Contributor To These Columns Pay,
Tribute to the Citizens of Oakland.
To The Editor of The Republican.
In the closing tide of the Lentent
observance and mellowing season OF
Holy Week, it should impress all tc
observe how high Oakland has lifted
the banner of better things and challeng-
ed a public admiration. What other
town has so fully and so pronouncedly
expressed decent regard and religious
acknowledgment for Good Friday as is
Oakland's purpose in the present week?
Her people credit themselves no less
than they do the great event COM
memorated by pausing even for one
hour, in deferential homage to an
occurrence that revolutionized the
world and forever opened the gate
way to all believers.
1t must mean something, to all who
pass by, in this age of mad rush and in
ordinate greed, to behold all denomina-
tons, creeds and classes, both in re-
ligious walks and in the mart of civil
pursuits, meeting on a common ground
in single exalting purpose for unit
ed expression of faith in the central
truth handed down through the CEN
turtles by the Saints to US. Infrequent,
indeed, do communities combine for
so lofty an object and may the custom
descend to many posterities.
1t is but the revival of trite state
ment, to say that, in the firament of
human history, all stars circle in a
lesser magnitude about the one star
followed by the Wise Men of the East,
and that from then until now, the
wisest men on earth have been those
who have kept closest and most con-
stantly In the shining of that star.
The late Senator John J. Ingalls,, an
orator noted for clear-cut English and
clarion-like ring of eloquence, during
the delivery of an Grafton of rare charm
in the United States Senate said: 1.-THE
most momentous declaration that has
ever fallen on the human ear, is that
of the Master to Mary: 4 am the resur-
rection, and the life, ne that believeth
on me, though he were dead, yet shall
he live: and whosever Iiveth and be.
lieveth on me, shall never die.
Oakland's memorial next Friday will
be in memory of the divine author Of
that declaration. Since the shouting
OF the mob and the vanishing of the
sun IN the terrors of that crucifxion,
nearly two thousand years are as ar
evening gone, but the Light of Life
that went out upon a cross left a re.
Elected glory forever around the world
horizon.

When the printed Acts of the Cen
eral Assembly of 1914 are received
from the hands of the State printer,
some MarYlanders of exact minds.
with veneration for traditional forms
and sticklers for nicely in the legal
use of the English language, will Gu

something like a hundred years the
title pages of the printed laws of
Maryland had recited that these wise
and salutary enactments were made

time being put out volume of the laws
with the title-page recital that these
laws had been made and passed" at a

this was Typographical error or a seri-

OF the title page is something that
casual inquiry has failed to ascertain.

ty Farmers to Raise Potatoes OF
,slass
One Hind In Large Quantities.
In the communication below former
Senator W. Mccullough Brown Of Gar
rett county, directs attention Of our
farmers to the fact that they can raise
with great profit large quantities of
seed potatoes and find a ready market
for their product in other sections Of
Maryland and also IN other States of the
Union, requesting The Republican to
call attention to the fact, which we do
with pleasure, publishing Mr.. Brown
letter in full as follows:
To the Editor of The Republican:
DEAR SIR: A year ago | sent to Oak
land samples OF Maine grown seed po-
tatoes, which were displayed in the
First National Bank windows ard have
attracted more or less attention.
For some years potato growers have
been saying to me that the farmers of
Garrett county had soil and climate
conditions which would almost insure
the profitable raising of seed pototoes
for the Eastern trade.
Our great drawback is that too many
kinds are raised with US, and in con-
sequence large lots are not to be pur-
chased. | now have inquiries from
three parties for Green Mountain -
and Irish Cobbler" for seed. VIII you
not once again bring this subject before
your readers.
Yours truly
