ORIGINAL POETRY.


Down the road and through the lane
Comes the tramp with an ambllng gait,
Striking terror to Children's hearts
Passing their doorways early and late.
People shun him wherever he goes
And rejoice when they see him no more
Ragged and dirty, unkempt, unshOrn-
Begging his way from door to door.
An aimIess wanderer over the earth
Spending his nights in stacks of hay;
Cursing his luck as he plods along
YEARLY, sullenly, day by day.
"Only a tramp''-whom nobody loves
Nobody cares where he goes or stays;
And yet. perhaps, in faroff home
A mother kneel> by her bed and prays.
A mother once held him to her heart
This uncOuth tramp was her pride and
joy;
And SO let us offer prayer Ito night
For this tramp who Is somebody's
wandering boy"

The Broad View.

Lloyd burst, county commissioner, is
represented as saying he had voted for
appropriations for school buildings in
Cumberland, Frostburg aud other places,
and now that Homecoming needs more
accommodations he should vote to pro-
vide them also" Mr. burst is right
The usual thing, however, for public
trustees is to vote for home enterprises"
to the limit without persuasion, and, if
any money is left, to vote 1t to outside
needs grudgingly. The moral is-a
public servant should regard the whole
county as h0mP.

The National Pike.

national ana OUdte dlltCIlhS V'i' A'"''
al Pike, has contemplated its building
and maintenance as a tranS-contlnental
highway as far as that ideal could be
cOnSummated.
Indeed, as early as 197 the project
was mooted as The Gateway to the
West" and five years later, when ONO
was admitted as a State, it was provided
that 5 per cent. of the proceeds of public
land sales should be appropriated to the
construction of through highway from
east to west.
This furnished precedent for similar
provisions in the Acts admitting Indiana
Illinois and Missouri.
Construction began i'll 1911 and ten
wears later it was opened to travel, and
for thirteen years it was a ndtiOHdi
highway, the States having no control
whatever.
In 1884 the government turned it over
to the States upon condition that it could
be reclaimed if, for any reason, the gov
eminent should require it.
The States through which the high
way passes have, therefore, been "the
trustees of an express truSt'-a trust
which, in Maryland, has been wofully
neglected, if not abused.
This history is briefly recited by the
JOURNAL with the hope that it may
help to impress those in highway au-
thority with sense of official obligation
to restore the road to its ancient prestige
as Americas first model highway bond
of union between the east and the west
More than this, perhaps, the material
needs of both through travel and local
traffic demand this at hundreds of
places. No community suffers from the
advertising it gains from location on
much-traveled route, and all communi-
ties are benefCiaries of easy access from
their industrial environment.
If the National Pike We're restored to
FEASIBILITY, not Frostburg alone, but
there isn't town on its entire length,
no matter how prosperous. whose pros
perity would not be further promoted
1t was correctly stated at the Cumber-
land meeting that the primary design of
the Road Commission A It was to build
Through highways one of which
everybody understood to be building
the long Maryland stretch of the
National Pike
Taking its cue from this conception,
the Road Directory of Allegany county
determined to make good locally by
building a road from Westernport up
the creek, crossing the pike at Frostburg,
to Mt. Savage, and, connecting with
pike above Cumberland, achieve a model
through route all the way through the
most populous portions of the county
from the western to the eastern limit.
With this as platform at least one
candidate for Director was elected last
year, furnishing inCOntestable proof of
what the people Undrrstood, .feH and IN
tented to promote.
But the State has gone back" on
them. The State has failed to cooper
ate, as promised. The National Pike
has had to surrender its first, paramount
turn at the call of cross road squeaks
whose building policy puts on the roof
before the foundation is laid.
In consequence the east bound tourist
debOuches north or south before he
county farmer must 60 to markets al
ready crowded.
The situation is one which calls for
strenuous popular action, especially in
this county.
