In certain town are two brothers who
are engaged in the retail coal business. A
noted evangelist visited the town and the
elder brother was converted. For weeks
after his conversion he endeavored to per.
suade his brother to join the church. One
day he said to him-"Why can't you
Richard, join the church, as | did? ,"
Its all right for you to be a member of
the church., replied Richard, "but if join
who's going to weigh the coal ?''-Judy.

years ago in West Virginia town when
one of two newspaper partners, con-

sought the other to forsake his evil ways
and be good.

Ethics of Street improvement


When a public improvement is con
tempated, it should be ladened with as
few hindrapces as possible.
There should be az few conditions for
individuals to comply with as prac-
ticable-
If it be a street that is to be paved
from curb to curb, the town should pave
it. because, outside the curb, one citizen
owns no more interest than another.
In fact, the people are partnership
in town matters, and when the partners
pay taxes the proceeds are dedicated to
the general benefit as far and fully as
they can be applied.
Police protection is due to the whole
town without reserve.
So should be street Improvement
permanent as well as transient.
All the foregoing from the town 5 side.
When citizen wants some special
privilege, however, outside the curb, then
is time enough to consider him amenable
to special taxation.
This from the citizen's side.
Beyond both views the JOURNAL holds
that the town should pave sidewalks as
well as streets-for the same reason that
it should pave the streets.
Then the town can reasonably com
mand the whole situation.
But to compel citizen to pave the
sidewalk and three feet of the street,
and then permit a telephone, telegraph,
electric-light, or electric-road company,
or all four to plant poles on his reserva
ton is nothing more nor less than two,
three, or fourfold oppression

DR.. George L. Broadrup, of South

for the Republican nomination for the
House of Delegates. Reputably, the
doctor is an excellent citizen, and the

says he "has never held political office
through county election, but he is now
serving his third term III the Cumber-

elected by splendid majority. There
he has made "A good officer. He is a
native of Maryland, was born in
Frederick county, and came here to re-
side almost twenty-five years ago. For
some years DIR, Broadrup has been
prominent in the party, and he would
undoubtedly make good legislator if
nominated and elected
The republican primary for selection
of nominees for county ticket will be
held Saturday, September I.
Hon. James Campbell. jr., of Allie
gany, is i'll the field for denomination
and reelection to the House of Dele
gates. As indicated, "he has been

and would, therefore, make better
representative than before. The JOUR
NAL has always held that one session is
but a school term for those which ought
to follow The county that sends
novices to the Legislature every session
doesn't pursue the most profitable policy

be able to send three and two delegates
alternately for two sessions in order to

'h'S w 'uT i'i''it daughter,
ANAsTAsA LOUISE CHAMBERS,
Upon Her Third Birthday, by Her Father
All hail, my sweet baby
SO fair and so airy
Time has dealt kindly
This year that has passed
No dark gloom sorrow
Our fond hearts to harrow,
Nor dire threatening shadow
Has been DER the year cast
SO, in thankfulness ever,
We greet thee, our daughter,
upon the suspicious opening
Ot your fourth year in life
And may Fortune smile ever
On our dear little treasure,
And keep You, our darling,
From danger and strife
All, there's naught so inspiring
10 me, or so cheering
Midst the manifold duties
| daily discharge,
As the joyful home greeting
Each weekly meeting,
When my sweet little mischief
Is always lat large
To-day then, meet YOU.
And i'll thankfuness greet you
Upon your increasing charms,
My ANAsTAsIA Louise;
May your Iife's journey never
Be wanting in pleasure,
Nor your final place in it
BE wanting of ease.
