COUNTRYWIDE PUBLIC MASS
MEETING CALLED BY CITIZENS
To Be Held at the Court House Tues
day Morning, February 3rd.

day Morning, February 3rd.
With view of wholly serving most
wisely the best public interests of
Garrett county, for the present and
future, the committee named below
herewith calls countrywide public
mass meeting to be held in the Court
House at Oakland at eleven o'clock on
the morning of Tuesday, February 8,
1920, and in order to give as wide
publicity to the matters to be dis
cussed The Republican reproduces be-
low copy Of the letter mailed a few
days ago to representative citizens
in every section of the county, as fol-
lows:
This letter invites you to attend
this mass meeting as well as to give
publicity thereto as also to invite any
other citizens to attend who may be
interested in the purposes thereof; if
you cannot come, do not neglect to
see that some one from your section
does come, SO that your neighborhood
may be represented, the idea being
that the meeting shall be countrywide
in its representation
There are several countrywide.
public-welfare questions which are be-
ing pressed forward vigorously for i'm
mediate attention. Among these great
demands, are a., higher salaries for
public school teachers; (2), new school
buildings; and (3) public roads. Pub
lie boards and public officials should be
advised, and they desire thus to be
advised, by those whom they serve, as
to what attitude they should assume
towards such public questions as high
er salaries for public school teachers,
new school buildings and public roads,
and it is the purpose of this meet
ing to give expression to the public's
view in connection with these. very
large demands.
"Among the subjects to be dis
cussed to be thought over before the
meeting, are the following:
"1-Should necessary funds for
higher salaries for public school
teachers, new school buildings and
public roads be raised from direct
county levy, with the result that
the county tax rate be exceedingly
higher than now prevails?
Or should necessary funds
for new public school buildings
and public roads be secured from
the sale Of county bonds? If so,
what type Of bond bill law should
be proposed to the present Cen
eral Assembly? And should such
a proposed bond bill law include
provisions for raising funds for
both new school buildings and
public roads? i
"3-Or, finally, should the
county decide upon firm policy
of retrenchment, not advocating
nor authorizing at this time any
form of improved public utilities
such as new school buildings and
public roads, it being generally
conceded that more money must
be raised for higher salaries of
public school teachers if our pub
lie schools are to continue at all?"

Fight to Help Foes of
League.
PubIic Ledger SeryIce.)

Senator William Z. BOrah, OF
Idaho announced today that he
would be unable TO make any more
speeches in behalf of the Repub-
lican ticket, but intended to devote
his energies to an active tour in
support of Senators, both Repub
lican and Democratic. who are op-
posed to the league of nations.
The position of Senator Borah
now becomes analogous to that of
William Jennings Bryan. who has
announced that his efforts will be
devoted to a nonpartisan effort to
elect a dry Congress.
The Idaho Senator intends to
speak in Connecticut and New
Hampshire and probably will visit
Tennessee to line up sentiment for
Senator John X. Shields, a Demo-
cratic opponent of the league.
General sentiment in the Capital
today was that the action of Sena-
tor Borah was primarily an effort to
force Senator Harding to take up
publicly a position suitable to the
enemies of the league of nations.
Calls were received by Senator
Borah today from both the New
York and Chicago headquarters of
the Republican National Committee
and efforts were made to arrange
speaking dates for the Idaho Sena-
tor Senator BOrah is going to enter

tor Frank Brandegee and then visit

target" roOmer named Jesse
Moten, got the surprise of his life
Thursday night when bullet from
her revolver actually hit him in
the hip. Heretofore, it was shown,
the widows aim was as poor as she
was and the human target had in
terposed no great objections to her
shooting at him
Judge Aukam, after thinking
over what to do with Lilly for a
whole day, decided to separate her
from her favorite pastime, and sent
her to Jail for a month.
OF course the widow was not
having all the fun. Moten did not
stand idly by and he shot at with
out doing something. His favorite
method of retaliation. according to
the testimony, was Shaping" his
landlady with his fist.
On the occasion mentioned he
slapped a little too hard, she said,
and angered her. Seeing his mis-
take. he made for the back fence
with a bullet plowing the dirt un-
der his feet. The second shot went
through the fence as Motcn was
scaling it. The third got him as
he was halfway over and brought
him back. Now he walks with a
cane.
The widow insisted she was tired
of being used as a bass drum. "
As for Moten, he said he was tired
of being a target.
