The Homecoming star prophesieS that
the people of Homecoming some day will
be free.
Some folks i'll Cumberland couldn't
understand why the people of Frostburg
turned down the new charter, and now
other people down there are guessing at
the causes of Cumberland's distaste for
Potomac water through a new pump.
One report has it that the sum of at
least $1,000 was spent election day in
the first ward of Cumberland. For
what? Or is the report not serious
enough for grand-j jury inquest? In
other words, has man who abdicates
by sale his sovereignty, right to con
tinue selling it?

The Potomac River Basin.

Hardly IA river basin III the country is
more important from the point of view
of utilization of water resources than the
Potomac.
The water-pOwer developed in this
area drives the wheels of many mills,
and the waters of the streams are used
III the processes of diverse industries
The beauty of the streams and the
supply of fish have made large portion
OF the basin IL recreation ground for
thousands of people while the Potomac
itself furnishes drinking water for the
National Capital.
In order to obtain definite Information
as to the character of the water supply
an extensive investigation was under
taken Jointly by the Geological Survey,
the Bureau of Forestry, and the Bureau
of Fisheries
The result of the work is d report just
published by the Geological Survey as
Water Supply and Irrigation Paper
No. 1872, y copies of which may be OBJ
tanned upon application to the Director,
United States Geological Survey, Wash
ingtOn, d. G..
The scope of the paper is best shown
by enumerating the principal features
OF the investigation, which are as fol-
lows:
l, A study of the geographic history of
the basin -
,. The determination of the amount of
water flowing IN the principal streams-a
compilation of data relating 20 the quantity
of water, and study of the distribution of
the rainfall -
3, complete reconnaissance of the drain
age area " 18th respect to sources of pollution /;
study of the prevalence of typhoid fever
in the District of Columbia, and elsewhere,
and an investigation of the quality of the
surface water rs shown by field assays and
sanitary and mineral analyses of water taken
at many points =
1, study by the Bureau of Forestry of
the effect of the soils and forest cover on the
turbidty of the water and flow of the
streams and the preparation of a map show
ing the forest conditions, and
5, A study by the Bureau of Fisheries of
the effect of industrial wastes on fishes
Many citizens of the Potomac Basin
have shown IA lively interest in this re-
port and have given valuable aid to its
preparation, and the authors of the
paper have made grateful acknowledge
ment for such services.

Governor Wariield has been drawn so near

vent his re- election by a larger majority

The sum of $4,000 appropriated by
the county commissioners for the build
ing of new high school in Cumberland
seems to be only starter.
The ground cost $1,000, several pre-
eminent citizens having made good
sale.
The high school, therefore, starts on
ground of high cost; will doubtless be
built at similarly high rates, aud if
loftily conducted, the tuition dispensed
will be higher for altitudinous people
than the law provides.
This is another instance of cultivation
at the summit-of neglect of the primary
object of popular education, which is
primary tuition, leaving the cost of trim
mings to the parents themselves
Hence, if as much concern were felt
and as much attention given by the
poor to the promotion of the laws pri-
mary object-primary education, as the
rich give to high-school education at
popular expense, all would share alike
i'll the harvest contemplated for all.

We have a hog-pen on Broadway now,
occupied by nice pair of pigs.
Later inquiry develops the fact that
this Improvement, established under the
unsigned ordinance, is nearer Water
street than Broadway, a location which
the Mayor and Council should not
tolerate.
That pen should be i'll the front yard,
where the people can see, smell and
breathe the subtle but distinct aroma
which contributes so much vitality and
pungency to dlphtheritic robustitude
The Christian might as we'll "hide his
light under IA bushel' as for a citizen to
secrete his hog pen i'll the back yard.
