Mr.. RAIkER'S HEAVY EXPENSE

Despite the effort to make the Sena-
torial primary less expensive for Sena-
tor Rayner, who was the only candidate
by persuading good Democrats to act as
judges and clerks of election without
pay, the Senator 5 declaration of money
expended show that making even lone
race for the Sanate is an expensive lux
ury. The faithful did not respond and
it cost the Senator, in round numbers,
Sl2, 900 to go over the course alone.
Of course, there is a defect in law
which compels man to go to any such
expense when there is nobody running
against him. 1t is all wrong to make
candidate stand the expense of an cleo
ton, anyhow. and we should protest
against any law that made him pay so
heavilytto become candidate for the
UnitedStates Senate if the primary were
of pecialimportance one way or the 9TH
er. But the fact is, nobody cares ANYTHING
about the Senatorial primary 1t is a
farce, traversity on the sort of direct
primary" the Democratic party promis-
ed the State. 1t gives the Democratic
leaders complete control of the situation
and robs he city of any real share in
determining the question of who shall
represent the State in the Senate. The
only good thing about it is that when
the primary is held the choice of SEN
ator-where there is but one candidate
is settled and got out of the way of
the Legislature, thus taking away from
the politicians excuse for letting the
matter block the work of that body.
This is something, to be sure, but so
long as primary of this kind is held its
chief claim to distinction will be thatEit
is standing proof of the Democratic
party's betrayal of deliberatepromise.

A BABY IN THE HOUSE.

Let the world shed a tear for that
college professor out in Illinois who
killed himself because, it is suggested
in the dispatches, there was a baby in
his house. When it made its advent
squalling as babies will, he packed his
vaise, clapped on his hat and sought a
refuge in a nearby boarding house.
Venturing, once or twice, to return
home, he was driven away again by it's
cries. Finally he sought complete and
permanent deafness by swallowing pO-
tassium cyanide, and was found dead
on the college campus, his blind eyes
staring at the dawn.
The world will soon forget him, but
it would be better for the world, per-
haps, if it could remember him forever,
says the Baltimore Sun. A monolith
to his memory, erected in some public
place, would do its share toward max
ing mankind kindlier, happier and bet
ter. Just as our shafts to great sol
diers stir within US the fever OF patriot
ism, and as our monuments to great
martyrs make US resolve to be brave
and gOod-just so would this memorial
serve to foster and keep alive the noble
sentiment of pity. Every citizen who
stopped before it, or gave it a glance
IN passing, would go away bit sorry
for the man, and a bit determined to
steer clear of his wretched folly
Babies Squall, true enough, and their
squalling is not music, but the man
who sees them only as makers of dis
agreeable noises is a man so lacking in
imagination, so devoid of the elemental
feeling of human kinshlp, so stepped in
shallow, sophmoric pessimlsm, that his
room is obviously of more value to his
fellow men than his presence. To the
rest Of US baby is the greatest of all
the world S delights, and never more so
than when it makes noises-of laugh
ter, of hunger or of mere sound and
fury. We see the light of the future
in its eyes; we know that its chubby
fists may one day strike valiant blows
for freedom and human progress; that
the germs of epochmaking ideas may
lie dormant in its mind; that It's life
may be worth a million Of such as ours;
we understand It's look of wonder, its
loud demand that its appetite be salts
fed, its hearty laugh and wholesouled
protestaIons, its grossness, innocence
and gusto, for to US, too, the world is
full OF lures and mysteries, all compact,
and life Is great adventure. If babies
were noiseless and perfect we might
lay them away in Conservatives to
grow up like lilies. But they have all
the human faults and frailties, virtues
and vices, joys and sorrows; and so we
take them to our hearts and cherish
them as of cur kind, knowing them for
editions de luxe of our own imperfect
selves.
Pity the poor man who hated babies.
What dull thing life must have been
to him. What hollow sound he heard
in laughter. What a vanity he saw in
tears

