Yesterday Afternoon and Heroic
Efforts Failed to Stay the Fury Of
the Flames.

complish.
The entire saw mill plant was
burned, all the dry kilns and lumber
sheds were total loss. The flames
spread to the commssary and that,

Pipe Line Planned.

That pipe line, for conveying
oil or natural gas, is to be con-
structed across the lower section
of Frederick county, is indicated
by the fact that owners of farms
in the neighbOrhood of Adams
town have lately been solicited
to grant right of way for pipe
line through their land. Fifty
cents rod is offered for the right
of way, and some land owners
have signed to give the right OF
way for that price. while others
are still holding off and consid
ering the proposition. The con.
tracts are made in the name OF
W. Raymond Gross, but are trans
ferrable, aud it has been rumored
that the Standard Oil Com
pany is back of he deal.
Under the terms of the con
tract. either gas or |; il could b,

dents of Adamstown are inter

Democracy VS.. Plutocracy.

Since practically all of the cor

and ROoseveltism bear heavily
upon industry, dig deep into tho
pockets of labor and oppress en-
terprise that enjoys no favoring
laws. what better issue could the
Democrats raise this year than
the cost of livings
Cause and effect in govern
mental affairs never were more
closely associated than they are
in the conditions now every
where visible in America. At
Washington We have Congresses
that spend billion = year; .
jingo craze for war and imperial
ism; privilege and protection for
selected classes; the sale of lsgis.
lation to the interests that cOn-
tribute privately to campaign
funds, and an almost complete
failure to give effect to laws pro-
hibiting monopoly, discrimina-
ti0n and forestalling.
Waste and favoritism at Wash
ington are attended by burden
some taxation, high prices. de.
preston in industry, and idleness
and hardship among the millions
who have no share in the dis
eliminating plutOcratic prosper
ity, of which we hear 80 much.
Profligacy and privilege for the
few go Win hand now as
always with poverty and suffer
ing for the many.
Followed to their ultimate ef.
fects the notorious wrongs Of
Rooseveltism, although varying
widely in character, will be found
resting IN the backs of enter
prise and labor, at last, sapping
their energies and filching their
earnings. Practically every wise
remedy proposed, such as econ.
omy, peace. tariff reform, gradu-
ated income and Inheritance
taxes, publicity Of campaign ex-
penditures and the destruction
of privilege, monopoly and i'm
perialism, would lead unerringly
to one end-cheaper living and
true prosperity
That would bc q campaign
issue worth while. 1t would ap-
peal to every honest man. 1t
wonld be comprehended by every
intelligence. 1t would make for
Democracy and justice 1t would
be clear, logical and convincing.
1t would give life and point to .
campaign that sorely needs in
vigorating thought and purpose.
Finally, it would sweep away
false issues and false remedies
that serve only to bewilder and
vex the people.
Living is high, taxes are high
and hardship prevails because
our government is protligate. be-
cause government is in partner
ship with plutocracy and privilege
ana because Republicanism, thor
oughly committed to these
things, will not or cannot apply
