great men in our history we will find
that it was this urge which brought
them their greatness.
Our Revolutionary leaders of earlier
days established claim to greatness
not only because faith in a cause bore
them up through several years of mil
itary struggle, but because beyond
that struggle they saw nation under
whose institutions liberty, order and
individual opportunity could be en-
joyed by millions and finally brought
it into being. One of the leaders who
rendered invaluable service to the
cause of independence was Thomas
Payne. But because he was only
destroyer he passed from the stage of
action reviling Washington, prefer
ring the liberalism of the commune
to the liberty of the republic, and pre-
dieting that the new nation would be-
come a despotism. If it had depended
upon mere revolutionaries like Payne,
however brilliant, to make our strug-
gle for independence blessing rather
than curse, that end would not have
been achieved.
Today the doubters, the skeptics, the
scoffers, the destroyers and expert
mentors fill the air in our land with
their attacks on all existing faiths,
ideals and institutions "All is antique
that existed, new order is being
built, the old order must CO." is their
cry. They have had not faith them
selves, playing the part of mere house
wreckers of civilization.
They would tear out the founda-
tons of society, built through long
and arduous and thoughtful effort.
These political libertarians would
make of this republic, with its glori-
Gus record of service to humanity
without parallel in history, an tex
pertinent station" for the trying out
of social theories most of which, so
lar from Delng new zeal, nave
been often tried, and then rejected in
the past; and which are now being
tried again in vast theatre in Eu-
rope and Asia, with what result? That
despotism, poverty and barrenness of
existence cover that position of the
earth upon which this deadly blight
has fallen There is the worlds horri-
BILE example of the effect upon the ma
ton and upon the individual of set
ting up ones anarchic eye against all
the lessons and admonitions of human
history, and attempting to make
new heaven and earth by destroying
existing institutions.

THEN AND NOW

In a recent speech in Cleveland, o.,
Senator Dickinson, of Iowa, said:
"a year ago, if 1 had 500 in gold
in my pocket, was a law-abiding citi-
zen; if 1 perchance had pint of
whiskey, was a criminal. Today, if
! have the whiskey, l am Iaw-abid-
ing citizen; but if l have the gold 1
am criminal violating the law"
The statement is quaint enough to
be worth repeating and it is undoubt-
eddy as true as it is quaint. 1t only
goes to show that we are living in a
time of great and rapid changes. If
you still don't believe this, turn to the
Democratic national platform of 1882
and read its pledges on sound money,
the tariff and economy in government.
Yes, we sure are living in a time of
great changes. Precedents are being
broken; so are some political prom
Uses.

FOR STATE SENATOR

To the Voters of Garrett County,
From 1910 to 1922, a period OF
twelve years, the people of Garrett
county placed their confidence in me
by electing me as their representative
in the Senate of Maryland.
During my term of office much i'm
portant legislation affecting Garrett
county, as well as the State of Mary
land, was enacted. The obligations
resting upon me in that regard were
discharged honestly, conscientiously
faithfully and fearlessly.
At the request of many of my
friends and citizens of Garrett county
have decided, after due considera-
ton, to again become candidate for
that important office on the Republican
ticket, subject to the primaries.
With deep appreciation for the con-
fidence heretofore reposed in me and
with assurance of faithful and con-
scientious discharge of duty, if again
elected, I have the honor to remain,
with great respect,
Yours very truly,
HARVEY j. SPEICHER.

