Probate Law Revision
Item for Legislative Program.
p EVISION Of the probate law
may be an item in the Dis
trict's legislative program before
the Seventy-fifth Congress this
Winter. Register Of Wills Theo-
dore Cogswell, In an article in the
current Journal of the District
Bar Association, suggests that the
probate laws be brought in line
with modern needs. During the
135 years since their enactment, he
states, the District laws regarding
estates have undergone but one ex-
tensive study and amendment.
They now, like many other District
laws, are much Of Q patchwork and
not In line with present-day ideas.
The register Of wills is engaged
in assembling data on the subject
and drafting proposed amend
ments. He has suggested that If
the Bar Association decides that
changes are necessary that it re-
quest the court to appoint a re-
vision committee.

Shootin' Sermons At
The British Soldiers
Based on HistOsical Fact

~ have nothing but the highest re-
spect for your CLOTH" said Ben Frank
lin to the Rev. Gilbert Tenant, of Mon
mouth. 81 know you to be a man of
the highest integrity, of unimpeach-
able character and honesty-but-
those sermons I printed for you on
Defensive War will stay right here
until get my pay for them"
And stay they did-a neat bundle of
satan-slugging sermons, waiting for
the day when the Dominic could wran-
gle the shillings from the impecunious
flock.
War clouds worried those doughty
citizens. Still more they worried the
Colonial militiamen-for war meant
muskets; muskets needed wadding;
wadding meant paper, and paper was
scarce.
Presently on the imminent pros
pect of having to play host to the
British redcoats, came an edct confis-
eating all paper. No scrap of paper,
however used, was overlooked, and so
it happened that Ben Franklin's loft
was cleaned out, and he was forced
to give up those sermons so long held
in hook.
Forthwith those sermons were
rounded into musket wadding. And
none too soon, for the British were
on the march. Came the morning of
June %, 1778, when the crackle of
muzzle-loaders hazed the embattled
citizenry into frantic closing of shut
tiers, still more frantic last minute
I load-up with powder and lead and
printed sermon musket wadding. The
| Red Coats were in sight, advancing
shoulder to shoulder in the best Eng
lish tradition.
At frequent intervals the advancing
Red Coats would stop, take aim in the
general direction of the Colonists and,
/ more or less, fire in unison with ear
splitting reverbartions and practi-
cally no damage.
Those early Americans, refusing to
recognize English traditions, made
poor targets. They had the bad taste
to secrete their persons behind fences,
in stumps, and in bitches. Indeed each
of those ragged militiamen" felt it
was his private war and he conducted
it much as he individually saw fit.
But to keep from the nicked in the
interim by one of his fellow patriots
if he fingered too far in advance of
| his fellows, each feel back before the
beefeaters until great number found
themselves grouped together on the
steps of the Rev. Gilbert Tenants
church.
Heartened, no doubt, by intimate
knowledge of their pastors sermons,
they made determined stand. Now,
shoulder to shoulder, they stood deliv-
ering those sermons with telling eff
feet, Kidding the British ranks with
Genesis and Exodus, until the British,
thoroughly chastened, withdrew and
left the field.
Great indeed was the confidence of
that congregation then for the elo-
quence of their minister. He prospered
but we find no record of Franklin
ever having been paid, which, of
course, even in those days, was not
new in the printing business.
The point in this historical episode
is: the way a message is delivered
is responsible for the difference in
effectiveness. If an advertiser wants
to put his message over with telling
effect, he should print it in The Re-
publican. He'll be glad-and so will
we.

MT. PARK

1t would appear that at is never
too late to learn"
A week ago Sunday, in binding
snow storm, very early in the morn
ing, we started on an eighty-four
mile trip into Pennsylvania. But it
was not too early for the Maryland
State road forces to be on the job
men and plows were all along the
highway trying and succeeding in
clearing the roads. At one point some
of our party became separated from
the rest and were having rather
difficult time with wet coils, etc. A
big snow pillow came by, stopped and
the driver got down from his seat
and in little while he had managed
to get the car in condition to make
it to a filling station. Back on his
pillow he climbed and on his way he
went.
When we reached the next highway
we could get only SO far and were
compelled to return to- the Maryland
highway. Somehow we all felt a lit
tie more safe. We know nothing of
State highway roads or the systems
by which they are operated, but we
do know this: that Maryland can well
be proud of her organization and of
all those connected with it.
The body of Eugene Commerford
was taken to California, Pa, on Sun
day morning and interment made in
that town. On Sunday preceding the
funeral party was forced to return
when within two miles of it's desti-
nation. Mr.. Commerford died on We'd
nesday, January Is, after an illness
of some months.
A Word of Thanks
We want to say a word Of thanks
to C. P. Martin 6 Sons. Their store
has been a welsome haven to all of
Jus who have to wait on the main
highway to get us to Oakland. The
school children who wait for the bus
in great numbers are thankful for
this place where they may get warm
before the bus arrives. Below zero
conditions are not very pleasant to
stand out of doors. So our thanks for
opening the store so early and keep
ing a good fire that we all may stay
warm.
Personals
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Graham Hevell
have been confined to their home here
with attacks of the grip the past few
days.
Mrs. Frank Murphy has returned
from trip to Fairmont.
Mayor F. r. Utterback has returned
to Baltimore after spending the week.
end here with his family. Mayor ut,
terback is located in Baltimore for a
month in the general offices of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
F. R. Cornell is able to be out
after an illness of several days.
Words to gladden. the heart
"The pipes are beginning to thaw;
there comes a load of coal; the wind
seems to be dying down some; SUMS
coming out; there comes the snow
plow."
We could not write column last
week because we had not heard these
words, and, anyhow, we really were
showed in.
