CHANGING THE COVENANT

More and more, American public
opinion is coming to realize what
service was performed by the famous
minority of "irreconcilables" in the
Senate when they prevented the Unit
ed States from joining the League of
Nations at the behest of President
Wilson. At the time they were Bit
terly reviled as stupid nationalist
who, although unable to grasp the
Presidents vision, were able to block
it and because of personal animosity
or party prejudice thwarted the will
of the majority. But later events,
particularly those of the last year,
have indicated their votes in a re-
markable fashion.
In the case of the fight over the
covenant of the League of Nations in
the Senate, distance may not lend en-
chantment to the view. The fight was
too bitter for that. But it does lend
clarity. Today it is possible for any
reasonable person to see what the
dust of battle obscured thirteen years
ago, that men on each side were fight
ing under the banners of high prin-
ciple. In particular, it is evident that
among the. irreconcilables were men
who detected the flaw in the covenant
that has now cracked Wilson's con-
ception of the League from end to
end. They saw that: peace can not
be preserved by the threat of war, the
theory that he called the "heart of
the covenant" japan has proved it.

HE SAW THE POINT

Everything else, js coming down,
Mr.. Editor, and we think you should
reduce the subscription price of The
Republican and fall in line with the
Others"
That was the comment made by a
farmer-subscriber who called at The
Republican Office the other day to re-
new his subscription. The fact that
this suggestion has not been heard
oftener indicates. that subscribers to
The Republican feel that they are
getting their moneys worth when
they pay less than three cents per
week for the visits of this compendium
of community, school, church, farm,
home and store news.
Here is our answer to the badly
debated farmer-subscriber, with whom
we sympathize deeply:
"Mr. Subscriber, a dozen or fifteen
years ago you were paying $3.50 a
year for The Republican. Prices on
everything else at that time started
going up. You had to pay more for
a suit of clothes. You had to pay a
higher rent. You had to pay more
for an acre of land. Your shoes cost
you double the old price. You had to
pay almost double wages for your
help. In fact, everything you bought
went up in price. But you continued
to pay only $1.50 a year for The Re-
publican.
"Now, if The Republican had
jumped it's price when everything was
going up, we surely ought to reduce it
when things are going down. But in a
period of inflated prices The Repub-
1ican did not initiate it's subscription
rate but kept it at the old price of
$1.50 per year. Now, in this period of
debating prices, we have nothing to
debate"

THE MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETYS CORNER
''The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever

From 1862 until the Civil War
ended the Maryland Bible Society con-
tinued its program of distribution to
Maryland soldiers in both armies. Not
that others were denied, but a genu-
inc effort was made to assure every
son of this State a copy of the Scrip
lures, whether he wore the blue or
the gray.
In 1862, despite the economic up
heaval caused by the war, we learn
that the Bible House was free from
debt and that auxiliaries continued
to work. Among these auxiliaries was
the Female Bible Society of Princess
Anne, Maryland, which has had con-
tinuous active existence for 104 years.
We shall have more to say about this
remarkable organization in a later
article.
Among the soldiers in the year 1862
1854 volumes were distributed. YES
sells of the navy had received books.
In camp and hospital volumes were
distributed among both the invalid
and active troops. Doubtless much
comfort and blessing came to the con-
valescents, as we'll as the men on ac-
tive duty. The writer has heard many
touching stories resulting from this
form of missionary work to men under
arms. There are instances on record
where the little Testament has not
only been the means of saving the
soul, but also of saving the soldiers
life as it rested over his heart, by re-
sisting a partly spent ball.
The general condition of the Society
remained prosperous and healthy. At
the close of the civil strife it was
found that the difficulties of that try
ing period had only served as an in
centive to greater endeavors. The ut
most harmony pervaded the board, in
all it's operations. There had not
been single clash of thought or feel

