Williamson Wins Fresh Law 0ratofi-
 cal Contest.
 Lamar Williamson won the fresh law oratorical contest last evening, the subject of his ora tion being "The Negro Prob lem, while H F. Bennett, whose oration was The Awak- ening of the American Con- science" was chosen alternate.
 Mir Williamson, who is a southerner. spoke with great feeling.and displayed a thorough owledge of his subject. In discussing the solution of this problem he laid particular stress upon education and eulogized Booker T. Washington for the good work he has done for his race Business education is es- sential. he said, but more than that, religious instruction must be given or the question will never be solved '-Michi9an { Ann Arbor) Daily.
 Lamar's many Moneicello friends will read the above with much pleasure.

\ Letter Fun Of Timely Comment
and Pertinent Suggestion.
FROsTBURG, Md, Oct

FROsTBURG, MD October l. 1907.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
The appearance in last week s JOURN-
AL of three articles on school affairs de-
serves more than passing notice, and
suggests the queries-"Do newspapers
give school matters sufficient attention :?
Do we citizens bother ourselves seriously
about them - Under Il government
that can almost be said to have assumed
the duty, If not prerogatiVe, of Popular
Education, shouldn't we suppose that
the people would be everlastingly con-
corning themselves about matter so
vital? Instead, do we really do much
more than 'foOt the bill' and leave the
rest to the politicians?
The merest casual observer can hardly
keep from feeling that he discerns room
for improvement i'll school affairs; that
if we were but to scratch the surface we
fear that we would find tremendous OPP
portunities for betterment.
Just see what one issue of the JOURNAL
suggests:
There is TAX Payers" letter, with its
two themes of Discrimination" and
''highcr salaries" However harsh and
severe one may think his caption. one
must applaud his interest and zeal.
Those of us who took the pains to in
quire have learned that a mistake was
made III the first instance; but to most
others the mistake, not having been cor
rected, still remains discrimination, "
and the unhappy tendency OF continuing
default i'll such cases is to undermine the
confidence of both teachers and the COM
munity in the impartiality and fairness
of the School Board, and recurring mis-
takes of a similar nature are apt to COM
pei some of us to doubt the efficiency of
those III control.
That "TaX-Payer's" comment upon
teachers salaries is worthy of consider
alton, and that salaries are provokingly

COUNTY.
What Will They DO ?

The Homecoming Press makes a per-
tinent comment upon a candidacy, as
follows:
Candidate H. f. Cook, of Frostburg, run
ming on the Prohibition ticket for House of
Delegates, has a letter of acceptance which
sets forth several ideas besides the central
prohibition proposition. Evidently Mr..
Cook is not candidate of purely perfume
tory Callbre; he really has an opinion that
men who want to 90 to the Legislature ought
to have a reason for wanting to 90, and q
motive impellng little higher than either
the salary attached or even the honor con
ferred that the candidate ought to stand for
something and if elected go down to An
napolis to do something positive not merely
to vote as the party leaders may find it in
their itching palms to dictate.
1t is a pity that Mr. Cook hasn't a follow
ing among the candidates of the larger
parties, who are more likely to be elected
He has grasped, we think, the essence of
Statecratt.
As an instance of Mr.. Cooks trend to-
wards the correction of wrong, he cites
one of his objects as the amendment of
all laws which do not compel the coun-
ty authorities to employ out-of -Cumber-
land newspapers to publish such adver-
Using as is especially and even generally
applicable to their respective locations.
The registration and election advertis-
ing is all confined to Cumberland, as
though Cumberland people only were
entitled to such notice.
This Is utterly wrong from any stand
point of view, and i'll an age when the
"technicality" is so powerful an arbiter
between legal gesture and lawful per
Torrance, it is to be doubted whether a
majority of county voters are given the
specifically impartial notice requisite to
what are sometimes called "a full regis
tration" and "geHerdi election"
Other Legislative nominees might fol-
low Mr.. Cooks example and enumerate
the particular good they hope to achieve
in going to the House of Delegates.
A number of people in Frostburg, for
instance, want some modification of the
Sunday laws, and number wish them
to remain as they are.
But, hush two United States
Senators are to be elected, and as they
will deal with matters far, far away
why it is far, far more important that
they should be honored than that we
should be served"

Difference of View.

DR.. G.. w. Ward, principal of the
Baltimore State Normal School, says his
institution "has pupils from the %
counties, with that number of superin-
tendents whose ideas of instruction are
somewhat different"
Which would seem to mean that the
superintendent everywhere views the
Normal School as his competitor in the
certitication of teachers.
Again he says 1.-THE most difficult
problem is to equip graduates so that
they can feel at home as well as teach in
county schools" This achieved, IA
stumbling block will be removed from
the way of so many teachers who are
obliged to learn to teach at the expense
Of the pupils.
Now, it is evident that what the doc
tor regards as "a difficult problem" i'll a
State Normal School, is reckoned by
superintendent as dead easy"

The Result.

In accordance with the opinion and
order of judges Boyd and Keedy, county

vassed the vote and found the ticket
nominated as heretofore printed.
In the case of the reported tie" be
tween James Garfield and James f.
Drum for sheriff the count of dis
puted ballots developed 1923 for Cor
field, 1926 for Drum, nominating the
former by majority of votes.

wing, the former carving 20 districts

pressed by both factions.
