PRESIDENT WILSON is formulating the
note TO be sent TO Germany in reply 10
the last communication from that govern
ment, and il is reported that it will be
much more pointed than previous COM
municatonS from the PreSidenthave been.
Few persons believe that Germany will
back down from her present method OF
conducting submarine warfare, for her
communications TO the United States gov
eminent have had a note of inSolence and
contempt from the beginning, which in
dicateS very clearly that she will not be
influenced by the desires OF any other ma
ton. This condition makes very trying
situation for the President, who cannot
yield the righteous contentious OF our
government, and yet at the same time
must hesitate long before he plunges this
country into war.
The one bright spot in the situation is
the fact that we have wise and conServa-
tive man at The head of the government.
and the people generally agree that we
can safely leave the matter in President
Wilson's hands.

The newspapers have been filled the
past week with accounts OF the doings Of
the notorious Harry Thaw, who for nine
years has been in jails or insane aSYlums
or on his way between them to answer
for the murder of Stanford White. That
White got what was coming TO him must
be conceded, but If must also be admitted
that 'Thaw as an avenging angel usurped
prerogatives not rightly his. The courts
have finally given him his freedom and
he is at his home in Pittsburg, where
decency ordains that he should be left to
20 his way in peace. Maudlin crowds
have greeted him everywhere, and he has
attracted as much attention as tine En-
peror William would if he were to make
a visit here. Thaw has been filled with
conceit because OF the notoriety that at
tends him, and, far from being displeased
at the curiosity of the crowds, he seems
really 10 be disappointed when he is not
surrounded by multitude.
We look for Thaw TO wind up in some
sort OF asylum yet.

THE nine-year old son OF John M.
Hood, Jr., OF Baltimore, met sad death
few days ago at boys camp in the
Adirondack mountains. The child had
been missing for three days, when his
body was found floating in lake ad-
jacent TO the camp. Just how he met
his death is unknown, but there is suS-
picion that he became so homeSick and
depressed that he threw himself into the
lake. We think that parents make a
great mistake in sending little boys to
these camps in the mountains and forests.
Children who have been tenderly reared
in city homes are taken into the lonely
solitudes of the forests, where they are
simply overwhelmed with inconsistencies
and loneliness and the terrorS that the
childish mind conjures up in the shadows
of the night Intended to develop man.
illness, The intention OF these camps is in
part justifiable, but in reality it is too
great a strain on little fellows who have
the comforts and protective love OF hap
by home and who have the natural alice
tons for father and mother. MIR. and
Mrs. Hood are heartbroken over the
death Of their boy.

NOTES BY OBSERVER.

Observers remarks in last weeks Reg
lister concerning dogs struck a sympathetic
chord in the minds of many OF his read
ers. The ministers especially have ex-
pressed their appreciation OF the criticism
OF dogs tn 1t are allowed to come TO church,
to annoy the congregation and discomfort
the preacher. The dogs that bark Tor
hours and hours in the late night have
also been strongly condemned, and there
is a general demand that the law shall be
enforced. A town ordinance requires
that every person owning or possessing
a dog shall register the same with the
town sergeant and pay the annual tax
assessed upon dogs for the current year,
and shall also pay fee OF Is cents for a
metal tag 10 be fastened to collar worn
by the dog. Any dog found at large in
the town without being so registered and
tagged may be killed by the sergeant.
Wonder how many dogs in town are
tagged, as the law requires -?
Last Saturday night residents OF the
west end OF town were greatly annoyed
by gang OF ours that barked and fought
about the streets, and Monday night sew
eral ours howled for a couple of hours
around midnight, until some exasperated
person got up from bed and drove them
away. The town sergeant could with
great proprety and in full accord Within
law put TO death couple of dozen worth
less ours about town that are condemned
nuisances. Wish that he would get busy.

