tective tariff now IS a fraud and
humbug.
There is not a business man III

get out of the way of ar automo-

Pm afraid the beer regulations
wont get out until after the hot
weather's over" Secretary Mellon
told a solicitous inquirer the other
day.
Which makes it look as though
thew wouldn't get out at all.
With two months Of hot weather
vet ahead. congress, even though
moving at normal speed, can pass
the amendment to the enforcement
act necessary to prevent the use o.
beer as medicine. In fact the reve-
nue. commissioner is waiting for it
to do just that.
For the year ending July /, 1921,
Uncle Sam collected, 10 meet the eX-
penses of government, $4,593, 933,.
248.6l,
Which is $43.75 for each man,
woman and child in the country.
Of this sum, 20 percent or 49,
212,-713,489.05 was collected
through income and profits taxes /;
80 per cent or $1,381,219,759.5
through miscellaneous and excise

Not the least of the problems con-
fronting congress in its revision Of
the revenue bill, is the shrinkage
that must be faced this next year
in taxable incomes and profits.

CHATS WITH
YOUR
GAS MAN

Do you remember Phineas
Fogg, Jules Verne's hero?
Well Phineas departed on
his eighty-day trip around
the world but forgot to turn
out the gas jet that was burn
ing in the bathroom. Fortu-
nately, upon his return, he
remembered that he had left
the gas burning and there
was no argument over the
bill.

Forgetfulness Of this sort,
however, is a frequent occur
rence and it seems to be hui
man nature for the customer
to first berate the company,
claiming that the meter is
wrong, and then discover his
mistake.

The state department already has
been hearing from foreign countries

bill.
No less than half dozen coun-

to show how provisions of the bill

HUTTON

Mr.. ]. c. McClane, of New York
City, was a visitor here for a few
hours on Thursday.
On Wednesday evening of last week
a social and ice cream festival was
held in the Hutton public school build
ing for the benefit of that institution.
We understand that the gross receipts
amounted to almost forty dollars.
MIR. William Jefferson, of Hutton,
is spending few days at Boston,
Mass
Mr.. Jerry J. Pendergast spent Sun
day at Terra Alta.
Pendergast's hall was the scene of
much merrment on Saturday evening
last when the young ladies and gentle
of Hutton, with few invited guests
from out of town, appeared at mas
querade ball, attired in some of the
most grotesque and fantastical cos
tunes imaginable. The setting of the
scene was most artistically elaborate,
and created a very favorable impress
sion upon those who witnessed the af-
fair. 1t also served to emphasize the
truly ludicrous garb donned by the
masqueraders. In every nook and cor
ner of the hall were placed Vulnerable
shocks of corn with cleaning jack-o'-
lanterns. The disguise of some were
so clever that their indemnity was COM
pletely concealed until the time for the
unmasking. Delicious refreshments
were then served by the committee in
charge. ST. ELMO.

WILL THE WOMAN VOTER MAKE
GOOD?

A new day has dawned for women
Our object is clean political power.
If women voting merely means
doubling the votes of men our object is
defeated.
We trust not an intelligent voter
will align herself with any party until
she knows and fully comprehends the
measures and principles upon which
she votes.
That is what is wrong with the old
parties today. Men will stand and
fight for the party regardless of the
man or woman who represents said
said party. And so long as they take
such stand in politics we will go
along in the same old rut.
Men in Garrett county have said,
eff politics can ever be purified, the
women will have it to do" And now
is the time, if we expect to make our
votes count, to exercise our strngth
and intellect.
Get equipped with a self-starter;
think independently; use our own
judgment. Some are of the opinion
that women can be lassoed and bran
ded, making her a Democrat or Re-
publican forever. We hope such is not
the case. There can be no division
upon strictly party lines.
We have fought too long for politi-

! cal freedom to content ourselves now
with political slavery.
Before going to the pools to castour
votes, know exactly for whom you are
voting.
You cannot take anyone's word who
is out lauding this or that party, He
represents their party and naturally
will insist on you to vote either Re-
publican or Democratic. 1t will make
no difference who represents us in the
House.
Women will be responsible for it,
so be very careful how you vote. Ask
no one, but make your own investiga.

men who have come in contact with
them professionally, who dare give
nothing but facts. Then if your party

allow them to handle our political af-
fairs?

