Last Nights Plans For the
Departure of the Hunt
ress For St. Louis.

Plans last night were, weather per-
uniting, that the United States gun
boat Huntress, with the Missouri naval
reserves on board, would depart be-
fore daybreak. The boat has been
taking on coal and provisions since
her arrival at the navy yard last
Thursday, and the work was complet-
ed last night and the vessel pro
nounced ready for her trip to st. Louis
via New Orleans. The officers and
men were sent aboard yesterday
morning, and thy quickly learned
every detail of the handling of the
trim craft
Capt Dan Horton, the well-known
Pensacola pilot, who has carried many
vessels along the Gulf coast, will sail
with the Huntress and guide her to
the Mississippi river, where the regu-
lar river and bar pilots will take her
in charge. Commander Roberts, of
the HuntFess, expects to make st.
Louis in about two weeks, weather
permitting. The boat will not hurry
at all, but will remain over night at
various points along the river.

BEATEN
WITH 4 ROCK
Night Officer Sharritt Had
Thrilling Experience in
Futile Effort to Arrest
Chicken Thief at Early
Hour Yesterday.

Beaten on the head with a rock
until nearly insensible and badly bit
ten on the hand, Mounted Officer
Sharritt of the night police force
came out second best in an encounter
with an unknown negro ruffian at 3
o'clock yesterday morning. The
trouble occurred near the corner OF
East Strong and Tarragona streets.
Officer Sharritt's version of the
story is that he discovered a negro
going along the road with a bag over
his shoulder He accosted the man,
and asked what he had, to which the
negro replied with a remark about
taking some articles from the bay
front to his home. This did not. salts
fly the officer, who began an investi-
cation, and found the bag contained
chickens.
Officer Sharritt then attempted to
place the man under arrest, and he
put up a strong resistance. The Off
Ger dropped his pistol and in the
scuffle which followed the negro Sc
cured large rock and beat the officer
over the head, making his escape. The
bag of chickens were left behind, and
later taken to the station. The officer
discovered that his hand had been
badly bitten during the fight and his
wounds were dressed by the city
physician.

MR. JAMES E. M'GETTIEGAE
President of Board Supervisors at a
Meeting Held Last Saturday.

At meeting of the Board of Flee
ton Supervisors held last Saturday,
Mr.. James E. McGettigan, of Accident,
was elected president. The election of
Mr.. McGettigan was strongly urged by
the rank and file of the Democratic par
ty, and shows the high esteem in which
the new president is held by the mem
bers of his party. The former presi-
dent of the board, Mr.. Thomas Little,
resigned, owing to his work being in
West Virginia. The board of supervisors
is now composed of President McGetti-
gan, Peter A. Chisholm, the newly ap-
pointed member, and E. E. Sollars.
While it is out of the ordinary for the
president of the board to live anywhere
except in Oakland, yet it is conceded
that.in this instance the board has made
an exception which meets with the ap-
proval of the party.

ARE CHURCH AND STATE SEPARATE

1t is often said that the man who
comes with a new idea or a new view of
an old one is hailed with as much re-
nown as the inventor who comes forth
with some device which greatly lessons
labor. One of these men with a new
idea comes from New England. He
puts new phase upon the church ques-
ton. He states that the church and
state should be seperate. So does
everyone else who believes in the prin-
ciples of our republic. But this writer
from New England contends that the
church and state are in fact not seper-
ate in Jour government. That writer
points out that churches are exempt
from taxation, and that those citizens.
those tax payers who are not members
of any church, support the institution
when they pay for its protection, for its
rights in the courts, and for all the
benetits.which come to an institution
located within the United States. The
writer fromlNew England contends that
the churches should pay taxes, in order
to pay for..what it gets from the gov
eminent; as it isinow, the costs of its
protection are paid by everyone, both
church members and non-church mem
bers, and this is claimed to be wrong,
inconsistent, especially when it is claim
ed that the church and state are seper-
ate. The idea is reproduced here only
for the purpose that some may become
acquainted with it and thus line up upon
one side orsanother in the discussions of
the subject which are likely to follow
in years to come.

