HUGHES, The PROIECIIONIST

Hughes's Republicanism responds in
full measure to the fundamental party
principlelof protection. His speeches
while candidate for and while holding
the office of Governor of New York,
his Youngstown address-which was
and which remains as the highest stand
ard OF political augmentation his
speech of acceptance at Carnegie Hall
this year all emphasize the soundness of
his views on this great party doctrine
and the provision with which he looks
to the task of tariff revision which his
administration must take up.
In all these utterances Mr.. Hughes
has made it clear that the Republican
party stands for the principle of
protection. Indeed it is in these words
that he has most frequently introduced
his discussion of the topic. To this
party principle he has always gwen the
most cordial of approval and support.
Through protection he would provide
for "the safeguarding of our economic
independence, for the development of
American industry, for the maintenance
of American standards of living" He
would have the principle applied fairly,
without abuses, in as scientific a man
ner as possible.
Regarding tariff commission he has
no illusions. He knows the limitations
of the Constitution in this direction.
But he believes that Congress should
be aided by the investigation of an ex-
pert body" This is both sensible and
practicable. 1t compliments the basic
idea of the origination of revenue legls-
lation and 1t recognizes the functions
and preserves the freedom of the law
making body.
In short, Hughes as a protectionist
leaves nothing which the most ardent
advocate of the doctrine could desire.

land, Had Leg BROKEN at Fairmont.

injured today when struck by an auto

broken and that he was severely cut
about the head. 1t is thought that he
will recover.
The accident occurred shortly after
noon and the Cleveland boy was on his
way to Russo's store to purchase fruit
which he intended to sell from a stand
at the Fair next week. He stepped
from behind an ice wagon on Cleveland
avenue near the fruit store, just as B.
A. Michael, in large automobile was
passing down the street. The front
wheel of the car struck the child knock
ing him down and running across his
leg. Michael Immediately stopped mis-
car and rushed the boy to the hospital.
Officer Boggess who saw the accident
from the back windows of the CITY
Hall rushed to the aid of the lad anC
Michael arranged forfeit for his ap.
pearance before Mayor Bowen in the
morning.

Memorial on the Death Of Daniel Z
0ffutt, Late President of the
Garrett National Bank,

WHEREAS, In the providence of AL
mighty God, Daniel E. Offutt was call
ed from all earthly duties on the 9th
day of August, 1916; and
WHEREAS, 1t is thought proper and
fitting that this memorial should be
placed upon the records of The Garrett
National Bank; and,
WHEREAS, In the life and example of
Daniel E. Offutt we have the exhibition
of the best qualities of man, and in his
duties as President of this institution he
was always careful, observing and con-
sentative in all his acts and always had
in view the best interests of this nstitu-
ton. AS citizen he was always high
ly respected, for his patience and kind
ness toward those who needed sym
patty, andswas one of the most sociable
among men who sought and enjoyed his
companionship. He was of approved
honesty and intregity,and never desired
to do anyone wrong.
RESOLVED, In his death this insti-
tuition. as well as the community, has
lost one of its best members as an ex-
emplar of good business qualities, and
we think 1t is fitting and proper to file
these resolutions among the archieves
Of this institution.
RESOLVED. further. That copy of
these resolutions be sent by our cashier
to the members of Mr.. Offutt's family
and that they be printed in the county
papers.
These resolutions were adoptedon the
18th day of August, 1916, by the Presi-
dent and Board of Directors of The
Garrett National Bank of Oakland,
Maryland, and in accordance Herewith
they are transmitted to the press for
publication.

SOME 0FsIT is IN THE
MANNER OF THE SAYING

If the Honorable Thomas Marshall of
Indiana were a candidate for the
Presidency instead of the Vice resi-
dency and should get up and say the
things Charles Evans Hughes is saying,
those things would be buncombe.
If the Honorable Boies Penrose of
Pennsylvania were a candidate and
should talk about civil service abuses.
the country would laugh.
If the Honorable Henry F. Ashurst
of Arizona were a candidate and should
discuss vehemently his intentions of
seeing all business get a fair deal, none
would mistake the claptrap for sense.
If Senator Gore of Oklahoma or
Vardamar Of Mississippi were a candi-
date and should boldly announce his un-
alteraDle determination to maintain the
national prestige, the public would be
reminded of the Fourth of July.
Or if 1t were an Aldrich that was try
ing to define what this country needs in
the way of a tariff and explain the
hopelessness of getting it through the
medium of the Democratic party, his
argument would have no more weight
than would that of j. Ham Lewis in
rebuttal.
There are not many men who can
debate these things and hold their
audiences. But when these men do
debate them, others listen. Think
what public office is a public trust"
would have meant in the mouth of a

THE nomination of Myron T. Her
rick as Republican candidate for Sen
ator from Ohio will be followed by his
election, of course. And this assures
to the Republican Senate which is to
come IN next March member who will
be able to contribute a great deal to the
task OF reforming the rural credit law
which the Democrats have Just placed
on the statute books but which they
themselves do not expect to have In
operation until some time next spring.
By that time Republican administra-
ton will be in charge and the work OF
perfecting hasty Democratic legislation
will have begun. Meantime the Demo
cratic press and the Democratic stump
will resound with praise of this i'm
perfect and impracticable legislation.