SCHOOLS VS.. JAILS

According to an editorial in The
Rotarian Magazine, education in the
United States is facing crisis, this
being revealed by a long volume of
dismal figures compiled at Washing
ton"
The fact seems to be this year a
hundred thousand boys and girls are
denied a public school education, be-
cause schools failed to open last fall
"Other thousands" says The Ro-
tartan Magazine, care not in the class
room for lack of adequate food and
clothing-or because their schools
have closed"
Teaching stats have been cut Fiji
ty-fve thousand fewer teachers are
employed today than two years ago,
leaving to reduced stats the instruc-
ton of additional pupils.
"A money grant from the Emergen-
cy Relief Administration to some
states is helping them out and, it is
expected, will soon be the means of
putting teachers back to work. Some
aid, too, is being given for the con-
struction of new school buildings.
Some communities are working to-
gether with willingness to surmount
the difficulties. New England, for ex-
ample. Relative to this, the Rotarian
Magazine says:
New England, for example, has
been hit hard by the depression, yet
it is maintaining it's educational pro-
gram with less curtailment than other
sections. Perhaps this is due to the
lingering traditions of pioneers who
started schools almost before they
built their homes. Or perhaps it is
hard-headed Yankee logic that refuses
penny economies today that must be
paid for in pounds tomorrow, logic
that takes account of the fact that
it costs less than a hundred dollars
year to keep a child in school, but
three hundred dollars to maintain a
social misfit in a reform institution or
jail"

THE FORGOTTEN MAN

The PWA and the CWA and other
terms of federal relief have in turn
entered the field and the man who was
down and out is probably in better
position now than he has been for
years. The man with plenty of money
of course, is sitting pretty now as al
ways. The man in between, the man
who owns and operates his own farm
or a small business, the man who pays
his taxes when they are due and tries
to educate his children, the man who
has been working hard to keep his
credit good by paying and buying
only what he can pay for, that man is
the Forgotten Man in the present
scheme of things.
Take the farmer on the farm of his
own, for example. Relief has been
provided for those who do not pay
their obligations, but he pays his
when due even if he does not buy coal
for the winter. The NRA raises the
price on many things he has to buy
but he has to sell his butterfat at the
lowest price in years and his hogs for
less than the cost of feed put into
Them in 80 days. His income is get
ting smaller every day. His neighbor
who rents farm can get on the CWA
job at As cents an hour, but he cannot
because he is not on the relief rolls.

STATE SLOWLY ACQUIRING
MORE LAND FOR FORESTS

Income from sales of fuewood, mine
props, and other forest products is
permitting gradual acquisition of
property for State forests, but the
1888 increase in acreage declined be-
low that of former years, according to
the monthly Forestry News Letter."
Four tracts were acquired, totaling
814 acres.
The largest addition was made to
the Green Ridge forest, Allegany
county, of 72 acres purchased from
Mrs. Q. E. Potts, Little Orleans, and
$40 acres purchased from Mrs. Mar
garet G. Price, Bedford Valley, Pa.
In Garrett county 400 acres were
added to the Potomac State forest in
property purchased from R. w. Sheck-
ellis, Swanton; and acres purchased
from Floyd Broadwater, were added to
the Savage River forest. This
brought the total acreage in State for
ests to 5O,O57 acres at the close of
1888.
The last large acquired acquisition
of State Forest holdings was made in
June, 1882, when nearly $4,000 acres
were purchased in the Green Ridge
State Forest from the Allegany Or
chard Company and H. A. Carpenter
of Hyndman, Pa. Other important
purchases in 1882 consisted of TAO
acres from Frank E. Hudson, in Wor-
cester county, creating the Pocomoke
State Forest, and 200 acres in Charles
county, from Walter J. Mitchell and
the j. E. Miles heirs, making i'm
portant additions to the Cedarville
and Doncaster State Forests. Small
additional tracts amounting to 237
acres, added to the Savage River
State Forest in Garrett county,
brought the total purchases in 1882 to
nearly $4,000 acres. These purchases
were largely made from Assoc bond
issue authorized by the General As
sembly for issuance in February, 1882.
In 1881, the purchase of 2,406 acres
in three tracts from Mrs. Queen E..
Potts, James B. Price, and Mrs. Mary
George, in Allegany county, estab-
lished the Green Ridge State Forest.
In Garrett county an addition was al
so made to the Swallow Falls State
Forest consisting of 500 acres, pur-
chased from William R. Offutt of Oak
land, and 43 acrese were purchased
from Elizabeth R. P. Hubbard for the
Potomac State Forest. The purchases
for 1881 totaled 3,018 acres.
Maryland's objective of acquiring
100000 acres of State Forests is one
quarter attained, according to the
News Letter.

