Old Graveyard

I read with interest your re-
cent story on the old Baptist
graveyard. Rev. Samuel r.
White, whom you mention, was
my father. The persons you name
broke away from t he Primitive
Baptist Church at Seneca because
they believed in both Sunday
school and missions. Such beliefs
were contrary to the doctrine of
the Old School or Primitive Bap-
fist Church.
During my fathers pastorate,
1S59-1S80, the church was rebuilt.
He kept a record of all mar
riages, baptisms and funerals for
the years 1S59-191S. I have his
record book.
The Bell Keys you speak of
died in infancy. She was the
daughter of John and Josephine
Riley Keys. John Keys was the
son of Thomas and Margaret
Keys.
When was a child, they told
us If we stood by Charles Spates'
grave and called his name we
could hear him turn over and
groan. We firmly believed this
and tried it many times. Many

personally responsible for sending us into war,
war that would mean the almost complete
defamation of our young manhood layinglow
of our beautiful country, combined with all of
the other cataclysmic catastrophies which are in

1t is almost fantastic to realize that the fate
of the people of the United States as far as
war is concerned lies almost solely in the hands
of our Secretary of State, a man who seems
able to sway our Congress and our President to
his way of thinking Secretary of State has
ever done before. 1t does not seem right to me,
that in this democracy, one person. and one alone,

School Board Campaign
Is The One TO Watch
Viewpoints

The school board race will be the one to
watch in the election this Fall.
Other races will exhibit some sound and
fury but it will be in the school board
paign where real hOnest-tOgOOdness heat will
be generated
There are those who actually believe that the
school board has some Communists on it. Nothing
could be more ridiculous. But, nevertheless, one
hears this viewpoint expressed.
There are some who believe the school board
in recent years has had as members wild-eyed
Missionaries, reckless spenders, and people who are
highly irresponsible. This is slightly nonsensical,
too
There are those who are furious with the
school board for having moved slowly on integra-
ton. There some who contend heatedly that
the school board has been shamefully dragging
its heels on migrating the races
This is a county of extraordinary contrasts.
There are intelectuals and their opposites by the
carload, humble searchers after truth and know
tails To please their heterogeneous constituency
is job requiring the wisdom of Solomon. If the
school board has fallen somewhat short of win
ming unanimous popularity vote it is, perhaps,
highly understandable. This is very vocal
articulate county.
Interestingly, the school board itself is study
in contrasts. On the extreme left (for want of
better term are Rose c. Kramer and Lathrop E.

Hyde Has Slight Edge
Over Opponent Foley
An Opinion

Both candidates for Congress from the Sixth
Maryland District last week opened headquarters
here in Montgomery County.
1t may be significant that Wheaton was the
spot chosen by both gentlemen to set up political
shop. In fact they are in the same block, back to
back.
Congressman Hyde, the Republican, is run.
ming for his fourth term.
Mr.. Foley is trying for the second time to
capture this seat in the House of Representatives
for the Democrats who haven't had it since Mrs
William Byron occupied it in the forties She had
succeeded her husband the late Bill Byron, who
was killed in plane crash before the war;
Dewitt S. Hyde first ran in 1852 when j.
Glenn Beall gave UP the seat in the House and
was successful in moving to the Senate side of
Congress.
An incumbent usually has the edge In a
close political campaign And Hyde, as il ap-
pears today, seems to have the advantage.
First of ALL he has six years of experience
behind him. He has an excellent record, although
he hasn't had the break that would make him
national figure. Not many Congressman shine in
the national spotlight unless he is a chairman of
some spectacular committee or has been in Con.
gress 80 or 40 years.
Hyde has been good Party man except on
few occasions. He has been a consistent cam.
paigner. That is, he has never neglected his con-
stituents or the mail they have sent. He realized
that this was an important part of his job if he
wanted to remain in office
Congressman Hyde has managed to stay out
of Republican Primary fights and although this
past one in Montgomery has left the Party bit
divided It doesn't appear that the effects will do
much damage to Hyde's campaign Both groups
are for him and will work separately if not to.

Meet 60 Dogs

= HE Maryland General Assembly is head
ing toward a showdown on how long its
meetings should last each year. You, if you
are a voting citizen of the State of Maryland,
might as well get into the act now. Sooner
or later you're going to be called in to settle
the question at the polls.
At present, the legislators meet for 90
days in the odd-numbered years and 80 days
in the even years. At the long session they
can talk about all kinds of legislation At the
short meeting, they're just supposed to con-
slider matters relating to the general welfare
of the State. That means local, or county,
bills can't or shouldn't - be taken up.
And that hurts lot of legislators because
manv of them put their local interests ahead
of State interests.
After ALL they're elected locally = not
by State voters
A hassle has been going on for a long
time over changing the present unrealistic
alternating 30 and 90-dav meetings to a
point somewhere in between the two and
allowing all kinds of legislation to be con-
sidered each wear. This would involve con-
stitutional amendment and that means that
you have to decide the question The Cen
eral Assembly can't tanner with the consti-
tuition Only the voters can do this.

