have given the food question some
thought, this catch phrase carries more
than nod;cum Of truth.
Take peas, for example. Ii we
could step into our kitchen-garden,
gather them from the vines and cook
them at once, nothing could be fresh
err; although this, of course, would
be possible only during one season OF
the year. But here is what really
happens, since so few of us can have
a kitchen garden. First the farmer
handles them, while picking, loading
and conveying them to a place where
they are packed in carload lots. Then
they are shipped to the city, probably
mourning numerous delays en- route.
The jobber next handles them, and
from him they go to the green-grQcer,
in whose store they may lie for some
time before we happen along and
purchase them. By now, there is
little left of their pristine freshness.
AS a matter of fact, a great part of
the peas which are served to US in
the winter as fresh peas really come
from the Western part of Mexico,
along the gulf of lower California.
So it is easy to see that these foods,
when served Oh the American table,
are not fresh.
Canned peas are really fresher than
fresh peas. For, in the case of canned

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS

This is to give notice to the tax
payers of Garrett County that the an
nual levy for 1926 has been made and
published, and to call their attention
to the following abstract of Section
As, Chapter Sc, Acts of 1890, relating
to the discount to be allowed and in
terest to be charged on all tax bills:
"All county taxes shall be due and
payable on the first day of September
next succeeding the date of the levy
thereof, and on all county taxes paid
on or before the first day of Septem-
Der discount of per cent will be al
lowed, and after the first day of Jan
uary all county taxes shall bear inter
est at the rate of six per cent per an
mum until paid. The Treasurer shall
take the discount from and charge the
interest on the tax bill for the county
purposes regularly in the manner
aforesaid, and shall note the same
upon the books and upon the receipts
given on the taxes paid. But the dis

Fresher Than The Fresh

all, at time .r:'t1 the peas contain
the greatest foc,I value. They are
Immediately conveyed to the winery,
where they are t"reshed out by machin-
cry. After being washed, they are
graded. They then go into the cans,
where they are sufficiently cooked
to preserve then. All this is accom-
plished within twelve hours; so that
the canned peas, when they come to
the table, are within twelve hours of
being absolutely fresh, while the So
called fresh peas undergo many days
of deterioration and decay before
reaching the consumer.
Here, then is one advertising slogan
which tells TIE absolute truth. Canned
foods arc fresEer than the fresh. For
there has been nothing whatever to
detract from the freshness which was
theirs when they went into the can.
On the contrary, no deterioration is
possible while in the can, because of
the complete exclusion of all air, and
because OF the perfect sterilization
which has taken place.

1t is no wonedr that the old-fash-
Toned German Democrats shake their
heads and exclaim, as there no end
to it," The wet shoestring, beginning
at New York and ending at Virginia
and ext, 1ding inland less than two
hundred miles, has led many Mary
land people into error. The issue in
this state this year, is not, "Is he wet
or is he dry."-but will the soring
costs of government and the multi
plication of jobs be stopped?" Will
government be restored to the
couties? Will the affairs of Allie
gany County, for example, be restored
to the County Commissioners The
annual expenditures for this county
are, S1,500,000 and local authorities
have control of less than 10 per cent
of it, and the remainder is disbursed
by mandate from Annapolis, and the
people, democrats and republicans, do
not like it.
The Governor is honestly wet by
precept and example, and his frank
ness about it is commendable but his
plea for state rights and "back to the
Constitution" is a hollow mockery,
when he, holding an office next in i'm
portance to that of president, re-
fuses to lend gram of influence to
uphold that great paper. Nobody
can criticize him for saying the 18th
Amendment should not have been,
and the Volstead Act should not have
been, but straight thinking men, wet
or dry, expect him to say that law is
law, and should be enforced They
expect him to remember that he
solemnly promised to support the
Constitution of the United States"
He knew when he last took the oath
of office, that the 18th Amendment
was a part of the Constitution and if
he had qualms about enforcing that
Amendment, he should have said 50
then and there. This is not the view
of the reformers and "uplifters," but
of that part of the citizenry of this
state, which stands for decency, right
living and against all forms of law
lessness.
The Republicans have better
chance to elect a governor this year
than they had in 1895 and 1911, so
far as the sins of omission and COM
mission of the Democratic party is
concerned, but they, like the Demo-
Gratis, have men within their ranks,
who would cruelty the party for
their own aggrandizement. They
cannot win by flirting with the vets,
drys and reformers, nor by coddling
the anti-amendment forces and boot
leggers, nor by straddling. Their
candidate must be daring, clean,
out-spoken, superior man, who will
declare that the lawlessness, which
has debauched the state, the multi
plication of job-holders, and mount
ing costs of government, must cease.
There are many such men within the
Republican party, but whether the
self-seeking, place-holding men in
control of the party, will choose, or
even desire such man, is question:
able. l doubt it.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1926-04-29

