A PLEA FOR TREES.

Favor.

Communicated.
Aug. 9, 1915.
My dear Editor:
| am sorry To see that the havoc
wrought by the recent storm is being
used as an argument against trees.
The very AGE of thos trees shows how
UNUSUAL is such an occurrence.
And If you will compare the beauty
and peace of our wonderful, wooded
cemetery with any bare and treeless
one Of which you know, you must adj
nit we should be willing to run the
risk
We might as well say we will not
make friends for they may cost US
something, we will not take any loved
ones into our hearts for they may give
us grief or pain. We might strip life
altogether of its beauty, its mystery,
its symbolism and live only for the
practical. But anything worth having
is worth some sacrifice. That row of
trees, southside the cemetery, was the
lloveliest feature of that street.
wish every street in our dear city was
lined with such trees to increase its
charm, and to shield US from the hot
summer sun, just as true friendship
stands between us and the hard things
of life. Let US pay the cost and plant
more trees and open our hearts to their
beauty and their inspiration

The FAIR.

The question has been asked are we
going to have a fair next fall?" The
question is easily answered, why not?"
Because a heavy rain storm prevent
ed the carrying out of the splendid pro-
gram prepared and kept the thousands
of public school children and their
friends at home, is no reason why the
Garrett county fair should be abandoned.
Had the weather permitted, Oakland
would have been crowded with people
on that last day, as never before.
The second day of the fair was a
magnificent success in every sense.
The exhibits in the large hall and on
the fair grounds were splendid and
greatly to the credit of the exhibitors.
The street parade was the finest eyer
seen in Garrett county. The fair was
not failure by any means. The last
day was defeat and financial loss to
the fair management, owing to the I'M
expected rain storm. The weather man
alone is responsible for that day.
Garrett county cannot afford to
abandon the fair. 1t means too much
to the county as az educator and an in
spiratio to the farmers its value is
beyond computation. 1t is a great
object lesson to men, women and
children.
The fair is. and always will be,
great advertisement of Garrett county.
The county fair at Oakland and Mary
land Week at Baltimore are valuable
assets of Garrett county.
Every farmer, every merchant, every
manufacturer of the county is interest
ed in the continuance of the fair and
its greatest success.
For the management who conduct
the fair, it is source of anxiety,
hard work, and risk of financial loss.
They are targets of abuse from the
fault finder and crouch. Unfortunately
there are such people every where. No
one knows the burden carried by the
officers of the association, in planning
for successful fair and making the
fair success. Garrett county ows
debt to those who conducted the three
fairs held the past years.
We must get together and unltedly
plan for greater fair than ever for
1916, emphatically Garrett county
fair, fair covering the whole county.
1t is tor the honor and prosperity of
Garrett county that the fair be continu-
ed, The Republican is in favor of
great fair in 1916.

In the state of New York, without
the vote OF which no President has
been elected since 1876. there is small
comfort for the Democratic party in
the consolidated returns for the cleo
ton Of November 2. According to
computations by Lieut. Gov. Schoeneck
the Republican majority, as reflected
in the vote for President Wilson, there
fore, next year, if there is anything
like united Republican Parry, are nil
particularly when present figures are
considered in connection with those of
1912 Then Wilson and Marshall had
655, 475 votes in New York, Taft and
Sherman 455, 428, and Roosevelt and
johnson 800, 02l. This gave Mr.. Will
son a plurality of 200, 047, but the com
bined Republican and Progressive vote
was lS9 GA in excess Of the Democratic
total. The current in the Empire State,
as elsewhere, is toward Republican re-
coverY of national control.
