DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
1t Was a Tame Affair with Half of
the Districts Unrerresented

The long-heralded Democratic con-
vention to elect delegates to the Con-
vention to be held today in Hagerstown
where the empty honor of being the
Democratic nominee for Congress will
be thrust upon some unsuspecting mem
Der OF that party who has good bank
account, was held in Oakland Tuesday
with half of the districts of the county
represented.
The delegates present were from Dis
tricts Nos. l, 4, 5, 7, 8, and IA. From
No. l, however, two delegations were
present, each contesting the others
right to be on the floor of the conven-
ton. The committee on credentials de-
cided that DIR. Fazenbaker, who made
the contest for seat, had no rights the
convention were bound to respect and
ne was literally, if not bodily, fired
from the convention hall.
A number of speeches were made by
the delegates present and the name of
William Jennings Bryan, along with his
government ownership, free silver, six
teen-to-One, free trade, etc., ad inini-
tum, was cheered to the echo, uotwith-
standing the fact that nearly the en-
tire southern Democracy has thrown a
wet blanket over everything that is or
has been done to recoup Mr.. Bryan 5
fortunes since he made his speech in
New York where he launched the gov
eminent oU hership boomerang upon the
country.
Of course they had resolutions which
viewed with "alarl am" everything done
by the Republican. President and the
Republican Congress, but this was to
be expected. The local Democrats are
like their Nebraska leader, when they
have no issue they deem it their inher-
ent right to make one, and they do so
forthwith.
To attend the Hagerstov i convention
twenty-eight delegates were elected.
two being chosen from each District.
Of this number two are at Hagerstown
today, Mr.. William Miller. of Accident.
and Mr.. Carroll Pattison, Of Blooming
ton.

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 20, 1906.
FOR CONGRESS:
George A. Pearre.
WHY THE NEXT HOUSE SHOULD BE
REPUBLICAN,.

The election this fall will not change
the political complexion of the admins
tration. The Senate will be Republi-
can for several years to come. Even if
there should be political landslides, and
even if the people were disconnected
with the party in power, of which there
are no indications now, they could not
get satisfaction by electing a Demo-
cratic House of Representatives
To the ordinary voter whether Re-
publican, Democrat or Independent, it
would seem that the part of wisdom
would be to send safe working Repub-
lican majority to the House next Nov
ember, and hold the party thus rein
forced with authority to strict account
ability for its acts. If the Democrats
should control the next Congress, the
country could hold neither party to a
reckoning, for both would set up the
claim that it was without power to leg
islate according to its own ideas, and in
consonance with its declared politics.
The President was not uttering an
idle boast when he declared that I'm the
session just closed the Congress has
done more substantial work for good
than any Congress has done at any SEES
sion since became familiar with public
affairs" The record of the last ses-
sion substantiates that declaration. 1t
is on the statute books and cannot be
gainsaid. 1t is proven in the Railroad
Rate Law, the Meat Inspection Law,
the Pure Food Law, the Free Alcoholic
Law, and score of worthy measures
for the benefit Of the people at large.
No Congress can 90 everything, still
less can it in one session meet every
need. Some of the tasks will be COM
pleted at the short session, and others
will be undertaken which will take time
to finish, and which experience should
entrust to the Republican party, the
party Of initiative, to finish

DISTRESS IN COHNELLSVlLLE
Pumping of T1iHe Water Into the
Yough CauSin Much Concern.