The people appreciate the privilege OF
using the old college campus for lawn
fetes and other gatherings. This beauty
spot right in the center OF the town makes
it particularly desirable for such entertain
ments, and there is never any lack OF
visitors. With its brightly colored Ian
terms and pretty girls waiting on the pa
irons, il makes scene OF attractive beau
ty that is generally enjoyed. What a
genuinely lovely spot this is, at all times.
The smooth lawn, the fine old shade
trees, the murmuring brook that slips over
the little fall and makes music all day
long, the noble portico that backs the
place and the substantial stone wall that
encloses the delightful yard, make a
charming bit of nature and art such as
few towns possess. We are glad that If
is being used-let the people always be
on guard not to permit il to be abused.
The lawn fete there Saturday night in the
interest OF the equal suffrage cause PROM
ises TO be very pleasing, as the decora-
tions are to be pretty and unique.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of

Leo Frank, the Atlanta man WHO was
sentenced to death tor the murder OF little
Mary Phagan and whose sentence was
commuted to life imprisonment by the
Governor of Georgia, had his throat cut
by fellow convict in the Georgia State
prison last Saturday night. While Frank
was asleep in the prison dormitory an
other prisoner, William Green, crept to his
cot and cut his throat almost from ear to
ear. While the wound is fearful one,
Frank has a chance to recover. His as
sailant, il has been decided, is demented.

CERTAIN factions OF the Republican
party are very strongly urging former
Senator Elihu Root as their candidate for
President nextyear MIR. Root is astand-
patter OF the most pronounced type, and
is an ideal representative of that class OF
politicians which, like Senator Penrose
and his followers, believes that the gov
eminent is for the classes instead OF the
masses. Senator Root was once regarded
as big man, but he looks small beside
President Wilson.

The Registers criticism OF the early
hour for cutting off the street lightsis we'll
directed, in Observers opinion. AS a
matter OF fact, the lights should be kept
on until midnight, and thereafter il would
be the right thing to keep several lights
on Main street all night. The power
company would doubtless be willing to
install an automatic clock by which all
the lights or part OF them could be turn
ed off at any hour desired. 1t is highly
commendable that our virtuous town ser
geant should seek his repose at an early
hour, but it is bit unprogressive to have
the street lights turned off in conformity
with his sleepy or wakeful condition.
The taxpayers are willing TO pay for rea-
Sonable service.

The Potomac has been very low and
very clear the past few weeks, and ii one
can find more beautiful scene than the
river just above Shepherdstown we should
like to see it. Observer has put in some
OF his spare time fishing on this beautiful
sheet OF water, and it is simply ideal in
the late evening. II is so beautiful that
one doesn't care whether the bass bite
or not, for just 10 be on the placid waters
is Joy. The birds on either shore Sing
until their clear notes echo and re-echo
from cliff to cliff, making music that IS
sweet indeed. An evening on the river
is calculated to make one forget all troub-
les, for it is so peaceful and lovely that
there is no place for unhappy thoughts.

A WESTERN railroad expert has jus

railway officials in regard TO the cost OF
handling passenger traffic are entirely er-

computations are surprising in that they
show that the expenses OF the passenger
traffic are far less than usually supposed.
The Register has always contended that
the railroads would make big money II
they encouraged passenger business by

EXTRA SESSION rs
NOT NOW PROBABLE
BY AsSoCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Presiient Will
son declined to say specifically today
whether he. would call an extra ses-
sion Of congress If the ship purchase
bill failed this session, but his callers
were impressed with the presidents
determination to pass the measure.
Mr.. Wilson said he would support a
rural credits bin IL congressman could
agree on one. but he would not call
an extra session for that. He added
that he was making all his arrange
ments to leave Washington on March
for the Panama canal and the San
Francisco exposition on the expecta-
ton that there would be no extra ses-
sion.
The president told callers his Jack
son day speech at Indianapolis on Fri
day would be political in character.
1t is generally understood he will re-
view the record of the administration.
He also told callers there was no
truth in reports that he was person
ally directing the inquiry into the
passport investigation in New York as
a result of which some German re-
servists have been arrested.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York. Jan. 5.-There was con-
siderable realizing in cotton at the
opening today and prices sold about 4
to 8 points under yesterdays closing
larger spot sales at Liverpool and in
leading southern markets at the close
yesterday attracted considerable at
tention and 1t was reported Russian
interests had recently bought cotton
for shipment during January and Feb
ruary but sentiment around the ring
seemed to be reactionary and there
rumors of increased spot offerings
from the interior. An easier turn in
the New Orleans market probably en-
couraged some of the local selling,
while houses with Wall street and
western connections seemed to be
taking profits on recent purchases,
and the circulation of few new style
January notices caused some iquida-
ton OF near months.
