o, We Hypocritcs!

Fear was expressed in certain quarters
that the defeat of Mr.. A. c. Wilson would
doom to defeat any efforts which were maze
in the interests of the school. Later events
have served to prove the fallacy of the argu-
ment The Herad honestly believes that
had Mr.. Wilson been elected to the legls-
lature Normal school would not have been
treated very kindly at the hands OF the
legislative body as the cry OF SeIt-ihtereS'
would have undoubtedly been raised against
Homecoming star of FrOstburS.
On the other hand later events "Pror"
that. after Mr. Wilson's defeat, whether
brought about in any degree by the star
or not, the provision made which enabled
him to stay at Annapolis was Just the
next best thing to election that could
have happened.
More than any other man, he is the
architect, builder and promoter oil a
measure which takes the State Normal
School out of the hands of the super
animated Board of State Aid to Charities
and places it above the plane OF Beggary.
More than any other man, he devised
the scheme which adds quarter OF
million dollars to teachers salaries III
the State. and brings IS, 900 to AlleSaAy
county alone for this purpose.
More than any other man. he had
shown grasp of educational needs IL
county and State, and an aggresslvcn"Ss
which brooked no discouragement-this
from the beginning of his career on the
stage of public education.
And yet, after defeat-after majority
of the people had repudiatcd every good
purpose for which he openly stood-un-
dismayed and undauntcd, he entered
the arena where the battle for schools
and teachers was to be fought out, and
he won!
If there is another man i'll Allegany
county who would have done this, the
JOURNAL does not know him.
This. we repeat, was the man who
was especially antagonized what:
The one and only answer is for the
survival of the meanest, most despicable,
most damnable of all interests-mcre
party success.
But the man, men, paper, papers, party

Acknowledgements the perpetuity OF
the State Normal School, and oppoxrh

These may now rejoice over the estab-

basis, and congratulate the teachers upon
long belated recognition of their claims,
but when they do so they glorify con-
summations which they did all i'll their
power to prevent.

SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS.
e. O. Allen Rounded Up by His Chi
caso Employer Yesterday.
From Fridays Daily.

f. 0. Allen, young man in the en-
ploy of A. B. Carson & Co. of Chicago,
firm dealing in slot machines whereby
the person who puts coin in the crew
ice, obtains this or that household ar
ticle as chance may determine, has been
at the Clifton House since Nov. 10 last,
and has been registered under the name
of R. f. Gray of New York. Yesterday
one of the proprietors of the Chicago
firm which Mr.. Allen represents came
to the Clifton House after the young
man and inquired for Allen, stating that
the young man was about 5000 short in
the cash he had turned over to the firm.
The young man was found and was in
formed that the matter must be set
tied up. Allen telegraphed for help to
his father, one Prof. j. H. Allen of Dob
son, N. c. He then left with his en-
ployer for Chicago. Mr.. Allen is a gen
tlemanly appearing young fellow, but
it appears that he got into bad COM
pany and ran through more money
than his own personal resources would
warrant.
