STATE COAL DEPOSITS
HARDLY BEEN TOUCHED
DR.. J. ]. Rutledge Tells Engi
neers' Club of Western
Maryland Possibilities

Western Maryland's coal deposits
are hardly touched, Dr. J. ]. Rutledge,
chief Of the State Bureau of Mines,
told members of the Engineers Club
in Baltimore one day last week at
meeting of the organization at which
DR.. Rutledge was the chief speaker.
Three-fourths of the big-vein coal
in that section, he declared, has not
been mined, and coal lands can be
bought at low prices. 1t is time, the
speaker said, that Baltimore business
men discovered Western Maryland, >"
especially the part known as the
Georges Creek Valley
DR.. Rutledge said it is possible to
burn Western Maryland bituminous
coal in dwelling furnaces without
much smoke, if handled property, He
said proper firing methods should be
outlined before general use of soft
coal in homes.
The speaker explained the recently
opened schools for mine inspectors.
The great problem now, he said, is
that Of life-saving. If four lives are
saved annually through the efforts of
the bureau it will amount to more, in
cash value, than the State is paying
for its upkeep, he said.

lican senators was more to maintain
party responsibility than to punish
four progressive third party" sena-
tors. After the fourth of next March
the Republicans will be wholly respon-
sible for legislation. To divide the
responsibility with a few who are
both within and without the party
fold will endanger this responsibility.
The Good Book says: "You cannot
serve both God and Mammon." Like
wise, We cannot serve both the Re-
publicans and the enemies of the Re-
publicans. The only way to be square
with ones self is to abide by the de-
cision of the majority or withdraw
from the party. Refusal to withdraw
leaves only one alternative.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.

In memory of our dear husband and
father, Rev. William J. Barnard, who
departed this life one year ago today,
November 7, 1928.
Dearest husband father, how we miss
you
From this world so dark and cold
But We know you are abiding
Safe within the Gates of Gold.
We will miss that loving handclasp
Which you did so freely give;
And the good advice you gave US:
Look to Jesus now and live.
We can hear you sweetly singing
Safely on the other shore
Singing to your wife and children;
Soon we'll meet to part no more.
You have wrought a faithful mission
And your deeds shall live behind,
But your absence brings much sorrow,
0, such sorrow to the mind
Watch our coming, o, beloved one
We shall meet some sweet day
When the Savior bids our coming
To the realms of endless day
Do we meet to part? No, never
1t will be a glorious dawn,
And we'll join those gone before us
On that Resurrection morn.
HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN.

Episcopal church.

The only other question settled by
the "a Republican senators was that
the four Progressive third party"
senators ''be not named to fill vacan-
cies on Senate committees" This is
on the theory that the Republicans
have a majority in the Senate, and
thus have the right to name the ma
jority members of committees. With
out that majority, of course, such a
resolution amounts to nothing. With
a majority, it is effective and final.
The only other question involved
is this: What constitutes Republi-
can? 1t must be acknowledged that
this is government by parties. 1t
must be government of party res
sponsibility if it is to function. A
Republican is one who subscribes to
a majority membership of that party.
These essential principles are well
known and they were given vitality
and authority in the last national con-
vention and in the election, wherein
a Republican President, Vice-Presi-
dent and a Republican Senate and
House were elected. If those princi-
Piles are to be put into force, the par
ty standing thereon must limit to the
party councils those who subscribe to
them. No matter how much a sem
ator may disagree with some of the
principles adopted, he must work
within the party for the reforms he
thinks necessary; and if defeated by
the majority must either yield to the
majority or refuse to participate in
the party councils. If he persists in
remaining within the party ranks and
in taking part in the party delibera-
lions after a majority has decided
against him, the only thing left is to
refuse the offender admission into the
party councils and deny him party
privileges.
The situation today is far different
from 1912 Today or after the fourth
of next March, the Republicans will
be the responsible party in Congress,
made so by the voters. In 1912 the
voters elected a Democratic majority
in both houses of Congress, and the
responsibility Of legislation was on
the Democrats. The 1912 progress
ives in Congress were not essential to
Republican responsibility after the
fourth of March, 1913.

What Constitutes a Republican?

By EDWARD NELSON DINGLEY
The action of "a out of 81 RepubE-
can senators declaring that Senators
La Toilette, Ladd, Brookhart and
Frazier, all of whom were conspic-
uous in the third party movement
or otherwise hostile to Coolidge, be
not invited to future Republican con-
ferences, and be not named to fill any
vacancies on Senate committees" has
caused comment of various kinds ac-
cording to the political leanings of
the commentators.
The effect of the action has been
exaggerated by thoss who desire to
cause trouble in the party. The 81
Republicans who attended the con-
ference Is more than one-half of the
total Republican membership simply
expressed the opinion that the four
senators who were elected as Repub
hcans but who acted in the last cam
paign as anti Republicans, should no
longer invited to Republican confer
ences or be named to fill vacancies
on committees AS REPUBLICANS.
1t is argued by some that the 81
Republican senators had no right to
pass upon the qualifications of sena-
tors. The "a Republicans did not act;
they simply passed upon their quail
fications as REPUBLICANS permit
ted to take part in REPUBLICAN
conferences. Surely a majority of
the Republican senators have a per-
feet right to say who shall not and
who shall take part in Republican
conferences. In all organizations,
political, religious and social, no per-
son has right to participate in the
deliberations who refuses to sub
scribe to the essential beliefs and
principles of the majority.
This is not passing on the quail
fications of one as senator but upon
the qualifications of one as a RE-
PUBLICAN. The creed of the party
OF majority thereof, was laid down
in the last national platform. One
who refuses to subscribe to the es-
sential principles laid down in that
platform has no right to participate
in the deliberations of the party
when it comes to carrying out pro-
gram for legislation. As well might
a Baptist or a Unitarian insist upor
taking part in the denominations
