WHY RUSH?

Two doctors, in two different cities.
recently had something to say about
the rush of modern life. Dr. Charles
H. Mayo, of Rochester, Mimi, in an
address before group of doctors, ex-
pressed the opinion that the speed of
life presents a greater problem today
than disease. Most Of today's physi-
cal ailments are transient, running a
course and vanishing. But the proper
ton of insanity is twice what it was
before the automobile arrived.
DR.. Ernest L. Hines, chief medical
director of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company, in recent address
said that heart disease ranked first
in 1880 as a cause of death among the
company's policyholders in the Unit
ed States and Canada. It caused Is
per cent of the deaths. The heart dis
ease rate was II per cent in 1929 and
13 per cent in 1920.
"One of the primary reasons for the
increase" DR.. Hines said, sis the few
cred rush of modern life. The >combi-
nation of overworking, overeating and
overplaying drives the circulatory ma
chinery at top speed without allow
ing for rest periods which the body
needs for it's proper functions"
The strange thing about this rush
of contemporary life is that it is un-
necessary. 1t would be much easier
to prune our activities down to a
reasonable and healthful amount than
we flurried ones seem to realize. After
such pruning we'd enjoy the things we
chose to do more than ever and would
get more fun out of life than we do by
trying to keep up with everything.

REPUBLICANS HAVE SIX
SENATORS AT ANNAPOLIS
Number Is Small But Represen-
tative and of High Personal
Character and Ability
GARRETT SENATOR LIKED
BY PAUL WINCHESTER,
Annapolis Correspondent of The
Republican.

The Republican representation in
the State Senate is made up of men
of whom that party has every reason
to be proud and not the slightest rea-
son to be ashamed. All are men of
high personal character, not only as to
citizenship, but also as to their abil-
ity and real desire to do their best for
the welfare of the State at large as
representatives of their local communi-
ties whose immediate agents they are,
in the General Assembly of the State.
And in the present session the minor
ity members in both Houses, but es-
pecially in the Senate, are far above
the average of former years, not only
so far as their party is concerned, but
also are on equality with the repre-
sentatives of the majority.
In other words, all are gentlemen;
all are men whose character and abil-
ity are such that neither their imme-
sdiate constituents nor their party have
any reason to be other than proud of
them and well satisfied with any rec
ords they may make during the term
for which they have been chosen.
Two of the gentlemen who make up
the minority contingent have been
here before: Mr.. Andrews, of Dor

urday night. Games and music were
the features of the evening. Delic-

ginia Bowers; Pierce Warsaw and

Personal Mention
Robert Hamilton has returned from
Johns Hopkins Hospital where he had
been a patient for several weeks.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1931-03-05

that he is not only popular as bus
ines man but also as citizen to whom
right and good will are of more i'm
portance than gain, for his reputation
for square and honest dealing is such
that people from all sections of the
county, and not few from the near
by sections of Frederick, often travel
miles to deal with him at his large
and well equipped storehouse at Med
ford on the Western Maryland Rail-
way, few miles beyond Westminster.
A characteristic act of Mr.. Bale,
during the period of the great war
when prices were out of sight, was
the fact that he kept on selling at the
old prices and never raised his goods
to his customers, in order to gain the
extraordinary profits made by other
merchants. He had on hand a large
supply of sugar. AS long as it lasted,
and it lasted a long time, he sold it at
the old before-the-war prices. AS a
result he became famous in that sec
ton of the State and is known today
for his generous dealing with all.
He is credit to Carroll and to the
State, and his appearance, as he sits
in the Senate chamber bears out his
reputation. He is one of the kind of
men whom Poe, the great poet, had
in his mind when he wrote his cele-
brated line, two hundred years ago:
"An honest man is the noblest work
of God"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1931-03-05

lie who were above thought of dis
honest acquiring. They believed in
the honesty of the common people,
and felt that most persons could be
trusted not merely to be honest them
selves, but to war with righteous in
dignation against all who abuse the
opportunities of public life.
The average American citizen does
not approve of corruption today, but
he feels it is too much trouble tc war
against it. If he can see that a GER
tain type of graft costs him $50 an
nually, he considers that it might cost
him several times that amount to take
part in some effort to fight it. He
does not want to be bothered, or take
his time for political work, or incur
the antagonism of anyone, so he just
submits to it and smiles cynically.
Furthermore, there is large class
of people who will vote for people
whom they have reason to know are
not above corrupt practices, provided
such ones will make promises to favor
the particular element to which they
belong.
Our government is going to be ex-
tremely costly, if the people allow this
spirit to rule. This easy going at
titude toward dishonesty is one result
of the money chasing spirit of the
times, which makes the acquisition OF
wealth the most important thing. 1t
is also encouraged by the tendency
in Americas educational system to
lay stress on the acquiring of mere
knowledge and ability to earn a liv-
ing, without due emphasis on funda-
mental virtues like common honesty

