These are times in which party
lines are being largely eliminated in
that different schools Of thought are
being created with the two great
political parties, leaders are being ar
rayed against leaders and inferno
cine strife and contention prevail. 1t is
an alignment in which predatory priv
ilege is warning with the interests of
the people Decisions OF courts, OF
quasi-judicial tribunals, rulings OF
commissions, acts Of congress and
the various state legislatures are
having an anomalous result. The
people are discontented, business is
stagnant, results are in doubt, peo-
pie are dubious. There are constant
ly arising new conditions, and rem
edies must be created to meet these
changing conditions.
In order TO see just what the peo-
pie should do for their own good,
the ArdmoreIte opens the following
contest:

COUNT OF STATEMENTS Is
SUED-'CARRY STATE OR QUIT

Hon. Cecil A. Lyon of Sherman,
state chairman OF the republican eN-
ecutive committee, arrived in Dallas
yesterday afternoon from a trip in
parts of South Texas. He was wroth
about certain statements from Man
ager Mckinley of the Taft campaign

Texan was criticised

BIG FINE
BUT DISTRICT ATTORNEY

TLING THAT WAY

Chicago. Ill.,, Nov lS.-Jack John
son pleaded for mercy today before
District Attorney Wilkerson in re-
gard TO the criminal charges pending
against him.
The pugilist. indicted under the
Mann act, said that he would plead
guilty to the indictments and pay a
large fine. 1t was reported that the
negro champion was informed by the
government official that cash did not
count in the crimes of which the
United States government accuses
him and he will have to so to trial
Inc found guilty the fighter will have
to serve a term in the penltentiary.
The negro pugilist is said to have
admitted that he feared to go to the
penitentiary and declared, when in.
formed that such would be the pen
atty in the event of conviction. My
God, | don't like that
Johnson called on Mr.. Wilkerson
against the wishes of his counsel, 1t
was said He believed, however, that
personal appeal to the official
would result in a compromise where
by plea of guilty could be entered
and a fine assessed against him.
Johnson assured ,ne district at
torney after he found that compro-
mise effort was futile, that he would
stav hero and face the music
81 haven't done anything awful
the pugilist is reported to have said.
Il am prosecuted on such charges
as have been made against me, there
are thousands OF others who could

Install New ReriSterS.

The Frederick and the Hagerstown
Railroads have installed new registers
in all their cars on the suburban lines.
These registers are intended for use on
suburban lines, as one ringing of the
register suffices for fare of any amount,
and the five cent ringings are not need
ed Some idea of the labor entailed in
five cent fare ringing may be gained,
when it is stated that Conductor Esworthy
had 155 persons on his car to Thurmont
one evening last week, and over 700
ringings were Necessary. He rang all
these fares at one time, or rather had
relays of men ringing them, so great
was the work.
With the new registers an iron rod
with hand holds run through the cars
and there are dials in each compartment.
The conductor with the hand-hold moves
a hand to fixed figure or figures on the
dial and pulls cord The whole works
much on the order of a cash register.
This register records 10, rs or 60 cents
as the case may be. There is no need of
ringing at each five cent section of the
road as has been done heretofore. The
registers are great improvement over
the old ones.

A Question For Voters To
Decide.
Measure Passed With Referen-
dunn by Legislature at Request
of Commissioners.

utlnl w Legislature dC lNO4'oo'
of Commissioners.
Many Frederick county voters are not
aware that on next Tuesday, election
day, they will be called upon to decide
whether they desire the County Commits
sioners of Frederick county to issue $75,-
GOO worth of bonds for building new roads
in Frederick county. The space for vot-
ing upon the bond issue is in the last
column of the ballot and there person
may designate whether he is for or
against the issuing of the bonds.
The County Commissioners had the bill
prepared and introduced in the legisla-
ture at the request of number OF coun-
ty people, who desired an amount OF
money for roads about equal in amount
to the money secured by the last bond
issue for the Improvement OF schools IN
Frederick city and county.
At the office of the Board of County
Commissioners it is stated that the idea
of the county commissioners is to have
fund with which to build new roads.
The plan is to put this fund aside, and
whenever a section or number OF farm
ers desire road in the county piked, to
do so upon the patrons of the road agree
ing to bear certain percentage of the
cost. A number of counties are now u.s.
ing this system in constructing stone
roads, and the result has been most sat
isfactory. The plan is to have farmers
subscribe for about Is per cent of the
cost of constructing road. This sum
the farmers usually pay by hauling stone
upon the road, the regular charge being
made for the stone. plus the cost of the
team for work Farmers most every
where are willing to do this, and do the
work at time of the year when ia rm
work is not pressing. The cost of pre-
pairing road by this means is from
50, 900 to 81, 500 per mile. The Frederick
County Commissioners have received a
number of requests from users of roads
to pike them, the petitioners agreeing to
bear a considerable portion of the cost.
Because of the fact there were no funds
available for such purposes the commits
sioners have always been compelled to
refuse such requests.
The law authorizes the County Commits
soners to issue the $4,000 worth OF
bonds in denominations of $500 each, and
they are to bear interest at four and one
half per cent per annum. The law does
not state the terms for which the bonds
are to run, but states a sinking fund
must be provided in order to redeem the
bonds at or before maturity.

Engine Shed Wrecked.

During the heavy wind which prevail
ed here last Thursday, the large shed in
course of construction at the Frederick
Railroad yards at this place was blown
down. The building was high, long and
narrow, and was sheeted with metal on
all sides. The frame rested on concrete
piers and was fastened thereto with iron
anchor rods The wind struck the face
of the building with such force that the
concrete piers were broken off and car
ried with the building when it went over.
The wrecked building has been cleared
away and likely another will be erected.
