The Municipal Journal of the CITY
of Baltimore, which is the official organ
of the municipality, contains very
handsome frontispiece on its last issue
representing the cover design of Mayor
Preston s last book on Pan-America.
OF course the object of this publication
is to set forth the virtues of Baltimore
manufacturing and other business enter
prises to the people of Southern and Cen
trail Amnrica, and to obtain of course as
much business from that section of this
continent as possible. 1t seems that
whilst there has been some business OBJ
tanned there through our con uls and
other representatives., that the greater
portion of trade has been with the great
countries of Europe which are now en-
gagged in war. Business acumen should
inspire the United States, its cities, or
any part thereof having material useful
to those Latin American countries to 90
after it now as never before. Baltimore.
situated at the headwaters of the Ches
apeake Bay. is easy access to the Panama
Canal and all ports of Southern America,
would be a most available place for south
ern trade. During war times and before
that Baltimore practically controlled the
eastern-southern portion, but somehow it
seems TO have gotten away TO some ex-
tent. Baltimore has at the head of its
government a very progressive mayor,
james H. Preston, and he has been the
inspiration Of this appeal to the Latin
countries for trade with Baltimore. The
book Is printed in Spanish, which is the
language Of most Of those countries, and
will be largely distributed

Would Change Present Plan.

The question of using all revenue
from water rents for the improve
ment Of the water system of Freder-
lex, the construction of a storage
reservoir and the Strengthening of the
Fishing creek pipe line is being SER
iously considered by several members
of the board of aldermen Two alder
men are ardently in favor of using
the revenue from the water system for
contemplated improvements and
corresponding increased supply of
water. Now the water rents are used
for the general expenses of the city,
the payment of interest on bonds, the
creating of sinking fund for water
improvement bonds and for the lay
ing OF some streets in the city.
straw vote taken over the board
OF aldermen yesterday by a reporter
for The Frederick Post resulted as
follows:
In favor OF separating the water
rent money from the general fund and
applying it to the Improvement of
the system:
Alderman Lloyd c. Cutler and
George w. Shoemaker.
Nom mmittal-Alderman Henry H.
Abbott
Against separation of funds-Al-
dermen John H Grove and Elmer
Nice. Phebus.
There is no doubt but that the
water system of Frederick is a pay
ing proposition. If the city officials
in years gone by had adopted the rule
Of establishing fund for the i'm
provement of the water system, used
the revenue from rents for the up
keep of the system, Frederick would
now have sufficient funds to both
straighten the Fishing creek pipe line
and construct a ffty-milfion-g gallon
capacity $4,000 storage reservoir in
the Catoctin mountains.
The receipts from water rents in
Frederick total nearly $4,000 an
nually. A considerable portion of
money from this source is used by
the city to pay interest on bonds of
all kinds. This interest money
amounts to about $4,000, which an
nually eats big hole in the city's
yearly income.

$4,000, or less. The one objection to
the application of water rents to the
improvement of the system, claim AL
dermen Phebus and Grove, is that
there would be an increase in the
tax rate In talking about the scheme
last night these two aldermen based
their objection on the grounds that
the tax rate would soar.
Aldermen Cutler and Shoemaker
believe the scheme a good one. 81
don't see why the revenue from water
rents should not go back into the
system" said Alderman Cutler. after
a sufficient amount has been laid
aside for maintenance and for the
establishment of the sinking fund"
Alderman Shoemaker said: 'If the
water rent money was applied entire
ly to the water system we could even
now construct and pay for storage
reservoir in few years. I'm heart
lily in favor of it. Frederick needs an
increased water supply
Now enough of money from water
rents are used to establish a sinking
fund so that the water bonds can be
taken up at maturity.

~ timore City will be called upon
to cast their ballots for mayor
and members Of the city council. The
campaign SO far appears to be entirely
one sided, and unless some peculiar form
Of political landslide should occur, there
seems little question but that the present
mayor James H. Preston, who was nom
mated without opposition on the Demo
cratic ticket, will serve the people Of that
city for four more years TO come. His
opponent, Mr.. Charles Heintzemsn, is
putting up as good a fight as possible I'M
der the circumstances, but with the
"Sun," News and American, the
three leading daily papers Of Baltimore,
strongly advocating the reelection of
Mayor Preston, it looks like a forlorn
hope for the Republican candidate. Mr..
Preston certainly has done things for
Baltimore, no matter what his enemies,
and we has some, may think and say
abodt him. The Baltimore "Sun''
fought him most ferociously four years
ago, as did the Baltimore 'Evening
News, and of course the American
was on the other side. Despite this he
won, and started in on his campaign Of
performance. Mayor Preston is a man
Of very strong convictions, and has de-
cided IDEAS about city government, and
also about political patronage, and he
has gone through with both to the salts
faction Of the majority Of party leaders,
and the taxpayers and citizens of Balti-
more. He has filed the offices of the
city with Democrats, because he believes
that those who work to elect the party
candidates should share in the fruits Of
victory. but he has insisted upon the full
performance Of their duties in every
Office they have filed, and in many
cases has discharged officials who have
been delinquent in their various duties.
1t is needless to say however that he
snpplanted them with members Of his
own party. Some Of the reform element
IN Baltimore Of course are making as
much out Of this as possible, but it cuts
very little figure, as the affairs Of the
city are in very good condition, and
what money has been spent in any de-
partment the people can see value re
ceiyed On every hand. More streets
have been paved in Baltimore than ever
before, aud the magnificent Fallsway at
Jones Falls from Baltimore street to
Mt. Royal avenue, will stand monu.

tegrity. Mr.. Heintzeman at best can
only say what he will do, against Mr..
Preston 5 record Of what he has done.
and this is rather difficult proposition.
Mr.. Heitzeman is very liked man, but
he is not considered big enough to carry
out the performance with which he is
intrusted.

GENTLEMEN:-I read with much in
terest your article in THE CITIZEN, also
the editorial, and | am certainly glad to
see that the press is taking the side for
the protection Of the public.
Unfortunately, too many newspapers
are prone to give their columns to these
quack advertisements.
Whenever anything worthy is given to
the public for the treatment of tubercu-
losis, a reputable physician will publish
it in medical journal, or deliver it be-
fore some medical society, where the
pros and cons can be discussed and then
given to the public
We are working for that end, that is
to find something that will cure tubercu-
losis, and when it is found. if ever it is,
it will be given to the public through the
proper channel.
Unfortunately. all chronic diseases,
such as tuberculosis and cancer, are the
ones that these quack people prey upon,
and most people have tried everything al
most, so that it is like drowning man
grasping at straw; and when somebody
comes out with an advertisement they are
ready to jump at it.

half an hour later that he met his
death. From what we can learn he

pulling his loaded gun after him when
it was discharged and the charge struck
him on the left side of the throat, pass

death of course, was instantaneous.

they persisted in standing on the track

Do Champion Athletes Die Young?

From opinions collected from men
prominent in the athletic world, among
them several doctors and surgeons who
have given the subject special study.
it may be concluded that the average
man can play baseball, tennis and bas-
ketball with safety until he is forty.
After that age these more vigorous
games become a little dangerous, even
to the man in good physical condi-
ton. At forty-five, most Of the experts
agree, golf. croquet, handball, volley
ball and medicine ball are more fitting
and certainly, safer pastimes. The
United States public health service dis
countenances some of the more violent
forms of sport, such as rowing. for in
stance, even for young men. Long dis
lance running, jumping and pole vault
ing also are considered extremely ex-
hausting by it's experts. 1t declares. in
short, that champion athletes die
young. "-Boston Herald.
