Laffan Denounces Mr..

NEW YORK. Dec. 7-Replying to

Sun. issued the following statement:
THE editor of the Sun presents his
compliments TO Mr.. Roosevelt and

his challenge, the editor OF the SUI

SAYS PEACE IN THE
BALKANS IS ASSURED

LONDON. Dec. THE following
statement has been wired from Vienna
by the correspondent Of the Standard.
He says he il authorized to give 1t
out:
"As all the powers are In every
way trying to maintain peace. the sue
cess OF this activity Is undoubtable.
especially as II Is impossible to sup
pose that any OF the great powers
would incur the odium OF provoking
a European war on account OF the
Bosnian question.
There are no insuperatle difficult
ties In the way OF a solution OF the
pending international questions. All
the great powers agree In principle
10 the annexation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, and 1t only requires the
sanction OF a European conference.
Austria, too. wishes such conference
TO be held, and II is certain. therefore.
that a formula satisfying all the pow
ers and making possible the holding Of
conference will be found"

Article Not Inspired
BY Personal Motive

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. Editor
Smith. OF the Indianapolis News. while
passing through Cleveland en- route 10
New York. gave out the following
statement:
The presidents comments on the
Panama editorial are based on state
ments made by prominent New
York paper, not the New York Sun,
which the Indianapolis News printed
at the same time, with many other
rapers, giving full credit TO the source
from which they obtained It.
"In making the editorial comment
to which the president takes exception
the editor Of the News credited Its
information to the New York paper
making the charge and distinctly dis
claimed any responsibility for its &C
curacy. This editorial was published
in the ordinary course of the daily
routine of the editorial department at
a time when I was absent from In
dianapolis and therefore could not
have been inspired by any personal
motive.
During the campaign information
reached me that Mr.. Foulke had IN
his possession a letter OF the nature
OF the one now made public. and
was further informed that II was left
by the president to Mr.. Foulke's judg.
ment whether the matter should be
used in the campaign. When this In
formation reached me | at once tele-
phoned Mr.. Foulke extending to him
the use of the columns OF the News
for this purpose. but he did not see fit
to avail himself Of the opportunity
during the campaign. So much for tho
personal criticism Of me by the presi
dent.
The News will deal editorially with
the presidents explanation In due
time"

AUTOMOBILE OWNERS
DODGE ASSESSORS

That many persons take out automo
bile licenses through their drivers or
ether persons and thus baffle the as
SCISSORS Is the plalnt OF the latter. The
fact that the men whose duty II Is 70
put the autos on the city rolls have
often been unable TO trace the ma
chimes through the records In police
headquarters, may lead TO further leg
islation ia regard TO auto licenses.
IL think that we should ask for a
change in the license law so that 40
one can take out an automobile license
unless he sweaTs that he Is the owner
OF the machine and gives his correct
address," says Assessor Nagel. Then
they could not dodge taxation. As IL
is now. We have TO watch for auto run
ways and barns when we are going
over the city and often we find a
machine which is not licensed under
the owners name a. all"

Hagerstown. Queen City Of the Val
leys." as its devoted citizens love to term
it might better be called the "city Of
realized opportunities" for nowhere
among the busy, bustling, manufacturing
towns OF America have the inhabitants
quite such a surrounding country from
which TO draw new materials for conver-
sion into the necessities and luxuries Of
life, with equal transportation advan-
tages at their doors.
To begin with. Hagerstown started
right. Old Jonathan Hager. a Pennsyl-
vania German. of that thorough-going,
hard-worl1ing. honest. and strenuously
acquisitive stock. founded the city which
bears his name about The time that the
eighteenth century was passing into his
tory, Jonathan Hager was Of the sort
that builds cities: not the kind that draws
plans OF an imaginary metropolis on an
imaginary railway line and sells ordinary
pasture land nj Broadway prices 10 the
unsuspecting speculative investor"
Jonathan Hager was the sort OF a city
builder who wisely picks out a town site
where a town ought 10 be and then pro
ceeds 10 make a real brick and mortar
town. which grows and expands and
stretches out until a real city. with real
people and real Industries and real insti-
tutions. fills the space and likewise the
expectations Of the founder.
Jonathan Hager lies buried in the
church yard I'm the city ne founded. He
met an accidental death while engaged
among his workmen In the building of
the church. A neat monument marks his
resting place. but HE real monument Is
Hagerstown. a city Of 10000 busy people,
with a ratio OF growth as constant as
rule OF Euclid which doubles her pQpu-
latioa IN each generation.
To the artistic as well as 10 the prac-
teal eye. the situation Of Hagerstown is
remarkably attractive The Cumberland
valleys southern extremity is at Hagers-
town. The northern extremity Of the
Shenandoah Valley. which, on the north
side Of the Potomac Is called Middleton

