Notice to Subscribers.

Beginning November lst 1916, the subscription price
of The Republican will be advanced from 81 % per year
to Sl5O per year. This advance in price is made I'M
willingly by the publisher, but the same time it is
absolutely necessary by of the fact that every
single item going into the making of newspaper includ-
ing inks, paper and fixed charges has advanced that
the present subscription price of $25 per year is much
less than the cost Of production.
News print paper has advanced from s. per hundred
pounds to 500 per hundred pounds, while inks have adj
yanced from cents per pound Is cents per pound
within the past six months. 1t was the hope of the
management that prices would become normal and this
advance in the price Of subscription would not be neces-
,ay but instead indications that all material will
become higher.
Anyone desiring to pay their subscription in advance
prior to November lt may do the present rate for
period onot more than oneyear All subscriptions that
are now paid in advance will be continued the full time
pad for All subscriptions in arrear must be promptly
settled as cannot longer carry delinquents

LOOKOUT FOR The SLUMP

The manufacturing boom that has
been sweeping the United States as the
result of the allies war orders is about
to wane. A big slump is looked for in the
business of making munitions for the
entire powers, and, in fact, has already
set in. Thousands of workmen have
been dismissed .by various firms who
have closed the doors of plants created
or enlarged for the purpose of putting
out arms, ammunition and war materials
for England, France and Russia. Most
of the contracts let early in the war
have been filled. In many cases there
were no renewals.
To-day England has more than ninty
arsenals and 4 600 controlled firms put
ting outsmunitions, and this goes to
show that the relapse will come. The
Democrats are making the most of this
show of prosperity, but the people are
being urged to be not deceived by this
falseness. If the truth of the situation
were known this country is in bad
condition. What of all the CORPORATION
taxes, the income taxes, the special
war taxes, the franchise taxes. that
have been levied to ill the big hole left
in the United States treasury by Dem
ocratic legislation. Four years more of
this madness will wreck our country.
What we need is confidence to 20
ahead. Millions of dollars are now be
ing boarded because the control does
not know which way the cat is going to
jump. You never can tell about a
Democratic cat. A sweeping Republi-
can victory at the polls in November
will give US this confidence to advance
We need prosperity with a foundation
under it, and at that, not one built with
the blood Of the nations of Europe.

statement that the parcels post has
been such blessing that no man or
party would dare to attempt its repeal.
1t then proceeds to charge the Re-
pubhcans with a Sinister state of
mind toward the parcels post. be-
cause they have been exploding Mr..
Lewis claim to having fathered it. In
other words, we entertain a Sinister
state of mind" toward the blessings of
telegraphy because we explode Sam
Smiths fake claim to having fathered
the telegraph. Some reasoning, that,
for the Baltimore Sun or anybody else.
In the next place, the Sun simply
"peryerts the record" wilfully and
with malice propense. 1t says, Mr..
Lewis, more than any other man, de-
serves credit for what was accomplish
ed in the matter of the parcels post.
and this in face of the fact that the
Members of the Post Office Commit
tees IN both Senate and House, Demo
Gratis and Republicans, alike, deny in
the official record that he is entitled to
any such credit. The Sun simply makes
the bald declaration without regard to
the facts, trusting that the people will
never come to know the facts. In fact.
the Sun does lot of that sort of trad
ing on its readers ignorance.
And, finally. the Sun, with cowardly
lnuondo, intimates that. because Mr..
Lewis claims to distinction in this
matter have been disproved, therefore,
DR.. Frances candidacy is INSPIRED by
interests that want to get Mr.. Lewis
out of the way, and which would like to
cut the throat of the parcel post sys-
tenn" The Sun, of course, says it
doesn't know this, and all the other
balder dash by which cowardIy journa-
ism states in inrendo what it dare not
STATE explicitly.
And there is the whole case for Mr..
Lewis, according to the Sun, which is
his party advocate. And pretty case
it is. Summed up, it amounts to just
this: send Mr.. Lewis to the Senate be-
cause he fathered the parcel post, and
is its chief protagonst. The Congress
sional Record confounds and disproves
both these claims. Ergo, Mr.. Lewis is
left with no reason for asking to 90 to
the Senate at all. Cecil Wing.

