The twin children, boy and girl, of
Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene Church both
died this week after a very short ILL
ness. The parents thus sorely afflict-
ed have the most sincere sympathy of
their friends in this time of distress.
The Daily Crouch says S. A. Crary
looked in on the republican state con-
vention at Denver. Our readers will
recollect that County Treasurer R. l..
Christy furnished US a picture two
years ago of Crary looking in on
republican convention.
The Lamar band and a large bunch

is at the bottom.

stantial farmer, to mourn his loss.
The body was shipped there for in

The Insidious Lobby

When any set Of men try to per-
suade President Wilson or the MEM
bers Of congress that they have a
right to express their views about
their own business to the people they
have chosen to do their governmental
business for them, they are forthwith
denounced as an "insidious lobby"

Blows Up

The two most exciting features at
Association Park on Sunday were the
blowing up given Umpire Wilson by
the crowd and the one given to Ivan
Rhinebarger, secretary Of the Lamar
band, by Charley Thomas. The latter
was through a cigar with a sky rock
ct concealed in its innards. Ivan says
a few such would cure man OF the
tobacco habit. Both blow-ups caused
a rush Of spectators that most created
a panic.

PROHIBITION A MENACE TO
THE WORKERS.

A favorite statement of the prohibit
tionists is that the use of alcoholic
drink is the chief cause Of crime.
Is it true?
Who are the people that fill our
prisons? With an occasional eXcep-
ton they come from among the poor.
Yet the poor use less alcoholic drink
than the rich, for the simple reason, if
for no other, that they cannot afford
as much If it was drink that caused
crime there would be propOrtionately
more rich people than poor in prison.
1t has been shown that crime multi
plies as times are hard and dimin-
ishes as economic conditions improve.
At the same time statistics show that
the consumption of alcoholic drink
diminishes as times are hard, and in
creases as economic conditions i'm
prove. In fact. the beer consumption
in Pthe United States constitutes the
most delicate barometer of industrial
conditions. falling off in times Of
money stringency and slack work,
while increasing when good times re
turn
Accordingly. crime multiplies as
the consumption of alcoholic drink de
creases. and diminishes as the con
sumption of alcoholic drink increases.
If we were to argue like the prOhi-
bitionists, we might say that the in
creased use of alcoholic drink dimin-
ishes crime, while the diminution of
its use causes crime to increase. But
we do not want to draw any such
conclusion. All we want to show is
the utter futility oftrying to charge
crime to drink
And yet it is not so perfectly absurd
to suggest that to withhold alcoholic
drink from the masses may multiply
crime The psychologist realizes that
when the means of recreation are
withdrawn and the mental depression
produced by lack of work and the
clamor of children for bread, is aggra-
waited by the dull mOnotony Of an I'M
stimulated life, mental conditions are
created which are favorable for such
explosions as manifest themselves in
crime and disorder
Nothing would be better calculated
to generate that restlessness which
loads uncOu sciOue1v tO outbreaks

AN EXTRAVAGENT CONGRESS.

The Philadelphia Ledger is one of the
most independent newspapers published
in this country. 1t speaks from an I'M
based standpoint. Here is what it says
in recent issue:
Congress can do two things which
will be benefit to the entire country.
One is to put into operation a new regi-
me CT economy. The other is to adjourn
and go home.
The United States government has
become our most watchful institution.
1t squanders even more money uselessly
than the eXtravagant governments of
large cities. While every individual
and every corporation has been driven
to reduce expenses to the utmost limit
our federal government swings reck-
lessly ahead with its waste.
There is no attempt at Washington to
reduce expenses. There is a vast deal
of talk among public officials about lack
of efficiently in operating railroads and
other business. but the government
does nothing to improve it's own effici-
ency.
Bureaus multiply, and, while official
salaries are not high. 1t is also true that
the amount of work produced by the
average government employee falls far
short of what is expected in any private
enterprise.
If Congress practiced the economy it
breaches to Others it would not now be
driven to tinkering with new form of
taxation at the very moment when the
people are OvertaXed.

