Disciples Of Weston
 The Misses Faith and Ruby Sanborn, cousins of Mrs. Charles s. Phelps, of this village, made novel trip last week, walking from Southbury to Canaan. They took the jaunt leisurely, stopping nights at hotels and farmhouses along the way and, inasmuch as the weather was fine, they enjoyed thOir hike very much. They took many photographs every day. The young women left Southbury Monday morning and came by somewhat roundabout way. cover. ing about sixty miles in their walk. Monday evening they arrived at New Milford; Tuesday night they brought up at Kent, Wednesday night at West Cornwall, and Thursday afternoon they reached Canaan. They arrived at the Phelps residence at two o'clock in the afternoon, and after few hours visit. took train for Southbury Miss Ruby Sanborn Is teacher of science in the Beverly, Mass, high school.

THE SALOON

THE NEWS is in receipt of letter from Rev. Rennetts 0. Miller, who recently denounced the liquor traffic in a speech delivered in the Canaan Methodist Epis- rcopal church. We are requested to pub fish the communication and it may be found in another column of this issue MT. Miller spent the greater part of last week in Canaan in the interests of the temperance cause, and it is said that he will return later to assist in campaign against the saloon. After a nO-license period of twenty six years, North Canaan last October voted to let the saloon enter the town. We have had practically one year of the licensed liquor establish ment and the question of giving it new lease of life will come up at the approach ing election. Is more liquor drunk un- der license than under nO-license? This seems to be the paramount question which is agitating the people at this P &ime. The columns of THE NEWS arc popen for discussion to all who care to express an opinion in the matter. Con tributions will be welcomut; but in each instance the name of the writer must be Signed otherU Ise we cannot print the article. If so requested, we will not publish the name of the author. but we require the signature as an evidence Ot good faith.

OLD TIMES, OLD FRIENDS, OLD LOVE
 EUGENE FIELD

There are no days like the good old days, The days when we were youthful! When humankind was pure of mind, And speech and deed were truthful; Before love for sordid gold Became mans ruling passion, And before each dame and maid became Slavet to the tyrant fashion! There are no girls like the good old girls, Against the world I'd stake 'em! .As buxom and smart and clean of heart AS the Lord knew how to make lem! They were rich in spirit and common
 sense,
 And piety all supportin'; They could bake and brew, and had
 taught school, too, And they made such likely courtin'! There are no boys like the good old boys, When WE were boys togetherl When the grass was sweet to the brown
 bare feet
 That dimpled the laughing heather; When the pewee sang to the summer
 dawn
 Of the bee in the pillowy clover, Or down by the mill the whip-poor-will Echoed his night song over. There is no love like the good old love, The love that mother gave us! We are old, old men, yet we pine again For that precious grace-God save us! So we dream and dream of the good old
 times,
 And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder, As those dear. old dreams bring soothing
 gleams fOf heaven away off yonder.

A SEN SIBLE WOMAN

In recently denying the report that she has been won ever to the cause of woman suffrage, Marie CorelG the brilliant novelist said: "I should indeed be poor creature if I were a convert to the eminently foolish course which is unseXing so many women to-day" This declaration proves that Miss CorelG possesses as much good sense as she does imagination. If more women of her country were of her type, we would not read of so many dlsgraceful assaults by the suffragettes over there. When women begin to hurl bricks and stones at cabinet ministers, and display other anarchistic traits, it's high time they were taken i'll hand. We are sorry for England, but we are happy ill the be- lief that we have a sufficiently large number of Corellis in the United States to protect us from such heinous outrages
 William J. Bryan has announced his intention of visiting the Alaska YukOn- Pacific Exposition during the closing week. huu 6ApIoSS6u LIS WIllltlSl6SS VO take part in any exercises that may be arranged. Plans are under way for the celebration of Bryan Day. with excur- sions from all parts of the Northwest - Press report.
 Such an honor to the eminent Nebras- kan would be perfectly fitting; for, re- gardless of party affiliations, every broad minded American recognizes, in William J.. Bryan, one of our noblest and truest patriots. To hear him deliver the lecture on his trip around the world is to be convinced that he has the inter ests of his country at heart as truly as had Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lin coln. Bryan is one of the greatest con- moners this country has produced (the most illustrious living commoner, by far), and inasmuch as he is such mag nifioent character, Bryan Day" at the big fair would be most appropriate.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1909.
REV. EDWARD F. X. McSWEENEY.

