MAYORS BLACK EYE
STILL A-ST|NG|N'
His Honor's More or Less Dazed
Over Yesterdays Council
manic Session

Mayor John K. Royal was still more
or less dazed to-day over the incidents
of yesterdays meeting of the City
Council. He vainly imagined that he
was going to have some fun with the
three Republican members over a
slight difference of choice regarding
a police officer, but the thing proved
a boomerang. Mayor Royals black
eye will be some time healing.
When the name of ex-Sergeant Her.
man S. Kautz was submitted by Com
missioner Lynch. Mayor Royal
promptly moved to substitute the
name of ex-Sergeant Charles j. O'Don-
mel. Then Commissioner Taylor pro-
posed the name of John NJ. Benner
instead of O'Donnel. Things were
moving fast at this juncture and
Commissioner Gorgas, a Democrat,
and head of the finance department,
seconded Mayor Royals amendment,
Commissioner Bowman putting in a
second for Mr.. Taylor's substitute.
First came the vote on Mr.. Taylor's
amendment, which was defeated as
was also the Mayors amendment sub
shutting O'Donnel. Then followed
the explosion. Mayor Royal was sit
ting right over the mine when II went
up. He put the question on the con-
lTlldllOn OF hautZ ana as the roll was
called and Mr.. Gorgas voted in the af-
firmative, the Mayor INDUCED in some
facial contortions Indicating great sur
prise and CONSERVATION. He was
fiabbergasted and appealed to Com
missioner Gorgas in order to be GER
tain that his Democratic colleague
had not voted under a misapprehen-
sion. Mr.. Gorgas smiled benignly and
assured His Honor hat his vote in
the affirmative was all right.
Then Mayor Royal, still smarting
under the unmasking of his partisan
ship, suggested that there was yet a
vacancy on his force-that of dog
catcher-and that the Council having
seen fit to fill every other place might
name the collector of surplus CANNES
Commissioner Gorgas knows all
about psychology and he evidently
concluded that yesterday was his
psychological day for breaking a
deadlock and also a proper time fol
putting some elixir of life into the
nonpartisan feature of the city adj
ministration.
AS for the other end of it, some
practical politicians were specializing
to-day as to what would have hap
pended had Commissioner Taylor
dropped Benner and voted for O'Don-
mel on Mayor Royals amendment.

called Trade Commission will be given
sufficient power to make 1t a real
Trade Commission, such as our ma
tional platform promises and such as
the bills which we have introduced
would provide.
THE House of Representatives has
also passed a bill supplemental to the
Sherman antitrust act. Many of the
provisions of this bill deverse COM

which upright business men every

But the Clayton bill goes hopeless
~ wrong in hat it forbids specifically
any combination or agreement or in
interstate commerce between two or
more corporations, firms or even in
d~ividuals, which in any way lessons
or restricts the competition between
them. This is the hub of their whole
position. They propose that two
farmers selling milk across a State
line cannot cooperate and that two
men doing any business across a State
line cannot form a partnership or a
corporation. They insist that there
must be no big business power, con-
centrated power. or large enterprise
anywhere. and that u business must
go back to the period of not merely
1850, but 1850; to the cobbler's bench,
the girls mill and the blacksmith's
forge.

The baseball season opened at this
place last Saturday and a large crowd Of
people were present to witness the game.
St. Anthony's club accepted the invi-
tation to come to Thurmont. They are
good looking bunch and looked as if
they might take the game with them to
their mountain homes, but somehow look
counted for nought so far as taking the
game.
Eddie Creeger and George Root did the
pitching for the home team and the Wis
itors were not sufficiently limbered up to
connect with the ball. The visiting
pitchers were weak and with Thurmont
it was case of hit the ball and run.
At the close of the game it was found
that the score was p to in favor Of the
local club This is the second game won
by the locals and in both scored % runs.
From what we see and know Of the
makeup of the Thurmont club, some
good games will likely be seen on the
Thurmont grounds this summer. With
Ed. Creeger and Geo. Root as pitchers,
Stoner and Damuth as catchers, we have
two batteries as good and possibly above
the average amateur country clubs. We
have some good htters and all are good
in the field
If the public gives the boys the proper
encouragement and support, we will see
some good games.
On Tuesday the club played at Emmits
burg, and lost out in game full of in
terest. Emmitsburg made a run each in
the first and second inning, while the
home team failed to score until the sixth,
one run being scored. In the eighth an
other run was marked up and the score
was tied. Root, who in the seventh
struck out three in succession, went in
the air in the eighth and Emmitsburg
scored four runs. and gave them that
many points to the good. In the ninth
Thurmont scored one. The score:

