MAKING ARSON UNPROF1T
ABLE

The recent three and a half years OF
depression are little different from
previous years of business inactivity
in their effect on human emotions,
good or bad. Those who always seek
to take advantage of the misfortunes
of others come to the front during
such times. Nowhere is this more
strikingly illustrated than in the I'M
usually large number of suspicious
fires which occur. AS soon as hard
times Cypress the country, many peo-
pie whose moral fibre is weak, yield
to the temptation to "sell out to the
insurance companies"
Ordinarily, fire losses are paid i'm
mediately after proof of loss. Dur
ing depressions, however, it is eviden
that this prompt payment actually en-
courages arson and fraud and is thus
contrary to the public interest. In
view of this situation, the National
Board of Fire Underwriters has rec
commended Withholding payment Of
losses on all claims in excess of 500
for period of sixty days after proof
of loss, unless otherwise provided by
the printed conditions of the policy or
by statute, with exception made to
cover the recent California disaster.
This action will make it more diff
cult for the arsonist to profit by a
prompt payment and a quick getaway
after his crime, and it will work no
disadvantage to the honest claimant.
On the other hand it will aid in crime
detection and promote public safety.

IN DAYS OF OLD
FORTY YEARS AGO

Maple sugar was selling in the
stores of Oakland at seven cents per
pound.
Thieves entered the confectionery
and cigar store of c. ]. Newman in
Oakland and robbed it of considerable
candy, fruit and tobacco. Storehouses
of julius Scherr and w. S. Lantz, at
Eglon, were also robbed of merchan-
disc.
Heavy rains checked forest fires
which had been ranging for some
days in the mountains of the county.
Fish Commissioner R. T. Browning
received and placed in Deep Creek
$4,000 trout.
A new store building for Ashby
Brothers at Crellin was nearing COM
pletion.
Weber and Sons, florists, had about
10000 square feet of ground beneath
glass and were still crowded for room
in their hothouses.
Easter Sunday of 1898 was such as
poets dream of: the weather being
ideal and Easter bonnets plentiful.
A gust of wind carried a window
out of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
way station and landed it on the roof
of the building.
Improvements were being made at
the electric light station, including
the erection of a water tank.
William Groves was injured when
he fell from a load of hay.
TWENTY YEARS AGO
The West Virginia Tuberculosis
sanitarium was opened at Hopemont
when a receiving building and two
cottages were completed.
The taxable basis of Garrett county
was fixed at $11, 990,830.

Unlawful to Permit Dogs to Rur
at Large

The attention of the public has been
called to the law relative to dogs run
ming at large pursuing game. A
mother rabbit does not have a chance
to escape pursuing dogs, it was
pointed out, and keeping under leash
or confined will save much game
which will assure an adequate supply
at the next hunting season.
Paragraph F of Section 20 of
Article SO provides it to be unlawful
for any person to allow any dogs be-
longing to them to run at large on
other property than that owned or
tenanted by them between March /
and September l, and pursue game or
destroy eggs or nests. The penalty
for violation is not less than $25, nor
more than 500 and costs for each
offense, and SIS additional for each
game bird or animal caught OF killed
illegally.
Mayor Grover Stemple, of Oakland,
also called the attention of the citi-
zens to the town ordinance against
dogs running at large. He stated the
ordinance would be strictly enforced.

A CHANGE OF VIEW

Politics is the profession of quick
changes in methods and conduct.
Sometimes the change is so sudden
and inconsistent that it would be
amusing if conditions were not so
serious.
During the four years of President
Hoover's administration there was
consistent batting of the administra-
ton from the opposition. The Demo-
cratic National Committee conducted
campaign of poison gas against the
chief executive that was unique but
complete and effective. This was re-
garded by the opposition to the admin
istration as smart politics. Whether
it was smart or not it was at least
effective, although of course nobody
will ever know how much of President
Hoover's defeat for reelection was
dut to the efforts of his Democratic
opponents and how much to the de-
preston.
But now the shoe is on the other
foot, so to speak. The Democrats are
in the saddle and there is a Demo-
cratic President in the White House.
The Democratic leaders in the House
and Senate who enjoyed so much fir
ing their verbal stink bombs at Presi-
dent Hoover have now become the

Former Principal at Accident
SuccumbS at Emmitsburg

Prof. Eugene S. Burroughs, 81, of
the Department of Education, Mount
st. Mary's College, Emmitsburg, died
early Saturday after an illness of four
weeks. Death was due to complica-
lions.
He was educated at Charlotte Hall
school and was a teacher in the pub
lie schools of Garrett and Howard
counties, being principal at Accident
High school from September, 1922,
until June, 1925. During this time,
however, Mr.. Burroughs and his fam
lily lived at Oakland, Mrs. Burroughs
being an instructor in the Oakland
High school for two terms, 1924
and 1924-25.
He had been at Emmitsburg for
eight years. He had practically COM
pleted his thesis for his doctors de-
gree, which he had hoped to obtain
this June.
Professor Burroughs is survived by
his widow, and by four sons, J. Armi-
stead Burroughs, of Washington;
Eugene S., Jr., and Dwight Bur-
roughs, Patuxtent; Joseph Burroughs,
Emmitsburg, and a daughter, Miss
Frances Burroughs, Belair. He also

