Il. S. BoMaEReER DEAD

Former State Senator Harvey
S. Bomberger, died at his home
in Boonsboro on Wednesday noon,
aged II years. Mr.. Bomberger
was leading citizen of Boons-
boro and Washington County and
held a number of positions Of
trust. He was elected to the Leg
islature on the Republican ticket
in 1898. He was instrumental,
along with others in rebuilding
the first monument erected to
George Washington, on top of
South Mountain, above Boonsboro,
and having it taken over by the
State.

but. mark it well. there is bound
airy line to that patience. Moses
went too far in his needless humility
and really reflected on the ability
of God, and he promptly substituted
Aaron as the spokesman.
Gracious was He in thus provid-
ing a helper for Moses. But one
wonders what Moses missed OF
blessing and power because of his
s1owness of heart. To decline the
labor and the responsibility of serv-
ice for God means loss far greater
than we may ever know.

us ready for service. While it is
folly to go unprepared. it is double
folly to prepare and then fail to go
when God commands.

The Seed They Sou

BY Harry Troupe Brewer
It's strange indeed
How some succeed,
And others, how they fail;
Some seem to need
So little seed,
True greatness to avail.
Some folks may work
Not prone to shirk
And still they never win;
The seeds they SOW,
Refuse to grow,
'Twere better in the bin.
God help those see
Who'd like to he
The winners of some fame;
By lighting way
For a brighter day
If fair they play the game
The folk who win
Are those who spin
In spinning use their wit;
And those who lose
Their wit abuse,
Thus failing, want to quit.

portant that the people could
withstand the attacks of the
French and Indians with much
better success.
In the French and Indian War.
the English soldiers were prob
ably armed with guns of equal
and uniform calibre, but the Co.

his own pet rifle. These were of

it was impossible to provide the

They were, therefore, provided

In order that the bullets would fit
the rifles of various calibre. each
man was provided with bullet

The fact that Col. Cresap and
his associates for many years i'm

manship, extending over a period
from 1740, at least until the be-
ginning of the Revolutionary War
explains to a great extent the fact
that the men of that period who
entered the army from Washing
ton County area were so well
armed.
Mainly through the efforts of
these traders so many good guns
were imported into this section,
that the people were better arm
ed than in any other section of the
American Colonies. On account of
the possession of these arms, fine
craftsmanship and excellent sol
diering qualities were developed.
The need for defense on account
of Indian raids in 1756-57-58 taught
the people the necessity of pos
sessing themselves with good
guns and cultivating accurate
workmanship knowing that their
v'ry lives depended up51 this.
No section of the country ever
exceIled the men of Western
Maryland in the accurate use of
fire arms.

Arms in the Colonial Wars
The bequest of rifle in the
will of one of the ancestors of the
writer seems to provide an expla-
nation of some of the success of
the Washington County contin-
gent in the second battle of Fort
Duquesne, also of the Washington
County contingent in the Colonial
Army in Boston in 1775.
1t has been conceded generally
that the ingenious fighting in In

battle of Fort Duquesne, and that

men from Frederick county, I'M
der their own local officers, hav-
ing broken away from the COM
mand of their English General,
they defeated the Indians and
turned the tide of battle from de-
feat to victory. A great deal of
confidence was infused into the
Maryland men on account of the
excellence of the rifles with which
they were armed.
The tradition explains that the
rifle bequeathed in the aforemen-
toned will was of English make,
the best that money could buy,
and had been imported into this
country by Colonel Thomas Gre
sap. This gun had great repu-
tation for accuracy among mem

hour struck he was ready.
Our lesson brings before us the
meeting with God which preceded
the appearance of Moses as the
head of the nation of Israel in its
mighty conflict with Pharaoh. We
find him first proceeding with COM
mendable care but then going on in
unfortunate humility which amount
ed almost to unbelief and which re-
suited in the substitution of his
brother Aaron as his spokesman,
but eventually we do see him going
about his difficult task with resolu-

Neither God nor man dare entrust
a high and difficult commission to
a foolish man who brusquely
"rushes in where angels fear to
tread" The fact that one feels
fully and unhesitatingly qualified to
take over such a responsibility is
almost a certain indication that he
is not the man to assume it.

questions of those whom he seeks tc
serve.
''What shall I say?" asks Moses
and God answers that he may say
that II ANI'' had sent him. This
name of God reveals him as the

HARMONY SPIRIT IS STRESSED BY .GOvERNOR TROY
Urges Legislators to Forget Boundary Lines in Futh- ering Alaska Interests
FIRST BILL TOSSED
 IN SENATE HOPPER
s. B. No. I Aimed to Pro- tect Resident Fishermen
 In Alaskan Waters

In brief remarks complimenting the Legislators on the excellent spir- 1t of harmony and urging the con- tinued spirit of forgetting Division lines in further legislation for Alaska Gov John w. Troy presented his biennial message to the 18th Terri torial Legislature this afternoon at a joint session of the Senate and House at which Senator Henry Ro- den presided.
 The Chief Executive did not read the message, but said he offered it for the lawmakers to peruse at their leisure and do with it as you see fit" Complete text of the message, which covers Alaskas major prob lens, is found elsewhere in today's Empire.
 The Senate at brief session prior to meeting with the House saw it's first bill of the 18th Legislature tossed in the hopper It was offered by Senator Roden.
 Known hereafter as Senate Bill No. l, the measure would assess $l license tax on all commercial fishermen in Alaska waters. The bill is aimed at guarding the interests of Alaska resident fishermen, par sft llarly in Bristol Bay; it also re- quires that in order to obtain li- cense it would be necessary to be legal resident of the Territory which requires one years residence here before applying for the license
 Under the act, if it becomes law, outside fishermen would be barred from Alaskan waters for one year.
 Senator Roden also is the author of Senate Joint Resolution No. 1, which provides that the House and Senate be authorized to appropriate $500 or such amount of it as needed for additional clerical help.
 The Senate also received com munication from the Alaska Trollers Cooperative Marketing Association of Ketchikan asking that the license of one-tenth of one percent charged on fish purchased in excess of 400,- 900 pounds be repealed on grounds that Alaska fish buyers cannot com pete in the outside market under such tax. A bill along the same line was presented four years ago but failed to get action.
