GAS" FOR ICKES

Harold L. Ickes, the Administra-
TONS petroleum dictator, is one
motorist on the Eastern Seaboard
who doesn't have to worry about a
gasoline shortage.
Hidden away on his Maryland
estate, about 20 miles from Washing
ton, he has his own little gasoline
station, complete with underground
tank and regular filling station
pump.
Ickes has had plenty Of gasoline at
his disposal at his private filling sta
ton. The underground tank reported
ly has a capacity of 500 gallons and
he needs all of it for the three heavy
passenger cars he is known to drive,
station wagon and two tractors,
which are used to work the land on
the $4,000 estate.
The passenger cars get about eight
miles to the gallon and at least one
of them, according to neighbors,
travels the 40 miles to town and back
three or four times a day.-Washing-
ton Cd c. Times-Herald.

LOYALTY TO THE
PRESIDENT

In Germany, Italy, Russia-wher-
ever they have come to power-the
first act of dictators has been to re-
quire all officials in the government,
all legislators, and all in the army
and navy to swear an oath of per-
sonal loyalty to them.
In this country Democratic Ma
tional Chairman Edward J. Flynn as
serts that he will not purge from the
party those Democrats who have OPP
posed President Roosevelt in the
present crisis.
1t is up to the people, he said, to de-
eide whether their representatives in
Congress have been sufficiently loyal
TO THE PRESIDENT
OF course, it is very generous of
Mr. Flynn to forego the pledges of
purging. But in doing so, he under
takes to create a false issue in the
coming Congressional campaigns and
that is why we emphasized above the
words TO THE PRESIDENT. There
is nothing in the Constitution, the
American system or in the principles
of democracy that requires member
of Congress to be loyal TO THE
PRESIDENT
Indeed, as a people we always have
scorned as eyes men" those weahings
and opportunists who made blind 10y
atty TO THE PRESIDENT their God.
The obligation resting on members of
Congress is that they be loyal to
AMERICA-to the best welfare of
THE PEOPLE THEY REPRESENT,
as dictated by their judgment and
conscience before God.
Perhaps some heads may fall next
November because of lack of loyalty
TO AMERICA-or TO THE PEG
PIES WELFARE. But we doubt
whether any constituency will vote
down men on the issue that they
failed in loyalty TO THE PRESI-
DENT. Mr.. Roosevelt made loyalty to
him the issue in several States in
1888 with disastrous consequences to
himself and his Administration. Mr..
Flynn was local Tammany leader in
1888, and apparently he cannot learn
except through personal experience.

The Old State Road

Of fragment of Francis Deakins' ex-
pense account in opening the State
Road from Bloomington through
Yough Glades (Oakland) to the State

that when Washington passed through

SETTLERS IN PENNSYLVANIA

On October 7, 1853, King George
III of England by proclamation for
babe any white people to settle on the
Indian lands lying west of the Allie
gheny Mountain, except at certain
places on the Braddock and Forbes
Roads. Nevertheless the Friends set
tied on the Youghiogheny in Mary
land and by 1768 there were about
$50 unlawful settlers in Pennsylvania.
In that year the General Assembly
ordered these settlers to move, on
penalty of death. In what is now Som
erset county the following were set
tied at Turkeyfoot (Confluence) J.:
Henry Abrahams, John Cooper, Eze-
kiel Dewitt, Henry Enslow, John
Enslow, Ezekiel Hickman, Benjamin
Jennings, Benjamin Pursley, James
Spencer.
Though warned, most of these set
tiers refused to move, and November
5, 1768, the chiefs Of the Six Nations,
ny IIle UIGdGy VI L OIC toGdHWIA, IN. L =,
coded to the Penns the Indian lands in
southwestern Pennsylvania for &1O,-
900. The Penns then opened this land
for settlement at 95 per 100 acres.
In 1772 the first assessment list of
Brothersvalley Township, which en-
braced all of what is now Somerset
county west of the Allegheny Noun
tain, records the names of 124 set
tiers, among whom were Henry and
John Enslow (Enlow), Andrew, Au-
gustine, Charles and Nicholas Friend,
all at Turkeyfoot; John Markley at
Salisbury; John Weimer near Rock
wood; John Hinebaugh and James
McMullen in the north.

