A few pertinent questions W ere pro-
pounded in our last issue relative to
the town administration and the col
umns of this paper offered the officials
for defense. AS none has been ten
dered the natural inference must be
that they have none to make.

The freight traffic east over the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad this
week has been heavy. Tuesday sever
al engines of the West Virginia Short
Line and the G. II. & V. r. r. passed
through Oakland drawing heavy
freight trains. At some points along,
the line the congestion of freight in
transit has been so heavy that pas
senger trains are in many instances
Knocked entirely out resulting in de-
lays of from one to three or four
hours.
We have a lengthy communication
on our table in reply to Silent Sam"
anent the Oakland-Sang Run road
controversy. This matter has been
aired pretty Thoroughly through the
county press and as both sides have
presented their case in these columns
we deem it in the interest of all con-
cerned to bring the matter to a focus,
and therefore the matter will not be
published. The only thing involved
in the controversy between the par
ties is question of veracity, some
thing in which the public generally
is not concerned.
Rey. DR.. Ezra X. Bell, of Balti more,
recently said: Many a mans bust
ness is his refrigerator. 1t freezes OUT
his religion. He lets it make him
cross and mean and selfish, or it
makes his heart so cold that you
can't find warm spot in it. Some
men think that religious fervor will
cripple them for business. They are
afraid to get their hearts warmed up,
they lose their tact and shrewd-
ness. But there never was a greater
mistake. There is nothing in the
world SO helpful and stimulating as
the spirit of religion in mans work.
Many a prominent statesman owes
the greater part of his success and
reputation to the newspapers, and
many others who have thought
themselves above journalistic inf1u-
ence, and have detied the press, have
learned at their cost that they blum
dered. 1t is often the case that an
aspiring politician has used the press
as ladder on which to mount to high
places and then has kicked the ladder
from under him. Such men usually
come to grief and learn too late that
they are not invulnerable. A fearless
and honest press is the foundation of
countrys greatness and the guar
dian of the peoples liberties.
The extension of the Garrett Coun-
ty Telephone Company's line from
Hoyes via Elder Hill to Friendsville

Another extension is being made
from Deer Park to the Fundenberg
farm and the farm of Abel Dewitt on
the north and to the Club House east
of Deer Park. This latter line will in
all probability be extended to Swan
ton at an early date, the arrange
