PUT THE UNEMPLOYED TO WORK

For some time President Wilson,
governors of States. congressional and
other legislative committees. have been
investigating the question of the I'M
employed. There is a splendid solution
of this problem, but from the President
down, all seem to be overlooking it.
We are spending hundred of millions of
dollars every year on the the navy, the
army, and in foreign possessions. Why
not spend some money on the 2, 225, 900
miles of pub ic highways in the United
States? To do this will not only paw
money to the UNEMPLOYED but will make
the nation stronger and greater.
For congress, legislatures, cities,
counties and townships to appropriate
money and begin the construction of a
fourfold system of public roads-nation-
al highways, State roads, county roads,
and township roads-will be of untold
value to all the people of the United
States and will be splendid permanent
investment.
The Ohio State Journal of February
6, last says: I'VE want more internal
improvement and less of the internal
kind. If we make our nation grand
within. it Will be strong without. 1t
seems hard to get this into the average
congressman brain. His idea is that
man must carry pistol to make him
self safe, rather than make the back
alley fit to live in He is ignorant of
the relations of things. So are many
of his constituents. The legislatures
of all the States should combine to in
sist upon the national government i'm
proving our highway -nationalze
them"
The question of the unemployed is
one that should awaken congress and
legislatures to the fact that suitable ap-
preparations for the Improvement of
the public roads will give immediate
s$ork to the unemployed, bring i'm
mediate reliet to their families and be d
lasting and profitable investment to all
the people.
Every dollar expended in increasing
road building and every dollar employed
to carry expert advice and reliable in
formation on road construction into
various sections of our country, is a
distinct contribution to the welfare and
happiness to the people
The road question is one of national
concern.

THE LOCAL OPTION LAW TO BE
STRICTLY ENFORCED.

Occasionally you hear on the streets
of Oakland the remark, when the
saloons close in Oakland you will be able
to get liquor. Bootleggers will be on
hand and meet the demand" Possibly
they may for short time, but if they
are, they will have to be very sly in
their trade.
Public sentiment in Garrett county is
five to one against the sale of liquor,
and public sentiment will see that the
law is strictly enforced. Thanks to
Senator Speicher we have drastic law
and that law is being carefully looked
over. 1t was enacted for purpose and
that purpose will be carried out to the
letter.
The people of Garrett county mean
that rumselling shall cease, and that
no drunken men shall be seen in this
county.
The sentiment in favor of a rigid en-
forcement of the law is growing all
over the county. No trifing will be
permitted. and the States Attorney can
be relied upon to do his full duty in
prosecuting every man arrested fol-
violating the local option. Back of him
will be loyal Justices of the Peace and
efficient constables ready to do their full
duty In the matter, as will also Sheriff
Scott. Public sentiment controle the
enforcement of any law. We have the
law against the sale of liquor 1t is now
the duty of every loyal citizen of the
county to see that that law is enforced
and if violated that the violater be
punished according to the law.

Luther Brotherhood

At the Lutheran church there has
been organized in recent weeks a
Lutheran Brotherhood composed of the
men Of the church. The brotherhood
meets at regular intervals for the pur-
pose Of furthering the work Of the
church and also for social purposes. Al
the last meeting held on Monday of last
week the membership of some thirty
men were divided into two classes OF
clubs. known as the reds and blues anC
contest was inaugurated, the purpose
being to ascertain which of the two
could secure the greater number of new
members for the brotherhood Sunday
school class. On Sunday morning Capt.
Henry Lauer marshalled his forces and
marched them in body to the church.
His army numbered forty-one. while
the blues brought in much lesser
number-but they are still at work and
hope to make a better showing. The
brotherhood class numbers nearly sixty
now and the interest is growing.

Rev. Bremen C0mpIimented.

