“OUR SUBJECT STATE.”
In New York Governor Dix recently
delivered a speech on “The City Effi
cient,” in which he said—
The time has come when the
cities should demand that instead
of being' governed as subject pro
vinces * * * the State should
permit every city within its boun
daries to be a self-governed com
munity.
The New York World, however, dif
fers in this wise:
We wish Gov. Dix could feel as
strongly that he and Mr. Murphy
have brought about a situation
where the State would demand
that, instead of being governed
as a subject province from Four
teenth street, it should be a self
governing community.
State rights in New York are at
the present moment in consider
ably greater danger from munici
pal usurpation than they are from
Federal encroachment.
The most important contribu
tion to local autonomy which the
Governor can at present furnish
is to restore the State Govern
ment to Albany.
State rights in Maryland are in
greater peril from the same danger—
“municipal usurpation,” than in New
York.
Here it is proposed that the
people of the counties shall, not only
yield, but sustain a constitutional
amendment practically fixing their
status as subordinate to one of the
State’s cities.
Hence, if it be to the interest of
New York city as well as to New
York counties, to “restore the State
government to Albany,” it is equally
to Maryland’s interests, even those of
Baltimore , to let the State govern
ment remain at Annapolis!
TWO GOOD PLANKS.
Among Blair Lee’s announcements
of his platform as a democratic guber
natorial candidate the following para
graphs furnish two attractive planks:
It is of the utmost importance
that every effort should be made
to secure more durable roads at a
cost which will make it to the ad
vantage of the State as a business
proposition to complete this great
projected work. This we are ad
vised will require funds additional
to those already provided. In any
future bond issues for road pur
poses an apportionment of the
proceeds should be made to Balti
more, fairly commensurate with
the burden placed upon the city
and the benefits it receives from
this general scheme of improve
ment.
If “the benefits it receives” be prop
erly considered and estimated, it will
be found that the State cannot be
benefitted in any way without Balti
more winning the lion’s share.
In fact, much as the city gets di
rectly from the counties, it gets much
more indirectly.
2, The perpetuation of free gov
ernment depends upon the educa
tion of the masses. Trained
teachers are essential to the most
judicious expenditure of public
moneys for this purpose. The
normal school facilities are inade
quate for present urgent needs.
I am heartily in favor of aiding
the cause of public eduation along
all proper lines, and especially in
providing more adequate normal
school facilities.
Precisely what is wanted at the
Frostburg State Normal—an equip
ment of dormitory accomodations for
the shelter of pupils that would come
from other counties, but do not because
of the want of official oversight night
and day—out of as well as in school.
In at least two directions, therefore,
Mr. Lee is on the right track.
DEPENDS UPON THE TESTIMONY.
The “reasonable” and “unreason
able” qualifications set up by the Su
preme Court are the occasion for
much speculation and difference of
opinion.
Seems to the Journai., however,
that these terms have reference more
to matters of fact for juries to deter
mine than to technical constructions
to be reached by Courts.
Something like “circumstantial evi
dence—always fraught with danger
to life,” says one court attendant,
“but never threatening of punish
ment, for instance, to men who sell
whiskey illegally.”
Married.
In this place Monday evening, May
29, 1911, by Rev. D. H. Martin, Miss
Clara May Snyder to Mr. Henry Mar
shall Stark, both of Eckhart.
Did He Deceive Them?
J. M. Porter Shaffer, lecturing upon
“Municipal Sanitation —its Values and
its Virtues,” the other day, led John
J. Ryan and George J. Wittig to be- '
lieve that he is an honorary member
of the Civic Club.
“Port.” did not disabuse them, and
when they asked him for a commis
sion to make a missionary tour of
neighboring towns in Pennsylvania,
he gladly assented.
So they set out in George’s automo
bile Thursday, but word comes back
that the Pennsylvanians think it very
queer that a ladies’ organization
would send out two old bachelors to
preach the gospel of clean house
keeping, which is the first verse in
the poem of clean town-keeping. 1

