Address.

To the Allegany County Delegation:
You have observed, doubtless that the
Board of State Aid and Charities denies
its recommendation to the Legislature to
appropriate $4,000 to continue State
Normal School No. ? for two years, but
at least two important points in this
connection should be remembered:
l, State Normal School No. is not an
eleemosynary institution, certainly not
i'll the sense covered by the name of the
Board. 1t is state institution, OWned
by the State-as much so as the Balti-
more Normal school, which is not named,
or the Agricultural College, which Gov.
Smith says, sis practically State In
stitution," although "the State owns
only large share of its capital stock. {"
2, In his message Gov. Smith names a
number of other colleges, where the
higher education is given, as worthy of
Legislative aid-all pricGte institutions,
leaving the Legislature itself to take care
of .Stntc schools.
Indeed, it is fair to infer that he pre-
sumed the Legislature would provide for
all its O~n institutions its Normal
Schools as well as its Penitentiary.
The JOURNAL will continue to press
this matter upon your indulgent notice
as the weeks go on.

He Should Stay.

The Cumberland 'o"riPr reports Mr..
Kenneweg's reason for deciding to re-
sign after the levy is made as follows:
Mr.. Kenneweg desired to be retained as
President of the Board for the practical bust
ness reason that the President should be in
Cumberland, the centre and capital of the
county. If he has the confidence of the
other members so that they will grant him
the privilege can himself attend to hun
dreds of MINOR business matters for the ac-
commodation of the people interested. The
former Board granted this power, and the
Board never had any complaint of the
privilege being abused, and the people We're
very much accommodated Mr. Kenneweg
thought this accommodation ought to CON
tnue, and all the other Commissioners being
non-rcsldents of Cumberland he was the
only member to act as President at the
cOunty-seat.
This is Il fairly good reason, but not
conclusive-for the differing reason that
if the p"ople's interests have been sacri-
feed in the new arrangement it has been
done in the interest of nurty.
In this event, party interest. which is
singular, should be offset by party
interest.
In any event, tie p"opir's interests, al
ways plural, if injured in any arrange
ment, should be still cared for by Mr.
Kcnneweg to the extent of his oppor-
tunities as well as ability.
Moreover, Mr.. Kenneweg was tire
peopIe's choice for four years, and he
should appreciate that preference b. re-
manning and doing the best he can in
any situation wherein he is placed by
either the fortunes or misfortunes of
politics

a la Carte Dining Car Service on
Baltimore and Ohio Trains.

The popular demand, PAY for what you
get, and get it when you want it" induced
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to install.
some four years ago, u la carte dhote. With
the exception of a very few instances, the
a Ia cdrte service is used throughout the sys-
tenn because it affords the traveller an Oppor-
tunity of getting something to eat without
paying for more than he wants. In these
palatal cars, the coach as well as the Pull
man passenger can sit down to an immacu-
late table receive the attention of the best
trained walters. and secure, for the small
sum of twenty-five cents, a cup of coffee and
a bit of toast or sandwich. He pays the
usual price of ten cents for the coffee, ten
cents for a sandwich, and five cents for the
best service possible surrounding himself
with an appetising atmosphere, and having
the attention of the most skilled walters, all
for the above small amount.
Is not this infinitely better than hurrying
from the train to lunch counter, or to have
your coffee and sandwich brought to you at
your seat and be submitted to the annoy
ance of the acrobatic feats which neces-
sarily accompany such a performance?
The dining car service of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Is not outclassed any
where. New dining cars have been added
every six months, and the present equip
ment skilled service. and excellent cuisine
are of the highest standard. ltJl6

BrevitieS.

