WHAT THE REPUBLICAN
WOULD LIKE TO SEE

What the Republican would like to sec
accomplished during the present year
l. The National pike completed to the
State line; the State road completed to
Accident; work at least begun on State
road from Accident to FrIendsville and
Grantsville, and several sections of road
built under the Shoemaker law.
2. The Board of County School Com
missioners receive the money they SO
much need to put the school system of
the county in more efficient condition;
to build model school house such as is
badly needed and deserved at Accident,
which is splendid location tor county
hlgh school; to build new and enlarged
school building at Swanton, which is an
absolute necessary; also new buildings
at other points; the school term increas-
ed to eight months and better salary
for the teachers.
8. The adoption of county wide To-
cal option law.
4. The acreage of land in cultivation
largely increased, producing such crops
as oats, buckwheat and potatoes, Tor
which this county is noted. Garrett
county should furnish the eastern shore
of Maryland with all the seed potatoes
they require, instead of sending to the
State of Maine for them. We came far
short OF raising enough buckwheat to
meet the demands of our millers. Oats
are shipped into the county in car lead
lots. Garrett county should be shippers
instead of importers.
5. The farmers raising more horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs, as well as in
crease the number of chickens, eggs and
butter
Could we have wish our granted as
above there would be more money in
the county, consequently more business
for the merchants, more work for the
mechanics, homes improved, more ma
chinery on the farm, and instead of 65
per cent. of the county being in the
woods, there would be beautiful mead
ows, rich pasture fields, well-filled barns
and graineries, and happy and well
contented people.

hauling less merchandise and this cuts
down the number of employees needed
to operate them and restricts construc-
ton and equipment purchases. Money
has been scarce in the great banking
centres and at high rates of interest
aud borrowers have found it prudent to
keep close to shore. The high cost of
living continues but with the disadvan-
tage to the wage earners reduced earn
ing capacity, and with many skilled
workmen out of a job, the leaders of
the Democratic party have speeded
the passage of the new currency legis-
lation in the hope that by this means
disaster may be aVerted by widening
the basis for credit. All patriotic
ciuzens are hoping for the best but
there is serious unrest and anxiety
throughout the country over conditions
and growing feeling that the new
policies now being put into operation
are producing results entirely different
from what was promised

the people went out and worked on that
day, and it was election day, and they
built good, safe road for their little
ones to travel from childhood to man
mood and womanhood. Yea, even to a
ripe old age, and all the people were
glad
Then the hospital was out of a job,
the carving knives were turned into
pruning hooks and with the pruning they
/ judiciously pruned the grating politi-
clans in the region of their Adams ap-
pie, which was good place as the effect
was all that could be desired.
But the philanthropist felt peeved
when he saw he had expended so much
money foolishly
The good people of New York are fig
urlng on building some big hospitals or
/ sanitariums to take care of and patch
up the alcoholic. Will they never see a
light?
What foolishness, why not remove
the cause and the hospitals will not be
needed, neither will the insane asylums
or jails have to be enlarged.
Say! Will you ever see a light?
How about the saloons in your town?

1918 HAS PASSED AWAY.

The old year has stepped aside to
make room for the New Year. The old
year was good to Oakland in very many
ways. We escaped destructive fires;
we were free from epidemIcs of all
kinds; no financial crisis was experience
ed, and no calamity of any kind was
permitted to affiict u.s. AS we look back
and review the 365 days through which
we have passed we cannot help being
thankful to the Giver of all good gifts
for His blessings and mercies which have
been ours to enjoy. Truly our lines
have fallen in pleasant places and we
have been greatly favored as commu-
nifty.
AS city we are delightfully."- located;
we are W ell provided with the necessi-
ties of life; we are surrounded by peace
and plenty. Oakland is a city of beau
tiful homes, with the conveniences
which add to the comfort and pleasures
of life. Oakland has good churches and
faithful pastors. successful physicians
who care for its health, we'll equipped
school buildings and capable teachers IN
the recitation room. merchants who
provide well and literally for our every
days needss.as was proven.by last year S
record.
Our local market throughout the past
year provided well for the wants of the
inner man, with the best to be had and
IN great variety, and more than that,
shipped to other markets large quaint
ties of flood stuff" We had plenty
for ourselves and to spare
During the year which has Just expir.
ed the spirit of improvement prevailed.
New houses were built; other houses
were remodeled and enlarged; unsightly
places were made presentible, and ell
through the year the thought of clean
er and more sanitary Oakland was in
evidence.
During the year the suburban homes
around Oakland were multiplied attrac-
tive comfortable homes. The financial
statements of our banks show an in
crease in the wealth of the community
What is true of Oakland is true all
over Garrett county. There has been d
steady advance throughout the year.
New house, new barns and silos are seen
in what ever direction you travel Neat
ly painted houses, vines and flowers in
the grassy front yards have increased as
the year passed away. Signs of thrift
and enterprise are noticed everywhere.
All through the year, all over the coun-
ty, the spirit of progress and develop
ment has been manifest. Our people
are better housed, better dressed. better
able to live than they were one year
ago.
Here nd.there.beautiful church edi-
fees have been, dedicated to the AL
mighty, another ievIdence of the pros
perity of our citizenship.
The year 1913 certainly treated the
inhabitants of this mountain region with
a generous hand. Because of its kind
ness may we icatchaan inspiration to
more earnest work, for greater success
in all lines.and for more noble and useful
lives, and when the New Year of today
shall become the Old Year of tomorrow
and we review its past, may the record
be brighter, more hopeful and more sat
isfactory.

A FABLE.

Once upon a time man who had wax
ed rich on special privileges decided that
as old age was coming on, it was about
time to do little good. Sohe built big
hospital and supplied it with doctors.
nurses, saws and carving knives, in a
valley below precipice around which
ran narrow dangerous road that the
people of the community had to travel
daily, to take care of and patch up the
poor victims who didn't happen to be
dead after their fall.
And the good people rose up and call
ed him blessed; voted him a gold media
and the ladies sent him boquetsa nd
wanted to kiss the dear philanthropist.
and all the people were pleased and the
politicians were content.
About that time along came hard
headed individual who used his thinker,
who took look and said: 'Why didn I
that old fossil take part of that money
and build good, safe road around that
precipice and do away with all those
cripples and dead ones. Don't you know
that good roads pay?"
All at once the public saw light

WESTON WINS An
Il INNING GAME

The baseball season for the coun-
try adjacent to Pendleton was ush-
cred in yesterday at Weston when a
local team went to that town to meet
the home guard. The Pendleton
boys found the locals little too
heavy for them and were defeated in
eleven innings, five to six
The ground was rather muddy and
the ball got slick at times which ac-
counts for so many runs. "Pink'
Gillette, the Pendleton saliva artist
caused eleven men to walk back to
the bench and allowed only three
hits while nine hits were secured off
the Weston pitcher. He struck out
nine batters.
Pendleton chalked up all five OF
her scores in the early part of the
game and had Weston on her hip un-
til the seventh, when a swell collec-
tion OF kicks allowed them to score
five runs and tie the score. This went
on until the eleventh. At this period
Miller of Weston must OF got scared
at the percentage against him for he
nicked Gillette for three sacks, and
poor peg to third allowed him to
score the winning run. The Pendle-
on team played the following lineup:
