DON'T misunderstood.

Last week West Virginians had a
very good excuse for believing that
they were not welcome in this part of
the country, though entirely foreign
to the true state of affairs. From the
number of arrests made by State Po-
liceman Thomas Currie for minor vlo-
lations of the motor law, it will be OBJ
served that the majority of the VIOLA
tors were West Virginians.
Now, The Republican is not inclined
to censure the officer. He was merely
doing his duty, and it happened that
his reprimands fell upon drivers Of
West Virginia cars. Perhaps this week
most of the arrests made were of
unfortunate Marylanders. But the fact
that most of the arrests last week
were of people from West Virginia,
the conclusion might easily be drawn
that they were not wanted in Mary
land or in Oakland.
That conclusion is just opposite
from the true state of affairs. Oak
land and Garrett county welcome peo-
pie from West Virginia or from any
other section of the nation. The resi-
dents of town or of the county are not
out to arrest and have them fned-in
fact they had nothing whatever to do
with the arrests made last week. Yet,
people without giving matters of this
nature mature thought would blame
the town of Oakland for their trou-
bles.
1t just happened that way, so in
the words of the towns philosopher,
"think nothing of it."

ADMIRABLE SENTIMENT.

Owen D. Young, eminent lawyer and
diplomat, adviser of great corpora
lions, member of President Wilson's
second industrial conference, and the
choice of at least one leading South
ern newspaper for the Democratic
nomination for President this year, at
tracted the interested attention Of
thoughtful people by an utterance in
the course of his recent New England
Society address. He applied the Scrip
tural parable of the unused talent to
nations as well as to individuals, and
in part said;
"Let not the greatest (nation)
stand dumb when it should
speak. Let it not be idle when it
should act. Let it have courage
and sympathy and vision. Let it
assume the responsibility of a
leadership commensurate with
Gods great gifts TO it. Let it be
unafraid for itself and unsupic-
ious of others. Let the paralysis
of small views and the selfishness
of littleness be condemned in our
politics at home and never be-
come a part of our policy
abroad"
This is admirable sentiment. But
as vision only of what ought to be, it
takes no note of formidable difficulties
and obstructing realities. A nation as
a nation in its relation to other ma
tons is not its best and most forward
looking public; it is merely a govern
ment or group of men in power, inev
itably influenced by party politics and
the demands of a dominating indus
trialism. Therefore, AIS to the aspira-
ton both toward national and interna-
tional leadership inspired by courage,
sympathy and vision it must ever,
unfortunately, contend with "the par
alysis of small views and the selfish
ness of littleness.'

MARYLAND NOW HAS so
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES
Twenty-Five Years Ago There
was Only One, She in Baltimore

Over twenty-five years ago the first
public health nurse in Maryland put
on her blue uniform and began her
work in Baltimore City. That event
and the establishment of the State
Nurses Association will be celebrated
during the annual meeting of the
Association in Baltimore, January 25,
&c and 81. At first nearly all of the
visiting" nursing, as it was called,
was done in Baltimore City. Later it
was extended to the counties. In 1920
the number of public health nurses
working in the counties was eight.
Now there are fifty, three of whom
are colored. The colored nurses are
engaged in work among their own
race.
ga good idea of the scope of the
public health nursing work can be
gathered from the monthly reports of
the nurses" Mrs. John Paul Troy, Ad
visory Nurse of the State Department
of Health, said. "Here is one taken
at random from those of December. 1t
is typical of all of them. In each
section the nursing work is adapted
to the needs of that particular dis
trict and is carried on under the direc-
ton of the Deputy or local Health
Officer, but the underlying purpose is
the same everywhere, the prevention
of disease and the promotion of
health. So, if you want to form a
mental picture of the work the nurses
are doing throughout the State in as
sisting in the control of communica-
BILE diseases; in the school; for moth
ers and babies and children under
school age; for crippled children or
for others in need of special care, just
multiply this account by fifty.
Here are the main items from this
nurses report:

A WAYSIDE SERMON
DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.

