ROCK-RIBBED GARRETT COUNTY HILLY SCENIC SPOTS:
HISTORIC AND NATURAL SETTING NAME MOUNTAINS

Located in extreme Western Mary
land, rock-ribbed Garrett county
abounds in primitive mountain quail,
wild game and naturalistic scenery,
mirror lakes, struggling streams and
pointed rocks.
Garrett county was carved from
the territory belonging to Allegany
county in 1872. Most of the land was
well forested, though most of the
timber has been cut over and culled
out. Forest products are one of the
major sources of CARROTS wealth.
The western part of this county diff
fers much from the lower part. The
face of the country is more elevated,
the climate colder, the water clear
and cold, and in all the larger streams
trout are found to be plentiful.
This section of the county is hem
med in by the following mountains:
Dams Mountain, Meadow Mountain,
and Negro Mountain.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1930-11-27

Dams Mountain obtained its name
from the fact that Daniel Cresap was
the first settler on these fine bottoms
along the Potomac River. Meadow
Mountain owes its title to the once
beautiful glades on its western slope.
Negro Mountain is so called because,
after Braddock's defeat on I'll e
Monongahela, scouting party travel
ing Braddock's road came in contact
with party of Indians. A skirmish
ensued in which one Indian was killed
and very large Negro was mortally
wounded. He was placed under a
sheltering rock until the party should
return from the expedition. When it
returned the following night the Ne
gro was still under the rock grooming.
Fear of Indians being great, they did
not go to his rescue. They left him
to die in the woods on the mountain
which bears the name of his race
Yough Ripples.

BITTINGER

During coon hunt one night last
week, Walter Fazenbaker, one of
the local nimrods of this community,
had the misfortune of being rather
painfully injured. His dog had freed
coon and in order to get the ami
NAL Mr.. Fazenbaker found it neces-
sary to cut the tree down. When the
tree began falling he ran towards the
point on the ground where the top Of
the tree would strike in order to be
on hand when the coon ran out, but in
falling the tree struck huge rock
and was thrown sidewise, hitting the
hunter, throwing him to the ground
and injuring him rather painfully
ebout the shoulders. The coon, of
course, escaped, and the hunter is re-
covering.

Getting Warm for Governor Young

1t has been the stock argument of those opposed
10 the release Of Mooney and Billings that good
people" want them freed The campaign for their
pardon is alleged to be nothing more than noisy
propaganda engineered by few reds"
This dodge has received rude shock from an
ope Meter to Governor Young by Murphy McHenry,
editor of the San Luis Obispo Daily Telegram.
From this it appears that Governor Young handed
to his private secretary, Charles Whtmore the
task Of examining the evidence in the Mooney Billings
case and of making a report to the Governor. The
public was not told of the nature of Whtmores
report but Editor McHenry had talk with Whit
more, state building and loan commissioner Of
California. According to McHenry Whtmore said
to him:
"I can not understand why Governor Young does
not act. Mooney deserves to be pardoned, and I
told him (the GOVERNOR so. 1 do not understand
why the Governor continues to delay"
But the Governor not only delays. He has evaded
his responsibility by passing the buck to the state
pardon board which likewise is procrastnating and
lodging the issue. Editor McHenry talks straight to
the Governor in his open letter:
you turned the case over to your former secre-
tary Charles Whitmore, with the public announce
ment that he would investigate the true facts and
that you then would make your decision Whitmore
made his investigation and reported to you But did
you tell your constituents his conclusions? You
did notI
Now you have again passed the buck, shifting
the burden to the parole board. 1t is just another
delay-just another reason why the people of Cali
fornia are beginning to wonder what is wrong"
The Governor will not find it so easy to laugh
this one off In the words of Whitmore, have
plain talk by eninently respectable California
public servant. He a distinguished member of
the Governors official family. 1t will be hard to
fasten on him the faint of radical inspiration.