WHAT NEW TAXES MEAN

A recent Associated Press dispatch
from Washington gave an interesting
insight into what the new revenue
bill will mean to the average citizen of
the country.
A married business man with one
child, having a net income of $4,000,
will pay an income tax to the Federal
Government of 1924 as against $23.69
in the past. If he buys $500 auto
mobile he will have to pay new tax
of $18, plus 60 cents for taxes on
tires, etc. If he uses 700 gallons of
gasoline during the year and 80 gal
Ions of lubricating oil, he will pay a
tax of $500, in addition to state gas
and oil taxes. If his wife gets 5000
fur coat the tax will be 500.
If he makes home brew he will pay
about So in taxes on malt. His wife's
perfumes, powder, etc., will cost an
other So. If he buys $75 radio and
pays 500 for an electric refrigera-
tor, the taxes will be $3.75 and SIS, re-
spectively. He will pay increased
taxes on cameras, electricity, matches,
the telephone and a hundred other
commodities and services. If he spends
So week for shows and movies, the
Treasury will get $40 from him by
the end of the year.
His total direct taxes will be about
$40, as against about STA under the
old rates-an increase of 1926.

IN DAYS OF OLD
FORTY YEARS AGO

The Garrett County Bank, postoffice
and other public buildings were closed
on July 4. Residences of citizens were
decorated with flags and bunting and
a gala day was evident. Members of
the Lutheran church held festival
in Hamill and Titles Hall and the
Oakland Catholic Benevolent Legion
had dance and picnic at Kilbourne's
Grove in the east end of town where
Browning's orchestra furnished the
music. There was a display of fire
works and also a grand ball at the
Oakland Hotel. A ball was given by
the Oakland Cornet band at Offutt's
Hall during the evening.
The July term of the Circuit Court
was in session. The docket contained
fifty-four cases for trial and there
were thirteen appeals. 1t is worthy
of note to state that the court docket
was heavier in those days than in
the present time.
In the German Letter: The Fourth
of July has come and gone, which
brought quite number to our town
and ere long a fight was precipitated
with a beer bottle as weapon which
lasted nearly half an hour. Several
more occurred during the day and in
the evening there were many persons
with black eyes, mutilated forms and
blasted names.
In the Altamont Letter: Every
thing passed off smoothly until late in
the afternoon when some three or
four heather, filled up on fighting
whiskey, tried to create some dis
turbance.

At the height of a severe storm
two fires were started in Oakland, one
at the variety store of George M. Ma
son and the other at the electric light
plant. At the latter no damage re-
suited. At the Mason store the blaze
was communicated to a quantity of
fireworks. Lightning was also con-
veyed into the First National Bank
Building, setting the ceiling of the
postoffice on fire but doing practically
no damage.
The death of Capt. John M. Jarboe,
late postmaster, was noted.
Following the visit of committee
from the Oakland Civic Club and the
protests of a number of residents of
Oakland, the County Commissioners
in session assembled decided not to
erect a stable on the Court House
square which was to have been used
by the Sheriff.
Engineers began a survey of the
National Pike for completion of i'm

PICKETT R|D|CULES
BEER TAX PARADE
Suggests to Walker That
Brewers and DistiIIers
Lead Procession.

Mayor James j. Walkers proposal
for beer for taxation" parade on May
IL has drawn an open letter" from
Deets Pickett, research secretary of the
Methodist Board of Temperance, con-
tanning suggestions as to who should
be included in the march.
Have the brewers and distillers lead
your parade" Pickett wrote the New
York mayor last night. g" 1t might
be well to have them particularly
identified by large diamond studs in
their shirts. Their limousines will make
o great show.
Next should come the saloonkeep-
ers, or, since, I believe, that is to be a
forbidden word, the proprietors of the
liquor stores which are to retail the
beer. Following the saloonkeepers
should be the machine politicians"
Pickett suggested that "bootleggers
and speakeasy proprietors who would
find it simple to get their supplies from
the places of licensed sale" might come
In line then.
Next" he wrote. 'let me suggest
that you have the poor devils who drink
the stuff .
Then, just as touch of sentiment
and not because they have any partic-
ular right in the parade, suppose you
let the wives and children OF these
drunkards tag along behind. I know
they will be. ragged, wearing broken
shoes and their faces will be thin and
worn, but after all they deserve some
consideration because it is the money
which comes to them under prohibition
which the drunkard will spend to the
saloonkeeper and which the saloon
keeper will contribute through the
brewer and distiller to the Government.
You might have float in this part
of the parade. 1t should be a washtub.
It's the women bending over the wash
tub who are the great support of the
liquor business, legal and Illegal"
