PIKE COUNTY NEWS

ginia June 1st of this year.
Counsel for the petitioners seemed
to think that Judge Stallard was com
PEELED to grant the desired license,
but the Judge is not strongly inclined
to concur with this idea, and has pass
ed the case for the present as being a
very dubious matter.
A fair idea of the value of such a
license may be had from the fact that
man named Coffman offered $4,000
for a license to sell intoxicants in the
town of Pocahontas, w. Va, for one
year.
The dry law in West Virginia will
close more than $50 saloons along the
state line from Ironton to Pocahontas;
and in the event Buskirk gets the IL
cense, his will be the only saloons be-
tween these two points.

State Normal School Graduates Re-
celye Increased Salery.

The 1914 graduates of the State
Normal Schools of Maryland will enter
their professional careers under better
conditions in every respect, but
particularly so with regard to salaries,
than any teachers previously graduated
in this State. This is so by reason of
an act of the Maryland Legislature,
passed at its last session, that will be-
law August l, 1914.
This act relates to minimum salaries
for teachers and provides that no
Normal graduate shall receive as
salary less than four hundred dollars
$4,000 per annum; and after having
taught for period of three years in
any of the public schools of the State
of Maryland shall receive as salary not
less than four hundred and fifty dollars
(S450) per annum; if such teacher has
taught as above for period of five
years, he or she shall receive as salary
not less than five hundreds dollars
(S500) per annum; il such teacher has
taught as above for a period of eight
years, he or she shall receive as salary
not less than five hundred and fifty dol
lars $3.50 per annum.
This raise in the salaries of teachers
and the creation of a minimum salary
will undoubtedly make the teaching
profession more popular than ever.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Gen. Hing Congratulates Sons OF
Veterans.

To the Editor of The Republican:
| am greatly pleased to read in your
valuable paper of the successful Or
ganization of Camp of Sons of Veter-
ans in Oakland. Having been Indirect
ly party to the project, in calling
Division Commander Keefauver's at
tention to the desire of the patriotic
young men of your community to form
a camp, it is with pardonable pride,
therefore, that | note the successful
outcome.
Commander Keefauver is an able and
energetic officer and stands high in the
National Organization, as had occasion
to notice at Chattanooga last fall dur
ing the National Encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic. The
Sons of Veterans were much in evil
dence at that Encampment. For the
first time in the history of the Grand
Army the Sons of Veterans were &C
corded the proud distinction of being
Tic OlllCldl GSCOIl VI luC
Chief, thus having the right of the line
in the great parade and | trust the
young men will be accorded the same
honor at Detroit at the next encamp-
ment.
l cannot too strongly urge the young
men, Sons of Union Veterans, to enroll
themselves in this auxiliary to organize
so that in the years to come they may
on all proper occasions represent their
fathers. The day is not far distant
when the sunset gun will be fired and
the flag lowered for the last srrvIvor
Of that great epoch and it behooves
their sons and grandsons to form a
strong, compact organization and be
proud everyone of them to say MY
Father was a Soldier"

FIRST SHOT Of LOCAL
OPTION CAMPAIGN
Fired at Auditorium. Mountain Lake
Park, Friday Night.

