APT PHRASE.
The philosopher up North who char
acterized “the initiative, referendum
and recall” as “The Unholy Trinity of
Folly” could not have defined the
combination more succinctly.
The Journae has tried to substitute
some apter term for “unholy,” and
some more decisive word for “folly,”
but feels at last compelled to desist
from all attempts at amendment.
The expression should be adopted
by all real republicans and real demo
crats as a slogan when and wherever
the “trinity” is proposed as a remedy
for popular mistakes under the current
system of self-government.
SURE THING.
The evidences of a good thing
multiply.
The Textile Manufacturers Journal
says —•
“The situation among woolen manu
facturers has become so strong that a
very bright future is ahead for the
trade in general.”
A prophecy based upon a provision
indispensable to human comfort—to
continue while the race exists.

Picture Shows.
Byman H. Howe’s pictures at Frost
burg Opera House Wednesday even
ing good as usual, and next evening
the “Marshall P. Wilder” story of the
series was one of the very best ever
told a crowd, always disposed to laugh,
via the stage screen.
Am Important Meeting.
The stockholders of the Western
Maryland Poultry Association will
meet at the Cumberland and Penn
sylvania Railroad station, Bonaconing,
next Tuesday evening, Sth inst., to
elect officers for the ensuing year and
select the next place of exhibit.
After the business session a “smo
ker” will be indulged.
For the exhibit next winter Frost
burg is a candidate, and as it is Frost
burg’s “turn,” Frostburg would seem
to enjoy a preferential claim upon the
distinction.
The Journai, believes, moreover,
that if the Association will come here
next time the town will help it outdo
any previous accomplishment in the
poultry-show line.

Allegany Legislative Affairs.
State House, Annapoeis, Md.,
February 28. —Notwithstanding the
fact that the Ten-Hour Baw for
Workingwomen, the introduction of
the Child Babor Bill, the Women Suf
frage Amendment Bill, ex-President
Roosevelt’s presidential announce
ment and several other more or less
important legislatve and political
matters have engaged the serious
attention of the members of the
General Assembly during the week,
the Miners’ Hospital and Normal
School Appropriation Bills have not
been allowed to be forgotten or over
looked for a single day. Members of
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, especially Chairman Marbury
and Delegate Warburton, the leading
Republican member of the committee,
have been kept fully advised concern
ing the great importance to the people
of Western Maryland of the very
meritorious measures. Had the com
mitteemen made up their minds
arbitrarily to pigeonhole these bills or
to report them unfavorably, they
would have given some manifestation
of their intention; but to the contrary,
they are still discussing both bills
and individual members are asking
questions and informing themselves
upon both propositions. It is learned,
through a semi-official source, that
the members of the committee, as a
feeler, have informally discussed the
feasibility of reducing the appropria
tions, and that, so far as the Miners’
Hospital is concerned, it is practically
certain that the amount asked for
that institution will not be cut —it will
be either favorably reported for the
original amount or reported unfavor
ably. It is conceded by members of
the committee that an institution such
as will be required for a Miners’
Hospital cannot be established for
any sum less than $25,000, and that if
the amount asked for is “shaved” at
all it will practically kill the project—
either that or compel the promoters
to take on the burden of a mortgage
indebtedness at the very start, and
this will not be a wise thing to do,
seriously handicapping, as it will, a
charitable and philanthropic institu
tion. It is reasonably certain, there
fore, that the committee will do one
of two things: first, report the bill
favorably for the full amount; or,
second, return it with an unfavorable
report. This situation, if true, is
really the best that can be hoped for,
because it gives the friends of the
measure two chances —one before the
committee for a favorable report, and,
failing in that, to make the fight on
the floor to substitute the bill for the
unfavorable report. It is apparent,
therefore, that the proper thing for
the people of Frostburg and Allegany
county—particularly throughout the
mining region and Garrett county—to
do is to push the fighting for a favor
able report, and send letters, petitions
and delegations to the committee,
urging them to make a favorable re
port. In this way they will also, at the
same time, fortify and reinforce the
delegation, if it becomes necessary to
make a fight on the floor, either to
substitute the bill or to contend for
its passage. Everything has been
and is being done at this end, and it
is up to the people themselves whether
or not the bill for the Miners’ Hospital
shall fail.
