Early School Notes

Mrs. w. p. Bennett, who lives on
the former Mosser farm, just north
of town, and who attended the first
school here, says Harry Weimer of
Oakland was the first teacher, who
began teaching in one room of the

on First street, in the fall of 1914.
He did not complete the full term.
Later James Harvey, now of Cali
fornia taught. He was followed by
Miss Leila Taylor, now Mrs. Garrett
Dixon, of Bayard maryland side).
The term of 1915-16 was taught by
the late George Sterling and Stella
Gibson Sturm, now Mrs William Sey-
mour, employed by Woodward and
LOthrop department store, Washing
ton, d. C.
The new two-room school building
was completed in 1916 with Miss
Elizabeth Leary of Oakland another
early teacher, as principal.
Deer Makes Visit
Some excitement occurred on Fri
day when a deer ran down Front
Street, turned and ran through three
yards before crossing the street again
to make its way to the river and to
disappear in the woods south of town.
The shooting by the large number of
squirrel hunters had disturbed its
habitat.

We are of the opinion that the peo-

On the Lowest Level

In this great helter-skelter, heter-
geneous nation, afflicted as it is with
universal, unrestricted suffrage and
a voting population of approximately
$4,000 900, a considerable amount of
claptrap is unacceptable in every cam
paign. All party platforms make
transparent appeals to prejudices and
publicly record promises, the insin-
cerity of which is plain to the dis
corning. Even the very best candi-
dates are compelled to demagogue a
little.
This is part of the price we pay for
our system of government and, de-
spite admitted evils, many believe it
not too high Discouraging things
about the present period are, first,
that demagoguery has increased in
volume; second, it has diminished in
quality; third, evidence that the most
blatant demagoguery pays in politics
has piled higher than ever before.
Competent and detached observers OF
the Washington scene would find it
hard to dispute these facts. 1t is ar
IDENTIFY hoped that as President Tru-
man and Governor Dewey start west
their utterances will lift the contest
to level that will not affront the in
telligence nor degrade the high office
they seek. Mr.. Dewey has done no
oratorical campaigning and therefore
cannot be justly charged-as yet
with such unsavory political strategy,
though there has been certain
tendency in that direction upon the
part of one or two not greatly re-
sponsible persons on his side.
Unfortunately, this is not true of
the Democrats. Perhaps it was in
evitable that, based on the Roosevelt
lines, their campaign should be on a
low plane, as no presidential candi
date every more calculatingly eX-
plotted the ignorance and passions of
the unreasoning than Mr.. Truman's
predecessor. Nevertheless, the spec
tacle of the President of the United
States going the shameful limit (even
if only as an imtator) in effort to
sway special groups of voters, re-
CARELESS of how great the misrepre-
sensations involved or what the eff
feet upon the country as whole-is
really dismaying. The antics and
speeches of the inflamed and unbal-
anced Mr.. Wallace and his Com
munistic third party, though disgust

record of the last sixteen years, this
grade of claptrap and class appeal
does not really pay, it will have been
in the national interests. In any event,
there should be no temptation for
Governor Dewey to compete along
those lines. In 1914, to some extent
he did try to compete New Dealishly
with Mr.. Roosevelt-which was mis-
take. Then the odds were against
him. This time they are the other way.
That should not make a difference
but it always does.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1948-09-23

ing, may be dismissed as unimportant.
But, so far as revealed, the character
of the campaign made by-and for
Mr.. Truman cannot be so dismissed.
1t is easy-and truthful-to say he is
simply, if ineptly, following Mr..
Roosevelt, but that does not excuse it.
For one thing, Mr.. Truman is not
the natural and highly skilled dema-
gogue Mr.. Roosevelt was. Nothing ex-
ly, Mr.. Truman already has gone such
lengths in his struggle for the back
ing Of organized labor on the one
hand and the Negroes in the big
Northern cities on the other as to
merit almost unanimous rebuke from
the Independent press of the country.
The contention of those who believe
the Truman tactics stupid as we'll as
bad is that he might have won the
fight if he had just been himself. In
stead he has been persuaded by the
cheap little politicians around him
that the only way he can be elected
is by corralling the labor union and
Negro votes. in the way and to the
degree that Mr.. Roosevelt did.
These allegedly smart advisers
have overlooked three important
things-first, that lacking his con-
genital demagogic talents, Mr.. Tru-
man cannot perform along the indi-
Gated lines as convincingly or eff
fectively as did Mr.. Roosevelt; sec
ond, that that old Roosevelt game of
both ends playing against the middle
has been played out. 1t is no longer
possible to reassemble what was called
the Roosevelt combination" Even
Mr.. Roosevelt could not do it now.
Third, it isn't necessary for Mr.. Tru-
man to placate the Roosevelt ele-
ment" as the Roosevelt element" as
above described has no choice except
to give him lukewarm support, which
is all they are giving him anyhow.
However, Mr.. Truman appears to
have taken the advice of his poorest
advisers.
At any rate, along with blanket de-
of the Republican Con-
gress, so far his campaign has been
largely transparent appeal to these
two groups organized labor and the
Negroes. To the labor bosses he
promises repeal of the Taft-Hartley
Act and uses their own adjectives in
it, utterly ignoring the |
fact that majority of the Democrats !
in Congress voted for it-and the |
people as a whole favor it. To the !
Negroes, through one of his closest |
aides and advisers, Mr.. Oscar R. Ew-
ing, head of the Federal Security |
Agency, recently made an appeal in !
Richmond so crude and absurd that |
the Negroes themselves resented it.
1t is difficult to see how you could /
put campaign on a lower plane.
Long before the election it is clear !
this strategy has lost MIR. Truman the
vote of several indispensable |
Southern states and arrayed against
him not only big business but little
business-and without getting any
thing like the solid labor support for
which he is so desperately bidding. 1t
is also doubtful whether he will get
a majority of the Northern Negroes.
Many of these will go for Wallace
many more for Dewey 1t is certainly
an unpleasing exhibition. But if, as
result, it teaches that, despite the
