This is the old legend of how the
rose came by its thorns:' one day in
paradise Cupid was flying over a gar
den of roses. Blossoming there was 4
beautiful pink rose. Cupid bent to kiss
it when a bee hidden in the flower
stung him on the lip, Crying with
pain. Cupid fled to Venus, his mother,
demanding vengeance. Venus, to paci-
fy him, gave him a bow strung with
captive bees and set the stem of the
rose with stings torn from the poor
bees. These stings now are called
.horns.

/ In connection with the detection of
the so-called German vote, it is note
worthy that reference to census. figures
discoses that this vote is strongest in
the states which are normally::safely
republican and that democrats are
themselves magnifying the extent of
their loss. Moreover, the fact being
made clear that President Wilson:has
the opposition of men of foreign birth
and descent because he has had the
temerity to assert the rights of the
United States against their fatherland,
there will be attracted to his support
not men who are anti.German in their
sympathies, but men who believe that
a president who' is assailed for dis
charging his duty toward America
should be sustained and the fact settled
once and for all that no clan, whatever

fered to order this government in the

ROOSEVELT FOR HUGHES.

No surprise will be occasioned by the
news from Oyster Bay that Col. Roose-
welt will publicly indorse Charles Evans
Hughes, Republican nominee for Presi-
dent, Immediately after the Progressive
national committee meeting next Mon
day, says the Pittsburgh Gazette Times,
editorlally, in its issue of Tuesday. Col.
Rooseyelt's course and that of his chief
associates in the Progressive organlza-
ton have been consistent with the
pledges made in statement of that
party's executive committee last Jan
uary 9, so it is to be expected they will
not depart therefrom at this time.
Faith in the fidelity of their four. year
leader to his principles and promises
has led vast numbers of Progresslves
to return to the Republican party and
enter heartily into the campaign for
the election OF Mr.. Hughes in advance
of decisive action by.Roosevet. These
men simply appreciate the situation as
it exists. They know Col. Roosevelt
shares the Republican party trust in the
integrity. Americanism and patriotism
of Mr.. Hughes, and in common with all
who read, realize the Republican plat
form stands four-square with that Of
the Progressives on all vital subjects.
What else, then, can they do than join
in the effort to rid the country of Dem
ocratic control by the election of
Hughes and Fairbanks.
1t is to be expected that Col. Roose-
welt will not content himself with a
mere Endorsement of the Republican
ticket, but will, if his health permits.
take an active part as a speaker in the
campaign for Republican success. The
newest enterprise of President Wilson
makes more than ever imperative the
defeat of Wilson and Marshall, His
sudden and astonishing warlike move
toward Mexico will impress anew the
Importance of having in the White
House in the time of crisis President
who can be swayed by no impulses not
proceeding from the profoundest pstrio-
tism and consistent common sense.
Col. Roosevelt can be in no doubt as to
where his duty lies.

MEMBER Of PIONEER
FAMILY VISITS OAKLAND
Interesting Bits Of Early Garrett
County History.

Mrs. Mary Townshend and daughter,
Miss Lena, left for their home in Balti-
more county one day last week, after a
visit in Oakland with her niece, Mrs.
A. D. Mayor and family.
Mrs. Townshend was born and raised
in this county, her father coming here
in the year 1898 from Prince Georges
county, settling on what is now known
as the Meshack Mattingly farm at
Hoyes. where Mrs. Townshend was born
in 1884. Her father, Singleton Town
shend, Sr., died there in 1886, and was
buried in the Drane family private bury
ing ground at Accident, 50 years ago. She
lived on the old place until the year lS47,
when she moved with her mother to the
Armstrong farm, now the home of Mr..
John T. Mitchell, near Oakland, and from
there they moved to town in 1851.
She married a cousin, Mr.. John Town
shend, of Prince Georges county, in
1851, the year the railroad was com
pleted as far as Oakland. and took
wedding trip east. going on the first
passenger train running through here
Mrs. Townshend was a sister of the
late S. l.. Townshend, of Oakland, and
is the only surviving member of the
family, and is now 81 years of age. She
had not visited Oakland for many years,
and recently decided that she would like
to make trip to her native county.
| She was much surprised to see the many
| improvements which nave taken place
on the farms and the good roads as they
now are. She visited many of the scenes
of her childhood, going by automobile,
and locked up many of her girlhood
friends and acquaintance. During
visit to the Mattingly farm, where she
was born, she was able to recall many
/ of the old landmarks and located the
old log home that stood just in front of
/ the present house, and also noted where
stood the cabins that were occupied by
the slaves that belonged to the original
Townshend family and which stood
nearby. The old spring and its ever re-
/ freshing waters brought back many
vivid recollections of the past. She stood
on the foundation of the old chimney
and had her picture taken, surrounded
by the old trees and hills of her girl
hood days.
Quite number of her old associates
are still living, among them being Mrs.
Mary Browning Dewitt, her girl
hood chum, widow of the late Arch
Dewitt, who lives at Hoyes on
the old Dewitt farm with her son.
j. Arthur Dewitt, and another of
whom is Fish Commissioner R. T.
Browning, Mrs. DeWitt's brother. who
was a schoolmate at the old Sang Run
school. These people had not seen each
other for about 70 years, and during
Mrs. Townshend's visit here, Mrs. De-
Witt motored to Oakland ana spent a
day living and talking over the olden
DAYS and the conversation was interest
ing, not only to these old friends, but
to the younger people who were pres
ent.
Mrs. Townshend is one of the few
people still living who was we'll acquaint-
ed with many of the early settlers of
this section of the county and was
