J. HENSON ODE It, Editor,
FROSTBURG, MD, - - FEB. 10, 1912
A WORD OF EXPLANATION.
It is well-known that the editor here
of is fully convinced by incontestable
facts of legally historical record, not
necessary to repeat here, that the use
of the word, “centennial,” as ahead
letter term in connection with the
town’s projected Home-Coming, is not
warranted by a due regard for history.
At the same time, we want it under
stood, especially by those who care,
that we are tooth and nail, heart and
soul in sympathy with the enterprise
and shall do everything that we can
in this department to promote it.
It has been “thrown up” to us that
we first announced the fact that June
20, 1912, would be the 100th birthday
of the town.
But since that announcement facts,
developed by a power no less than that
of the United States Government,
show incontestably that the town is
106 years old, while its name does not
far exceed 78 years.
Believing and honoring the dietum—
“speak your convictions of to-day in
words hard as rocks, and your con
victions of to-morrow in words just as
hard,” the Journae has held in the
latter times for what it is convinced is
the truth!
But this has not lessened, and will
not abate our enthusiasm for the func
tion. We are going to do all we can
for it —in and out of this newspaper.
Meanwhile, we shall be thankful at
all times for suggestions from all citi
zens looking to a success which shall
be a memorable honor to the town and
a lasting credit to the people!
f CURIOUS* CONTRASTS. 7
Authors Whose Writings and Method*
of Life Were Contradictory.
A man of genius when he writes a
book and “all the god comes rushing
Into his soul” is in an abnormal state,
and hence lives of men of letters have
often been In glaring contrast to their
writings. Montaigne tells us that he
always observed supereelestial opin
ions to be accompanied with subterra

most latitudinarian professors of epi
cureanism have often lived like an
chorites or trappists. Some of the
best sea songs have been written by
men who never snuffed a salt water
breeze, stirring war songs have been
written by timid men and women who
Would have shrieked at the sight of a
mouse, and hymns steeped in the very
spirit of devotion have been written
by men of doubtful morality, who
were never less at home than in a
Christian church. Charles Lamb was
ready to wager that Milton’s morning
hymn in Paradise was penned at mid
night, and we know positively that
Thompson, who sang the praises of
early rising in the “Seasons,” used to
lie abed till noon. Sir Richard Steele
could discourse eloquently on temper
ance when he was not drunk. Wood
worth in his “Old Oaken Bucket” sang
the praise of cold water under the in
spiration of brandy. Dr. Johnson,
who wrote so well on politeness, inter
rupted his opponents with “You He,
sir!” “You are a vile Whig, sir!”
Burns was a compound of “dirt and

A MIGHTY MEAN TRICK.
It Made the Green City Chap Madder
Than a Wet Hen.
Former Sheriff Billy Duvls of Bar
tholomew county told the following
Btory to Illustrate the driving force of
the little black bumblebee, the bane
of the existence of the small country
boy and the summer boarder:
“We had on our farm one summer a
young man from the city who had a
horror of being stung by a bumblebee.
He had been told that if he were at
tacked he should see to It that his
head and face were protected, as the
bees would sting his face all out of
shape and if lodged in his hair would
sit and sting until they were tired.
“He was with us In the clover field
dne day, where the bees were unusual
ly thick. We were ‘doddering’ the
hay, or piling it in small piles against
an approaching rain, and were pretty
close to the mower. As the city chap
was stalking along between piles the
mower tore up the nest of some of
those little black bumblebees, and
they made for the youngster from
town. Some one shouted, and the
threatened victim made for a newly
piled ‘dodder 1 of hay. In he went
headforemost until his head and shoul
ders were covered.
“But the bees didn’t care about the
head and shoulders particularly. There
was a wriggling mass, it looked alive
and they went to it, and what they did
to the exposed part of that city chap
was n-plenty. A muffled yell from the
interior of the dodder followed, and
hay went scattering in all directions.
The city chap arose to his feet madder
than a wet hen.
“ ‘I may be from the city and green,’
he shouted, ‘but I think it Is a mighty
mean trick to scare a fellow like that
and then when he is trying to make
himself safe stick him with a pitch
fork. I can lick the man who did it.’ ”

One For Each Face.
A western politician had quite a rep
utation in his own town for successful
duplicity. It was generally believed
that his idea of party principles was to
work and vote with the winning side.
He once entered the store of a drug
gist who happened at the time to be
opposed to him politically.
"I want a jar of face cream,” he said.
“Be sanitary, Tom,” replied the drug
gist “Get two Jars.”—Success Maga
zine.
Why the Teacher Wept.
Every scholar was wearing his best
clothes, and every face was beaming
brightly. And the teacher’s eyes
watched grimly lest one small slip
should spoil the record of her class,
for it was the annual inspection, and
the fierce looking man who called him
self inspector was putting the pupils
through their paces.
“Now, boys,” he called, “I want you
to tell me what is a blizzard.”
Silence reigned.
“What is a blizzard?” demanded the
ferocious one.
And still silence reigned.
The teacher glared at the top boy,
then nodded to encourage him, and at
last there came a look of pleading in
her eyes. Almost she wept
Slowly the top boy’s hand went up.
“Yes?” snapped the inspector. “Go
on. Tell me—what is a blizzard?”
“P-please, sir,” stammered the youth
ful encyclopedia, “it’s the—the inside
of a hen!”—London Answers.
Thoroughly Inspected.
Goethe was so often intruded upon

Surprised for the moment, the stran

and, without being in the least discon

slowly around Goethe, inspected him

Journalistic.
The Baltimore News seems dis
gruntled at some New York paper for
memorizing “Dickens day” by pub
lishing Thackeray letters. Looks like
it is almost as bad to be careless about
biography as it is about history.
The Cumberland Times erred some
time ago in publishing an item, in
curred a damage suit and Thursday
evening a jury assessed the damage
at $3,500. That sort of thing tends to
make newspapers that publish “all

papers.