du Bots, of Washington. He was an

munity groups in cooperation with

ing up their singers and planning

Mt. Storm Jubilee Planned
Plans are being laid early this year
for the 1888 Pioneer Jubilee to be
held at Mt. Storm, w. Va, on route
so. On Saturday, April l, meetings
were held in Petersburg and Mt.
Storm and committees were named
to take charge. The Pioneer Day will
be held on Saturday, July 29. Miss
Huff will meet with committees and
other workers at the community
house, Mt. Storm, on Friday, April

doughty champions of defending the
sanctity of the White House. There
must be no partianship, they say.
Conditions are too serious for that.
The administration program must be
swallowed without batting an eye. The
old days of accepting things without
dotting an 81" or crossing 1T" have
come back to US again-for the first
time since the Wilson administration
when the war crisis was the basis of
non-political bipartisan support.
There is of course much in what the
Democratic leaders have to say to the
effect that times are too serious for
mere partisanship on fundamental is
sues. The remarkable thing, however,
is the way in which they have reversed
their views on the subject since March
4. What they regarded as good sport
before that date has now become
anathema.
Of course politics is a game in
dulged in by the statesmen of both
political parties. President Hoover got
support from constructive Democrats
during his efforts to halt depression
just as President Roosevelt has been
getting constructive support from Re-
publican sources.
The duty of Republican leadership
is now plain. 1t is to support construc-
tive measures of the administration
and to fight to defeat unsound meas
ures, offering sane and reasonable
substitutes for these. Standing by
the President in time of economic
stress is laudable and proper but can
not go to the length of shutting ones
ewes to measures which do not deserve
support, if any of these should hap
pen to be offered.
In the meantime there is something
almost laughable in the way that GER
tain Democratic leaders have sudden
discovered, since March 4, that it is
unpatriotic and reprehensible to criti-
cize any expressed thought or action
Of the President.

FOUR STEPS OUTLINED AT
MEETING OF TABLELANDS
To EncOurageSeries of Festivals
Sponsored by Local Groups

Four definite steps for the Ale
gheny Tableland association were out
lined at the meetings held last Thurs
day afternoon and evening in King
wood, w. Va, when the governing
board met and a public banquet was
held.
They were the encouragement of
wide series of Tableland festivals to
be held throughout the area and
sponsored by local groups; the plan
of one large festival in the Table
land to be held under the direct aus
pices of the Governing Board which
shall serve as roundup for the pro.
gram and talent developed through
community festivals the planning of a
Tableland Fair to be held in Pitts
burgh in the fall by meeting with the
Tableland council of the Pittsburgh
Chamber of Commerce; and the ap.
pointment of a committee for the de-
velopment of Tableland brand de-
sign.
Members of the governing board
present at Kingwood included j. Fred
Reed, Kingwood; Cheston Browning,
Oakland; E. NJ. Hansel, J. B. Watson
Bushrod Grimes, P. C. Rouser, W. F.
Lipscomb, John S. Miller, and l. S.
Middaugh, director of Mt. Lake Insti-
tute. A delegation from Pittsburgh
headed by H. w. Correll, of the Table
land council, brought greetings and
the expression of desire to assist in
all the Tableland festivals. Approx
mately 1876 delegates representing Is
or more communities, were present
for the evening dinner meeting.
Institute Directors Meet
Twelve members of the Mt. Lake
Institute board met for the annual
session on Monday and 1. S. Middaugh
was reelected director; W. B. Brock,
secretary; and o. T. eraser, treasurer.
Plans were discussed for financing
and arranging program for 1888.
There are already more programs
available for the Sunday afternoons
than the season will permit, according
to Mr.. Middaugh, and tableland COM
munity units, civic clubs, bands,
choirs, extension and religious orga-
nizations are urged to plan their
participation early and arrange with
Mr.. Middaugh for their dates and
places on the program.

WHERE WILL IT. BE?-

Last week a notice came to The Re-
publican Office concerning the annual
Garrett county field and track meet,
stating it would be held this year on
June 1, at either Grantsville, or Oak
land. ~
In wondering why the meet might
not be held at Oakland as usual, or
at Mt. Lake Park, it was discovered
that Grantsville had an ample play
ground and it's citizens were urging
that it come there. At Oakland, with
three PLACES where it might be held,
there was no interest in the affair.
At one available place, they want to
charge at least $25. At another place,
Washington Spring Park, those in
charge are not enthusiastic, believing
that its beauty will be greatly
lessened.
At the other place, Mt. Lake Park,
where the meet was held last year,
the automobile traffic and great
amount of dust are not favorable to-
ward having a successful meet.
Oakland, the county seat, is the
proper place to hold the countrywide
meet. Other schools in the extreme
sections of the county could reach
here without too great mileage. 1t
is more thickly populated and more
schools in this section enter their
students.
But there should be little inter-
est shown. What Oakland needs is
a playground.
