Judge Worthington.
Wo extend congratulations tt uur
now Judge who took the oath of
office on Monday last. Judge Worth
ington is no “new hand’’, he having
served for two years as Chief Judge,
having been appointed hy (iovernor
Warfield to (ill the vacancy caused
by tin 1 death of Chief Judge McSherry.
Judge Worthington was pn viously
elected State’s Attorney and served j
for four years.
Kveryone who knows Judge Worth- j
iligton believes that lie will he a eon- |
scieneious and painstaking judge and
who will hold the scales of justice I
with steady hand. It is serious bus- ,
iness, for in the judge’s hands he
holds the fate, perchance, of all our
citizens as regards prosperity, liberty,
and perchance life itself.
We wish Judge Worthington a
successful term, so that at the end
thereof there may he pronounced of
him hy his fellow citizens “well done
good and faithful servant.”
Is Now Ex-Judge Motter.
On Monday morning last the new
ly elected judge, (Henn 11. Worth
ington, took his oath of office iii tin
Clerk’s office, at which time Judge
Motter became a citizen in private !
life after lo years of service on the |
bench.
Judge Motter has been a prominent I
figure before the public for the past j
•10 years, lie was .State’s Attorney
for Frederick Comity for 8 years. 11
was nominated for Judge against
Judge Lynch hut was defeated hy a
small majority. He was nominated
and elected Judge in 1 St7. It will
lie seen that Judge Motter Inis more
than an ordinary figure in public life
in Frederick County.
Judge Motter has always been a
“fighting" politician and during Ids
career on the bench he followed the
bent of his political inclination to the
extent that he made many political
enemies both within and without his
own party.
Politics to Judge Motter is like
water is to a duck,and Ids inordinate
fondness for the "game” has doubt-!
less made many -ore spots, difficult
to heal. As a Judge we believe that
he has always been eonscieneiousand
painstaking, striving to arrive at the
truth and equity of the matter before
him. We have never heard Judge
Motter accused of exercising Ids high
office for the purpose of remanding
his friends or punishing his enemies
w hen it came to deciding cases of law
or equity.
We wish Judge Mutter many more
years to associate and mingle more
freely with his friends without judicial
restraint.
Must Provide Its Own
Accommodations.
‘lVnnsy" Refuses VV. M. Priv
ileges Heretofore Enjoyed.
The Western Maryland Railway
Company w ill have to provide its ter
minal facilities in Baltimore for thro’
business, according to an announce
ment hy the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company.
The Pennsylvania gave notice last
week that on and after Nov. T), it
would refuse shipments of 'consign
ments from the Western Maryland
for delivery at Canton, Calvert Sta
tion, and other city yards, unless
such shipments are billed ai the local
rates from and to the a love stations
and the junction of the Western Ma
ryland. The order does not apply to
shipments of export grain from points
strictly on the W. M.
The situation was explained in the,
following way:
For a carload of grain from Chicago
to Baltimore the Pennsylvania and
the Baltimore and Ohio get a gross
sum of SBS. Assuming the operat
ing expense to be 60 per cent., this
would mean a net revenue of sll4 for
the haul. In addition these roads
get li cent A for the elevation of this
j grain into their storage, houses. I s
The Western Maryland could solicit j
i this trade and hy loading a ear on its
connecting line at Chicago it could;'
, bring it to Baltimore hy way of Cleve-1
land, getting the whole of the haul
until it reached the mouth of the <
Pennsylvania tunnel at
Here the Pennsylvania would only
•get 1 j cents per 100 pounds for the |
haul through the tunnel and the ele- !(
j vator charge of li cents per hundred
■ pounds.
It is not reasonable to suppose that
these ‘rival roads would submit to ■
supplying these facilities when it loses j
the revenue on the long haul from |
the originating point. It only means
they have served notice that it now ,
regards the Western Maryland as a
competitor for through business and
that the Western Maryland must pro
vide its own accommodations.

1 How to Bankrupt the Doctors.
A prominent New York physician says,
. “If it were not for the thin stockingsand
I thin soled shoes worn by women the doc
tors would probably be bankrupt.” When
you contract a cold do not wait for it to
' develop into oneumonia but treat it at
I once. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is
s intended especially for coughs and colds,
and has won a wide reputation by its
cures of these diseases. It is most effect
ual and is pleasant and safe to take. For

Owing to the fact that the stoves which I
have heated the Town Hall for many
years have become worthless and other

Attendance Report of the School of Thurmont for the
Month of November, 1912.
The teachers of our schools desire to'present to their patrons and
scholars the following report of attendance for the month of November just
past. By comparison with the report of September and October they sec
some improvement, and therefor, they are very thankful. There is decided
improvement in the promptness of the scholars in the morning. Their
number of tardy marks is gradually becoming less, but the general attend
ance however does not improve as it should. The low average in the two
lower rooms is partly accounted for by the prevalence of whooping-cough.
The attendance does not, however, meet the expectation of the teachers.
The teachers sometimes wonder if the parents are aware that the children
are not at school and on time.
The teachers earnestly hope that parents and scholars will read the
report and then in a systematic manner aid in making the next report far
superior to any preceding one. The teachers also desire to call the atten
tion of parents to tin 1 personal rep rts of the term. Have you, parents,
asked to see your son’s or your daughter’s report so you could sign and re
turn it to the teacher? Blease look after this mattei —the report will show
you what the pupil is doing.
