In the news columns of today's

Tn the news columns of today's
Globe-Gazette appears the announce
ment of the candidacy of Hon. e. A.
Johnson of Ward county for governor
of North Dakota. The Globe Gazette
knows Mr.. Johnson to be man OF
ability and integrity and we believe
his announcement comes at an oppor-
tune time. There are two other can
didates in the field. Senator Sharpe
of LaMoure county and T. 7. TWitcn-
ell of Cass, the first representing the
stalwart faction of the republican
party and the latter the insurgent
candidate put forward at the Marshall
Twitchell convention in Grand Forks.
Neither OF these candidates could ex-
meet to get the united party vote II
and without united party
vote neither could expect election. Mr.
Johnson is a man upon whom the
party could easily combine and whom
all voters could enthusiastically sup
mort with Alex. Mckenzie elimlnat-
Cd in selecting national committee
men, the republicans of the state can
easily get together and nominate a
ticket that will win.-Globe-Gazette'

Sudden Death.

About 5:l5 Wednesday afternoon, 10Th
inst, Mr.. John Trescher, of Frost
avenue, on his way home from down
town, fell on the pavement i'll front of
DR.. G.. l.. Liuinger's residence. The
doctor and a few friends gathered and
quickly carried him into the residence,
where, within five minutes, he died.
In seeming good health and spirits,
his sudden death was great shock to
his household and friends
Mr.. TresCher was born near the city
of Cassel, in Dorheim, Germany, n
wears ago. He came to America when
20 years of age, and secured employ
ment at Cumberland. y few years later
he married Elizabeth Schroeder. For a
number of years they resided on a farm
near Cumberland, but the past 10 years
he has lived a retired life IN this place.
Mrs. Trescher died April 4, 1905, and
the eldest daughter, Mrs Adam Schade,
of Irwin, died , Years ago. The follow
ing children, with ID grand children,
survive: Charles F., of Cumberland :;
John H., of Jeanette, Pa; Mrs. Wesley
Porter, of Cumberland Mrs. Jacob
Hater and Miss Lizzie, at home, this
place; also one sister Mrs. Charles
Weinberg, of DuQuoin, Ill.
In December, 1904, Mr.. and Mrs.
Trescher celebrated the 5Oth anniversary
eff their marriage at their home here, al
which function all their children and
grand children We're present.
Mr.. Trescher was member of Salem
Reformed church. and in and out of that
body he was universally regarded and
esteemed as an upright citizen. Straight
forward and unobtrusive, he obeyed his
convictions of what was right, and when
death came he was fully ready to go.
To his children especially he leaves the
priceless memory of an exemplary life.
After the usual brief service at the
house at , o'clock this Saturday after
neon. the cortfyc will proceed to Salem
Reformed Church, where, at 2i2 O'Clock

COUNTY.
A Safe Type of Man.

Hon. Thomas G.. Hayes, eX-Mayor of
Baltimore, speaking of the appointment
of G. w. Sans to city judgeship,
says
He was my appointee ton Appeal Tax
Court and | knew that his whole training
was such that neither money, nor politics,
nor influence Of any sort could induce him
to do a dishonest thing.
If the State had body of three such
men to review, before issue, franchises
asked for by corporations of counties
and towns, there would be security
against loss by the people of privileges,
now capitalized the very moment they
are given away.
OF these values the average town
council is utterly ignorant, and in nine
of ten cases hearing only one side-that
sparkling with Establishments, it easily
yields what it has 10 right to give away.
A State court of review, however,
would look into the matter with trained
vision and protect the people from the
soft liberality of their too easy trustees.

An Unpleasant Affair.

Several weeks ago Frank Spates,
Bailitf, received IA letter from an Albany
On. " woman inquiring for one DR.. j.
}. Kenney, giving as reason that her
fugitive husband was so named.
Frank replied, stating the fact that
DR.. j. j. Kenney, dentist, lived here
and, with his wife, boarded at the Hotel
Gladstone.
The trouble continued until DR..
Kenney proceeded to Albany and con-
fIonted the Mrs. j. j. Kenney, of that
city. who at once declared that he was
not the j. j. Kenney she was seeking.
Later she wrote the following note tC
Mr.. Spates under postmark of April II
Mr.. SrArEs-Deor Sir:
| hasten to write you to say that the Dr.
J. J, kenney, of Frostburg, is not the one
am looking for, as he came to see me to-day
regret causing this trouble for him. and
am willing to reCtify it in any manner can
Thanking you for your trouble, am very
truly Mrs. J. ]. kENNEY,
Albany, y. y.
Frostburg's DR.. j. J. Kenney is, there.
fore, completely vindicated, just as any.
one who looks into his open, honest
genial face, would conclude.
He has been here sometime practis.
ing his profession with DR.. |. l.. Ritter,
and all who have come in contact with
him have none but good words for him.
First a printer, now dentist-in both
professions his prime duty to please the
public, it is difficult to conceive how
anyone with his great intelligence could
go beyond pleasing just one in the
marital relation.
He is all right.
Some fault has been undeservedly found
with Bailitf Spates in this connection
but just what else he should have done
than he did, the JOURNAL cannot see
Receiving the inquiries of woman
whose letters show she was deeply il
earnest in finding her fugitive husband
and Furnishing him if he had committed
bigamy, it was not Spates' duty as ar
official conservator of good morals tC
ignore them. Hence, what he did any
officer is compelled 10 do in order that al
the interests, including those of the law
may be subserved.
Hence, Spates is all right, too.

Not a valid Excuse for a Statesman.

As far as the differential is concerned l
have never had any connection with the
matter either personally, politically or pro
fessionally. and Mr.. Richmond is thoroughly
aware of this fact have never been called
upon by the b. and o. r. Co. to appear as
its counsel before the Interstate Commerce
Commission or elsewhere in connection with
this differential question.-Hon. Geo'ye l.
Pearre.
Is that a sufficient excuse:
Should any citizen especially one who
holds the position of servant OF the
people, occupy the attitude toward them
of one who has not and "never had any
connection" with any oppression OF the
people "personally?"
Or "politically?'
Or professionally ?"
If as one of the people, especially one
of their representatives, he had no call to
protest against an oppressive imposition
upon himself and them, whose duty is 1t
to rise and become an emancipation:
In short, whose particular, special
duty was it to play the part of Patrick
Henry against the "dltferentlal' tax
levied upon the operators and miners OF
Georges Creek coal:
The JOURNALS answer is-if it is not
the duty of those chosen to represent
the people, no matter where, or i'll what
specific capacity, to appear for them ana
in their interests when and Whrr"r"r
they can, it is nobody's duty, and when
this dict,,m is universally acknowledged
the people are not only ripe but rotten
for subsection to imperial rule.
In this connection Col. Pearre does
not stand alone. Other congressman,
governors and States attorneys, of both
parties, have taken and non acted upon
the same view Achieving and entering
office, they play the hermit. They see
and hear of great wrongs, but each must
play blind and pose deaf until 1t is
drought to my attention"
The people are, therefore, left to take
care of themselves while the custOdians
of their rights, reclining or declining,
wait to be called to duty. 1t the call
conflicts with relation between lawyer
and CLIENT the peoples trustee must
abandon his trust and stay with his
