MUSSOLINI SUPREME

Premier Benito Mussolini, the su-
preme and unquestioned dictator of
the Italian government and the lives
of individual Italians under his do
minion, has made a spectacular but
empty gesture which, to the informed,
will be recognized at first glance as
insignificant.
The Monarch of Italy has resigned
seven of the eight cabinet posts he
had previously held in his own gov
eminent and retained the two key
positions in the government-that OF
the premiership and secretary of in
terror. Seven hand-picked secretaries,
doubtless we'll trained in the ritual
of their routine, fill the vacant posts.
What will happen to those underlings
should they have the audacity to move
against the will of their master is
painful to contemplate.
There is not the most vague shadow
of doubt but that Mussolini still is
and very probably will continue to
rule the destinies Of Italy exactly as he
wishes and any who would brook his
will are tampering with sure and sud
den vengeance.
Mussolini dominated the Italian gov
eminent for years through control of
eight of the thirteen cabinet votes but
the fact that he has released seven
of those votes and thus technically no
longer holds the necessary majority
in the palm of his hand for the whole
world to see, does not indicate that the
Duce has the slightest intention of re-
linquishing his power.
Benito the Great held on to abso-
lutte control technically as well as lit
orally of the government until he had
trained Italian statesmen to never dis
pute his suggestions. After years OF
training the premier is satisfied that
said statesmen will do just what he
expects them to do and in compensa-
ton for their aptitude in memorizing
their parts has conferred upon them
the various secretaryship titles
empty it is true, but titles neverthe-
less.
However nobody has any delusion as
to who still rules Italy.

ARE YOU JUST FISHING?"

Helpful lessons which frequently
spell success or failure can be learned
from the ''homey" things of every
day life. Two men prepare for days
outing along the streams. One makes
little or no preparation. His tackle
is carelessly assembled, his bait is in
ferior and not adapted to the fish he
seeks or the season of the year. Ar
irving at the chosen spot, he careless
ly and without thought or design
casts his lure in the water, allowing it
to drift whether it will. Then he per-
haps sleeps and without effort on his
part expects results. He is just
fishing.
His companion is of a different
character. He carefully selects his
rod, his hook, his line and his bait.
His lure is most attractive, suitable
for the season Of the year and the
fish he is seeking. He is successful,
where the former fails.
We can apply this to ourselves.
Some of US are just fishing. One
summer resort is fourishing, teening
with life and business. The other is
stagnating The former advertises
its advantages. The latter is content
to drift, leaving to chance whether
the tourist stops or passes through.
1t is just fishing.
One marchant decides to try a little
advertising, feeling that he is not get
ting his share of business. He care
lessly prepares his advertisement,
takes a few inches on the cheapest
page of the paper and then dozes,
awaiting results. If his first ad fails,
he does not take the trouble to cast
again, but condemns advertising.
His competitor just across the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1929-09-19

street, in the same block, realizing
that it is an off season, that business
is dull, spends much thought in his
endeavor to attract trade. He care
fully goes over his stock, selecting
certain seasonable articles for leaders,
and then flashes the news to the read
ing public in a full page display ad-
vertisement. There is instant res
ponse. He gets the business. He fol-
lows up his advantage, using the
same care each week in the prepara-
ton of his lure, with the result that
at the end of the season there are no
red entries on his ledger.
Advertising in manner best suited
to our needs, whether by the indi-
vidual or by community, pays.

TOWNS FAULT is YOURS

Now that the summer season is
over one is beginning to hear fire.
quently and on every hand, Oakland
is dead; wish l could get out of this
darned place; nothing to do; I'll go
crazy before the winter is over" and
so on far into the night.
Early this summer a series of radio
programs were broadcast in which the
advantages of Oakland were enumer-
ated. According to these programs,
Oakland was the paradise of Eastern
United States and the spot where ev-
erybody would eventually congregate,
settle down and live Indefinitely in
such a healthful climate.
ANY radio enthusiast listening in"
may have believed everything said
about Oakland, and decided to come
here to live, only to hear number Of
people eXclaiming when he got here,
"If l could only get out"
People who feel that Oakland is a
forsaken spot on the face of the earth
are merely helping to make it so. The
town cannot be greater than its peo-
pie, and if they are going to be small
potatoes" it is their own fault, and
they shouldn't be blaming the town for
their littleness. On the other hand,
the town has a right to blame them
for laying down on the job. But
most of them are not even content to
just lay down on the job. They
"knock" everything that is for the
good of the community and hold back
those who believe in Oakland as an
ideal town and who are striving to
make it equal to the reputation
gained thru radio broadcasting and
other advertising.
This summer a Boy Scout resented
the fact that Pittsburgh youth called
Oakland a chick town." and quietly
asked him if he had ever done any
thing to make Pittsburgh what it is.
He had not 1t just happened that he
had been born there. The Boy Scout,
however, believed in Oakland and had
had a part in making it better place
in which to live.
Those who are always belittling
Oakland because it is dead according
to their thinking, should ask them
selves just one question, did I ever
do anything to try to iven it up a
bit?" and if they haven't they
haven't any more right to knock Oak
land than the Pittsburgh boy had.
If Oakland is dead, the knockers
are making it that way. If it is dead
it is so because they enjoy being dead
themselves.
Get awake themselves and the town
will be awakened.
Set the alarm clock for seven or six
o'clock tomorrow morning.