Family Reunion at Deer Park.

A reunion of the family of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph F. Frantz was held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles A. Ashby
at Deer Park, on Sunday, Aug. 18th.
1916, celebrating the fiftieth wedding
anniversary of Mr. and Mrs Frantz and
the twenty fifth anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. Ashby.

rem and twenty-one grand children all
of whom were present, are as follows:

A family dinner was served at one
O'Clock in the spacious dining room
which was artistlcally decorated in
white and gold wedding bells. The
table, at which about fifty relatives and
guests were seated was laden with all
the good things of the season and had
for its center piece brides bouquet of
yellow roses and large wedding cake
surrounded by lighted gold and silver
candles. Artistic place cards, carrying
out the color scheme of gold and white,
were used.
During the afternoon several delight
full solos and duets were rendered by
Prof. Romine and w. B. Frantz, both
of whom are possessed of unusual vocal
talent, while Miss Ethel Gribble pre-
sided at the piano.
Following the music the entire group
was photographed by photographer

This being the first time the entire
family have been together for more
than twenty years it was a happy &C.

MARITIME or Bryan! Think what "goy-
eminent of the people, for the people.
by the people" would have meant in the
mouth of Rutherford B. Hayes! Think
what they did mean, uttered by Grover
Cleveland and Abraham Lincoln!
1t is not by the appearance of the
written word that one can judge the
true character of seeming platitudes.
And these is not much place for them
anywhere between the extremes of the
sublime and the ridiculous. The man
who takes to them, who rests his ar
gument for political support on them,
is either fioundering hopelessly about
without an issue or else he is creating
very big and true issue indeed.
Some of the Democratic papers are
asking Where is the Hughes of 19O8?"
If hei behind what, with a smaller
man behind them, might be considered
the statements of spell binder, the
East will soon get clearer idea of the
Republican candidate than portions of
it now admit having.
Mr.. Cleveland, Elihu Root. and here
and there another, could have fought
great campaign with the arguments and
promises Mr.. Hughes is using. There
should be some little warning to Demo-
Gratis in the fact that even the papers
most antagonistic to him cannot conceal
that those who hear him come away
with the feelings Cleveland or Root
would haYe inspired.

NEWSPAPERS FACE
VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM
High Price And Shortage of Paper
Threaten Life of Many of Them.

From the Manufacturers Record
The price of paper, which has ad-
vanced from 100 to 200 per cent. OF
more over prices prevailing a year ago,
seriously threatens the life of a large
number of publications throughout the
country and greatly lessons the profit
of others.
Its DOUBTFUL if any other large in
dustry in the United States has had to
face so serious a situation, because
when prices of raw material have ad-
vanced the manufacturers of the finish
ed products have advanced their prices
and thus thrown the burden on the ul-
innate consumer. In the newspaper
business this has not vet been done.
The newspapers, from the largest
dailies to the smallest weeklies, have
been bearing the burden which to
many publications will mean complete
destruction and to others the wiping
out of all profit.
Had the newspapers of the country
been as prompt to defend their own in
terests as they have the interests of
others, they. too, would have under
taken to save themselves by an advance
in subscription prices and in advertis-
ing rates. Under existing conditions
they will be forced to do this sooner or
later, and they cannot postpone it much
longer without serious financial embar-
rassment to many of them. Hundreds
of the smaller weeklies. including the
religious papers, which have had but a
very narrow margin between loss and
profit, will, we fear, suffer most serious
ly, and many of them disastrously, un-
less the public promptly recognizes the
situation and accepts an advance in
subscription and in advertising rates
and thus saves the situation.
The day laborer. the mechanic, the
farmer and nearly all business interests,
manufacturing and mercantile, under
the activity of the times are shoH wing
larger earning than for years. But the
newspapers, as a whole, are meeting q
more preplexing problem in the doubl-
ing, and in some cases the trebIing of
the price of paper, and in the absolute
inability to contract in advance for
supplies, than they have ever had to
face before. The statements which
have recently appeard in the daily
papers on the subject do not at all ex-
aggerate the seriouness of the problem.
