What Does FIR. LoraditCh Receive and
Why was the Building of School
House Awarded TO the
Highest Bidder?

To the School Board Of Garrett County:
For some reason, best known to your
selves, you have refused and continue
to refuse to answer the question so fire.
quently propounded to you through The
press as to the amount Of salary paid
your secretary and examiner, and the
salary the teacher Of the manual train
ing department in the Oakland high
school receives. This question has been
entirely ignored by you.
The people of this county deserve
better treatment than that at the hands
of their public servants. They furnish
the money and they have a right to
know how it Is expended. You know,
or ought to know, that no busisess man
would for one moment tolerate or keep
in his employ a servant or employee
who, beng entrusted with his money,
would spend it and then when requested
to do so would refuse to tell how he
spent it. Why have not the people the
same right, and why should they be
treated differently? If YOU are not
ashamed of your acts, give the people
direct answer.
Another matter: 1t is asserted that
in awarding the contract for the cree
ton of the White Rock school house you
did not award the same to the lowest
responsible bidder, but awarded it to
relative of your secretary at a sum $40
or $50 in excess of the lowest bid; that
you permitted the party to whom the
contract was awarded to substitute
much smaller joist, studding, etc, than
was contained in the specifications fur
nished other bidders and which they
figured on in making estimates, and
that the foundation of the building was
allowed to be constructed in a manner
much inferior to the specifications.
Are these assertions true? Examine
the records and let the people know the
names of the parties bidding on the job,
the amount of each bid and the amount
you finally paid for the erection of the
house. Then let US know why the spec
itications were changed after the con-
tract was awarded. If these assertions
are not true you ought not to hesitate
to give the people the facts. If they
are true, then thepeople want an expla-
nation.
VIII YOU hesitate to publish the facts?
If so, why? PATRON.

R00SEVELTlSM NOT CAUSE
OF TIE WATERLOO
The Outlook, Of which rIr. Roosevelt
is Contributing Editor, Gives
Reasons.

DR.. Lyman Abbott, editor of the
Outlook. of which Mr.. Roosevelt is a
contributing editor, last week gave out
his Or. Abbott's) Interpretation of
the recent election embodied in an edi-
torial to appear in the next issue of that
publication.
Popular dissatisfaction with present
conditions, especially with the high
prices: indignation at the manifest con-
troll of the special interests of the
tariff revision, and still more at the de-
lenses and eulogies of the tariff bill;
wrath at the corruption and the hypo-
critrical pretenses disclosed in
certain influential Republican circles,
coupled with the forgetfulness of the
fact that the exposure and the publica-
tons were furnished by Republicans; a
growing conviction that there was an
alliance between the special interests
and the Republican oligarchy with the
belief that the easiest way to hit at it
was by voting with the opposition; in
difference at election which to many
voters appeared to be a contest rather
/ between persons than between princi-
/ pies an impression which too personal
/ campaign tended to increase;ga general
inclination in America to make a change
in political control from time to time,
an inclination which the political condi-
tions that prevail in solid states does
much to justify; some fears in certain
quarters, not less politically effective
because wholly underlined, lest the spec
| ter of radicalism should work havoc to
| business interests; the fact that the Re-
] publican party was divided between the
insurgents and the regulars, while. the
/ Democratic party freed tfrom the ira
ditions of Cleveland, the personality of
Bryan was for the first time in years
united. All these causes combined to
bring about political revolution.
But | do not believe the election
indicates a reaction and revolution.
Nor do | think that the Jack-o-lantern
bugaboo of Mr.. Roosevelt's imagined
monarchial ambitions cut any considera-
BILE figure in the election. The fact
that the greatest falling off in the Re-
publican vote was in the state of Penn
sylvania, where his voice was not once
heard in the campaign is significant if
not conclusive on the point. "

