NATIONAL ROAD BEING REPAIRED
That Portion From .Iohnson's to State
Line Being Put in Good Condition.

Concerning the Improvements now
being made on the old National Road
from Johnson's. four miles west of
Frostburg, to the Pennsylvania State
line, distance of about eighteen miles,
the Frostburg correspondent OF the
Cumberland Daily Times contributed
the following to his paper on Monday
of this week:
mo more important improvements to
the old National Pike have been under
taken in recent years than that now in
progress from Johnson's to the State
Line beyond Grantsville. The work is
being done under the supervision of Mr..
George G. Townsend, a most competent
engineer of this city and road-bullder,
whose excellent work is to be found in
many sections of the county. Mr.. Town
aend has secured the services of Mr..
James Crump, also an experienced road
builder, who has large number of men
making the road ready for the laying of
the macadam. The work will be pushed
as rapidly as the weather will permit.
Many teams are employed in the work
and Mr.. Crump is increasing the force
of men as fast as they apply. Culverts
and small bridges, of which there are
many, are being placed ahead of the
grading and surfacing gangs.
From Cumberland to Johnson's, four
miles west of Frostburg. the old Nation
al highway has been put in splendid con-
dition under the State Road Commission,
but the long stretch of mountainous
road between Johnson's and the Penn
sylvania State Line beyond Grantsville,
has been in a most shameful state of
repair for many years. 1t was almost
impossible at certain seasons of the
year for farmers west of Frostburg to
reach this city with their farm products
without accident often entailing great
expense in repairing their wagons.
Autoists using the road say it is the
worst public road in the country. Its
HtSlGClSu COHullIOli Ids DCeIl Jllt SUI
ject of severe criticism since good roads
have become such a great public neces-
sity. That this old National highway
between the East and the West, with
its traditional history, so closely con-
nected with that of the Nation, with
its beautiful scenery and attractive
towns and cities through which it passes,
should be allowed by Maryland to fall
into such disgrace, was beyond the I'M
derstanding of those passing over this
section of the road from other States
where good roads are the rule and not
the exception.
This is the age of good roads and
the old National pike with its treasured
memories will in time not far distant
come INTO its own as favorite overland
route between the great East and West.
1t is bound to become the great pleasure
highway of the future. BY the i'm
provement of this section of the old pike
Maryland is completing its claim to the
best good roads system in the United
States, taking it all in all. -

UriaS d. YOder.

Urias D. Yoder, a well known farmer
and highly esteemed man in the com
munity, died at his home near Grants
vile, Md, on Sunday, July 7th, Death
was due to cancer of the stomach after
a long period of suffering He was born
near Summit Mills, Pa, about SO years
ago, but the greater part of his married
life was spent near Grantsville He is
survived by a widow and six children
three sons, Saul. Albert and John u, of
Grantsvile, and three daughters, Mrs.
Lydia Petersen, Mrs. Lena Hostetler
and Mrs. Susan Took, all of near Mey-
ersdale.
He is also survived by six brothers
Solomon D., Moses D., John D., Daniel
D., Jacob d. and Jonas d. Yoder all
sons of the late David Yoder who was
one of the prominent farmers of Elk
Lick township tor many years. Urias D.
Yoder was man of noble character and
one of the best farmers in Garrett
county He was sometimes known as
the Apple King" on account of his
large and we'll kept orchard. He also
specialized on thoroughbred poultry and
Jersey cattle. In fact he had few
equals in this section as horticultural,
poultry fancier. stockraiser and general
farmer. His death so soon after the
prime of life is a distinct loss to the
community.
Mr.. Yoder had been complaining of in
testinal trouble for the past year or two.
Last fall he and his wife went tn Ian
caster, Pa. where both took treatment
of some eminent specialists. Mr.. Yoder
returned home feeling better, but soon
reIapsed again and his condition grew
steadily worse until death relieved his
suffering.
He was a lifelong faithful member of
the Amish Mennonite church. The
funeral service was held at the Niverton
church at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning,
Rev. Lewis M. Beachy of Aurora, W.
Va, officiating. Interment was in the
Niverton cemetery.

WHILE Mr.. Wilson seems for the time
being to be the candidate of a harmoni-
Gus democracy, he will not rally to his
support the people of the country who
are interested in its progress and pros
peritY. Mr.. Wilson is an avowed free
trader of the worst class, that is, he is
an economic free trader who is opposed
to every .vestage of protection to any
American industry, who stands upon
platform which, like the platform of
1892, declares that protective tariff is
unconstitutional. This alone should re-
suit in his defeat without considering
that in the past few months he has
changed his mind almost weekly if not
daily upon the great questions of the
dav. To bolster up some of his present
views he admits that he has been wrong
all his life and has taught wrong doc
trines, but for the sake of expediency
he is willing now to accept the socialis-
tic and populistic doctrines of the day
in his hopes of gaining presidency.

