Shortage Of Cars.

An alarming shortage of cars exists
among the railroads operating east
and west The scarcity of cars has
become so great that several of the
large western and eastern companies
are offering all kinds of com pensation
for the use of cars Of roads that are
not in the direct grain carrying trade.
For several days the Burlington COM
pany have been SO short of cars that
it's officers are offering to loan any
number of their locomotives for suffi-
cient freight cars to handle the traffic,
but have met with poor success.
They succeeded in making a trade
with the Lake Shore company. The
agreed charges for the use of freight
cars Of one road by another line ac-
cording to the per diem charge is 90
cents day for the first twenty days
and then the charges go to 81 day
but several of the roads that are ex.
periencing famines are Offering 81 a
day for every day they use car.

MONEY IN POLITICS.

1t is an additional fact that the
greatest source of corruption in the
politics of the country is money. On
the one hand, it is alleged that the
politicians are responsible for this
condition and they are charged with
holding up and sandbagging the bus
mess interests. On the other hand
it is alleged that the business inter
ests are responsible and it is charged
that they bride leaders, bosses and
politicians generally in order to get
some favor or privilege which they
ought not to have. However, this
may be, all are agreed that the coh
dition exists. What is the remedy?
We have laws against bribery gener
ally, against bribery of public off
GERS, against bribery of voters, etc,
but they all seem imperative. AT
least they are powerless either to
stop or check the corruption. In
view of this fact and the further fact
that no one seems ready with a rem
edy, we are emboldened to make two
suggestions which we believe may
have a tendency, if enacted into law,
to better conditions.
1. Prohibit any corporation from
contributing to the funds of any po-
litical party, or paying for any seryi-
ces which do not pertain strictly to
its business and have its books open
to examination by proper authorities
so that it NAV be readily learned
whether any contributions to polit-
zeal parties or any prohibited pay
ments have been made.
2. Prohibit the bonding or mort
gaging OF any corporation on earning
capacity and, to make this effective.
make void all bonds or mortgages is
sued against the property of cor
poratiOn, over and above the actual
value of the property.
These would be drastic remedies
We know, but any remedies to be eff
fective will have to be drastic.

There should be in every communi-
ty a we'll organized literary society.
The work is important and the ad-
vantages to the youth are many. The
boys and girls of the present will one
day be the men and women of this
great country and will occupy the
positions of responsibility and honor
in both church and state, and the ed
ucators should see to it that each gen
Grafton. fills these places with great
er degree'of efficiency and credit than
the preceding one.
Since the above general principles
are true we wish to apply them to our
own county of Garrett.
Our superintendent is greatly inter
ested in literary work, yet his sphere
of duty does not bring him in touch
with it so directly as the teacher is
brought day by day. 1t is, therefore,
part of our business as teachers to
organize these meetings so as to in
cite healthy growth that develop
the God-given talent in the bright
boys and girls of this county. A sue
cessful literary society must do or be
three things: first, it must be enter
tanning; second, it must be instruc.
tive, and third. it must be elevating.
On these three points hinge the sue
cess or failure of literary program
Hence we offer few suggestions de-
signed to be helpful to attain to the
ideal.
An exercise must be entertaining in
order to awaken interest, yet it is pos
slble to have an entertaining pro-
gramme and at the same time have a
downward tendency.
Weshould guard most carefully the
thought and language in writing our
papers and in selecting our speeches
and dialogues, and eliminate such as
border on the vulgar and profane,
and retain only those that instruct
and elevate.
"a little nonsense now and then is
relished by the wisest men, yet it is
a mistaken notion that an entire pro-
gramme must be fun, all fun" 1t
is we'll to have humorous selections.
and there should be other selections
of good solid merit developing the
moral side of the mind, teaching the
children to weigh and consider the
serious problems of lille which might
ly concern their future career.
The great men and women who
have blessed the conditions of society
and elevated the race are the men
and the women who were deeply
rooted in those moral principleswhicb

