For several days past a rumor has
been current that the Preston Lum-
Der and Coal Company, with its prin-
cipal Office located in Oakland and
mills at Crellin, three miles south
west of town, had disposed of its in
terests to Messrs. J. L. and S. A. Ken
dali, who own and operate the large
numbering plant at Kendall, three
miles above Friendsville on the Yough
River in this county. This report,
until this morning, could not be Yeri-
fed with any degree of certainty, but
we are now in a position to state posi-
lively that the deal was copsummated
on Wednesday of last week, since
which time the mills and other prop
erty belonging to the Preston Com
panY have been in possession of the
new owners.
This assertion is strengthened by a
report pub iished III yesterdays Pitts

The Road From FriendSville to Bloom
ing Rose.
To the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican:
[ wish to say a few things in an
swer to the communication of Traveller
which appeared in the issue of THE
REPUBLICAN of Sept. 2S in regard to
the proposed road leading from
Friendsyille to Blooming Rose.
In the first place | want to say l
believe the "TrayeIer'' never travel
ed very far from home, or he would
know that a road a mile and three
quarters long oyer our mountains
and through the valleys of Garrett
county could not be built for 5000 or
any sum approaching that amount,
and for him to advance such pal
pably inaccurate statement forces
one to believe that it is not his ignor-
ance which leads him to make it but
a desire to mislead the tax payers.
Mr.. "Traveler" has placed the
wrong construction upon the meaning
of the letter "W'. 1t stands for
workman" and for write Zone who
can write and express by letters and
words his meaning.
The "Traveler' i'll his letter makes
another attempt to mislead the peo-
pie by asserting that where team of
horses referred to in my former COM
munication crushed through a wire
fence was at the bottom of the hill
and stu upon a grade of ten degrees.
How the bottom of hill can retain
a grade is matter past my compre-
tension. We are supposed to be on
the level when we get to the foot of
an incline whether the incline is one
or fifteen degrees.
Recently | understood that the
"Traveler' or some of the people land
they are few who want this road
made the statement that one could
start at Blooming Rose with a team
and a heavily ladened wagon and
would not be required to draw brake
in descending the hill FROM the place
of starting to Friendsville. When |
heard this l remarked that it would
be the longest piece oflevel road that
could be made in Garrett county now
or hereafter, so | walked up the pro-
posed site and made a discovery that
there was some upland and decidedly
down hill to FriendsviIle. When this
road is built if ever is) and the man
who attempts to come down to
Friendsville oyer it without drawing
the brake will meyer see his grand
mother in this world or have the OPP
portunity of bidding his friends and
family goodby. His remains may be
recognizable, but that is about all.
In conclusion | want to say to
'Traveler" that | am still whistling
and l believe am whisting the tune
as near right as notes can guide me.
Probably they are two sharps too
high for YOU. We are not whistling
in flats nor do we intend to. | hope
you will see the error of your way
and depart therefrom before it is too
late.
With my best respects for you and
your friends, am,

Will Jonn A. Mccall Resign =?

Do you wonder that c. H. Wenner broker and banker
of New York city and policy holder in the New York
Life to the extent Of $4,000 in open letter demands the
resignation of President John A. Mccall
Mr.. Mccall hasn't covered himself with glory in the
insurance investigation. He urried petulant. Incl
dentaly he established precedent in high finance
Under the Mccall plan the president is EVERYTHING
and the directors and stockholders NOTHING What he
did You can apply to your business to the bank in
which interested to the corporation in which you
are a stakeholder, and see low you like it.
Mr.. Mccall believed says he believed that he had

the policy holders He did give away in large He
used thousands for POLITICAL PURPOSES.

And yet he didn't ask for authority consulted one,
and he made gifts of size to ruin ordinary institution
True, this par with many other things that
have been revealed since the insurance investigation
opened.
In exenuaon he asserts that these benefactons were
not for political parties but for PLATFORMS.
All of which doesnt help Mr. Mccall out of the hole in
the least That great insurance company built up the
savings of men and women should attempt to influence
the trend of national politics. TO ELECT PRESIDENTS
was and is dangerous, and unwise IF NOT CRIMINAL.

We hear good deal about the
high calling of motherhood; but the
high calling of fatherhood is being
sadly neglected. 1t is as much the
duty of the father as of the mother
to see that the little ones get fair
chance in the world-are properly
clothed, fed and trained. 1t is the
duty to grow into the thoughts of
his wife that his absence will pro-
duce a feeling of loss in her. 1t is
his duty to be his half of the family
And that half ought to incline some-
thing besides a mere money getter.
To often it doesn't.
Too often the man thinks his duty
done If he supports them-physically
that is, gives them enough to eat and
wear.
He misses the highest privilege.
He will reap his reward in their flu

Men become moral by subordinat-
ing this law of the jungle and exalt-
ing above it the higher law which
Identifies us with our fellows, and
makes our happiness consist, not in
exterminating our rivals, but In
sharing the good of life with our
neighbors.
1t is, Of course, entirely clear
that the principle which governs
much of the conduct of those who
have built up enormous fortunes
upon the ruin of their fellow men
is the principle of "the survival of
the fittest" and it is well to have
our attention so sharly called to the
fact. 1t is also true and even
astounding that ministers of the
gospel and religious editors have
recently recognized the same prin-
ciple as lying at the basis of these
vast accumulations, and have, ap-
parently, sought to justify it.
1t would not seem to be necessary
to argue that 'the law of the sur
vival of the fittest" is not the Chris.

member that even in the view of in

Much has been said upon the evil
of tipping.
A strong side light has unexpected
ly been thrown upon this evil.
A few weeks ago 10 girls were lost

At last we have a clear state
ment of the philosophy Of multi.
millionism. A group of his admirers
and defenders. gathering about the
most conspicuous of the multi.
millionaires, listens with interest
and applause while their spokesman
expOunds the principles on which
he has risen to eminence. From
this exposition there is no dissent !;
we may therefore accept it as au.
thoritative.
After some discussion of railway
rates, whose relation to this vast
fortune seemed to be recognized,
the apologist and eulogist laid
down this broad principle as gov.
erning the whole business: "The
law of the survival of the fittest is
law too firmly established to be
overturned or even long delayed by
legislative enactments."
That this is the very law by
which these gigantic fortunes have
been built up is not, indeed, news t;
but it is unusual to have the fact SO
distinctly avowed.
The curious fact is that anyone
should conceive of this as being the
true relative principle of human so.

large extent, among the lower ami

the weak.

ascent of life, this law is suppressed.

Fiske, in particulara, the ablest
American exponent of evolutionism,
shows us how, when man comes on
the scene, the frightening period of
infancy calls for the homogeneous
family. and lays the foundation OF
social morality, whose basis is sym.
pathy and hopeful service.
Thus nature provides for "cast.

the men, and scores of girls fiocked
about to kiss him.
Cashen begged of on the plea that
he was a married man.
In the good old days that our
grandmothers talk about kiss was
a symbol Of love.
1t is a great leap from love kisses
to tipping kisses But these are
rapid times.
In the old days of our grand
mothers. the kiss was q symbol of
love. The mother might kiss the
daughter And sometimes the father
might kiss the babies. A husband
might kiss his wife, except on Sun
days. The lover might kiss his

spoken.
These tipping kisses are quite diff

Men who have always condemned
tipping as a nuisance are now risk
ing their lives to rescue drowning
women or search for lost picnicers.
No man seems to think it beneath
his dignity to accept the new tip.