The death of DR.. Insolvency. does
beyond any doubt take from Mt. st.
Mary's and this community man
and priest who stood high in the al
lection and esteem of all classes and
conditions of men. The public was
striken with great sorrow because OF
the extreme love that they all bore
to him in his incoming and outgoing
among them for the many years that
he has been at the old mountain.
While his vocation did not bring him
to Thurmont very frequently, yet he
was one of the most beloved by The
people of Thurmont Of all who have
had charge of the spiritual welfare OF
Mt. St. Mary's College. A kinder
and more gentle hearted man than ne
never visited this community. The
people of Thurmont remember him
well on the last occasion in which he
appeared publicly in Thurmont, just
one year ago at the opening of the w.,
F. & G. Railway. He always took a
lively interest in everything that was
intended for the material welfare OF
the north end of the county, and was
particularly interested in the w., F.
& G. Railway and its extension by
the College on to Emmitsburg and
Gettysburg. His loss is distinct
one and his death will be sincerely
mourned by many for time to come.

In Memoriam.
In loving remembrance of my dear hus-

years ago, October %, 1907.
The last farewell was spoken,
Two years ago today;
Our hearts left chrushed and broken,
When our dear father passed away.
By his wife and children.
For the golden gates were open,
And gentle voice said come;
Then we were all heartbroken,
God had called my grandpa home.

Banks are generally started to sup
ply some local need for the banking
public, giving every one facilities in
the neighborhood in which people
naturally do business, and it is not a
natural way to do banking business
by bank in Brunswick, for instance,
bidding for deposits in the neighbor-
hood of Emmitsburg. The whole sit
uation will be watched with more than
ordinary interest by people both with
in and without Frederick county.

FOUR PER CENT. FOR INTEREST
DEPOSITS.

About year or more ago there
was established in Middletown Saw
ings Bank under the name of the
Middletown Savings Bank, it being
the outgrowth of some banking diff
ferences in that town. As matter
of punishment to the old bank, the
new one Immediately proceeded to
bid for interest depositors, Offering
4% interest.
They have made a campaign of the
county irregardless of the neighbor-
hood in which they would logically
do business, and argued that 4% was
easily paid by the banks. In Mid
dletown Valley where there are four
or five banks the rate of 4& was met
promptly. In the great desire for
business and bidding for deposits the
Middletown bank succeeded, in vari
Gus parts of the county, in inducing
some depositors to place their money
with them, and about two weeks ago
the Emmitsburg Savings Bank and
Amman, Horner & Co., Emmitsburg,
met the rate for the reason that the
Middletown bank was entering their
territory. Middletown being but s
miles from Frederick, and being an
noycd by the bidding for deposits,
the Central National Bank of Fred
erick week ago also raised its rate
to 40, all of the other banks in Fred
erick following suit few days later.
The Citizens Savings Bank of this
place met this rate more than week
ago and publicly announced the same
on Saturday last.
The Thurmont National Bank of
this place likewise, on Friday last,
raised its rate to 4 per cent.
Walkersville and Woodsboro, we
are advised, have met the rate.
The Citizens Savings Bank of this
place has always paid 3t%. The
various banks of the county, except
ing the Citizens Bank, for the last
ten or twelve years, have been on a
80 basis.
There certainly can be no complaint
from drpositors in any quarter now
that they do not receive the very
highest rate for money on interest
deposits. 1t remains to be seen as
to whether or not there will be a gen
eral scramble among the banks of the
county for business and whether it
shall in the end become the survi-
val of the fittest" to do banking along
these lines.
The Middlctown Savings Bank has
the proud distinction of having bro't
about this condition. 1t is doubted
in many quarters whether or not the
general advertising for deposits many
miles from the place of business, where
the personel of the bank is not known,
will appeal strongly to persons having
money to deposit. 1t is true large
Trust Companies in many of the cit
les advertise for business in this way,
but that is quite a different matter
from small local bank attempting
