In the Senate, Senator McComas

concede to Senator McComas admired
cleverness of intellect and an exalted
breadth of sincerity-two elements of
the real sta tesman. 1t isn't every man
however eminent in public life who is
accused of having a conscience.
In debate, Senator McComas is
clear and forceful. Upon problems of
importance to the people, you will
uniformly find him right. For ex-

CHARTER GRANTED.

The Oakland Water Company Incorpor-
ated Under the Laws of Maryland
On Saturday Chief Judge Boyd
granted a charter to the Oakland
Water Company of Garrett County,
comforting upon the cOrporationsth
right to lay and maintain system
of water mains within the corporate
limits of Oakland and to establish a
pumping station and reservoir to sup
ply the citizens of town with water.
The corporation is capitalized at
$4,000, divided into 500 shares of the
par value of 800 each For the first
year the directors are F. T. Martin
and M. &. Martin, of Fairmont: D. E.
Bolden, j. G. Renninger and w. R.
Offutt, of Oakland.
The site for the pumping station
with the water privileges have been
secured from Mrs. Bradley, the same
being located on her farm adjoining
tn e western limits of the town where
plentiful supply of pure, limpid
spring water can be obtained at all
times. The site for the reservoir is
on top of Crooks Crest, somewhat
elevated hill overlooking the town
and surrounding country An engi-
neer recently examined the site and
took a level which showed that the
elevation was sufficient to throw a
stream 80 feet higher than the cross
surmounting the new Catholic
church.
As yet no stock in the new company
has been sold, but a number of town
people have signitied their willing
ness to become stockholders. While
the matter is now in good shape to
begin operations it has not been en-
tirely financed and may not be for
some time to come, but the expecta-
ton of the directors lead them to
hope that work will begin in earnest
within the next two months

mace them so fair, so just, so reason
able, that the opposition party, ex-
pecting to find that We were trying
to intrench ourselves by that petty
trickery, were astonished at our mod
Grafton, and by their silence approved
our Justice and wisdom.
Tears ago, Mr. President. in the
House of Representatives, | had the
honor to introduce-and | remember
it went as far as the approval of the
caucas of my party in that house
afteras much study as | was capable
of and with such seriousness as |
could bring to the proposition, |
framed a bill to prevent this pract-
ice OF gerrymandering the Congress
slonal district. The purpose was to
so have 1t apply in the legislation of
Congress that it might be an example
to the people of the States and to the
legislatures in respect of their legis-
latjve districts.
There will come time, Mr. Presi-
dent, when the fountain of represent
ative power will be cleansed of this
contamination andl an awakened
sentiment of the people of the coun-
try will tend to purge it more and
more. After the excitement of the
elections and the stress of Larty as
tendency, the zeal OF party manipu-
lation will at some time in this great
country of ours give place to a serious
and thoughtful effort to stop this
practice of gerrymandering and that
effort will receive the impetus and
encouragement of the better thought
in this country. 4 | remem-
Der 20 have made-some years ago,
and | am sorry that | have it not
hert--some tabulations and to have
placed in the report upon that anti
gerrymander bill number of maps
OF most curious gerrymander in this
country. When we came to make
new apportionment bill last.j year,
after the last census, we required that
the territory should be compact and
contiguous in the Congressional dis
tricts. In doing that we made
slight advance. 1t was not compul-
sorry, but was persuasive as against
the habit of Congressional gerry
manding."
That statement discloses a record
of magnificent Importance, and of
wh.s Senator McComas should be
proud. II he could formulate an act
of Congress that would substantially
prevent the gerrymander, it would
be a movement to his craftsmanship
more enduring than a towering ceno-
taph of granite or marble
Having been so long a popular
Judge upon our District of Columbia
bench, our people fairly claim him as
their own Senator. In the Senate
service he is conspicuous upon a half
dozen leading Committees, being
chairman of that on Education and
Labor. He is q member of the Judi
ciary Committee, and also those of
Patents and Philippines, and several
others of Importance Altogether,
Senator McComas is equipped, in
talent, character and influence, for
the ideal United States Senator.

latter course and just as he opened
the door the second and more severe
attack came upon him. He fell into
the hallway but retained conscious
ness and was assisted to a sofa by
Mrs. Hamill who summoned physi-

FIRE AT ACCIDENT.


Roof Burned From the Dwelling of John
Hoffman Tuesday Morning.
Accident, twenty miles north of
Oakland, was visited at an early hour
Tuesday morning by fire-the first
one in number of years, or since the
conflagration which destroyed the
Lutheran church in that village.
The fire was confined to the house
of John Hoffman, on Green street,
and caught between the ceiling and
roof of the building from a spark,
presumably, emitted from defective
flue. A great quantity of snow was
on the building and the action of the
fire in melting it, coupled with the
efforts of the village folks in throwing
water from buckets, quenched the
flames after the roof had been almost
entirely consumed: The water ran
down through the building and did
some damage to the interior, the total
loss amounting to about $75. The
furniture was removed during the
progress of the fire and what dam
age it sustained was through the
hurry of handling it.
