DESERVED CRITICISM.

The censure which the veterans of
Tyler Post, Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, have seen fit to visit upon the State
Board OF Education, through the medium
of resolutions adopted yesterday, for
having stricken Memorial Day from the
list of school holidays, is eminently
righteous and other Grand Army posts
throughout the state should vigorously
and promptly emulate. the example of
their Cumberland brethren, that the eff
feet upon the educational authorities.
and the governor of the commonwealth,
if it be necessary to call his attention
to this ineXcusable blunder, may mani
fest itself in the immediate aborgation
of this obnoxious order. The veterans
here are disposed to regard the action
of the state board as a deliberate af-
front, but the position is scarcely tena-
bic. A more charitable and otherwise
more logical opinion of the state, fixes
the responsibility upon the absence of
reflection as to the consequences rather
than deliberate intent. Nevertheless.
now that veterans look upon the act of
the State Board with proper detesta-
ton, it behooves those responsible to
repair the'mischief as far as it rests in
their power at the earliest opportunity.

DISTRICT No. 3 LoYAL TO PEARRE.

DISTRICT NO. ) LOYAL TO PEARRE.
To the Editor Of The Republican,:
The Republicans in this district are
warming up to the necessity Of sending
a sturdy Pearre delegation to the coun-
ty convention on the 9th of June. 1t is
currently reported here that as the
agent Of certain political interests an
outsider is preparing, under cover,
through the special representatives who
will appear upon the scene later, to
trick the voters in a sufficient number
of districts during the last few days of
the primary campaign in order to gain
control Of the County Convention. If
this be true what an unholy alliance,
Who has ever given us the same eff
fectivc service as Colonel George A.
Pearre? He has always stood by the
the administration. He has never sulk-
ed lin his tent at time of duty; but
always strove for the success of repub-
l!canism. A more prompt attention to
correspondence and other work Of
his constituents has never been
seen. He has never been discourteous
t. any to his constituents, and none
of them ever need hesitate to approach
him either at home or in Washington.
The same cordial greeting and hearty
handgrasp is extended to all With his
congenial manner, eloquence cf speech,
alertness Of mind, strong individuality
and untiring industry he has been an
ideal representative Of the Sixth Con-
gressional District Of Maryland.
With the greatest regard for all his
competitors, as a statesman ne is adj
mittedly their superior. He has been
Garrett county's friend, and at this
time when his enemies are assailing
him, the banner Republican county of
the state will not falter in her loyal and
united support Of his candidacy, More
than ninety per cent Of the republicans
Of this district are anxious for his sue
cess, and reports from all parts of the
county are equally encouraging.
Foreign agents had better beware and
stay at home-we need no dictation.
Garrett county will attend to her own
business, and do ii we'll by unanimously
electing a strong Pearre delegation in
the coming county convention.
Hurrah for Pearre!

THURSDAY, MAY 81, 1906.
CONGRESSMAN PEARRE

At this time more than at any other
the voters of Garrett county and the
Sixth Congressional District, ought to
feel the necessity Of continuing our
present representative in Congress. A
new man has to forge his way to the
front, and experience has demonstrated
that it takes at least several terms of
service to do this. Take such states as
Maine with Blaine, Reed and Little
field; Ohio with Garfield, Mckinley,
Grosvenor and others; Pennsylvania
with her many distinguished and long
term representatives. These and o.her
states through what their representa-
tives have secured for them because
Of the influence they welded in con-
gress, show the adyisability of keeping
in service valuable representatives.
Congressman Pearre has effected
much good work during his three and a
half terms, and has many other good
bills in line for passage. If we want
this legislation we must keep him there,
for with his years of service, his we'll
known ability and general acquaintance
and standing with the membership in
slres final enactment of such legis!a
ton as we may desire.
The old maxim, 'never swap horses
while crossing a stream, applies to the
situation politically in the Sixth Con-
gressional District at this time. Our
interests require Congressman Pearre' S
denomination and reelection, and it is
encouraging to know that in Garrett
county the voters are a unit for his re-
turn.

PEARRE FAVORED BY THE OLD SOLDIER.
To the Editor of The Republican:

PEARRE FAVORED BY THE GID SOLDIER.
To the Editor of The Republican:
1t is gratifying to see the very strong
feeling here in the interest of our pres
ent Congressman. Honorable George A.
Pearre, who has given cur Congression-
al District effective service during the
past seven years. While he is to be
commended for this service, he is en-
titled to special credit for his unceasing
interest in behalf of the old soldier.
This can be attested by a number of
them living in and about this section of
Garrett county. There has never been
letter written by any of them, or their
friends, concerning any matter in
which they We're interested, but that
prompt reply was received, and the
most minute attention given to their
requests in Colonel Pearre's Congress
sional efforts. In the securing Of pen
sions and such other protection as the
old soldier desired in the form of nation
al legislation, no representative either
from this or any other section of the
State has ever been more untiring or
successful than our present representa-
tive.
If there is a part of our citizenship in
this country to whom we should feel in
debted more than another, it is to the
m IN who left their homes and went out
battlefields of their country, enduring
hardship of every character, suffering
exposure, pain and want, and the en-
dangering of their lives in heroic effort
to preserve the unity, glory and gran
duer of their nation and the national
flag. A man who is their friend is GER
tainly friend of our country, and in
the hour of civic battle should not be
forgotten by those of US who enjoy the
heritage of American citizenship. that
they through untold hardship handed
down to us.
Colonel Pearre has rot only been an
ilcessant worker for our nations defen-
ders, but in every measure that has
come before the National House of
Representatives that purported to pro-
tect the interests of our country COM
mercially, industrially, financially, and
in any way that would encourage Amer
ica's development, he has always been
faithful to his trust. During the adj
ministration of that great soldier-states-
man, the immortal President Mckinley.
no member of Congress stood more
valiantly by his policies than did Colonel
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1906-05-31

