A LESSON IN ECONOMICS.

A LESSON IN ECONOMICS.
 X workman walked into a grog shop and asked the man behind the bar the amount of his months bill. He was told it was $111O. With hands grimy from a hard days toll the man reached into his pockets, drew out a ten dollar bill and a one dollar bill and handed them over the bar.
 Just as he did-so the saloon mans son came in and said, Father, moth CT sent me down to say that her new hat will be done this evening. and she wants you to give me $12 so she can pay for it."
 Without word the saloon man handed the boy the $11 the customer had given him and added another dol lar to 1t, whereupon the workman, pointing his finger at the saloon man, sad: "Is that where my money goes? Twelve dollars for a hat for your wife? Why, only yesterday refused my wife s4 for a new hat, because it was too much. This is the last time am going to buy clothes for some one else's family with my hard-earned money. I am going to climb right up on the top seat of the water wagon and stay there" And he did

WARSHlPS IN COOPERATION
ARMY ON BEL CLAN COAST
Heavy DOmbnrdmcnt ON German Flank
Maintained for Several Days
with Circuit Success,

LONDON, October % t11:2O p. MI
The Secretary of the Admiralty to-
night issued the following statement
of the operations OF the British war
ships In cooperation with the allied
army OH the Belgian coast:
ON October Is requests for naval
assistance were made to the admiralty
by the allied commanders, and II naval
fiotilla came into action mt daybreak
on the lath off the Belgian coast, firing
against the right of the German at
tack. which they were, by their posi-
ton, able to enfilade.
The Germans replied by shells from
their heavy guns, but owing to the
superior range of the British marine
artillery little damage has been done.
~ heavy bombardment on the Ger
man flank has been maintained with
out intermission since the morning of
the 18th, and is being continued to-day
All reports indicate substantial
losses have been inflicted on the
enemy, and that the fire is, well direct
ed and effective against Ills batteries
and heavy guns.
The naval losses SO far have been
small. considering the damage and the
important assistance rendered to the
Belgian left flank.
All reports received by the ad-
miralty show tile courage and deter
mination with which the Belgian army,
animated by the King in person, is de-
Tending the last few miles of Belgian
soil"

Cameras, Not Guns.

1t is good thing that more parents
are acting on the suggestion which E.
c. Avery gave those who listened to
his nature lecture at the Society of
Natural Sciences. Get nature to
make US happy, said Mr.. Avery. "But
we must go to her. Her treasures lie
all about US, as we find if we make a
start and get out into the open. Give
the children cameras, not guns. Teach
them to observe and to know the things
outdoors, but not to collect and destroy.
Do the same thing for yourself and
you will get much more out of life.
The camera is much better instru-
ment of pleasure to put into the hands
of boy than is gun. With a camera
he will preserve those things which
interest him. With a gun he will seek
to destroy them. That's the difference,
broadly stated. One may follow out
this difference in many directions in an
amplification of the argument, if it is
desired, and always in favor of the
camera as against the gun. Once every
live boy thought he had to have a gun.
He began by shooting at mark, and
when he became proficient in that he
began to shoot other things, useful,
harmless and beautiful. There are still
too many boys who have guns, but not
so many, though the number may still
be reduced to advantage.

WOrkmen's Compensation Law Into
Effect NoyemberI

The Workmen's Compensation law
became effective throughout Maryland
Sunday, November l.
This law. passed by the last Legisla-
ture, is something entirely new in this
State. 1t is complicated and far reach
ing, and materially affects the business
of almost every large employer of labor
IN the State and great many of the
smaller ones.
1t is very important for every en-
ployer to find out definitely whether or
not he is included in the obligations of
the act, and if he is, to take prompt
action in accordance with it's provisions.
Otherwise he NAV, in the words of the
act, be convicted of a misdemeanor,
and shall be subject to fine of not less
than $500 nor more than $1,000" A
court may, however remit the fine If
the employer proceeds promptly there
after to observe the law. There is no
escape from it for those who come
within its provision.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1914-11-05

Vastly more than this, 1T was the
judgement of the people upon the
stewardship of their affairs by those
who wasted the country's substance
and throttled its enterprise with tariff
impositions and legislative vagaries that
have brought forth only a harvest of
regret for the people that they ever
saw the enforcement of the Demo-
cratic party. This is not a too ex-
aggerated estimate of the results of
the election even upon the ground of
the returns as they are at this time.
Throughout the nation the returns
show the diminution of Democratic
power to degree that points to the
overthrow of that party at the first
opportunity. The nahon-the business
men, the workingmen, the thoughtful
students of public Iife-have registered
vote against the party in power that
cannot fail to carry its warning. The
country is to be congratulated; the Re-
publican party is to be congratulated.
The socialists and Labor tickets have
suffered also, and the net result is high
ly advantageous to the Republicans.
The returns are pregnant with meaning,
not solely for their numerous showing,
but for the strong tendency they dis
close toward the return of the Re-
publican party in power and the dis
trust to the Democrats.

VICTORY FOR LOCAL OPTION

Garrett county last Tuesday put its
seal on the liquor question and by a
majority of 1905 said, "Saloon and
saloonism shall end in this county on
April 80. 1915" 1t was an emphatic
expression of public sentiment on the
subject of Selling or not selling
spurious and fermented liquors in this
prosperous christian county," 1t was
a notice served on the rumseller, boot
logger and rum agent that the Speicher
Liquor Law must not be trifed with.
The total vote polled was 2921; for
license only sos, against license 24l3 a
majority of 1905, which is a fraction of
5 to /. The only district to go wet was
johnson district, Nos. by four majority.
A little more effort would have made
this district vote dry. District No.
II was the banner district, its vote be-
ing over 7 to l.
The two Oakland districts administer
ed a severe rebuke to the saloons by a
vote of, district No. Z, for sc, against
262; No. IA, for 70, against 378; total
for, Ia, against, $40 or over to |.
The ten saloons of Oakland are located
in the latter district. By this vote the
Oakland districts resents Oakland being
made the dumping ground of the West
Virginia vets.
By the vote taken last Tuesday this
fact is revealed; To secure vote four
years from now for resubmlssion of
the question. will require % per cent
of the vote polled. 1t will require $50
signatures to have the question result
mitted. This leaves deficiency on vote
cast of $40 votes as a shortage of the
required number.
In Oakland church bells were rung to
announce the glad news of victory.
