GARRETT NATIVE HAD MANY
YEARS OF STRENUOUS LIFE
Over 20, Went After Gold; Survived
Shipwreck and Died Aged 80

Under a Grantsville date line yes
ferday's Baltimore News contained
the following article that will be of
more than passing interest to many
of the readers of The Republican in
this and other counties:
Word was recently received of the
death of Silas Livengood at Granite
Fails, Washington, aged 80 years.
He was born in this neighborhood and
was a son of Sem c. Livengood, pio-
ueer coal prospector of Elk Lick, Pa.
KIN his early twenties he went to the
Gar west to lead the life of an Ar
gDnaut in the gold fields of Colorado
and Idaho. He returned from the
west in the latter sixties and opened
4 store. In 1873 he went west again
and finally located in Washington.
After he was over 70 years of age he
started on gold mining expedition
to Kotzebue Sound, Alaska, but the
ship on which he was taking passage
was wrecked on the coast of Vancou-
yer Island and all the passengers and
crew except one life boat load were
lost. He was one of the survivors
who were rescued by Indians after
suffering many hardships. He started
On another mining expedition to Alas
ka and after spending the summer
there in mining development work,
he was shipwrecked a second time on
the voyage back to Seattle and again
narrowly escaped drowning. He is
survived by two daughters by his
first marriage-Mrs. Harriet Lack.
Long Beach, Cal, and Mrs. Florence
Csnton, of Washington, D. C. His
second wife also survives and three
sisters and three brothers-Mrs. Au-

Suppose 80 persons were killed

tomorrow about the same number

smashup. and the day following as
many persons should be killed in still
another crash. Every newspaper in

OKLAHOMA WAS, HOTTEST STATE

weather Is greatly overworked, but
it comes in handy at times. And
August weather has been something
to talk about. With an average

More than that, Oklahoma was the
hottest state in. the union during that
same week. II has been suggested

days have been dog days indeed. and
the thermometer has climbed braz-
only and nnconsiderately upward.
Looking backward. there is some
satisfaction in the feeling that It has

insufferable. In 1918 the mercury
rose to 1oS two days. and stood at
lo7 another. during the first week of

THE TAX ON BACHELORS

We don't think much OF the pro-
posed tax on bachelors. 1t is moth
ing but an attempt to force men into
matrimony. and the man who will not
willingly take upon himself the du-
ties and responsibilities of being the
head Of home probably would not
make the right kind of n husband
and father.
A woman is entitled to he married
because man wants to marry her,
and when children came into the
world they are entitled to receive
Q loving welcome from their parents.
Imagine hrving as a father a man
who married In order to oscap" tax
alton.
No doubt the government needs ad-
ditional sources of revenue, but II
will be T. matter of sound public
policy to let the proposed tax on
bachelors alone.

PUBLICITY

Fear OF publicity Is the greatest
preventative OF wrong doing the
world has ever known. 1t is the
greatest agency for the protection Of
the public that has ever been invent
ed. It is worth more than all the
courts and juries that exist in the
world today.
Many a man has been kept In the
straight and narrow path through
fear that his wronsing. might become
known. ,.4
This is particularly true as to pub
lie affairs. There, should be the full
lest and freest publicity as to all
public offices and those who fill
them.
Whenever you find a public offic-
ial trying to keep anything pertain
ing to public affairs from becoming
known there can be but one Of two
motives
The desire to hide something
crooked or something incompetent.
Just as sure as you are born!
