Electric Railroads in Frederick County.
The following article was clipped from
tie Edito; columns of the baltimore
San Of recent date:
"The granting Ct charter to build Z
trolley rad from Brunswick to Middle
town, in Frederick county, again directs
attention to the rapid Development of
electric railroads in the western counties
of Maryland. Each of three principal
Western Maryland towns-Cumberland,
Hagerstown and Frederick-is the CEN
ter Of growing network Of these roads.
They are not only carrying passengers,
but freight also, and in this latter respect
are performing most useful service for
the farmers and others who are far from
market or steam roads. While in some
instances they compete with the steam
roads, they are, perhaps, more of an ad-
vantage than a disadvantage to them in
performing the service of feeders. Trans
portation facilities encourage and make
business. Where there is convenient
railroad, people travel more and many
products or by products of farm find
their way to market which would 60 to
waste if the railroad were far distant.
In Frederick county the trolley road is
especially important. Two steam rail-
roads cross this great county from east
to west-the Western Maryland, across
the northern portion, and the Baltimore
and Ohio, on the southern border. Be-
tween the two there is a broad expanse
of rich farming country, including the
beautiful valley of Middletown and many
towns and villages. This country suffer-
ed greatly for lack of railroad facilities
until an electric road was built from Fred
erick city through Middietown. This road
has been in operation number Of years
and has proved profitable, it is reported,
to the stockholders. Another road is
projected from Baltimore to Frederick,
thence westward across the Blue Ridge
mountains. A road is also projected from
Frederick northwest through the heart
of the county to Gettysburg, ard one is
now building from Braddock, on the sum-
nit of Catoctin Mountain, to Jefferson.
This new road, for which the charter has
just been granted, connecting Middle
town with Brunswick, an important town
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and
Chesapeake and Ohio canal, will cross
that beautiful portion Of Frederick county
known as the "Merryland Tract" and
through the southern part of Middletown
Valley. 1t will go through Burkittsville,
in one Of the richest farming sections OF
the State, and will give large popula-
ton easy access to the Baltimore and
Ohio road at Brunswick and also by troll
ley to Frederick and Hagerstown. Bruins
wick is the end of the first division Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, where
freight trains are "made up" for thei,
various Eastern destinations. 1t has 9
population of 5000 or 200 and is an ex.
cellent local market for the produce OF
the surrounding country. The invest,
ment of money in sound and wise loca
enterprises is always advisable, because
! they increase the value of the property
in a community and 30 pay in more way!

SUPPORT FOR 4 THEORY.

Lately we have been told that educa- tion isn't doing Woman much good, and that she doesn't have 1t in her to take full advantage of her educational op- portunities. NNw comes a fact in sup port of this theory. At Wellesley 1t has been impossible for the freshman class to hold dinner or give an entertain ment of any kind without the sopho- mores endeavoring to break it up. The class of 1909 has now resolved that it Twill not take part in any further in- reference with the affairs of the fresh man class" It has also resolved that such demonstrations are detrimental to the dignity of the college.
 We don know just what the Wellesley shout is, but that action doesn't seem to accord we'll with it. If girl sophomores are going to stop having fun" with girl freshmen what's the use of be- ing girl sophomore? Of course no attention in the way of imitation will be paid to the Wellesley performance by male sophonores. They know what the real value of being a sophomore is. And they know what sophomore who isn't educated enough to make it warm for freshman hasn't learned much.

Education.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 It seems strange to us who have had the advantage of watching educators and professors in our cultured city to learn from Arthur Benson's article in the Academy the sordid way in which Englishmen take education, Mir Ben- son says "Instead of thinking that 1t is a process which ought to end In mak- ing men and women more simple, more content, more happy, we have a vague Idea that it will enable us to retain our commercial superiority and to keep ahead of America and Germany. The success, in my belief. of German ed- ucaton is attested not by their com mercial prosperity, but by the fact that Germans are genuinely devoted to in- terectual and artistic pleasures.
 How different here where the young gentlemen come to Yale with no thought of ever earning a living but only with the idea of gaining culture and ideals. They get both, too We saw about 100 of them coming out of the Hyperion the other evening spit ting, whistling and lighting cigarettes in the lobby, all of which attainments show that they are sticking to their studies in culture and ideals and not becoming commercial.
 But, MT. Benson, cheer up! You will see improvements in England soon, for Sir Alfred Moseley is reported to be on the verge of sending several educators over here to learn our methods of edu- cation and they will of course come to our artistic city and will no doubt gain

involved. If Germany were at wa'r some 100000 men would be under arms, including many hundreds ofthou- sands of Social Democrats. How would it be possible then, he asks, to organ tze a general strike? Moreover, in the event of war, the Socialist leaders and organizers would probably, as in 1870, be placed under lock and key. A state of siege would at once be proclaimed throughout Germany if the Socialists so much as stirred. He was bound to recognize facts, and to confess that no other country was organized as Ger many was for the suppression of popu- lar movements In critical times.
 It has been suggested that a general strike should be declared in the event of an armed intervention by the Ger man government in support of the au- tocracy in Russia. Any such interven- ton, however, was out of the question, Herr Rebel declared. He did not in the least doubt, however. that "the heart of the German Emperor, of the government and of the bourgeoisie was on the side of the Czar." There was doubtless a strong desire in those quar- ters that the Russian revolution should be suppressed But actually to march German troops into Russia was a very different matter. There was no paral- Tel between the case of France in 1792 and that of Russia in 1906. All Europe was against the French Revolution, and even then the European coalition had failed. To-day no European coa- lition against the revolution in Russia was conceivable.