As for the Normal School Appropri
ation Bill, it has been suggested, with
some seriousness on the part of the
committee, that the amount of
the appropriation be reduced from
$50,000 to $20,000. It is contended by
the supporters of this proposition that
it is not necessary to make an appro
priation for all the improvements at
one session, that $20,000 will build the
dormitories and some other of the im
provements specified in the bill, and
. that two years from now an appropri
ation for the completion of the list
can be made, thus accomplishing the
purposes of the bill without injuring
the school or asking too much in the
way of money at this time. This
argument has found favor amomg
some of the members and especially
some of those of the committee, and
it will be a difficult one to combat.
: Delegate Metzger has worked hard
for the entire amount of the appro
. priation, and has not shown any signs
of giving up the fight. He is plainly
: discouraged, however, so far as secur
ing the entire sum is concerned, but
he is still pegging away and hoping
he will yet be able to persuade the
committee to make a favorable report
for $50,000. In this case, as in that of
' the Hospital Bill, much can be done
through individual effort and the
1 people should make a final rally and
’ bombard the committee energetically
\ and convincingly in behalf of both
appropriations.
At a recent meeting of the Baltimore
Federation of Babor a resolution was
' unanimously adopted endorsing the
Frostburg Miners’ Hospital Bill.
Copies of the resolutions were sent to
\ the Ways and Means Committee.
. Delegate Wittig Monday night of
■ fered the resolutions of the Mayor
i and Town Council of Frostburg en
l dorsing the Miners’ Hospital in the
■ House, and they were referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means. A
. public hearing before the committee
. will probably be arranged for next
■ week.
Tuesday afternoon, after a hot de
-1 bate, the House Committee on Babor
decided by a vote of 5 to 4 to report
1 the 10-hour law for workingwomen
favorably with the amendment asked
for by the canners, and turning down
Footer’s Dye Works, of Cumberland.
■ The fight for Footer will now be made
l on the floor of the House.
Delegate Metzger’s Anti-Spitting
’ Bill, authorizing the immediate arrest
| of violators and giving magistrates
“at the next convenient stop” juris
' diction, passed the House by a yea
and nay vote Tuesday, after Mr.
Metzger had briefly explained the
\ purposes of the bill.
: The bill amending the Bonaconing
, City Primary Baw was passed to its
i third reading Monday night, as was
- also the bill changing the time for the
> collection of county taxes in Allegany
i county.
Delegate Bong got in some good
’ work for the Mine Bureau Bill when
he appeared before the Senate Finance
Committee last Thursday morning.
> Mr. Bong was introduced by Senator
1 Zihlman, and was the only one who
i talked of the measure. The Garrett
5 county delegate makes no claim to
- oratory, but he conducted himself
■ admirably in presenting the necessity
-for a Mine Bureau and additional
• Mine Inspectors before the committee.
- Mr. Bong showed he had made some
, research and had informed himself
1 concerning the situation and the
t merits of the case. He showed that
f in 1897, the first report of the Mine
- Inspector available, there were but 17
> mines, and that in the last report of
1910-11 there are 103, and one man is
; expected now to give the same close
l attention and make the same thorough
, inspection of 103 mines as he could
1 do of 17 mines, when the bill was
- passed creating the office. He told
- the committee that it is impossible for
one Mine Inspector to do the work
according to the law and do it well,
and the committee agreed with him.
He showed further that while there
were 1% fatal accidents for every
1,000 employees at that time, there
are now more than 2in each 1,000,
and that this increase is due largely
to the impossibility of the Mine In
spector to properly inspect the mines.
There were 5 fatal accidents in 1897
and 24 in 1910-11. Mr Bong went into
the matter of the loss to the mine
owners because of lack of attention of
the Mine Inspector and argued that
frequent competent inspection would
save the operators large sums of
money now being lost through de
struction of coal, machinery, equip
ment and human life. Senator Camp
bell, of Baltimore City, chairman of
this committee, asked Delegate Bong
several questions, indicating his keen
interest in the proposition, and the
impression Mr. Bong made on the
committee was a decidedly favorable
one.
Delegate Bong is a practical miner,
having some years ago worked in the
mines in both Allegany and Garrett
counties, quitting the mines about five
years ago. He has introduced a bill
to increase the assessment under the
Employers’ Biability Act, or “Com
pensation” Bill, now in force in Alle
pany and Garrett counties. The
assessment now provided by the law
has proven to be insufficient, and the
. fund is constantly behind in its pay
ments to the men for being disabled
by accident, and paying the claims in
. cases of fatal accidents. It is the
purpose of his amendment to the bill
to increase the assessment sufficient
, to meet all requirements. It will also
• repeal the provision which now en
ables one county to borrow from the
other when necessary. This has not
■ operated satisfactorily between the
■ two counties, according to Mr. Bong,
and he will have this portion of the
law repealed. While the assessment
. at present is the same in both counties,
. Mr. Bong says the demands have been
: greater upon the Garrett county fund
than that in Allegany county and
they have consequently fallen behind,
. being at one time as much as $5,000
. in arrears on payments, and now
. being upwards of $2,000. His amend
l ment affects only Garrett county and
will make no change in Allegany’s
\ assessments for this purpose.