c Frostburg, Md., Feb. 7, 1912.
1 Hon. Ogleby Marbury, Chairman of
the Committee on Ways and Means,
House of Delegates, Annapolis, Md.
Dear Sir —The measure offered by
Delegate Walter W. Wittig for the
institution of a Hospital at Frostburg,
Md., is one which is much needed,
and the people in this section are
deeply interested, this town being sit
uated in the very heart of the Georges
Creek Coal Region, where thousands
of coal miners, mine laborers, railroad
men and others are employed at ex
tremely hazardous work, which means
that we have a great many accidents
during a year.
The present State Mine Inspector
recommended a Miners Hospital in his
last report, stating that “it is some
thing badly needed in the Mining
Region.”
We all believe and feel that every
sympathy and help should be extend
ed to those toilers who unfortunately
meet with accident, and we think we
should have in our midst a Hospital
where the injured can receive treat
• ment as promptly as the dead are
cared for.
’ At present those who are killed in
I or about the mines or on the railroads
( are brought at once to Frostburg to
be prepared for burial. The injured
have to be taken to Cumberland, 11
miles farther from home than the dead
are carried. The pain, exposure and
loss of blood incurred in a journey to
a Cumberland hospital have caused
many a death.
e We, therefore, appeal to you, Mr.
• Marbury, and to your Committee to
relieve the existing condition in this
region by favoring and supporting the
Miners Hospital bill, introduced by
7 Mr. Walter W. Wittig, backed by our
Mayor end Councilmen to the extent
0 of a site for the same, and also by the
Ministerial Association and Board of
Trade.
Frostburg is located in the moun
tains, 2,200 feet above sea-level. This,
3 with its excellent supply of pure
water and air, make it a healthy and
e ideal location for a Hospital.
1 The scenery in these mountains is
noted for its grandeur and beauty.
The transportation facilities are
good and will be better when the
y Western Maryland Railroad is com
:- pleted, which will be within about
.- three months.
r Therefore, we sincerely hope your
Committee’s report will be favorable.
Allegany Legislative Affairs.
State House, Annapoeis, Md., Feb
ruary B—Frostburg has come into the
limelight again this week in the Gen
eral Assembly through the introduc
tion yesterday by Delegate Walter W.
Wittig in the House of a bill provid
ing for an appropriation of $25,000 for
the establishing of the Miners Hospital
to be located in Frostburg. The bill
has been referred to the Committee
on Ways and Means, to which Mr.
Metzger’s Normal School Appropria
tion Bill was likewise referred. Hon.
Ogle Marbury, organization Democrat
and floor leader, of Prince George’s
county, is chairman, and Hon. W. T.
Warburton, Republican floor leader,
of Cecil county, is a member. Mr.
Wittig has begun active work in be
half of the bill and has lost no oppor
tunity to explain its necessity and ad
vantages to members of the Legislat
ure from every section of the State.
He has conferred with Mr. Marbury
and Mr. Warburton and they have
discussed the merits of the measure
with sufficient detail to give these
prominent members of the House and
the committee a thorough knowledge
of the measure. The entire Allegany
representation in both the House and
Senate are enthusiastic in their work
in behalf of the Hospital. Prominent
members in both branches have been
approached upon the subject and by
the end of the week every member of
the Legislature will know something
concerning the Miners Hospital. In
the meantime, everyone interested in
the passage of the bill should lose no
time in sending letters and petitions
favoring the measure to members of
the Delegation, Senator Zihlman and
the chairman of the Committee on
Ways and Means.
Delegate Metzger is daily anticipat
ing notice from the Ways and Means
Committee relative to a hearing on
the State Normal School $50,000 Ap
propriation Bill, and is holding him
self in readiness to argue the matter
before the committee. If necessary,
Mr. Metzger will be reinforced by the
other members of the Allegany Dele
gation.
Mr. Metzger has introduced another
bill, this one prohibiting spitting in
passenger cars on railroads and electric
railways. Under the present anti
spitting law no provision is made for
the immediate arrest of the offender.
Delegate Metzger’s bill empowers
conductors, brakemen and motormen
to make arrests at once and to take
them before the nearest Justice of
the Peace at next convenient stopping
place, and gives such Justices of the
Peace jurisdiction in such cases. The
full text of Mr. Metzger’s Anti-Spit
ting Law, which is a State-wide
measure, is as follows:
A Bill entitled “An Act to add a new
Section to Article 43 of the Code of
Public General Laws, title, ‘Health,’
sub-title, ‘Nuisances,’ to follow Sec
tion 106, and to be designated as
Section 106A.
“Section 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of Maryland, That
a new Section be and the same is
hereby added to Article 43 of the Code
of Public General Laws, title, ‘Health,’
sub-title, ‘Nuisances,’ to follow Sec
tion 106, to be designated as 106A,
and to read as follows:
“106A. It shall be unlawful for any
person to expectorate or spit on the
floors, sides, seats or platforms of any
railroad or railway passenger cars,
(either steam or electric), in this State,
under a penalty of Five Dollars. And
for the purposes of this Act all rail
road or railway conductors, brakemen
or motormen running on passenger
trains or electric cars are empowered
to arrest such offenders and take them
before the nearest Justice of the
Peace at the next convenient stop of
said train or electric car within this
State for trial, and such Justices are
given jurisdiction in the case. In de
fault of the payment of the fine and
costs, any party so convicted shall be
sentenced to jail for not more than
five days.
“Section 2. And be it enacted,
That this Act shall take effect from
its passage and shall repeal all Acts
or parts of Acts inconsistent here
with.”
Delegate Greene has introduced his
bill empowering and authorizing the
Commissioners of Western port to con
demn property in the putting in of the
town’s water system. When the bill
was passed two years ago providing
for the issuing of bonds for the water
system, this provision was omitted,
and the present bill supplies the de
ficiency. The bill was referred to the
Committee on Judiciary.
A bill was introduced Wednesday,
asking for an appropriation of $600,000
for the State Normal School in Balti
more. This large amount being asked
for Normal School No. 1, should have
the effect of making the request for
$50,000 for Normal School No. 2, at
Frostburg, appear modest and neces
sary in comparison, and should
strengthen the Frostburg proposition
and improve the chances of its
passage.
Mr. George J. Wittig, of Frostburg,
has registered in the office of the Sec
retary of State as a “legislative agent”
with reference to good roads and pool
legislation. He is a brother of Dele
gate Walter W. Wittig.
The nomination of Peter Boyle, to
be a Justice of the Peace for Mount
Savage district, sent down by the
Governor, was, on motion of Senator
Zihlman, of Allegany count3 r , con
firmed last Wednesday. This appor
tionment is to fill a vacancy and Mr.
Boyle’s term will expire on May 1,1912.
Mr. William A. Atkinson, of Lona
coning, has filed his application for
Election Supervisor with Governor
Goldsborough. Mr. Atkinson is a son
of the late William Atkinson, and was
a candidate in the recent primaries
for nomination for House of Dele
gates. The serious illness of his'father
at that time prevented Mr. Atkinson
from making a personal canvass; and
, his campaign practically went by
default; but notwithstanding this
handicap he received a very flattering
■ voluntary vote throughout the county.
Mr. Atkinson is a very competent and
capable young man and stanch
Republican. Mr. Daniel G. James, of
Lonaconing, is also an applicant for
. appointment to the same position.
Senator F. N. Zihlman has been in
: vited to deliver an address at the
i memorial exercises to be held in the
Senate Chamber on Tuesday next,
February 13th, in memory of the late
Hon. Louis McK. Griffith, of Calvert
county. Mr. Griffith had been a mem
ber of the House of Delegates for sev
eral terms, and had completed two
■ terms in the Senate with the session
of 1910, during which session he was
associated with Senator Zihlman.
During the debate in the House
; Wednesday on a favorable report
: from the Committee on Constitutional
Amendments, providing for a change
; in the condemnation laws, Delegate
Huster addressed the House in oppo
sition to the report, claiming that it
was a scheme to settle a dispute be
■ tween Baltimore city and Baltimore
1 county, and inasmuch as there is no
public demand for such a change, he
was opposed to subjecting the people
to the expense of publishing and vot
-1 ing on this proposed amendment. Mr.
1 Huster made an excellent speech and
1 the favorable report was rejected, and
’ later the bill was killed by tabling a
motion to recommit.
