THEN AND NOW.

Three years ago the Great War
was shaking the foundations of the
world. Men were saying-some men
-"Where is now thy God?" But it
was not hard then for the most of US
to hold to our faith. The problem
did not seem difficult. The world had
defed the moral universe, had set up
the golden calf of self and greed, had
held high carnival, and, then, suddenly
had rolled within the sweep of the
mills of the gods-the eternal gods of
righteousness and truth and justice.
These mills began to grind. We said
"cause and effect, seedtime and har-
vest, the wind and the whirlwind." We
thought we understood it. 1t was all
going to be justified by world new
born out of the night of unutterable
retribution.
The armistice was signed. Alas,
the world that was caught between the
upper and neither millstones Of the
moral order seems to have been crush
ed too fine to be remade again. Where
is the good will between the nations
which was to mark the golden age
when, chastened by war, mankind
should glory in a common brother
HOOQ WHEN, DIS even we Iilen were
fain to boast, Humanity should be
above all nations?" When to be a
100 per cent American meant self
denial or even death, if need be, to
save a world beyond ourselves ?
Where sits today that dreamed-o
group of statesmen, done with secret
diplomacy, done with the eager hunger
for place and power and control of
the markets of the earth?
Never through the war did the
whole seething turmoil of things look
so without plan or purpose as does
this confused and turbid whirl of op.
posing and contending forces now call
ing itself Europe. No wonder the
faith not founded on the rock is sway
ing to and fro and wondering in the
darkness whether this be Gods world
or the DEVILS.
Civilization after civilization has
gone down in the pit. But faith has
not died. 1t has always emerged with
cleared vision and more radiant hope
So shall it yet again. We, too, we Of
this modern world, may vanish into
the night like the empires of the
past, and leave not a wrack behind O.
all our busy, rushing life. But VIVA

That is the contemplate remnant of

vert the Republic and set up a new

Where are the Trotskys and Lenines ?
Listen to the national secretary, as,
in voice choked with emotion, he ex-
plains how the mighty have fallen.
All the worthwhile leaders of the l.
w. W. are in jail, he confesses. But
the worst blow of all has been the
flight of Big Bill Hayward to Rus
STA.
The detection of that peerless lead
err, according to the secretary, has
taken the heart out of the rank and
file. What the craven flight of the
Kaiser was to the German militarists
the skidoo of big Bill' is to his an
archistic organization. Yet "a little
bird whispers that some of the lost
heart in the work of the l. w. w. may
be due to the relentless infiexibility OF
the law which the leaders monument
tally failed to overthrow.

SLAYERS OF WHEELER SANDERS
DENIED BAIL AT HARRISBURG
Four Men Held In Connection With
Death of Former Garrett C0untian

Four Men Held In Connection With
Death of Former Garrett COuntian
Judge John C. Southern, of the Har
rison County West Va.) Criminal
Court at Clarksburg, has refused to
permit four young men, charged with
the murder of Wheeler Sanders, aged
35 years, former hotel man of Keyser,
and native of Garrett county, to fur
nish bail and they will have to remain
in the county Jail at Clarksburg until
the June term of the court.
The men being held in connection
with the crime, which is given as be-
ing premeditated and cold blooded in
every respect by the Clarksburg pap
ers, are Paul Rousch, who was held
responsible for the death of Sanders
by coroner's jury; Howard Crummit,
James Belts and Arthur Vannort, who
were held by Magistrate R. Edward
Kidd alone with Rousch.
Readers of The Republican will re-
member that Sanders was killed on
the Glen Elk bridge at Clarksburg on
Tuesday morning of last week and an
autopsy revealed the fact that a cec-
ebral hemorrhage, resulting from hav-
ing been struck on the head, caused
his death.

THE STATE NORMAL REVUE
Presented to a Large Audience at the
Friendsville Opera House Friday

Friendsville Opera House Friday
To be thoroughly convinced that the
best in musical comedy does not al.
ways come from the professional stage
was the agreeable surprise given the
people of Friendsville as they wit
messed the Frostburg Normal School
Glee Cubs most beautiful presentation
of ''The State Normal Revue" at the
Friendsville opera house on Friday
evening, May Is.
Given before large audience who
came in spite of the terrific downpour
of rain that lasted throughout the
beginning of the performance, The
Gertrude Morgan's troupe of mando-
lin, ukulele and guitar performers en-
tertained with vivacity and charm
that made them at once thoroughly
popular with the audience. Their
songs were the finest selections from
the musical comedies and light opera
VI COddys 1HGlI oCllCS VI 1Olh anu
fancy dances were rendered with
grace and perfection that would do
credit to much more than the amateur
theatrical performer, and the recep-
ton the audience gave them ably con-
firmed the fact.
A most interesting feature of the
entertainment was that of Misses Da-
tina Thomas and Sarah Wright. Miss
Thomas rendered some excellent solos
in the impersonation of the Italian
violinist Donatello, and later in the
program some very enjoyable solos
and characters" in the role of a boy.
Selections from the opera Gloriana
and some original eccentric dances by
Misses Odgers and Guy Wright gave
added enjoyment to their dances,
} songs and gay costumes. Misses Pa
genhardt, Burns, Winter and Pearce
also deserve special mention for the
excellent solos they rendered.
A variety of costumes that showed
excellent taste, harmonized Beauti-
fully with each act and helped greatly
: to make the performance the success
: it was.
In all, the entertainment was one
that was most thoroughly enjoyed by
; everyone attending, and the general
,, expression was that the State Normal
Revue compares favorably with the
best musical comedy of today.
Not at all the least of credit is due
the Glee Club for the very generous
way in which they have given their
, entertainment to the people of
Friendsville. Willing to bear the
expense of the motor trip from Frost
> burg to Friendsville and return on

, sake of the State Normal School They
= have given US, with the single excep
ton of the expense of dinner, all the
proceeds from the sale of tickets fol

School library fund.

IN FAVOR OF FARMERS
Senator Weller Votes for the FOrdney
Emergency Tariff Bill.

Emergency Tariff Bill.
Senator o. E. Weller voted in favor
of the passage of the Fordney Emer-
gency Tariff Bill in the Senate on May
10th. This measure was designed for
the protection of the farmers of Mary
land and the rest of the country from
the dumping of foreign agricultural
products into the United States at
low prices. 1t is the hope of the sup
porters of the measure that it will re-
lieve to some extent the depressed con-
ditions of agriculture here until a
permanent tariff bill can be enacted
for the further benefit of the farmers.
In addition to other products, the
Fordney Bill provides protection on.
wheat, corn, potatoes, meats, live stock
except for breeding purposes; dairy
products, tobacco and certain fruits.
The antidumping provision of the
emergency bill is not only a protec-
ton to the agricultural interests of
the nation, but is protection for Am
erican labor and manufacturers, as it
takes into consideration the cost of
labor and materials in all manufac.
tured products imported. In so doing,
it will compel foreign manufacturers
to compete on the same terms of local
producers.