> Another bill that will affect the
' mining industry, as well as all others
: in Allegany county and throughout
; the State, is that of Senator Hammond,
i of Howard county, which provides
1 that all corporations in the State shall
; pay their employees weekly instead of
i semi-monthly as now. The bill
' amends the present law only in that
r particular, and merely strikes out the
: words “semi-monthly,” and inserts
> the word “weekly.” In speaking of
" this measure Senator Hammond says
3 the purpose of the amendment is to
i do away with the “company” or “com
" missary” stores; that with the ready
; money in their hands which weekly
- pays will give, the workingmen of the
5 State will be able to purchase where
5 and when they please without de
r pending upon obtaining credit at the
1 “commissary.” The bill has not met
t with favor among the members of the
r House, and inasmuch as there are
1 neither “company stores” nor “com
missaries” in either Allegany and
. Garrett counties, it is unlikely that
5 these delegations, at least, will favor
2 a measure that will subject the mining
f companies and other large industries
1 to the additional extra cost of weekly
j pay days, and there is a disposition to
t have both Allegany and Garrett
_ counties exempted from the provis
t ions of this amendment in the event
; of its passing the Senate and coming
. over to the House.
1 The Allegany County Road Bill,
- which had been introduced and re
t ferred to the Ways and Means Com
i mittee in the House, was returned to
; to the House by that committee on
i Thursday last and referred by the
s Speaker to the Allegany county dele
; gation, as recommended by the Ways
i and Means Committee. The Allegany
I delegation inserted an amendment
. making the cost for publishing the
i quarterly reports of the Road Direct
- ors out of the regular fund, and re
s ported the bill favorably at Tuesday’s
f session, when it was ordered engrossed
-for third reading.
*• Delegate Greene’s bill, empowering
I the Town Commissioners of Western

t sary to further the laying of water

® in the Senate.
Senator Zihlman made a hit in the
Senate last week, when the orders
and bills connected with the proposed
investigation of the Public Service
e Commission were under consideration,
s Senator Zihlman came under the dis
e pleasure of Senator Bee, of Mont
. gomery county, who declared that the
o “Senate of Maryland is composed of
a few Democrats and some irrespons
ible Republicans.” At the first op
portunity Senator Zihlman took the
floor in defense of the Republican
minority, and his castigation of Sen
e ator Bee and the issues he represented
was made in his address with great
e fervor. He also made a comparison
j. of some of the acts of the “irrespons
ible” minority with those of the Dem
ocrats, particularly those measures
- which were especially pleasing to
r Senator Bee. Senator Zihlman was
t unusually caustic and severe on the
i Montgomery Senator, who flushed and
I squirmed and gave other notable
i manifestations of his annoyance and
.. embarrassment. It is said that Sen
e ator Bee had not had such a complete
going over this session, and the Alle
r gany statesman was generously com
plimented upon his eloquence, force
and sarcasm. It was one of Senator
Zihlman’s best efforts and was de
' livered without preparation.
One night last week, accepting an
e invitation to join the Allegany county
representatives in General Assembly,
r the Mining Journal's Annapolis cor
’ respondent found himself the guest of
s honor at a Dutch luncheon at the
Cardes restaurant. After participat
ing of a very elegant lunch, Senator
’ Zihlman, at the request of Toast
master Wittig, gave your representa
d tive the first intimation that the
n function was given for a purpose,
e Senator Zihlman said that the mem
'. bers ot the Begislature from Allegany
r county had not had a close personal
o acquaintance with the correspondent
:t before coming to the Begislature this
o session, and had known him more by
f reputation. This had caused them to
y decide to treat him with due respect
J and proper courtesy, and to note the
:. manner in which the correspondent
e treated them in return. Senator Zihl
f man then spoke in highly compli
e mentary terms of the result of the
t experiment and declared they had
e each found in the Allegany county
7 newspaper correspondent a friend and
f an advocate—one who has, on every
s occasion and at every opportunity,
e promoted the interests of the people
h whom they represent and the county
d in general, as well as according to the
s members every consideration and
d kindness. He spoke at some length
r in a eulogistic strain, concluding by
k presenting to your correspondent a
substantial testimonial of their last
ing friendship and good will. If the
Mining JopRNAE representative was
surprised when he learned that the
luncheon was given in his honor, he
was taken off his feet, figuratively
speaking, when the Senator made the
presentation. He thanked his good
friends 'for their great goodness and
expressions of esteem and assured
them that his efforts, however pleas
ing, had been directed by a motive
only to advance the interests of Alle
gany county and its people, and to
see that the members received simple
justice and proper recognition for
their earnest and faithful work in the
Begislature. After these remarks,
Delegates Wittig, Huster, Herpich
and all the members of the party
spoke to similar purpose, and then
adjournment was taken to the lower
floor where excellent instrumental
and vocal music was rendered by
artists invited specially for this occa
sion. It was a very happy and enjoy
able event, and one which your cor
respondent will remember as one of
the most pleasant incidents of his life.
