Death Claims Another.

James Nelson died at his late resi-
dence on East Main street, on Sun
day evening, March 1, at o'clock, of
Brights disease. He had been com
planning for five weeks, but was
only belfast since last Thursday.
The deceased was the eldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Nelson, who re-
side at Harrington Manor, five miles
from Oakland, Md. He was born at
Hamilton Hill, Scotland, March 1,
1867, being So years old the day of his
death. The family removed to Cum
berland, Nd, in 1870, and in 1874
came to Homecoming. In 1891 the de-
ceased secured employment on the B.

an extra brakeman; in 1894 he was
transferred to Chicago as yardmaster
in the b. & o. yards there; and later

ANTITRUST PROGRESS.

Following Judge Crosscup's decision
at Chicago, which halts the beef ba-
rons on the ground that their COM
bine is in restraint of trade, comes the
United States supreme courts decis-
ion at Washington in the Champion
lottery case, that Congress has full and
ample power to control interstate COM
merce and to say when such com.
merce should be prohibited. The
court declares in the lottery case that
lottery tickets are subjects of traffic
and when carried from one state to
another they become subjects of inter
state commerce, hence falling under
the laws regulating such commerce.
The court aff1rms the position
taken by Attorney General Knox in
his address before the Pittsburg
Chamber of Commerce, that no con-
stitutioual amendment is needed to
enable Congress to deal with trusts,
as that body has ample power to pass
laws actually forbidding the ship
ment of trust-made goods from one
state to another, when such commerce
is deemed inimical to public good.
All of which strengthens the Roose-
welt administration in it's determine
ton to check the power of trusts in
their purpose to restrain trade and
maintain monopolies in production
and transportation. Great bodies
move slowly, and deep-rooted evils
can not be abolished in day, but
President Roosevelt and Attorney
General Knox are proceeding stead
lily and surely in their policy to curb
the trusts. They have not yet lost a
legal point in the fight and they can
be trusted to safeguard the peoples
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1903-03-12

interests along this important line.
With the points thus gained must
be added the benefits contained in
the new law establishing the depart
ment of commerce and labor. Re
bates are forbidden, and publicity is
secured by the requirement that cor
porations must submit their books to
inspection. In this bureau of pub
licity, provision is made for inquiring
into the organization and conduct of
trusts, socalled, and trusts must keep
within the newly imposed lawful
limits or quit business. Thus the
first half of the Roosevelt administra-
ton witnesses important steps taken
in the direction of regulation and con-
trolling commerce and preventing its
abuses.

the railroads did not begin approach
ing the Alleghenies until about the
close of the first quarter Of that cen
fury The Naional pike was extend
ed to the Ohio river, as contemplated
and was then pushed across Ohio
and Indiana to the Illinois line with
sections of it built farther west, but
in 1888, when railroad building had
proceeded far enough to absorb the
country's atten ton to the exclusion
of the construction of turnpikes, the
appropriations for the National road
stopped. The imperious necessity of
improving and extending the present
public highways and Of constructing
others, as matter of national econ
omy, is forcing itself on the attention
of the United States. Those who aid
in this work, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, will deserve and receive
the plaudits of the American people.

A MOVE FOR GOOD ROADS.

In the days of the old National
road sometimes called the Cumber-
land road, and locally known as the
National pike, Henry Clay could ride
the whole length of that thorough
fare and be entertained at all the no.
tells on it's course without the cost of
single cent to himself. This honor
was extended to him because of his
activity and influence in getting the
road established and in constructing
and extending otFer highways at the
nations expense. Walter p Brown
low, one of Tennessee's members of the
popular branch of Congress, stands
some chance to link his name also
with the building and improvement
of highways through the country,
and several bodies of representative
men are working for the same object,
and will deserve some of the same
praise. Mr.. Brownlow's bill proposes
to enlist the general government, in
cooperation which the states, in the
work of road construction, extension
and improvement. His measure is
entitled" "A bill to create in the depart
ment of agriculture bureau to be
known as the bureau of public roads,
and to provide for system of nation
al, state and local cooperation in the
permanent improvement of the pub
lie highways" 1t proposes the ap-
preparation of $2O,O0O,OOO by the ma
tional government, to be used in con-
nection with sums set apart by states,
counties or towns for building and
maintaining public highways. State
highway commissioners in many parts
of the country are expressing their
approval of the project. Many of the
congressman favor it. Nobody now
alive remembers such interest in the
country at large in the question of
the construction and improvement of
the public highways as now exists.
When the first bill making an ap-
preparation for the National road from
Cumberland, on the Potomac, in
Maryland, to Wheeling, on the Ohio
was passed by congress in 1906, and
when the first actual work of construc-
ton began in 1911, the matter of get
ing communication between the At
lantic seaboard communities and the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys was a
subject of vital concern to the people
of the country. The steamboat had
uot been invented at the time when
the first bill was passed. In 1911,
when the work of building the road
actually started, the first steamboat
west of the Alleghenies went down
the Ohio and started on its route be-
tween New Orleans and Natchez. 1t
was dozen years after that time,
however, before steamboats, became
in any way numerous on eastern or
western waters. But the steamboat
did not meet the need of opening com
munication between the east and west.
The mountains stood in the way, and

VOLUME XVII; NO. l.

