THINK BETTER TlMES.

The citizen very properly desires 20
forget politics and 10 return to the i'm
portant business of speeding the return
to good times. There is abundant eyi-
dance that prosperity, which is already
plentiful, will soon be more generally
shared. Confidence in the banks has
been restored. The stock market indi-
Gates renewed activity Business gen
orally must soon pick up" and with
its improvement will come more work
for the unemployed. more trade to the
merchant, more money out or safe de-
post vaults andinto general circulation.
But today and in weeks to come the
business men Of the count Y must re-
member that complete restoration Of
prosperity rests with them. Think bet
ter times, talk better times and better
times will become fact. Every en-
plOyer who is able to do so should make
1t his business to find more work for idle
men. He will profit by their labor as
much as and more than they do. Every
man can help his neighbor and himself
by pitching into his own work harder
than ever. expanding it and making it
more necessary part of the business
of the nation Let business men and
professional men, employers and en-
ployed, work to the same purpose.

Mr.. TAFT'S FAITH.

Just why President Roosevelt thought
1t necessary to make the controversy of
Mr.. Taft's religious belief in the recent
campaign, the basis of a letter on relig-
iOus liberation in America when MIR.
Taft's election plainly evidenced that the
people of the United States fully recOg-
nize this cardinal principal in the Consti-
tuition, is, of course, known to himself.
1T must appear, however" to quote
the Baltimore American of yesterday,
which discusses it under the editorial
caption, Roosevelt on Peligion, that
there is absolute dearth of originality
in the discussion of the subject of per-
! sonal freedom in matters of religion.
1t would seem, therefore, that the sup-
Ject would not be particularly attrac-
tive to President Roosevelt Following,
however, his practice of giving an eX-
preston upon every subject that as
sumes any degree of interest to the
people, he gives to the public letter
written to someone during the campaign
who criticised Mr.. Taft upon the grounds
of his Unitarian faith-a letter that the
President says was noe given out before,
because he did not want to influence the
election. That there was no influential
number of persons who stopped to the
plane of religious prejudice in casting
their ballots is sufficiently evidenced by
the result of the election. SO that it
would seem to be rather superhuous to
enter defense Of the successful cand-
dates faith because some infntesimal
number of persons object to it. TIL
grounds Of freedom of conscience are
so settled in this country that it would
seem to be the part of wisdom to ignore
any pretty abullition of the intolerant
spirit.
MIR. Roosevelt's position is, however,
entirely orthodox, sensible, sound and
American. 1t is the position Of all his
fellow-countrymen with the exception
of the peculiar man who bears ratio
relation to the rest of the population Of
an lnconsequential nature Mr. Roose-
welt is entirely right in branding as an
outrage-if the necessity for notice
exists at all any attack upon a candi-
date upon the grounds Of his religion.
He believes that the individual-Ca tho-
lie, Protestant or what not should be
on an equal plane of eligibility for the
for the highest office in the land Here
IN Maryland, where the subject Of re-
llgious liberation as between b levers
IN Jesus Christ was settled from the be-
ginning, there is a very large Catholic
population, and, in fact, all denomina-
tons flourish within the states confines.
So that the religious question never dis
turbs the people in their political action.
II certainly should be so in the country
at large. But al the rciteralion Of
aNioms that could be made by MIR oose.
welt or anyone else would not convince
the occasional bigot. So what is the Use
OF stirring up religious controversy.

Telephone Service Excellent.

