at that late hour to clog his mind with
such mass of testimony, but come to
the Office for review of the law, with the
leaves turned down for his convenience,
bearing upon the issue. John S. Flem-
ing on a spree would promise anything,
but he did not go to the office. That
September day for the clash of blades of
the great contest in the arena of the law
was day of prostrating heat. Night
was closing in when the time for the
last speech upon the part of the defense
was at hand. A mighty jam of human
ity was in the building, and about its
doors and windows. Mr.. Fleming, tall,
haggard and soiled, stood up at the bar
in silence that was painful. In a
laundering way he tried to speak, num-
bling with inarticulate terms, the clear
tones of the fiute-lke music had depart
ed from him, and his fril nds hung their
heads, hoping he would take his seat
and end tension terrible to bear. In a
tWinkling, when no one expected, that
flame whichnature hadso deeply implant-
cd in him loomed out in its native etfulg-
ence and for two hours blazed over the
court room as was never seen there be-
fore, and may never appear again 1t is
related that gentleman, fearing the
lack of an oyer INDUCED stimulant dur
ing the week might cause a flag, placed
glass on the surface of the rail at the
speaker front. Flies gathered IN the
glass. When a change of posture re
vealed the glass, he caught it up and in
the intensity Of his excitement swallow
ed liquor, flies and all. In the perora-
ton he lowered above the pillows of the
sea, his masterful gifts had raised on
high, directing and centering the torrent
Of the storm on any quarter he wished
it to beat. When, in an impassioned
plea for acquital, in vivid, thrilling elo-
quence, he pictured the Portugal noble
man fleeing from a land of oppression to
land OF freedom, and here at the bar
Of American justice begging for the life
of his boy strong men through the court
house wept as frail girls at a gJave.
The trial was over, the boy was cleared.
But Time, Time, oh, Time! what changes
have fallen as fatal seeds frcm thy un-
sparing hand! OF all the actors upon
that dazzling stage not one is left to
walk its boards, RELLIM.

THE SPELLING MANIA.

There is an epidemic of spelling it is
among eastern editors again and they
are advocating a spelling class through
out the college course, because some of
the young graduates cannot spell cor
rectly all the words that have been given
them. Young men and young women
ought to be able to spell well, but it is
possible that eastern editors are a little
too eXacting in regard to this particular
branch. Like editors, the young folks
can probably spell the words belonging
to their vocabulary made up from their
studies and associations, but it ought
hardly to be expected that they would
spell words that have never come within
their range of work Nobody can spell
all the words in the language and it is
hardly worth while for any one to be
able to perform such feat. He would
not have time to learn anything else
and there would be little use for the
greater part Of his knowledge. People
wouldn't engage halls and hire him to
spell words for them when dictionaries
are so plentiful and cheap. He would
be like the man who learned to drink
dishwater and discovered later that he
had wasted time and energy that might
have been put to better use.
By all means let the young people
learn to spell; let them learn to spell
correctly all the words used in cOnnec-
ton with the subjects they study and
discuss and those used in general inter-
course, and for the other words they
need, let them do as the editor does who
is eternaly nagging and crticising
them. He cOnsults the dictionary Of
y1l ,l l.
unless it be the paste pot and scissors.
Lawyers should be able to spell a great
many words correctly including those
in the law dictionary, but it is doubtful
if the most eminent member Of the pro-
fession could stand long before a BON
bardment Of words from the medical
dictionary. ii lawyers want to use
words outside their every day vocabulary
they refer to their dictionaries and so il
is in other professions. The test that
is given the young people in spelling
when in school or just after leaving in
not always fair. If the test is made by
a lawyer, he is apt to give them legal
terms; the doctor medical terms, thu
minister Bible names; the editor words
that have funked him and that he has
run to the dictionary to look up every
time he wanted to use them because he
could not remember how to spell them
Why should young people know how t.
spell these words? Why not test then
with "simple words" those that are
used in every day communication among
the intellectual people? They ought t
be able to spell these words and if they
are able to do so, they are good spell
ers' and will soon learn to spell word.

THE FEE SYSTEM.

