1T is GAMBLING.

This time last week the country
seemed to be OH the verge of a
grave financial crisis. The ire
mendous slump in stock prices the
day before was ominous of danger
and disaster to business generally.
That the effect feared did not re-
Suits strongly indicative of the gen
eral prosperity existing through
out the land That a shrinkage
of three-fourths Of billion of dol
lars in the leading stocks on the
market scarcely created a ripple
on the surface of other business
interests is eloquent of the conf
dence felt in the substantial char.
acter of legitimate business enter
prises generally. This is indica-
tive of another fact, also, and that
IS that the change in stock values
was only apparent, not real, and
was due to a cause which should
arouse the moral sense of the peo-
pie to an evil of vast and increas-
ing magnitude and cause unceas-
ing effort to find a means of over
coming it. In plain words the
slump was caused by gambling.
But how can that be9 some one
may ask, when there is probably
not State in the Union in which
there is not a law against gamb-

ling, with penalties provided for
its violation. A fine or Jail SEN
tenCe follows conviction of shoot
ing crap. Games of chance of all
kinds are forbidden and punish
ment may follow Indulgence in
them. 1t may be that laws are
not ridgidly enforced or are often
evaded; but that argues nothing
against the moral sense of the peo-
pie of the States which places them
upon their statute books.
There is, however, no law
against the gigantic system of
gambling which caused the great
slump in stock a week ago, and
some people may deem the applica-
ton of such word to the system
as unjust and misleading. There
is higher authority, however, than
the word of an humble country
newspaper for so designating the
practice. Courts everywhere have
decided that it is gambling and
that debt created in its pursuance
cannot be enforced or collected.
This may be Regarded as an Off
cial designation and it follows,
logically, that whoever engages in
the business is gambler-a stock
gambler, if you please-but still
gambler.
If then the winning of money at
cards, or keeping house where
money is won at cards, is punish
able by fine or Imprisonment,
should not some legal restriction
be placed upon winning money by
betting on the prices of stocks?
Great operators in this branch of
gambling make every effort to con-
troll such prices when they have
bets at stake and thus render the
system doubly demoralizing by
affecting the value of the property
of legitimate investors and some
times stripping widows and or
phans of needed incomes. The
wonder is that some legal method
has not been devised to prevent or
restrict the practice by furnishing
those who engage in it.

large portion of the credit for
the recent advancement of our
school. He has given of his best;
and coming from one of the best
colleges of the State, and being
young and ambitious. his part in
the great educational advancement
in Oakland has been no small por-
ton. Mr.. Rathbun and Prof.
Turner will certainly provide an
excellent team for the Normal;
those who attend should receive
much inspiration and instruction.
The other teachers also deserve
as much recognition of their SER
vices. Each of them has been
faithful to every duty, and the
general air of Improvement among
the boys and girls, their disci-
pline and their "wide-awakeness,
quickly and decisively prove that
their labors have not been without
their returns. The other teachers
are Misses May Hamill, Lizzie B.
Leary, Beulah Loughridge, Zadie
Browning, Ola Durham and Viz
ginia Johnson. Everyone of these
have done we'll this year, have
had an excellent success, and
without their hearty cooperation
and patient labors, the recent great
advance in our local school would
have been wholly impossible.
In talking with few of the
teachers, found them exceeding
ly enthusiastic in their work, and
filed with plans and ambitions Z
next year. Let the parents 60
operate, let them be liberal in
their praise of the Improvement
and advancement of their children,
and soon Oakland will have a
school equal to any in the State.
IN town corresponding in size to
that of ours. My wish is that the
Normal may be a great success,
and that next years school may
eclipse this one in the advance
ment of our children.

A PAR ENT.

1t is little use for the local editor to
waste his lungs and sprain his spine in
trying to boom town when the citizens
all stand around with their hands in
their pockets and indifferently wait for
something to turn up. If the capitalists
or business men do not put their Shout
ders to the wheel and do little boost
ing it is useless for the editor to try and
boom things. He can write "boom"
articles till he gets bald headed, but if
the citizens themselves do not take hold
and push, the town will stick in the
mud. Of what use is it for the local
paper to suggest improvements and
new enterprises if the suggestions are
never acted upon? One man cannot
boom town. 1t requires the concert
action of the citizens. When one man
shoulders town and attempts to carry
1t there are always lot of cranky kick
ers ready to jump on top of the load.
Unity of action is what knocks.
Relatives and friends of Major F. B.
Blue, late postmaster of Grafton, who
died by his own hand at his home on
Washington street on Tuesday morning,
have become convinced that death was
due rather to accidental causes than
deliberate intention of the deceased
taking his own life. The position in
which the body was found, the fact
that Mr.. Blue had in a chiffonier just
alongside his bed, a revolver of large
calibre fully loaded, coupled with other
facts that have cropped out since the
dreadful occurrence, led them to the
belief that the deceased on the nigh

All, there, Grover!
You're getting over
The limit; but say,
The sort of clay
In your makeup is sound.
And you'll be around
For long time yet;
And the older you get
The firmer you'll stand
In the confidence Of the whole land
There was time, Grover,
When you weren't in clover,
So to speak, and your side
Didn't point at you with pride.
But say,
You were in the straight way,
And you stood there
For fair;
And you had the sand
In your craw to hand
Out the stuff
That would beat any bluff.
You were not made
To be afraid,
And, by thunder
The man that didn't stand from under
Got
What
Was p. d. hot.
You paved the way
For the square deal of today,
And you're getting your share
From everywhere.
Your birthday
Was truly gay.
They whooped it up in every State,
They flew the flag all over,
And everybody, small and great,
Turned out to honor Grover.
The past is past, what was is not,
And now knee-deep IN clover,
His seventy years a burden light,
Wades well-contented Grover.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS.
A Word of appreciation for Our Local
School Teachers.

