breast for heralding spring that children

That it shall he unlawful for the Bailiif,
night Police or any one acting Tor or as a
SPECIAL Police to enter any saloon while on
duty unless he shall hear noises or distur-
Dances in any saloon in said Town of Frost
burg, then It shall be his duty To enter the
place and arrest all persons concerned IN
riotous conduct and have them dealt with
according to law.
The above Is a very uuwlse provision
rs it leaves a chance tor an officer with
a wee Crouch for revenge to lnJure the
proprietor of a saloon, or some customer
of a saloon, since 1t requires on the part
of an officer that he only ''hear noises
in place to enter il. And as saloon
Is not a graveyard there will be more or
less noises in it when the place Is doing
business.
But this is not the worst feature of
this section 1t permits an officer to
enter a saloon for drinking purposes
while he is on duty, for, remember, the
word, 'nOiScs.' Is not qualified. So
then an officer can 90 drinking III every
saloon when there is number of Gus
toners i'll these places because there will
be noises where there Is drinking i'll
public places.

adopted. TAXPAYERS.

by Mr. Hanna? Did Mr.. Mealiug think
that poIiticuIig. the last-named should
be appointed, or the two former should
be retained for k0ow" comprtcucyl
Why. even the school children are advo-
eating Mr.. Meanings reelection, because ne
is very sOhCltOus as regards their safety
when they pass to and from school.
1t is most remarkable task for one
person to attend to POO or 80 chill
dreu passing to and from school daily in
all parts of the town Besides, it is not
on record that any child has ever been
killed or badly injured while going to or
from school i'll Frostburg. If children
are capable of taking hand in politics
they are certainly able to look after
their own bodily protection.
Mr.. Mealng it is conceded by the vast
majority of our people, is peculiarly lifted
for the office he now holds and to which he
again asplres.
Since "A Voter" claims that lit is
conceded by Il vast majority of our pco-
pie that Mr.. Mealing is peculiarly fitted
for the office he now holds, why does
he write such a long article to beg votes
for Mr. Meaing?
He maintains the good order of the town
to a prevailing degree HIS official record
contains no story of disorder. All law
abiding people under his care feel immune
from trouble or danger.
The fact should not be overlooked that
several officers are looking after the
order of the town. David d. Lewis and
William Bone, night policemen, have
the unpleasant part of the duty of main
tanning order i'll the town. Besides,
Owen England and John T. Lewis, con-
stables, are Ill the town "A great part of
the time.
But when was the time in Frostburg
that law abiding people did not feel
immune from trouble or danger COM
ing under the care of the Baihtf: The
order of the town was Just as good four,
six or eight years ago as now. About
ten or twelve years ago Il few new
corners We're inclined to he noisy about
the town, but several heavy fines and
lodgings III the lookup brought these
disturbers to their senses.
The issue. then, is squarely this-Shall We
elect as Balllti new and untred man who
might through lnCOmpetenCY, fear or favor,
allow the rowdy element to violate the law
with IMMUNITY. and thus harass peaceful
people. or shall we again elect Mr. Mcalng
who has maintained the law, peace and good
order of the town with fearleSSncss dignity
and conservatism?
According to the above notion of
electing Il new man as Bailitf we can
never have ii new man because every
new man will be an "untried' man,
who might allow the rowdy element to
"violate the law with impunity.'
To assert that there is any danger of
"the rowdy element violating the law
with IMMUNITY i'll Frostburg is SANDER
on the town, the citizens of which are
law abiding and the "rowdy element
would not be permitted to run the town
even though there Were no Bailitf here
This communication is not for the pur
pose of saying one word against Baihf