Since the last meeting of the Mayor
and Town Council, which was held on
January 2, when the advisability Of
extending Wilson street across the
Baltimore and Ohio tracks to connect
with the State road at the entrance
to the baseball field, was discussed,
there have been many voices heard
both for and against such a move.
Those in favor of the proposition
say that it will benefit Rosedale by
making the distance required to reach
it somewhat shorter and that it will
also affect the people of Oakland re-
siding on the north side of the B. &
o. when they have occasion to use the
roadway in reaching points west of
town.
Those against the proposition point
out the needlessness of another cross
ing over the tracks of the railway
company, the dangers involved and
the urgent need of repairing what
streets Oakland already has before
adding more. Specifically these men
and taxpayers use the argument that
the paved streets need repaving in
places, the Strengthening of the curb
stones which project at many angles
in the streets and other less expensive
repairs.
The Republican thinks there is JUS
tice to both arguments and that both
sides should be considered seriously
before the petition is passed around
asking for the opening of the street in
question. 1t is something that is to
be settled entirely by the people. Make
up your mind, one way or the other.

B0WLERS TO HOLD FIRST
OF A SERIES OF BANQUETS
General Get-tOgether Meeting to
be Held Thursday, January
26, at Manhattan Hotel.

The first of a series of banquets for
members and friends of the Bowling
League Of Oakland will be held on
Thursday, January 26, at the Manhat-
tan Hotel in Oakland, "Bill' Gibson,
manager of the league, announced
yesterday.
This is following out the program
inaugurated last year Of having sew
eral dinners throughout the season
where everyone can get together for
good time and discuss any question
that might have arisen during the
competition" Mr.. Gibson said. "The
dinner will be served for S1.00 per
plate, and 1 must know at least two
days in advance just exactly how
many are expecting to attend. So
send in or give me your dollar. 1 ex-

Last year we had as many as sixty
nine at these banquets."
The lead between the first and Sec
ond place in the league has been mar
rowed considerably in this weeks
play, the Postoffice losing three out of
their six games played, and the X. of

TWENTY EVEN YEARS FOR
STEALING $3.50.

Two New York boys held up a
pedestrian one night and robbed him
of $3.50. The other day they were
sentenced to 27 years in prison for the
crime.
At first glance this sentence seems
out of all proportion. But when you
consider it closely we believe you'll
agree there was justice in it.
The boys, to begin with, carried
weapons. Suppose the man had resist
ed; it is logical to assume that they
would have used them. 1t was the
operation of chance, not their own
wills, that kept them from being muir
derers.
In the second place, suppose their
victim had had $4,000 in his pocket
instead of $3.50. If you read that two
men had been given q years in prison
for robbing a man of $4,000 you
wouldn't have thought the sentence
particularly excessive. Yet their crime,

ture Chang will be worth more than
a dozen superproduction which cost
S2,OOO,OO0. For this picture has one
quality which most pictures lack, and
that IS reality. The trouble with the
average movie, more than the rela-
lively trivial question of art, is the ir-
ritating artificialty that hangs over
it.; no matter how ingenious the story
or how beautiful the photography, an
intelligent person finds it hard be-
lieve the events which transpire on the
screen. But no such weakness in
heres in this picture. You can no more
double it than you can doubt your own
eyes. And this is becauhe those who
made it went straight to nature for
their materials.
"Like the picture Grass in viii h
Mr.. Merriam G Cooper also had hand,
it deals with the struggle of primitive
people against elemental things. In
Grass it was the laborious journey of
Asiatic nomads to follow the grass
which fed their herds. In Chang it
is the dangerous battle of Siamese
savages against the jungle. And this
jungle, with the leopards, monkeys,
constructors, bears, tigers and ele-
plants which inhabit it, could not be
faxed. 1t had to be stalked honestly,
patiently, and often at great hazard;
and the result is one of the greatest
Photographic documents that has ever
been made. Perhaps the greatest thrill
of all is where herd of elephants,
numbering many score, stampede right
into the cameras eye. What feeling

great legs pound right over you.

Aggressive Christianity.

