MIDLAND vs.. FRosTBURG.


Last Saturday down at Midland As
ISOLATION Park "Our Own" fetched up
against the Giants for a little salts
faction and got it, too, writes Keno.
Every man from the metropolis played
the game i'll the very best style and put
Freddie Entler 'to the tall timber.
Big Bill Lang was then put i'll, but just
now all pitchers look alike to the Frost
burg bunch.
Flanagan pitched game that was a
revelation so far as his pitching went. 1t
was a sure-enough 'shut-out,' and but
for the errors of the in-tield i'll fifth in
ming nary score would have been
tailed by the Chants"
Owing to Jackson's injured hand,
Henry, of Homecoming, was selected to
do the work behind the bat and he re-
ceived the goods i'll excellent style.
Nothing escaped him and his hitting
was all to the good.
The ont field got everything that came
their way
The in-field was "off color" i'll the
fifth, allowing the Giants to score
three runs.
Entler did the pitching for Midland
during the first five innings and "Onr
Own" found him an easy mark, making
eight hits and seven runs in the first
two innings Lang succeeded him III
the fifth and "Our Own" scored two
more runs III the last four innings.
The attendance was good and the UNI
pire, Walle Ray, was just.

4 Present Duty.


Without delay the County School
Board, in the employment of teachers,
should adopt permanent policy OF
giving open preference to those who
have availed themselves of the State
Normal Summer term for better fitting
themselves for their work.
In other words, employment should
become prize premium for the b"St et-
fort to learn to do the best work.
Otherwise, the prime object for the
establis hment of the State Normal here,
or anuwhere, will not be achieved.
The pupils OF teachers who repudiate
Summer-Term opportunity to magnify
their office" will lose much that the
State Normal is intended to bring to
them-indirectly bnt surely.
And the teachers, now, rs heretofore,
relying on political, social, or personal
pull" or posing as beneticiaries of a
misapplied charity, will continue to
throw away the satisfaction which con-
scious qualifications for office always be-
slows upon its incumbents.
Hence, starting as we begun, it is the
immediate duty of the County School
Board to begin making State Normal
School training as much a requisite
to employment as "A diploma from the
State Normal graduate.

TOWN AND VICINITY.
\ Notable Improvement.


The First National Bank has COM
pleted its fiagstonc pavement smooth,
pretty, durable sidewalk. Walking
least one solid place on earth for the
promenade of human feet. Nothing on
or along side Rome's Appian Way, the
oldest and best thoroughfare in the
world, can be better than this pavement.
In this connection the JOURNAL learns
that Messrs. Hitchins, Watts d Hitchins,
on the opposite side, are strongly in
clined to duplicate the First National :
enterprise; moreover, that both are
willing to go in partnership with the
town i'll paving the street with brick,
provided this Improvement can be
carried to the southern side of Mechanic
street.
With fiag-stone pavements and brick
floor street. that portion of Broadway
would be worth pointing to with pride"
and as a pattern for the enterprise of
other sections of town.
Just before laying the large stone in
front of the door the Bank authorities
thought it good thing to memOrialize
the age wherein the improvement was
made. Accordingly, they secured a tin
box and placed i'll it il map of the cur
rent Worlds Fair; few nickels,
pennies and postage stamps-mintage
and printage of 1904; latest printed
statement of each of the three town
banks; copy each of the Cumberland
Ne~s and Times, Homecoming STIR of
Frostburg and the JOURNAL. Then the
box was sealed air-tight and placed
under the stone named, there to remain
until the steady, continuous tramp.

hF JAPAN SHOULD SEIZE KoREA7
What would occur if Japan should
seize that old.fashioned peninsula
called Korea?
Va formulating an answer to this
question Il should be borne in mind
that Korea was formerly depend
ency of Japan The suzerainty Of the
mikado's kingdom over Korea began
17OO years ago, that country remain
ling tributary to Japan for 300 years
In 1894 a Japanese army again invad-
ed Korea, which was at that time un-
der the protection of China. The
peninsula was laid waste, and the
greater part of her treasures was car
ried to Japan Korea became again
tributary to China in the seventeenth
century. and not until 1876 did Japan
wrest from China an acknowledgment
of Korean independence.
Japanese influence at the court of
that country has been steadily grow
ing for the past twenty years. This
influence az length resulted, about six
years ago, in the establishment OF
sundry reforms in Korea's civil and
military systems-the opening up of
her mines ami resources and the re-
modelling Of her government according
to Japanese ideas.
Il is this suzerainty over Korea
which Russia now threatens, and
which Japan is preparing to defend
The Review of Reviews gives it as
the opinion of many impartial experts
that. if war should occur promptly.
Japan would have the advantage, her
fleet and her army being in full readi-
ness for action
But Japan's only hope for perma-
nent success says that periodical,
would seem to lie in a policy of ex.
treme swiftness and holiness. Such
policy, for instance. would involve
the seizure and annexation of Korea,
and would be followed by war with
Russia only as Russia should dispute
such annexation and should attempt 20
drive the Japanese out. Having aotu-
ally seized and occupied Korea. Japan
might propose TO negotiate with Rus-
sia on the basis OF acknowledging
Russia's permanent authority in Man
churia in return for like acknowledge
ment regarding Korea. 1t is fairly
probable that If Japan were bold
enough to take such a course, aud to
act upon it with the utmost vigor and
particle of delay, her very audacity
might prevent a protracted ana bloody
war and might lead to a permanent
and valuable solution of the far east.
