Of state I'm the name Of tho sovereign to the
Lord Mayor with the request that he make It

They have heard that the government cannot

the Port Of London he could arbitrarily put

King Edward l. and dated 1856 no broker can

This law has been confirmed by numerous sub
sequent statutes, the latest Of them having been
enacted in June. 1917 Should It please the

the Lord Mayor OF London is ex-offlcio entitled
to a seat at the sovereign's Privy Council. but
II is an indIsputable fact that he has the right
to the prefix Of right honorable" enjoyed by the
members of that august body and that his sig

thirty huge porpoises had been disporting them

A game at PALMYRA, Pa, between the
team of that place, Conrad +. Schneider,
manager with the All Collegiates, of
Harrisburg, Pa, last Saturday, was won
by the former after a hot contest of 10
innings, the score standing to 0. The
winning team finally scored the only
run with two out in the last half of that
inning.
That there will be some good base ball
games here this season seemsa certainty.
The grounds are i'll good shape and
practice was begun Wednesday evening
Take it from "Keno''-'every ball
player who will get out to practice Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday evenings,
and show IA degree of excellence will be
given chance on the team"
The samples for uniforms have arrived
and the boys will be measured Friday
evening, May -, so as to have the
clothes here by Decoration day, May 80.
The first game will be played Satur-
day, May 23d-Allegany Us. Frostburg
Reidler and DeNeen will do the battery
work for Frostburg, Williams and
Downton for Allegany. The personnel
of the town club will be given in detail
next week.
Manager Spates is hustling to have his
team in tirst-class condition for Decora-
ton day, as manager, captain, and third
baseman Stakem, of Homecoming, has
had his club doing stunts for that occas-
ion every day during the past two
weeks. Hence, it will be Homecoming
Us. Frostburg that day and the game
will be good one.
Meanwhile, Capt Gunnett hopes to
have all the kinks eliminated from the
boys and their batting eyes wide-opened
by that time. So, boys, get to the Park
and prepare for real good old-time
contest.
Frostburg has the real thing in base
ball talent and every other basic reason
for the best team on Georges Creek.
Which is why the people should get
together and give the boys encourage
ment and patronage.
One word to the ladies, bless their
hearts-the management extends an in
vitation to all of them, individually and
collectively, and hopes they will grace
the opening game with their presence
in great numbers. Good order will be
maintained by efficient as well as polite
custodians of the law. The boys are
out to make the great national game
go in the very best town on this or any
other planet.

A PerpIexing Alternative.
u. b. Err. Editor,

In Prince Georges county Tuesday
prohibition of the liquor traffic was de-
feated by big majority, a result
achieved by "the almost solid voting
strength of the negroes"
1t is further stated that the liquor
people won so largely by promising to
return the favor in a combined effort to
defeat the DISTINGUISHING amendment
which will be voted on i'll the fall Of
1909"
Which raises the question what will
the temperance voter of Allegany-re-
publican, democrat or prohibitlonlst,
who believes Acknowledgement as well
as the liquor traffic is a crime-what
will he do at next years election?
Will he vote against disfranchisement
and save the liquor traffick?
Or for distranchisepent and thus
secure prohibition?
In briefer terms, which "crime" will
he vote for?
For nothing is surer than this-that
fusion between pro-liquor and anti-dis
reimbursement in Maryland will wipe out
prohibition for years and years to come.
And if fusion be necessary TO mutual
success, the saloon man and the darky
will fuse.

The Summer Normal School, proposed
by the Business Mems Association,
should be encouraged and promoted by
all, especially by the County School
Board and the teachers themselves.
No matter how old or how long the
teachers experience, there is still some
thing to learn.
A few weeks of expert tuition will add
immense practical value to the small
time cost of a uperintendent' scertificate.
There is no time to lose.
Set the enterprise going.

COUNTY,.
City VS.. County.

The county election supervisors have
provided, dccortiiHg 10 lar. for conduct
ing the municipal election of Cumber-
land at cOnntY expense.
By and by they will issue announce
ments, dccoriing to TAR, to the peOpIe Of
Camberiand Of county registration and
election.
The JOURNALS recollection is-the
first named miscarriage of justice, or
equity, or square dealing, or all three,
was enacted when Cumberland man
was III the State Senate-a man, too,
who has since enjoyed support ont IN
the county far more united and torceful
than that accorded him at home.
Which shows how the country people
can be buucoed by d-i-i-e-q-i-u-n-c-e to
party!
But Is it not a wonder that the county
never sends a man of its own to the
Legislature who has sense enough to
correct wrong so unjust to the county
and so compromising of the self-respect
of the city?
The city's monopoly of the election
advertising isn't so gross, but far as it
goes it is a notice to out-of-city localities
that the people have no business sus-
tanning papers outside of Cumberland
A few days ago a corners tone of a new
co""ty high school building was laid in
Cumbl rland, but in all the fanfaronade
over it the county was PARKWAY in the
background. Everything went as
though it We're the city building city
institution for city ornament and city
education.
But one can get over tins sort of ex-
ploitation, for the city has to pay its
part under ii sys.em which is county
wide.
When, however, Homecoming, West
ernport. Barton and Fro5tburg pay their
own municipal election expenses, and
then have to chip in to pay Cumber-
lands, the limit Of city gall seems to be
reached.
