GOVERNOR CROTHERS FOR GRO.
THEIRS.

Governor Crothers had another chance
to show his sincerity and devotion to
the puplic welfare and failed to make
good. His friends claimed that his
move in placing DR.. Herring on the
Utilities Commission and appointing
Clagett Comptroller, was for the pur-
pose of getting control of the Board of
Public Works to enable him to make
some changes in the interest of better
service. For instance, Col. Schley, the
State Tax Commissioner, gives little
attention to that office, seldom even
taking the trouble to go to Annapolis.
Moreover, he is charged by responsible
people with favoring some of the larg-
est corporations by assessing them for
less than they ought to be. The Gov
ernor had repeatedly said that all
officials should give personal attention
to their work. Here was a chance to
make good his professions. Did he do
it? Oh, no! Col. Schley was seen and
after promising to JON the Crothers
machine was unanimously re-appolnted!
This case was widely discussed and it
affords a fine example of what can be
expected from Governor Crothers when
he must choose between serving him
self or serving the people.

APPLYING THE MEASURE.

If the real measure of craftsmanship
is to be taken by applying the rule Of
thumb to small appropriations gained
for the particular constituency of a
representative. then we are falling far
behind the ideals of the founders of the
republic. Every now and then man
announces his candidacy to succeed
himself in legislative Office and at once
the question arises: What is this
mans record?
Too often, through what must be
political short-sIghtedness, the discus
sion resolves itself into one of what
particular material benefits has this
member of a law-making body been
able to obtain for his immediate To-
cahty, and the broad purpose of his
choice as the representative of the
whole people of state or nation is lost
to view. Obviously it is part of the
duty of a congressman or Of state
legislator to look out for the interests
of his constituents. He would be a
pretty poor sort of representative if
he did not give serious regard to that.
But his efficiency as a lawmaker is in
no wise to be determined by the net re-
suit of appropriations he has been able
to force or cajole for the folks back
home.
In Congress he must, to deserve be-
ing returned, have taken broad view
of questions of national importance,
have been vigorous in espousing the
causes of political and economic right
eousness. How he stood, for example,
on the tariff, on the railroad bill; how
he regards the great principle of ship
subsidies; what his attitude was toward
the postal savings banks measure
these comprise the sort of questions by
which he should properly be judged.
That ne used his influence to have a
good man named for postmaster of
Squash Corners ought to 90 without
saying.
There is a danger that in insisting
too much upon the money-pulling power
of a representative for local projects
we forget the real purpose for which he
is elected. Under our organic law he
is chosen by geographical unit, not SC
much to represent that unit to its own
ends as to be it's voice in the broad
gagged government of the whole. 1t

Terra Alta Still Without a 1ayor

The city fathers met in regular ses-
sion Thursday night, at the council
chamber. and as Terra Alta is now
without mayor, Recorder Wotring
was in the chair. The first business
taken up was motion by Councilman
John Lamb to appoint a mayor to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of DR.. S. NJ. Scott on the previous
Thursday, and after an hours discus
sion of who would make a good mayor
and who would not, committee of
three, consisting of Councilmen John
Lamb and Z. F. Hardesty and Recorder
d. l.. Wotring, was appointed to call
upon Mr.. John c. Mayer and ask him
to become mayor of the municipality.
Mr. Mayer being familiar with the ex-
change of compliments between the
council and eX-Mavor Scott, declined to
accept the highest Office that the little
mountain city of Terra Alta has to
offer, and the committee returned to
the council chamber to report that be-
ing unable to find man who would sit
with them as mayor they were now in
favor of a government by commission,
or any other form of municipal admin
istration that would guarantee them
peace in the council, and they decided
to table the matter till next meeting
night and await the suggestions of the
people.

THURSDAY. JUNE I6. 1910.

IT is clear that MIR. Roosevelt was
hailed as the champion of the masses
against the classes, of the poor against
the rich. To thousands and tens of
thousands in Europe this American
typifies what they vaguely call the
social revolution. In him they think
they hear the voice of the struggling
common man uttering protests and
warnings to the wealthy. That is the
final secret of the great stir of popular
admiration for Roosevelt in Europe.
He looks there a large-limbed Goth
ready to strike down every form of
privilege.

W0RKMAN DAzED
 BY BLOW OF BOARD
Peculiar Mishap to Fred Arbucixle
 in Local Factory

Jack Johnson never dealt harder blow to any of his adversaries in the fstic arena than that dealt this morn ing to Fred Arbuckle, an employe of the Blue Ribbon Horse & Carriage e.. when a heavy board shot from a turning machine and hit him on the left side of the neck.
 Arbuck1e and Frank Holman were working side by side when the latter lost control of the board he was turn ing out for carriage building. The wood shot out like an arrow and caught Arbuckle over the jugular vein. He collapsed.
 When Dr. Krause reached the fac tory in the ambulance, he found Ar buckle recovering consciousness. and fellow employees told the surgeon his services were not needed. that they would take the man home. The am bulance had been back at the enier- gency but a few moments before stylish turn out from Nthe Blue Rib bon stable drove up with the victim still stunned and dazed, for further observation by the emergency doctor.

SPENT HUSBANDS
 EARNINGS BUYING CANDY FOR f'KIDS"
Kind Hearted.WOm is Believed
 to be Mentally Unbalanced

Children living in the vicinity of the home of Mrs. George Maco 112 Reilly street were grief stricken to- day when they learned that MT. Maco had applied to the charities depart ment to have his wife placed under restraint.
 Mrs. Nfaco has made a practice for more than a year of buying large bags of cookies and cakes and distri- outing them to the children of the neighborhood. Her husband, repeat edIy questioned her as to what had become of his earnings and she could not satisfy him with her accounting.
 Learning only recently that his wife was used to taking his hard earned cash to the neighoring groceries and candy stores to purchase sweets for the neighborhood, he went back home this morning and found her laden with bags of cakes and cookies she was about to scatter among the school children.
 Maco says his wife has been eccen- tric for a long time, preferring to sleep upon the damp earth of the cel- lar of their home to her con1fortabl bed. She will likely be committed to the State Hospital for Insane.

600 MORE MAXIM e SILENCERS ORDERED
 BY THE GOVERNMENT.

Hartford. Sept. 2.-The United States Government has ordered 500 more Maxim si1encers in addition to 800 ordered last May. The new order has just been received by Hiram Percy Maxim, the inventor. The silencers go on the United States army rifle the Springfield armand enough have been ordered to send one silencer to each company in the service. Besides furnishing each company with one si- 1encer rifle the Ordnance Department holds itself ready to furnish silencers to the National Guard in the different States as desired.
 It is said that the tests recently. made show greater military possibil- itie for the silencer than were admit ted at first. The device, although it does not make a gun '-noiseIess,'' as many suppose, has military advan- tages which are now admitted. For one thing, a body of 'chronic finch ers.'' so-ca11ed, by using the silencer, qualified as marksmen.
