Correction.

The MINING JOURNAL, last week, III an
effort to boom the candidacy OF Clayton
PurnelI for the State Senate, claims to nave
discovered that there is sentiment abroad
in the State favoring the abolition of the
appropriation for the State Normal school
at Frostburg. In order to prevent such
catastrophe all people of the county, par
ticularlv of Frostburg, are urged to vote for
Mr.. Purnell-Cumberlan Imerjcd".
Not accurately stated.
The JOURNAL claimed no discovery
least of all a special sentiment abroad
in the State favoring the abolition OF
the appropriation for the State Normal
School at Frostburg."
The JOURNAL had reference to pro-
posal originated and promoted in
economical circles to abolish all stdnding
appropriations in the State, probably
good measure, generally considered.
But as applied to State schools the
JOURNAL believed and still holds that
an exception should be made of the State
schools because it would vitality weaken
lut tlltCltHCN VI thoSO iic'i'hpiohS w ~
duce their tenure TO two years. No
State school with four-year course
could ever look beyond tenure of two
years, which would be IA Legislative
anomaly.
And four-year courses are beginning
every year
To secure an exception of this char
acter will take trained workmanship in
both scholarship and law.
Hence, the JOURNAL urged and still
urges the people to elect Clayton Pur-
nell to the State Senate-a man whose
nine years experience as a member of
the State Board of Education. reinforced
and concerted by three times nine years
in the practice of law, constitute pre-
cisely and tittingly the very qualifications
which work so strenuous, yet so deli
cate, may require.
To save the State schools from fight
every two years for life, vote for Clayton
Purnell for the State Senate.

The Voter is the States Trustee.
There is much persifiage eXtant coz
corning "the right to vote.
Primarily, there is no such night
There are but three human rights -
these inherent alike in the individual and
the mass-"life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness"
The so-called right to vote, there
fore, is misnomer. Atfirmatvely' IL
is an endowment of the individual by
the mass
The mass includeS-not men only, but
women, minors, children, helpless and
insane.
In the interest of all these the suffrage,
inherent in all, is conferred by the State
upon the adult males, the be stowal EN-
bodving the duty as well AS power OF
voting for what appears to each TO be
best for the general welfare.
The adult males roIc is one of sover-
eighty, but his office as voter Is that OF
trustee.
Indeed, brought up to its literal and
complete significance, he IS III" trustee o.
on crDreSS tC"&t!
The Commonwealth of Maryland,
therefore, for It's o,rn weit"T o"ig, mas
as full power to prescribe the qualItica-
tons of male resident to fill the office
of voter AS it has to fix his qualifications
l,a off nf Governor
Hence, every voter may be eligible to
promotion to the office of governor, but
who has the hardihood to assume that
he has "rjghf' to approve or veto leg
islative enactments:
In the instance of the proposed amend
ment fixing suffrage qualifications, an
educational and a property test, there
may be from party points OF view much
provocation for "wailing and gnaShlng
of teeth" but that the State has the
riqtt to declare and the power to ordaln
that its better or best class of citizens
shall constitute its electorate cannot be
1ntelligently or safely questioned.
One of the best exemplars of this view
is the State of Massachusetts, and 1t was
John Adams who defined it as the rule
of the republic
He might have gone further and de-
clared that it is the fear of rule by Hit
eracy that furnishes the only Justlflca-
ton for the supcrSedeaS of monarchy

A Pronounced Success.

"A Dream of Mysticland, under di-
rection of Miss E. Buch, was presented
in Frostburg Opera House Thursday and
Friday evenings and in matinee Satur-
day of last week for the benefit of Beall
High School.
To say that it achieved a great success
would be putting it mildly, as it was the
most pleasing production by home talent
witnessed locally in long time.
There We're between $50 and 300 peo-
pie in the cast, deliberately costumed,
and presenting scene beautiful to look
upon, while the musical numbers-the
singing and dancing. and the stage set
tings called forth general commentator.
The scenes We're most beautiful, to-
gether with the elaborate costumes,
which were shown to the best advantage
by the colored lights thrown upon them,
adding greatly to the brilliancy of all
the acts. Many of the musical features
called forth encOrcS, which were given.
To select those who enacted their parts
best would be task, but Miss Virgie
Hartig, as Fairy Queen" and "Colum-
bia," made a big hit i'll her song-"In
the Garden of Roses.
Miss Alice Maydwell, as 1.-The Indian
Maiden did exceptionally well and
earned the encOres to which she was
called
Great credit is also due Miss Elizabeth
Hitchins, who played the part of Miss
Nobody" Although only child, Miss
Hitchins performed her role with the
ease and grace of one much older.
Rear Hosken, as "Jikki' the jester,
rendered his character well. contributing
much to the humOr of the play.
Il 70 in ha Of
Harold Eichhorn, deserved the great ap-
plause accorded him as he sang" When
the Band plays Yankee Doodle"
The Wonder Girls and Boys" made
i fine appearance and performed their
part most admirably.
1.-The Honey Girls" with Miss Edyth
Price as leader aroused applause which
was fully merited.
Miss Blanche Stanton, little girl. did
we'll AS soioist in the chorus-"All Boys
Look Good to Me-
Another juvenile performer deserving
creditable mention is Miss Alice Fuller,
who sang Teddy Bear Girl"
The singing by Walter McLuckie is
worthy of special notice. He has a
strong voice of unusual richness. In
deed, the play would not have been
complete without his splendid work.
Much praise must be given to the
trainer-Miss E. Buch, and her corps of
assistants, composed of High-School
teachers, who labored most faithfully to
put the play before the public in such Il
short time.

There is a Difference.

The most serious allegation yet made
against judge Boyd is-he is "a Virginia
democrat"
Which implies that the judge erred i'll
being born and reared in a realm which
furnished martyrs to American liberty
100 years before those who fell at York
town, and educated in a school whence
the Declaration of Independence ema-
nated-and the same school wherein the
first Bill of Rights was written both
democratic instruments.
The JOURNAL would like to elaborate,
but time and space fail.
1t would like to draw in forgiving tone
a verbal diagram of the exact difference
between ga Virginia democraf' ard .
Scotch republican.

Nominees, On Which Side ?

So far there is but one legislative
nominee unreservedly and publicly COM
mitted to opposition to Baltimore-city
rule of the State.
Still better-he stands voluntarily
upon that platform.
His name is Clayton Purnell, and the
office for which he stands is State
Senator.
Which suggests the question-on
which side-city or counties, stand the
other legislative nominees of both par
ties implicitly or otherwise?
If they stand by the counties now,
openly or silently, will they be as weak
at Annapolis as the county was in Balti.
more at both State conventions?
And now is the time for the John Adams
republican and Thomas Jefferson demo.
crat to declare his independence OF
Baltimore rule!
