OHIO ]. KELLER DEAD.


OHIO j. KELLER DEAD.
End Of a Busy and Successful
Life. A we'll known Business
Man, Popular and Highly
Esteemed.
Mr.. Ohio j. Keller, one of the
best known and most successful
business men of Frederick, died
at the home of his SOn-in law.
Mr.. Raymond G. Ford, on West
Church Street, Saturday night
last, after only two days illness
of vertigo, followed by paralysis.
This community and his many
friends and relatives throughout
the county, where the deceased
was widely known, were greatly
shocked by the sad tidings, as
many only knew of his illness in
the same breath that told of his
death. He was surrounded by
his stricken family when the spark
of life was extinguished, taking
from our midst one of our most
progressive and highly esteemed
citizens.
The deceased has been a resident
of BuckeystOwn since he was
quite young, having moved there
with his parents from Sharpsburg,
Washington County, the place of
of his birth, in 1S43. Young
Keller, for several years during
and after the Civil war, was con
ductor on the b. & o. Railroad,
which occupation he gave up and
began the lime burning business,
with which he has been identified
ever since. Later he enlarged
his business and the concern now
has a plant at Engle's, West Vir-
ginia. Besides this enterprise he
was interested in the Buckeyes
town Canning Factory, a director
of the Citizens National Bank,
and one of the promoters of the
same, director of the Gathers
burg bank, and, for many years,
up to the LIST of June, when he
withdrew from the co-partnership,
member of the firm of Keller,
Newman Il Co., coal dealers. He
also had other financial interests
which brought him in a consider
cradle income. He was consid
cred man, very well off in this
worlds goods, and owed his sue
cess solely to his hard work and
business qualifications. Several
years ago he took up his residence
in Frederick where he could bet
ter look after his varied interests.
He was member of the MethO-
dist Protestant Church and was
of generous and charitable ma
ture. His home life was happy
and he did everything to promote
domestic felicity.
He leaves six children: Messrs.
William o. Keller, John f. Keller,
Ohio j. Keller, Jr.; Miss Lille
Keller, Mrs. Raymond G. Ford and
Miss Bertha L. Keller. He is sur
vived by five brothers: Jno. NJ.
Keller, Frank j. Keller, Z. l.. Kel-
Ter, G. E. Keller and Thomas III.
Keller. His funeral took place on
Tuesday morning. Services were
conducted by Rev. Strayer, of
Buckeystown, assisted by Rev.
Osborne Ingle, of All Saints
Episcopal Church. The pail.
bearers were: Judge James Nc
Sherry, Joseph d. Baker, VIM. G.
Baker, Douglas H. Hargett, Frank
l.. Stoner and Jacob M. Newman.
Interment was made in Mt. Olivet
Cemetery. W. III. B. Etchison
was the undertaken.

= The San Francisco 'Argonaut" seems
bent upon exciting the wage-earners
of the country against the Administra-

peating that the Filipinos are now cit

have perfect freedom under the Consti-
tuition and the laws to come and to go
as do other citizens. Therefore, it ar
CUES, the wage-earners of the United
States are in imminent danger of cruel
and unequal competition with them.
1t comedies, however, that it has been
decided by the United States Circuit
Court for this coast that the inhabi-
tants of an unorganized territory are
not in fact citizens, and that they are
subject to the regulations Congress
may set up in definition of their priv
ileges and rights. Its plea is, there
fore that Congress, in which the Re
publican party is now dominant, shall
provide against the competition feared
though the decision of Judge Morrow
may be good law, of which the AR
gonaut' expresses doubt
There is no doubt about it. 1t has
been so held time and again and by the

THE EARTHQUAKE.

The severe earthquake shock in sew
eral counties of the southern end OF
the State on Christmas morning did
considerable damage to property, and
a few lives are reported lost. But the
seismic disturbance did infinitely less
damage and destroyed fewer lives than
any one of the cyclonic storms or biz
yards which the sections of the central
and north Mississippi valley expert
ence every season.
There have been no earthquakes in
Southern California in many years be-
fore the one now recorded. There has
been none in Central and Northern
California since 1892 that amounted to
more than a scarcely perceptible wave
of the crust of the earth. AS at this sea-
son there is always quite large BODY
of Eastern visitors in the southern
counties, we may expect them to send
home stories of the event that will be
full of sensational description and terri
flying narrative. The Eastern visitor is
aggerate these disturbances. But all
the earthquakes California has ever ex-
perienced in $50 years have not done
as much damage or destroyed life TO
the extent that is the result Of a single
cyclone in the Middle West, nor, for
the matter of that. of a single blizzard
Of the prairie section of the Mississippi
Valley.
Of course, the Southern California
earthquake will, for a. short time, check
incoming tourist travel. That always
follows such scares. But the fright will
not last long. When the people Of the
East come to consider the facts and
the history of seismic disturbances in
this State they will realize that they
are really more in danger in their East
ern homes than beneath the fair skies
of this favored State.
In the meantime, it is the duty of the
press to state the exact truth about
earthquakes with us, to conceal moth
ing. and to see to it that exaggeration
and intensifying sensationalism as it
rolls eastward is checked in it's course
by the simple truths Of our history
OF that record we need have no fear
whatever Come to think of it, earth
quakes in Eastern States in the last
twenty years have been quite as nu-
merous as on this coast, which never
as that which so badly wrecked the
city of Charleston, S. c., a few years
ago.

There is no question whatever that
Congress has the power to provide sucn
regulation for the government of the
inhabitants of the Philippines as 1t
deems wise.
The inhabitants of the newly ac-
quired possessions are not subject TO
the Constitution as are people IN
States and organized Territories, except
as Congress extends the Federal Stat
utes over them. The "Argonaut" might
consult on that point ia U. S. Reps, A
139 u. S. Reps, 446; 90 Fed. Reps,
205; sc Fed. Reps, 459; IS Wall, 319;
l Deadly, 81; 152 U. S., 4S; 3 Howard,
344, and many other authorities. The
inhabitants of the Philippines, as Mr..
Gardiner, in his brief on the subject,
has well said, acquire no civil fights
or political status except such as are
guaranteed by the treaty and are
granted by Congress. "They acquire
no rights under our Constitution and
Federal statutes ex proprio vigore."
Chief Justice Marshall early in our
history declared q Pet, $40 that a ter
ritory annexed does not acquire rights
ipso facto from the Constitution, but
only those stipulated by treaty or
granted by the new master" JUS
tees Bradley, Brewer and the entire
Supreme bench have since repeatedly
so held, namely that as all rights in
such acquisitions are created by Con-
gress and therefore none spring from
the Constitution, they are all subject to
the action of Congress and therefore
are not fixed by the Constitution.
There need be no question whatever
about Congress protecting our home
people from any industrial or other Wis
itation by the Filipinos. The Filipino
is lazy, has no love for work, is not
migratory, cannot live outside his own
warm zone, and will not one whit i'm
peril any American industry by reason
of immigration. All fear of that may
be dismissed as chimerical