TOWARD A PEACEFUL
WORLD


The object of war is to make peace.
The kind of peace that is made will
depend on who wins the war-on the
aims and ideals, or the greed, of the
victors. Unless free peoples are
thinking about the shape of things to
come, they are fighting on the defen-
sive. Merely to protect institutions of
liberty which exist is a noble thing,
but those who are making sacrifices to
that end have right to demand also
positive gain toward the establish
ment of justice and right in interna-
tional affairs
Sumner Welles, Acting Secretary of
State, has given expression to some Of
the aspirations which must help nerve
the endeavors of free peoples defend
ing the traditions of democracy in this
crisis. His address at the Norwegian
Legation in Washington stating in
broad outline the aims of the United
States for restoration of law and or
der in the world after the war will
help supply a needed directive in as
surfing that the sacrifices of war shall
be to some purpose.
The idea of an Association of ma
tions" to keep peace will not down.
Mr.. Welles adverts to the Wisonian
ideal and upholds it, though he is very
frank in Analysing why the League
Of Nations in practice failed of its
mission. 1t failed, he says, because of
selfishiness, of politico- economic am
billions, and because it came to be
used merely as an instrument to pre-
serve the status quo, not as a medi-
UNI for bringing about peaceful, i'm
partial, and equitable adjustments
The people must see to it that what
ever new mechanism may be evolved
is used in better spirit.
Mr.. Welles does not undertake to
blueprint such a mechanism. Others
have provided number of such plans
and studies from which statesmen
may draw The American Acting Sec
rotary does urge that free govern
ments Of peace-loving nations every
where should even now be consider
ing and discussing the way in which
they can best prepare for the better
day which is to come" 81
From earliest recorded history des-
potism and oligarchy have sought to
extend the personal power of an in
dividual or group. Their rule has
meant government by whim or ca
price, by favoritism OF decree, chang
ing with the winds Of selfish interest.
The rise Of free government and of
democracy has paralleled and exem-
/ plified the growth in human thought
of an understanding of impersonal or
abstract right-the rise of an allie
giance to ideals of justice and fair
ness. This is the unifying loyalty
among free peoples of the earth. 1t is
the force that makes them free and
at the same time orderly.
+ This allegiance not to persons but
to principles, rule not by men but by
laws, devotion to justice rather than
to power must constitute the touch
stone of peace.-Christian Science
Monitor.

Red Cross Workers
Keep Busy Day by Day
lContributedl

(COntributed)
Not much has bene said recently
about the American Red Cross knit
tiers in Garrett county, but they have
by no means been idle.
Mrs. D. Edward Otfutt, chairman of
the ARC knitting in the county, re-
ports a quarter of the third quota
will soon be completed, and that there
are many volunteer knitters in the
county that should be appraised in
terms Of probationary hand.
Take the case of Mrs. Henry w. Nc
Comas, ST.: She has certainly dis
covered crocheting as an antidote
for hot weather ennui by averaging
two shawls per week. Twelve shawls
is her total for the summer and
when asked how she could do
so much, she simply explained, 81
just want to do my little bit for the
Red Cross in this fateful summer
of Al" And her daughter, Mrs. Ed
ward Lawrence, tops speed for knitting
women's sweaters as well as mems,
having up to this date finished nine
large sweaters, and has time, too, to
give to arranging dances for her two
daughters, Ann and Betty, and taking
care of her home and garden.
Mrs. j. NJ Falkenstein, who can
turn her hand to anything" who has
a picturesque garden she works in
every day and who has already knit
over bundle of socks for our draf-
tees, says disparagingly and in her
quiet, sweet manner, ooh, l haven't
done so much yet for the Red Cross-I
am just a beginner" Would that we
had more with her indorhitabe enthu-
siasm that is credible only because
you must believe what you see,
namely: these perfectly knitted socks
she has finished.
Our Garrett County Chapter has
volunteer Of SO years who tried to knit
socks, but had to give it up: Mrs M.
R. Hamill, mother of Mrs. H. A. Lora-
ditch. She is almost entirely blind, but
she works for the Red Cross by wrap
ping yarn and Setting up" socks for
other knitters in the chapter She is
without doubt the most remarkable
volunteer in the county-a genius for
being useful.
And we that are so much better
physically equipped than she (Mrs
HamilD, have a great humane lesson
to learn from her.
Other mainstays in our Garrett
County Chapter of knitters are Mrs.
Loraditch, who has finished seven
pairs Of socks and several little chill
dren's sweaters; Miss Marian Leary,
three pairs; Mrs Harry Helbig, Miss
Floss Shaffer, Mrs. Anna Smouse,
Mrs. Abraham Lawton, Mrs. James
Spencer, all have done more than is
required to become volunteer.
Everywhere in the county one hears
women say: "I'I do my bit for the
Red Cross in spite of the peaches that
must be canned, the socks that must
be mended, the dresses that must be
sewed for my little girls and the but
tons that must be sewed on my little
boys pants!" Even the bridge clubs
are doing it the Red Cross way. The
nights formerly devoted to contract
are nights of knit two, purl three.
There is figurative ace going
into some soldiers sweater instead of
an ace of spades lying wastefully on
somebody's bridge table.

helped little Garrett County Red Cross
