would think that this is somebody
clse's town.
But it isn't-it is their town all the

You would think that, if there is
something lacking, the town is to

But it isn't the town that is to
blame-it is the people in the town.
What they ought to do is not to
complain merely but also to correct.
If this town has anything the mat
ter with it;
If it needs some improvement;

If it needs home pride, moro of Il

If it needs to develop its re-
sources, encourage home investment

What this town needs is men who
will get what this town needs.
Whatever this town needs it can get
by presenting a solid front.
Let us decide to do something col
lectively for the town.
Let us decide to do something indi-

You can not very well ask others
what the town is doing for you until

icism is to call attention to hole in

Sizing the situation up as an old

WASHINGTON NOTES
An Absolute Dictatorship

Washington, Feb. 19.-(Spccial cor
respondence)-Buried in an apparent
ly insignificant clause at the end of
the second section of his bill increas-
ing his authority, the president has
proposed that he shall be given prac-
tically unlimited legislative power. The
most important provision Of the meas
ure-in fact, the all important provis-
ion-is SO placed that it would scarce
ly attract the attention of the crdi-
nary reader, yet it proposes to bestow
power as absolute as was ever vested
in Caesar or Napoleon.
The first section of the bill pro-
poses that the president shall have
power to redistribute among the de-
partments, bureaus and commissions,
the functions now vested in those
agencies by law. The second section
opens with the proposal that the pres
ident shall have power to coordinate
or consolidate any of the governmental
agencies or reassign the personnel to
new duties. So far the measure is
relatively unimportant, though it goes
farther, even there, than anyone has
ever heretofore suggested it would
be wise to go.
But the last clause of that section
says:
And to employ by executive order
any additional agency or agencies and
to vest therein the performance of
such functions as he may deem appro-
pirate"
No language could be used to con-
vey greater power than therein de-
fined. If such bestowal of authority
could be constitutional at all, it would
give the president power to make or
ders with all the force of law, TO
create courts to try offenders against
those orders, to appoint judges to pre-
side over those courts, and to punish
offenders as he might direct. The
mere reading of that clause should
condemn it in the minds of all men
who believe in republican form of
government such as ours.
We are face to face with a proposal
for establishment of an absolute die
tatorship. Brought out Of conceal
ment into the lime-light of publicity,
the issue should be fully discussed and
decided with promptness that will be
an unmistakable rebuke to further in
sistence upon securing it

due. Thus we shall, as We should, en-
courage other men to contribute to the
general welfare the wealth of know
ledge and experience they have gath
cred in years of successful private eff
fort. This government cannot be
made success unless it has the guild
ing hands Of men who have made u
success in their own individual affairs.
1t is well that the brand of infamy
shall be imprinted upon the brow OF
the traitors, but we shall accomplish
more by placing .laurels upon the
brows of the faithful.

M Wholesale Condemnation

There has been pretty conclusive ev-
idence that some of the "dollar-a-year
men were guilty of turning war bus
mess to their personal friends for un-
considerable profiteering purposes
This was quite likely to occur; but II
would be unjust to condemn or place
under suspicion the whole list OF dol
lar-a-year" men because one or two Oh

nate selfishness to patriotism There
are In America q great many men
whose ability and enterprise have
been such as to enable them to accu-
mulate independent fortunes by en-
tirely honest methods. At the same
time that they have been accumulat-
ing fortunes for themselves, they have
benefited the country by introducing
new methods, new inventions and more
extensive production at lower costs.
The government needs the aid OF such
mon. 1t needs their ability to grasp

Dangerous Imitation

Thus far we have been able to fl
nance the war and all of its collateral
activities without infiation-that iniq-
uitous concomitant of all our previous
wars except the brief struggle against
Spain. Yet the administration now
proposes a measure, which, if adopted
as it stands, will open the door to IN
fiation such as we have never had even
in the days of the printing-press mon
ey of the colonial period. The War
Finance Corporation which Mr.. Nc
Adoo is SO anxious to have establish
ed and differed by men whom he Will
select will have a capital of half a
billion dollars, but it will be permit
ted to issue its own notes to :: sum oil
eight times that amount, and thsse
notes will possess all the rediscourt
value of the best paper under the Fed
eral Reserve System. This is IN ex-
cess of the per capita circulation o.
the country, which was S39.29 In 1919
the latest figures available; and 1t is
evident that to double the quantity OF
the circulating medium cannot but
have a tremendous effect upon the cost
of living from which every citizen is
already suffering.

Mr.. C. A. Ashby, of Deer Park, has
been appointed Chairman of the Food

NEFF GETS 4-YEARS
Member of Outlaw Band That
Held-up kItZmiller Bank

When the jury trying Paul Neff
Wednesday at Woodstock, Va, gave
him sentence of four years on the
charge of larceny of goods from the
store of E, T. Hackley, at Mount Jack
son, the final chapter was probably
written in this young mans career of
crime.
Neff was member of the now IA
nous Netf gang of outlaws who have
been terror to the good people of
Shenandoah county for some months.
His brother, David Neff, is now on
trial.
Nothing further has been heard of
Mike Neff, who, it is SAID, was the
leader of the gang. He is charged with
number of crimes committed in
Shenandoah county during the past u
months.
Paul and Dave Neff, who we're ar
rested in Ohio some months ago, were
brought to Woodstock and placed in
Jail. They escaped from that institu-
ton and were at large for some time
until rounded up by Sheriff Stoner and
a possee of citizens.
The Neffs are also accused of robbing
the bank at Kitzmiller, having been
identified while in Woodstock jail as the
men who were seen in the Maryland
town on the night OF the bank robbery.

SUBSCRIPTIONS
Garrett County May Double Her
Quota of $16S,OOO

The campaign for subscriptions to the
Third Liberty Loan in Garrett county
goes steadily forward with manifesto
tons of great interest and determine
ton to carry on" and see it through
to satisfactory conclusion. AS stated
in these columns last week, the county
has already greatly exceeded her quota,
and she now seems bent upon doubling
it. But whether this is accomplished
or not. she has made a record of which
the whole State can be proud and even
envious.
On Saturday night last a party COM
posed of Mr.. George Washington Will

Appleton, F. E. Rathbun and E. R.
Jones addressed meeting at Friends

audience and with good effect, sub
scriptions being received to the amount
of S25, 900. This amount has since been
increased to S31, 400. A committee of
which Mrs. A. ]. Mason was chairman,
had the arrangements in charge. and
they deserve special commentator for
several features on the program which
added materially to the enthusiasm of
the meeting.
Sunday afternoon at Red House a
meeting was held at which $4,000 was
subscribed.
1t is most encouraging to see the
small towns and thinly populated dis
tricts come forward with such substan-
tial amounts. This is poof positive that
the rural communities are alive to the
needs and grave responsibilities of the
times, and that they will not withhold
what is due their Government in its
prosecution of the war upon evil and in
justice. Meetings were held at Bittin-
ger and Pleasant Valley on Monday
night, both of which were largely at
tended and yielded excellent results,
Bittinger subscribing 81, $50 and Pleas
ant Valley $1,000. Despite adverse
weather conditions the meeting at Sang
Run on Tuesday night was well attend
ed and resulted in the subscription of
81, 900. At the same time $4,000 was
subscribed at meeting in Hutton.
