Have School Patrons ANY Rights?

To the Editor of The Republican:
AS patron of the Oakland school,
am vitality interested in its welfare, and
my interest arises through the training
my children are to receive there The
vital question for the parents to con-
slider, in my judgment, is. this: have
they any rights, connected with the
education of their children, that the
School Board is bound to recognize?
If the School Board is a law unto it.
self, and If its dictum is final upon ali
matters which it undertakes to decide,
the people of Oakland are reduced to a
pitiable condition, indeed.
But | do not believe that this is the
case, and further, | do not believe the
State Board of Education will hold if
the matter is properly laid before them.
that we are compelled to submit to the
arbitrary determination of the local
Board.
| believe the State Board will decide
that the wishes of the patrons of the
school are entitled to the first consider
alton and that when they indicate, as
hey have in this instance, what their
wishes are, so far as the incumbency of
the principalship is concerned, the &C
ton or the local Board will be overruled
and the will of the people be allowed to
rule PATRON.

MR.. G|ST BLAIR THE ADJ
M|N|STRAT|0N CANDIDATE
Announces His Platform and Is Conf
dent OF Success.
special to The RErUBLIcANJ

SILVER SPRING, MD.-With the with
drawal of George A. Pearre from the
race for the Republican nomination for
Congress Gist Blair, of this county, be-
comes the most formidable candidate
for the honor of representing this dis
trict in Congress.
The fact that the administration has
placed its stamp of approval upon the
candidacy of Mr.. Blair gives him ire
mendous advantage. Not often does
the President take an interest in party
primary fight but the exception was
made in this instance on account of the
great danger of losing the district to
the Democrats in the November cleo
ton.
The President looks upon Mr. Blair as
being the best qualified candidate to
carry the District in the general cleo
ton and it was for that reason that he
summoned him to Beverly and urged
HIM to remain in the contest. Mr..
Blair's inclination was to retire in the
hope of contributing to party harmony,
but the President disagreed.
AS ga result of the new conditions which
have arisen in the Sixth District situa-
ton, Blair has set about organizing his
forces in every county. He promises
to make the most vigorous campaign
during the next two weeks ever seen in
purely primary fight.
In carrying out this plan the Mont
gomery County candidate has announced
his platform. He asks support upon
the strength of his determination, If
elected, to become the Districts bust
ness as well as political agent. He says
that he will divide his time between de-
veloping the resources of Western
Maryland and voting and working for
the things Western Maryland wants of
Congress.
Speaking of the duties which the
government owes to the Sixth District,
Mr.. Blair SAYS every important town in
it should have a postOffice building; that
the Lincoln Memorial Highway should
be built through the western counties
and that Congress should authorize the
erection of fuel testing plant in Ale
gany County. These are among the
first things that he will work for, he
adds

A MINSTREL SHOW
Will Be Given at ut. Lake Park Next
Thursday Night.

The entertainment to be held at the
Auditorium in Mt. Lake Park, on Thurs
day, Aug. rs, promises to be one of I'M
usual merit.
The chorus of fifty is being trained
by Mrs. Elsie Fisher Kincheloe, well
known musician of Wheeling, w. Va,
where a similar entertainment, manag-
ed by her, was given last winter with
overwhelming success.
Mr.. Herman C. Rakemann, who will
have charge of the instrumental music,
has for years led the orchestra in the
Belasco Theatre in Washington, besides
being connected with the Symphony
Orchestra, so that very great musical
treat, as well as the fun of the min
strels, is in store for those who attend.
But even if this were not the case, it
would be the part of wisdom for the
people of Oakland and its vicinity to
patronize the entertainment. The OBJ
ject of the Woman Civic Club of Mt
Lake Park, under whose auspices it is
given, is to establish and maintain golf
links, to build good tennis courts, to do
landscape gardening, and, in short, to
make of Mt. Lake Park such summer
resort as will permanently attract sub
stantial people.
There is not a farmer in Garrett coun-
tv who would not behelped by the better
ment of that market, nor business
man in Oakland who should be inditfer-
ent to these improvements. We bespeak
for the entertainment very large audi
ence.

WATER TRAIN IN SERVICE
Baltimore and Ohio Compelled to
Haul Supply from Oakland.

The water train, composed of a num-
Der of tank cars, has again been placed
on the road by the B. & o. for the pur-
pose of hauling water from the Oakland
pumping station to points west, includ-
ing Terra Alta and Hutton, and accord
ing to officials of the road if the drought
continues an additional train will have
to be placed in service to supply water
for engines at Rowlesburg, the river
water at that point being unfit for use
when it gets at low stage.
For two or three years past the B. &
o. has been put to great expense and
inconvenience in supplying water for it's
engines at points west of Oakland. The
water used here as well as that hauled
away is drawn from the Little Yough.

by the County Treasurer upon order
of the County Commissioners.
Mr.. Samuel B. Taylor, of Garrett
county, who was injured on June 3rd,
at DOdson, and who three days later
died in the Western Maryland hospital,
was one of the victims. He left no I'M

The other man was Cleaver Poole, who
was instantly killed on the Potomac

clearly seen.
Mrs. Poole has been left with her
three little children, and while money
cannot compensate for her loss, still
the sum derived from the relief fund
will go far towards alternating the
struggles of the widow in keeping her

Would Put 1t Before the Governor.

