starved youngsters, and a

him as he talked. There
weren't many words. His
cracked blue lips moved slowly
in the clay pallor of his face.

WE have been so much
'" concerned in recent
months with American af-
fairs that most of us have
not kept pace with the hap
penings across the sea. An
interesting proposal for the
reform" of the House of
Lords in England has been
made by a committee headed
by the Marques of Sails
bury. 1t is frankly advanced
on the ground that there is
possibility of a strong So
cialist government coming
into power, and that the
peers should so strengthen
their position in the public
esteem that they can, with
out danger, kill any socialist
program that may be pre-
sented.
1T is proposed to reduce
the membership of the House
of Lords from 759 to 320.
This should not cause any
mental anguish in the more
than 400 who would be de-
prived of seats, since only
small proportion of the
peers attend to their par
liamentary duties anyway.
More interesting is the
plan for choosing $50 men,
bers from among the peers
by the selection of the peers
themselves. They will elect
their representatives, just as
the people elect theirs to
the commons.
Another $50 would be
chosen by county councils
from among the peers who
seem qualified for the work
of craftsmanship.
The other 20 would be
members -officio-such as
the peers of the blood, the
A r C h b is h ops and some
bishops.
But, it will be noted, there
is no proposal that peers
shall be elected by the peo-
pie. The strictly hereditary
principle is to be maintained.
And the reason set forth by
the committee is this:
It would be dangerous
to leave the monarchy as
the only hereditary element
in the constitution"

Exceptions to
The Rule

There are, and always
have been, members of the
peerage who inherit4d their
places, who have been highly
competent for public service
and qualified in statesman
ship. But these are, and al
ways have been, exceptions
to the rule. The majority
have had no intelligent in
terest in public matters that
did not affect them person.
ally. Most of the titled
statesmen with whom we
have been familiar for a
hundred years have earned
distinction as commoners
and been raised to the peer
age. Disraeli is an illustra-
ton. Many, long common
ers, who died as peers, never
distinguished themselves af-
ter entering the House Of
Lords. Asquith is an il
lustration; and Morley and
Bryce. 1t remains to be
seen whether Sn nowden will
ever be able to soar in the
more rarified atmosphere of
the more gorgeous chamber.
Somehow he seems a bit out
of place-like a musketeer
in a drawing room.
However, Notwithstanding
occasional geniuses in the
house of peers, it has had
power out of proportion to
the ability of its member

Rank Counts
In Russia

Perhaps respect and rev.
erence for station is passing
out, and this is not alto
gether an agreeable thought.
The other day in Russia the
wife of Stain, one of the
most powerful rulers of the
earth, died. The nation, as
a nation, momentariIy took
no more cognizance of her
passing than if she were
peasant, illiterate and un-
known.
The Moscow press did not
indicate in their obituaries
that she was the consort of
the nations ruler. But on
the day of the funeral,
Soviet Russia paid its tribute
to position - even rank -
with a military display, with
thousands in the streets,
with Stain walking behind
the red hearse; and so the
consort of a Soviet ruler
was borne to famous mon
astery where lies the first
wife of Peter the Great. Yes,
rank does count-in Russia.

The Peers Were
Being Tainted

Reading this story of to-
day, l recalled the efforts
of Lord Rosebery, the most
brilliant of the peers in two
generations, to persuade his
fellows in the peerage to re-
form themselves many years
ago. In his biography, by
the Earl Of Crew, l find the
story of tha' attempt.
1t was at the time of the
Lloyd George budget in
1907, when, in anticipation
of the defeat of the budget
in the House of Lords after
it's easy passage in the Com
mons on the mandate of the
people, the peers were being
taunted and attacked in all
the speeches. It was as
sumed, on threats made,
that in the event the budget
failed in the house of the
peers, the Liberal govern
ment would go to the peo-
pie for the power to take
away from the upper cham
ber the right of veto. While
opposed to the budget, and
convinced, from his view
point, that it was socialistic,
Rosebery did not vote
against it and warned his
fellow lords that their action
would mean a tremendous
attack upon their house. And
so it turned out.

had been permitted to sleep
by the Liberals. Asquith was
not keen about it. But the
hue and cry had been raised
in the fight on the Lloyd
George budget and it was
evident that something would
be done. The Liberals cared
nothing about the compost
tion of the House of Lords;
they were interested solely in
it's relation to the House of
Commons. But in any con-
test that might ensue Rose
berry felt that the compost
tion of the Lords would have
an effect on the attitude of
the people at the polls, Thus
he proposed a plan of reform.
The Two Plans
Are Similar
The Rosebery plan pro-
posed that the house should
be composed of three ele-
ments. One was to be COM
posed of hereditary peers
chosen by themselves. An
other was to consist of lords
sitting by virtue of office.
Another was to consist of
men chosen from the outside.
1t will be observed that this
plan, like that now pending,
contemplated a limitation of
the membership. The peers
were to elect peers-as in the
Salisbury plan. But the
biographer of Rosebery does
not make clear just what was
meant by the selection of
members "chosep from out
side" 1t would seem to
mean the introduction Of
nonhereditary members.
But, on the whole, the two
plans are similar enough to
justify the conclusion that
even now, though dead, the
brilliant Rosebery is leading
the lords in the battle against
absolute extinction. Perhaps
too late.

