A Needed Institution.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Garrett county is more than half
surrounded by West Virginia, and its
interests are closely associated with
those of the adjoining state.
1t lies in the midst of large area
which is entirely without any advan-
ced school, Eastward one must go
to Hagerstown, Shepherdstown or
Winchester, about 140 miles; west
ward to Morgantown, Fairmont and
Buckhannon, 70 to 10 miles. Other
directions do not count because of the
want of railroad accessibility.
A county containing a seminary or
an academy always furnishes very
large share of the students. And
then many families move where
schools are, so that their sons and
daughters may still have the advan-
tage of being at home. The nearer
the school the more likely the parent
can see his way clear to move to it.
That so very few students from coun-
ties like Preston and Tucker are
found at Fairmont and Buckhannon
is not because of an inferior educa-
tional interest. 1t is because the
great majority of the would-be stu
dents are virtually kept away by the
distance. An efficient, inexpensive
school within convenient reach could
secure a good attendance without
sensibly affecting the enrolment at
the schools mentioned.
Such a school is needed in this re
gion, and in particular the free
schools need more teachers of broad
er training than the usual facilities
can supply.
Big factories may crowd out small
factories, but big colleges do not
crowd out small colleges. The work
done in the latter is very often of the
best quality. The student is in closer
touch with his instructor and is more
likely to be surrounded by good
| influences. Such schools are also less
expensive.
This highland climate is very con
ducive to study at all times of the
year, and is likewise healthy. The
low cost of living will more than offset
the tuition fee, when we compare the
conditions found at most college
| towns.
If any parties should seek to start
such an enterprise, the people of the
locality would do well to give it all
the encouragement they can. They
should not feel that they are disloyal
to any of the schools already estab

y newspaper should stand or fall
on its merits and not on account OF
the dirty work it can do by undermin-
ing a contemporary.
No public spirited secular paper
will stoop to use any domination or
secret order to exalt itself or to injure
another And the organization that
willingly submits to be made tool
for such conspiracy lowers itself in
the estimation of the public. 1t is
stupid business to say the least.
Newspapers are educators of the
public mind. They educate either for
good or for evil. When they advocate
and uphold proper public improve
ments, the election of good men to
public offices. fair and square dealing
between man and man, honest rivalry
between business men for trade, and
and every business to stand or fall on
its true merit, then they are doing
good, doing right and deserve the pat
ronage of honest people.
But when a newspaper, or its man
agement, will stoop SO low as to go
around among the patrons of another
paper and try to persuade them to
give up their patronage, either as
subscribers or otherwise, on a pre-
text of denominational belief, or in
any other underhanded manner which
they are ashamed for the public to
know, then it is time, and high time,
for the people to stop and think, and
look before they leap.
No parent should allow a paper to
be read by his children that between
its lines teaches such an underhanded,
mean, dirty, way of doing business.
Such teaching is ruinous to the grow
ing generations. Such teaching
through newspapers is what causes
the spirit of anarchy to grow among
the people. 1t is deceitful and dis
honest. 1t is unpatriotic.
The true patriot not only wants to
live in free country himself. but he
wants his neighbors, as well, to liye
and enjoy the blessings of free coun-
try in which competition does not
mean treachery to the craft.
Every man in business has right,
and ought to use every honest effort
to build up his business and make it
prosperous, but no man, no matter
who he is, what his religious belief is,
or is not, has any right to try to tear
down his neighbor's business in order
to build up his own. There is no re-
ligion in that, it is devilish.
A merchant may build q large build
ing without undermining a neighbor
merchants business; farmer may
build big barns and raise big crops to
fill them without either injuring, or
trying to injure, his neighbor. 1t is
the same in all business. There is
room for all.
May the day be very, very far in the
distance when this paper will act so
mean, stoop so low, be so unpatriotic,
as to attempt to build up and exalt
itself to the injury of another. To all
its contemporaries the right hand of
fellowship is extended. May all pros
per in the right, for the right, by the
right. But we hope, earnestly hope,
that no newspaper management in
this State at least, will disgrace the
calling of the public press.

THERE is one fact which ought to
be obvious to even the most casual
observer, and this is that the ap-
preaching political campaign is to be
the liveliest ever fought out in this
State. This means that the country
newspaper man has an inviting field
before him, for at no time is the edi-
tors importance so great or is his pa
per read with as much interest as
when the political pot is boiling its
fiercest. Elections are not won by
torchlight professions and oratory.
Modern journalism has changed all
that. The battle is fought out in the
newspapers and the editor is the
strategist who marshals before his
readers the arguments pro and con
which sway the minds of the voters to
the one side or the eother.-DOrcheste