To the Editor of The Republican,:
understand the School Board held
meeting recently at which no action
was taken looking to the ratification of
what the great majority of the patrons
of the Oakland School regard as a seri-
Gus blunder on the part of the Board in
turning down the petition of the people
for the retention of Prof. Palmer as the
principal of the school.
From all that can gather, it would
now appear that the School Board con-
siders it piece of effrontry on the part
of the people, and that such has been
its position all along, for them to think
for a moment that they had any rights
which the Board was required to respect
or give consideration to in this matter.
If such be the views of the School
Board, it seems to me it is time that an
appeal were made to a higher power
and let the State Board pass upon the
matter, and then, if the people cannot
secure their rights, put it up to the
Governor and let US find out if he is the
friend and protector of the people
Why not ask the Governor to remove
the School Board from office? Let him
say whether they have transcribed
their authority or not, and if they have,
then let them be replaced with men
who will respect the wishes of the peo-
pie.
In other words, let us eliminate the
last vestige Of politics from our school,
and let it be conducted with the sole and
single purpose of giving the children Of
Oakland the very best advantages pos
sible, regardless of politics, politicians,
political bosses, family connections and

School Bet;erment and Not Creed the
Issue.

To the Editor Of The Republican:
regret that our school matter has
drifted into a discussion Of the merits
of Roman Catholicism vs.. Protestant
ism, for | do not believe anything Of
value to either side Of such a cOntro-
versy will come out OF the discussion.
| believe that the religious question
was injected into the matter with the
purpose Of drawing the attention of the
people away from the real issue.
The patrons Of the Oakland school pc
titioned the School Board in overWhelm-
ing numbers to retain Mr.. Palmer as
principal Of the High School The
School Board without reason, so far as
the people know, turned down their
petition and elected another to that
position. The puny explanation offered
BY the School Board a short while apo
did not contain single reason satisfy
ing 70 any patron Of the school for its
action, and therefore | am justified in
saving that what the Board did was
without reason to the people. Perhaps
the reasons advanced by the President
Of the School Board in the article which
appeared over his signature two or
three weeks ago were all satisfying to
that august body, but | have vet to
hear a single patron Of the school agree
that the action of the Board, in turning
down the modest request of the people
even upon its own showing, was justi
fed.
Don't let US get away from the issue.
Let US keep the main question to the
front, and renew and keep on renewing
the question of the right of petition I'M
til we get a satisfactory answer from
the School Board as to why 1t turned
down and ignored the expressed wish of
the people as to who should preside
over the educational interests of their
children. PARENT.

.PEARRE RET|RES FROM THE
CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST
Announces His Withdrawal in Letter
to The American.

Washington, August 15.-Col. George
A. Pearre was in Washington this even
ing and in a letter to The American an
nOunced his retirement from the con-
test for the nomination for Congress in
the Sixth Maryland district
Mr.. Pearre said that he had come to
this conclusion after a deliberate con-
sideration, realizing that after serving
his district and state for six consecutive
terms ~ years., it was about time for
him to look out for himself and return
to his law practice. Mr.. Pearre de-
clined to talk OF his action, saying he
had said all he desired to say at present
in his letter announcing his withdrawal.
The letter is as follows:
Editor of The Baltimore American:
Dear Sir-Will you kindly state to
the public through your columns my
withdrawal as a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for Congress in
the Sixth District of Maryland?
After considering the matter well, |
have determined that, out of consid-
Grafton for the interest of the party and
my own welfare, it is wise that | should
withdraw from this contest.
During my Is years of political activ-
ity and service to my party and the
people, have been compelled to neglect
my personal affairs, and now find that
1t is imperative that should give them
more care than the unremitting devo-
ton which | have given to the public
interests ever since have been in pub
lie office will permit. Moreover, the
people of the Sixth District of Maryland
and my party have so unusually hOnored
me by sending me to the Congress of
the United States as their representa-
tive for more successive terms than any
one who has ever represented this dis
trict heretofore that feel that, in re-
turn for their confidence, | owe an
obligation to my party which at this
time can most happily be met by my
withdrawal from this fight.
Although | have been unfortunate
enough to incur decided opposition upon
the part of those who have been anxious
to succeed me, and who through a num-
of unsuccessful campaigns for the NOM
nation have sought to create anlmOsi-
ties against me among the people, |
find, from a very careful review of the
district, that | still enjoy to as great
degree as anyone could expect the con-
fidence of the disinterested and patriotic
citizens Of the Sixth district of Mary
land.
Retiring from active political life at
this time, | carry with me this comfort
ing conviction and shall ever feel CRATE
full TO my party and my fellow citizens
for the unusual honors which have been
bestowed upon me by the fair minded
and patriotic citizens of the best con
gressional district in the state Of Mary
land

Call, and the two men in the local Jail
are said to have planned and carried
out one of the most ingenious robbery
schemes that has come to the notice ot
the authorities in long time
According to the confession of
Thompson, which was made a month
ago but was kept secret pending the
capture of Johnson. Cooper was to
bring his former wife to Stockton on
the 1870 a. m. Santa Fe train during
the rush of 49, celebration. The other
two were to arrive on the p. m train
and complete arrangements for the rob-
berry. This was carried out and when
Cooper and Mrs. Williams arrived they
proceeded down the streets decided
upon, were held up and Mrs. Williams
was robbed of her diamonds Thomp-
son, however got cold feet" at the
last minute and when they passed the
tree behind which he was hiding he
broke and ran. Cooper so the woman
said, helped JohAson rob her.
1t is likely that Thompson will be
discharged because of his having turned
states evidence, as it was through him
that the officers were able to locate
Johnson.