COMMENTS OF THE FAIR.
Some Corrections in Premium List
Made and Management Return
Thanks,

In our very complete but hurriedly
prepared report of the Fair as publish
ed in these columns last week, several
errors have been noted which the mana
cement desires corrected.
In the awards on live stock an error
is noted in the exhibit made by Ex-
Senator w. McCulloh Brown, who was
the exhibitor of herd of thorough
bred ShOrthorns and who carried off the
first premium on three year old COW.
Mr.. P A. Dixon is credited with an
exhibit of thoroughbred Jersey cattle,
when he should have been credited
with an exhibit of Aberdeen Angus
cattle, which carried off a number of
premiums.
In che home product and fancy work
exhibits, a number of errors were made
which have been corrected and which
were of minor Importance.
Little was said of the very excellent
Fruit exhibit, which was one of the
chief attractions of the Fair and which
brought EXPLANATIONS of applause from
all who looked upon it. Ex-senator
Brown and his able assistant, C. F.
Dawson had charge of this feature and
showed their ability in its arrangement
in an orderly and attractive manner.
Nine barrels of this exhibit were pack
ed for cold storage by Mr.. Brown and
were sent to Baltimore to be exhibited
at the State Horticultural show.
The comments on the Fair have been
nothing but praise and one of the
strongest in its praise comes from Prof.
Taliferro. Dean of the Agricultural
College who was one of the judges OF
our live stock, who in letter to Presi-
dent Sliger says:
1T was a great pleasure to be at
your Fair and to study your splendid
exhibits. Your county ought to loom
larger IN the public eye than it does.
Its merits entitie it to high standard
from an agricultural view point, as we'll
as from Others
Miss Mildred Dixon was awarded first
prize on devils food cake.
The silver cup offered by James D.
Hamill for the best pen of Rhode Is
land Reds was won by Louis Bush. In
error last week w. McCulloh Brown
was named as the winner of this cup.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1914-10-15

ONLY IS days until election. Only
sixteen days to do earnest work for the
success of the Republican ticket. Each
and every Republican should consider
it his duty to give some personal work
to carry Garrett county by the largest
possible majority. 1t is duty we owe
to our country, as well as to the can
didates on our ticket. They deserve
our most earnest support. The only
reason the Democrats can ask for the
support of a Republican is that Mr.
Smith is the present United States
Senator and Mr.. Lewis is the member
of Congress, that to re-elect them is to
cast vote in favor of the destructive
legislation of the Democratic congress
and is a vote of confidence in the policies
of President Wilson. Mr.. Darlington
Is every whit as capable man, as
honest citizen and worthy of public
confidence as Mr.. Smith. The same
comparison is true of Congressman
Lewis and Senator Zihlman. In every
respect he is the equal of Mr.. Lewis.
Every good point Nj. Lewis has Mr..
Zihlman posse sses. Lewis is Wilson
Democrat, is for free tariff, is for all
the laws passed by Congress as direct
ed by Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. ZihIman is a
Republican through and through. He
deserves and should have the vote and
earnest support, we repeat, of every
Republican of Garrett county. We admit
Mr.. Lewis is a good man, Mr.. Zihlman
is as good. Mr.. Lewis has had ex-
perience in political life. So has Mr..
Zihlman. Mr.. Lewis favored special
laws for the working man in Congress.
Mr.. Zihlman did the same thing in the
Senate at Annapolis, for the past six
years. Garrett county working men
received more direct benefits from
State legislation than they did from
Congressional enactments. Mr.. Lewis
is good fellow, Democrats say; so is
Senator Zihlman-a royal good fellow.
None better anywhere and he is a Re-
publican. What more could you ask?
Vote for Darlington and Zihlman.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1914-10-15

VOTERS this year can get their best
campaign arguments right at home.
Are times better? Are money conditi-
ons easier? Is the cost of living lower?
Are bankers more ready to lend money?
These are questions that can be answer
ed without the assistance of campaign
orators, or campaign textbooks. The
voter has only to ask himself and some
of his friends these questions and
others like them and then decide for
himself whether he is going to vote to
continue the conditions which now sur
round him.
The Philadelphia North American
hits the nail squarly on the head when
it says: Had the present tariff, or laws
similar to it been in existence for the
past few years. this country would now
be in deplorable condition. This fact
should be remembered in the elections
of November. The men who helped to
make this law should be retired from
Congress. A Republican majority
should be chosen, which act in itself
would serve notice upon the world that
the present unfair and unsafe policy
will be tolerated no longer than the
shortest time within which the restora-
ton of the Republican party to power
IN the nation can be accomplished.
