Our old friend of the Delaware Gazette
seems to be propagating some rather re-
mArkabls Democratic ethics anent the
Maine 6asco. His doctrine boiled down is
simply that what it is outrageous in Radi-
Gals to do while in power, it is proper for
the Democrats to do when they gain the
power. This is fighting the devil with a
vengance, but unfortunately, it is the devils
own FIRE that must be borrowed. No other
fire will answer such purpOse.-CecI Dem

Frs-The store house of Mr.. R. Hopper
Smith, at Smiths Corner, about two miles

and package of money he had put up to
send away by express. 1t looks very much
as if the store was robbed and afterward sci
on FIRE. Insured in the Mutual Fire Insur

ing for 1922. and the stock of goods to The
amount Of $3.50.

myth. The matter was brought to GOV
Carrolrs attention, and he unhesitatingl
appointed James A. Coulson to the offiC

this the Democratic Governor of Marylan
has set an example of partisan fairness thu
