Winter is again upon us &C
companied by icy roads and in
Vulnerable accidents. Two
weeks have gone by since this
condition became acute. Driv-
ers of automobiles have been
compelled to slow down to
twenty or twenty-five miles an
hour and even at this speed run
chances of sliding off the road.
So far no sand has been spread
on icy pavements and the slid
ing into the ditch or into pass
ing cars goes on.

nothing to buy. If a citizen wishes to
know the news he purchases six page
newspaper and reads what the govern
ment determines that he should read.
If the Russian wishes to buy anything,
he stands in line and waits. There are
no clubs and little entertainment. There
are only few thousand automobiles
in Russia, so no one goes joy riding.
The Russian eats and wears what he is
told to or what he can get. He can go
to church but the children will tell him
when he gets home he is fool. There
is no God. The government says so
The Russian always carries his pass
port. Without it he cannot enter a
public building or buy a railroad ticket
A citizen keeps his mouth shut, fol-
the secret police is everywhere. When
he objects he is told to keep his mouth
shut.

Eveleth News-The people of this
town who are wondering what the news
papers will print after election is over
and the spotlight turns from political
news are not familiar with the fact
that the great problem of the average
editor is what not to print.
Always there is much more news"
than any newspaper can present its
readers. The business of the editor is
to select and pass on. His judgment
may be wonderful, or it may he poor.
Nevertheless, what his readers see de-
ponds upon his judgment as to what to
eliminate
After the election the press will turn
back to the same things that occurred
before. There will be no dearth of
news. There has been no scarcity of
news events other than election matters.
Merely because of the popular interest
in the recent election the majority of
newspaper editors have elected to pre-
sent political news to the exclusion of
some other events, which, in normal
times would have received greater
notice.

We were under the impress
sion that now election is over,
allowing crews to get back
to work after their campaign
tours and prediction holidays,
that something might be done
to preclude the unenviable re-
cord made last winter. Every
one seems to be talking about
everything and no one seems to
be doing anything about it.
The tragic deaths of DIR. j. G.
Mayo and Mrs. Abe Kapplin
and the serious injuries of sew
eral others are traceable to icy
roads. The prominence of those
killed and their we'll known
cautious driving, strike home
the facts that something should
be done. What? is the ques-
ton.

Window Citizen-After a 1900 mile
drive that took us through five states
we are convinced that while Minnesota
may not have as great paved mileage
as some states, her highways are better
built, marked better, and are better in
every way than those in neighboring
states. Most of our paving is 20 feet
wide instead of Is feet, the hills are cut
down more, the curves are wider. Com
missioner Rabcock started the Mime
sofa road program right, and Commits
sioner ElSberg has not lowered the
standard. Our highways are something
of which we may we'll be proud.

Virginia Enterprise-The deer hunt
ing season in the far west seems to have
got off to an excellent start this year.
Thirty-Six deer hunters have been
killed, so far. Eighteen were shot by
other hunters, who managed to mis-
take a two-legged animal carrying a
gun and wearing a red cap for buck
deer 10 shot themselves by accident;
four got drowned in the heat of the
chase, and four just naturally got so
excited over it all that they fell dead.
This casualty list gives the sport of
deer hunting grim and hazardous as
pect which makes supposedly danger
GUS game such as football look like a
quiet afternoon at home with a solitaire
deck.
This is big country, but it is be-
ginning to look as if it had become too
small for promiscuous use of high
powered rifles. There are still some
great open spaces, but in many sections
the hunter finds it almost impossible
to get out of range of his fellow
hunters guns.

Deer River News-One wonders to
what degree the list of filthy lucre de-
termineS our policies of conservation.
An open season on deer will bring in
thousands in big game license money.
That will be more to spend-for what?
1t is the pay the state receives for des-
troying natural resources, a poor policy
in any program of conservation. Take
away this blood money and we might
get somewhere. But we shall get no
where so long as we place our deer on
the auction block and knock them down
for $3.25 per.

Carlton Vidette-Whenever the uni
versity wants to add another depart
ment to its studies they should start
something that will train young men
how to perform honestly and act in
diligently in conducting any public
Office. At the present time our schools
train men for lawyers, doctors, min
listers and such. But the only place a
man can learn to run a public Office is
to get elected into one. And many
times the cost of his gaining experience
runs into a lot of money from the tax
payers.

PUPILS OF FOUR SCHOOLS
REFUSE TO RIDE BUSES
Want Schools In Their COmmun-
tiles To Open For instruction

Pupils of four rural schools which
were closed this year are refusing to
attend at the school designated by
the County Board of Education, it was
learned yesterday. They are striking
for the reopening of their one-room
school houses.
1t was reported that pupils of the
Fort Hill, Meadow Mountain, Dry
Run and Walnut Bottom schools, in
Districts Nos. 1 and 4, near Swantor
and Bloomington, were refusing tc
attend the Black Hawk, Mt. Zion and
North Glade schools. Attendance al
the two latter schools has been far
below what was expected, and thus
far no inducement has succeeded ir
getting the strikers" to board bus
to attend at these places.
F. E. Rathbun, County Superinten.
dent of Schools, stated this morning
that the Board of Education was try
ing to work out a solution with the
County Commissioners, but that nc
money was available for the reopening
of the four schools. 1t was also stated
a few of the pupils were attending.
Meanwhile school continues and
the bell rings each morning. But there
are a number of pupils who are pay
ing no heed.