FRANCES SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE

DR.. Frances speech Of acceptance
has made him hosts of friends and sup
porters amongst the voters Of the
State.
Its statesmanhke grasp Of the great
governmental problems that face US;
its broad humantarianism, Its soundly
progressive spirit have made the people
who have read the speech realize that.
in Joseph Irwin France, they have a
candidate for United States Senior who
is not only deep student of the
principles Of government, but who is
practically and alphabetically alive to
the real problems which We face as an
organized society, if We are going to
intelligently and effectively fulfill our
mission as a great, free enlightened
Republic.
After Analysing the doctrine Of
governmental ownership, and showing
its utter inefficiency, as well as its
burdensome taxation, DR.. France shot
out such pithy and wise epigrams as
the following:
Il am not after more government so
much rs am after better government. 8"
Il am not so anxious to see the
Government do more things as am to
see the Government do things more eff
fectively"
After emphasizing the disastrous
effect of governmental ownership and
other socialistic schemes on individual
opportunity and efficiency, DR.. France
stirred his audience deeply by this sen
tence:
Equality of opportunity is the very
breath of our nostrils on this side Of
the Atlantic.
And SO the speaker went on from one
great subject to another, touching
each IN turn with the sure. strong hand
of master thinker and a red blooded
American, until he came to a great
climax, in the following passage:
He stands for government owner
ship. | stand for governmental con
troll He stands for socialism. stand
for Americanism and Individuahsm
He stands for more government.
stand for better government. He
stands for the narrow appeal which
bringf misunderstanding and division.
stand for broad brotherhood which
knows no class distinction. With me
stand you splendid loyal Republicans.
and with US will stand those, our fellow
Marylanders. of the Democratic party,
to whom fundamental principles are of
more import than party label"

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
One Death and Two Cases Re-
ported by State Health Officer.

DR.. K. H. Riley. State Health officer,
visited Garrett county on Monday and
Tuesday andrep0rtedtwo well developed
cases of infantile paralysis and one
death as result of the disease. All
persons connected with the families
wherein the outbreak has occurred
have been quarantined and every pre-
caution has been taken to prevent a
further spread.
The fatal case reported by the physi-
clan is that of Stanley, aged five years,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John H. Fresh,
residing in the Flatwoods section of the
county, who died Sunday after an illness
of three days and whose funeral took
place the following day, the interment
being private.
The children now suffering as re-
suit of the attacks are Pearl Thelma
Fresh, aged seven years, a sister of
the boy who died on Sunday. and Anvil
Keynold Weimer, aged seven years, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Weimer, who re-
sides at Deep Creek. The latter child
is paralyzed in both arms, while the
son of Mr.. Fresh, when seen by DR..
Riley was in the first stage of the dis
ease and the paralysis had not yet de-
veloped.

repudiated free trade, though they
know it spells ruin for the nation, and
all the rest of the world is scurrying to
protect itself against industrial in
vasions. Mr.. Wilson and his party
have adheared to no principles. They
have made record of pretense rather
than construction. In the Philippines
bill they made no real advance in grant
ing self-government to the Fllipinos,
though they had promised independence
and profess to have accorded large
measure of freedom. In yielding to
the demands of the trainmen's brother
hoods they pretended to pass an eight
hour law, but in reality merely granted
an increase of wages, which is an act
of doubtful legality and to-day all true
friends of labor are deploring the
abandonment of the principle of arbi-
tration, which was the best hope of
the nation in the Just settlement of la
Dor disputes.
Mr.. Hughes. as he meets the people
of the country, is analyzIng the record
the Democrats have made. 1t is not
one that will appeal to voters who have
a sense of fitness and patriotic regard
for the future of their homeland. The
Democratic administration has been a
failure. Only by placing responsibility
in the hands of the Republican party
can we be assured of preparedness,
protection and permanent prosperity.
That is not mere assertion. The proof
of it is in the record.
