Political Paragraph.

The New York Herald the other day
editorially declared without reservation
that proper economy at Washington
would have removed the excuse for a
war tax levied upon the people of a
nation that is not at war. War is be-
ing made to play the part of charity, -
says the Herald, lin furnishing cover
ing for multitude of sins, and one sin
unforgivable is Democratic extrava-
gance."
A solid party vote will be given SEN
ator Zihlman and Col. Darlington from
Allegany in November from the present
indications. The county vote alone will
serve to elect Zihlman to the House of
representatives, for the party will poll
a solid $500 majority on election day, as
indicated by the registration returns.
Returns from all the other counties in
the Sixth district show heavy Repub-
lican gains, and substantial majorities
in each, indicating that the party is
united again and on November 3 will
give its candidates party vote that will
serve to carry them into Congress by
large majorities and bring this district
back into the place it formerly held as a
rockbed in Maryland of the party that
stands for protection and prosperity.

Frederick County for Zihlman

With the G. O. P. in the lead in reg.
istration in Frederick county the lead.
ers are predicting a majority for Zhl.
man of from 400 to 600. The leaders
figure that Zihlman will not only re.
ceive the bulk of the Republican vote,
but also the support of many unaffiliat.
ed and Democratic voters. Certainly
it is true that many Democrats in the
county have already pledged themselves
to vote and work for Zihlman in the
last hours of the campaign. The can.
didate has won hundreds of friends in
the Frederick section by his arguing
that the present low tariff is wrong anc
that he proposes, if elected, to work tc
better business conditions and thus in
crease the pay of the workingmen.
Likewise he has pointed out to the
farmers the explanation of the low
prices for their products and the relief
that can be obtained through a change
in administration.

Mount Nebo, Garrett County, Md,
October II, 1914.
To the Editor of The Republican.
Please allow me space in your valu-
able paper to air some of our moss back
views. My neighbors and have just
come in from looking after our razor
back hogs on Nebo mountain, and IN
expectedly copy of the Cumberland
Times fell into our tired hands, and
what did we read, low and behold you.
IN that magnificent sheet we read, that
Hon. David ]. Lewis was going to carry
Allegany county with its 2517 Republi-
can majority and even carry Garrett
county with its 1000 majority as shown
by the poll books. Not only that, but
the Hon. D. ]. Lewis is the father of
the parcel post law. Now in all honesty
and sincerity and for the benefit of US
who do not know, did the Hon. D. J.
Lewis draw the bill of the parcel post
fame? Or was a Democrat Congress
man from Ohio, amended by Republi-
can Senator from Oregon, amended by
a committee of the House, of which
Mr.. Lewis was member, which gave
the Postmaster General Hitchcock the
power to make rates and zones. which
was put into effect by a Republican
postmaster general.
II dnaS harm fn 70 10
Hon. D. j. Lewis has lived in the Sixth
District for hundred years as some of
his over anxious friends try to make
it appear that he has done verything
good that has been done in the Sixth
District. We would not, or at least we
do not think we should be blamed if we
give him credit for the bumper crops
that Garrett county produced this year
or the large chestnut and acorn crops
which are helping US to fatten our razor
back hogs, also for the copious showers
we are getting at present, but also we
resemble Rip Van Wrinkle. We have
awakened from that dangerous lethargy,
and we are willing to give Hon. D. j.
Lewis credit for what he has done. We
give HIM credit for aiding and assisting
the parcel post bill for which he claims
so much credit; we also give him credit
for standing for, working for, voting
for and helping to enact laws that have
paralyzed the industries of the United
States, which has thrown countless
thousands of men out of employment.
We give him credit for assisting with
his influence, voice and vote to place a
war tax on the people when the country
is at peace with the world We give
him credit for aiding and abetting all
the other ills which the Democratic
party his brought upon this country.
Then tell me why one single Republican
should vote for Hon. d. J. Lewis?

crises that confronts the missions of
the world and especially those directly
influenced by the present great European
War.

rapidly come to the front as one of the
leading educational institutions of the
Lutheran church in the East.

dent and Treasurer, which showed

The enemies of Local Option find fault
with the bill because it does not provide
for the closing up of the Miller distillery
at Accident. They rub their hands and
sigh because of this oversight. 1t is
sad, awful sad, that this dIstilIery is
not wiped out of existence by the BILL
What pity. How sad these calamity
howlers look as they express their re-
greet of this omission. Now what are
the facts in the case? HAD THAT
IDEA BEEN INCLUDED IN THE
BILL, THE BILL IF ADOPTED BY
THE VOTERS WOULD HAVE BEEN
TAKEN TO THE COURTS AND THE
COURTS WOULD HAVE PRO-
NOUNCED THE BILL UNCONSTI-
TUTIONAL. The closing of the dis
tillery can only be accomplished by a
constitutional amendment. By includ-
ing Milier's distillery it would have
proven a snake to kill the bill. Be-
ware of wolves in sleeps clothing.