Homecoming, Md. Nov. / I

Homecoming, Nd, Nov. 1, 1921.
Editor The Republican,
The Democrats are trying to mix
things up so much that would like
to ask question or two which l hope
some will try to answer.
If Waston is such friend of labor,
why did labor not endorse him for
nomination for House of Delegates? q.
If the people did not think he was fit
for the House of Delegates, where
does he get the idea that he is fit to be
Judge?
If Watson is Labor's candidate for
Judge, why is Frank Drum, District
president of the United Mine Work
ers, for Walsh for Judge?
1t looks to me as if small crowd
who have identified themselves with
labor have gotten behind Watson in
order to take some votes away from
Doub to assist the candidacy of Walsh.
No one is being fooled by the Watson
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1921-11-03

backed by the truth. There is
no opposition to Mr.. Doub in the
Republican ranks. Attorneys
who opposed his nomination
very promptly assured him OF
support when the honor came to
him. The Republican members
of the bar are lined up solidly be-
hind him in Allegany county.
They have issued a signed state
ment in which they pledge their
support, paying tribute to his
high character and eminent
qualifications.

ROADS COMMISSION PLANS
TO COMBAT SNOW DRIFTS
Flows Sent to Western Maryland Sec
tons to Keep Highways
Clear of Drifts.


Clear of Drifts.
The State Roads Commission al
ready is preparing for hard winter.
1t has increased its snow-fghting
equipment so per cent and has dis
tributed it in advantageous points
throughout the state.
Harry D. Willard, assistant chief
engineer of the State Roads Commits
sion, completed plans Thursday for a
defense against snow blockades by
distributing the newly-painted plows
over the state, particularly in Western
Maryland, where snow-furries have
already been reported in the noun
tains.
Mr.. Willard is planning to operate
the snow-fghting force along the
manner inaugurated last year. This
system will be much like a fire depart
ment's plan, with each district engin-
eer as district "snow-fghting chief"
Weather bulletins predicting snow
fall will be dispatched quickly to the
engineers in the locality in which the
prediction is made. Quick action al
ways will be taken in the mountain
Gus sections where the passes choke
up easily.
The Commission also will have so
trucks and plows to clean off the
roads. They will be well distribut
ed, principally in accordance with the
general weather conditions of the To-
calities. In addition to this equip
ment, the commission has a number of
road machines which may be drawn
by horses.

JUDICIAL PRESS AGENCY

lnSldlOuS propaganda in be-
half OF the candidacy of William
4. Walsh for Associate Judge on
the Democratic ticket, IS evident
from the matter that is sent out
by press agents from Cumber-
lana under different cate lines,
and there is further evidence
that funds are unlimited for the
financing of the Walsh campaign
If all reports be true. Certain IN
terestS are taking quite a hand
but 1t is aimed to keep their ac-
tlvlty under cover as much as
possible. Hagerstown and Oak
land papers are furnished matter
under Cumberland date lines,
while HagerStOwn date lines are
used in supplying matter for
Cumberland papers, and so on.
The impression is thus created
that there is intense interest in
the Walsh campaign in Oakland
and Hagerstown from articles
that are sent out from and writ
ten in Cumberland under those
date lines.
These articles are written by a
professional press agent, a for
mer newspaper man, who has
been intimately associated with
Mr.. Walsh in the affairs of a
social organization The ar
ticles are founded on the imagi-
alton of the press agent, and
are intended to have the voters
of one county believe that they
represent the conditions in an
other county.
An attack on Mr.. Doub, under
a Hagerstown date line, from
this press agency, which appear
ed in a Cumberland paper, was
one of the meanest that could
have been written about a lead
ing citizen of probity and high
character. 1t is inconceivable
why any of Mr.. Walsh's over
jealous friends should have
thought it necessary to make
such attacks in furtherance of
his ambitions. Il
One of the articles written in
Cumberland under an Oakland
date line, appearing in the Ha-
gerstown Mail tells of the sur
prising development of strength
of Charles G. Watson in Garrett
county. AS a matter of fact the
only people interested in the
Watson candidacy are the Demo.
Gratis, who are encouraging him
in the hope of helping, Walsh by
pulling votes from Mr.! Doub:
No one takes the Watson candi-
dacy seriously. 1t is looked upon
with levity in his home town of
Frostburg where not corporaPs
guard can be found who will say
they will vote for him, and it is
hardly to be expected that there
is any interest at all in Garrett
county. Not one lawyer in the
Circuit is for Watson. That in
dicates his standing among the
men who are brought in contact
with him in a professional way.
The reports of opposition to
Mr.. Doub, which are originating
from this press agency, are not

her friends on Monday evening, the
occasion being her SEVENTEEN birth
day anniversary. The unlimited
guests had told the servants to leave
lights in the back of the house IN
and were stealing in through the kit
chen when Mrs. ~Penhallow, thinking
lights had been left on unintention-
ally went to investigate. She open
ed the door just as the visitors en-
tered and her surprise was complete.
They brought a large birthday cake
with 10 candles among the good
things and membranes they carri-
ed.