Friday night last there was held one
Of the most enthusiastic temperance
meetings in the history of Garrett
county, in the auditorium at Mountain
Lake Park. There were from 1850 to
400 people assembled, from all parts
of Garrett county.
The large platform was filled with
representative citizens and clergymen
of the several religious denominations.
Such men as Revs. Or. W. D. Reed
DR.. J. C. Ely, DR.. Archibald Moore,
Isaac Alternately, j. l.. Marques,
Mr.. Heinrich, E. P. Idleman, J. NJ.
Davis, DR.. Hare and Senator Speicher.
Mr.. Albert T. White of Mountain
Lake Park. presided The Oakland
orchestra and a large choir furnished
delightful music throughout the eve
ming.
The opening prayer was made by the
Rev. John NJ. Davis of Oakland. The
prayer elected many hearty amens from
the audience. The clergymen earnestly
prayed that the day of rumselling and
rum making might speedily come to an
end; that the campaign to be instituted
tonight might result in an overwhelming
victory and that this great Nation of
ours should become free from the in
fiuence of rum.
The committee on resolutions pre-
sented the following report:
We rejoice at the rapid progress be-
ing made in the prohibition of the beve-
rage liquor traffic The day of eternal
prohibition will soon come to West
Virginia. as July lst will see the going
of the saloons from The Little Mount
ain State" never to return; Garrett
County, Maryland, will vote on the
question November 3rd. and when that
goes DRY" the Oakland district will
be freed from the bondage of this
monstrous iniquity forever. State wide
prohibition is apparently In sight for
Maryland and the battle lines for
National Prohibition by means of the
submission and ratification of the Hob
son shepherd joint resolutions are be-
ing drawn.
In view of the victories won and con-
fiicts pending. be it therefore
Resolved. That the Oakland District
Epworth League renews it's vow OF
eternal hostility to the liquor traffic, and
while rejoicing over victories won,
pledges anew to remain in the army as
soldiers of righteousness until the Ma
ton is dry.
Be it also resolved, That we urge the
most Jealous cooperation upon the par
of our people in the campaign for pro
hibition for Garrett county. And be i
farther resolved that we pledge our un
wavering support to the fight for Ma
tional Prohibition and recommend that
petition be sent to both houses of Con
gress requesting the submission Of tn

the successful pushing through,the leg

Committee.
The presiding officer asked the men,
bers Of the League who favored the
resolutlans TO stand up. They were
unanimously adopted. He then called
for rising vote of the audience, which
was quickly responded TO, by practically
the entire audience, with applause.
The president introduced Hon. Har-
yey j. Speicher. the Senator who.gave
| Garrett county the remarkable Local
Option bill which brought these en-
thuslashc Garrett countians together.
As Senator Speicher arose from his seat
these hundreds of fellow citizens arose
to their feet. some clapping hands and
| Others giving the Chautauqua salute.
Some one in the audience cried out,
What is the matter with Hon. Harvey
Speicher?" From the platform, from
all parts of the audience came the quick
response, There is nothing the matter
with Harvey j. Speicher He is all
right" 1t was magnificent endorse
ment of the Senator's great work in
securing the passage of the Local Option
bill and for his manly stand for temper
ance and sobrlety.
The Senator in well chosen words in
troduced the Rev. DR.. T. NJ Hare, the
live wire superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of Maryland and Della
ware. He told of the Doctors great
work in the West Virginia prohibition
campaign which resulted in that State
going into the Dry column. He said,
There has never before been a time
when the temperance cause was so
earnestly and successfully championed
as today" He referred to the magnifi-
cient temperance victory in Charles

out of the wet and placed it in the dry
column. He said Garrett county will
not be satisfied until the last drop of
liquor is banished from our midst, then

Editor rulletin;
viii you kindly allow me little
space? Thank you.
I 1t appears TO he difficult for some
people to understand how one can
do anything through DISTINGUISHED
motives.
The State Association For the
Prevention OF tuberculosis. which
has exclusive charge Of the Red
Cross Christmas Seals in Illinois,
does not pay anyone anything for
selling or distributing seals. Neither
does the National Red Cross society.
, The general officers Of the
State Association receive no sala-
ries; no remuneration of any kind
IN the other hand, as in all other
charitable organizations, it costs
money and time to hold office.
2 The office force: stenog-
raphers, typewriters, bookkeeptrs,
etc, who handle and account FOR
millions CT seals, ere paid for their
time Certainly. They couldn't
work for nothing.
4 No ore IN Cairo, or any otler
place. is paid, ever has been paid.
or ever will be paid one penny or
any other amount, for selling or
distributing the Christmas seals.
That statement includes myself
5 shall appreciate your pub
fishing this. Not for personal rea
sons, but because somebody has
started something" that is !njuring
the sale of seals and hampering the
good work the State Association is
trying to do.