AS long as the menace of war remains, the
President warns u.s. we must dig down and pay for
our national defense until it hurts. AS long as the

taxpayers money IS better spent than that which
goes to keep the enemy from our shores.

income Ninety Billions

A T present, the aggregate annual
L a income of the American people
is estimated at ninety billion dol
lars.
1t takes ten or fifteen billion to
run the automobiles, and three or
four billions for theaters, baseball,
and amusement parks.
Then there is the candy, cosmetic
and jewelry bill. Among other
things, we have 5000 or 5000 golf
clubs, with million or more mem
bers.
BY eliminating these and other
similar items, you easily could prove
that the necessities of life-food,
shelter, clothing, heat and light
account for a comparatively small
portion of the ninety billion income.
People can not stand still and be
prosperous.

are rooted in movement.

but to give them the opportunity

DY and large, American con-
- sumption is not unwholesome
in this respect.
Admitting that 80 per cent Of our
automobiles are driven for pleasure,
what great harm does it do?
On the other hand, is it not a
healthy, and perhaps, an educa-
tional form of recreation?
Admitting that we have bought
millions of victrolas and radio sets
mostly on the installment plan
how does it threaten our morals?
Certainly these instruments have
helped to keep young people at
home, which is desirable, and GER
tainly that represents an improve
ment over some of the mid Victorian
devices, such as the saloon and the
poolroom.
We could stand more classical mu-
sic perhaps and a better grade of
literature. So, too, it might be well
for us to put more of our money
into substantial art.
But, conceding all that, we must
avoid the foolish idea that our in
dustrial structure could be shriv-
eled to the production of necessi-
ties, or that prosperity can be based
upon anything but the consumption
of many things which we really dc
not need.

For the Glory of God

Does good end justify admittedly reprehenslnie
means in obtaining the desired goal? Are lies and
misrepresentation sanctifed if employed In adVanc-
ing what is believed to be a laudable cause?
These are issues which have provoked the most
lively debate for many centuries They are brought
sharply to the fore in the present case OF the pro-
pretors of the Dunster House Bookshop in Cambridge
Mass. condemned for having sold copy OF D. H.
Lavrence's LADY Chatterlys Lover" to an investl-
Gator for the Watch and Ward Society Of Boston.
This investigator admitted that the bookshop was
not offering the book for general sale to the pubic
that it could obtained only upon special order and
that false Names false statements and general decep-
ton were employed to induce the shop to order the
book.
The order and sale of the book was alleged by the
Watch and Ward Society to be a criminal act There
fore by its own admission the society was guilty not
only of overt dishonesty but also of conspiracy to
induce commission of a crime.
1t is admitted pretty generally among reasonable
men that good faith honesty integrity, and fair play
are among the very foundations of civilized society
Yet the Watch and Ward Society apparently believed
that such sacred principles these might be lightly
sacrificed so dubious conception of public morals
might be perpetuated. 1t reminds of the boy who
pointed to the elephant in the circus parade with
l1sty curses and was reprmanded by his mother for
pointing.
Moralists of the color of the Watch and Ward
Society are particularly socitous about the sanctty
of a signature and the precision OF names IN cases
where their Interpretation Of morals is involved 1hey
would pounce with delight upon man who violated
the famous "true name bill" Of Massachusetts by
registering at a Boston hotel under a false name
With woman presumably not his wife
Still further, the whole practice Of shopping to
detect possible crime may be called into question
It smaters of the old maid who asked for the arrest
of man alleged to be disrobing before window
without drawing the curtain The maiden lady adj
mitted that she had detected the atrocious misde-
meanor with the aid of field glasses.
The Watch and Ward Society has gone one step
further It has snooped and lied so it might incte
man to commit a crime. Few far-minded men Will
doubt that the society deserved the severe casgation
which they received at the hands of the judge the dis
rict attorney and the counsel for the defense. That
It will profit by this censure may be doubted from
knowledge of the past behavior of the society.
