A Rare Opportunity.

Prospective purchasers of property at
Thurmont are offered rare opportunity
to purchase most desirable lots, which
are now being laid off on the Shipley
farm east of town. These lots should
command good prices on account of their
exceptional location, being high and well
drained, and within pleasant walk to
the railroad station, postoffice, churches,
stores and schools.
All the Shipley property will be sold by
the Mercantile Trust & Deposit Co., OF
Baltimore, Trustees under the will of
Charles Shipley, except the Home
property, which includes the dwelling and
all adjacent land.
This sale should attract some city peo-
pie to us, and there is no reason why
Thurmont should not now become as pop
ular as other mountain resorts, from the
fact Of most desirable location as we'll as
exceptional railroad facilities, electric as
we'll as steam.
Those who have friends who have in
clinations favorable to locating here and
who may not have the means of hearing
of this sale, should send them copy of
the advertisement of sale. Let every
one make special effort to make this a
"boom" sale. 1t will help everybody in
directly, if not directly.

"In Frederick county it is conceded
that Mr.. John P. T. Matthias, of Thur
mont, will be the Republican nominee for
the state Senate. Mr.. Matthias is a re-
tired Baltimore merchant, where he was
in business for many years, retiring to
his native county in 1894. He is a gen.
tleman of the old school, of independent
means, and was member of the House
of Delegates in 1902. He is a member
of the commission which built the new
Statehouse, to which position he was ap-
pointed at the personal solicitation of
Chief Judge McSherry and the late Cen
eral Baughman, both of whom, political
opponents, were his warm friends. Mr..
Matthias is a man of culture and ability,
and his election to the Senate, which is
practically assured, will add to the
strength of that BODY

A Hotel Site,

There has long been discussion OF
having proper site for summer hotel
in our midst. The opportunity now pre-
sents itself and we should see to it that
the site laid out on the Shipley farm be
purchased for that purpose.
There is no installing this being an
ideal spot for hotel. There is no more
commanding view anywhere near us with
so many decided advantages of location,
view, drainage, ease of access, etc.
Let public spirit be aroused, so that
we get summer hotel. The electric
road makes it necessary for us to have
something more than a few boarding
houses. We cannot now accommodate
our summer guests who want to stay
with us-hundreds being turned away
each summer.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
frpoh OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, D. c., APRIL 9TH.
Presidential candidacy politics have
been secthing in Washington this
week. 1t is quite natural for the
President Roosevelt to assume to die
tate tho nomination to the next Pres
idency. He has been elected to his
present Office by an unparalleled MA
jority and it is widely conceded that
he is more popular now than when
he was elected. The desire that he
shall run again is well nigh universal.
So great is the aspiration of the peo-
ole for another term of Roosevelt that
they refuse to believe his positive, oft
itcrated assertion that he will retire
at the end of the present term. Know
ing this feeling as he does he cannot
doubt its meaning and it is nothing
more than reasonable for him to as
sumo that he cannot fulfil a univer-
sal wish by accepting the Office in
person he can least name a proxy
or successor. This is all there is to
it and it is certainly enough. There
are millions of enthusiastic support
ers OF the President who long to see
the politics and enterprises that arc
known as "Rooscveltian," accom-
plished and have no hope that they
will be under the sinister and abhor-
rent minority that is working for the
old gang in support Of Fairbanks,
Foraker or Cannon.
The feeling that Roosevelt must
succeed himself either in person or
by some one nominated by him and
in accord with him amounts to a
passion and is almost as broad as the
country itself. If there were an cleo
ton today he would doubtless carry
a number of Southern states and
would be backed by Congress over
whelmingly in favor of nearly every
measure he has advocated.

Road Law Is Upheld.

In an opinion written by Judge Burke
in the appeal Of Ohio T. Fout, William
T. Lewis and others against the County
Commissioners of Frederick county, the
Court of Appeals upheld the validity of
chapter 225 Of the Acts of 1904, known
az the Shoemaker Road Law. The va
lidity o. the portion of the Act which de-
ponds upon the voluntary action of the
commissioners of the several counties has
already been uph, aid by the Court of APP
peals in another CASE
The decision of the Court OF Appeals
reverses the order of tie Circuit Court
for Frederick County, with Chief Judge
McSherry and Judges Mott.r and Hen
derson on the bench. The reve." sal OF a
decision of Judge McSherry is an unusual
incident, and has not occurred previC usiy
in the recollection Of anyone connectcd
with the Court of Appeals.
The appellants in the case sought to a.
vail themselves of the right under the
Shoemaker Act Of having the road ada
cent to their property repaired by the
payment by themselves of 10 per cent
of the cost, and applied in due form to
the commissioners for that purpose. The
commissioners declined to act, holding
that the law was invalid because its title
did not sufficiently describe it's subject
matter, and because it was alleged that
parts of the act were in conflict with each
other.
The Court of Appeals held in its opin-
ion that the constitutional requirements
of title were fully met by the act. Meth
DDS, it holds, are not required to be set
out in the title. The Court of Appeals
also finds that, taking broad view OF
the act, there is no part that is contra
dictory to any other, or that is not pos
sible of reasonable Interpretation.
Messrs Glenn H. Worthington and j.
E. r. Wood, attorneys, who tried the
case for the petitioners, are much graft
fed at the decision handed down by the
higher court.
