TOWN AND VICINITY.
IicplN.

If all "A True Blue Republican" AYERS
be true, and he feels cOnscientiously that
it is his duty to vote, his is problem of
no small dimensions.
And the JOURNAL regrets that, being
cup a tree" in this and all similar IN
stances, it cannot help him solve it.
But Messrs. Lowndes and Pearre could
have done something in behalf of re-
moving the hateful "differential'-a
discrimination against the labor of this
region as well as the employing inter
ests, but 50 far as heard neither mani
tested any interest in it.
Two years ago Hon. David E. Dick,
of Baltimore, seemed to regard the diff
ferential' as matter of no moment
At least with him it was not a lire ques-
ton. Compared with the right of his
party to win and hold office, the "ditfer-
entail" was IA dead one. At that time
he may have conceded with Mr.
LOwndes, agreed with Mr.. Pearre, and
concurred with both.
But "A True Blue Republican" has,
in his own words, set up "a choice of
evils" and all the relief the JOURNAL
can afford him is-weigh each on his
own scales and choose the less.

Last year lady, residing in Frostburg
or Eckhart-it doesn't matter which,
was in Washington, d. c., accompanied
by son of about years. The latter
had for some time cherished an aspira-
ton to become when grown Congress
man, Senator or President, and was de-
termined to see sample of one or all
three before returning home. In fact,
of this he talked almost necessarily. In
going through oneof the corridors of the
Capitol, however, they encountered a
bent, frail old man whom a Washington
friend told them was Senator -, of

Two Better Than One.

Ex-Governor Frank Brown is said to
be Disguised with BaltimOre's failure to
get full command of the State.
He forgets, probably that Baltimore,
like the counties, is incapable of self
government; in short, that each must
have a boss.
Under which condition it is better for
the State to have two bosses than one
The smaller the minority the more

Should Go the Other Way.

1t is reported that bet of 500 is up
that Charles Z. Pryor, of this place, can
pace the distance between Frostburg and
Cumberland in less time than Chris.
Himmler, of Cumberland, can trot it.
The JOURNAL believes, however, that the
sprint should go the other way-from
Cumberland to Frostburg. Then a
horse can probably be found swift
enough to keep tab on the runners to
see that they don't at any time or point
drop out of the artistic pace or esthetic
trot into a rustic shuttle.

Do we want partisanship in our town
affairs?
My answer lS-HO!
And if that be the answer of every
true citizen, as it should be, we want to
say that vote for the ticket above
printed means vote against PARTISAN
ship i'll the transaction of our towns
business.
Vote, then, for the above ticket and
deal a powerful blow against all parties
who want to run the town in their own
interests.
Should we let political leaders arrange,
rule and run our town elections in order
that under the color and protection of
law they can parcel out the offices to
their favoutes, regardless of the towns
welfare:
Again we say-no!
Our duty, due to the town and to our
selves, is to vote against such proceed
ings every chance we get.
Now, then, would a third ticket, with
the two party tickets already i'll the
field, Win:
No.
Then there is only on thing left for us
to do, namely-split the two parties,
make them bipartisan, and thus destroy
their marty power.
In this way only will business obtain
proper BUSINESS recognition.
1t only remains to say that we, the
promulgatoFs of the above ticket-tuir 10

CROWDS GAZE AT BATHTUB
FOR T. ROOSEVELT, JR.
Order for Model Plumbing After He
Upset Tin Basin He 5athed
In and Soaked a
Rug

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. I'll
'pThese bath fixtures are for Theodore
Roosevelt, jr, and will be installed by
us i'm his apartments in Thompsonville."
This information, more or less artist
ically conveyed by a large placard in
the window of a Harrison avenue
plumbing establishment, attracted an
all-day crowd that gave rise to the i'm
preston that a bargain sale was in
progress in the normally quiet thorough
fare.
From unquestionable sources it was
learned that the presidents son has
found taking his matutinal bath in
large tin basin a serious discomfort in
learning the carpet business from the
top to bottom The limit came the
other morning when Theodore, jr,, fell
over the basin, thereby precipitating d
deluge which played havoc with the
only really first class rug in Thomp-
sonville.
The news of the Harrison avenue dis
play was telephoned to Thompsonville
and a delegation of enthusiastic towns
people came to Springfield on the first
trolley car to view the immaculate
enamel equipment, which is fitted with
the latest push button appliances.
The only discordant note in the YER
dict of unanimous approval was the
comment of an incorrigible youth of
IA: "Geel They'll have to build a new
house to go with Teddy, jr.s, tub