A Building Returns Home

A building has returned home-or
at least close home. The one-room,
one-story frame structure, recently
occupied by the late Eugene Baum
gartner, on Third street, was re-
moved yesterday and placed on the
vacant lot next to the c. & A. Gas
company's Office on Alder street. The
building was purchased by A. T. Mat
thews.
The building was first erected on a
spot about where the southeast cor
ner of the First National Bank build
ing now stands and was used as a
law Office by the late Gilmor S. Ham,
ill. Then it went to Second street
where Gonder's Drug store now is
located. From there it went to Rail
road street where it was used as a
barber shop and later as a confec-
tionery. Then it was moved to Third
street, and now it again rests on AL
der street, but across the street from
its original site.

Many Await OrthOpedic Clinic
Friday And Saturday

The approaching clinic for crippled
children and adults, which will be
held in the Court House, Oakland, on
Friday and Saturday, September q
and &c, holds promise to many pa
tients who have been in regular at
tendance at previous clinics and are
feeling the benefit of treatments re-
ceived.
The clinic will be under the direc-
ton of DR.. George E. Bennett, Balti-
more bone specialist, and head of de-
partment of Johns Hopkins Hospital!
He will be assisted by DR.. George
Eaton and Miss Mary E. Church, Sec
retary of the Maryland League for
Crippled Children, from Baltimore, To-
cal health authorities and local men,
bers of the Maryland League.
These clinics are held two eacn
year, free of charge. Some who have
attended the clinics in past years have
been given treatments, disqualification
and have had braces made for them,
all of which have improved their condi-
tion. Many of the patients were strick-
en- with infantile paralysis; some have
been unable to use their arms and
legs since birth. All receive some help
through attendance at these clinics
where DR.. Bennett thoroughly exam
ines the patients and recommends
what to do in each case.

FEDERAL BUDGET OFFICE
GIVES PROJECT APPROVAL
Savage River Dam For Western
Maryland Almost Certain, Ac-
cOrding To Federal Officials

The $1,6O0,0O0 Savage River dam
project in Garrett county has been ad-
vanced to the point where only small
amount of red tape must be cleared
away to start preliminary work, it
has been learned.
Earlier in the month an ALLEGATION
of $4,000 from WPA funds was ap-
proved with which to make surveys
borings and other tests of the proposed
work. This also has been approved by
the bureau of the budget, and the only
step now lacking is certification Of
the amount by the WPA director fol-
Maryland to the corps of army engi.
neers, which will carry out the prelim.
mary work.
The construction Of this dam ha:
been urged strongly by residents Of
Luke, Cumberland and other town!
in the Potomac River valley.
The three Maryland Congressmey
joined last year in urging an alloca.
tion Of funds to carry out the project
which, it was said, would aid in the
expansion of industrial activity il
that part of Maryland east of the
Savage River and the adjoining areas
of West Virginia.
The construction of the dam, it i;
contended, would directly benefit foul
big industries in the Cumberland Sec
ton, employing approximately $4,000
persons.
The Savage River dam project has
been recommended by the water pol.
luton section of the National Re.
sources Board and is held by army en-.
gineers toobe meritorious project.
AS soon as the allotment of funds is
certified to the chief of engineers Of
the army, actual work of making the
necessary surveys would probably
get under way, within ten days or two
weeks.

Two Stretches Of Highway To
Be Repaired In County

The State Roads Commission is
launching a statewide program of
road repair and improvement early
in October, which will include two
stretches of highway in Garrett coun-
ty.
Dirt shoulders besides improved
roads will be treated with asphalt,
calcium chloride or other materials
to bind the earth and keep if from
washing away.
Among the roads to be resurfaced
are nine tenths of a mile in Grants
vile; and the National Pike from
Keyser's Ridge to the Pennsylvania
State line, a distance of SO miles.
Advertisements asking for bids are