TENS and too little God Almighty occa-
stoned comment in Washington today.
The statement was made at church
gathering here last night.
"There is this thing wrong in many of
the churches" said the Vice-President,
"that because church and State are sep
arate and the State makes the schools,
the church feels itself absolved from any
duty in the direction of education of
youth
"The State is permitted to m)ld child
rem from the age of 6 up through the
time when they are going through col
leges, where many of the professors are
agnostcs and atheists. But now the
church is awakening to the fact that
children should be reared in the way of
Christian faith from the nursery upward.
believe that there is in this country to-
day great spiritual awakening AMI the
church is beginning TO see that it has
turned over entirely too many of it's func-
tions to the State.
The Vice President also let it be known
that some day he would forget all of the
other political parties and join the Social
list. "But," he added, Il shall never do
this until it becomes a friend of the
church; never while it haunts on the
streets a red banner in the face of faith
in God and the marriage service. The
Socialism in which | believe, and to
which hope some day to adhere, is not
that which concerns itself with consider

Thousands March In
School Parade.

Trustees. Teachers, and Pupils
Take Part in Demonstration.
Exhibit at Armory Very In
teresting.
The people of Frederick city and many
from different parts of the county saw
more children last Friday in short time
than perhaps they ever saw in their life
time. 1t is estimated that 900 marched
in the parade held in connection with the
county school demonstration.
Teachers and pupils from the north
end of the county began arriving in Thur
mont before o'clock Friday morning to
go by trolley to Frederick, and by $50
nearly four hundred people had gathered
at the E. Main street station. After all
tickets had been collected the register in
the car leaving Thurmont first showed
that 1875 persons were aboard. The second
car carried about l45 and many remained
at the depot and had to wait until other
cars were sent to Thurmont. When these
last cars reached Frederick the parade
was about over
1t was thought by many that 1876 was
about the capacity of trolley car, but
this record was beaten by car coming
into Frederick from Middetown, the
register showing 2O6 to be on board.
The parade is one rather difficult to de-
scribe, but it was pretty, unique and in
spring. Almost anywhere along the
street one could hear words of praise for
the little tot as we'll as for the High
School cadets and girls of the various
High Schools.
The group of little tots dressed in white
and carrying purple Flag flowers; the
group dressed in white and carrying a
rod wrapped with green bunting and the
little boys wearing peaked hats with col
ored bands were especially attractive.
While greatly outnumbered by Freder-
ok, Middetown and Brunswick, the
rhurmont schools made a good showing,
md it is regretted all did not get in Fred
crick in time to take part in the parade.
The banner carried at the head Of the
rhurmont division was made of black
satin and lettered in gold and compared
well with the many in line. Hauvers
district schools also had a pretty banner,
State colors, yellow and black, being
used.
The display of work done by pupils of
all grades at the Armory was very pretty
and greatly admired by all who could get
chance to see it. The space was en-.
tirely too small for the display and hun
dreds ofpapers were placed in piles and
could not be seen. Every child in the
schools of the county was supposed to
have a paper and of course all expected
to see their work at the Armory. This
was impossible. the space being too limit
ed, and there were some disappointments.
The size of the parade was entirely too
large for the amount of music. Marching
grows monotonous when the music is out
of sight and hearing.

road, were raised to state of expecta-

members of the Maryland Good Roads
Commission; Chief Engineer Foster of

at which plans were discussed for the
building of a highway system that would
provide direct course from Getty sburg
to points south. The result of that day S
deliberations has been a careful canvass
of the resources of the Highway Depart
ment that will be available this year, and
the decision has been reached that it will
be impossible to take up this work this
year. The promise is held out, however,
that it will be done in 1915. Getty