A traveller in Mexico said that the
strangest thing he observed was a
Singer sewing machine in almost
every home. There may have been
nothing else in the huts, no chairs,
no stove, perhaps not even a bed, but
there was almost sure to be sew
ing machine. This was especially
strange because, in that tropical eli
mate, where clothes are more or less
unnecessary, a sewing machine was
the one article of furniture of no con-
ceivable use.
This is simply an illustration of the
aggressiveness of modern business
the power of advertising and sales
manship to make people want things
which they do not need and buy things
which they do not really want.
Aggressiveness is one of the secrets
of success in business. But when it
comes to the Fathers business, whose
agents we all are-oh, dear, how tired
we feel! If we serve our employer as
we serve the Lord, we should be fired
Immediately. For each of US there
will be day of reckoning when the
Business Manager of the universe
calls US to account for the use we have
made of our talents. Shall we then
hear the divine word of approval:
"Well done, good and faithful SER
want ?" That will depend upon whether
we are now devoting our talents-our
abilities, our energies, our posses
sions-to the service of our fellow
men and the upbuilding of Gods
Kingdom, or burying those talents in
the graveyard of neglect.
We ought to live so that we may be
able to testify, like Job, 81 was eyes
to the blind, and feet was l to the
lame; l was a father to the needy, and
the cause of him that l knew not
searched out."-Job 29:16. His was
aggressive love, not waiting for cases
of need to come to him, but searching
out the unknown cause. Job practiced
the fine art of neighborliness with a
sensitive sympathy quick to hear the
unwhispered petition and quick to an
swer it, tactfully.
In the battle of life, our only safe
defense lies in the strategy of attack.
We cannot stand still; we must either
go forward or go backward. When we
stop using a muscle, it begins to
wither away. When we cease to use a
mental Or spiritual faculty, it begins
to rust away. The forces of decay are
relentlessly attacking US; and when
we cease to struggle, we surrender.
The only safe defense is in constant
aggression.
What the Red Queen said about the
Looking Glass country is true also of
our country-it takes a great deal of
strenuous running just to keep in the
same place. The athlete must be con-
tinually running around the cinder
track in order to keep in the same con-

even though it involved only $3.50,
was just as great.
We are going into this case at this
length because it is typical of many
cases which are seized on by senti-
mentalists. People who feel that we
abuse our criminals are fond of COM
pairing the dollars and cents involved
in such cases with the sentences i'm
posed. These people need to realize
that it isn't the amount of money tax
en- that makes a robbery serious; it is
the act of highway robbery itself.

IN THRILLER ON TUESDAY
Extra Period Required To Down
Visiting Team-McCOmas Led
In Oakland's Scoring.

Tied at the end of the game at %
all, an extra five minute period was
needed by the Oakland Collegians to
send the Fairmont Y. NJ. c. A. team
of basketball players down to defeat
on Tuesday night at MAYORS Hall
in Oakland. The final score was 1890.
Oakland's final squirt in the last
quarter enabled the teams to be dead
locked at % all at the close of the reg
ulation game, but in the extra period
Oakland won the game by scoring
four points, while the visitors were
garnering but two.
Fairmont led at half time, 1911,
and continued in the lead until the
third quarter, when Oakland rallied
and tied and then passed the Fair
monters. The "Y" men came back,
however, to tie the count just before
the whistle blew.
McComas, center on the Oakland
team, was high scorer, with eight field
goals to his credit. Kirchman, of the
visitors, with his six field goals, led
the scorers for Fairmont. The vic
tory Tuesday night avenged the 1925
trimming which the Fairmont regis
tered against the local team at Fair

recent conqueors Of Minnesota will
be anxious to settle the 1927 spill
they suffered at Lafayette last fall
when the score was 1876 against
them. Minnesota, when intact on
man power, trimmed the Boiler
makers is to early this season and
that might mean that the Hanley-
coached team has an edge. But
Jimmy Phelan, Purdue mentor, did
not push his team last Saturday
against Case and the Boilermakers
have a great squad this fall. The
battle at Chicago should be a
thriller, with chances favoring
Purdue.
Alonzo Stagg has another tough
assignment this weekend taking
his Maroons to Madison to meet

set this fall, especially since their
wins over Notre Dame and Michi-

but, just as was the case of Michi-
gan against Illinois, the Staggmen
have been improving each week.
Last week they battled Pennsyl-

expect them to upset Wisconsin.
