editorial became newspaper classic Ii printed IN differ

WHY NOT CLEAN up?

In the springtime young man light
ly turns to thoughts of love, woman
to thoughts of housekeeping; and
while we would like to escape the I'M
pleasant features that accompany the
spring housekeeping, we know that it
is a necessity and appreciate its many
advantages, both from a sanitary and
an artistic standpoint.
In the springtime town needs a
housekeeping, and while we believe
that our town is.a model in this respect,
we feel that some improvement could
be made. Many vacant plots of ground
are in an unslghtly condition and there
are some back yards and alleys that
can be put into a more presentable con-
dition.
Would it not be good idea to have a
day appointed, at an early date, for
the general cleaning up Of the town?
We feel sure that each property owner
would take pride in having his grounds
look as well as his nelghbor's.
We would like to see the ladies or
ganize Civic Club to create a new
interest in identifying and keeping
beautiful all Of Oakland. This has
been tried in other towns, and has al
ways met with success. These clubs
have raised money in many cases to
defray expenses, and have personally
superintended the work.
If we have a day appointed by the
Mayor to make start along this line,
we believe that a good start will be
made in the right direction.

FOR A SAFE AND SANE FOURTH

Five thousand three hundred and
seven person were killed, blinded,
manned, or injured on July 4th, 1909,
celebrating our day of Independence,
and 81, coo have been killed, blinded or
otherwise injured on this day in the last
seven years, and most of them children.
Is there any reason why this slaugh-
ter should be continue, or is there any
reason why Independence Day cannot
be celebrated in safe and sane manner.
In the cities the hospitals prepare for
July 4th each year as they would for
battle, and the preparation is not in
vain, as they have always been filled
with victims.
SO far as we know there has never
been a fatal accident in Oakland during
a Fourth of July celebration, and yet
we have no assurance that we will not
add our share to the great total this
year.
There is just one remedy: Let the
Town Council pass an ordinance pro-
hibiting the firing of any cannon, gun,
pistol, toy pistol, or fire arm of any
kind. and the explosion of any kind of
frecracker or combustible fire works;
and also to prohibit the sale of any of
these, making the penalty for breaking
the ordinance such that it will be OBJ
served; providing, however, that an ex-
hibition of fire works might be given
with consent, and under the direction of
the Mayor and Town Council.
We would like to see big celebra-
ton of Independence Day this year,
with a trades display, parade, athletic
games. picnics. etc., the good old fash
toned Fourth, but minus the danger of
the toy pistol, the fire crackers, and the
fire works.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1910-05-05

mayors of many cities have issued
proclamations that their people Join in
honoring mothers. The churches have
also taken up the idea and the ministers
are doing everything in their power to
make the movement a popular one.
Maybe you are one of those mistaken
individuals who think there is no
national holiday. Of course, its really
takes an act of Congress to make a
Simonpure national holiday, but that
the people themselves have decreed
"Mothers' Day" is the nearest ap-
proach to the Congressional article.
1t was Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadel-
phia, to whom the idea came while she
was planning to commemorate the an
niversary of her mothers death. Sew
eral years ago, while she was wonder
ing what flowers she should lay on her
mothers grave, it occurred to her that
it would be a beautiful tribute to all
mothers, the living as well as the dead,
if their children on given day would
unite in the simple wearing of white
flowers.
Miss JARVIS thought the white carna-
ton would be the most appropriate
blossom for Mothers Day and these
are her reasons: Its wilderness stands
for purity, its form for beauty, its wide
field of growth for charity, its lasting
qualities for faithtulness, its fragrance
for love-all attributes of the true
Mother"
But that's only the beginning of the
story. Miss Jarvis asked everybody to
wear a white carnation in his coat lapel
on certain day in honor of his mother.
The idea spread rapidly and on the APP
pointed day scarcely man appeared on
the streets.of Philadelphia whose coat
was not adorned with the floral emblem.
Boston adopted the-custom few weeks
later, and white carnation, unless it
had beenlordered in advance, could not
be had for love or money on Mother
Day."
The day is also made a special oc-
casion for sending flowers to invalids,
to the sick in hospitals and to the
orphans in public and UNCONVENTIONAL
institutions.

THAT sort of politics that heeds the
wishes of few politicians rather than
those of the people is the subject for
caustic comment on the part of several
papers in the counties of the First Ju-
dicial Circuit anent the appointment as
associate judge of E. Stanley Toadvln
by Governor Crothers for the upexpired
term of Judge Holland, who was retired
at the last session of the General As
sambly.
In editorials these papers refer to the
appointment as petty politics" on the
part of the Governor, and predict a
fight in the primaries preceding the
election in November, 1911. Harry l..
D. Stanford was the choice of the peo-
pie Of the circuit. Friends of Mr.. Stan
ford have no hesitancy in saying that
he will go after the nomination for the
full term Mr.. Toadvin also desires
the nomination.
