Political.

d. p Miller, of Cumberland, is an
announced candidate for the republican
nomination for County Commissioner.
With well-known business ability of
high order and several years experience
in the office, he is particularly we'll fitted
for filling it i'll the public interest. 1t
was call of popular dimensions that
induced him to become a candidate.
The Midland correspondent of the
Cumberland TimFS names j. Edward
Wilson, of this place, for the House of
Delegates. Ed" is IA popular fellow in
both parties, and, though democrat, if
republican ladies Were not disfranchised
he would poll record breaking vote.

for the republican nomination for sheriff.
Mr.. Frantz already enjoys a splendid
record as IA public servant. Four years
he was clerk to the commissioners, and
then he made good both in an Of

i'll his pending enterprise he will "til

the JOURNAL, is not fond of the kind of
political gossip" that always has been
and always will be INDUCED by great
many voters. Otfice-seekers and office
holders. 1t is diScOuraging, at least, to
recall the campaigns of, say twenty years
ago, and find little if any change, except
in the numerous alleged "ref0rmS' from
time to time /. e., changes of form, but
never an effort, nor even suggestion OF
effort i'll the direction of regeneration.
Let man like William j. Bryan Sug
gest striking at the root of an evil, and
"the smoke from the dirty tobacco
pipes fills the air and the little reform
ers who want to be supported without
work by the public, begin to show that
Goldsmith was right in his description
of the politician"
OF course, there are men i'll public life
who are above reproach, and worthy of
the high places they fill. The judiciary
of the country, am glad to observe, has
SO far suffered less than any department
of our government at the hands of ordi-
nary "politicians.
But so soon as what we generalize as
"politics' (party politics. is permitted
to control those who ''construe and adj
minister the law we may as well resign
all hope of Renaissance of the law and
surrender to the variegated domain of
picturesque but fantastic reform.
1t is unfortunate that political parties
should even nominate our Judges; but,
as that must needs be, let us see to it
that, after that is done, the law abiding
citizens of both parties take hold and
show the "politicians' that the one
thing i'll our system we propose to keep
respectable and hold in high estimation
is our judiciary.
Pardon me for writing so much, but |
couldn't stop short of all wanted to say.

joying excellent health" and hoping +"

Party Politics,

CUMBERLAND, Nh, July ~, 1909.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
was charmed to get your letter of a
few days ago. How il recalled good old
, times 1t smacked of our quondam
fondness for political gossip" and if
it's that stripe of gossip" you still
enjoy, permit me to ask
FirSt-what is politics?
SPcOnd-what is gossip:
think it was Byron who said
"A thousand years scarce serve to form a
State =
An hour may lay it in the dust ~
And, If | am not too rusty to remember
rightly, it was Goldsmith who wrote
who born for the Universe, narrowed his
mind,
And gave up to party what was meant for
mankind
Such was politics and such the poll
tician i'll those days, and surely there
has been but little change since And
Third- i'll paradise Lost" the learned
author referred-not to gossip" when
he SAID
Good, the more communicated, the more
abundant grows"
And we have to turn to Daniel De-
ronda" to find that
Gossip is ii sort of smoke that comes
from the dirty tobacco pipes of those who
diffuse it it proves nothing but the bad
taste of the smoker"

An Able Effort.

The JOURNAL has read carefully the
address of William G. DeveCmOn, presi-
dent of the Maryland State Bar ASso-
citation at the Old Point Comfort Va
meeting this month.
1t is an able presentation of Mary.
lands constitutional history, evincing
much careful research, and, stated III
the language of the layman, it is in
structive to all readers.
As such and i'll its succinCt form it is
worthy to be adopted for reading and
study by the advanced scholarship of the
States schools
One fact is shown that should be re.
membered that the popular view of
1.-The right to vote" as to qualifications
has differed with the ages of Common
wealth history, but never as to cOiOr
since 1888.
But from one deduction the JOURNAL
dissents. Speaking of Baltimore S desire
for control of the State, he says:
1t is probably true that her four senators,
owing to the great amount OF city legislation
referred to them, are OverwOrked but con-
sidered from any other point of view, it
would seem that Baltimore's desire for a
proportionate or larger representation is
based upon sentimental rather than practical
grounds.
The JOURNAL believes, on the con
trary, that Baltimore's "desire Z
is based upon" practical rather than sen
timental grounds" There is nothing
sentimental in the arrogance of its
statesmen and buster of its newspapers.
They feel and they say i'll effect that the
city is greater than its tributaries-in
unit and in sum it is greater than those
who make it great. Wherein once they
speak for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
State, ninety-nine times it is for the
city.
For the counties, therefore, the issue
thus presented is one that will confront
their representatives at Annapolis next
winter. Moreover, it is an issue so vital
to county welfare that the ablcot, strong
est braveSt men the counties can muster
should be sent to the Legislature.
The democatic party of All"gany coun-
ty would do we'll to lead off 10y nomi-
mating William G. Drvecmon for the
State Senate.

Surgical attention was given, she rested

Thursday she complained of peculiar
pains In her neck and jaws. 1t was
then determined that these We're symp-

she died Saturday morning, 18th inst.

The archaic plan of abutting property
owners sharing the cost of public work
i'll paving improvement seems to prevail
in Cumberland also. Along with pro-
visions for this sort of contiscation very
logically go reports of protests filed by
owners on Allegany and Paca streets. -
The fair presumption is--if the city
would do city work at city expense,
lawyers wouldn't have to be hired to
fight off city improvement.

The JOURNAL had occasion recently to
write to f. Il. Johnston, of the staff of

reply came Wednesday and the great
paper takes the liberty of publishing it.
A letter from another Cumberland
resident contains this:
see that in the list of articles President
Taft wants to come in '.frcc of duty is
coal, and remember when the Wilson bill
provided for duty of about 40 cents ton,
you people up on Georges Creek raised a
great howl and sent delegations to Washing

trade.

democrats to "ruIn the coal trade" but

republicans do it.

OBSERVATIONS
The local team" writes Keno" sis
certainly playing good ball and, as was
predicted in these columns over month
ago, it is really on the very top of the
heap. The 'tln-hOrn sports of the great
Queen city have thrown up the sponge
and gone out of the base ball business
1t seems the propositiOnistS of the great
National game down there are after the
money rather than the sport, and, in
Conseque ace, they got neither. 1t is a
case of too much grab and not enough
of true craftsmanship. We had hoped
and, i'll fact, we have prepared to CON
test with the county-seat some good
games out now all seems on and we Will
have to look to the smaller towns
Hereafter we will not look to Cum
berland as a real factor in the base ball
dope book. We had expected that the
sport would have been put IN better
hands and conducted on a higher and
better plane. That it has not been is to
be deplored, and we can only hope that
away off i'll the dim and distant future
Cumberland will have team that will
stay the season through.
