Net balance in county's favor SIS, 163 03
When a statement is given with
such frankness and detail, followed,
as it is elsewhere in this issue, by an
invitation for an inspection of their
open books by anyone interested, it
IS not conceivable that it is not
given in good faith, and substan-
italy correct.
In the statement of the Times it is
charged that $4,000 is due the
school commissioners.
The sum of $40, 900 will be due the
board on June % next, which is
twenty-five days after taxes for
1906-7 are due and payable; and
the county board states it will fol-
low the universal custom when it
pays the same from this levy.
Second-But is the statement Of
the Times fair, or is it intended to
deceive the public and prejudice senti-
ment as we are about to enter upon
a political campaign for the nomina-
ton and election of a majority of the
Board?
That it is not fair is proven from
the summary already given, and is
another evidence of how figures may
be handled to reach conclusions de-
sired by their manipulation. As this
vein of campaigning has been so fire.
quently repudiated by our people in
the past, we can but wonder that it
is to be the keynote in the coming
election.
But there is class of people other
than electors who at this time may
be seriously affected by so menacing
a statement. In another column
bonds to the extent of $4,000 are
advertised to be sold at an early day,
and we respectfully submit that if
the Times succeeds in destroying our
credit abroad and thus beating
down the value of our own securi-
ties, it will have accomplished a
rather thankless and expensive task.
Much stress is laid upon carrying
over into the succeeding year an
overdrafl of any one account While
this is bookkeeping, in our judgment
it is not wise bookkeeping, and we
hope that the board will regularly
close their books at the end of each
year.
The -4;gis does not propose to
stand for or endorse in any way
what it has a reasonable right to be-
Iieve is questionable or crooked in
the administration of public affairs,
but it will always be found on the
side of those who believe that there
are two sides to ledger account,
and that startling statements should
not be made i'll public print, until
every reasonable effort has been
made to verify them.

HARTFORD cOUNTY,s INDEBTEDNESS

HARTFORD COUNTY'S INDEBTEDNESS
In its last issue the Bel Air Times
editoriallv makes a vicious assault
against the administration of our
board of county commissioners,
and states that the county is in
debted to the extent of $S1, 562,07.
Locally it makes thrilling statements
under the headline, "Harford's Debt
Startling" and goes on to show
"how they the commissioners fool
the people"
First, and vitality, was the county
heavily in debt on April 80, which is
the end of the fiscal year?
The Board states officially that
apart from possibly a few minor &C
counts which do not practically af-
feet the situation either way, the bal
ance sheet stands as follows:

CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKE.
Great Disasters Origin Explained BY
n Scientist

Great Disasters Origin Explained Ey
n Scientist.
The following is the opinion of a not
ed American scientist on the cause of
the San Francisco earthquake:
DR.. G. F. Becker, chief of the divi-
sion of physical researches of the
United States geological survey, who
lived many years in California and
who has made a special study of seis-
biological disturbances for the govern
ment, says the earthquake in CalifOT-
MIA has 40 relation to the recent erup-
tions of Vesuvius. He ascribes the
shake" to an unusually acute develop
ment in the process of ''faulting."
which has b-en going on along the Pa
cific coast for thousands of years. says
Washington special TO the New York
Tribune. This process consists in a re-
adjustment of the rocks forming the
crust of the earth
The people of California" said DR..
Becker, have not been having their
usual monthly shakes recently, and
so this time they got them in a lump.
The case might be Iikened to that of a
man suffering with fever. whose regu-
lar attack of chills in mild form had
perhaps been postponed for a long
time and then the disease shook him
all at once in aggravated form.

a peculiar geologic mark to be noted

nation being nored generally. Con
tinuing the examinations still more,
we find that this same general fOrma-
ton extends to Japan. Actually it
may be described as a great line Of
uplift in the earth's surface extending
all the way from Singapore around to
Valparaiso.
1T would not be surprising IL we
heard of severe shakes along the fis-
sure extending from California to
South America, which l have describ-
ed, and possibly we will hear reports
of q disturbance in Chile similar to
that in San Francisco, but 1t would be
due to the same change in elevation l
would like to add that l do not think
there is any danger of a recurrence of
a severe earthquake of this kind in
California for very long period of
time. OF course there may be mild
shakes for some time. but the read
justment of the earth's crust in this
disturbance was probably so complete
that there will be no change in the
geological formation for many years.
The people of San Francisco should be
encouraged to go ahead and build up
their city greater than ever, because
they may feel confident that the worst
is over"

