The Prohobifoniets are growing
restive under the yoke that joins them
to the speak-easies. They do not like

companions.-Cecil Democrat.

This war which was begun that
starving Cubans might be fed, will in
the end be found to have been carried
on in order that political favorites may

Delaware's representative should be
sent not for two terms, but SO long as
he can best serve his state like Reed or
Dingley. Who is the man? When he
enters the service he should be young,
at least not old OF course he must be
qualified by education and know the
