With Few Exceptions Republican Pa
pers Rally to Cake.

In spite of the desperate efforts of
the old machine and representatives
of ceratain big "trusts" to accomplish
his defeat, the nomination of II. M.
Cake, champion of Statement No. l.,
for United States Senator on April
18th, is generally conceded throughout
the state. It is predicted in Portland
that he will carry Multnomah county
by between 5000 and 5000. With few
exceptions, the newspapers of the
state have rallied Loyalty to Mr.. Cakes
support. In urgSng his nomination,
the Polk Observer saws:
"Hon. H. M. Cake is mai Q mag

tically assured by afousing majority.
Entl aaiastic crowds have fiocked to
hear him in bis trip through, Southern
Oregon and his tour of Eastern Oregon,
where he has always been strong with
the voters, promises to be in the nature
of triumphal march. Mr.. Cake is
making clean. dignitied campaign,
free from personality or abuse and is
earnestly advocating the principles he
believes to be right. He is an able,
effective speaker who makes no at

the people into his confidence and has
quiet heaIt-to- heart talk with them
on the important issues now before the
people of the state aud nation. the
most effective oratory by the way,
that can be INDUCED in by any public
speaker in this practical age. He
lodges no issues, straddles no ques-
tions, but frankly discusses every sui

iu any mind as to its sincerity. In
MIR. Cake the people feel they have a
man whom they can trust; one who
would represent them honoratly and
tearlessly in the Nations highest law

WESTON WAS EASY
Went Down Before Athena BY Score
of % to 8-Milt0n Comes for
Game Sunday Afternoon.

Iu the first inning of the game Sun
day, Mr.. Dean Dudley, who stood on
the bill and dished 'em over for
Athena, threw the ball just twelve
times. His delivery was perfect and
the seven first Ealls thrown by him re-
tired the first two batteries up. It took
five thrown balls to relegate the third
batter.
Then for five innings thereafter
there was some good ball playing, and
after that it was of an indifferent art
iole. Weston went up in the fifth and
never alighted until time to gather
the bats and trudge back to town,
swamped to the tune of 23 to 8.
Athena had one bad inning. In the
sixth Weston piled up six runs, which
with the two she accumulated in 4th
and 9Th, was all the chalk work she
was entitled to. After the sixth,
Athena settled down, and there was
absolutely nothing to it but monoto-
ness run getting. The score:

BAL |M0RE & OHIO R.R.
PLANS ANOTHER BRANCH
May Spend S4,800,OO0 on a Road
Al-ng Pennsylvania Border to
Open Great Coal Fields.

The construction of 60 miles of new
road at cost of approximately 81, $780,
900 to extend from Smithfield, Pa, or
MorgantOwn, WA, to Wheeling, run
ming along the southeastern border line
OF Pennsylvania, is the purpose of the
Baltimore & Ohio, according to reports
current IN Pittsburg railroad circles.
1t is further declared that additional
trackage may be laid from the Deer
Park district in Maryland to connect
with the new line at Smithfield or Nor
gantown. The outcome of the latter
proposition, it is said, will depend upon
what is to be done with the Western
Maryland, Gould road, which other in
terests are dominating.
Baltimore & Ohio engineering corps
are working on the survey for the pro-
posed construction. The line will be
low grade, and besides making consid-
cradle reduction in the distance between
Morgantown and Wheeling, will open
up enormously valuable coal fields, whose
output will represent hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars to the trade and much
money to the railroad.
Quicker passenger service will also be
afforded between Morgantown and
Wheeling, and should connections be
effected between Morgantown or Smith
field with the main line of the Baltimore

schedule will result between the latter
place and Wheeling. Thence to War

THE NEW COURT HOUSE
y WAS DEDICATED MONDAY
Speeches Made By Members Of the
Bar, the Court and Commission.