FIRE DEPARTMENT ESSENTIAL

Oakland has now reached a point in
the history of its progress when in the
course Of few days it will have a com
plete water and sewerage system; a
bountiful supply of potable water and
also means of protecting the property
of the town from fire, which has been a
menace and dread for so many wears.
There is one thing, however, that we
must not forget, and that is that while
we have plenty Of water and fire ap-
paratu', it is absolutely necessary to
have an organized body of men to use
them properly. Until we have a fire
department to take charge of the APP
paratuS, and to become drilled in the
rapid and efficient use of the same. a
company Of men invested with authori-
ty to take complete charge of fighting
a hre, we cannot get proper results
from the water system. Sometimes a
delay of few minutes means the loss
of building that might have been saw
ed, and men who know just where to
put their hands on the hose, and have
practiced making connections with the
nearest fire plug, can gain these few
minutes over the animated.
There is no reason why Oakland should
not have volunteer fire department
equal to any of our neighborlng towns,
or to any in the state, and there should
be no delay in its organization.
The fire at the residence of G.. S.
Hamill, Jr.. on Saturday, did very little
damage, and was promptly extinguish-
ed by the bucket brigade that reached
there shortly after the alarm was given.
Is this fire had at night. or on some day
when few people were on the streets,
the result might have been quite differ
ent.
There should be fire alarm that could
be quickly sounded either day or night,
and the hose and reels should be kept
in convenient place, where they can be
promptly reached, and all placed in
charge of the fire department.
We may have our department Or
gained and in good working order be-
fore the next fire occurs, and we NAV
not, but if we start now we have done
all we could.
We would suggest that the town
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1909-11-25

council send committee to some near
by town, Piedmont or Homecoming, both
of which have excellent fire companies,
and get the benefit of their experience,
and then call for volunteers at a pub
lie meeting called for this purpose and
organize the Oakland Fire Department
at once. We cannot get proper reduc-
ton in our insurance rates until this is
done, and while every citizen will turn
out and do his duty at the next fire, it
is so much better to have this matter
in the hands of a few who know what
to do, and how and when to do it.

CONVICT LABOR ON PUBLIC ROADS

As was announced in The Sun yester-
day, the Governor has appointed a COM
mission to draft law for the employ
ment of convict labor on the public
roads. The policy which will be en-
bodied in this law has long been urged
upon the State Government by labor or
CARNATIONS and those citizens who are
more especially concerned in the i'm
provement of the highways of the State.
Upon the part of some of the officials
there has been from time to time dis
enlargement as to the use of convict
labor on public works. At the session
of 1906 an act was passed comforting
upon the County Commissioners of the
various counties authority to employ
Jail prisoners undergoing punishment in
working on the roads or in preparation
of road material in yards or quarries
This was regarded as an excellent meas
ure, because in the counties jail prison
ers are kept in idleness at the expense
of the taxpayers, and confinement in the
Jails in the winter especially, is not re-
garded by the tramp or the worthless
vagabond as any kind Of punishment
This kind regards work as the severest
hardship. and if gong to jail meant 60
ing to work they would be far more
careful to keep out of the hands of the
law. Nevertheless, for some reason
which is not apparent, this law of 1906
does not seem to have produced any
noticeable results.
A law also gives authority for the
employment of inmates of the House
of Correction upon the road from Balti-
more to Washington, and this has been
done to some extent. In the regular
work of the State penal institutions it
has been found difficult to properly en-
ploy short-term prisoners. Only a few
of those who are committed to the peni-
Tertiary or House of Correction are
competent mechanics, and it has been
the policy in both those institutions to
utilize the time a prisoner serves in
training him in some occupation bv
which he can make an honest living
when he is discharged. But the short
term prisoners cannot be trained effec-
lively, and road work is what they
should be engaged in. Having only a
short term to serve, they will not risk a
longer Imprisonment by an attempt to
escape, and, therefore, strict guarding
will not be required. The outdoor work
is far more healthy than work in shops,
and while working on the roads convicts
will not come in competition with honest
la Dor
The employment Of convict labor on
the public roads IN certain of the South
ern States has been found to be alto
gether advantageous, and in some Of
them, more especially in the Carolinas,
great results have been achieved ard

