Goth from Georgetown.
Last Friday arrived here from
Mount Vernon the President of the
United States, and on Saturday morn
ing in company with the principal
Gentlemen of this town and neighbor-
hood, set out to view the country ad-
jacent to the River Potomac, in order
to fix upon a proper situation for the
Grand Columbian Federal City. The
President returned on Saturday eve
ming and on Sunday morning early set
out for the Great Falls and Conoge-
cheague. We are informed that, since
the arrival of the President in our
parts, bets respecting the seat of
Government run high in favor of
George Town"
And those bettors won! SO did
Maryland and so did Daniel Carroll,
Samuel Davidson, Motley Young and
David Burns, who owned most of the
property. They received about 10
pounds an acre, the agreement being
rs pounds an acre with streets not

Andrew Ellicot began the survey.
Major Pierre Charles L'Enfant was
added to the staff. He and Washing
ton and Jefferson used to meet and
talk over their plans at little house
in Georgetown. L'Enfant suggested
the curious diagonal avenue system
that still characterizes Washington
! and then got fired for ''in subordina-
ton" Ellicot finished the plans. The
cornerstone Of the Capitol was laid
on September /, 1893.
Other public buildings We're consid-
cred but the money was dwindling
Maryland and Virginia had loaned
$4,000 but other financial sources
were either cool or exhausted. Presi-
dent Washington appealed to Cover
nor Stone, and on December 4, 1896,
Maryland again came to the rescue
with a loan of 100000, then followed
it up with another for 100000 and a
third for $4,000. In 1900, Congress
began its sessions in the new Federal
City.
Maryland land and Maryland cash

Federal City and Maryland talent en-

THE FARMER EARNS HIS
MEAT

Freezing weather in the Middle
West, the Border States and in much
Of the South, means "hog-killing
time" a custom observed on thousands
of farms despite the wide distribu-
ton of paclling-house products and
the low price of proeessed pork. To
those who have acquired a taste for
country cured hams, the practice is a
pleasant one which they hope will not
die out. To thousands of low-cash-in-
come farm families, the occasion pro-
vides a years meat supply.
There is a comforting thought to
be gained from this fact 1t is that
enough of the old pioneer spirit still
prevails to cause thousands of Amer
lean farmers to grow and process
their own meat supply. Not that the
practice is economical. If farmers
could get one-half as much for their
labor or their products as the work
ers at Army camps or the manufac-
tuners of materials for defense, they
would be foolish to waste so much
time on home butchering. But under
existing conditions many find it the
simplest way to fill the family larder
although it is far from a simple or
easy task. Until the farmer can com
pete on equal terms with industrial
producers, he may have to bring
home the bacon" the hard way.

The attention of the nation, indeed
of the entire world, is now focused
upon the city of Washington. In that
city are concentrated all the influ-
ences and intrigues that control the
lives and deaths Of millions of persons
clear around the globe.
Washington, therefore, is the polit-
ical center of the world. And Mary
land made it possible. Just how it was
done is brought forcibly to mind by

WILL DEMOCRACY
SURVIVE?-


Whether OF not democracy will sur
vive after this second World War is
ended, is often the topic of conversa-
ton when a group of serious-minded
men get together, here in Oakland and
elsewhere.
The very essence of democracy gives
the people who try to destroy it the
privilege of speaking their mind and
the opportunity to undermine its prin-
ciples. The outcome, of course, will
ultimately rest on how much good
common sense the majority of the
people of the United States have.
Sometimes we wonder. What will
eventually become of a person who
claims to be honest, and yet is dishon-
est; who proclaims his beliefs as
above reproach, and yet acts the OPP
posite; who lives above his means
and makes no plans for the future;
who announces his adherence to the
principles of justice, and yet is so
partisan in his decisions.
Change that person to government
and ask the same questions. How long
can a democratic government continue
if it uses dictator principles under the
pretense of democracy?
Can democracy long endure when a
man is drafted and required to spend
year in camp at wage Of $21.00 per
month, when at the same time carpen-
ters who are building the barracks for
the draftees to live in are making as
much as $500 per day?
Can democracy long endure when
workers in factories producing de-
Tense needs can strike for higher
wages and get away with it; when the
government metes out a jail sentence
to a minister for refusing to enter the
draft?
Can democracy long endure when
those owning the factories and fur
nishing capital for business expansion
and wages to employees are continually
bounded by government with all re-
strictions on capital and none on
labor?
Can democracy long endure when
class distinction is emphasized?
Can democracy long endure when
every totalitarian government has
workers boring from within under
complete protection of the govern
ment it seeks to destroy
Yes, even in a democracy we have
laws that seek to prevent persons do
ing acts that are injurious to others.
1t is against the law to set fire to your
own house. 1t is against the law to
encroach upon the rights of other
men. We don't figure democracy is the
right to do anything one desires, re-
CARELESS of how it affects other peo-
pie.
Democracy can still be maintained
by going back to the principles upon
which it was founded and carrying out
those principles.
Democracy can still be maintained
by getting rid Of those enemies from
within that are working increasingly
for its downfall.
Democracy will survive if the peo-
pie want it. And if the people want
it they will fight for there OF
wherever necessary.
First they are going to have to
fight themselves, and then every un-
principled person who is some politi-
cal officer, from the lowest to the
highest.
When democracy has won out here
we will have hope of maintaining it, #
we keep up the fight.

RED HOUSE LUTHERAN PARISH

The Holy Communion service for
the entire parish will be held next
Sunday morning at 10:40 o'clock. Very
few parishes have a better record in
the matter Of observing Christ's low
ing command concerning the Sacra-
ment of the Altar than that of Red
House. What is to be our record for
1941?
A brilliant and lovable actress said
to Christian minister: "You are
religious because you are weak; you
want God to hold your hand!" The
true Christian is very conscious of
his weaknesses, of his need of divine
mercy and strength. With all his I'M
worthiness he unites with his fellow
Christians in the Public Confession
and partakes of the Body and Blood Of
our Lord Jesus Christ. Thus he re-
ceives strength to fight the good fight
of faith in world that is full of de-
structive evils and sins.
Parents are urged to present their
children to God in Holy Baptism at
this service, and persons prepared to
unite with the Church may be received
by certificate or transfer, baptism or
by confirmation.

In an interesting paper read before
members Of the Research Club,
Friday afternoon at the home OF
Mrs. Anna Ewell. Mrs. Fl. O. Wood
bury gave brief history of the Ha-
waiian Islands and told many inter
esting facts regarding the natives,
the industries OF the islands and the
schools. The islands. she said, which
were first called Sandwich Islands,
were discovered by an English cap
tain Cook in l77S. In 1899 they were
annexed to the United States and in
1900 the Territory of Hawaii was
organized. There is a conglomera-
ton OF races, the speaker said. OF
the white people, exclusive of the
soldiers. the Scotch outnumber any
other nationality with the exception
OF the natives. There are also
Koreans, Chinese and Japanese who
do all the agricultural work. she
said The principal industry is the
raising OF pineapples and sugar
cane. Eighty.five per cent OF pine.
apples raised, she said. are used in
this country. The principal food,
other than fruit, is taro and rice
while meat and milk are shipped
in. Wages are about $500 per year
and milk sells for 80 cents per
quart. The climate she described as
being very mild. the average tenn
perature being about 70 degrees.
Schools are Of the best and educa.
ton is pulsory. The island OF
