Bears Killing Sheep.

Bears have been creating havoc
among the sheep flocks of the section
of country surrounding Bayard, just
across the Potomac River from Gar
rett county. The focks of Henry Ash
by and Ernest Cullers have been Wis
tied repeatedly, Mr.. Ashby claiming a
loss of about twenty sheep while close
to fifty are missing from the flocks
of Mr.. Cullers. Efforts to trap the
bears have been fruitless up to this
time, and sheep owners are getting
greatly worried. The bears seem quite
tame, one of them coming up to the
barn of Mr.. Cullers few nights ago

LAW ENFORCEMENT DAY
IS OBSERVED AT THE PARK
Program Ends Seasons Activi-
ties at Mountain Lake

Law Enforcement Day was observ-
ed at Mountain Lake Park last Sun
day, the meeting being held in the au
ditorium and marked the close of the
seasons activities at this popular re-
sort.
The days program was in charge Of
George W. Crabbe, superintendent of
the Maryland Anti-Saloon League.
Large audiences were present both
morning and afternoon.
Superintendent Crabbe, in the course
of his remarks in the morning said:
"The friends of law enforcement will
never accept the failure of the enc
mics of the law who are holding law
enforcement jobs as the failure OF
prohibition. This policy of govern
ment will never be given fair trial
until it's enforcement is in the hands
of officers who believe in the law"
Renninger Speaks Plainly.
julius C. Renninger, of Oakland,
who is States Attorney for Garrett
county, pledged himself for enforce
ment of law, declaring that he was
not only in favor of the law, but was
also in favor of prohibition.
Cyrus F. Flock, of Hagerstown,
talked on the Importance of enforcing
the Constitution. He said it was just
as dangerous to disregard one part of
it as another.
The Rev. Roland Aspinall, pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal church at
Mountain Lake Park, also made an
address upon the subject of law en-
forcement.
Former United States Senator Rob-
ert L. Owen, of Oklahoma, who was
to have been the principal speaker
upon the occasion, was unable to be
present on account of the illness of
his son.
The Gormania Band furnished mu-
sic for the meeting and there was
community singing.

Rev. Brock Makes Address.
Rev. Walter B. Brock, pastor of the
Oakland Presbyterian church, was the
speaker at the last meeting of the To-
cal Rotary Club, held on Friday at
the William-James Hotel. He based
his remarks upon an editorial appear
pg recently in one of the metropoli-
tan dailies and showed what the condi-
tion of Philadelphia and any other
city would be like if there were no
churches. He pictured what Oakland
would resemble with no churches or
other means of Christian religious
teaching or training for the youth.
He said the United State would re-
trace its steps to a state of barbar-
ism if churches were taken out of the
cities and in their places jails and pen
itentiaries and other penal instiut-
tions would be erected. Hospitals and
schools would disappear and state
well along the lines of the stone-age
when the strong got what they wanted
as against the weak would be develop
ed and hold sway.

STRIKES OF THE WORKERS
By FRANK GII.LIS.

One of the most important strikes of the workers
was the Passaic strike. Many speeches were made.
The most important speaker was Albert Weisbord
AT company in the Passaic dye works there was
hard work. Foremen and workers got together and
tried to organize union. They went and told the
boss; the boss showed them the door. At last AL
bert Weisbord talked and showed them how. They
asked him if he would be their leader. He said he
would. They were delighted at this. With Albert
Weisbord as their leader they were sure of a good
organization They would meet at a certain place
and have meetings every week. At last they were
ready for strike. It made them sick to see a rich
man smoking a cigar while the working people
were fainting. They went into the boss and said
that they were ready for strike. The boss said
they were fired. They said that they did not have
to be fired, they quit The boss got discouraged at
first. He thought they were kidding like before
but after while he found out it was true The
march began from factory TO factory. They went
picking up as many they could Many people
were hurt. Then they OF their gas masks. When
the police wanted to punish them, they had to do
it by squirting ice cold water them in zero wealth.

SACCO AND VANZETTI

Sacco and Vanzett the two Italian fighters Of
the working class, who were convicted in 1920.
were sentenced to die in the electric chair during
the week of July 10. Vanzetti said, my convic-
ton is that 1 have suffered because am a radical
and an Italian. But if you were to execute me two
times and were to be reborn would again do
as have done already"
COmrade children of the working class Every
body knows that Comrades Sacco and Vanzetti
are innocent of the crimes they are charged with.
Everybody knows that the enemies of the workers
want to get rid of Sacco and Vanzetti and so they
have framed-up charges on these two innocent
workers, as they did with Tom Mooney and others.
They stop short of nothing to get rid of workers
who are radical and fight for the working class.
Our slogan must be "Sacco and Vanzetti Shall
Not Die" and we must back up our slogan by get
ting all people, especially workers. to protest against
this great wrong.

 Cowan killed Miss Edith Burton in December. 1895. in her Brooklyn apartment. He was found beside her body. a bullet in his head. His attempt at suicide failed, however, and he was brought to trial and convicted.
 The bullet which he had meant 10 end his life injured his nervous sys- tcm so that he became blind. While in the death cell, he lost his hear ing in one ear, his sense Of taste and smell.
 Cowan. who had been hotel clerk, always claimed Miss Burton killed herself. He said he had stolen s12.o00 and fearing discovery planned suicide. Miss Burton. who had shared in the money, wanted 10 die with him, he said.
 Two Others Die.
 Provensana and Fria paid the penalty for a murder that had all the bizarre clements of a grand opera plot.
 Provensana was in love with the wife O. James Lemarde. They plot ted to kill Lemarie so they could elope. Neither, however. wanted to run the risk Of being the murderer, so they made Fria the dupe. Mrs. LemardA pretended 10 be in love with F'ria and induced him to mur- der her husband. When Fria learned how he had been tricked, he turned states evi- dence and all three were convicted. Mrs. Lemarde Is now in Auburn prison.
 The bitter hatred between the two men existed until their last breath. Fria protested vigorously when he vas told that he would go to the . chair first. He wanted to be alive and exult when his enemy died. Just before execution time, prison officials changed their plans and Fria was given that last bitter con- solation. Provensana was pronounce ed dead al 1l:1l p. n., and Fria at 11:19.
