Awakening At Last.

Elsewhere we reprint an editorial
from the Daily Nems of Frederick
which, with 40 uncertain tones, ar
raign both the B. & o. and Pennsy
Railroads at Frederick.
They are charged with being arro-
CANT, abounding in promises, but
lacking fulfillment in so far as giving
Frederick proper facilities for hauling
freight, etc.
1t has been rather surprising to us
that the newspapers of Frederick,
failed so utterly to arraign these two
roads before this. The earth" had
been divided by these two roads at
Frederick and no one else dared to
question their right to it.
The Frederick Railroad has come
on to the scene, and by it's activity
and energy has brought about con-
dition " hich is proving very benc-
fetal to the business and commercial
interests of Frederick. Merchants
can now get nearly all their ship
mcnts over the Frederick Railroad
and its connections, and the editorial
referred to calls upon the people to
stand by this local enterprise by Civ
ing their Business tn this local road.
They should do it as the Frederick
Railroad merits every dollar that can
be thrown in it's way. 1t has done
more for Frederick in the way of i'm
proyements in the short time of it's
existence than the B. & o. and the
Pennsy has done during the whole OF
their joint existence.

LEXINGTON.

One-hundred and thirty-six years
ago this month the battle of Lexing-
ton was fought.
As battle are counted nowadays it
was little.more than Il skirmish, but
insignificant as it was it marked the
beginning of the first of the three
striking epochs in American history.
If there had been no Lexington there
would have been no Su inter- nor any
empire building colonial policy such
as the exigencics of the Spanish war
imposed upon US. How our destiny
would have shaped itself but for the
spirited act of those 7S simple coun-
try folks. who warned of the approach
of the red coats by Paul Revere,
assembled on the village common at
Lexington to greet them with powder
and shot, no man knows and it would
be idle to speculate. That we would
never have attained to our present
industrial cminence few will probably
deny.
Thrown by the fortunes of war
upon our own resources, in country
endowed with the richest natural
gifts of which any domain ON earth
was ever possessed. we have moved
forward so fast that our progress
stagg RS the imagination of the old
world, which marvcls at our stupen-
duus vitality and capa 'ity for as
similation. While every section of
the republic has shared in the fruits
of its stirring development, since the
challenge of that little band of pat
riots to the Bristish soldirry on Lex
ington's green, sounded the call to
arms throughout the restless colonies,
New England as the cradle of
American liberty has been conspic-
uously favored. 70 those who, are
forever dcclaiming that things are
going to the dogs the figures con-
corning its marvellous Development
are illuminating. In the 1876 years
since the revolution began New En-
glands population has grown from
$4,000 to 6,652,6S2 in 1910
growth of 900 per cent. Rejecting
the widespread prosperity of its
people, its banks have 3,347 ,753

locomotive in the world, 1t is an articu-
lated compound engine and it is for use
in hauling freight trains over the Arizona

1t will be operated tender foremost, as
the great length of the boiler obstructs
the view of the engineer. Oil will be

WAs,IINcToN u C. April ~

WASHINGTON, d. c., April "a.
Other cities like San Francisco
and New Orleans may contend for
the prize of an international exposi-
ton lasting from May to November,
Int the capital of the United States
is in a perpetual state of exposition
and growing of more interesting
year after year. As transportation
facilities improve, as population
grows, as wealth increases, Washing
ton becomes more attractive and
more the Mecca of hundreds of thous-
ands OF pilgrims. During the past
week the Daughters of the American
Revolution were in session at their
beautiful temple facing the plaza
south of the White House. The
President addressed then in lam
guage in which fattery and irony
wired with each other, bat so deity
vriled that it is doubtful if the dear
ladies knew all he was thinking. 1t
is as good as comic opera to see this
convention in full session, the stage
banked with flowers and flowers be-
decking the monstr Gus lats of two
thousands ladies in the audience,
beautiful maiden pages in beautiful
gowns moving about on the stage and
through the halls, everything sugges-
tive of elegance, wealth and vanity.
The roll call resurrects the names of
Mrs. Martha Washington, Mrs. Lucy
jefferson, Abigail Warren, Lucrctia
Hamilton and many other names that
carry one back to that golden period
of our history when, since, the his
torical school books do not say other
wise, everybody was patriotic, hon
est and good. Well, long live illusion
and down with lobble skirts!
Another convention, the American
Academy of Sciences, is in session in
the new National Museum. A lee
ture on the ocean was delivered by
Sir John~Mairray of Glasgow, Scot
land last night in which he. told
some 'Jf' f'Vhr results Of the Challenger
expedition in 1889 of which ne was

