Making Road Survey.
Good Road Possible Between
Hagerst0Wn And Westminster.

Good Road Possible Between
Hagcrstown And Westminster.
A corps of engineers began the work
of making survey of the public road
leading from Thurmont through Grace
ham, Rocky Ridge. Union Bridge and
New Windsor to Westminster on Mon
day of this week..
1t will be recalled that at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature a bill was passed
authorizing the survey of this road its
entire distance between Hagerstawn and
Westminster. Thurmont is about half
way between the two cities, the distance
to Hagerstown by railroad being % miles
and that to Westminster by rail25 miles.
The engineers are now working from
Thurmont to Westminster. Probably an
other corps will survey the road from
Thurmont to Foxville, Smithburg on to
Hagerstown.
The benefits from this road, if built,
will be many. To the east of us it would
take farmers out of the mud and place
them on solid ground. and to the west
it would give the mountain people good
smooth road over which to bring their
produce to railroad points.
1t is not yet time to say the road is to
be built 1t may, and we hope it will.
After the surveys are completed and all
details worked out the cost of building
will be known Then it will come be-
fore the Good Roads Commission. The
money will have to come through appro-
priations of future Legislatures. This
all takes time, and if the matter is not
pushed vigorously by people of the coun-
ties and politicians, it may be many years
before work is begun on the road.
This road if built, would also be bene-
fit to tourists from Baltimore to points
in the western part of the state. the
route being most direct one. 1t would
also relieve the traffic over the Baltimore
Frederick and Hagerstown State Road
and help save the wear and tear of that
road to great degree.
Let US all hope thai some day Thur
mont NAV become the centre of two
great thoroug viz: from Fred
erick to Gettysburg and from HagerS-
town to Westminster Baltimore.

ASSAULT ON FREE SPEECH

Senator Cummins of Iowa has been made chairman of a subcommittee of the senate judiciary committee to which have been referred the various peace-time sedition laws recently in- trOduced in congress. On this com mittee, for the time being, rests the responsibility of deciding whether we are to have oppressive laws in regard to freedom of speech, of press and of assemblage as one of our heritages from the war.
 The National Civil Liberties Bu- reau is taking an active interest in the matter, and in answer to a letter sent out by them to a number of prominent men, has received some in teresting opinions. B. A. Ross, pro- lessor of political economy in the Uni versity of Wisconsin, a man whose opinion is often sought in matters of governmental nature, speaks very emphatically.
 q protest against a sedition law in peace time," says Professor Ross. By abandoning the policy of free utterance which for nearly one hun dred and thirty years has been our glory, this nation would show weak ness and fear. If bitter utterances are on the increase, the remedies are education and the redress of concrete evils, not repression. By entering on this well-worn path, we confess that our government is not as secure in the affections of it's people as abso- lutistic governments. It should be the privilege of democracy to smile at utterances which throw authority into panic"

ANOTHER SOLUTION OF IRISH
 PROBLEM

The latest proposal put forward witt view to settling the Irish Ques- tion is to have new convention, and to mako it an elective constituent as- sembly to prepare and publish a de- tailed scheme for Irish se1f-govern- ment This suggestion eme1ges from t1e office of the Irish Proportional Representation Society.
 The last convention was a nominat- ed body chosen by the government and, though it included many men of representative position, the people had no voice in it's selection. The new convention, it is urged, should give real self-determination by letting the people choose their own represen- tatives.
 The argument that Ireland has al- ready chosen it's representatives and made them mostly Sim Fein repub- 1icans is met by an examination of the figures of the last election with a view to providing that the result greatly exaggerated the preponder- ance of the republicans.
 The contention is that the only true way to arrive at Irish opinion is by proportional representation. It is suggested that the new convention should consist of 105 members elected by the existing constituencies so grouped as to have ten memRers to each group, each elector having a single transferable vote. The sole function of the convention would be to prepare a scheme of self-gov- ernment.
 In Sim quarters the plan finds no favor, and there is no reason to sup pose that they would officially recog- nize the new convention any more than the old one. The Ulster party which came into the old convention would be hostile to the new one. The antagonists on both extremes stand pat"

STURDY BRITISH TAR
 IS TAKEN BY DEATH

LONDON, Sept. s CDy Associated Press)-Admiral Baron Charles Beres- ford, retired, died of apoplexy here yesterday.
 Admiral Beresford first gained dis tinction at the bombardment of AL exandria by a British fleet in 1882, and served on the active list of the British navy until few years before the great war. He had for many years been considered one of the authorities on armament and con- truction of navy vessels.

