PRINTING, THE MOTHER
OF PROGRESS

The printed word has preserved for
us the lessons of history that we might
pattern a better life. 1t has stirred the
ambitions of men to new endeavors
and to conquer new frontiers, thus
speeding our whole development. 1t
has handed down to US not only the
words of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence but the philosophy and spirit of
the Revolution without which liberty
and freedom probably would not long
have endured. Through printing we
have been given the knowledge to go
forward in science, industry, finance
and other fields. And through the
printed pages in magazines, books and
newspapers the millions Of people in
this country today are informed Of
happenings in the most remote corner
of the world which may affect their
welfare.
But most of all printing has pre-
served the lesson that our whole prog
ress has sprung from the basic Amer
lean principle that we go forward only
as we encourage private initiative and
provide an incentive for human en-
deavor. That is the theme of our story
of progress.
What better example of this can
one imagine than the fact that from
that one little press and that handful
of type in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
has developed an industry which today
gives a living, directly or indirectly,
to millions of persons annually. Of
equal Importance is the fact that
printing annually contributes $685.
100000 to other industries through its
purchases of goods and materials,
most of which amount eventually is
translated into wages of workers 70
increase purchasing power in this
country. But more significant, and of
far greater Importance, is the intu-
ence that the more than S2,000,000,000
worth of printing turned out annually
by this industry has had in moving
goods from producer to consumer,
from farm to family and in bringing
about the higher standard of living
which we all enjoy.

Too Quick On The Trigger

Apparently Walter J. Quick, deputy
state forester, was too quick on the
trigger when he stated to the press
that the Garrett County States A.
torney had failed to keep his promise
about bringing information about in
cendiarists before the Grand Jury.
Fraley's statement Oh page one
shows that Quick, sitting in Baltimore,
doesn't know all there is to know
about Garrett county.
In every report of the Forestry De
partment they state that at least 70
percent of all fires here are incendiary.
Quick made the statement that last
Friday there were 80 fires, all incen-
diary. If he has proof that they were
incendiary, why doesn't he present 1t
as evidence? If he is only suspicious,
why don't they concentrate on running
down the offenders. But instead they
accuse our county officials of not CO.
operating.
For uniformed people to read these
reports they get the idea that all Gar
rett countians do is to run around and
set the woods on fire A man in Oak
land just two weeks ago from Balti-
more, when taken on motor trip
around the lake, expressed amazement
that there were farms in this county.
He thought it was all woodland, and

However, he has not been idle IL

scented in a dispatch from Grinnell,
Iowa, printed in the Des Moincs

lows: Secretary of Commerce Harry
Hopkins is now a member of the
Methodist church here. He belonged
years ago but recently asked to be re-
instated. The Rev. Charles r. Rowe,
pastor of the Methodist church, said
action had been taken on Hopkins re-
quest to affiliate himself with the
church of his boyhood and he is now a
member of the local congregation.
Secretary Hopkins informed the pas
tor that his request was in line with
his desire to renew his interest in Iowa
and his announced intention of max
ing his home here. The closer linking
of Mr.. Hopkins with Grinnell and Iowa
adds fuel to the rumor that residence

Paragraph Opinions
THE FACT

THE FACT
Statistics tell US that today % per
cent of mans salary goes to his gov
eminent. That's an average of $317
a year for each employed person. Sta
tistics - obvious ones - show that
taxes do not now cover governmental
expenses.
We have a national debt of over
$4,000, 900, OOO-unpaid bills. In other
words, despite income, estate, business
and all other forms of taXtion the gov
eminent is still not taking in enough
to foot it's yearly bills. That has been
true ever since the New Deal took Of
fee.
1t is certainly time to set the Ma
tional house in order.
The individual spendthrift ulti-
mately reaches the bankrupt court.
Governments have many of the weak
nesses of individuals, and when the
credit of government is impaired, 1t
occupies a dangerous position.
These are the words of Senator Will
liam H. King, Utah Democrat, taken
from the Congressional Record.
President Roosevelt was prevented
by Congress in the past few days
from ordering Argentine canned beef
for the navy, because the price was
lower than that for the American
beef
There is no great mystery as to why
Argentine beef packers could bid
lower on canned beef needed for the
u. S. Navy. .,.
AS the Cumberland News editor re-
Gently said:
an the United States everything
connected with the production, trans
portation, processing and marketing
of that corned beef is boosted in cost
by government interference and regu-
lation. Government prescribes the
hours of labor and regulates wages.
Government taxes increase the
cost of everything used in the indus
try from the ropes on the steers to
the cans and cartons for the beef. And,
finally the government takes its toll OF
gross profits without considering
whether that last deduction may not
push the true balance over into the
red.
''In contrast, the Argentine packers
have the advantage of the cooperative
system and instead of having con-
slant government interference, are
government-subsidized."
No, it isn't hard to guess why they
could be the low bidders.
And, with Mr.. Roosevelt's methods
of dealing with business only too well
known, it isn't hard to guess why he
would try to give Argentine beef
raisers the preference. Everything he
does seems like he tries to bring the
people of this country into subsection,
where they all will be dependent upon
his generosity in handing back to them
their own money.