The affair was exclusively stag and
the party was composed of Hons. F.
N. Zihlman, William A. Huster, Walter
W. Wittig, Conrad J. Herpich, Simeon
H. Duckworth and J. O. J. Greene;
Squire C. Edgar Keller, Mr. R. R.
Bane, of the Baltimore Star , and J. J.
Robinson and son, Mr. Harry H. Rob
inson, who is in Annapolis.
A petition, signed by all the mem
bers of the faculty of the Bonaconing
Central High School, has been re
ceived by the Allegany delegation,
asking that the age limit be taken out
of the bill retiring teachers on a pen
sion who have attained the age of 60
years and who have been in the ser
vice for 25 years. The petitioners be
lieve that any teacher who has served
for 25 years should be entitled to a
pension upon application, whatever
his or her age may be at the comple
tion of a quarter of a century in the
service.
Senator Zihlman will introduce a
bill providing for a prison labor com
mission and forbids the employment
of inmates of penal institutions in
contract work. They may, however,
be employed in such work as may be
necessary for supplying the needs of
similar institutions, the directors of
all penal institutions in the State
being compelled to purchase from one
another through the prison labor com
mission. Prisoners may perform the
labor necessary for the making of any
public convenience, such as improved
roads and public buildings. As many
: as possible of the inmates are to be
employed in argicultural, horticultural
; andfloriculturalpursuits. “Thisbill,”
says Senator Zihlman, “emanates from
, a national organization interested in
: prison labor, and is along the lines of
, legislation intended to be nation-wide. ’ ’
Delegate Wittig has introduced a
bill providing for the publication of
all primary and election notices, as
well as fac simile ballots in two news
; papers outside of Cumberland and
two newspapers published in Cumber
’ land, the expense of such publications
1 to be paid by the Election Supervisors
' from funds appropriated for their use.
’ At present the notices usually appear
in Cumberland newspaper only, and
’ the purpose of the bill is to dissemi
. nate the information contained in
; these advertisements among the read
ers of other newspapers in other sec
‘ tions of the county.
>
, Bast Friday morning, in a heated
, argument in a meeting of the House
- Committee on Babor, when the 10-
. hour law for women was being con
l sidered, Delegate Greene, who is a
- member of the committee, refused to
allow a motion to amend the bill satis
factorily to the canning industry to
’ be made, unless Footer’s Dye Works,
of Cumberland, was either exempted
from the provisions of the bill or an
’ average number of hours per year was
l embodied in an amendment to suit
' this industry. The debate was fast
' and furious, but Mr. Green would not
’ give way and the matter went over to
r a subsequent meeting of the commit
tee. Mr. Green succeeded in interest
' ing several other members of the com
mittee in the merits of his contention
" and they stuck to the issue until the
J committee meeting was adjourned.
Senator Zihlman has introduced a
r bill compelling pawnbrokers in Alle
-1 gany county to keep a record of all
. loans made bj r them, together with
- the name of the borrower, a descrip
j tion of the property pledged and the
, amount of the loan, said books and
records to be open to the County Com
missioners or their agent or committee
' at all times; the pawnbrokers are not
l allowed to charge more than 3 cents on
the dollar each month on loans made
' on goods and chatties, the same to be
' computed upon the principal sum ad
vanced. A fine of SIOO for the first of
[ fense and a light fine and imprison
; ment in jail for 30 days for the second
and each subsequent offense, is pre
scribed in the bill.
; Messrs. W. G. Kraus, of Cumber
t land, and O. B. Grove, of Washing

t- pich. Mr. Grove formerly resided in