BOY SCOUT DOlNGs.

The Silver Fox patrol of Boy Scout Troop No. ? of Zanesville, O., took up a collection for needy man who was on his death bed.
 Scouts in Sylvania, O., have been ac- tive in keeping the community in or der. They cleaned the snow from the sidewalks and kept the gutters open.
 A course in scouting has been open ed at Creighton university of Omaha, Neb. Father F. K. McMenamy, presi- dent of Creighton, declared his hearty approval of the boy scout movement.
 Havana's h-sounding Name,
 The full name of the capital of Cuba is San ChristObal de Ia Habana. In 1884 a royal decree conferred upon the city the sounding title, "Llave del Nuevo Mundo y Antemural de las h. dias Occidentales," which signifies "Key of the New World and Bulwark of the West Tndies." In emphasis, the cOat-Of-arms of the municipality bears symbolic key and representa- tiOns of the Actresses of MOrrO Punta and Fuerza.
 In 1850 the city rose to be the com mercial center of the Spanish-Ameri- can possessions, and the principal rem deZvOus of the royal fleets that car rjed on the trade monopoly between Spain and America.

A STRANGE CASE

The case Of the local girl who has recently confessed
to the commission of a number of onenses. ranging from
arson down to petty annoyanccs, while strange, is by no
means rare, for physicians and alienists have frequently
run across quite similar cases of mental perversion ac-
companied by the general appearance. of sanity and cor
rect behavior. The fact that the girl has confessed to
q large number of crimes does not establish conclusively
that she committed all or any of them. But there is
ample corroborative evidence that she was responsible for
some Of the incidents in question, and. there is a strong
probability that she was implicated in at least some of
the others. AS to the rest the authorities very properly
reserve these matters for further investigation. Ii is a
we'll known fact that in cases of mental alteration of this
character the subject will often confess to crimes which
he or she has not committed, and even to crimes which
have not been committed at all.
This case has been made unusually puzzling by the
refined appearance and usually quiet and orderly be-
havior OF the girl when under observation. To those
who have observed her casually, she has seemed to be
like thousands Of other young girls. intelligent. pleasant,
cheerful and without a trace OF morbidity or sensation

TURKISH B AGAIN

1t seems that nothing short Of humiliation will curb
the Turks. With the collapse Of the Turkish empire an
fact: with the influential nations Of the
world debating on the disposition Of the vast territory.
and the immense population formerly ruled from Con-
stantinople, and with doubt existing as to whether the
safety, order and decency Of the world will permit Turk
ish authority to continue anywhere and under any cir
occupation Of massacreins Armenians. footing their vii
lagos and destroying their homes. Trains loaded with
provisions sent from, America for the relief Of the starving
have been held up and even attacked, and
these acts have been performed by men wearing the uni
form of the Turkish government. @
In all probability there will remain to Turkey a dis
tinct nationality and a governmental authority over a
designated area, and the considerable population. But the
fact seems to have been. demonstrated time and again
that there exists among the Turks no authority which is
competent to maintain such control over tho disorderly and
the criminal as to give even a moderate degree Of security
to peaceful people anywhere within Turkish jurisdiction.
out saying. The Armenians are not at present capable
OF maintaining an independent government Of their own.
They must be protected and the administration of their
affairs must be supervised for a time by outsiders. To
some nation or other must be assigned that duty. The
work will be performed by one Of the European nations
or by the United States. A good deal has been said in ia
vor of designating the United States as the official trustee
of Armenian interests. That plan is unsatisfactory to all
those who have insisted that the United States should re-
main at home, and. attend to what they narrowly describe,
as its own business. But those who realize that the Unit
ed States has duties to perform to the world, the super
vision of Armenian affairs by this country seems. not in
appropriate.
1t may be necessary yet to designate a supervisor for
the affairs Of Turkey proper, for civilization cannot per-
nit anarchy to continue indefinitely even among the
Turks. and the Turks are at present apparently capable
Of nothing else.