In 1895, the Democratic party was
hopelessly divided and Mr. Lowndes
being a man of clean life and high
ideals, won, notwithstanding the nor
NAL registered Democratic majority in
Maryland was greater than it is now.
His administration was entirely free
from scandal and eminently success
full. He was defeated in 1899 and the
Democrats had three successive adj
ministrations. Flushed with power,
they committed many excuses and
dissatisfaction was rife which culmin-
ated in revolt at the polls in 1911
and Phillips Lee Goldsborough was
elected.
His administration was able and
dignifed, but the strife among the
Democrats subsidized and he was sue
ceeded by Democrat in 1916 and the
State has since been in the hands of
the Democrats, who are now confront
ed by situation very like that of the
Lowndes campaign in 1895.
The distribution of patronage is
rarely a source of strength to the
dominant party. Three Democratic
administrations have multiplied the
number of disappointed place-seekers
and mutterings of dissatisfaction are
heard in every county.
The determination of Governor
Richie to stand for a third term is
not relished by many Democrats who
desire him to become a candidate for
the United States Senate. They
point to Grants third term fight for
President, which came near turning
the country over to the Democrats,
and nobody will ever know whether
Mr.. Hayes was elected or not. 1t is
charged that the Governor is leopard
izing the interests of his party to
crafty his own ambitions, and this
view is held by many of the most in
fluential Democrats in the State; but
this is among the least of the weak
spots Of his armor.
The multiplication of boards and of
commissions and the consequent in
crease in State employees, followed by
pyramiding expenses, are among the
many real sources of his weakness.
Some Figures.
These are some of the figures repre-
senting salaries paid annually to the
employees of the various departments:
Public Service Commission heads,
$4,000.
Motor Vehicle Commission, 900.
State Insurance Commissioner,
$4,000.
Auditing, $1,000
Advisory Board Parole, $4,000.
Purchasing Bureau, $4,000.
Picture Censors, $1,000.
Accident Commission, $4,000.
Prison Control, $4,000.
In addition there are more than
forty other like organizations, with
clerks, stenographers, "shofers," bos-
ses, janitors and expanding expense
accounts. The job making organiza-
ton has had a most luxurious growth
and the situation is one for grave con-
Germ.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
OHIO HIGHWAYS

The past year holds the record
over any previous year for fed
eral aid on highways. 11,329
miles were completed. The pre-
vious high year mark was a lit
tie less than 10000 miles. The
mileage that has been completed
since 1917 totals 46,486 miles.
The figures given for the year
just passed account only for
those portions which are en-
tirely completed. There are
stretches yet to be finished that
have a total length of 12,463
miles. The work just ended
represents an approximate cost
of two hundred and forty three
million dollars, of which one
hundred and eleven million dol
lars were paid by the United
States government. Since 1917
the Government has furnished
three hundred and seventy three
million dollars as its portion of
the road work.

TRUST MAKING

American industry is passing
through another period of trust
making comparable to the earlier
one of from fifteen to thirty
years ago, says the bulletin of
the department of social action,
National Catholic Welfare Coun-
Gil.
The difference now is that the
newly formed trusts are called
mergers and holding companies.
When the trust is a compound
of various individual concerns,
it is called a trade association,
some of which, however, have
not yet entered the price-fixing
stage.

DAVIS RESIGNS

Federal administration of the
railroads is a thing Of the past.
James C. Davis, director gen
eral of railroads rendered his
resignation to President Cool
idge, announcing he had COM
pleted the work of his office.
The most remarkable part Of
the director generals final re-
port is that dealing with the
claims against the government
filed by the railroads at the con-
clusion of Federal operation.
The roads publicity agents
filled the newspapers with
stories to the effect that the
roads were returned in run
down condition, and claims for
undermaintenance aggregating
$1,O14, 100000 were filed with
the railroad administration.
Eventually the roads accepted
less than 5 cents on the dollar.