Return of the Live Baia
The Pittsburg (Pa.) Dispatch says—
This year’s development in base
ball revives the feature of the
early days in that game when the
live ball was in use, with corres
pondingly long hits, big scores
home runs an expected feature of
every game. This is due to the
introduction of the “cork-centre”
ball, which is more elastic than
the dead ball in use for a genera
tion past. The cork-centre ball,
if stuck to, will make the games
livelier and runs more abundant.
The game is less an exhibition
and test of the pitcher’s skill.
The present tendency is to enliv
en the game by giving the batters
more of a chance.
Something in that. Not much sat
isfaction in seeing a batter retired
who has been served with balls—mer
itorious only because they are decep
tive or tricky, especially if he be one
of the home team.
Rowdyism Condemned
Not long ago the National League
was stirred by the bad conduct of the
New York team, and something had to
be quietly done by the National Com
mission to stop it. Then it was stated
that—
The days when people paid
their way into ball parks to see a
fight between the players has long
since passed. It was this condi
tion which came near killing the
game a few years back, and the
sentiment against anything con
nected with the game that is not
clean is stronger now than ever
before.
So it should be here. The player
who says an insulting word to another
player, or to an umpire, should be re
tired instantly. If he hits anybody,
he should be carted off to the hold
over.
Lonaconing Horation
Jonah got up from the shore,
Then, with some fatigue,
Shouted —“Gosh! I’m glad that whale
Wouldn’t jine the league.
REUGIOUS
A church we would never attend
is the one whose pastor declares
that base-ball is sinful Cumber
land News.
Sounds like he was endorsing by il
lustration some home umpire’s de
cision.
Personae
James Jackson left here Monday
evening and got to Richmond, Va., in
time to play short-stop in the latter
game of a double-header between that
city and Petersburg, of the Virginia
League. The result was a 10-inning
tie—3 to 3.
Games
Mt. Savage came up Tuesday and
played two games with Frostburg,
losing both—the first by 5 to 3, second
7 to 3.
The White Sox, of this place, went
over to Berlin, Pa., last Tuesday and
won —8 to 2. For the W. S. “error
less” is the word. They had a fine
time; enjoyed royal hospitality from
the Berliners.
Brevities
The base-ball expert of the Cumber
land Times seems to think the Jour-
NAI, doesn’t see some things the great
paper criticises. But if the Times
will look closer, it will see that the
criticisms are within quotation marks;
that is, they were contributed by an
authority who did see what he con
demned.
The Sick.
Andrew Spier, the lad hurt last
week in a fall through a trestle at
Borden, is recovering.
Had a Good Time.
The Gettysburg excursion under
auspices of the local company, Uni
form Rank, K. of P., on Decoration
Day, Tuesday last, was enjoyed by
quite a large number of Frostburgers
and others from along George’s Creek.
The day was almost ideal —the only
disagreeable feature being a small
shower in the early part of the after
noon. Although the crowd on the
battlefield was large, accommodations
were ample to care for all.

A Dreadful Wound
From a knife, gun, tin can, rusty
nail, fireworks, or of any other nature,
demands prompt treatment with Buck
len’s Arnica Salve to prevent blood
poison or gangrene. , It’s the quickest,
surest healer for all such wounds as
also for Burns, Boils, Sores, Skin
Eruptions, Eczema, Chapped Hands,
Corns or Piles. 25c at all druggists.
Work Will Soou Start
After you take Dr. King’s New Life
Pills, and you’ll quickly enjoy their
fine results. Constipation and indi
gestion vanish and fine appetite re
turns. They regulate stomach, liver
and bowels and impart new strength
and energy to the whole system. Try
them. Only 25c at all druggists.
All the Good Qualities
Of Ely’s Cream Balm, solid, are found
in Liquid Cream Balm, which is in
tended for use in atomizers. That it
is wonderful remedy for Nasal Catarrh
is proved by an ever-increasing mass
of testimony. It does not dry out nor
rasp the tender air-passages. It allays
the inflammation and goes straight to
the root of the disease. Obstinate old
cases have yielded in a few weeks.

She Lost Her Flowers.
In a recent issue of the Kansas City
(Mo.) Star a pretty report of an unlov
able act is given under the heading
of “May Queen Nipped Her Tulips,”
as follows:
You must wake and call me early—call mo
early, mother dear;
To-morrow ’ll be the happiest time of all the
glad new year—
Of all the glad new year, mother, the gladdest,
merriest day,
For I’m to be Queen o’ the May; mother—l’m
to be Queen o’ the May—
“ And must get up early and swipe
that fine bed of tulips in Mrs. Hiram
Mason’s front } 7 ard at 3115 East Elev
enth Street, to make my May crown.”
“At least that is what Mrs. Mason
suspects may have been the motive of
the person who despoiled her tulip
bed some time last night. She had
more than a hundred of the blooms in
her yard and they were the pride of
the neighborhood. Yesterday innum
erable persons paused in their Sunday
walk by her house to admire them.
She didn’t see an3 7 body take out pen
cil and paper and make note of the
address, but she fancies one of them
may have done so and returned after
dark with a basket and shears, for
when she went out this morning to
look at them they were gone —every
one. They had been neatly snipped
off, close to the ground, as if by care
ful and experienced fingers.
“Perhaps,” Mrs. Mason speculated
this morning, “some florist ran short
on account of the May demand and
had a hurry-up order to fill. Well,
whoever has them has a bunch of the
finest tulips ever raised in this neigh
borhood, anyway.”
Frostburg friends of Mrs. Mason —a
former resident, will sympathize with
her.
Dastardly Crime.
Earty Monday morning a felonious
assault was made upon Mrs. Minnie
Sweene, a widow, living in Mt. Sav
age.
The county officers set out at once
to find the criminal, and a pair of
blood-hounds were brought from Fair
mont, W. Va., to trail him. These
went up on the mountain, returned to
town, entered the house of an Italian,
and went to the bed of a lodger.
The latter was arrested, taken to
Cumberland, but was released after
Mrs. Sweene declared he was not the
man.
The people of Mt. Savage have of
fered a reward of $350 for arrest of
I the fugitive.
