ray of light was let in on the dark
corners of discriminating assessr,rn,
in District No. 8.
Behold other things are coming to
light along that line; many are com
pairing notes and personal experiences
to the detriment of the powers that
be, so in my ignorance of political
intrigue and discrimination against
our people in Garrett county | arise
to ask why is one mans property as

one-fourth as good, at $500, and even
5000? This is one instance. MANY
more are springing to light and the
ones protiting by this injustice are
high in the ranks of politicians.

steadily marching on. If there is one

ed to the bottom, it is that of taxa
ton, and especially when KNOWLEDGE

done toward reducing our debt and
the expenditures of the government.
The farmers have had their troubles
of course, due to a kind of back wash
of war conditions. Yet even they are
better off today than they have been
in several previous periods when a
greater number of them went bank
rupt
When you consider that it took
about a dozen years after the Civil
War to get back to settled conditions,
and that the World War was far more
destructive than the purely American
struggle of the sixties, it would seem
as if our country had done pretty well
this time.
Europe, to be sure, is still torn by
dissensions. But in spite of all the
menaces and brandishing of weapons,
no one seems to want to do much
fighting. By and by it will occur to
those people that they are getting
nowhere with their bluff and buster
and that they would better settle down
and make some kind of a business
agreement and forget the past as
much as they can. In most of those
countries the people are at work, they
are feeding themselves and only their
own mental attitude stands in the
way of recovery. Time has a Won
derfully healing effect, and the next
five years should see an amazing
change for the better.

The Republican,
Dear Mr.. Sincell:-WilI you kindly
give space in your paper for the fol-
lowing article?
There appeared in the Baltimore
News. Oct. 10th, 1923, a report of an
interview between Governor Richie
and a delegation of citizens of Oak
land on October 18th in reference to
the Superintendent of Schools of our
county.
l am reported in this article as
heading the delegation. 1t is at least
implied by this article that l offered
to barter one thousand Republican
votes of our county to the Governor
for his influence in having Mr.. Rath-
bun removed from the position he
now holds.
This implication I brand as being
unwarranted and absolutely in vari-
ance with the facts.

FIVE YEARS OF PEACE

To hear some people talk, you
would think that the world had learn
ed nothing in the five years that have
elapsed since the armisitice was sign
ed in 1918. As they look at it, France
and Germany are still practically at
war, and no one can tell how soon
other nations will be drawn in.
Yet the United States at least has
made good progress in getting back
to a peace basis. Business has been
good, and labor has been employed
most OF the time in the five years,

Dear Mr. Browning
l have been so completely occupied
every day that, until yesterday, | was
not able to read the accounty in the
News and American about what you
telephOned me. Neither of them seem
to me to imply in any way that you
offered to trade Republican votes for
the removal of the school supernten-
dent. Both accounts seem to be quite
clear in saying that if the superinten-
dent was removed, that would mean
Republican votes for the one who re-
moved him. Certainly that is all |
understood you to say, and all that
you did say.
I hardly know what | can do about
the matter particularly as l do not
see anything in either newspaper ac-
counts which could be construed as a
reflection on you.
With kind regards, | am,

sistance in having Mr.. Rathbun re-

sentiment in the county in regard to
Mr.. Rathbun as Superintendent of
Schools was so strong against his ad-
ministration that | believed there
would be many Republicans who would
support any competent Democrat who
would be instrumental in having him
removed. In this / have not changed
my mind
It is alleged that majority of the
present Board of Education for our
county betrayed the confidence impos-
ed in them by those who were instru-
mental in having them appointed,
otherwise, probably, this condition of
affairs would not exist.
1t is also alleged that the Superin-
tendent is eXtravagant in the eXpen-
diture of public funds placed at his
disposal, and that he is responsible
for conditions that have vitality OPP
Grated against the best interests of
two important educational centers of
our county in the loss of Prof. Chas.
Kolb, as principal of the Oakland High
School, and of Prof. H. Zeil, as prin-
cipal of the Kitzmiller High School,
Either of these gentlemen were
qualified to fill the position of Super
intendent of Schools. They left the
teaching force of our county shortly
before the recent appointment of our
Superintendent, against the wishes
and protest of the pupils and patrons
of their respective schools, and it 5

When you wash your childs hair

the hair brittle.

that the cold was not excessive, the

penalty ought to be ninety days in a

And this would seem to be good
place to mention what we under
stand to be a generally accepted fact
that people in this community have
been exceptionally favored with OPP
portunity to buy coal at a price,
which in comparison with all the
conditions is reasonable; that one
reason why this came about was be-
cause the local dealers are
long time buyers from reputable
concerns, not getting their coal in
the speculative market, and III
consequence well looked after,
Furthermore. that they bought
their coal early although there was
likelihood then of its being lower
They took no chances and got the