The Advocate of Homecoming has the
following:
Before going to Oakland the Champs
had been warned against an unscrupu-
lous referee. He was supposed to be
the dark horse, the sixth member of
the Oakland team. If that referee was
in Oakland Saturday night, he was not
in evidence. The game was run by the
Reverend Mr.. .. A. Bremen, and his
ability as capable official is unques-
toned. He handled the game in a
manner worthy of the highest common
dalton, and his decisions were accept
ed by both teams without argument
One thing about Referee Bremen that
is to be admired, is his method of hand
ling the fans and rooters. He exer-
cises just as much control over them as
he does over the players. Cat call
ing and all evidence of vulgarity were
noticably absent during the progress of
the Oakland game The team was
treated royalty by the Oakland boys
and the trip was made as pleasant as
any the locals have taken this season.

PARTY MITIGATION

Another encouraging note of the
complete unificatlon of the Republican
voters that is going on in the country
comes from Maine, where municipal
elections have recently been held in
seventeen cities, disclosing great Demo-
cratic losses. The chairman of the
Maine Republican State Committee
sees in the results of these elections a
strong drift to the Republican party
from both the Democrat and Progress
i've parties. Chairman Parkhurst takes
a great comfort from the fact that in
1914, when the State election was also
held, the Republicans carried only seven
of these cities, while in the elections
just held they carried eleven of the sew
enteen and reduced the majorities in
cities where they did not win.
The Republican State chairman
points that it is of particular signif.
canoe at the present time that the Re-
publicans have carried Augusta, the
the capital, and Democratic strong
hold for the last six or eight years, by
a good majority; they have also carried
Waterville, also Democratic for a num-
Der of years, and the home of United
States States Senator Johnson, Demo,
crat, by substantial majority, indicat

How about the fair next fall? We
have been looking for some announce
ment on the subject from the fair man
agement. This is the hour to create
enthusiasm, to awaken the farmer,
gardener and manufacturer. The plans
for the spring work are being made.
They should include plans for exhibits
at the fair. Two successful fairs have
have been held. A record has been
made, benefits have been derived and
because of the fair a greater interest
has been created in farm life Garrett
county has been greatly benefited by
the two fairs, more than any man can
conceive. We believe this year is 60
ing to be the best year in the history of
Garrett county farm products, in every
department of the firm. Hence the
fair would be of unusual interest, profit
and success. The management should
cover, in our opinion, every part of the
county in their plans, and interest one
or more persons in each district in the
selection of exhibits and awakening OF
a more general interest.
The people are inquiring about the
fair. Let US hear from the authorities
on the subject.

An Alarm of Fire.

An alarm of fire was sounded yester-
day afternoon, which aroused the town.
A fire was discovered under the comb
of the roof of Hotel Frantz, adjoining
the Naylor building. Soon a large
crowd of people had gathered. The fire
was eXtinguished by the use of severa.
hand fire extinguishers, before the hose
could be attached to a water plug
Some of the roof sheathing was burned
The weather boarding of the Naylol
building was scorched. This is tbs
third time fire has occurred at thC
same place.

IT is interesting, this watching and
waiting for President Wilson's pros
perity. The times are so prosperous
that our Garrett county miners are
working from one to three days week
So prosperous that Government officials
are looking for deficit of Sl33, 900, 600
at the end of the fiscal year, near at
hand. The prosperous business man of
today is the bill collector. He is kept
busy, on the move all the time; as to
collections. that is another matter. He
is going but, the getting, that is post
poned on account of the approaching
prosperity.

A Joke (?) That Nay be Costly.

Is Some person Tuesday night took
Noah Gnegy's horse, tied in Mr..
Thomas Little's yard and rode it very
hard and then took it to the lot of Rev.
John NJ. Davis and tied it, where it
stood until about a. m. the next
morning. A reward will be paid for
any information which will lead to the
arrest of the party who took the horse.
Mr.. Gnegy made search for the horse
and did not find him until after some
one had taken the horse to a stable
nearby and fed and blanketed him.
Such inhuman treatment of a horse
deserves severe punishment.