LENTEN; AIMS

The observance of Lent is as old as
the Christian era. A practice that
has lasted so many centuries is a very
remarkable thing. It must be based
somehow on human needs, and it must
have supplied some human want, or
it would have died out long before
this. . BE-, ..-.,.
In these materialistic times, great
portion of the people give scarcely a
thought to such a custom. The ideas
for which it prominently stands are
those of reflection, penitence, self sac
riice and abstinence. These ideas
are not popular today. The world is
in too much of a rush to do much re-
fleeing. It is too busy anticipating the
future to spend time in regrets. It is
too selfish for much self sacrifice. And
it prefers physical satisfaction to alb
stinence.
And yet these four principles are
all vital. People who do not reflect,
make mistakes they bitterly regret.
Those who do not regret their follies
are not developing anything worth
while in human nature. Those who are
not capable of self sacrifice will never
attain any nobility of character. Those
who are incapable of rational absti-
nence spend their lives in mere coarse
self pleasing.
Any custom that turns peoples
aims in the direction of reflection,
repentance, self sacrifice, and absti-
nence, should draw people out of
their absorption in selfish aims. It
suggests that life is not given us
wholly for pleasing ourselves, nor
for indulging our animal natures.
It is extremely easy for people to
settle down into self conferred habits
of life. Getting money, having a
good time, pleasing our senses, these
seem to be the ends that satisfy the
majority. But human nature gets no
where when it seeks simply those
ends. People are not very far re-
moved above the animals when their
impulses are confined within these
narrow rounds. The Lenten custom
tells it's devotees that life is more
than all that.

B. & o. Places Large LOcOmO-
tiyeS In Service

Following tests by the Motive
Power department of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company on the
Cumberland and other mountain di-
visions of the system, four jumbo
locomotives, two freight and two pas
senger, have been put in service.
They represent the last work in
modern locomotive designing fol
traction power, economy in operation
and speed with safety. They were
built by the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, and are huge monsters with a
boiler pressure of $50 pounds, twenty
pounds in excess of any other loco
motive in service.
The freight engines are Nos. 74OC
and 745O, known as Mallet improved
mountain type. While the Mallet is
regarded as two-engines-in-one, the
new type closely approximates three
in-one. They carry every labor saw
ing and economic gadget known to the
locomotive builder.
The passenger locomotives are Nos
$50 and $3.50. They have what auto
builders call streamline.
The two new Mallet freight loco
motives are now in service between
Brunswick and Keyser and New Cas-!
tie and Willard. All records for long
trains and tonnage have been broken
and smashed by the two engines, and
it is declared that yardmasters are
kept busy trying to find enough loads
in terminal yards to stick on the
trains. The old day of the familiarity
of the head brakeman on the engine OF
such trains with the flagman or con-
ductor in the caboose on the rear is
gone, and they talk by telephone en-
route between stations.
AS for the new passenger locomo-
tives, they have been placed or
"crack" B. & O. trains between Wash
ington and Pittsburgh, and negotiate
the mountain grades without any
helper. At a recent test the 500 was
put on the head end of a passenger
train leaving Cumberland, steam was
shut-off the regular engine at Balti-
more street, and the $50 never knew
nothing" about it but dragged the
supposed dead" locomotive and the
regular passenger train up the noun
tain to the top of the grade without
any apparent effort and keeping up
schedule speed.
In this connection the Motive Power
management on the Cumberland divis-
ion anticipating larger locomotives,
installed huge electrically operated
turntables at Keyser and Cumber-
land last year.
The Cumberland Back or Erect
ing shop is the exclusive home sta
ton for all Mallet type locomotives,
and they are repaired and re-condi-
toned there for all over the system

COUNTY AGENTS COLUMN
T. Fl. CARTER.
Resident County Agent,

More complete information will be
available for those who desire to keep
in touch with Maryland crop and farm
conditions than could be obtained in
recent years, it is announced by the
Extension Service of the University
of Maryland. It is stated that Mr.
Richard C. Ross, a trained statistician
of the United States Government, will
be located at the University in College
Park and will devote his time to as
sembling and arranging information
from all counties in the State, rela-
tive to agricultural conditions.
A number of years ago, it is said,
Maryland had the benefit of a similar
service, but in recent years had to de-
pend for this important information
upon the part-time efforts of Stats
tician located in Washington. The
new arrangement, according to DR.
Thomas B. Symons, Director of Ex-
tension, who had an active part in
bringing it about, puts Maryland on
the same basis as most of the other
important agricultural states and as
sures more complete and more up-to-
date information than at any time in
the past. He further points out that
in seasons such as the drought year
of 1880 it is highly essential that an
accurate knowledge of farming condi-
tions be available at all times, as
knowledge of that kind is necessary
as basis for any emergency or relief
measures that are undertaken.
1t is advisable that all correspon-
dence relating to crop reports should
be addressed to Agricultural Statisti-

TOLERATION FOR CORRUP.
TION

One of the worst features about the
corruption that disgraces the politics
of many cities, is the easy going and
cynical way in which the citizens of
these communities view it. They
laugh at it, and say, "Everybody's
getting it." Many of them do some
quiet figuring as to how they can OBJ
tain their share of it.

ments Of the founders of our repub-

come from Miss Alcott did not know.
However, she adopted them all on the

him by purrins loudly around his legs.
Probably they thought he had been
lost, too.

didn't need to. Miss Louisa had no.