The result sought by both the Bryan
and Poe measures is the same. Each
aims to make it unconstitutional for
counties in the black belt to give a
majority against German.
The action of the State Aid and Chair
ties Board toward State Normal School
No. . is slap i'll the face for Frostburg,
Allegany county, and Western Mary
land, doubly insulting because that
body really has no more jurisdiction
over the school than it has over the
State Capitol at Annapolis.
If the colleges mentioned by Gov.
Smith are so deserving of State adm
other words, if the few eligibles for the
higher education, generally well off
pccuniarily, are so mertorious OF State
support, why not school which specifi-
cally prepares pupils for teaching the
many poor?
Ferdinand G. Latrobe and John Lee
Carroll are back numbers, relics of an
age slower than this. Why such an
tique economists should be placed and
retained in any public position passes
any current young or even rejuvenated
understanding. Instead of having them
in position to designate institutions
worthy of State aid they should be re-
tired-if INDECENT, on a pension. Both

usefulness They are not only super
numerary but superannuated.

Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done, yet it may
be of some help to consider the matter If
the cause is something over which you have
no control it is obvious that worrying will
not help the matter in the least. On the
other hand, if within your control you have
only to act When you have a cold and fear
an attack of pneumonia buy bottle of

judcously and all cause for worry as to the
outcome will quickly disappear. There is
no danger of pneumonia when it is used.

The Easy Farmer.

A workingman handed the following
paragraph to the JOURNAL a few days
ago:
Isn't it strange that the man who sits on
a stool and holds the money-bag, can con-
troll the man who sits on the meat-barrel
with his feet on the hOur-chest, holding the
meal-bag?
The farmer in the local union must settle
the question whether this strange fact shall
continue to be a fact.
The farmer has had this strange fact"
to deal with for many years, but every
time he goes to the polls he appoints his
party as his trustee.
And his trustee is the particular friend
and bosom companion of 1.-THE man who
holds the money-bag"

StOp 1t.

The JOURNAL very seriously doubts
the wisdom of the newspaper policy OF
.lecturing" the miners of the Meyers
dale or any other field while we have
peace at home.
In the first place, there is so far no
call for such structures here.
In the second. it is not respected by
those to whom it is ostensibly adj
dressed, and
In the third, 1t is irritating to hun
dreds, otherwise contented, who believe
it is aimed ut them, and that far in adj
vance of any possible provocation.
There are additional reasons why
troubles in other fields should not be
treated as though they existed or might
reach here, but just now it is enough to
'.let them severely alone"

Free Coal.

J. H. Wheelwright, assistant to the
President of the Consolidation, Fair
mont and Somerset Coal Companies,
writing to the Baltimore SIM recently,
tells of most unusual conditions
which have beset the bituminOus coal
trade during the year 1902-3-
First-the supply was inadequate to
market demands; few months later
can over-supply was manifest
Second-anthracite resumption dis
placed the bituminous that had been
the consumers resort during the strike,
and later industrial troubles i'll bitumi
nous fields added complications to the
demoralizing situation.
"The Maryland Goals, however,
by reason of superior quality and an
established trade, have not been so much
affected by the recent unsettled condition as
have some of the other bituminouS products,
Especially is this true of Baltimore and the
territory tributary thereto, which has been
singularly free from all interruptions and
distractions to industrial and manufacture
ing progress and an increased amount Of
coal has been consumed.
Lastly, with several cheerful refer
ences to railroad. coastwiSe and other
services and conditions, he concludes
The situation viewed at present would ap-
pear to warrant Il very encouraging outlook
for the ensuing year in the coal trade
The JOURNAL would have been glad
to see some reference in Mr. Wheel
wright's letter to the effect, if any, of
the suspension of the 67-cent duty on
coal for one year, now about termina-
ting-this because of the record which
follows:
During the first months of 1901
1,456,O74 tons of foreign coal was
imported.
During the corresponding months of
1902 there was an increase of 1868
TONS
During same period in 1903, however,
when coal was duty-free, the further
increase was 1.L55, Oi3 tons
This may be ga pool nobody wants
stirred but it really looks like highly
protected" New England enjoys ''free
coal"
Moreover, as two bills providing for
continuing free trade in coal are pend
ing both the New England and Mary
land vote in Congl ess will be worth