BANKS IN MARYLAND CITY
SOUND AS MARBLE HILLS

The stability Of the banks Of Hagers-
town is proverbial throughout Maryland.
Seven financial institutions provide the
city's money supply and attend TO the
adjustment Of its credits OF these in
sdtutions the oldest is Hagerstown Bank,
established in 1896, which occupies a
beautiful colonial building on Washing
ton street, in the business center of the
town The bank celebrated its centen-
NAL in 1906 and has n proud record.
The other Institutions are the First and
Second National Banks. Peoples National
Bank. Maryland Surety and Trust Com
pany. Mechanics Loan and Savings In
stituton. and the City Savings Bank.
in the hundred and more years Of Ha-
gerstown financial history, no bank has
ever closed its doors except on Sundays
and holidays. HagerstOwn's banks have
weathered every financial crisis and at
no time in the history of the city have
the banks either individually or through
association resorted 10 the use Of script,
but their depOsltors have received cash
for every check presented since the fOUn-
dalton OF the town
As a residential city. Hagerstown takes
high rank. There are numerous beauti-
ful homes in the districts north Of PO-
tomac street, Washington street, and
Prospect street Many of these houses
stand within extensive grounds, with
broad lawns. In some instances 200 feet in
depth from the street. The homes OF the
poor are. generally speaking. good sized
houses. Even the poorest residents seem
TO take pride In the appearance of their
localities.
The sanitation Of Hagerstown is ex-
cellent. The city occupies the actual alti-
tude of zoo feet above tidewater and Ow-
ing TO the rolling character of the land
upon which IT is built, is well drained
through an underground sewerage sys-
TEN. The city water Is piped from
mountain springs. and is declared TO be
absolutely pure and free from any dele
terious organic matter. The proof of the
water Is in the drinking and Hagers-
town in years gone by. when the water
supply came from the Immediate locality
used 10 suffer from epidemics OF typhoid
and the like. Since the Introduction of
the present water system, typhoid is un-
known. Every case in the past five
years has been traceable to causes miles
distant from Hagerstown. and TO con-
tagions elsewhere than here.

MUST HAVE STEEL RAILS.
Expected that Railroads VIII Soon
Enter Market with Big Orders.

There is no getting around the fact
that the railroads viii have to enter the
market as purchasers Of steel on O large
scale next year For almost twelve
months they have been retrenching on
rail as well as other steel purchases. The
roads cannot keep out Of the market for
ever. and IL history repeats itself there
will he good buying of steel rails next
year.
Heretofore the railroads have not re-
mained out Of the market for a strentch
OF more than eighteen months When
steel rail buying does set in It is expect
ed 10 reach large proportions. There are
100000 tons Of steel rails in use in the
United States to-day, and renewals of
the amoJnt In question every twelve
years would be sufficient to absorb the
present maximum production of the mills
manufacturing standard sections.
The season for rail buying is about
over. but there are many manufacturers
who believe that the railroads, in order
to assure prompt deliveries. will enter the
market for rails. for delivery in 1909. In
the last quarter Of this year.

of the State can be laid down readily

Added 20 the foregoing, there has been
built up within the past few years, with

trolley lines. which fairly gridiron Wash

system also girdles the city. so that the
traction advantages of HagerstOwn are
unsurpassed in this part OF the country.