Operations at the new mines at
Friendsville, Garrett county, Nd, are
about to commence and the people of
Connellsville, Pa, are considerably
agitated over the pumping of the water
from the mines into the Youghiogheny
river, from which stream Connellsville
gets its water supply. The only other
pure stream, known as Indian Creek,
has already been corralled by the Penn
sylvania railroad company, which COM
pany has erected giant reservoirs along
the streams course in Springfield town.
ship, Pennsylvania. The Baltimore
and Ohio railroad is making extensive
preparations to erect reservoirs along
its line to capture what pure water it
can. A chemical analysis of the water
of the Youghiogheny shows it already
very much contaminated with foreign
substances, especially sulphur. 1t is
the intention of the people of Connells-
vile to take steps to secure legislative
action to prevent having mine water
thrown into the stream. Connellsville

A GREAT RAIL ROAD.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company took a prominent and con-
spicuous part in the great jubilee cele-
bration at Baltimore last week. 1t sur
prisedeven the Baltlmoreans themselves
in the great number of employees lined
up in the monster parade. The Balti-
more American in commenting on it ed
itorially said:
AS platoon after platoon, company
after company of employees of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company
passed in review in the great industrial
parade in Baltimore yesterday the spec
tator had thrust upon him by the i'm
posing sight this question:
Does the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company employ so many men?"
Eyes, and thousands more than the
five thousand who marched through the
streets of Baltimore yesterday, for
those marchers were recruited from To-
cal shops and nearby points And what
is more, those thousands in line are not
only wage earners, but also wage-spend-
ers. What must be their enormous val
ue to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, for they were sturdy, con-
tented army, and what must be THEN
value to Baltimore merchants when
they and their families go forth upon
purchasing expeditions?
THAT was happy thought of Major
Pangborn, whose mind is not only orig
inal, but also executive, to show to the
people of Baltimore and to the thou
sands upon thousands of strangers here
a portion of the gigantic army employed
by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company. The display carried its own
moral.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
came fully up to expectations. Its dis
play Of floats was an appropriate setting
to the display of men by the Baltimore
and Ohio company"

The idea has been prevalent among
the farmers of this district for years
past that the soil and climate of Gar
rett county were not adapted to the
growing of corn, but those who have
visited the farm of Christian J. Brenne-
man near this village and have exam
med the most excellent crop of corn
now on shock in his field, must be con-
WINGED that the trouble has not been so
much the adaptability of soil and eli
mate as it has been the lack of skill
among the farmers. Mr.. Brenneman' S
nelghbors have given him the honor of
having the best field of corn grown in
this section this year and visitors have
pronounced it the best seen in the coun-

WOMEN MEN ADMIRE.

| have read whole reams descriptive
Of the women men admire;
Read descriptions of their bonnets,
Of the style of their attire;
Read of how they do their hair up,
How they talk and how they look;
But I've never seen them mentioned
As the women who can cook.
l have read the brand of powder
That they wear upon their face;
| know of the brand of corsets
That around their forms they lace;
know Of their education,
Where they went and what they
took;
But I've never seen them mentioned
AS the women who can cook.
No writer tells fellow
He should swift attendance dance
On the maiden who has studied
How to build a pair of pants;
Who goes singing round the kitchen
Glad and blythely as brook
Through valley; or the maiden
Who has studied how to cook.
But what would we be without her
Who, her dimpled elbows bare,
In white and starchy apron,
And a white cap on her hair,
Trips about q spotless kitchen
With a rapt and thoughtful look,
And her cheeks as red as roses;
The sweet woman who can cook.

IS SOON EFFECTIVE.
Applications for Permits Should Be
Addressed to DR.. Charles X. Brace.

Although the new child-labor law does
not become effective in the counties
until October 10, DR.. Charles H. Brace,
county health officer, has already issued
% permits for children under sixteen
years to work at places in this county
and has refused but one, that one being
on account of inability of the applicant
to read or write. There are a large
number of children employed in the silk
mill, the glass factory, stores and in
other lines in Cumberland and the other
towns of the county. There are many
boys under the age of sixteen employed
in the mines in this county, some Dig
glng coal, others driving, etc., all of
whom will have to secure permits to
work from the county health officer. In
addition to the state child-labor law,
Allegany county has local law,for COM
pulsory education which affects the en-
ployment of children under sixteen
years and which provides for truant
officers to look after and bring before
magistrates children under age who are
not attending school and the parents of
the children for hearing in such cases.
Several persons were arrested and fined