To the Editor of The Republican:
1t was my pleasure recently to
visit the school of our town of
Oakland, and l was favorably i'm
pressed with the work being done
there and with the excellent corps
of teachers employed, that | feel
somewhat under obligations to
give this form of expression to
my gratitude to those persons who
have made the many radical and
and successful changes in the work
of our boys and girls in our local
schools. l there fore ask you for
little space in your paper that l
may express my appreciation, and
that those teachers who have la
bored so valiantly during the last
year may know that their services
have not been wholly unnoticed.
There is a system of complete
control and discipline about the
entire school. Every student
seems to know that there is a sys-
TEN and he or she tries to conform
thereto. Possibly, the credit for
this order is due largely to the
principal, Prof NJ. K. Turner. He
came here from Pennsylvania,
highly recommended. and has
measured up to all that the citi-
zens of Oakland were led to ex-
pect of him. He is certainly the
right man in the right place.
Furthermore, the teachers are for
tunate in having him to teach the
Normal for them, for he is un-
doubted one of the best fitted men
that Garrett county could get to
instruct our teachers. 1t is a rare
opportunity to the teachers of this
section to be under his influence.
! However, we would not have
the people understand that there is
but one teacher IN the local school;
on the contrary, there are seven
others, as we'll as another, Prof.
! Loraditch, who devotes his time
wholly to teaching Manual Train
ing. Each of these teachers have
contributed literally to the present
excellent condition of our school.
They have all united in bringing
up the grades TO a high standard
of excellence. Cooperation seems
to have been the one aim through
out the past year: cooperation for
the best results, and those results
seems to have been centered who'll
~ upon the determination to give
Our boys and girls the best posi-
bic.
! Prot. F. L. Rathbun, the able
vice-principal, is also deserving of

REMITTANCES;
THURSDAY. MARCH %, 1907.
JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRACY.

Jeffersonian principles were
never more in the fashion as a
Democratic propaganda then they
are now. Whatever else goes,
Thomas Jefferson abides. The
Democracy is split into three sec
tons, each holding distinctly diff
ferent views concerning policies of
the present, but each Of these
grand divisions claims the sage
of Monticello for its very own. In
New York city the near Jefferson
ian birthday is to be celebrated by
each division of the tripartite
Democracy according to the vary
ing interpretations of the "immor-
tai principles" which the divided
situation has occasioned. 1t is
Interesting to note the differing
grades of Jeffersonian simplicity
as indicated by the per plate"
cost of these several Jeffersonian
repasts. The least costly feast
represents an expenditure of S. per
plate. Even at such a moderate
cost it is fair to assume there may
be other fluid than water for the
stirring of the Democratic heart
The intermediate dinner is to cost
S. per plate, and the dinner of the
Parker Jeffersonians touches the
high mark of $40 for every sitter
who drinks to the memory of
Thomas Jefferson and his simple
ways. 1t is a most interesting
conundrum-If Thomas Jefferson
were ON earth, which of these
simple dinners would draw him?
The $1o-a-plate dinner is to be
given by the Judge Parker-the
safe and sane"-div1sion of the
Democracy. Senator Rayner has
been invited to eXpound Jefferson
ian principles as the safe and sane
contingent sees them. There
seems to be some doubt raised as
to whether Mr.. Rayner may be
the leading orator because Of his
recent illness. 1t is certain, how
ever, that William Jennings Bryan
will in no event grace the ten
dollar celebration with his pres
ence. Mr.s Bryan is to take the
middle of the road as to dinners;
his keynote" is to be given out
at the fve-per-plate feast. The
third dinner-the humble s. affair
is a notification that William
Randolph Hearst and his State
Independence League have not
dissolved nor dropped out or off.
The league is staying organized
for the next turn in the Democrat
ic game. Dolphin NJ. Delmas, of
Thaw trial fame, will attempt to
explaini Jeffersonian ideals in ac-
cord with the vagaries of Hearst.
ism. Every'Democrat may choose
according..to his taste, not only as
to viands, but in the elucidation
of the immortal principles upon
which he is supposed to base his
faith. If he doesn't like the Par
ker brand, there is the Bryan serv
ing; or, if Organism has grown a
trife stale oriis thought to be over
done. the Hearst rendering of the
creed is refuge.
These threeSJeffersonian events
are expected, each one of them, to
sound a keynote for 1908. It
seems inevitable, therefore, that
the Democracy will go into the
next presidential preliminaries
with at least three differing YER
sions of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 1t
is doubtful whether Thomas Jeffer-
son, if he were to be brought back
into flesh, could make a fusion of
his divided followers.

CROWD SEES SHOWS.

Carnival Attendance Fai-Animal
Show and Free Act Draws.
A crowd Of the about the same size
as attended the opening nights per-
formance witnessed the Tuesday night
shows at the carnival of the Luken
Hippodrome Company. Altho the crowd
was not much larger than the one OF
Monday night the shows did a great
deal more business. Business was es-
.pecially good with the animal show,
which is coming to be recognized as
one of the chief features of the carni-
val. 1t was of the same excellence as
the night preceding. The free act by
the Luken brothers, attracted a large
crowd, which appreciated the merit
