Now, scholars of the advanced class:

some of you have overlooked or did not

Alchohol as a beverage, and the
saloons are the greatest standing men
ace to defraud, debauch and kill our
citizens.
/ In 1907 there were 276, 854 liquor deal
ers in the United States, one to every
303 people. They collected $1,000, 600, -
900 from the people and in return fill
our asylums, poor house, jails and pen

graves every year and recruits lj2, 600

you get busy at once, or back you go to

Oh, you church people, if you expect
to fight the battles of the Lord, you
must face the enemy; your breast plate

When the church people awaken and

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
The Republican Is Praised For las
Stand On The Liquor Question.
Benjamin H. Sincell, Esq,
Editor of The Rep Iblican,

My dear Mr.. Sincell: | have been
wanting for some time to write to you
to express my qualification upon read
ing your excellent editorial upon local
option in Garrett county, published in
The Republican of January 18th, in
which issue you also published, under
the heading, What's the Matter with
Kansas" the splendid statement by the
Governor of that state as to the pro-
hibitory law there and its enforcement.
and the wonderfully beneficial results.
congratulate you upon the stand you
have taken as an editor, in regard to
the saloon question in Garrett county
The saloon men will fight for the privi-
lege of selling liquor. because of the
money there is in it for them. And
they will have the outside aid of the
wholesalers and distllers and the brew
ers, because of the money they will
make if there should be license to sell

business, but is the motive.
But to their everlasting credit be it
said, there are men who will not make
money in bad way. They will not sell
that which will cause injury to their
fellow men, as cocaine or Intoxicating
liquors, and they will not help others to
sell.
am glad that you are one of those
newspaper proprietors land their num-
Der is growing) who will not help the
liquor business by selling advertising
space for liquor advertisements, but,
on the contrary. will fight the traffic
because OF the evil that it does.
In the conflict that is now on. every
man who has home and loves it, who
has the welfare of his community at
heart and who wishes well and not i'll to
his fellow men, should exert himself to
the utmost to drive out the evil which
too long has been a reproach to Oakland
and to Garrett county.

WHY THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE
GROWS.

The average town merchant has con-
WINGED himself that the mission of his
home paper" is no other than to cry
down mail order houses. "Why dom
you knock this mail order business?'' he
shrieks day after day. You know as
well as [ that the foreigners are robbing
our people They are getting our good
money and giving bad merchandise in
spite of the fact we home merchants
offer better goods for less money"
It's a case of seeking the other fellow $
faults and being blind to our own. Why
does the mail order house flourish? On
first thought the stories we read of
their tremendous growth and power
seems almost incredible They as a
rule, do not employ travelling represen-
tatives, they send no brass band up and
down the land extolling their virtues,
they certainly do not give anything for
nothing, yet some of these houses are
better known in the United States than
the name of it's President. Why? Be
cause they advertise. That is the whole
secret.
John Wanamaker recently SAID, '1f |
had only corner peanut stand, / would
advertise the fact in the home pager. "
And that is the principle he is work
ing on today. That doctrine raised him

Railroad Fatalities.

A contemporary has estimated that
since the average length Of a railroad
journey in this country is thirty-four
miles, and a passenger may take p
275, l22 such journeys with only one
chance of being killed, it would take
him, at two trips day 3,795 years to
run the full gamut of risk. That is to
say, if the one fatal accident happened
to him in the present year 1t would
have been necessary for him to start
his railroad travelling, at two trips
day, IN the year 1879 b. c. 1t must
be borne in mind however, that he
might be killed on his first trip.

THEIR REASONS FOR WISHING
High School Students Give Answers
To A Pertinent Question.

The following reasons in answer to the
question why | Want to go to a
University" are given by two of the
graduating class of the Oakland High
School, which follows in the wake of
similar reasons published in these
columns last week:
1--WE all have a mission to fulfill in
this world, and with a good education
we shall be better prepared to do this
work A well trained man can obtain
better positions than the unframed
man. With a college education he
uses system in doing things; and can
see more clearly how and why things
are done. The uneducated man. trying
to do work of today is like man try
ing to work in the dark, he cannot find
tools with which to work.
"a college training develops man,
physically, mentally, socially and moral
ly, and enables him to enjoy life to a
fuller extent. 1t helps him to specialize
in any particular subject that he may
desire. If he chooses teaching as his
profession he can understand the nature
and needs of his pupils better and,
therefore, be better qualified to teach
them. 1t will make him more consider
ate of others.
"The educated man considers his
work a pleasure, rather than a strug
gle. He sees beauty and truth in things,
which, to the uneducated man would be
meaningless.
The man with a Common School
education has the advantage over the
uneducated, the one with High School
education over the Grammar School.
the College over the High School, the
University over the College, therefore,
we should all strive to.get all the ed
ucation we can.
"RHoDA WELCH." "
THE broader view of the Importance
of university training, is knowledge
of simply more than that obtained in
High School or College course. 1t is
as it were, a training which enables
one to encounter the difficulties which
later arises in lie. My main object of
entering a university, is to equip my
self more fully with the educational ad-
vantages of that institution. The uni
versities of today are well equipped
with all the modern conveniences thus
enabling the student to obtain physical
strength as well as mental ability.
''How many times has it been proved
by men of great mental ability that the
man with university education has the
advantage over the man with common
school education, thus the youth should
ever be on the alert in obtaining this
knowledge, which like the sharp steel
blade of the stilletO will cut as it were
a swath in the difficulties Of life. One
should not only think Of the university
as place OF acquiring mental culture,
but, on the other hand, they should take
into consideration the social standing
WHICH one acquires while there, which
oftentimes has bearing on the charac-
ter of the student, thus the student
should ever remember that the youth of
to-day will be the man of tomorrow,
and should seize every opportunity to
make himself fit to fill the position of
the man of tomorrow.

The average home merchant considers
himself too small to advertise. And he

at home will give better returns, but we
are not confident. So we follow the
line OF least resistance by picking up the
mail order catolog, making out long

Matthew 2}:31. IS
The Pastor was prompted to select
his text uy reading an extract from a
recent sermon of Il Canadian minister,
who declared that 1914 would witness
the Second Coming of Christ. The
statement permitted the inference that
the minister holds the view common
10 ncariy all crrcds-that the earth is
to be burned up and the human race
blottcd out and that Christ will come,
to see that none of the Church are
destroyed III such expectations. the
Pastor claimed are wholly unscrip-
tura untrue and misleading.
Then the Pastor explained in full the
various Scriptures commonly supposed
to support such views. The wrong in
terpretatiOnS 50 prevalent he claimed,
belong to the Dark Ages, when public
teachers seemed to lose all apprecia-
ton of liguvative language; and when
ChriSt'S references to Gehenna Fire.
which burned outside the wall of Ie-
rusalem, were understood to refer to
an eternity Of torture for all except
the sanity few. He showed that st.
Peters words the heavens shall be
on fire" and THE earth and the things
therein shall be burned up" refer to
the very period which st. Peter else
where calls Times of Restitution and
blessing mot world buningl to follow
Jesus Second Coming.
Both the Master and His Apostles,
the Pastor asserted, frequently used
the word fire as symholical Of tribul'
ton. Among the many Scripture
quoted to substantiate his aSsertiC
was St Peters eXhoTtation, Think
not strange concerning the fiery tria
which shall try YOU"
The Pastor quoted many Scriptures
to prove that the earth is not to be de
stroyed. that the earth abideth for

last prophecy. he claimed. has not ye'
