WASHINGTON LETTER.
(rRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, D. c., APRIL 18TH.
President Roosevelt continues his
strenuous life. There is no limit to
the nuts he has to crack and the
questions asked him and it would
doubtless be more agreeable to him
to crack the heads of some OF his
ouestioners with his big stick" For
example, the men who are held in
jail in Idaho charged with completely
in the murder OF the Ex-Governor OF
that state have learned that in his
correspondence with Hartman more
than two years ago he referred to them
in no eulogistic language and lot OF
sympathizers with these alleged as
sassins are asking the President if he
really did say those severe things a.
bout them and about Debs. 1t is
said that much confinement in the
White House and close consideration
of harassing questions is affecting his
health but saw him, Senator Lodge
and Secretary Root on horse back in
Rock Greek Park yesterday afternoon
and he is anything but pale and ema-
ciated. A part Of each day OF last
week he spent in the dentists chair
not as a visiting railroad man said
to have his teeth sharpened for few
more railroads" but in the ordinary
nerve racking process Of having them
filed. More than this, as if this and
his multifarious cares were not enough
he is sitting daily for his portrait
which is being painted by French
arts. for the Historical museum in
Chicago. In the last few days he has
had more than the usual number OF
Congressional callers for holiday time.
The Mckinley Panama party OF which
Speaker Cannon was a member has
been in the city and each member has
called at the White House to tell the
President all about the Canal.

Electric Railway.

Electric Railway matters are progress
ing very satisfactorily. In Frederick the
track has been laid from the Pennsylva-
MIA R. r. to Market street and as soon
as Market street has been crossed the
work can be pushed much more rapidly
as it is less tedious and a much better
chance can be given the workmen. A
large force of men and teams are at
work towards Yellow Springs and MIR.
Charles ]. Ramsburg at Lewistown is

it ought to go faster but it is being push

Baltimore's Exposition In 1914.

BaltimOre's Exposition In 1914.
Baltimore has caught the exposition
fever. 1t is the only one of the big cities
that has never had an international ex-
hibition, and it proposes to celebrate the
climax of the War of 1872 and the birth
of ''The Star-Spangled Banner by an
exposition on its water front in 1914. The
suggestion is made by the Baltimore
American in which ""The Star-Spangled
Banner was published from Keys manu-
script. Gen. Felix Agnus, the editor and
publisher of the american, has enlisted
the interest of the city and State in the
proposition. The City Council OF Balti-
more has taken steps towards organiza-
ton and Governor Warfe!d has promised
his cooperation. Gen. Agnus calls it
"The Banner Exposition of the Banner
Century," The following is from the
announcement of the enterprise:
1.-THE year 1914 was momentcus in
American history. The war that began
in 1912 reached it's climax. If the British
had succeeded in capturing Baltimore
there is no telling how far the struggle
would have gone, or what the result
might have been in America. But our
people, with gallantry that history has
not sufficiently recognized, repulsed the
enemy, and out of that splendid victory
came The Star-Spangled Banner the
lyric that will be sung as long as Ameri-
ca endures.
$50, the Tooth anniversary of the birth
year of The Star-Spangled Banner will
give to US for celebration and display the
century which has contributed more of
advancement than all that went before.
Practically every invention, every step
of industry, every big fact in transpor-
tation and communication will come with
in this 100 years. The year itself will
afford some striking anniversaries; for
instance, it was in 1914 that Fulton made
the beginning of steam in the Navy, and
a score of events of like interest can be
found. The whole matter opens pros
pect practically without limit, and gives
us an anniversary occasion unsurpassed
by any which has been celebrated in pre-
vious expositions.
"By 1914 we shall, in all human proba-
bility, have in operation the canal con-
Meeting the Chesapeake andg Delaware
bays. Our chesapeake commerce, now
the largest of any body of water in Amer
ica, and far exceeding our foreign trade,
will be vastly increased. We shall have
sufficient water for the naval monsters
of the nations. So it seems that the ideal
location will be on the chesapeake bay,
near the mouth Of the Patapsco river.
There will be easy access, not only by
boats from our new docks, but by ex-
press service upon our railways. The
North and the South will meet in happy
rivalry, and the great West will send it's
thousands to see an exposition that will
be as much of an advance on the James
town enterprise as that is upon previous
projects.

What New York and Philadelphia
Journals say regarding the Thaw Trial.
kFron, tho New York World I

From the New York World.]
The disagreement of the Thaw jury
was not caused by the rhetoric OF Mr..
Delmas, or the tergiversations OF Mr..
Jerome, or the experts, or the hypo-
thetical questions. twas simply the
result of the different natures OF the
IL men.
There are worse things than dis
agreement, and what the community
has with essed in the last II weeks
was none of the jury's fault. The
first Thaw trial has been grave scan
dal. The necessity of trying Thaw
again carries with it the necessity OF
never again trying him or anybydy
else in way that makes American
criminal procedure an object OF deri-
sion on two continents.
[From the New York Times.
We are confident that when this
prisoner comes again to the bar a trial
Judge who should reduce the case to
its lowest terms, to it's really very SIM
pie structural proportions, would win
the applause Of the community.
[From the New York Tribune.]
The District Attorney performed a
genuine public service in his hard
headed riddling Of that new and Won
derful defense, dementia Americana.
Without reference to the real question
OF the prisoners sanity at the time OF
OF his deed, there was no excuse for
the introduction in this case of the un-
written law dressed up as dementia
Americana. There are cases in which
the sympathy of right-minded, law
abiding citizens goes out to the man
who takes the law into his own hands,
and the decisive expression OF that
sentiment in verdict of acquittal in
such case, though it may be depre-
Gated on grounds of public policy, can
be understood. But Thaw's career is
notorious. He belongs to what Evel-
yn in her sophisticated teens called

Shipley's Addition.