Last Monday morning prior to con-
vening court for the December term a
very interesting and impressive cere-
mony took place in the court room,
participated in by the Court, members
of the bar, members of the Court House
Commission and by the Board of County
Commissioners. when the new building
was dedicated to the purposes for which
it had been erected.
The ceremonies were of an informal
nature to some extent and occupied
about two hours, closing with prayer
of thanksgiving by Rev. E. Manages
that the lives of those engaged in erect
ing the building had been spared and
asking Gods blessing upon the Court
and those connected with it in any way,
closing with the benediction
On the bench were Chief Judge A..
Hunter Boyd and Associate Judges
Robert R. Henderson and Martin L..
Keedy, while occupying the seats re
served for the jurors were assembled
the members of the bar and members of
the Court House Commission.
The first speaker was State Senator
Brown, who is secretary of the Com
mission having the erection of the build
ing in hand, and in his talk of a few
minutes duration he exhibited lucid
and comprehensive statement of the
work accomplished by the Commission
and short history of the growth and
wonderful development of Garrett
county, making the erection of the new
building absolutely necessary for the
purposes of the Court and the other
county officers. Mr.. Brown produced
figures showing the amount of money
received by the Commission as well as
the amount expended by it in building
and furnishing the structure, all of
which will appear in report to be pub
lished in the near future.
Following Senator Brown, Judge
Henderson addressed the assemblage,
congratulating the people upon the COM
: pletion of the building and earnestly
. arging all by precept and example to
AID in keeping the building and the
grounds surrounding it neat and pre-
sentable, and closing his remarks by
presenting to County Commissioner A.
c. Smith the keys to the court house,
the Commissioners being the custodians
of the public property.
Mr., Smith in accepting the keys said:
GAS member of the Board of County
Commissioners it falls upon me to accept
the keys to this beautiful building and
| do so gladly, knowing that a mistake
has not ben made in giving to the
people of this county such a structure.
We have been awakened to the needs
of the county in the matter of more
commodious quarters for the public

cessfully and thor ughly enforced, if
contrary to public sentiment, and that
the proper enforcement of a wise and
desirable law cannot be accomplished
without the aid of the law-abiding citi-
zens of community.
1t is therefore of the utmost impor-
lance that public sentiment be correctly
and honestly formed. One potent way
of accomplishing this is by sustaining
the legally constituted authorities. and
avoiding careless and unjust criticism
of them. You encourage the lawbreaker

upon the officers of the law. You are

would not have you to understand me
as denying your right to criticise the
actions of the officers of the law, if
they deserve it, however high they be,
but first be certain that your criticism
is just, and in reaching a conclusion on
that subject do not be guided ty preju-
/ dice or too great readiness to attribute
improper motives to others. The worst
critics are often the worst men; they
Judge others by themselves and impute e
bad motives to others because they
would in similar situations be influenced
by such motives. Some men spend their
lives in tearing down, and never build
up. Such men are of no good to the
community in which they live.
| But the way you can best help to Gre
ate proper public sentiment, in con-
nection with the subject we are consid-
ering, is by fearlessly and faithfully
doing your duty. If intelligent jurors
always measured up to the standard the
law establishes for them when in the
jury box, those less intelligent would
hesitate more to be influenced by SYM
patty, prejudice, mercy or other i'm
proper motives. 1t is true that
Earthly power doth then show likest Gods
When mercy seasons Justice
but when jurors are selected to deter
mine case, and invoke the presence of
Almighty God to witness that they
solemnly promise and declare that they
will well and truly try the issues before
them, or true deliverance make between
the prisoner and the State, according to
the law and evidence, and yet are influ-
enced to render a verdict contrary to
their honest convictions, by their sym
pathy for the prisoner or his friends,
then now easy it is for another jury
composed of perhaps less intelligent and
weaker men to be guided by their SYM
pathies or prejudices, and thus, perhaps
unconsciously, violate their oaths A
verdict of jury clearly contrary to the
law and the evidence should not be ap-
proved by public sentiment, which
should cause jurors to see how such a
verdict is regarded by law abiding peo-
pie. If all jurors were governed by the
law and the evidence alone, much of
the unfavorable criticism of the admin
istration of justice would cease. If
those who are placed in the jury-box, or
other. positions to administer Justice,
would arise above fear, favor, prejudice
and sympathy, we would then indeed

of all would be protected.
So without further OBTAINING you, l
would appeal to you, the law-abiding,
honest and intelligent people of Garrett
county, to'do your part towards making
this place where justice, which Daniel

of man on earth, shall always be done;
