"ME TOO" ON THE BLINK
Small Car OF w. B. & A. City Service
Has Disastrous Argument With A
Freight Train

me too" the small car which
handles the city and Camp Parole
service of the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis Electric Railway, is
laid up in the car hospital at Acad-
emy Junction in a sorely battered
condition as result of an encounter
with freight train on Saturday aft
eFnoon.
NE too" got its funny name
through the dry humor of a retired
naval officer who lives along its route
and had noticed its habit of follow
ing busily along behind each of the
big interurban cars 70 pick up the
tardy passengers and land them at
the station in time to catch the Bal
timore and Washington connections.
On Saturday afternoon the little
car was in collision with a freight
train at Camp Parole siding, and
while no one was injured the front
of the little car was 50 bady bat
tered up as to put it out of COM

MIDSHIPMAN IS DROPPED
Iuaptitude Puts End To Naval Career OF
J. 7. Iiarman On Bowers Recon-
mendatiOn

Upon the recommendation Of Su-
perintendent Bowyer of the Naval
Academy, the naval career of Mid
shipman John T. Harman, Jr., has
been cut short and the compulsory
resignation of that young man is az
cepted by the Navy Department.
The specific charge against young
Harman was inaptitude, he having
received considerably more than the
number of demerits for the term.
Harman was member of the fourth
class, having entered the Academy
on May II last under an appoint
ment by representative Flood, from
the Tenth district Of Virginia.

CLEAN YOUR PAVEMENT
That's The Effect OF A City
Ordinance Which Seems Not
To Effect Maryland'S
Governor
THE STATE IS VERY LAX

Most Unsishtly And Dangerous In
Town

Of all the slippery sidewalks in
town, there seems to be none worse
than that around the Executive Man.
sion-especially on the College ave.
nue. side. The writer came very
near falling down on it today, and a
tall Midshipman did quite so yester-
day. Nearly half the front walk of
st. Johns College was in the same
condition yesterday and possibly is
80 today. Are these conditions eth
er credit or good example?"
The above communication received
from an elderly gentleman who, had
he fallen, would possibly suffered
injuries serious enough to justify a
suit for damages against the Sow
ereign State of Maryland, is pub
lished gladly by The Capital.
Not only during the present fall
and lay of snow has it been on, but
following every snow or sleet
storm that visits Annapolis the ut
terly cheap and petty economy of
the States Chief Executive in de-
pending on the elements to wash
or melt the slippery or slushy mass
from the pavement surrounding the
Mansion is commented upon. Notifi-
cations from the city authorities seem
to have no effect, whatever, in stirring
the Governor to do his duty as a
good citizen.
City Engineer Little is authority
for the statement that, as directed
by the City Code, he has notified the
Governor personally of the law. Not
only was the usual form providing
that property owners or residents
shall clean the snow from their pave
ment within twenty-four hours after
snowfall, sent, but a personal let
ter explaining the situation was also
mailed to Governor Crothers by
Mr.. Little.
So far no notice has been paid to
these communications, and the State
in addition to running serious risk
of suits for damages, is placed in
the position of practically defying
the coordinate branch of govern
ment. The pavement is not cleaned,
and the government of the State of
Maryland, in effect, says to the gov
ernment of the City of Annapolis
What are you going to do about it?"
Much the same condition exists as
regards the pavement on st. Johns
College, the authorities of which
have also been notified to clean their
pavements. Private citizens and
business men of the town are COM
PEELED to clean their sidewalks of
snow and sleet, but the State and
the College practically defy the city
COVE rnment.
What will the city do about it,"

