master at Wiprud, and is wei
qualified, we'll recommended and
will make an ideal candidate. Witt
reference to the candidacy of his
opponent, w. ]. Koenig, of Under.
wood, we think Mr.. Koenig SHOULD
learn to run his own business be-
fore he tries to run that of the
county. When we remember his
shipments of flour to people who
had no business standing Or re-
sponsibility in an effort to buck the
twin city flour interests, and the
thousands of dollars the county has
paid trying to round up his credit
ors through the United States and
Canada, we feel that the county
has done enough for Mr.. Koenig
ard that he ought to learn how to
conduct his own affairs to better adj
vantage before seeking to be coun-
ty treasurer.
We regret that a prominent can
didate for clerk of court from Dog
den. through a mistake in the mails,
got his petition in too late for the
office. He was we'll indorsed and
we are sorry he failed to get his
petition filed, and he will no doubt
be heard from in the future.
There are many good candidates
we have heard from, but the
trouble is that there are not enough
Offices to go around, and some of
the candidates will have to await
their chance in the future.
In former days, when we had a
convention with fifty or more dele
gates, we used to nominate a ticket
that would please all sections of the
county and be elected by a rousing
majority at the polls. We should
remember that all parts of the
county ought to be represented, and
that failure to do so will make
trouble. Wasburn must not try to
"hog" all of the offices. If we try
to do so we must look for trouble,
for we have heard a good many
voters say they would not vote for
a candidate from Washburn if we
fail to be fair and remember that
there are other sections of the
county that demand representation
at the county court house. We
should be fair, remember all inter-
ests and sections. and let some of
the candidates wait for their time
III the future, as we have pointed
out above. Then we shall have
no trouble, We shall have a repre-
sentative county ticket and its can
dldates will be elected without diff
1t is well for the voters of Wash
burn precinct to remember how
near we came to having a "bootleg"
county, growing out of dissatisfac-
ton in the representation of var
7ous parts of the county at the
county court house. A little COM
mon sense and fairness ON the part
of our voters will prevent the dan
ger of such a thing in the future.

OF Maine
TO Be BLOWN Up
Plan to Raise Vessel Be-
lieyed lmpracticable.
MIGHT REOPEN ARGUMENT

Another Reason for Change Of Pro-
aramme Is That the Discussion sof
the Real Cause Of the Explosion.
Would Be Renewed and Should 1t
Be Found to Be Internal Serious
Complications Would Result.
Washington, June ia change
has been made in the plan of the ad-
ministration for raising the Maine. 1t
has been determined to blow up the
hulk of the battleship which for
twelve years has been lying in the
harbor of Havana. d
The excessive cost of repairing the
vessel and the fear Of arousing dis
quieting questions about who sunk 1t
are responsible for the change Of plan.
May 9 congress passed a bill appro-
priating 500, 900 for raising the Maine
or removing the wreck. In the general
deficiency bill reported to the house
by Representative Tawney this law is
modified by a provision directing the
secretary of war to report to congress
at the next session "the best practical
method and the probable cost" Of car
' rying into effect the law of May 9.
This is regarded as a limitation on the
original act. )
The unofficial explanation at the
house of this change of programme Is
that it would be unwise to reopen the
agitation of whether the Maine was
sunk by an internal or explosion explo-
sion. Already there has been much
discussion of this subject, many prom
inent legislators having declared their
by an accident within the ship and not
from the outside, as the court of in
quiry found.
BY raising and restoring the vessel q
1t might become quite apparent that
the explosion vas wholly from the in
side, in which event some embarrass-
ing international complications might s.
arise.
Information Is Conflicting.
Chairman James A. Tawney of the
appropriation committee has been adj
vised that there are no bodies of sea-
men in the hulk. This is in conflict
with the information of the navy de-
partment, because the records show
=. that more than 100 bodies of members
Of the crew have not been recovered.
It has been assumed that they were
locked in the wreck of the vessel. An
other reason that prompted Chairman
Tawney to favor blowing up the hulk,
is the excessive cost of raising it. He
has had information from the war de-
partment that this would probably
cost 81, 900, 200.
/ In fact there is serious doubt wheth-
er it is possible as an engineering feat
to raise the vessel. The army engi-
neers state that to do this a cofferdam
fifty feet high must be built. The
Maine lies in thirty-ive feet of water,
with seventeen to twenty-five of mud.
It is said that a cofferdam fifty feet
high has never been built in an open
water like Havana harbor. Colonel
Edward Burr of the army engineers,
| has told Chairman Tawney that there
is no precedent for a feat of this sort
and it is an open question whether 1t
could be successfully done, working
under the disadvantage of a tropical
climate and a long distance away
from the base of sunnlies.

From the State Board of


ClarksbUrg, Sept 26.-The board Of
regents of the State University has
named Prof. Thomas E. Hodges as the
president of the state University. The
selection was made only after lengthy
deliberation and a member of the
board issued the following statement
concerning the action of the body;
In search for new president for
the State University the board of re-
gents considered a number OF men,
some OF them within the state and
some from without the state. Two or
three of them made strong impress
sion on the board but it reached the
final action in favor of Professor Hold
ges, the action being unanimous and
cordial The five points that most in
fluenced the board in favor of Profess
sor Hodges were:
"First-His great ability and adap-
tibility, coupled with his remarkable
energy and physical strength.
"Second-His successful manage
ment of affairs as examplified in his
previous work at the university, in his
private business and in his services
on the state board of control
''Third-The enthusiasm for him
among the alumni of the university
and the school men of the state and
their confidence in him led the board
to believe it would be = great help in
building up the university.
''Fourth-The fact that he is in
sympathy with the faculty the univer-
sity, and in close touch with the entire
state and its varied interests. He be-

BEAT HAGERSTOWN
Palace Team Scores 63 More Pins
Than MaryIanders in Lively
Duckpin Came.

One of the hottest and most inter
esting games Of duckpins seen in Mar
tinsburg for some time, was that play
ed between the Diamond Bowling Club
of Hagerstown, and the Palace Club,
Of this city, at the Palace Bowling AL
leys last night.
The Hagerstown team came over to
play return game with the locals, as
the Palace team played in tina. place
last Friday night, defeating the Mary
land team by 25 points. The team
from Hagerstown came over in large
automobile, and came with determi-
nation to win this game, and have re-
venge, and they started out as nf they
intended doing it, as the boxes at the
conclusion of the first game showed
they We're 8 pins to the good. But the
home team warmed up, and when the
game was over they had a good mar
gin, defeating the Marylanders a sec
ond time to the tune of GO pins.
Graichen fer the home team had the
highest number of pins, with Butler
of Hagerstown, just one behind him.
The former also had highest score,
with 1874 pins.
The game was a lively one, and was
warmly contested from start to finish.
The Hagerstown bowlers are nice
set of fellows, and it is hoped num-
Der of other games will be played be
tween them.
Martinsburg had a total of 1928
pins, Hagerstown 1866. The following