Take no risks.
Be prepared to hear all kinds of re-
ports, for the devil is always at work.
He takes no vacation. The past week
some very ridiculous STORIES were
put in circulation.
l. That under local option liquor
could be sold in the county by the pur-
chaser buying five gallons or more at a
time. This is false.
2. That man could go to Miller S
distillery with barrel, leave it there,
have it filled and then whenever dry
drive up to the still house and tap his
own barrel. Rank nonsence. Millers
will have to ship every drop of liquor
they make outside of the county if they
want to sell it. THEY CANNOT EVEN
GIVE 1T AWAY in the county. This
is an indisputable fact.
8 That if Garrett county goes dry,
there will be no fair held in Oakland
next fall. The father of that thought
is a -. What is the use of saying it.
1t is rot" of the filthiest kind.
On the other hand there will be fair
the greatest fair ever held in the
county and some of the magnificent,
glorious exhibits will be saloonless
county seat, an empty Jail and no speci-
men of the work done by saloons
drunken men staggering on the streets.
The rummies might as well predict
that cobble stones will grow on the
apple trees, that when 1t rains little
red devils will fall from the clouds, that
the cows will give blood instead of
milk and water will run up hill, and
water become so scarce that it will
have to be purchased at an exhorbi-
tant price. Do not forget, The fools
are not all dead"

WHY THE WAR TAX.
A Pertitent Question Asked by
Democratic Editor.

William r. Hearst a Democrat, an
able editor and a successful business
man, in his Chicago American asked
the above question, and then enters his
protest against such a tax. Hear him.
"The most peaceful nation in the world
is to be asked to pay war tax of
hundred million dollars. The United
States is not at war, and is not in
reality sufferer of the European war,
or even mainly by the war. The deficit
in the income of the United States
government is due partly to the reduc-
ton of the amount of imports into this
country, but also largely to reduction
of the tax upon imports into this
country.
The reduction in the amount of the
imports the party in power at Washing
ton is not responsible for, but the re-
duction in the amount of the tax on i'm
ports the party in power at Washing
ton is responsible for. Why can not the
Democratic party, which has many
claims upon popular confidence abandon
the visionary and impractical policies
which will, if persisted in forever deny
it popular confidence and support? War
or no war, the Democratic party tariff
are proving failures. A tariff for
insufficient revenue only as well.
'Why can not the Democratic party
abandon its theories. which have PROV
ed false, it's policies which have proven
false? Why can it not cease forever
taxing our producers, forever restrict
ing, restraining, and retarding our pro-
duction? Why can it not embark upon
new enlightened policy of intelligentIy
encouraging our production, of ade-
quately .transporting.ou production, and
of constantly enlarging and retaining
the markets for our production at home
and abroad?"
Remember, the foregoing are words
of Democrat and not of Republican.

Art rlerit Recognized.

Grantsville, had the distinction of being
awarded first prize for amateur photog-
raphy at the Oakland Fair. Mr..
Beachy's work has been attracting
favorable notice for some time, and the
honor was deserved. Among his pictures
on exhibition was an admirable por-
trait of Senator Speicher of Accident,
which was splendid likeness, also a
very charming portrait of Mrs. E. H.
Reppert (nee Beulah Getty of Frost
burg, taken at sixteen, which the artist
has very appropriately named "A Girl

Not To Be Trusted.

The party which has made such a
CONSPICUOUS failure in National affairs
by curtailing the revenues through an
industry destroying tariff, and by in
creasing expenses when economy was
needed, thus causing the imposition of a
war tax of the hundred millions in
times of peace, is not the kind of a
party to trust with the management of
this country. Vote for Darlington and
Zihlman.

WORSHIP STRANGE GODS.

A land where strange native gods
are still worshiped is the Eket dis
rict of southern Rhodesia, "the
land of the Ibibios." In the Kwa
Tho estuary, where the perfect sand
IS Strewn with cleaning shells, come
at low tide Eket and Ibeno maids
who, casting off their robes, kneel on
the edge Of the foam to pray to Tie
sea goddess, Uman Ibeno, to send
them husbands. Men, too, come to
plead, with arms outsretched, her
help in unexpected difficulties or
danger. To all who seek her aid the
GODDESS ordains a sacrifice of white
cocks and hens, varying in number
according to the riches of the petit
toner.
