BILL TO DECLARE OWNERSHIP
OF THOROUGHFARE.
Delegate Garrett Of Maryland Leg.
islature Hopes to Settle the
Vexed Question.

ANNAPOLIS, March a5.-Through q
joint resolution which he introduced yes.
terday Mr.. Garrett of Montgomery hopes
ultimately to obtain an answer to the old
old question, Who has jurisdiction OF
Conduit road-Maryland or Uncle Sam
In the passage Of years Attorney General
Bonaparte has decided in favor of Uncle
Sam. and Judge Henderson. father of one
Of Mr.. CARROTS colleagues. has decided
for Maryland.
When Automobiles were wont to break
speed limits on this pike Mr.. Garrett,
then mayor of Glen Echo. took drastic
measures to repress their enthusiasm and
made things unpleasant for persons in
even high places in Washington. Where
upon Uncle Sans aid was enlisted, and
Mr.. Bonaparte stepped gently on Mr..
CARROTS face.
Jurisdiction the Issue.
Now, says Mr.. Garrett, automobiles
and others are running riot over the six
teen-mile stretch, and he wants to find
out who has jurisdiction. Hence his reso-
luton to empower the attorney general to
take steps to this end.
BY a resolution of Congress in 1S41 the
President was authorized by Congress to
acquire certain lands in Maryland for a
waterway through which to pipe water to
the District of Columbia, and in 1S43 the
general assembly of Maryland coded the
stretch now in question. Over this pipe
line, however, the United States built a
road sixteen miles long and from 60 to-1OO
feet wide.
Since the completion OF this road the
question Of jurisdiction has been set
tied in favor of the state and the United
States alternately over half a dozen
times. -.

column. Editor Harris is confined

The devil had written the editorial.
Being of feminine makeup we

some of the things they say about
the present Judge of Probate. If
this passes muster. you will know
the boss is still on the sick list. altho
he has no word of criticism for any
of the candidates.
In another editorial. the Censor
says: Reports have it that editor

has a bee in his bonnet for the

way man ever knows how popular
he is, is to run for some public

Startling Statistics on Crime Given by
Judge LaudOn.

The White Ribboner's meeting of
Thursday was a decided success.
Miss June Aiken gave fine reading,
Professor Hermann's description of a
Christian Citizen pleased the most
critical hearer.
Judge Laudon, speaking of Law
Enforcement. gave some startling
facts regarding the way in which
the law is not enforced. He said:
Crime costs US So. 800, 900 per day.
There are 250.OO0 engaged in sys-
tematic crime as business, whom
laws do not touch. There are 200
persons murdered per week, 10000
every year in the u. S. In some
states one murderer in every hun
dred is punished, in other states
two per cent. Chicago averages
118 murders a year, Paris only Is;
London. four times the size of Chi
cago, only 20. In year Georgia
has As murders, more than the
whole British Empire.
There are more people murdered
than killed on our railroads. In
three years more persons murdered.
than the British lost in the Boer war.
Four and half times as many muir
ders as twenty years ago.
Other countries are far behind us
in crime. and ahead of us in punish
ment. 95 per cent of murderers in
Germany are punished, in Spain IS
per cent. France 81 per cent, Italy
" per cent and England so per cent.
Compare this with heecotd of
the United States. Seventy-fve
per cent Of criminals arrested, for
petit larency. pocket picking, hold

York. are freed by ward politicians.
OF 786. 900 arrests last year $50, 900
were for drunkenness. When the
liquor il banished. the police will
perhaps attend to other things.
Judge Laudon asserted that matters
were improving even now.

Memorial Sunday of this year was
observed here in a way well calcu-
lated to carry out its object. as a
perpetual memorial of the sacrifices
made by the patriotic people of the
civil war period. Notwithstanding
the fact that the day was one of the
most disagreable since last winter,
by reason of high wind, the Christ
ian church was we'll filled in the
morning and the G. A. r. comrades
and members of the relief corps
made an impressive turnout. The
choir Mrs. Neiman and Miss Amy
Barnes, Mrs. Philbrick and Miss San
ford, Messrs. VIM. Whittet and DON
aid Stewart rendered some fine
music, and Pastor Ehrstein of the
Presbsterian church warmed the
hearts of the veterans with an appre-
ciatiye summing up of the lessons
of the great conflict.
Perhaps the most educational
feature Of the discourse was the
pastors parting injunction for the
benefit of the present and future

A GOOD PHYSICIAN.
Tribute Of Fellow Citizen to the Late
DR.. Reynolds.


Few men have greater opportunity
for doing good in personal way
than the country doctor, and the
following from the Aledo Times
Record shows that DR.. NJ. G. Rev
nolds lived up to his opportunities:
DR. Reynolds left Aledo May 10th
for Redwood Falls, Minnesota, where
ne had recently acquired consider
able landed interests; he was ailing
at the time, but with that singular
fortitude and lack of complaining
which so marked him, he said little
about it. Upon his arrival in Red
wood Falls he went to the home Of
his friend, John Drury; brave, hope
ful, CHEEKY, patient, unafraid and
without misgiving, he lay suffering
from ptomaine poisoning until his
call came, Friday. May Is, at about
$50 o'clock. when his spirit went
home.
so passed an honorable and an
honest man. Few are so peculiarly
gifted in their personal qualities as
he. Outwardly mild and unassum-
ing, yet ne bore spirit that was
uncomfortable. His rule of conduct
was to pursue the right, so far as he
knew it, and when once his mind had
determined what the right was, his
will was iron and his determination
inflexible. Without making any out
ward display or pretentions of excel
lence, he was an exemplary man and
citizen and seemed free from the or
binary vices of mankind. These
things he did, because it was a tenet
of his profession to do right because
| 1T was right. He was as true and
steadfast to his friends as he was in
his financial undertakings. He was
slow to censure; never spoke Of
friend or foe. except on the most
urgent provocation Sham and pre-
tense he detested, but cherished hon.
esty and upright dealing. In his
life as a physician. he was loved and
respected by all with whom he came
in contact. Through storm and sun
shine, through the gloom and cold Of
the winter night and the blazing sun
of the summer day, he drove on his
errands of mercy. Pressing the hot
forehead of the fevered child with
his cool hand in the silent watches Of
the quiet night. ministering to pain
and suffering and sorrow, he went
about his task in the perplexing prob.
lem of life and death and poor
humanity. And he went with 3
smile and hope, telling them with
his gentle voice Of health anc
strength and better days to come
No one ever came to him in distres:

against one of the boys legs, below

young voters were actually splitting

passage of the sad drama of actual
warfare, the significance of which
