WILL HELP CARTER
Former Army Officer Here to
Push Fight to Clear Self
ofFraud Charges.

Oberlin M. Carter was back in Wash
ington today, prepared-at 8l--to con-
tinue his 40-year fight to clear him.
self of the fraud charges that resulted
in his dishonorable discharge as a
captain of Army engineers and i'm
prisonment in Leavenworth Peniten-
tiary in 1898.
Plans for the final push in the
vindication battle were discussed YES
terday at a luncheon in Speaker
Bankheads private dining room in the
Capitol. Mr.. Carter was accompanied
by Paul Alfonsi, Speaker of the Wis
conSin Assembly, and others present
were Representatives Allen of Penn
sylvania, Teigan of Minnesota, Boileau
OF Wisconsin, Hill of WASHINGTON.
LeaVy of Washington, Lewis of Mary
land, Maverick of Texas, Bigelow of
ONO. OConnell of Montana. Coffee of
Washington, Withrow of Wisconsin
and Bernard of Minnesota.
A bill to aid Mr. Carter is pending
IN Congress. sponsored by Representa-
tive jenkins, Republican,, of Ohio.
Capt. Carter was dismissed from the
Army cfter being taken before
court-martial on charges of receiving
and paying for materials contrary to
contract specifications. In addition
to being sentenced to five years in
prison he was fined $1,000.
Since completion of his Leavenworth
term, Mr.. Carter has been carrying
on ceaseless campaign to clear his
name. At hearing before sub
committee of the House Military At
fairs Committee last March, Mr.. Car
ter claims he was denied the right to
croSs-examine witness who testified
against him.
Ten months later, he was permitted
crosS-eXamination. but, he declares,
has since been refused a copy of the
testimony given at that time, and this
has made it impossible for him to pre-
pare brief of his case for considera-
tion in connection with Representative
Jenkins bill
The House members present at YES
Na'S . i"AANi'Spil iiot olllE assured MI
Carter they would assist him in OBJ
tanning "a full and complete hearing"
before the military affairs group. but
Joined him in issuing a statement de-
clarlng that the charges brought
against him We're clearly dlsproved by
the evidence offered and conviction
was based solely on suspicion of
having received money outside of his
salary, a suspicion wholly unfounded
and not germane to the case"

Weather Or Not

Garrett county weather this winter
seems quite nice-thus far. On Janu-
airy % the warmlike weather took
many persons out for drives-some
even going to Swallow Falls for a
meander through the forests and
around Muddy Greek and the Youghi-
ogheny River.
1t cooled off to 3 above zero during
the week, but there was spring-like
weather again this past Sunday. One
lady picked pansies from her rock
garden. That's much better than Mich
igan or New York can do this winter.
Of course we're not one to crow too
soon. Well have to wait and see what
the grounding thinks of the situation
and what his plans are.

There's nothing that can be done
about it this year, but it is our belief
that funds raised for the fight against
infantile paralysis should be left in
the section in which they are raised
at least a good percentage-such as
was done with Birthday Ball proceeds
up until this year.
When all the proceeds from dances
all over the country go into central
agency, there arises too much chance
for graft, and there is hardly a way
to check up.
The way publicity concerning these
dances has reached The Republican
office within the past two or three
months, would lead one to believe that
all of the money raised is spent on
having paid publicity writers con-
coct lot of stories about these cele-
brations. Had this newspaper used
all of the material it would have been
necessary to print 16 to 20 pages each
week.
Some gentleman in New York who
has more money than he knows what
to do with, is said to pay expenses of
all publicity, so that the money doesn't
have to come out of the funds that
should go to fight this disease. How
ever, when every cent raised this year
goes to a national committee, it makes
the pathway easy for INSCRIPTIONS
people, and you'll have to admit there
are plenty of them mixed up in poll
tics. politics, by the way, isn't sup
posed to have anything to do with it,
and shouldn't. But try and keep a pol
itician away when he smells money!.
To buy a dance ticket, even though
you don't dance, just to help fight in
fantile paralysis, is indeed a noble
deed-providing the money for that
ticket goes where it should. When 70
per cent stayed in the community in
which it was raised, people were sure
of that much. This year people aren't
getting much "kick" out of raising
funds to go to an unknown destina-
ton, and this is not the only protest.
Newspapers are telling of quite few
places that don't like the idea one bit.
This is protest against the meth
cd, not the subject We need funds to
fight infantile paralysis, cancer, syph-
Ills and need them badly.
Perhaps dance or some other ben
eft, run locally, later in the spring,
would provide some of the necessary
funds for Garrett county.

Facts Of The Week

A salesman reported that Garrett
county and the surrounding territory
was one of the best for his product
bicarbonate of soda.
People around here use lot of it
to put into their buckwheat cake bat
ter every morning, and then when
they get Indigestion from eating the
buckwheat cakes, they dissolve a lot
of it in water and drink it.
1t has been said that one way to
stimulate business would be to get rid
of about seven million secondhand
automobiles now cluttering the mar
ket.
Maybe Uncle Sam could purchase
them and give them to those folks on
relief who don't already have cars.
m**
The number of automobiles owned
per hundred persons is as follows in
these countries: Twenty two in the
United States; eleven in Canada; five
in France; two in Germany and one
in Italy. Americans own and operate
70 per cent of the automobiles in the
world.
And speaking of incomes, the aver
age workers income in America is
$1275; the average British worker
earns $783 per year; the German
worker has an annual income of only
$71S; the Italian gets only $239.