IN DAYS OF OLD
FORTY YEARS AGO

An effort was being made to erect
church at Crellin.
Snow to the depth of several inches
fell in Oakland. Owing to drifts the
star route from Oakland to the north
did not have mail.
The B. and o. was having electric
lights placed in the station.
The Preston Lumber and Goa
company mills at Crellin were under
going extensive repairs, new machin-
cry being placed there doubling the
capacity.
Members of the Oakland Independ-
ent band were arranging concert to
be given in Offutt's hall.
A fight was on in the legislature to
have the State school tax distributed
fairly instead of doing it according to
the population of each county, as Gar
rett county was getting the small
portion on account of its large acreage
and small population.
The contract was closed calling for
the Oakland electric company to light
the grounds and auditorium at the
Park.
The ice harvest was interrupted by
the heavy fall of snow.
The property of the Franklin Con-
solidated Coal Company, known as the
Franklin and Phoenix coal mines, sit
uated in Garrett and Allegany coun-
ties, was sold at auction to Henry G..
and Thomas B. Davis for $4,000. The
property included about 1851 acres
of coal and coal rights. B. S. Ran
dolph, mining engineer, placed the
value of the property at $4,000.
TWENTY YEARS AGO
Flagman Albert Beck, Keyser, was
struck on the head by the overhead
bridge at Oakland and died a few
hours after. George Wiseman, ma
tive of Oakland, was killed on the
Western Maryland when struck by a
train.
Alpheus Hinebaugh, one of the old
est residents of Oakland, was in a
serious condition from a stroke of
paralysis.
Norman R. Sanner was in charge
of organizing Sons of Veterans
organization here.
Examinations for postmasterships
in IA postoffices in Garrett county
were to be held, with those in charge
saying that the highest man in the
examination would get the job.
The thermometer was well up in
the 7O's.
An anti-cigarette bill we introduced
in the Senate, making it a INSIDE
meanor for any person to furnish a
minor by gift or sale any cigarette or
cigarette paper. Any minor caught
with such was required to give any
information desired by authorities as
to where he had obtained it.

HOUSE-WRECKERS OF CIVIL
LIZATION .~ys

Men of faith have been responsible
for all progress that humanity has
made since the dawn of civilization.
Skeptics and doubters with destruc-
tive ideas have, it is true, sometimes
cleared the pathway with more rapid,
but only temporary" progress, but
except that men who beliyed, had fol-
lowed them, their work would have
failed in advance.
1t is one thing to destroy faith and
the ideals of an individual and nat
ton; it is quite another to put some
thing better in it's place-"all is not
gold that glitters." The man who sets
out to destroy a faith of an institu-
ton that exists should be one who is
doubly sure that he has something
better to put in it's place. He should
not be an ''eXperimenter' and "theor-
ist." A man without faith in some
thing is a man without hope; and a
man without hope is a man of ulti-
mate failure.
What was it that brought Lincoln
from obscurity to undying fame, and
lifted him out of himself in his Get
tysburg address and his second inau-
gural? Only faith in a cause which
possessed every fiber Of his being.
He was determined to preserve the
Union at all costs and to free hu-
mainly in whole by doing it. If we

What's What
Behind dNews
In Capital
White House Showing
Firmer Attitude in
Matter of Critics.
BY PAUL MALLON.

TIME White House Is beginning
to show inner signs Of get
ting just a little hard-boiled
Il about things in general.
There Is less and less tend
ency toward conciliation and COM
promise and a noticeable trend to-
ward doing what 1t pleases and let
ting its critics 60 hang.
No important effort has been made
to appease objections to the N. r. A.,
A. A. A., etc. A rather strong hand
has been taken In the congressional
program (stock market, securities,
housing and Labor BoarO. Likewise,
in connection with the Tugwell NOM
nation, some Democratic Senators
heard that, if they could not see their
way clear to support Prof. Tugwell,
they would hear about 1t later.
Most Presidents get around to
this point after the first year. They
find they cannot please every one,
or epen conduct their business in
an open tOdy. Too many politicians
take unfair advantage OF them.
Too many so-caIled friends double
cross them.
Anything they do will be criticized
so they might as well do what they
want. That is probably the way they
figure 1t out.
