w. B. Zimmerman of Wall Lake can
not come back to his home this win

try. Last September he was stricken
with infantile paralysis, and as re-
suit his right leg is crippled. He
wants to come back to Iowa, but as he
is no longer citizen OF the country.

case to Surgeon General Wayman of

zone of the gratifying things Of
modern politics has been the RAPID
growth and the certain establishment
of the plan which. we propose for the
revision Of tariff duties The republ1-
can party now recognizes. and 1T VIII
never again be disputed, that In order
to do Justice, congress must kno"
what It costs to produce commodities
at home and across the sea. 1t reeog-
nizes that the only practical way IN
which to acquire the knowledge IS
through the work of an intelligent. In

this investigation to its last detail.
"When we again enter upon rear
raneement of the tariff we shall be
given such information as Will enaole
us to guard the interests of the con-
sumer, as well as the producer: TO
protect the rights of labor as well as
the privileges Of capital. Every loyal
tprotectionist must applaud this pro-
gram to which the republican party is
now unalterably pledged. The repub-
licans have also with absolute una
nimity determined that hereafter the
tariff shall be revised one schedule at
a time-a reform that will accomplish
two righteous things; first. business
as a whole will not be disturbed as IT
is when the duty on every commodity
known to commerce is under debate;
and, second it will make 1t more GER

of congress to vote for thing he
knew to be wrong in order to secure
what he believed to be right.

asking the voters Of the United States
for support for it's candidates under
the promise that it would revise the

MULTIPLICITY OF THINGS.

If a man goes into business, does he
assume the duties of head clerk, book
keeper, cash boy, collector and janitor?
And if he could do so-whch he cannot
and would not even consider-would he
look his best, act most agreeable, keep a
perpetual smile and have his place Of bus
mess spotless? Let us look at woman.
She enters Observation-Disclosures she
assume duties of head housekeeper, cook.
seamstress laundress, nurs-, tutor and
outside man! And when she does-for
she usually does-can she keep her house
clean, her temper serene buttons sewed
on remove all thoughts of care from her
husband $ heart, keep her prettiest clothes
on and scented with violet and lavender,
her sweetest smile on and her mouth
puckered up for kiss-for they only
come when least expected, for when we
yearn for them we usually keep on yearn-
ing? Mo- of course she can't; could the
angels themselves? She can't run all the

Saving Their Own Skins.

81 was sacrificed so that the big men
might save their own skinslp exclaimed
Oliver Spitzer the convicted Dock SUI
perintendent Of the Sugar Trust. as he
was on the point of starting for the At
lanta Penitentiary.
The record in the Sugar Trust weigh
ing frauds is as plain as day. Splitter,
the Dock Superintendent, has been SEN
fenced to serve two years in prison.
Four SIS a-week Government sugar
checking clerks have been sent TO Black
wells Island for a year each. Bender
nagel. the Williamsburg cashier, is
awaiting a retrial. Heike, the trust sec
retary, is under Indictment. The Sugar
Trust has made restitution to the gov
ernment of 100000 Of stolen duties.
But not one Of the really big men,
of the Sugar Trust has been brought to
the bar Of justice, let alone convicted.
Whether they have sacrificed Splitter OF
not, they have managed thus far to

w. M. R. R. Co. for Low Grade
Line.

In regard to the projected extension OF
the W. NJ. R. r. from Cumberland to
New Haven, Pa. to connect with the
Plttsburg & Lake Erie, a Vanderbilt line.
The Baltimore Snn in recent issue saws:
Another matter which Mr.. Barlow left
behind when he went to San Francisco
10 join the Southern Pacific engineering
force is the low-grade route he outlined
Tor the Western Maryland near Baltimore
He appreciated the fact that heavy trains
could not be moved promptly over the
Blue Ridge in reaching Hagerstown and
Williamsport. This, it is said, would be
a serious handicap for trunk line system
IN opposition to wide-awake rivals.
He therefore mapped out and sur
veyed a low-grade route for the Western
Maryland which is to become part of
the present Western connection This is
to start at or near Westminster. 1t COW
ers the practically level country from
there to Willlamsport. where it will Join
the Western Maryland again on grade.
This route has been fully covered.
The maps of its layout are in the hands
of the Western Maryland officials here.
Its construction will not be expensive,
and the mountain climbing will be
avoided. The building of this road is to
be part of the new plan.
This, with the P L. and F. connec-
tion, will give the Western Maryland
prestige not heretofore enjoyed 1t is be-
lieved that it will add importance to Balti-
more as close exporting and importing
center to the West. This applies both to
coal and grain"
The low-grade line referred to by the
SIN is probably the line which was sur
veyed across Frederick county in the fall
OF 1905 by corps of surveyors under Mr..
q. w. Forrey This corps laid out a
one-per-cent-grade from Williamport to a
point near Westminster. They had head
quarters in Middletown for three weeks
and secured grade that was said at that
time to be far better than was expected
by the railroad officials One report At
the time said that Engineer Forrev had
secured such fine line that The company
sent him back to see if he had not made
a mistake
The survey came through Fox's Cap
South Mountain, via tunnel lust north
OF the county road and crossed the ma
tional pike near Bolivar. From here the
survey went some distance north, crossed
Catoctin creek at John Leatherman's on
a bridge over the Little Catoctin creek at
Keller's mill and reaching Middletown,
crossed West Main street to the Tracey
field, crossed the Jefferson road near the
colored school house, and from there
direct to Catoctin Mountain and through
a tunnel under 'Jigger Hill" The line
through the valley, from mountain to
mountain, measured eactly 6H miles, or
only half a mile longer than by pike.