of the State. However, up to this time,
nothing definite has been decided in the
matter.
In Cecil county, however, a test case
is being made of the issue, and it will be
before the Court of Appeals of the State
this month. When its decision has been
made, then it will be known if it is legal
to conduct party nominations in the old
way. The outcome of the case is being
watched with great interest by the peo-
pie throughout the State, for should the
Court decide that the Crawford system
of nomination should prevail, then Gar
rett County this fall would have to de-
part from the customary method of
electing delegates to nominate the coun-
ty officials. If the Crawford system is
declared to be the legal form Of nomi-
nation, then a regular election will be
held early in the fall by each party to
determine who the nominees for the
various county and State offices shall be.
The Central Committee of Garrett
county o f the Republican party will
make no decision until the Court renders
its decision in the matter. Should the
decision be delayed, the committee will
leave it to the party to decide which
system shall be adopted.
There are many prominent leaders in
the political affairs of the State as well
as many Of the rank and file of both
parties who favor the adoption of the
Crawford system, for it is argued that
the nominating power is placed where
it properly belongs. that is in the hands
of the men who are to elect the officials
and who are called upon to support the
ticket.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

With this issue of THE REPUBLICAN
Mr.. Franklin E. Rathbun, recent vice
principal of the Oakland High School,
becomes the associate editor, which
position, we have every reason to be-

considerable experience in newspaper
work heretofore and being otherwise
equipped for the work we confidently
believe that Mr.. Rathbun will keep up
the high standard all ready established
by THE REPUBLICAN.
For seventeen years the writer has
been sole editor and manager of the
paper, besides having to look after other
departments of the plant, and now he
believes that he has earned we'll de-
served vacation, which he will take dur

GEORGE MARVlLLE KILLED.
Thrown from Buggy Against a Tree,
Having His SKULL Fractured.

George Marville, resident of Deer
Park, was thrown from a buggy and
killed last Friday afternoon. The acct
dent occurred near Uplands, the summer
home of Mr.. George W. Haulenbeek.
The remains Of Mr.. Marville were in
TERED Sunday morning in the Deer Park
cemetery, after short services had been
conducted at the home of the deceased.
While driving from Oakland Marville's
horse became frightened and ran away,
throwing the occupant out against a
tree, fracturing his skull. His death
was immediate.
Mr.. Marville was thirty-eight years
of age and unmarried. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. C. w.
Hudson. The post norton examination
showed that death had been caused by
a fracture of the skull. He is survived
by mother, brother and sister.

DlSC0ROS IN DEMOCRATIC HAIR.
M0NY.

Since the death of Senator German
there has not been a recognized leader
of the Democratic party in the State;
Mr.. |. Freeman Rasin received the
toga for short time, but death soon
called him from the leadership. The
result is that there is no one who is
looked to by the Democrats as unques-
tionably the true leader. There are
several prominent Democrats who want
the honor of being at the head of their
party, and so there is a fight going on
as to who it shall be.
Young Mr.. German, the State Sena-
tor, is exceedingly ambitions to be at
the top, and so he and Congressman
Frank Talbot have formed an alliance.
With Governor Warfeld left out of the
alliance, it is very week; for now the
Governor comes forward with a strong
force, with all of his admirers through
out the State back of him, rank and file
of theIparty, and orders that the Cor
man-Talbott forces take notice of him
and his friends. The answer has been
that the alliance defes the Governors
power, and so a mimic warfare is on be-
tween the.self appointed leaders of the
Democratic party.
Ex-Governor jackson had a talk with
Governor Warfeld this week over the
contretempts, with the result that the
daily press is filled with rumors and
suggestions that there will soon be
Warfeld-Jackson combination to wrest
the power from the other alliance. The
victory is to the strongest, and with the
victory will come soon a governorship
and senatorship. However, the Re-
publican party is taking notice, is hus-
banding its strength, isIunited for sue
cess and is thrilled with the determine
ton that victory will come to them this
fall if the strength Of the Democrats
is weakened by internal dissentions and
jealousies of those in high places.