TO OPPOSE WAGNER'S RELEASE
Frederick Citizens Fear He Would Re-
sume Litigous Career.
Frederick. Md, April 23.-Protests
from this county have been made to the
Supreme Court of the District of Colum-
bia, Washington, against the release of
Harrison Wagner, called "the eternal
litigant, who is seeking to free himself
from the Government Hospital for the
Insane. When he is brought before the
court on writ of habeas corpus April
27 he will be faced by some of those
from this county whom he has caused
trouble during his litigous career.
The writ recites that Wagner is held
without authority of law at the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane and against
his will. 1t further states that Wagner
was convicted of perjury in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia May,
1907, and that on June 7, 1907, he was
found to be insane by jury; that he was
then committed to the Hospital for the
Insane and later discharged; that after
ward he was arraigned in court and re-
leased on recognizance of $l00, and that
in March, 1909, he was arrested on a
search warrant and again sent to the
asylum under the original commitment.
With the petition is filed the affidavit
of DR.. Charles M. Emmons, an alienist,
who sets forth that while Wagner ap-
peared to have exaggerated and delusive
ideas upon the subject of litigation he is
not dangerous, but is a "mild-mannered,
inoffensive gentleman, 70 years old and
in poor health" 1t is feared in this
county that if he is released he will re-
sumo his judgment litigation. He fraud
ulently obtained judgments against near
ly every prominent citizen in the county,
including the late Chief Judge McSherry,
Col. l.. V. Baughman and others. Sun.

CROSSINGS TO
Be MADE SAFE
Public Services Commission
0Tdsrs Gatss Put Up.

Following closely on the Public
Service Commission ordering the
Staten Island Rapid Transit Railroad
Company to place a fagman day and
night at Crooke's crossing, Great
Kills, and at the Amboy avenue
crossing at Huguenot, that body has
now ordered the railroad company to
install safety gates at several cross
ings on the north shore division of
the road. The crossings are all sit
uated in thickly populated sections
and accidents have been of frequent
occurrence.
These crossings have been de-
scribed as especially dangerous, but
the company is m%anifesting a COM
mendable spirit of cooperation to
lessen the danger and will immedi-
ately take the necessary steps to
comply with the order. Some time
ago bids on the Huguenot and Great
Kills crossing were adyestired but
as yet no work has been started,
which made the necessity of placing
the fagmen at those points. There
are e~ighty-five public grade crossings
in all on the line of the steam roads
in the borough, forty-two on the
Rapid Transit division and forty
three on the Staten Island Railway
branch, besides thirty-four on pri-
vate property. These will be provid-
ed with safety devices to prevent
accidents which will be installed as
soon as possible.

WOOL BILL TO
PASS SENATE
La Toilette Measure to be
Supported by Coalition.

Washington, July 1.-THE bill by
Senator La Toilette to revise the wool
schedule of the Payne-Aldrich act will
pass the senate. A union of progress
stve and Democratic votes will assure
its passage, it Is said. The plan is to
make the bill a substitute for the
measure passed by the house and now
on the senate calendar. The presi-
dent is expected to veto the bill.
The La Toilette faction Of the pro-
gressive Republicans predict that the
wool bill will be passed and sent to
the president after acceptance by the
house. They declare a sufficient nun
Der Of votes is in sight to accomplish
this end.
The anti-La Toilette faction of pro
gTessives is positive the coalition with
the Democrats will come to naught.
They say there will not be a wool bill
passed. They assert that an under
standing exists between President Taft
and the stand pat Republicans and
Democrats to tho OBJECT that no shall
not be embarrassed with any bill pro-
viding for general REVISION of the tar
if.
1t said the recent junket on the May
flower was originated for the purpose
of developing this understanding. Tn
der the agreement, 1t is said, the stand
pat Republicans are assured there will
be no tariff bills passed, In return for
which they permit reciprocity to be-
come effective and thus temporarily
save the remainder of the protective
system. The Democrats are satisfied
with their success during the present
session and believe enough political
capital has been made without com
polling the president to veto a tariff
bill. For that reason they will stand
by the house measures and not accept
any compromises offered by the pro-
gressives.
The La Toilette faction ridicules this
idea.
While these pronounced differences
exist between the rival progressive
camps notice has been served on the
regular Republicans by leaders Of the
progressive Democrats that an entire
flock of tariff bills will come over from
the house and be passed in the senate
by the coalition of Democrats and
progresstves.
1t is not regarded as possible that
the farmers free list bill can be pass
ed. The differences existing between
the Democrats and progressives are
so many and various that they cannot
be adjusted and a compromise ar
ranged. The regular Republicans be
lieve the same will prove true of the
steel, sugar, cotton, chemical and
other bills If passed by the house.

GOLFER is HIT
BY LIGHTNING
Navy Solicitor Killed While
en- the Links.

Washington, July 17.-While playing
golf on an open stretch of the Chevy
Chase links Tristan B. johnson, for
mer Republican alderman of the
Twenty-ffth district of New York city
and recently selected solicitor for the
navy department, was struck dead by
a bolt Of lightning. He was about
eighty yards from the nearest tree.
The bolt came at the beginning of a
moderate electrical storm. Though the
clouds had been darkening for some
time, no rains had fallen, and the
many players on the links had not
even thought Of running to cover.
Johnson had "sliced" his ball off the
course and was walking toward 1t,
with his midiron over his shoulder.
Without warning came the flash and
simultaneously a 'deafening clap of
thunder.
When Johnson was picked up q few
seconds later 1t was found that the
mott had made a hole In his left Shout
der, small and almost as clearly cut as
If 1t had been bored by a sharp nosed
bullet.
Mr.. johnson graduated from Column
bia and later from the New York Law
school. He had been in active prac-
tice for eight years. His father, j.
Augustus Johnson, was in the consular
and diplomatic service. He served two
terms as an alderman and was re-
elected for a third term in 1909. Last
March he resigned to take the post In
Washington.
