A DUTY TO PERFORM

One of the very great dangers to
our democratic form of government
today is the lack of interest which
people take in elections. Let this not
be said of Oakland citizens nor vot-
ers throughout the county.
The primary responsibility for good
or bad local government as well as
other divisions of government, rests
with the citizens. The choice of repre-
sentatives is always put up to them,
under our system of government, and
unless he makes his choice he is not
fulfilling his or her obligations of cit
izenship.
Oakland citizens have a duty to per-
form next Wednesday evening.
A citizens meeting has been called
to select candidates for mayor, mem
bers Of council and treasurer of the
town.
For the past number of years there
have been in attendance at these cit
liens meetings only a mere handful
of voters Many Of the citizens Of the
town absent themselves. Only few
women ever attended.
Too many voters have become in
different and negligent with regard to
this duty Of citizenship. Some say they
have no interest in who may be chosen
to represent them, or that they can
not see anybody they particularly de-
sire among a whole lot Of candidates
offered.
The opportunity to nominate some
one whom they do desire presents it.
self at this open meeting.
Should there be no interest taken in
the meeting those who stay away
have hardly any right to criticize the
kind of government those who are
elected see fit to impose upon the peo-
pie Of the town.
The meeting thus called is in the
nature of primary election, Pay no
attention to that old story to the eff
feet that the primary campaign does
not mean anything because the real
issues are to be settled in the regular
election.
AS matter of fact the primary Tin
this case the citizens meeting) is just
as important as the regular election
if not more so, because if undesirable
men get into the running in the pri-
mary they may squeeze in at the cleo
ton.
For good government IN Oakland, il
Garrett county and in the nation, it is
the duty and responsibility Of every
citizen to be vitality interested il
whom they select to represent them il
any public office.

KEEPING LENT

Observed by members of the Chris
tian churches everywhere, by special
services as well as by prayer fasting
and sacrifice, the period of forty days
between Ash Wednesday, and Easter
brings a break in the activities of a
more worldly nature Of the church
member.
Meditation and self-denial are wor-
thy habits at any season of; the calen-
dar and most particularly applicable
at the present time when deep thought
is necessary before taking important
steps or making decisions of para
mount Importance to community and
country. Every one, be he member of
a church or non-believer, may profit
by the custom.
Most OPPORTUNITY comes the period
of self-denial, especially if the money
thus saved from worldly pleasures OF
other trifing sacrifice be applied to re-
lief of others less fortunate than our
selves. To make sacrifices during the
Lenten period does not mean that il
may be followed by an orgy of spend
ing after Easter. Rather does it teach
us to curb our desires, appetites anC
inclinations toward extravaganza il
many ways.
Meditation and prayer qEes neces
sary to clear thinking and clean liv
ing, and prayer, coupled with work
will bring about results not obtaina

IN DAYS OF OLD
FORTY YEARS AGO

A Garrett county delegation ap-
peared before members of the Legisla-
ture at Annapolis and made a strong
argument for State aid to operate the
schools Of the county.
Since January l Clerk E. z. Tower
had issued marriage licenses to TWEEN
ty-fve couples.
The County Commissioners an
nounced that supervisors of roads in
the county would receive fifteen cents
per hour for labor while engaged in
repairing and building of highways
under their care.
]. Forward, Of Washington county,
was in Oakland interesting farmers
and business men in the proposition
of establishing a creamery here.
Edward NJ. Spedden and force of
helpers were engaged in erecting a
store building at North Glade for Ju-
Illus Littman.
Court boarders were being offered
rates of fifty cents per day by Mrs.
G. w. Merrill, near the school house,
and Mrs. John Schlossnagle, west end
of town.
E. H. and w. H. Smouse, Mountain
Lake Park, went to New York City to
dispose of about 81 800 worth of furs
which they had bought during the
winter from trappers.
At a flower show in Chicago, Henry
Weber carried off eight prizes. His
new rose, "The Garrett" fell into
favor and an order was booked fol
nine hundred of the plants.
Two we'll known residents of the
county were making preparations to &C

A Correspondent Considers Governor
Nice's Proposal To The Baltimore
Sun Was Very Much In Order.

To the Editor of The Republican.
| read Governor Nice's proposal to
the Baltimore Sun Of February Dist
with great deal of interest. 1t seems
to me that this proposal was very
much in order and showed that Gov
ernor Nice was inspired by a sincere
desire to solve the problem of State
finance, which affects all of us.
The Sun rejected this proposal in
an angry, unreasonable editorial. n
The Governors telegram in reply,
which | consider so fair and high
minded, that l am Incorporating it in
this letter, was printed in the Letter
to the Editor" column of the Sun. No
attempt to reply was made.
MANY of the worlds most i'm
portant reforms have been brought
about through constructive suggestion
by newspapers. Criticism can only be
justified when the critic is willing and
able to offer remedy for the faults
to which he objects. The problem of
State finance is not Republican or
Democratic. 1t is Maryland's prob
lem. Your refusal, therefore, to rem
der assistance in this or any other
State Problems refusal to the
people Of Maryland and not to me.
Il have no comment to make on the
language in which your rejection OF
my proposal was couched except to
say that prefer to forget the temper
displayed therein and to remember
only the really fine part you have
played in the history of our State.
at is not my desire and it is GER
tainly not your intention to prolong
this discussion. l do feel that l am
justified in asking you to continue
your courtesy through the publication
of this telegram in tomorrow's issue
l am impressed with the logic in this
telegram. 1t is true that the news.
papers of this country have done much
j to improve conditions. 1t seems to me
that the Governor gave the Sun {
wonderful opportunity to help the
people of Maryland.

WAGE-HOUR RULES
TO Be PUBLISHED
Definitions Will Be Issued
to Clarity Application
of New Law.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Wage Hour Administration will
issue general definitions and regula-
tions soon to clarity application of the
new labor standards law, but only in
few cases will they deal with indi-
vidual industries or occupations.
Congress could have outlined the
industries to which the law would ap-
ply, but didn't, and neither can we,"
wage-hour officials said. I'VE can
hardly put out catalogue saying this
industry is covered by the act and
that one isn't"
One of the first announcements will
define learners, apprentices, handi-
capped workers and messengers, who
the Wage Hour Act says may be paid
less than the statutory minimum of Is
cents an hour effective October "a.
Another will define professionals,
executive and other categories spe-
cificaily exempted by Congress.
Offlcials said, however, these defini-
tions would not be specific enough to
inform large manufacturing COM
pany, for example, whether an indi-
vidual employe would be subject to
minimum wage provisions of the law.
Elmer F. Andrews, wage-hour ad-
ministrator, and his legal staff will
attempt to make more specific rulings
In response to individual requests from
industries or workers in doubt about
the application of the law to their
occupations.
The administrator said, however. the
courts would have to decide many
questions concerning which he had
mo power to make any binding rul-
Ing"
All industries in interstate COM
merce, except those specifically ex-
empted, will be subject to the act.
They will be obliged to pay their
workers q minimum of Is cents an
hour and limit their work to a maxi
mum of A hours a week.
Employers who violate the require
ments will be liable for unpaid sums
plus an equal amount as damages and
costs of litigation.