Costly Art Treasures Lost.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York has lost in the San Francis
co fire nearly all of the paintings be-
queathed to it by Coils 2. Huntington,
says the New York Tribune. The fire
that swept over Mob hill early the 9th
er morning overwhelmed the old Coils
?. Huntington house in California
street, between Mason and Taylor
streets Stored in the old house was
the greater part of the art treasures
collected by the railroad man. In ad-
dition to the pictures comprising the
metropolitan legacy were nearly q
hundred others of lesser note. Mr..
Huntington spent years in acquiring
this collection. When he died the beS'
pictures in his collection were willed to
the Metropolitan museum. A condition
in the will, however, left them in the
possession of the family during the
lives of Mr. Huntington and Archer
NJ. Huntington, and not until their
death could they be hung in the mu-
scum. Some pictures in the legacy
Mrs Huntington brought east. and
they now hang in her Fifth avenue
house in New York and her house at
Throgs Neck, but they form only
fraction of the entire collection left by
Mr.. Huntington, and the loss TO the
museum represented by the destroyed
paintings will amount to many thou

OTHER BIG EARTHQUAKES.
Charleston Disaster RecaIIed-Thou-

The last great earthquake in the
United States was that Of Charleston,
S. c.. in 1856, says the New York
Tribune. This earthquake was proceed
ed by minor tremors. to which little
attention was paid. The principal
shock occupied about one minute, and
other shocks followed at intervals with
gradually diminishing violence. At the
end of four weeks they had ceased to
be destructive. but tremOrs were oc-
casionally observed for several months
longer.

Extravaganza for the Dead.

Burial customs were once modest
with our people. But complicated and
costly living appears to have made
simple dying impossible, remarks the
New York Mail. We run to weak os-
tentation in the surroundings and
trappings of mortality. 1t is necessary
to obtain this, to purchase that; it is
the only good form, nothing else will
do. It is the consideration Of the liv-
ing that we think about, not the sim
pie respect due the dead. We forget
that the costlier the earthly memorial
we erect the shallower may be the rec
ord that we cut upon the tablets of
our hearts.

Buried by the Public

In some cantons of Switzer-
land all the dead, rich as we'll as
poor, are buried at the public ex-
pense.

the glorious Fourth and Christmas
are rolled into one in the land of
Dixie.
Christmas bids us good-by at Homo
lulu and sinks into the ocean. In
Honolulu the little boys and girls do
not write to Santa for Christmas pre-
sents. They telephone, as there are
more telephones in this little city
than in any place Of It's size in the
whole wide world. 1t is doubtful if
there is house IN Honolulu that is
not supplied with a telephone. Santa
is called up by the children over the
phone and told what he shall bring
for Christmas On Christmas morn
ing he is thanked over the phone
and at night the little ones telephone
their friend goodbye for another year
until he once more begins his round
from his home in the broad Pacific.

the devout to early services. Many
beautiful costumes prevail through
out the land with regard to the man
gers that are built everywhere for the
Holy Child.
About Naples, at Christmas time,
the peasants come down from the
mountains and go from door to door
asking aims. At each home they are
received and invited to play weird
music upon their homely instruments
before the pictures Of the Mother and
Child to be found in each and every
home in Italy.
In Spain and Portugal the day pas
ses very much as in Italy.
Among the Germans, Christmas is,
of course, the great festival of the
year. There was born the Christmas
tree, while in England the Yule-log
and the mistletoe reign supreme.
In Switzerland, Christmas is cele-
brated in the French, Italian and
German ways. In one canton, Kris
Kringle visits from house to house,
the Christ Child on his shoulder,
with presents for good little boys and
girls and switches for those who have
not been so good during the year.
In the Austrian Alps the simple
peasants believe that the beasts of
burden are given speech during
Christmas Eve, and the peasants dis
guised as animals haunt the homes
of the rich, demanding presents.
In the Swiss towns near Italy the
village carpenters build manger in
each home in which rests the waxen
bambino. Priests in white march
from house to house blessing the Holy
Child, and as they leave the feasting
begins. In fact, almost every kind OF
Christmas festivity may be seen side
by side in Switzerland, for the Amer
lean and English colonies add their
customs to those Of the multi-popu-
lated little republic.
Christmas Day is almost over fol
the rest of the world when it dawns
upon the good New Englanders.
| Turkey and trimmings make the
feast here as in the South, but while
the New Englanders preserve the san

The Lip Seal Broken.

Sioux City Tribune: The seal on
the lips of Senator Kittredge, Of
South Dakota, has been broken. Not
since he gained his seat in the United
States senate by appointment five
years ago has he deigned to speak in
the state to the state he was suppos-
ed to serve. And in all the twenty
five years he has been III politics, he
has undertaken to run South Dakota
by steadfastly refusing to allow the
people to know what he proposed
doing, until he had it done.
This was his idea OF popular gov
ernment."
The people of South Dakota gave
President Roosevelt tremendous
plurality, thereby expressing enthusi-
astic approval of the presidents poll
cies. But the silent Mr.. Kittredge
refused to say even that he would
vote for the presidents railroad rate
bill until it became manifest that it
would pass. And then to escape be-
ing run over by the band wagon, he
announced in Washington that he
would introduce some amendments to
the rate bill. These amendments
were laughed at by the senate. But
it was Kittredge's way of ''helping"
the president whom his own state
had indorsed.
This was his idea of popular gov
eminent"
When the president and the depart
mental authorities were agreed that
the Panama canal should be OF the
