For the sake of brevity following re-
plies are made:
hY"irey-So far but little if any improve
mcnt.
Pcty-The pastor is right. Loyalty to
church relations, devotion to church duties
and obedience to church discipline should
be rclentlessly held as prerequisite to adj
ministration of church affairs. At same
time rs you indicate. 1t occasionally seems
like such devotion is as great hindrance to
industrial progress as the walking delegate,
and as complete a bar to business as free
trade But your pastor is right, as stated.
The Divine plan is trtmpi",y as well as
redemptIve.
Wants 10 hnow.-lie takes himself too
seriously, no doubt. But it is not fair to
estimate gentleman's intellectual depth by
his highway solemnity. The profoundest-
looking man the JOURNAL ever saw gloried
in being nothing but German democrat.
Qnestjonef-His little shop and stock are
his world. TO him his past and present are
the same. If any difference in interest the
past pretlominates and it is to be doubted
whether a hereafter has ever been con-
sidered. He once subscribed for one copy OF
Pennsylvania GrH.: took it Ion probation,
as it were, but returned it to the ncwslcaler

The Baltimore .Nu0 of April % under
the heading, "A Heavy Tax Rate; In
creased Expenditures i'll Ailegany coun-

taxes, and, among them, was the schools.
We see your county, under the lead of
Senator Lewis, took i'll compulsory edu-

Now there are educators i'll Maryland
who are going to call for consolidated
schools at the next Legislature. They
will mean conveyance to schools and
ultimately, food and clothing also, where
necessary.
These educators also want extensively
equipped industrial schools. Then they
want also expensive college courseS-all
at State expense.
Your county has led off for Maryland,
and unless checked, may be expected to
be made the leading fool county of the
State by the educators.
Taxpayers will foot all bills and let

The Issue.

A republican committee made 1t I'M
practicable for opposition to materialize.
Then 'the party" stood by its ticket
and elected it-this with the assurance,
almost absolute, that the hog open would
be restored.
All the officers-elect are republicans
not even a democrat on the board Of as
SCISSORS.
The hog pen is to be restored, mo
matter if an opposing petition long as
from here to Eckhart is presented.
Can the republican party of Frostburg
disavow the restored hog-pen as rP"b-
Hcdn party measure!
The only way open to repudlate TINS
reading of the situation is for some re-
publican or republicans to ascertain the
torns legal rights IN the premises and,
finding favorably to popular health and
decencey, oppIy TO courtto-dnyor No""oy
for an order enjoining Council against
the passage of the pending Ordinance.
Gentlemen, it is up to you to do
your duty-''up to you srrcraHy as well
as collectively.

offend people, especially during the lat
ter half of his two-year reign. 1t is one
thing to arrest a mature drunk travel
ing on his muscle, another to haul an
influential economist of kitchen slop into
court and assess him $40 or 500 for 50
little a thing as insalubrity, especially
when another election is III sight.
AS whole, the Ordinance places Il
duty on neighbors which the town
should retain. To protect himself,
therefore, the peaceable citizen must
complain and by so much forfeit his
repute as IA good neighbor. He pays
taxes for all the protection the town can
afford him, his family and property, and.
in turn, the town repudlates its obliga-
ton to him and takes his money under
false pretenses-an offense for which an
individual is severely punishable.
Not only so-it takes his money and
makes of it a means to Cypress and de-
grade him.

In few concluding lines of the re-

the financial situation is clearly, briefly,
nicely stated.
1t was not his province, probably, to
say more, but he could have reckoned that
the towns holdings of property are not
only ample as assets, but worth more
to the town than they cost.
The taxpayer may find exceptions to
some of the expenditures, but the re-
port cannot fail to impress him as "A

friends and ask them to join you in
signing and presenting the letter,
which can be done personally or by
mail. There is no expense. >
Those who work for liberty are par
triots. Those who refuse to do what
they are able should realize their
short-coming. They should realize
that they are lacking in the spirit of
1776 and are lacking in the spirit of
Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. They
have only an instinct that keeps them
slave to the ruling few rather than
risk sheer from them, though in SO
doing they help to become sovereigns.
Such men cannot see the on-sweping
march Of the peoples power whose
victory is close at hand.
CAMPAIGN OF 1904 FOR ABOLISH
ING PARTY GOVERNMENT.
Next year forty states elect legis-
latures, except the half of the senates
that hold over, and there will be elect
ed new national house and one-third
the national senate. The peoples par
ty should hold It's state and national
conventions, and apply the Kentucky
program. (The questions for national
candidates are set forth in an earlier
paragraph BY applying this program
an immediate victory will he achieved
in state and nation, and early in the
succeeding November a national con-
ference can be called to frame the ma
tional bills that are to be directly in
itiated for the control of railways and
other interstate monopolies. The con-
ferees will include represer stives of
organized labor and organized farm
ers, and the bills when put out for
signatures through these organiza-
tons will be ready to file with con-
gress when 1t meets in 1906.
This prospect for immediate sue
cess almost takes ones breath. Close
examination, however, shows no flaw.
and shows no conflict with the recon-
mendation of the Denver conference or
of previous action by the peoples
party. It Is simply recognition of
the Importance of changing the sys-
tenn of government before attempting
to use the improved system. There Is
an order of time in securing reforms,
the first of which Is the establishment
OF the peoples rule; then will come
the legislative reforms, and number
less ones. In the words of the Dem
yer conference: CAS- an open door

In states other than Kentucky, if the
state convention has been held, the
state executive committee or local
committee can go forward and ques-
ton the candidates, demanding an i'm
mediate answer. In order to get the
answer in writing and to get a spe-
cific form of an amendment, it is
suggested that few citizens sign and
deliver in their own names, or that OF
a majority rule league, copy Of the
letter to candidates set forth in a pre-
eediEg issue of The Independent. One
determined man or woman can pledge
the candidates in district:
Inform each candidate that state
ment Of his attitude will at once be
made to every non-partisan Organiza-
ton in the district-labor unions,
farmers organizations, etc.
This will usually result in a favor
able reply. In case candidate refuses,
then get each Of the non-partisan or
CARNATIONS to adopt a resolution for
majority rule, instructfng its execu-
tive committee to question each leg
islative nominee in the district.
In getting the resolution presented
to grange or union, should it become
necessary. it will be well to say little
or nothing about the refusal of a
nominee. Leave this for the debate,
should objections be raised. Your rep
resentative can win in open debate,
but might be kept from getting the
resolution before the meeting If the
refusal should become known.
The questioning of candidates should
be pushed in your district il you live
In either of the ten states that elect
legislatures this year, namely, Ken
lucky Ohio, Iowa, Maryland, New Jer-
sey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, South Carolina or Mississippi.