The Black Boss,

Why the black bass bites on one
day and refuses every bait the next;
why he takes belgramitss and only
helgramites on Monday, grassboppers
OH Tuesday aDd frogs ON Wednesday
why he bites only on dark days for a
fortnight and then shifts his biting
humor to days bright and breezy; why
you find him today on sandy bottom
aud tomorrow on mud aud the day
after on the ROCKS, are battling traits
of the bass that relate merely to his
sporting relations with The angler
But there are other mysteries that
puzzle the naturalist and bear on the
organic life of the fish.
Up In Maine are two bass rivers OF
far apart. liz one the fish run often to
four, even to five, pounds; in the other
rarely above pound and half. In
one Of the largest lakes of New Ham, p.
SHIRE the writer's score for a whole
season once ran up to 39S fish. Food
was evidently abundant, for the bass
were CHUNKY and the yiscarca thick
with fatty tissues. Yet the post NOR
TEN showed in tie stomach emily glu-
tinous, unacceptable white matter,
and the largest bass of the whole sea
son drew the scales at bat pound
and tbree-quarters What did those
bars live on, and why didn't they grow
bigger? Again, in the uplands of Con-
necticut are two large lakes some eight
miles apart. In the one bass are often
caught III winter ice fishing; in the
other lake almost never in winter,
though in it's open summer W tiers
bass fishing is the better. Remem ber-
ing that the bass care supposed to hi
bernate and in fairly deep waters,
would not that fact argue in the late
season darker outward hues and deep.
or bronzes? Yet the head OF a large
bass hatchery has observed a silvery
change Of the bass at the approach OF
winter waen his habit would imply
the exact reverse. Such are a few of the
anatomical epigmas Of the black bass
that make him and his paradoxes an
interesting study for that open mind.

The Bible as a Substitute for Bridge,

When women IN the whirl OF New
York society comes together for u
weekday study OF the Bible, 1t is of
more than passing interest. Mrs. Mar
tin w. Littleton felt that more
thorough knowledge of the Bible
would have more steadying influ-
ence in the exciting times which just
now exist in the feminine world, and
80 despite the cold water thrown upon
her suggestion, friends were invited to
her home to hear DR.. G. l. Sccseld,
secretary Of the OXFORD Revision So
ciety, make clear some points in re-
gard to better understanding of the
Scriptures. Enthusiastic was the re-
Spouse, and preparations are now I'M
der way for longer course of study
next winter. A meeting of this kind
seems to some of us to indicate even
better than the suffrage agitation that
women are really Interested ia trying
to solve the problems which are Pc
cularly theirs to solve. Respect for
women Will increase in proportion as
they concern themselves with serious
occupations, like the study of the
Bible or the proper training of chill
drcn, thus showing that all their in
terests are not com passed by bridge
whist, the theater, and receptions.

A state Disgrace.

ton In falling to accept the resigua-
ton Of Tax Commissioner Townsend
is a state disgrace. 1t is made more
poignant by the action of the grand
Jury in Kanawha county indictlhg
Councilman Cook and falling to in
diet the tax commissioner.
If this is not an instance OF place
and power making a distinction be-
tween those who are to be held ac-
countable for crime, and those who
are not. such one has certainly
never been heard of in West Virginia.
How there could be bride taker
without there also being bride giver
ne one car imagine. That Tex Com
m Missioner Townsend was the one who
engineered the entire transaction OF
purchasing Cooks house IN order that
he might be gotten to leave Charles
ton, to the end that the number OF
councilmen favoriag the granting OF
license would be in the majority, there
can be no gu +stion, and the evidence
10 most abundant.
That this tax commissioner, draw
ing one Of the largest salaries paid by
the state, and his office expanding
more Of the peoples money than any
other Office OF the state, with pubic
experience, and full realization of the
effect of his act, should entice young
mex perenced man like Cook into a
violation of the law, and the real gull
ty man because Of his place and pow
Ell should escape punishment while
the younger and more innocent, who
was nothing more than victim,
should be punished, can amount to
nothing less than public disgrace to
the state of West Virginia.
That the governor by all his public
professions standing on the side of
morality and right, and especially OPP
posed to the very influence which en-
ployed lax Commissioner Townsend
to bribe Cook, should hold in his
hands the resignation of that officer,
without accepting it, can nothing less
than astound every right thinking,
public spirited citizen of the state.
His action in not accepting,the tax
commission resignation becomes
doubly matter of public concern
when 1t IS known that he demanded
the resignation, and was ready to ao-
cept 1t, when he was summoned to
Washington and dined with Senator
Eikips, since which the acceptance
has been unhsard of by the public. 1t
would now seem to be the purpose to
indict the less offending of the two,
the bribe taker and the bride giver, in
order that public attention might be
directed in another course than to the
truly guilty. But the facts of this case
are more indelibly impre ,sed upon the
public mind than any other affair
which has occurred IN this state for
many years. They will not be forgot
Ten or misunderstood. There can no
occasion arise under the administra-
ton Of Governor Glasscock with bet
ter opportunity for showing that he
really wears no mans collar, and that
he may be depended upon to stand
for right and justice than is found n
the case of Tax Commissioner Town
