AS we understand Mr.. Roosevelt's
defense of the Hartman campaign
contribution.
1. 1t was entirely proper for Mr..
Roosevelt to solicit this money, be-
cause he intended to bunco Hartman
and did bunco him. ?.
2. Secrecy was necessary because
Mr.. Roosevelts motives might have
been misconstrued by low-minded
persons who would see in the transac-
ton a sordid attempt on the part of
Hartman to control the Presidency,
through the use of tainted money.
3. Publicity of such contribution
before election might have thwarted
the high moral purpose of Mr., Roose-
welt in separating Hartman from his
money without giving him anything
in return.
a. Other Presidential candidates
should never be permitted to engage
in similar negotiations, because even
were they sufficiently patriotic to re-
pudiate the moral obligation they
would not be sufficiently practical to
deceive a man like Hartman.
5. The fact that 1t was Theodore
Roosevelt who did this is complete
answer to all hostile criticism.
Having defended the contribution
perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt will now ex-
plain just how the money was used
as Hartman said, to turn 10000 votes
In the election.

A ROAD SUGGESTION.
Said to Possess Many Advantages Over
Other Proposed Routes.

The Emmittsburg Chronicle OF last
week has the following
Before the days of railroads in this
section the town of Emmittsburg was
on the main line from Baltimore to
Hagerstown and the West. Hundreds
Of wagons piled from Baltimore to
Westminster thence to Taneytown,
then to Emmittsburg, Hagerstown and
on acrass the mountains. So import
ant was this route that the State es-
tablished a sixty-foot way as far as
Emmittsburg which is still kept up by
the counties If the State found it wise
then to secure road for traffic through
this section when the counties were
but thinly settled, and this the natural
route to follow to Western Maryland,
at this time when the subject of good
roads is receiving particular attention
from the State, the Commissioners
hould give this particular route proper
and fair consideration. 1t is beyond
question the shortest road and the
section through which it passes is the
most populous and in addition to this
it has the easiest grades and can be
built for less money than many others
the commissioners have been consider
lug. IL Will SOIN VIC holO poppy IAiehii
any other in Western Maryland of
equal length 1t would open Westmin-
ster and Taneytown and other places in
Carroll county, Emmittsburg and the
large and important institutions near
there in Frederick county, connecting
with both the Frederick and Waynes-
boro pike at the latter place and pass
within less than ten miles of the
boffJoEaNH ond fbic onfiro
distance on an old State road. From
Emmittsburg it would take in the
mountains, through gap, and pass
near Sabillasville where the State is
now investing large sums of money in
the State Sanitarium, and then on over
the mountains through the thickly set
tied section of summer cottages and
hotels at Blue Ridge Summit and Pen
Mar in Washington county, and taking
in the important town OF Smithburg
and the fruit belt OF that section and
enter Hagerstown, the largest and
chief distributing depot in the Cumber-
land Valley. At Hagerstown 1t would
connect with the pixies running out to
Keedysville, Williamsport and other
places of Importance that centre there.
No portion of this route is not we'll set
tied and no road in Western Maryland
can be built to serve as many people
for the distance constructed, or can be
built for less money. % $ - =.
1t begins at Baltimore and runs
through Baltimore county to Carroll

county to Washington county, and then

The Turning Tide.

The Philadelphia Press, Republican,
in a recent editorial, said: THE
present Presidential campaign began
with sweeping tide of enthusiasm
in the Republican party. The tide
still sets toward Republican success,
but Indiana is more doubtful than was
anticipated, the reduced majority in
Maine has it's effect, the Democratic
party in New York State is closing
up. The outlook plainly calls for re-
newed effort and hard work to place
the result beyond doubt. The next
fortnight is certain to see a growing
conviction that the Republican party
has before it a serious contest and
no foregone conclusion

death. The money Mr.. Hare claims
is now deposited in a bank.

Passed the one we love so dear;

And cover his grave with flowers.

And sorrow shades our brow.

We have no Jacob now.