Such will be called the new addition of
lots laid off at the east end of Thurmont,
and there should not be any difficulty in
disposing of such desirable property.
The plat as laid off in lots contains % in
number, and all of splendid size. A large
avenue has been laid off from E. Main
street to the "Hotel Site'', which will
give the lots facing this avenue the ad-
vantage of having beautiful view of the
mountains. The drainage to all the lots
is exceptionally good.
The Hotel site contains about 233 acres
of land in all, which is considerably more
than needed for hotel purposes, but it
gives the purchaser the advantage OF
being able to lay off quite number OF
desirable lots adjacent thereto. There
should be no trouble in selling this most
desirable piece of land, for its location
is unsurpassed for hotel purposes.
Thurmont needs large Summer Hotel
and we trust that this will be the means
of having not only splendid hotel, but
many summer cottages. The ice once
broken, then there is no trouble after
that. Let all get behind this sale and
make it go. Charles Shipley saw its pos
sibilities, but unfortunately did not live
to see his ideas carried out.

SAVE FORESTS

HHAT things are not always what
they seem to be is proved now in
Il the case of the portable sawmill,
which erstwhile was the sure precursor
of settlement and prosperity. The tri-
counties reforestation committee, in
Guiding San Bernardino, Riverside and
Orange counties, are up in arms
against this and all other peripatetic
timber cutters, on the general score
of despoiling the mountain watersheds
which ought to supply these counties
with abundant flow for the purpose
of irrigation.
There can be no question that the
sources of all streams and areas of
watershed should be protected from
the commercial lumberman, and that
if they had been so protected millions
that have been fruitlessly expended in
overcoming floods would have been
saved and great losses of life and
property avoided. This is a peculiarly
interesting subject to citrus fruit grow
ers. and all who get bread from the
land in this end of the state, and leg
islative action looking to the conserv-
ing of water should have the support
of all who have the prosperity of this
section at heart
The aims of this committee are sem
sible and appeal to all. They would
secure to the federal government the
ownership of all lands within the out
side boundaries of the San Demanding
forest reserve; prevent the further de-
struction of timber and brush within
the reserve; reforest all denuded areas
and reforest, where practicable, all de-
nuded areas not now covered with suf-
fcient timber to conserve water
For all of these things legislative
aid is requisite, and it will be the part
of wisdom for all who live by the land
to work to that end.

is always unsuited to their condition anu
they have to sleep in a shack, without
any of the comforts of home. They soon
become dispirited and return to the near
est city, only to find that all doors are
closed to them. The community does not
want consumptives among them, and they
soon learn that they had better return
home. Sometimes charitable people pro-
vide them with a ticket for the east.
They come home and in few months
are gathered TO their fathers.
Favorable results from climate can
hardly be looked for unless at least slo
per week can be spent for board ana
lodging. The stranger, who has spent
large part of his savings on railroad rare
soon finds himself without work, living
in the poorest rooms, eating the scantiest
and cheapest food. The practice OF ao-
vising the removal to other climates thus
defeats it's own aims and casts upon the
charity of other communities a purden
which they should not and cannot sustain
The cooperation of the medical pro-
fession is invited by the committee IN
preventing persons suffering from tuber-
culosis from being sent to other states
unless: (a) They are physically able to
work and have secured in advance a
definite assurance of the opportunity to
perform work of a proper character at
wages sufficient for their suitable sup
port; or CD unless they have at their
disposal at least $3.50 in addition to rail-
road fare.

TIME committee on the prevention
of tuberculosis of the Charity or
Il gauization society has issued state
ment calling attention to the conse-
quences arising from the practice of send
ing poor consumptives to such states as
Arizona, Colorado and California, says
the Brooklyn Eagle. 1t is asserted that
extensive experience has taught that
difficult as it may be for a poor man
to recover from tuberculosis in New
York city he is better off there among
his friends and relatives, where there
are more adequate hospital and dispen-
sary facilities, than he is far from home,
where he is thrown entirely upon his own
resources and where the great number
of consumptives willing to work at the
lowest wages make the finding of emf
ployment, especially of suitable employ
ment almost impossible.
Consumptives who go from the east,
even If they have friends in Denver or
any of the other towns or cities of Colo
RADIO find it extremely difficult to get
employment. They are told before they
leave the east that they should obtain
outdoor employment and sometimes they
make an effort to get work among the
farmers on the ranches, if only for their
board. This is not what they need, how
ever. Usually they know nothing of
farming or of taking care of stock of
any kind. If they are employed the food