Der of legislators who favor one or the other,
the issue will be settled that wav. Personally,
we believe that in view of the large amount

Northrop, the celebrated high

teresting solution to Montgomery
County's commuter problem. He
suggests that motorists should be
placed in orbit around the city on
an intercounty belt highway.
Northrop, the distinguished edu-
Gator, now advances the novel
theory that improved teaching of
fundamentals would destroy our

Instead of sending faithful old

John II. Foley, the Democratic candidate
is an experienced and very smooth cam.
paigner. He is about as personabIe as they
come
He IS an attorney who is known as a labor
lawyer because labor unions are his chief clients
Further, it was brought out after the election
TWO years ago that so much of his support work
ers and money had come from labor organiza.
TONS
1t has been said, and fairly well proven, that
Montgomery County, the most populous in the
district by far, is not what you would call labor
conscious. This hurt Foley before and il is ex
pected that it will hurt him more on this political
trip.
Labor, as you might suspect, is not at the
top of its pinnacle at the moment
II John Foley were just Democrat who had
as one of his interests, even the chief one. the
labor movement, there would possibly not be so
mucn opposition. But he has been pegged as
"Labors Boy"
Foley has something else against him that
may not be quite so noticeable at first glance.
Most of his ardent supporters are members of
the minority faction of the Democratic Party in
this county, so to speak. Those who surround him
are identified very closely with the group that
called itself Democrats for 49,"
Some of the more conservative leaders in the
Democratic Party do not seem to be enthusiastic
about Foley and this could hurt him AS mat
ter of fact we suspect many of the old guard
Democrats would rather see Hyde in that seat one
more term, anyway But that's pure supposition
since all Democrats seem to be working outwardly
for the complete Democratic ticket.
The Congressional race is not cut-and-dried
affair by any means, but Hyde seems to enjoy
a slight edge over Foley at the moment.

Honest Petitions

1T is now apparent that the General Assem-
bly, did not err as seriously as some had
believed when it revised State election laws
last year and required candidates for the
Montgomery County school board to pay for
advertising their nominating petitions in
newspapers.
After court arguments last week, Coun-
ty Circuit Court Judge John r. Reeves ruled
that last years new law was Every definite
Candidates must pay the cost of the ads.
The contention of the suit - and of the
new requirements critics - was that the
General Assembly did not intend to require
Montgomery County school board candidates
being nominated by petition to pay to adj
vertise their petitions in newspaper.
Montgomery County is the only county
in the State to have an elected school board.
The legislators overlooked this when they
enacted the Statewide law, it was argued.
Judge Reeves, of course, limited him
self to the law involved - not the intent of
the General Assembly And he found that
the law is plain - the candidate should pay.
1t was a doubtful point, at best, that the
General Assembly would have exempted
Montgomery school board candidates if it
had been aware of their existence The law
was aimed at candidates nominated by petit
ton. And county school board candidates,
of course, are very much in that category.
Brought out at the trial by Attorney j.
Hodge Smith, counsel of the county Board
of Election supervisors, was the fact that
the publication of the names Of petition
signers does, in fact, serve a useful purpose.
When person is circulating petition for
cqhn0I hOord noYdido0u hn &c Y,oSroI
likely to keep it honest, so to speak, and get
bona fide signatures if he knows the petition
is going to be published Sometimes in other
areas the temptation to list few names off
grave markers has been too great to resist.
This, of course, is fraud and required pub
LEGATION of petition signatures is major de-
terrent in discouraging such practices.
Assuming this is a good practice, it is emf
nently logical for the candidate to pay the
advertising cost. He is running as a private
citizen and his costs Of running should be
borne by him - not the taxpayers.
It can be argued that close checking of
the signatures on the petition by election
officials - and discarding the bad ones - is
sufficient. But at the moment according to
last weeks legal arguments, there is no re-
quirement that these names must be checked
by officials.
Even if the law We're to be changed and
this procedure were to be required of cleo
ton officials, there is still no way for them
to know = even if the petition sgner's name
appears on their records - whether that in
dividual died or moved away during the pre-
ceding five years.
The requirement that the petitions be
put before the public does not appear to be
an unreasonable one and county legislators
who are considering changing the law next
year should consider the matter very care
fully.
