obtaining some means of trade and in
their extremity were obliged to adopt
the Indian money of the period. This

A FEW MIDWINTER TALES.

What change there Is In the
weather stories which New England
has been sending out during this
1913 January when compared With the
January reports from the Northeast
corner during other years There are
no fearful tales Of towns being snow

frozen fish being dug out Of the lakes
and mill ponds with picks. or Of los-
down temperatures freezing the hens

of arctic conditions whatever. But

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JAN. 81, 1913
WILL THE REPUBLICANS And
BULL MOOSE GET TOGETHERl

Efforts have been made recently To
open negotiations for the purpose of
getting these warning factions of the
old Republican party together. Mr..
Munsey, proprietor of the Baltimore
News, and who is a prominent mem
Der of the Progressive, or Bull Moose
party, wrote and published in his
paper an extended article on this sub
ject earnestly urging the two factions
to come upon terms of agreement and
get together.
His article does not seem 10 have
made much impression, even upon his
own faction.
Prominent men in both factions are
opposed to any concessions. and It
looks as II getting together" in the
near future is impossible. The feel
ing is 30 intense each party charging
the other with bad faith and even
fraud, that 1t looks to an outsider As
If generation or two would have 10
pass away before this hot blood VII
be sufficiently cooled TO make recon
clliation possible.
Meanwhile the Democratic fold Is
open to receive these homeless wan
derers, and we are sure that If they
come in and share their lot With u,
they will find the surroundings %
agreeable that they will not want 10
go back to their old and less favor
able associates.

FAILURE TO REPORT CONTAG-
TOUS DISEASES.


The failure of Frederick County
doctor to report case of diphtheria
thereby disobeying one of the most
aalutary and important laws on our
statute books-is only another In
stance of the too frequent disregard
Of wise precaution on the part OF
many rural physicians.
No men are more familiar with the
serious consequences that may fol-
low from their allowing patients with
contagious diseases or the inmates of
a house where there is a contagious
case to go about in public--to school,
TO church, to business, than the men
who follow the noble profession.
VII, then, in the name of the very
knowledge which they possess, are
these doctors willing to endanger the
health Of an entire community by
their failure to report and have
auarantined every contagious case
the attend?
II would seem that as laymen, as
citizens. and much more as profess
sional men their desire would be to
take every precaution possible to
prevent the spread OF all ailments that
are infectious.
But whether they have the inelina-
ton or not, the law Is very plain. and
any doctor who fails to report these
cases and who does not cooperate
With the health authorities as the Inv
demands. Is eulpable to the last ex-
tent.-Emmltsbnrg Chronicle.

LEGISLATIVE ECONOMY.

The question of greater economy IN
Legislative expenses has come ~ e.
cry year just before the Legislature
conYenes. Something has been done
to cut this down but this amounts 70
very little. II Is generally believed
that the expenses could be cut down
to almost half II not quite of the pres
ent sum. This would mean a saving Of
over 100000 to the taxpayers of the
State. Whether this much can be
saved or not, 1t is certain that a con
siderable sum is thrown away each
year Since the starting of this use
less expenditure is In our primaries
and elections, where men are promls-
ed directly or indirectly a position at
Annapolis, the agitation for economy
should start before the ticket Is nomI-
mated or elected.
The people who are sent to An
napolls from this county this year
should be men who will not stand for
this form of graft-for graft Is what
1t is Nothing more or less. Whether
used to bolster up party or TO help
some private individual to reward his
workers. In another part of this
weeks issue we give summary Of
some OF the expenses of last session.
We advise our readers to study 1t and
to think what it means to spend near
ly two hundred thousand dollars for

When Presldent-elect Woodrow
Wilson Is inaugurated in March his
daughter. Miss Eleanor Wilson. will
wear dress made from silk manu-
featured In Norfolk, Va.
A silk dress was offered to Miss
Wilson in November when her father
was elected President, and she was
asked TO designate the shade she de
sired. She chose the outside petal of
an American Beauty rose and the
dress Is now being made In New
York.
It will cost $3.50 and will be de-
llYered early in February. The dress
will be placed ON exhibition in a
department store in Norfolk before IL
Is sent to Miss Wilson. The COM
pany has decided to name the shade
Of silk melrose in honor of Miss
Wilson.
Miss Wilson is said to have accepted
the dress from the Norfolk concern
because she wanted to pay a eompli-
ment to her fathers native State.