Mr.. Hopkins Joins Church

Washington, May 90.
When the ballyhoo about Mr.. Hop
kins and his plans for putting bust
ness on its feet, which preceded and
followed his appointment as Secretary
of Commerce, is recalled, it does seem
that this is a gullible nation which
cares little about either consistency
or sincerity in its public servants.
Apparently the stage has been
reached where they can say one thing
and do another with complete I'M
punity. Certainly no man ever exem-
pIifed this better than the President
himself, whose great spending policy
inaugurated in 1888 and pursued ever
since, is in direct conflict with the
platform upon which he was elected
and in complete contradiction of his
own speeches and statements. For a
variety of reasons Mr.. Roosevelt 'got
away" with this extraordinary con-
tradiction, and it is perhaps natural
that his subordinates should feel that
they too can afford to talk one way and
perform in another. Nevertheless, it
seems worth while to call attention to
these departures if only for the sake
of the record and in order to discour-
age their spreading still further down
the line until no ones word in politics
means anything.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1939-05-25

Literally hundreds of inspired col
umns were printed to this general eff
feet and one of Mr.. Hopkins business
stooges went so far as enthusiastically
to assert that he would be the "great-
est Secretary of Commerce we ever
had" That's the record-now look at
the results. Mr.. Hopkins has folded up
and faded away. Perhaps little pub
licity like this may bring him to the
front again but the fact is that his de-
partment is not functioning vigorously
at all. Within the last three weeks two
designations of business men, put in
the department with the idea Of aiding
in the great Hopkins program, have
taken place because, it is stated, they
despaired of getting anything done.
Another resignation for the same rea-
son is said to be pending.

Therefore, it is here recalled that
Mr.. Hopkins by press conference
propaganda and personal GRAFTON pro.
claimed himself the friend of business
determined to remove the handicaps
under which it has labored and re-
store its health. There was vast pub
LEFTY about his elaborate plans for do
ing these things. He was announced as
in favor of the Morgenthau-Hanes re.
vision proposals. He was understood tc
be against any further regulation. II
was said that his great influence
with the President would be used tc
turn him toward the right and avoic
radical appointments and actions.

party he had been compelled IN
make a few concessions: that
obligated him to certain policies
which were not particularly vital
in themselves but irked the pro-
gressives. Then. Mr.. Taft had
ideas of his own and when he
thought the occasion demanded
he could be pretty stubborn. The
result was that the friends OF
Roosevelt began to take offense.
They jumped on Taft and he
took the bit in his teeth.
Taft made two serious blum
ders In one week. He fired
Clifford Pinchott, whom Roose-
welt considered the greatest
conseryationist of the age, and
a warm personal friend. That
was the wedge which finally
created a wide split between
Taft and Roosevelt.
Taft's next blunder, the
same week, was a speech In
which he upheld the tariff bill
passed by a Republican con-
gress. The country 'as
whole didn't like the bill and
Taft's unnecessarily strong
commentator of the measure
started a wholesale detection
of progressives.
1t doesn't take long to tell the
rest of the story. Roosevelt,
heading his progressive friends,
became a third party candidate
in 1913. Hughes, the runner-up
in the previous campaign, was
picked by the Republicans as the
one man likely to hold the party
together. Woodrow Wilson bat
tied it out with William Jen-
ming Bryan and the Champ
Clark following at the Balti-
more convention and went to the
head of the Democratic ticket.
The three ring campaign was
the direct result of the Taft in
fluence but the effect on the
Republican might not have been
80 serious had not Candidate
Hughes snubbed Hiram john
son, friend of Theodore Roose-
welt, and worst of all, No. 1 pro-
gressive and California white
haired boy. That switched
enough California electoral votes
to elect Wilson. Its been tough
going for the COP ever since.
A great deal can happen in the
next year, but the supporters Of
the other Roosevelt would like
nothing better than to see an
other Taft head the Republican
ticket in 1910.