IHE PEOPLES FORUM.
The Johns Hopkins University Tech
meal School.

To the Editor OF The Republican:
Dear Sir
The enclosed circular presents the
first announcement the University is
making concerning the new Technical
School established by the General As
semblY. In view of the great interest
in this new work, will you kindly publish
the statement in full?
Yours truly,
E. F. BUCHNER.
Baltimore, July II, 1912.
Although the Act of the Legislature
providing for the creation of School
with the Johns Hopkins University did
nOtcontemplate the opening of the School
prior to October, 1913, the University is
anxious to show its appreciation of the
trust committed to it by beginning the
preliminary work of technical education
at the earliest possible moment.
While 1t is clearly impossible to or
ganize and open the School of Tech
nology in October, 1912, the University
authorities have decided to take the
first step at once. There are now in
the University courses of instruction
which are essential to technology.
Properly qualified students planning to
enter the School of Technology, when
it is organized, will be admitted in
October, 1912. They are advised the
regular entrance examinations of the
University. Those unable to meet the
entrance requirements in full, but who
pass satisfactory examinations in Eng
lish, in Mathematics or Latin and in
French or German, will be admitted to
such courses as they are prepared to
enter. (See catalogue of the College of
Arts and Sciences, 1912. page CO., In
order to enable worthy and deserving
students to enter the courses prelimin-
airy to technical education this year, the
University has also determined to offer
to a limited number of Young men IN
Maryland temporary or special scholar
ships providing free tuition. The tenn
porary scholarships will be purely voun-
tarY on the part of the University and
will not be the scholarships provided by
the law establishing the Technical
School. The holders of these special
scholarships, however, may be eligible
TO compete later on for the regular
scholarships as provided in the law. The
special scholarships will be good for one
year. 1t will be obviously difficult to
apportion them on any systematic basis
1t is suggested, therefore, that any
young man in the State whose prelimin
airy education is such as to qualify him
to take the special courses referred to,
and who desires to enter the University
in the fall of 1912, shall communicate
with the Registrar of the University
and receive from him the necessary
blank form of application. In case the
candidate wishes to apply for scholar
ship, he should give his reasons and
state all the facts bearing upon the
matter. In September the application
will be considered on its merits.

A FREE TRADE CHALLENGE

The Baltimore platform says fatty:
we declare 1t to be a fundamental
principle of the Democratic party that
the Federal Government under the Con-
stitution has no right or power to impose
or collect tariff duties EXCEPT FOR
THE PURPOSE OF REVENUE, and
we demand that the collection of such
taxes shall be limited to the necessities
of government honestly and economi-
cally administered
I'VE denounce the Republican pre-
tense on that subject and assert that
AMERICAN WAGES ARE ESTAB-
LISHED BY COMPETITIVE CONDI-
TIONS AND NOT BY THE TARIFF"
Nothing could be clearer than this
unequivocal oathiof allegiance by the
Democratic party, subscribed in its
platform, to absolute Free Trade
Never mind whether American mills
must be closed;we shall not have tariff
to keep them open-only tariff to get
revenues.
Never mind whether American wages
must fall; we shall not have tariff
to protect the American wage-earner
against the competition of cheap foreign
labor
Never mind whether the American
workman's bread and butter shall be
forfeit to our policy; we shall not have
a tariff to assure either the bread on
his table or the butter to spread on its
slices.
The Democratic party couldn't if it
would, for the Constitution, it holds,
gives it no power and no right to make
tariff for the protection of American
industries and American wage earners.
And the Democratic party wouldn if
if it could, for it will not yield its decree
that American wages must be governed
by the usual conditions of other coun-
tries, however povertystricken is their
labor
There is the challenge to all wage
earners working in American industries
that could be thrown wide open by that
Free List for which the Baltimore
platform declares.
And back of it, as the Democratic
candidate for President, is man who
is tree Trader from the crown of his
head to the soles of his feet. A college
professor. Not a producer Not a
payer of wages out of products made
and sold by him and his employees. Not
receiver of wages, his share, big or
little, coming out of what he produces
or helps to produce for sale in COMPETE
ton with other perhaps,
under the Free List, pauper labor pro-
ducers. No. Not even practising Free
Trader up against the actual conditions
of producing in competition with your
own people or the people of the world.
No, not even that. A scholastic Free
Trader. A Free Trader working out
the problem, not with machinery, raw
materials and men, but in books, in
lectures, in epigrams.
Yes, Woodrow Wilson is a Free
Trader. Not in the mill, not in the
factory, not in the market place; at the
blackboard in the schoolroom. And he
believes his doctrine He believes it
with all his heart He believes it as the
deeply earnest clergyman believes his
Gospels. And, if he can, he will give
his doctorine to the American people to
practise.
Well, before they vote on it the wage
earners of the United States have four
months to think over this program of
Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic
party striking clean home to their bread
and butter.