Pearre. President Mckinley, through
the cowardly bullet of desperate an
archist, was painfully removed from
among Us, but his memory and the
goodness and achievements OF his life
still linger with Us. At . period such
as this, the memory Of men such as
President Mckinley speaks forcibly and
reminds US not only OF duty to his
country and the men who 50 Loyalty sus-
tanned him in the trying period of his
five years service as President Of this
great country. The policies that he in
augurated must still be maintained.
Those that he wished for, some of
which are in execution, others Of which
are now being considered, should be-
come and remain part Of our national
policy. In order to have it so we should
see that his friends, men who were in
sympathy with his life and in sympathy
with his policies now, should remain in
positions of executive character so as to
continue the prosperity our nation has
enjoyed in the last eight years.
To the patriotic and enterprising citi-
zens of Garrett county, say we need
no change. Let good enough alone.
That | know is the sentiment of this
district, and | feel sure it is the opinion
Of other sections of Garrett county, be-
cause she never recedes in her support
of what she conceives to be right for
the good Of the county in general. As
an evidence of this l expect to see
Garrett county go overwhelmingly
for the denomination and recollection Of
Colonel George A. Pearre.

Oakland, Maryland, May %, 1905.
To the Editor Of The Republican:
As the time for our county primaries
is drawing near and as the coming con
vention will elect delegates to the con-
gressionai convention, l think few
words in favor of our well-tlied Repre-
sentative, Hon. George A. Pearre, will
not be amiss.
If we look at Mr.. Pearre' s record since
he entered Congress there is no doubt
bat that we will find he has made a
representative of and for the people and
his record cannot be eXcelled by any of
his predecessors. He has proved him
self ever ready and willing to do all he
could honorable for his constituents and
no one has asked for a favor that he
did not get, if it was possible for Nh
Pearre to accomplish it.
True for some little time he has been
incapacited to some extent by illness,
but now he has fully recovered and a
better fitted for Congressional duties
than ever before.
A Congressional District is always
better represented by one who has been
in Office for some time and who knows
the ways of the House than one, no
matter how able he may be, who is
serving his first term.
do not intend to say any thing de-
rogatory to the gentlemen who may be
opposing Mr. Pearre but there can
hardly be any doubt but that the Sixth
Congressional District can do any bet
ter than to rcnominate and re-elect Mr.
Pearre to the place which he has 50
ably filed, and |, as a voter of Garrett
county, hope that we will, if the oppol-
unity offers in the convention at Fred
erick, cast our county vote for Mr..
Pearre.

KEYsER RIDGE FOR PEARRE AND THE
NATIONAL PIKE.

KEYsER RIDGE FOR PEARRE AND THE
NATIONAL PIKE.
To the Editor of The Republican:
The bill introduced in the House of
representatives for the re-estabhshing
Of the old National pike is one Of the
many bills introduced by Congressman
Pearre for his district.
The work provided in this bill is Of
much Importance to the residents and
taxpayers Of Garrett county, as it ex-
tends from Keyser Ridge of near the
town of Frostburg, a distance of from
q to 30 miles, and therefore means
much to the agricultural interests Of
our county.
The great amount Of labor employed is
an item in itself, but in ne wise to be
compared with the benefit that will re-
dound to Garrett county and It's imme-
date neighborhood through the re-
establishment of the old National pike
in its old time condition.
The historic associations of this pike
are such as appeal to every patriotic
citizen in this section of the state, and
that combined with its usefulness in the
way of aiding in the now rapid develop
ment of our county makes it a measure
of considerable moment to US. The I'M
told wealth, such as coal and other
mineral resources, together with our
splendid farming land in Garrett county
requires every encouragement to good
roads, and such other improvement as
tend to facilitate traffic of every kind.
Garrett county cannot afford to take
any backward step. As an instance of
our progressiveness, she is the leading
Republican county of the state of Mary
land today, fact that cannot lbe ques-
toned by the most intense partisan
when we consider her vote in its entire
ty. 1t is purely an industrial county
and if properly safeguarded by such
legislation as she needs, will, before
long, be the foremost county in an in
dustrial and commercial sense in the
State of Maryland.