With this issue THE REPUBLICAN
enters upon its twenty-seventh
volume.
The paper was founded March 4,
1877, by Capt. James A. Hayden who
devoted thirteen years of hard work
to its publication, since which time it
has been under the control of it's
present management.
Ever since it's first issue THE RE-
PUBLICAN has enjoyed the confidence
of the people of Garrett county and
it is with a great degree of pleasure
for us to state that that confidence
has meyer been betrayed.
1t has put forth it's best endeayors
for the development of the county
and for the prosperity of it's citizens.
In return for this the paper has been
Loyalty supported.
1t starts upon the new volume un-
der very propitious circumstances
and we promise our patrons and
friends that we shall endeavor in the
year before us to make THE RRPUB-
LIcAN even more interesting and
readable than heretofore.
As in the past THE REPUBLICAN
will continue to be an exponent of
the principles of the great Republican
party-the party of progress and
prosperity.
In local matters it will continue to
give all the news of interest. Its col
umns are open to communications
from all the people so long as they
deal with matters pertaining to the
welfare of the public generally and
not descend to personalities or petty
differences.

specific sum has been appropriated
by the State at every session of the
General Assembly, presumably since
1S39-that is, the whole of Maryland's
share of the federal school fund of
1887 was put into the State treasury
to pay the public debt, and the sum
of 1914, 069,36 is yearly paid from the
State treasury to the free school fund.
How much of the total surplus fund
was the share of Maryland is not
known, but it must have been a large
figure, as an annual appropriation
of $34, 069,3 is obviously but part of
the interest, and it has meant oyer
100000 devoted to the support of
freeschoOls in the 66 years ensuing
since 1887. Connecticut received
$754,972 for a population of about
100000, and, as the fund was distri-
5uted according to population. Mary
land should haYe received over 81, 200.-
600 for population of about 100000
With fair rate of interest that
would give the $34, O69,36 every year,
with a constantly increasing residue
to be added to the principal
1t will be noticed that, although
the money was intended solely fol
the support of free schools, part Of
the interest goes to liquidating the
public debt.

EthbelI Falkenstein,

Ethbell Falkenstein, an account of
whose death and burial appeared in
this paper last week, deserves more
than passing notice.
Mr.. Falkenstein was born in what
is now Preston county, w. Va, near
Valley Point, ON the 10th of August,
1885. When young man he moved
to near GAINESVILLE, W. Va, where he
lived to the time of his death, He was
a successful farmer by occupation.
He united with the Ev. Lutheran
church when about IS years of age,
of which he was a faithful member,
highly esteemed and respected officer
for many years and constant attend
ant at the Lords Table. He led
quiet, unassuming and exemplary
life. He was an unselflsh and helpful
neighbor, kind and loving husband,
an indulgent father and an upright
citizen. Honest as the day was long
and man of his word. He lived such
life as to leave but few, if any, enc
mics. He will be missed in the home,
in the community and in the church.
He was sufferer for many years
from stomach trouble, also had heart
trouble. About three months ago he
suffered stroke of paralysis. This,
together with heart failure, was the
cause of his death. He died March 3,
1908. The funeral services were held
in the Lutheran church at Cranes
vile by Rev. E. Manages, of Oakland.
Rey. Mr.. Friend, pastor of the M. E.
church at GAINESVILLE, assisted in the
services.
Considering the condition of the
weather and the roads, the funeral
was very largely attended.
His remains were laid to rest in the
public cemetery of the village. NJ.

A GIFT TO THE STATE.
Over Two Million Dollars Donated Many
Years Ago.

Over Two Million Dollars Donated Many |
Years Ago.
Many Marylanders will be surprised |
to learn that every since 1887 this
State has appropriated for the sup
port of its public schools over $34, 900
from a federal grant distributed
among the States for educational
purpose by President Jackson when
the Treasury was overfiowing and
when there was no public debts. In
a message to Congress on December
/, 1884, President Jackson announced
the extinction of the public debt and
as the tariff still produced a large
surplus, he advocated the distribu-
ton of this surplus among the States
rather than appropriate it to other
purposes.
A bill providing for such distribu-
ton of the surplus was attached to the
bill regulating public deposits and
passed Congress in 1886. Under this
law all the money in excess of $1,000,
900 in the Treasury January l, 1887,
was to be deposited with the States
in proportion to their representation
in the Electoral College. and in four
installments. The States were re-
quired to give certificates of deposit
payable to the secretary of the Treas
ury on demand.
The sum distributed was $37, 46S,-
S59 Three installments of the money
were deposited with all the States,
except the four which had refused to
accept it on the conditions imposed.
The return of these loans to the
States has never been demanded.
President Jackson, in his message,
said: Free from public debt, at peace
with the whole world, and with no
! complicated interest to consult in our
intercourse with foreign powers, the
present may be regarded as an epoch
in our history"
1t is not known exactly what share
Maryland received of this so called
loan, but as the original sum is not
yet exhausted the amount must have
been over $2,000,000.

1887, provides that the fund should