Very truly yours,
a DEER PARK VISITOR.
To the County Commissioners of Garrett

10 the county commissioners OF Jarrett
County,
DEAR SIRS The undersigned, Wis
itors to Deer Park, desire to call your
attention to the condition of all the
roads in this neighborhood, many of
which are so bad as to be very unsafe
for fine horses and light carriages, to
say nothing of greatly increasing the
risk of accidents.
As we are told the mending of the
roads is in the hands of various super
visors in the different localities and
all under the general charge of the
the Commissioners, we thought it best
so send our complaint direct to your
telves.
We would beg to call your atten-
ton to the hill between the hotel
property and the village of Deer Park
(Which runs between what used to be
Senator DaviS's barns), parts of the
Oakland road, the old Tramroad, the
Hooppole and the other road running
from it to the Oakland road above
Broadford, the Altamont road and
Boiling Spring, the new Mountain
road to Mountain Lake Park, and
others, not one of which is at present
the least pleasant to drive over and
upon each of which one risks danger
Gus and serious accidents and the
laming of horses.
Some of the roads have been run
over by the scraper and machine and
wherever this has been done countless
small and large stones are left lying
in the middle of the road-bed to be
scattered in every direction by the
unfortunate horses driven over them,
while many of the bridges are left
with large holes in them the Paradise
| bridge having been entirely washed
away.
The more successful this part of the
country becomes as Il summer resort
and the more summer visitors who
are attracted here thus creating a
market for everything raised, the
wealthier the entire community will
! become and certainly nothing could
be worse policy or initiate more
against the success of the place than
not one gOOd and only one tOlerable
road that between Oakland and Deer
! Park in the entire district.
Hoping that some measures can
promptly be taken to improve this
state of things for the benefit of resi-
dents as well as visitors, farmers and
city folks, we remain,
Very truly yours,

For purposes of citizenship a man
should be an American, pure and sim
pie. 1t ought not to make the slight
est difference where his birthplace
was or what his former allegiance
was. In taking the oath of allegiance
to the Emitted States he abjures that
former allegiance, and he ought to do
80 in fact as we'll as in form. He has
q right to vote as he pleases as an
American citizen, but has no moral
right to let that vote be influenced
by considerations of his former home
and allegiance The moment he does
that he makes America subordinate
TO the foreign land from which he
came. When he does that he is unfit
for American citizenship. If he
wanted to cherish the interests of the
old country above those of America
he should have stayed there, and not
come hither
This applies directly to those who
have come to this country and have
become naturalized citizens. 1t ap-
plies even more forcibly to those who
have been born in this country of i'm
migrant parents. Too often they as
sumo or retain the hyphenated name,
Tibeti-Americans, atiAinericans,
or whatever it may be, align them
selves politically according to theil
parents nationalities, and stick tC
their parents languages, and trans
init the same traits to their children
and to their children's children. 1t is
all wrong. We have, and should
have, citizens from all the lands of the
earth. But they should all be Amer
lean citizens-nothing more and moth
ing less. There is room here for citi
zens from all lands, but there is, o.
should be, room for only one kind o
citizens, and for only one kind o
American, the American American.

Hurt in a Saw Mill.

Aden Wilt, a young man employed
on the saw mill located near Frank
vile land owned by Mr.. p. NJ. Stem
pie, was struck in the stomach by
piece of timber which was thrown
back by the saw and painfully in
iured. The accident occurred one
day last week and gave rise to the
report in circulation in Oakland that
a man had been killed on the saw mill
by falling across the revolving saw
and cut to pieces.

An Imposing Parade, Followed by Con-
CertS at the Park and Fireworks
on Training Ground.

Everybody agreed last night that the
city council committee on the Fourth
of July celebration had done it's work
in a most satisfactory manner, and
there is no doubt that much of the
great success of the municipal celebra-
ton was due 10 the fact that the chair
man of the committee, Councilman
Burmah E. Perkins. has had consider
able experience on the Fourth of July
committees in previous years. Every
detail for the celebration was carried
out without a hitch, and it is doubtful
IL any Improvement In the plans could
have been made
There were very few accidents i'm
deed yesterday. and fortunately, none
that were serious. In fact, il may be
said that. despite what might have APP
peared to one from the country ois-
tricts, the day was much quieter than
usual. The fire department had fewer
calls than usual on the Fourth and
this was probably largely due TO the
action of the city council i'm prohibiting
the sale of fire crackers within the city
limits IL was a big day for Providence
and the Fourth OF July committee has
a right TO be proud OF its success.

The final feature of the days celebra.
tion was the exhibition OF fireworks on
the Dexter Training ground, and the
number OF people that gathered 10 wit
ness the display was enormous. Ii was
an ideal night for fireworks. there be-
ing no moon, and everybody was de-
lighted. The set pieces were arranged
on the end OF the field nearest Grams
ton street, while at the other end was
band stand, from which the Hedley-
Livsey band gave concert during tha
evening. The display OF 81 individual
numbers, Including some six devices or
set pieces and almost innumerable
rockets, aeridi guns, immense bombs
batteries of variegated stars, hangine
gardens, peacock plumes. mines, sau-
cissons, etc, and illuminations OF the
entire grounds i'm different colors, was
carried out without hitch.
The set pieces were quite elaborate
and several patriotic devices were
shown, among which the American fiag
and the portraits OF Admiral Dewey
and Admiral Sampson were received
with cheers and applause when they
In spite of the immense
concourse of people the detail of police
had very little TO do. People were hap.
py and made no trouble. The fireworks
were over at 3 o'clock. but the concert
until 10 o'clock and many
remained until the official program for
the Day came to an end.

not immediately start for the steam

rest until early IN the afternoon when