small cost. Georgia has also embarked

SCHOOL MATTERS
a Reply to James D. Hamill Of the
Journal.
To the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican:
May ! have space in your columns tc
reply to James d. Hamill's attack on
the School Board in his paper of last
week?
want to say to Mr.. Hamill, first of
all, that the best description of him I've
ever heard was that from the eloquent
! tongue of Coz. Geo. A. Pearre in his adj
| dress at Friendsville. when he said the
people OfsGarrett county ought to tar
and feather him for publishing such
paper as he does. 1t is well known
fact that the Garrett Journal rarely has
! devotes its pages to criticism and abuse,
/ using the most incorrect and unchGste
language. Incorrect because he knows
no better, unchaste because his own
morals are not his boast of manhood,
A newspaper is a medium through
I which truth morality and information
is disseminated. Can the Journal claim
credit for any Of these commendable
characteristics? am sorry to say it's
doubtful. I've often heard it said that
what you see in the journal cannot be
relied upon and it has been my observa-
ton. In his attack on the School
| Board last week, he said Mr.. Stewart
Rodamer resigned at jennings because
he was not paid the salary he had been
promised. This is not true. Mr.. Roda-
mer was paid every cent he was prom
iSed. 1t is true that Mr.. Rodamer left
the school without saying word to the
School Board and without complying
with the law by giving thirty days notice.
The School Board don't know yet why
Mr.. Rodamer left the school, and have
not heard one word from Mr. Rodamer
concerning his leaving
Mr. HamiIl refers to the small salaries
paid teachers. What an unwise thing
it is for him to refer to the salaries paid
teachers now when there is chance to
compare them with the salaries paid
when he was president of the Board.
Mr. Hamill you had better keep quiet.
Your record as a school man has not
been forgotten by the teachers or the
people of this county. Seven and one
half months now, compared with thirty
| five days when you were president of
the Board.
For the year ending July 81, 1908. the
present Board paid to the teachers of
the county $39, 537 so. For the year
ending July 81, 1909, there was paid to
the teachers for salaries the sum of
! SAP, lll.09. Compare this with So, 343. 90,
in 1895, when James d. Hamill was
president of the Board
| These are only two items of COMPARE
son, but all the other matters in the
| conduct of school affairs under James
| D. Hamill as president compares in
about the same way with the present
management. What a simpleton he is
to attempt to delude the people by pub
fishing such things as he does, when the
! sad remembrance of his administration
of school affairs are so fresh in the
minds of the people. An intelligent
man would not throw himself liable to
such humiliation, but one who is incapa-
bic of appreciation in liable to do Just
| that kind of thing.
The fixing of salaries is the business of
the School Board, and is not in the hands
of the editor of the Journal.
Very respectfully,
| MEMBER OF THE BOARD

Charlie Reilly left for the Coast on

hot like to attract too much attention
by going on board too early. Charlie
is by nature modest and retiring and
being such prominent Honolulu

The captain will be delighted when
he finds that he has such distinguished
company on board and vii, no doubt,
at once present Charlie with the an
cient and honorable order of the mop.
Or, maybe, the featherweight may be
initiated into the secret fraternity of
brass polishers. Anyway, Charlie will
do some work for a change, and may
conclude to take up the sea or army as
profession, nit!
1t Is strange how men drift In and
out OF town, and never appear on the
passenger lists. Well, It is a cheap
way to travel and who can blame
them?
Reilly will no doubt return to Ho

Hold Shoot
March %

The Hawaiian Gun Club will hold its
annual championship shoot on the
2Sth inst. This affair is always re-
sponsible for some real good shooting,
and at least about three members are
in line to put away the most birds.
Some fine potting will be done be-
tween these first class shots before
the final winner Is found.
Austin, one of the best shots In the
Territory, has Just left town on his
usual round of the islands. He, how
ever, will be back in time to compete
in the championship shoot. w. X. An.
drews, who leaves for Porto Rico at
the end of the month, will make his
final appearance at the traps on cham
pionship day.
There Is Il chance that match will
be shot off between the Maui gunners
and the local men in the near future.
Puunene has a fine gun club and some
of the members are very good shots.
Tougher, Belts, Westcott, and n couple
of others are good enough for a long
run of birds at any time. j. NJ S.
Williams Is also n fine shot, but can:
not get much spare time to devote to
