War On Saloons,

Mr.. William H. Anderson, of Balti-
more, State Superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of Maryland, visited
Brunswick last Sunday in the interest of
the leagues legislative campaign. He
spoke in the morning at the Methodist
Episcopal church, discussed the inside
political workings of the league at a
mass meeting at the Young Mems Chris
tan Association in the afternoon and de-
livered an address upon the saloon to a
packed house at Red Mems Hall at night.
Mr.. Anderson made reference to the
course of the Brunswick members of the
lower house of the last Legislature try
ing to get law passed changing the pro-
hibitory section of Brunswick's charter,
saying, "the fact that your county is a
close one gives you decided advantage.
If the majority party is insolent and dis
regards the temperance sentiment by
nominating candidates for the Legisla-
ture who are against temperance, then
make overtures to the minority party"

VANDALISM AT FUNERAL.

"While services were being held over
the remains of Lavina Freshour, this
city, who was buried at Thurmont, sew
eral persons carried away the floral
wreaths and punches of carnations and
roses. Persons who were present from
this city were shocked at the actions Of
the people whom they classed as van
dals.
The above item was taken from the
Hagerstown Globe, and we have to admit
that it is true. After reading the item
we made inquiry concerning the charge,
and were informed that while tho friends
were standing by the grave of their low
ed one, carnations and roses were torn
from the floral designs to be placed on
y. w., grave until nothing but the frames
and few leaves remained. 1t is unfort-
innate that Thurmont should receive no.
toriety in this direction and it Is not only
painful, but discouraging to those who
desire to place flowers on the graves of
departed friends and relatives, for fear
of having them carried away. We hope
that the sexton and officers in charge of
the U. B. cemetery take steps to prevent
further depredations of this character
and infict heavy fines on those who trans
gress the law,

Alaska and the Fair

The statement of Mir. Ca'e, congress sional delegut. from Alaska, that the citizens of the northern country feel sllghted because the exposition man agemeut has not given them repreSen- tatiou in it's organization. should re- ceive careful cons sideratlon. Alaska Is largely iute 'ested in the fair. There are many Alaskans thoroughly compe- tent to play an active part in the pro motion of the enterprise.
 On the face of it. Alaska is entitled to representation. Of course there has been no desire to overlook Alaska, or to question the fitness of Alaskans to participate in the management of the exposition.
 But if Alaskans feel that they should have representation in the Alaska lukOn-Pacific exposition organization, certainly such representation should be accorded them MT. Gale. who may be regarded as well posted so far as the people of the north are concerned, says there is some feeling on account Of this apparent oversight
 The situation should be remedied. Lukewarmness in Alaska will not be good for the fair. Besides. it may be avoided by giving AIaskans inc repre- sentatiou they seem to desire.--P.-I