In the rush Of matters claiming the
attent on Of the publisher Of this paper
last week, credit for the excellent ser
vice rendered by the Bell Telephone
Company as well as the Garrett County
Telephone Company, was overlooked.
The former company ran special wire
into The REPUBLICAN editorial rooms.
where the returns on the night of the
election were received from every state
in the union At 9 o. clock that evening,
byreason of this service, it was apparent
that the country had gone Republican
but as news pleasing to the Republicans
continued to come the wire was kept
busy until the next morning. The
manager of the Company informed us
that the returns from Election District
No. of this county were among the
first complete retm ms received in. New
York City from any section Of the coun-
try. This was accomplished by the
Transmission Of the figures via the Gar
rett County lines to this office and
thence oyer the long distance. To the
local company, therefore, credit is duo

what not. This would go largely to re-
move the complaint of loneliness, which
drives so many young people from the
farms. The Improvement of the roads,
and the use of electric lights to illumi-
nate them in winter, would also tend
largely to promote this object. The
country school boards could also make
provision for practical and instructive
lectures in the rural schoolhouses on
winter evenings, dealing with those sub
jects which might be brought to the
front by the Country Life Commission

TO IMPROVE TIE CONDITION or
COUNTRY LIFE.

The first meeting OF President Roose-
velt's Country Life Commission, held at
the Maryland Agricultural College, on
Monday brought forth an interesting
discussion and will 90 far to impress
people with the possibilities for good
which lie in that commission. The idea
of the commissioners seems to be rather
to gain information to submit in their
reports than to give instruction to the
people. If by these public discussions
the commissioners can gain a correct
knowledge of such unfavorable condi-
tons in country life that call for amend
mcnt, and direct public attention to
them, an admirable work viii be per
formed and the way pri pared for pracli-
cal remedies. 1t is likely that in add
ton to the well-informed common-sense
men who may respond to the call Of the
commission there will come ? number of
''cranks" and faddists. These will try
the patience Of the commission, but
probably they will do no real harm.
Two things have been suggested which
it is believed by those who advocate
them, would tend to improve conditions.
One of them is the establishment Of
postal savings banks for the promotion
of thrift in rural districts where there
are no savings banks and no places for
safekeepirg Of small sums 1t is the
practice in many remote country places
to hide money away in the homes, and
1t is believed by the advocates of postal
savings banks that they would add
largely to the amount of available cur
rencY in circulation.
The other suggestion for he better
ment of country lite is the parcels post,
which is enjoyed by the people of nearly
all civilized countries except the United
States. There are two strong influences
opposing this. The principal one is, of
course, the express company, which has
a hold on Congress. The other is the
country store keeper, who enormously
believes that the parcels post would
bring the city store in direct competition
with him. 1t is not likely that the
country store keeper would be injured
by this competition. The effect would
be to give the country people access to
the city stores for those commodities
which the country store does not or
dinarily keep. 1t would also open up
the city market to farmers for small
products which now go to waste, because
of the poor service and prohibitory rates
of the express companies, and the people
would get more money to spend at the
country stores.
The president Of the Maryland Agri-
cultural College, in his remarks before
the commission, discussed the defcien-
cies Of rural schools. These deficiencies
are obvious and largely due to the lack
Of sufficient funds. Notonly should the
schools be improved, but the country
schoolhouse SHOULD be made Jhs gather

marked the speculative sentiment in
the stock market TO-DAY. The price
movement was extraordinarily main
tanned and the conflicting movements
seemed to be 50 nearly balanced in
their. power TO affect sentiment that
neither was able to prevail. That the
market was being subjected to a
churning process by powerful hands
was the fairly obvious inference from
its action. The most conspicuous op-
posed movements were those in st.
Paul and United States steel. St.
Paul showed aggressive strength at
different times and the brokers en-
ployed to do the buying of the stock
gave the impression of an accumula-
ton by the most powerful of the
financial groups h%abitually active in
the speculation. The shares with st.
Paul in the upward tendency were,
for the most part, amongst the less
conspicuous low priced stocks. The
usual market leaders including the
Hartman Paei1ics, the Hill stocks.

Smelling and Reading were inclined
to move i'm company with United

the evidence of the capital require
ment opening before the markets. The
announcement of the sale of $50, OOO,-
600 of American Telephone and Tele-
graph convertible bonds to bankers
seemed unexpected and was Of por-
tentious effect on sentiment.
This was partly due to the an
nouncement of a privilege to under
writer's of the previous 100000 600
