SNOW HILL, MD. MAY %.

FROM all quarters there is severe
criticism of the navy for the recent
mishaps in which costly vessels have
been run aground while entering or
leaving domestic harbors The delay
of the Navy Department in promptly
publishing the facts regarding pilotage
accidents is responsible. to great ex-
tent. for the popular belief that avoid
able accidents are becoming more fire.
quent Little news is to be had on the
subject from those in charge. The re-
port of the Board of Inquiry in the
matter of the grounding of Rear Ad-
miral Evans battleships in New York
harbor has been submitted for several
weeks, but up To the present time il
has not been made public Possibly
this Is because it is unoflicially announ-
ced that the board in this instance finds
that no officer was to blame. but even
if such is the case. it would be better
for the navy that the report be publish
ed in order that the public may judge
for itself The public is paying for the
battleships and the public should know
whether the vessels are handled in a
careless manner or not. Congress will
soon be calling for the facts and then
they can be hidden no longer.

APPLY The LID OR VACATE.
Attorney-General Young Says State
Liquor Law is Plain.

The did" is within the reach OF
every community in Minnesota
that is bothered with Sunday
saloons, according to E. T. Young,
attorney general of the state. If
the mayor of the afflicted city can,
not see his way clear to apply the
did" he can be removed from office
for "wilful neglect of duty" or Email
feasance in office" That is all there
is to the action against the mayor
of St. Cloud.
St. Paul has Sunday saloons.
There is suspicion that over there
the people rather take pride in the
fact that the town is metropolitan
to the extent of having Sunday
saloons, and cherish them accord
ingly. But if formal complaint
were made to Robert A. Smith that
the saloons were open on Sunday
or otherwise were violating the
law, and if he ascertained such to
be the fact and refused to act, then
it would be the duty of the attorney
general to proceed against the
mayor, just as has been done in St..
Cloud.
UP TO REFORMERS.

ter 16 of the new code as his author

that chapter the application of the
did" is reduced to an exact formula.
Citizens who do not want Sunday
saloons have the remedy at hand.
"In keeping the lid on in Mime
apolis Mayor Jones has simply
done his duty" says the attorney
general. If he had not, on CON-
plant of any citizen he could be re-
moved from Office. Under the ex-
listing statute it should not be
hard for the reform interests in St.
Paul to nail the lid" on as firmly
as it seems to be fastened in Mime

fed before Judge Cant in district

the legal value of Mrs. Swanson's
life.
The witnesses said that the train
approached the railroad crossing
without warning. The horse be-
came frightened and ran down the
track. Mrs. Swanson was killed;
the cutter was smashed but the
witnesses escaped. The testimony
is favorab BILE to Swanson's conten-
ton that the railway company was
negligent.
Louis Dworshak, a photographer
of Duluth, who photographed the
railroad crossing and view of the
track, testified concerning the act
in behalf of the defendant. Testi-
mony will be taken for the defend
ant tending to show that Mrs.Swan-
son was killed through her own
negligence and that of her friends
instead of by the carelessness of
the train crew.-News Tribune.

IF one were to accept, literally,
the claims of political greatness of
some of our range exchanges they
would wonder how it comes that
occasionally one of the candidates
receiving their support gets"thrown
down" by the voting public. But
as hese self-laudatory editorials
are usually looked upon by the
public as SO much buncome thew
become purely an inconsequential
side-play, unworthy of note. Bv
way of explanation-the Virginian,
according to it's own expressed
idea, was the sole cause of the de-
feat of P: E, Bowling; but the paper
fails to record that E. L. Millar lost
votes at range points because of it's
support. The "chestyness" of some
editors is worthy of Populist.
