Why Not Raise Something
Else Than Wheat?

Why do not some of our farmers
consider the adyisability Of rails
ing tobacco instead Of wheat9
1t would seem that some sections
of Frederick County are suitable
for it. Per acre Of yield it pays
nearly ten times gross more than
wheat and the expenses are ad-
Unstable and not prohibitive of
a larger profit. Wheat at the
present prices is wasting time. 1t
is an easy crop and there is not
much work for the farmer, but
when it comes to getting all out
of the farm that there is in it,
wheat should not be considered,
except as side issue.

FOR BETTER TRAIN SER
VICE.
General Passenger Agent F. M.
Howell Here on a Mission Of
Much Importance.

Mr.. f. VI. Howell. General Pas
senger Agent Of the Western
Mary land Railroad, with head
quarters in Baltimore, was in
Frederick on Wednesday in the
interest of his company. For
sometime he has been taking up
with the Pennsylvania Railroad
the question of better service be
tween this city and Baltimore and
he thinks that in short time
Thugs will be in much better
shape.
At present there are two excel
lent trains to Baltimore in the
afternoon over the Northern Cen
trail from Frederick, but the morn
ing train neceSsitates II wait of
nifty five minutes at Brucevillt.
which is anything but pleasant.
In consequence the travel has fall
Ell off so much that the officials Of
both lines are beginning to sit up
and take notice. 1t is nearly NJ
TO them to make some effort to be
considerate of the travelling pub
lie and no; look upon them as the
railroads have been doing in the
past, as deserving of little alten-
ton. The development of the
trolley lines throughout the coun
try has deviated from the older
lines much of the short haul traf.
tic, and this is true of the Western
Maryland in its business from
Baltimore to Glyndon and from
Frederick to Hagerstown. On
the other hand the company has "a
fine service TO Oakland. Hancock,
and Cum berland. 1t must depend
Oh its long haul travel.
Realizing the state of things and
fully awake to the measures that
need to be taken to bring about
remedy, Mr.. Howell has been on
a still hunt for some time and now
has his plans well in hand. He
proposes for one thing to have the
Pennsylvania people unite with
him in giving better connections
at BruceviIle for all Baltimore and
Frederick trains. This he thinks
can he done without much change
in the existing schedule and will
be greatly appreciated by travel.

City over the Western Maryland.
Another thing he expects to ac-
cOmpliSh and that is to make in
Interchangeable between Frederick
and Baltimore all Pennsy lvania
and Western Maryland mileage
tickets, so that you need TO have
only one of either books to go to
Baltimore and return. This will
be a cOcesSion that Mr.. Howell
thinks will be of help to the trav-
elling public and will result in
great benefit to his road.
Mr.. Howell is a very interesting
and energetic young man, and
seems to be much in earnest in the
work he is now engaged in.

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

From the preliminary report of the Interstate Commerce Commission on the earnings of the railways in this coun- try for the year ending June 30, last, the Financial Age works otu this ex- hibit: The net earnings for the year aggregate $7s7,5s6,s77. or nearly ss7,OOO,- 900 more than for the preceding year. The income from other sources than op- eration amounted to $132,625,9S2, mak- ing a total of $s20,221,5S9. Against this amount were charged as interest. rents, betterments. taxes. etc, $5s0,3S6,554, and as dividends $22940659S leaving a surplus of s100, ,42S,707 for the year, as against $Ss.O43,49O in the previous year. The dividends declared in d9O6 were sS4,24s,6OS more than in 1905. The statement as to dividends does not em- brace those paid by leased lines from the income they received as rent The total gross earnings of the roads amounted to 9,76O,O3O, of which $61s,555,9S4 were passenger earnings and $1,64O,942,s s62 freight earnings, while the operating expenses aggregat- ed $1,532, ,163,153. These figures em- brace reports from railway companies operating 220,O2O miles of line, or about 99 per cent. of the mileage that will be included in the final report on the sta ustics of railways for the year. and The Age thinks they show that the campaign for higher wages for rail way employes is based on something more substantial than discontent. One hitch in the way of general increase i. the demand for higher wages ant shorter hours. There ought to be z middle ground by which justice can bt reached for both sides. While the rail. roads object to granting both demands there ought to be some way of prevent ing the overwork of engineers ant trainmen.

Tnr rArr or d unurr.

In the history of modern crime there are few more brutally revolting cases than that of Chester Gillette, the mur- derer of Grace Brown. His whole life has been a living lie. He has deceived all with whom he came into contact. Under the guise of piety he was vile. hypocritical scoundrel. He deliberate Iy ruined q pure, innocent and trusting young girl who was deceived and led down into the mire because she be- lieved n Him and had faith in his from ises Then. when he. had tired of her. when she was in the way of his other designs and ambitions, when he feared that Grace Browm living, might pre- vent the. accomplishment of other schemes, he deliberately, brutally, put her out of the way. Now, after he has been convicted, and sees that continued lies and denials win avail him noth- ing, it is said he confesses his crime in all its atrocious details.
 Sometimes there are murderers for whom one cannot avoid some feeling of sympathy. A man may be so work ed up by real or fancied wrongs that he will take human life for revenge or to right what he looks on as injury done him. A man may be oyerpow- cred by hatred or jealousy and com init murder in consequence. In many cases of this kind, while we cannot excuse the crime, or justify the crim- inal, we may have a human feeling of sympathy for him and regret that he must suffer death for his act
 But for such beasts as Chester Gill lette there can be no sympathy no
 palliation. no excuse. His crime was of the kind that neither manhood nor
 womanhood can or should forget or
 forgive. There are crimes which re- | move the perpetrator from the ranks of humanity and his was one of this
 kind. His first crime against the young girl was of the kind which does not
 deserve forgiveness, but our. laws deal Esomewhat fenientiy with such offences brutal as they are, but when he mur- | dered his victim as one would kill a snake, he passed the limit of forgive ness. Killing the girl was the logical sequence of a life of lawlessness and hypocrisy. His conviction was right and proper The sooner such blights
 on society are disposed of the better | for humanity.