Civic Club Makes Appeal Fol
Surplus of Belongings

An urgent appeal is being made by
the Oakland Civic Club for large
collection of all surplus clothing and
household furnishings, to be dispensed
in the near future to those who are
in need of them and have very little
money with which to buy.
These articles are to be sold at a
rummage sale at nominal prices,
either in exchange for work or mon-
ey, Miss Lottie Loar, president, stat
ed this morning, and in this way it is
hoped to reach everyone in need.
Any resident of Oakland who has
a surplus of anything is asked to turn
it over to the Civic Club. They may
be taken to the grand jury room in the
court house from two until four o.
clock each day, or if member of the
Civic club is notified, boy scout will
call for the donation. The date of the
sale will be announced later.
This action was decided at the reg
ular meeting at the home of Mrs. F
E. Rathbun, Tuesday afternoon. Pic
lures of the seedlings of the famous
Washington Elm tree were shown and
Mrs. Frederick Thayer read the edi-
torial appearing in last weeks Repub-

Christmas Savings checks to the
amount of more than $4,000 were
mailed on Wednesday evening, No

be a great boon, not only to local
merchants, but to other citizens as
well.
The two local banks have an

According to State Police Officer
George J. Miller, who with State Of
ficer B. J. Nolan, investigated the ac-
cident, the car had been running at
high rate of speed and when it round
ed a curve, Roy Rembold, who was
driving, apparently lost control. The
car, which was practically demolished,
took the curve wide, left the road and
crashed into tree. The men were re-
turning to their home from Pittsburgh

ing near Eglon, and well known in
Oakland. He was also brother-in-
law of Congressman Samuel A. Ken

ONLY TWENTY-ONE DAYS
TO SHOP FOR CHRISTMAS
Stores Being Stocked with Goods
and Decorated for Holidays

With but twenty-one shopping
days remaining until Christmas citi-
zens of Garrett county have already
begun their holiday buying and local
merchants are optimistic of a fairly
good business between now and mid
night, December "a.
Most of the stores have received
their Christmas merchandise and are
it prominently. A few
windows are already decorated and
others will be trimmed within few
days, giving the towns of the county
a holiday atmosphere. Oakland
streets will probably be lighted again
this year with curb Christmas trees.
Practically everything in Christ
mas goods may be purchased in Oak
land this year. Several stores will
have a large line of toys and novel
ties and other Christmas items.
1t was stated that more useful
presents have been given during the
past few years and that it was ex-
pected this custom would prevail
this Christmas, on account OF the
fact that people are being more care
full. with their money than has been
the case for a number of years past.

Election Bet is Paid

An election bet has been paid; the
peanut has been holled.
Tuesday evening, Harold Yutzy, of
near town, rolled a peanut by his
nose from in front of The Republican
Office on Second street to the Mary
land Theatre on Third street, a ris-
tance of two blocks, and all because
President Hoover failed to carry
states on November 8.
The job was not as strenuous as it
would seem. The peanut had a thin
copper wire through it for an axle.
Threads were attached to each end of
the axle and another thread was fas-
tened to Yutzy's nose by adhesive
tape. By pulling gently the peanut
rolled along in most satisfactory
manner.

FULL FORCE OF HUNTERS
EXPECTING TO SEEK DEER
Open Season in Garrett County
is From December | to 3

A large percentage of those who
have obtained hunting licenses are
expected to scour the forests and
fields today, tomorrow, and Satur-
day in quest of one of the fleetest of
animals, the deer.
The law states that a male deer
with two or more points to one
antler may be killed in Garrett coun-
ty December l to 3, inclusive, and as
a general rule, these three days are
busy ones for the hunters, almost as
dangerous, too, for the hunters, as
for the deer.
In order to insure safety hunters
place red patches of cloth on their
hats and coats, and this custom has
been effective in the county during
the past few years, as no casualties
have been reported.
Every person killing deer shall
report it to the State Game Warden
within twenty-four hours, according
to the law, giving name, address,
hunters license number, county and
location where deer was killed.
1t is unlawful to use any trap,
snare, net, derrick, pitfall, artificial
light, battery or other contrivance or
device for hunting or killing deer.
About twenty-five were reported
killed in Garrett county last year.
Garrett, Allegany and Washing
ton counties are the only three coun-
ties having an open season on deer.
The open season in Allegany and
Washington is from December l to
Is.

KITZMILLER BOOTERS ARE
DEFEATED BY BRUCE HIGH
Seven Field Goals and One Pen
atty Kick Scored by Allegany

Kitzmiler high schools soccer team
after winning the Garrett county
championship, was outclassed at Lo-
naconing on Tuesday afternoon when
they were defeated by Bruce high of
Westernport in the first elimination
games for the State championship.
Bruce high scored Is points against
the Garrett county aggregation and
was the 18th win in row for an AL
1egany county soccer team, and the
sixth time that Kitzmiller has been
eliminated in the opening contest.
The Westernport goalkeeper ham
died only three chances at the up
rights during the sixty minute con-
test. In the initial half the Western
port eleven succeeded in making four
field goals to lead 8 to 0. Three more
goals and one penalty kick were reg
istered in the last half.
Kitzmiller players included Sow
sers, Rittr, Vauken, Vodopivec, Nal
ly,. Strah, Walakus, Cough, Mosser,
Craver and Strachan. Mcintyre sub
.stituted for Sewers, and Joe Erwin,
of the Playground Athletic League
of Baltimore, refereed the contest.
Bruce Highs next game in the
State tourney is scheduled for We'd
nesday, December Z.
Central High schools fieldball