Judge keedY Calls Grand JurY's AT

Judge Keedy, in his charge to the
Washington county grand jury, Mon
day, called attention to the practice
of CHANGING off articles so prevalent
in this community, but he forgot to
read it at the conclusion of the reg
ular charge, the paper being under
some law books. He sent the note
into the grand jury room later. I've
note follows:
There is one other matter which |
consider it my duty to call to your
special attention.
Judging from the newspapers and
from what has been a matter CT gen
eral knowledge and observation for
sometime, there seems to have been
an unusual number of articles of var
Gus kinds disposed of by chance.
1.-The scheme employed, which, in
principle, is the same in all cases, con-
stitutes a species of lottery and is in
violation of the law.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS
GONE ALL TO JERICHO
Boss Rasin, of Baltimore, Says 1t
Has Gone to Smash and Must Be
Reorganized or Go Out of


Has Gone to Smash and Must Be
Recognized or Go Out of
Business.
L. Freeman Rasin, the Democratic
boss in Baltimore, has broken silence
and gave out an interview Saturday,
Of which the following is a part. He
said:
''Why, the Democratic party has
gone all to Jericho. But it is no flu
neral of mine. We have practically
been out since 1895. l have had 40
years in politics and l have had
enough. Let somebody else attend to
all the little details
What is the future of the Demo-
cratic party in this city and State,
Mr.. Rasin?"
The chieftain drew a cigar from his
pocket, .:clipped off the end methodi-
cally, and then lighting the weed he
took several reflective pufTs before
answering. The party" he said,
''has gone all to smash. 1t must be
recognized or get out of business
who will reorganize it?''
That's not for me to say. There
are people now holding important Of
fees under the State administration
who were never at Democratic head
quarters in their lives. Possibly they
will run it."
How about Senator German? Is
he taking any active part in affairs
at preseut?n
"GOrman will serve his term out in
the Senate and quit. That's my opin
ion.
II have seen him but once in almost
a year, and that was at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel in New York few
weeks before Christmas. He was
there on private matters, and was
there with two of my daughters. We
met accidentally and did not discuss
politics, but of course some of the pa
pers made a to do about it, and had a
lot of tommy rot about conferences, ,
etc. Mr.. German will be nearly 70
years old, when his term expires in
the Senate, and guess he'll want to
retire.
what do you think of the Munich
pal Voters League, Mr.. Rasin?'
II don't know anything about it,
and | haven't heard it discussed a
great deal. This Governor of yours
is mixed up in city affairs, and guess
a lot of the reformers VIII be for the
League. Why don't they go ahead
and put up II ticket and elect it in
stead of waiting for somebody else
to do the work while they sit down
and write letters to the papers telling
/ how it should all be done?
my experience with reformers is
that they all want something and are
hotter after the jobs than the people
they abuse. | have never known
retormer that didn't end up bymaking
strong play for Il fat job. Some of
them want TO go to Congress, others
want to be judges, and still others
would light on anything in sight"

SILVER SERVICE FOR MARYLAND.
Movement Started to Raise Funds for
This Purpose.


a movement, having its origin in
Baltimore, to raise funds with which
to purchase and present to the new
armOred cruiser Maryland a silver
service, has taken definite shape, the
fund having been started with two
subscriptions amounting to $3.50, and
in nearly every county the spirit of
the cause has been felt In every
section there prevails a desire as well
as intention to go ahead with the
subscriptions and assist in making
the gift one of the most interesting
features in the States history.
In the SUNDAY edition of the Balti-
more AlfericGR interviews with the
mayors of many towns in Maryland
were published, among them being
one with Mayor McComas of Oakland,
which is reproduced below. the tele-
gram being in the nature of special
dated on the 18th inst, as follows:
Mayor Henry w. McOomas said
this evening concerning the sugges
tion for the donation of silver ser
vice to the new armOred cruiser Mary
land, that he is heartily in favor of
the project, and will lend his aid to
further the purpose. The people of
Garrett are as much honored and feel
as much interested in the cruiser and
her performance as those near tide
water; said the Mayor, and we are
all ready and willing to respond at
the first call Mayor McComas will
take up a subscription at once, and
is looking forward to a hearty response
from everyone. Members of the Town
Council also say that individually
they indorse this expression of the
Mayor
While Mayor McComas has not vet
solicited funds from any one for the
purpose above set forth there is slight
doubt but that he will be able to
raise a very respectable fund toward
the object. We should all be patri-
otto enough to contribute.