When Men Wear Bonnets.

tMilliners of authority assert that we are nearing the time when men will wear trimmed hats similar to those worn by Women)
 Give me hat" said Henry Jones, "a
 hat of straw and lace, And a buckle made of brilliant stones
 and q ribbon bright and red, And an ostrich plume that cleaves the
 air two feet above my head For I'm going out to sell a bill of goods
 that will tax my wit, And I've got to dress in mode and
 style that will make an enormous
 hit"
 Give me q hat" said Julius Brown, "a
 hat of sturdy shape Say bushel basket that will rest on my head from brow to nape, With pin that's like a husking pin,
 and some leather harness gear, And bunch of hayseed powdered on
 wnere the handle loops my ear, And a cob of corn on the very top in | bunch of wheat and oats For I'm nominee for congressman, and
 I've got to catch the votes"
 Give me q hat" begged Percy Smith, T care not for expense, But l want hat that In gay Farce
 would be perfectly immense, And l want the braid of a stifed brown
 hat will match with my mus tache,
 And a bow of pink and q bow of blue, if you think they will not clash For I'm going forth as q suitor now, and it's up to me to hump | Till I make her know that my rival beau is dowdy and trump" Give me hat" said Cunnel Gosh, "a hat, suh I can weah, With slice of melon on the rim and q mint leaf heah and theah, | And a straw or two stuck through and through and a plentitude of rye, And a ribbon fine that's the tint of wine when it's known asextra dry; And instead of pins put some cork , screws thaih, that the hat may be
 held on straight
 Foh I'm fah away from Kentucky, sah
 but I'm loyal to my State" l Give me a hat" said old man Green, T don't care what it's style, l But I want a hat that q man can wear considerable while | And I don't care what Is its form or shape or the way that 1t Is made | Or if it is twisted from bird-eage wire | or pressed in felt or braid; But Instead of pins 1 must have the brm lined with everlasting glue For the barren scalp of a bald -headec 1 man is what must stick it tol" St. Louis Republic

The automobile is first in peace, and first in the hearts of it's countrymen, but it isn't yet first in war. It is even doubtful whether the War department will include in the estimates for the military establishment next year 8 special provision for the automobile, with view to it's use in the field. Several machines of modern type, in- tended for passenger and freight use, were tested at the headquarters of the camps of instruction at Indianapolis, Chickamauga and Mount Gretna, and the reports received from the officers who used or witnessed the use of the vehicles indicate a favorable opinion of the carriage, but it is realized that the automobile has its limitations, and that for both passenger transportation and the carrying of army freight there will have to be final dependence upon the public animal in whatever variety 1t may be-the horse, mule or carapao. Automobiles will be used at headquar- ters for general officers and In getting about large camps, but for general field work, especially in a new country they will be little employed, say the military observers of the vehicle. This Is partly due to the fact that the au- omobile-despite all the tests made by manufacturers of them-does not fully meet the unusual demands of the work in the field. Another reason which may stand in the way of their general adoption will be the cost attaching to the machines.
 We had hoped that the next war might include wild charges by rows oi automobiles on other rows of automo- piles, but perhaps even this coun try isn't rich enough to afford that.

PICTURESQUE, BUr DAMAGING.

The untimely snowstorm in western New York was a picturesque affair but it did so much damage that it's pictur- sequences wasn't appreciated. The Utica Observer says: There had been no severe frosts to strip the trees of their leaves, and the wet snow lodged in the branches and bore the branches to the ground. splitting and injurlng the trees, and Tn many cases uprooting them. Orchards suffered severely. In mostof them picking the apple crop was under way. Thousands of barrels of fruit were damaged, for the apples were knocked off by the falling limbs and are so bruised and injured that they are now only fit for the cider mill or the evaporators. The great peach orchards suffered as severely as did the apple orchards, for in some locali- ties 1t is said that scarcely an unfbrok- en tree remains. The statement is made that the western fruit belt of the state has sustained blow from which it will not recover for many seasons. So early fall of snow of such depth is quite unusual, and there was no provision that could be taken against it's damage; though some of the fruit growers went through their orchards shaking the snow from the pverladen branches and thus preserved a number of their young trees
 There is no rest for the wicked and unhappy high financier, and there does mt seem to be much more for the good and happy farmer. It doesn't snow on his crops in July, but something is happening to him almost all the time And when it isn't actually happening he is more or less courageously expect ing it.

This is a world of change. Thus says the Geographical Journal: Per chance of no area of our great oceans do we at the present day know less than of the Indian Ocean within the tropics. Fifty years ago in the days of the great China and Indian clippers 1t was, save for small area to the north of Madagascar, alive with white wings, anxious to take advantage of every slant of wind or the smallest current. Its minutest characteristics were then the subject of anxious study, whereas now it's greater part is to most navigators. an unknown sea-

Hun dreds of steamers, laughing at winds and currents, pass annually from Alden to Bombay and Colombo on the one hand and to East African ports, to Madagascar Mauritius and Seychelles on the other. From Colombo, again, there are regular lines to Calcutta, Sin gapore, West Australia, Mauritius and South Africa. But, except on the lines from the Red Sea to Colombo and from the latter to the Far East and to Aus tralia, there is a relative absence of competition, want of that necessity for accurate knowledge of the winds.

Dr. Regiland Harrison, past vice president and Hunterian professor of pathology and surgery at the Royal col lege of Surgeons of England, declares in recent number of the Lancet of London that the increase of appendici- tis and related diseases is directly due to the use of boric acid and other chem deals for the preparation and preserva- tton of food. Dr. Harrison does not think that the conservatives used are directly or immediately dangerous their first step is to create flatulent dyspepsia, and their second step is to send gas into the appendix, So much being accomplished the rest follows mechanically.