Geo. MARLEY AND SISTER REUNITED AFTER 78 YEARS:
WAS EFFECTED THRU CORRESPONDENCE IN ENGLAND

A Mrs. James Harris, living al
Stockton -on-Lees, England, saw the
article in the Englgish newspaper anc
wrote to Mr.. Marley asking about
his family and requesting a reply tc
her letter. This letter was received
at Deer Park on June 18, and was
printed in The Republican about three
months ago. Mrs. Harris is the daugh-
ter of Richardson Marley, found to be
brother of George Marley.
A granddaughter, Mrs. George
Comp, Deer Park, replied to the letter
of Mrs. Harris and has since been in
correspondence with her. Mrs. Harris
also wrote to cousin in Cleveland,
Ohio, sending her copy of the printed
article. In a second letter from Mrs.
Harris she told of a sister living in
Cleveland, Ohio, but did not give her
name. Mrs. Harris also wrote to an
other cousin, Mrs. J. J. Sweeting, at
Braddock, Pa, whose father was Ed
ward Marley, another brother.
Just a few days later letters came
from the sister, Mrs. Rebecca Cook,
who resides with her daughters in
Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio.
On Friday, September 18, just three
months from the date the first letter
was received, Mrs. Rebecca Cook came
to visit her brother, George Marley,
at Deer Park. With her were three of
her children, Mrs. J. w. Clark, Mrs.
Harry Luman, Cleveland, and Mrs. B.
W. Swisher, Columbus.
On Saturday, without knowing of
the presence of the Ohio relatives in
Deer Park, Mrs. j. ]. Sweeting and
daughters, Misses Elizabeth and Edith,
also arrived in Deer Park to see Mr..
Marley. 1t was a most unusual family
gathering.

Promise VS. Performance
OF ROOSEVELT ADMINISTRATION
PERFORMANCE

The Bankhead Cotton Act of
1884 imposed a penalty tax of 500
Of the market value of lint cotton, lev
led on each pound of cotton ginned in
excess of the farmers allotted amount.
Violation of the Act was punishable
by fine not to exceed $1,000 or by
Imprisonment not exceeding months,
or by both.
The Kerr Tobacco Act imposed
a tax ranging from $3.50 to 331s%
of the sales price of the tobacco which
a grower sold in excess of the allot-
ment made to him by the Secretary of
Agriculture. Punishments for viola
tions of the Act were similar to those
imposed by the Bankhead Cotton Act
with the additional provision that false
statements with respect to, or falsifica-
tion of tax documents were punisha-
BILE by a fine not exceeding $4,000 or
by Imprisonment not exceeding five
years, or both.
The Potato Control Act of
1885 provided for tax Of three-quar-
ters of one cent per pound las cents
per busheD for potatoes marketed in
excess of allotments prescribed by the
Secretary of Agriculture. In addition
to the usual penalties on the grower
for violation, the Act made the buyer
responsible for the purchase of only
those potatoes marketed in manner
fulfilling the requirements of the law.
Section 220 stated:
"Any person who knowingly sells, or
offers for sale, or knowingly offers to
buy, or buys, potatoes not packaged
as required by this title, or any person
who knowingly offers to buy, or buys,
potatoes to the packages of which are
not affixed or attached taX-exemption
stamps or tax stamps as required by
this title shall, upon conviction thereof,
be fined not more than $1,000. Any
person convicted of a second offense
under the provisions of this title may,
in addition to such fine, be imprisoned
for not more than one year."
Congress has no power to en-
force it's commands on the farm
er to the ends sought by taxing and
spending to purchase compliance. The
Constitution and the entire plan of
our Government negative any such
use of the power to tax and to spend
IS the Act undertakes to authorize"
(Supreme Court decision on AAA
January 6, 1936)
The Record shows that David j. Lewis
Representative in Congress from
this district and Democratic candi-
date for reelection, voted for these
laws in the House.

SAVE-A-LIFE INSPECTION
CAMPAIGN BEGINS OCT. !
Will Continue Through Entire
Month; Automobiles Must Be
Approved To Get 1897 Licenses
TO EXAMINE CARS FREE

Announcement to Maryland motor
lists that the ninth annual Save-a-Life
inspection campaign Of all motor We
hicles registered in the State would be
conducted from October 1 to October
81, was issued yesterday by Walter
r. Rudy, Commissioner of Motor We
hicles.
The inspection is a prerequisite to
the registration Of motor vehicles for
1887 and owners will be unable to OBJ
tain new license plates unless their
machines bear the official sticker GER
tifying the inspection has been made,
Mr.. Rudy asserted.
With the cooperation of all auto
mobile distributors service stations
general repair garages and other au-
tomobile shops in communities thru
out Maryland, about 1900 inspection
stations will be appointed where mo-
torists may have their machines ex-
amined free, the Commissioner said
Every automobile and truck in the
State must be inspected by mechanic
or service station, meeting the ap.
proval of the Commissioner appointed
for that purpose by him.
The salient points of examination
will be brakes, lights, horns, steering
mechanism, windshield wipers, mir
rors, license tags, windshields anc
bumper guards. The inspection of bum.
per guards will be made to see that
they do not obstruct the license plates
A great number of motor vehicle
owners are overlooking the fact thai
the law says nothing must obstruc
any part of the tags to prevent then
identity. These guards cover numbers
and make it difficult at times to dis.
tinguish them. Other defective parts
as mentioned above have caused many
serious accidents, said Commissioner
Rudy. Any automobile or truck founc
unsafe or with mechanical defect
must be placed in a safe condition
before an official inspection stickel
will be issued, he said.
Last year 336,431 automobiles werl
examined; of this number it wa:
found $4,000 had unsafe brakes, 124,.
900 headlights were adjusted or re-
placed and 10000 mechanisms were
placed in safe condition.
The Commissioner suggests that
motorists have their machines in
spected early in the campaign ant
avoid as much as possible the conges-
ton which usually occurs at the close
Of the period.