THE harvests of 1910 have been
practically completed, with results ex-
ceeding the expectations during the
growing period. Preliminary esti-
mates have been made of the produc-
ton of most of the important crops,
from which it appears that the aggre-
gate production of crops IN 1910 are
approximately rs per cent. greater
than the crops of 1909-and about 81
per cent. greater than the average an
nual production of sthe preceding five
years. Prices for important crops aver
aged on November l about "a per cent.
lower than year ago.
'The production of other crops in
1910, expressed in percentage OF the
average productions in recent years
mot compared with full CROP is esti-
mated as follows:
peaches, l13.1; hops, 1863; broom
corn, 1854; cranberries, 1854; sweet
potatoes, 104.9; sorghum, 1916; aspar-
agus, 1902. ); peanuts, 1928; cabbages,

revolution, and in some Of its aspects
stands, probably, without a parallel in
our politihal history The writer hereof
being a Democrat rejoices with such as
do rejoice and pities those who weep.
But party triumph like this should
convey other lessons than the mere
shoutings Of its votaries and the cleo
lions Of the elected If the successful
party can furnish nothing better than
that given by its vanquished opponents
then the victories at the polls will drop
from its hand as but witheredI leaves.
Was it General Grant who said in SUBJ
stance, that each Republican false move
was followed by Democratic blunder
sufficient to cancel the false move? So
far as this victory is limited to Congress,
barring the constitutional possibility of
a decision of the next presidential cleo
ton in the House of Representatives
is such victory won in the middle of
an opposing administration for the bet
terment of the government or the tran
guilty of the people? Will the thought
full and unbiased man sound in mind,
deny that to each administrationIshould
be secured the opportunity to maintain
the purpose and make good promises
for which it was called into being? Are
we convinced by experience that the
election of another Congress at the end
of the first two years of an administra-
ton is best for the country at large
Wise and patriotic as We're the found

Of the popular vote against him, but it
has frequently occurred and it seems to
negative the cardinal intention that the
will Of the majority must prevail. In
like manner they may not have clearly
forseen the embarrassments to the eX-
ecutive in his failure to have the new
Congress in harmony with his policies
and in sympathy with his designs This
mid-time election of a Congress is not
only calculated to seriously divert a
president from his high duties but to
check or defeat such legislative enact
ments as he may propose in the last two
years of his term. We saw how Mr..
Cleveland, one of the ablest executives
that has ever graced that high office,
was opposed far less in patriotism than
in malice, and we see how an opposing
Congress may be tempted to act during
the remaining two years of President
Taft.
Ii the method from-the foundation of
the government to this time of electing
a new Congress at the close of the first
two years of each administration has be-
come supcranuated or liable to disaster,
then, Mr. Editor why not advocate the
remedy of each Congress for four years,
equal to the term Of the president which
1t was chosen? RELLIM.

Will not Resign.

Peter II. Yost. member of the board
of School Commissioners of Garrett
county, Md, and wife were visiting rel
atives in Somerset county, Pa, over
Sunday. They drove over to Meyers
dale from their home three miles south
of Grantsville, Friday afternoon, and
spent the night with Elder Joel Gnagey
and family of Trans-M eyersdale. On
Saturday they proceeded to a point be-
yond Berlin where they visited Mrs.
Yost's brother, Edward Bauermaster,
and family, returning to Meyersdale
Sunday afternoon and remaining till
Monday morning as guests Of the edi-
tor of The Republican and family. Mr..
Yost has been subjected to many col
umns of editorial roasts from Oakland
papers since he became school commits
sioner, and survived them, so that he
no longer is afraid of editors. Because
commissioners have refused to do the
bidding of certain Garrett county poll
ticians, the Governor of Maryland has
been petitioned to demand the resigna-
ton of the school board, but Mr.. Yost,
for one, has made up his mind not to
resign. He says he never sought the
office, but snice it was thrust upon him,
he will discharge his Official duties as
he understands them, regardless of his
critics, and will not resign under fire or
otherwise. Mr.. Yost is one of Garrett
county's best farmers. -Meyersdale Re-