man and good officer. But he is not

Now that every voter in the town has
had an opportunity to read the provisions
of the proposed Charter, he should vote
lntelllgently for several good reasons:
That the town election is to be held ON
the first Tuesday i'll April is all very
good. But what about the date of the
nominations of candidates: Just as of
old-no provision made for the date of
the nominations, which should be at
least two weeks prior to that of the
election.
This very important defect alone
should defeat the proposed Charter, as
1t leaves the nominations of candidates
open to designing persons tor selfish
ends
Then the election for two years of
Mayor, Bailitf and Night officers is an
unwise provision. One year is long
enough, even though these officers make
good public servants. Should the people
think well of the matter, when any of
these officers will have done good SER
vice for year, it will be an easy matter
to re-elect them.
Here Is barbarouS provision:
TO regulate the use of hand-organs. or in
struments OF any annoying character, or
other ltineramt musical performances on
the streets, alleys or public places of said
city.
Why not regulate the noise of wagon
wheels, car-wheelS, the bark of the dog,
the hideous midnight news of the cat
conventions, the noise of the ballroom,
the bowling alleys, skating-rinks and
the exhaust of engines?
But who ever heard of IA baud organ
being an annoyance to Il sane, healthy
human being? The hand-organ is IA
great treat to many children in whose
homes there are no musical instruments.
Isn't everyone glad to hear the hand
organ as we have heard it from child
| hood days?
Think of town granting free Chart
ers to gaspipe line STANDARD Oil
Company and an electric road, and
then propose to tax poor old organ

Commentary,


fROSTBI re, MD, March IL, 1907.
70 the MINING JOURNAL.
In advocating the candidacy of Jabez
j. Mealing for Bailitf "A otter" in last
weeks JOURNAL says:
In investigating this matter we should
eliminate the question of politics. for the
reason that all intelligent observers will adj
NIT that the office is simply one of cOmpe-
tent, faithful, courageous and discreet
guardianship. There are no questions of
legislative character involved, but simply
one of executing legislation already enacted
If we are to leave politics out of the
election of Bailitf, why not out of the
election of Mayor and Councilmen ?
There are no political issues in the af-
fairs of Frostburg, and if one office
should be non partisan the entire town
government should be 50.
But if MI. Mealing's candidacy is to
be considered non political. will he place
his name ON an independent or citizens
ticket for nomination? Or will he have
his name ON the Republican ticket only
He again says:
Such being Mr. Mealng's record tor etfic-
ienCy, "Square-dealing' and merji0riouS ser
vice, why should we think of deposing him
for anyone whom we do not know would or
could make such record
Why, then, was Henry Fisher not re
elected? He made an excellent Bailitf,
and Mr. Mealing was unknown as an of
ticer when he succeeded Mr.. Fisher.
Or why was Mr.. Walker not retained
in the postmastership, which is not an
Office of Legislation, and requires only
competent, faithful courageous guar
dianship," all of which he possesses in
an eminent degree? Or why was Mr..
Benson, very competent postmaster.

Important Questions.

FEosrnrRG, Mp, March Is, 1907
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
There are one or two questions |
would like to ask the men who are men
toned as probable candidates for the re-
spectiVe offices i'll the coming election:
First-Will the candidates for Mayor
be i'll favor of any legislation that will
compel the property owners ON Union
street to pay their share of the paving
bill
One candidate has signitied his will
ingneSs to do this, because the new Char
ter was passed during his term of office,
but the amendment which was sent to
Annapolis land which, because of the
failure of the Hon. J. b. Shannon, was
not passed with the Charter by which
the paving bill could have been col
lected, provided the Charter is ratified
at the coming election.
Second Are the men who have been
mentioned as candidates for Council in
favor of or opposed to another 5-yeal
Light COntraCt-at the present eXtOrtiOn
ate rate paid by the town:
| would warn the voters at this time
to keep their eye on certain parties, who
it is said, are working hand in hand to
elect men to office who will be favorable
to the Light company and also favorable
to the re-appOlntmento of the present Tax
Collector
Third-Will the candidates for Bailitf
guarantee to the public that the streets
and sidewalks Will be kept clean, the
bitches kept open; that the sidewalks
are not piled up with snow, and the