The system Of paying public officials
by fees has always been losing game
for the public 1t is especially so IN
this State The Baltimore American
SAYS: The fee system has always re
suited in d variety Of petty abuses; it
opens temptations to officials which
ought never to be opened. 1t often re-
suits in involving petty offenders in a
bill Of cost that Is unfair and unreason-
able.
Every official should receive a definite
salary for the very fact that man who
depends on commissions or fees for his
salary has a tendency to make him
grasping, and when officials are grasp
ing it is the poor that always suffer,
In Virginia the fee system Is IN full
flower, while in most of the states it is
already classed as a forgotten evil. The
public pay officials after all and if the
fee system is abolished there will. Of
necessity, be a great saving on the part
of the public. The fee system IS unfair
because it increases the costs Of lltiga-
ton, and thus adds to the burdens of
those least able to stand it. 1t breeds
corruption in office, because it appeals
to the avarice of the Office holder. 1t
is behind the times, and progressive
States have long ago discarded it. 1t
adds to the burdens of all taxpayers
and is too expensive. 1t viii go when
once the voters of the State fully realize
Its evils.

Liquor Selling at Friendsville.

To the Editor of The Republicans:
A few words Of comment on the gen
eral condition of affairs in our town
may not be out of place at this time,
if you will kindly afford room for them
in the next issue of your valuable paper.
Our town is the second in size and i'm
portance in Garrett county, and is the
business center Of a very large com
munity. Our people are generally in
dustrious and many of til m are
fairly prosper and, thank
God, a few at least, are genuinely re-
ligious. Our merchants and leading
business men are doing well and are kind
and courteous to everyone. But there
is one branch of business which has long
been carried on here that is d great
me..ace to the peace and morals Of our
town.
The liquor business has been the direct
cause OF untold anguish and dIshOnOr
and shame 1t is a foul fend whose
hands have been red with blood Of muir
der more than once in our neIghborhOod
in recent years; and has been the cause
of more than one suicide, and has
brought poverty and misery to many a
house
Numerous persons have in the last
ten years engaged in the liquor business
in Frendsville either with or without
license, and | want to hold them up to
the gaze of the public and ask, Where
are they today? And what is their con-
dition? And what has been their profit?
About all the leading ones of them have
either died, or have become ruined in
earthly circumstances. And today
those who have been smuggling the
stuff are counted only as the vagabonds
of society. and are recognized by all
good people as a curse to our town,
where they should be a blessing to
themselves and others.
The last one to make the venture in
defiance of the law, and ignoring the
sovereign voice of the voters of our
town has been keeping one of the vilest
dens of destruction since sometime
last fall that the town has ever known.
We understand that he is now under
custody of the law, and it would be well
! if he We're dealt with according to the
| Nervousness of his crime, so that others
of his class may take warning, and there
are others whose names we will not
mention now for shame's sake, who will
not work, but have long been making
their living in the same way.
Nav all such repent at once, and be
forgiven by high heaven, and take their
place among men who desire to make
an honest living.
If they do not speedily repent, may
the just judgment of God fall upon
them, that others may tremble and
quake at the very thought of such a
/ sin. This thing has now gone about far
enough. tits bringing about the destruc-
ton Of our boys and young men in a
wholesale way, and in the name of my
Divine Master lift my voice against it,
and | call upon the Christian people OF
our town to join together in one con
tinued effort to stamp this evil out.
God bless our dear boys and help them
also to JOIN heart and hand with US to its
utter destruction. Respectfully,
d. A. FRIEND.

THE Baltimore American came out
victorious in the suit instituted by a
Democratic Supervisor of Elections of
Somerset County. This official sued
the American for damages for publish
ing an alleged libelous article in which
the Supervisor was roundlY scored for
causing a trick ballot to be prepared
and used in Somerset county at the cleo
ton of 1909. The American plead JUS
tifcation and the jury decided the case
in the American favor, thus dealing
another blow to the tricky methods Of
the ring in throttling popular govern
ment in Maryland.

SOME of the West Virginia newspa-
per men are bouncing upon their newly
elected Senator c. w. Watson because
he did not remain in his place in the
Senate the other day and defeat the
ship susidy bill, his vote alone being
sufficient for the purpose. But as Sen
ator Watson WASH elected because he
knew how to vote but only because he
had money, he has a good excuse for his
absence at a critical time.
