new one.
In sixteen of the forty-hve States the Bill
of Rights declares that it is the right of the
voters to instruct their representatives
Forum.
Another instance showing the vast
difference between "the rights of the
voters" and the po~er 'of the voters. "
1t is the right" and it should be
within the power of Maryland voters to
initiate" the names of suitable eligibles
for governor, but, instead of nominations
originating among the people they are
coming down from realm above the
people.
Hence, it has come to pass that not
name so far mentioned for that Office
next term can be esteemed as IF popular
origin.
In fact, measured by the standard of
self-assumed leadership and speaking
generally, it is the opinion of the bosses
that the people are never knee-high to
their own interests i'll a party emergency.
