Political.

Frederick Perry, of Cumberland, as
pires to the office of county commits
siOner, and, i'll addition to the little
stated in his announcement, says he pro-
poses practical, substantial, economical
administration of the office with due re
gard to all sections of the county. Mr..
Perry is a capable man and will probably
come as near doing all he wishes as any
other candidate.
Messrs. G. A. Hice, of Mt. Savage,
Adam Lebeck, of Westernport. and Lloyd
burst, of Homecoming, incumbent conn
ty commissioners, are announced Candi-
dates for denomination and election.
All were so endorsed two years agO-a
rare compliment, and all continue to be
deserving.
Elsewhere Gerrit Smith, of Cumher-
land. announces his candidacy for the
sheriff's place on the democratic ticket.
Mr.. Smith is a most excellent citizen,
amiable gentleman, and in the position
which he ultimately seeks would be
competent and safe. Mr.. Smith owns
property both in Cumberland and Iona
cOning-a circumstance which broadens
his citizenship beyond that of the aver
age candidate.

And There You Are.

y controversy got spl ung this week in
Cumberland over newspaper circula-

times brings equality and quantity"
into competing juxtaposition.
The controversy was conducted i'll a

reference to cellar" and "sewer hole"

apparently stilled by the recitation of

reader of this item be republican or a

TOWN AND VICINITY,
Orman-Strcet Extension.


Some folks got in high dudgeon last
week because the Journal reported that
propertyOwne will get their paving
without cost.
The JOURNAL reported what MANY
auditors of Council proceedings under
stood.
But it was slightly mistaken. The
facts seem to be
l, The paved portion of the street 200
feet long, is to be 2S feet wide between
curbs; $500 square feet, or 622l square
yards.
2, At the price charged on Broadway
-S2O5 square yard, the paving will
cost $1,275 80.
3, OF this sum $l30 is to be contribu-
TED by the property -owners, 81, l45. 30 by
the town.
H. That is, the Orman-street property
owners will pay 10 per cent, instead of
66s& per cent paid by Broadway owners.
Now, people, what think you of this diff
ferentlatlon against Broadway-especi
ally you who thought Broadway owners
should be pressed to the pound of flesh''
limit and then chOked?
What do you think of a system which
works so unsystematically:
But here the JOURNAL would like if
understood that 1t urges no fault against
the favored property-owners Under
the anti-Golden Rule ethics of business
they seem entitled to the benefit of the
best bargain they can drive.
But looking at the difference from the
popular-not the individual side. it is
this week question, as it was last
how can the peoples trustees in the
town council find 1t so easy, administra-
lively or conscientiously, to charge 50. O5
on Broadway for each SO cents charged
on Orman street:

How 1t Should Be Done.

The Cumberland .1mericHn intimates
that because democratic governors have
filled vacacies upon the bench of the
Circuit Court by appointing democrats,
the republicans should retaliate by
selecting party man to run for the office.
Perhaps the governors did wrong, but
does another wrong make the thing
right?
Is tit-for tat good game to play in
filling judgeship vacancy, especially in
an instance where the chief position in
the State is involved?
As matter of fact, The pcopIc should
be greater and broadsr than anyone of
their number who sits as party man in
the gubernatOriaI chair
The sovereign people should not take
their cue from any servant no matter
where he serves.
Hence, it would be good thing for
circuit and State if leading democrats
and republicans would arrange
|, That the democrats should not make
party matter of the situation by nomi-
mating judge Boyd, and
=, That republicans also decline to
nominate a candidate.
This after Judge Boyd announces him
self a candidate for reelection
No Going Back on This.
Politicians invariably overestimate pOlIt-
cal effects. The great body of the people,
regardless of occupation or calling, want to
see what is essentially the right thing done
Cumberland Ncrs.
Which is precisely what the JOURNAL
wants to see in the Orman street extern
sion matter.
If for any reason prOperty-owners on
the extension are not able to take the
same prescription issued to property
owners on Union and Broadway, Coun-
Gil should do as it frequently does in tax
and waterdue cases, dccIare them IN
sOIren.

OVERSKIRT DRAPERIES
IN FAVOR THIS SEASON

OverslSirt draperies in every form that
the fashion artist can design are play
ing a prominent part in the winter
modes. They are a distinctive feature
OF afternoon or reception gowns. and
some kind Of gauzy drapery, whether
sash, tablier or pannler. Is likely to
be seen on the evening gown also.
Satin crepe. liberty satin, crepe
meteor. chiffon cloth, cachemiro de soie
and chiffon velvet are fashionable
fabrics for afternoon gowns. The
majority Of such costumes are made
with short sweep. though some wo-
men prefer the skirt In walking length
whenever Il is 90 be worn on the street
az all.
These daytime gowns for ceremon-
ious occasions or for the afternoon tea
hour admit the use OF gorgeous ma
teriais In colors more conspicuous than
for the morning suit. but often they
are softened by an undertone Of copper
or silvery gray This softening OF
the bizarre Oriental colors produces
the most charming effects imaginable
and renders the tones more adaptable.
An idea which the best Parisian
houses favor is TO have a diaphanoua
drapery OF chiffon, mousseline dc sole,
lace. or net over a lustrous satin
foundation.
To drop useful hint right here,
sillSen gowns OF a desirable color and
somewhat the worse for wear may be
economically renovated for another
season by yelling them with any OF the
previously mentioned transparencios
For instance, a gown OF copper-colored
satin may be veiled with a transparent
ollve-green fabric such as net or chif-
fon.
