"WM. NJ. o. DAWSON"
Governor Dawson does not mince
words. in condemning those who have
used, every known attack upon Mr..
Swisher and resorted to every con-
temptible. dishonest and ,dishonorable
means TO defeat him, and very truly
does he compare their course to that
against him, when he was running for
governor. But, he, like Swisher, was
on the side OF the people and right,
and won. SO will Mr. Swlsher win.
/, Tho chief executive of the state
pays his respects to one opposition
newspaper by calling It SANDER fac
tory. and very truly so. since 1t was
not content with Its attacks on Swish
er but entered the sick room OF the
governor himself to add misrepresen-
tatlons and to make annoying In
situations against the governor.
The Governors eagerness for the
nomination OF Swisher Is also indi-
Gated by him in the letter. and this
alone should inspire all believers In
the Governors policies to rally in
solid phalanx TO the support of
Swlsher.
Indeed, the Governors letter
ought to cause an awakening among
the Republican voters of West Vir-
glnia TO the deception practlced by
the opponents OF swisher and the
designs they have on the people in
favor of interests. whose course in
the matter OF low and equal taxation
does not stamp them as friends OF the
average taxpayer.

There is believed to be a probability
that the town Of Rockville will soon be
involved in a lawsuit the object of which
will be to prevent the Rockville town
council from constructing a sewer along
the public school lane from the main
street Of the town. Work on the sewer
was begun several days ago. and at the
meeting of the town council last evening
Attorney Robert B. Peter. representing
the Stonestreet heirs. served notice that
if the work is persisted in injunction pro-
ceedings will be instituted. the objection
to the construction of the sewer being
that 1t will dump the filth of the town on
property owned by the heirs.
AS a result Of the threatened injunction
proceedings the work has been suspended
and the matter referred to the town S
counsel, Edward c. Peter. by whose adj
vice the council will be guided.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF GRADE.
Public Hearing Granted by the
Commissioners.

At a public hearing held by the Com
ing arguments for and against lowering
the grade at goth street and Rhode ISL
and avenue were offered by a number of
property owners in that vicinity and
residents interested in the proposed
change of grade.
b. F. Edwards Of the Edwards Land
and Building Company urged lowering
the grade. He claimed that it would
result in much benefit and would in
crease property values in that vicinity.
H. B. Holeman and John l.. Knox also
favored the proposition to lower the
grade.
Those who spoke in opposition con-
tended that such a change would neces-
state the moving Of the gas and water
mains and that the alteration is not
desired by many residents in the i'm
mediate neighborhood Among those who
vpoke against the propositions were
George r. Robinson and w. L. Owens.
Those present at the hearing were:

Our Patriotic Songs.
70 the Editor Of The Star:

TO Inc Editor OF me
have recently read an article in The
Star entitled THE Star Spanged Ban
ner." taken from the Pittsburg Gazette
Times, and feel moved to write on the
subject of our patriotic music.
We have more patriotic songs than any
other nation in the world. Some are pc
culiarly local. but they contain general
sentiments. therefore have become ma
tional airs and are received with enthu-
siasm throughout our land. There is
Yankee Doodle. ION the Road to Bos-
tom" MY Dog and Gun" and Washing
tons March, of colonial fame, still sung
and played by the New Englanders. The
latter. with pleasing variations, Is played
frequently in some of the parks OF our
Capital city and at the Capitol grounds
and White House lot every Wednesday
and Saturday the year round. There are
Dixie and MY Maryland and March
ing Through Georgia" and others the
products of the civil war. Again. MY

in our schools and churches.
Columbia. the Gem Of the Ocean," Is a
British song set to an English tune. yet
turned to good account by every loyal cit
lien. The two distinct national songs are:
I'd Hail. Columbia written when war
seemed inevitable with France. Various
debates In and out of Congress seemed
to engender spirit of revenge. and diplo-
matte relations between the United States
and France were about to he interrupted.
IT was first rendered in a crowded the
alter. 1t Is said the object OF the author
was to arouse spirit OF patriotism and
love of country, TO awaken feelings above
any party and spread such spirit that
would drown prejudice and spirit of re-

tually averted. 90 The Star Spangled

much of history as this We are all IA
miliar with its history After the British
had burned the Capitol In Washington
city and advanced to Ba fillmore they met
small number of Americans. most Of
whom were captured and confined in some
or the vessels of large fleet then pre-
pairing to attack Fort McHenry Among
the prisoners was one DIR. Beanes. Under
nag of truce Francis Scott Key started
to the flagship. Admiral Cockburn's yes
lease. He was detained in a small boat
moored at the stern of the flagship during
the commandment of the fort over twenty
1--WE hours. At last, in the early dawn.
he saw the Star Spangled Banner still
waving on the fort He snatched an en-
velope from his pocket and gave vent to
his delight in the words and spirit OF
the song. He entitled il the Defense OF
Fort McHenry." That week Il was pub
llshed In Baltimore paper. Ferdinand
Durang. an actor. read ii TO soldiers and
marines assembled in the theater and was
persuaded to set II to music. He selected
the air of Adams and Liberty and
sang 1t to the soldiers of the army and
navy. At once il was caught up with
wondrous enthusiasm and ushered forth
as one of our national songs The music
he chose was composed by Dr. Arnold for
the odd Drinking Song to "Anacreon in
Heaven" which was first used to the ode
Adams and Liberty" written by Robert
Paine of Massachusetts.
In 1889 Secretary B. F. Tracy of the
United States Navy issued the following
order:
NO. 314. In order to insure uniformity,
the following routine will be observed at
morning and evening colors on board of
all men of war in commission and at all
naval stations: When the band is present
II Will play at morning colors the Star
Spangied Banner and at evening colors
Hail. Columbia All persons present be-
longing to the navy. not so employed as
to render ii impracticable. will face to the
colors and salute as the ensign reaches
the peak or taffrail or ground in haul
ing
AS far as 1 have been able to find, this
order Is the only official recognition Of
these two national songs.
l am told also that there has not been
any official act in other countries for their
national songs. JAMES NJ. NOURSE.

Disablement of Boilers Does Not

Owing to the fact that the boilers Of
the steamer ST. Johns, which runs be-
tween this city and River View. were out
of commission yesterday the big steam
boat was lowed to that resort. the MORN
ing and afternoon.
1t is stated that the boat had been
chartered for the trips yesterday, and
that workmen have been engaged In re-
pairing the boilers, and no steam could
be made, with the result that a tug was
chartered to tow the steamer with its
crowd of excursionists to the resort. The
same plan was carried out in the after
noon which made the trips considerably
longer.
The steamboat company Is said to have
endeavOred to secure another boat, and
to have offered as much as $500 for the
use. of it for each trip. but it could
not secure the boat.
The. steamer Arrowsmith was secured
for service today, and took the place Of
