Primaries No, 2,

S. c. Rowland member of the State
Central Committee for Cecil county, has
issued call for primaries to be held
Saturday, July 22, at the regular places of
holding such meetings. Mr.. Banks and
Mr.. Macke, the other members of the
committee, refused to have their names
appended to the call, they having been
the prime movers and managers of the
assert was intended as snub and insult
to that gentleman as a candidate for Gov

convention which has been outlawed by
the State Central Committee, of which
Murray Vandiver is Chairman, being in
eligible on account of their irregular APP
pointment, and being without standing

hold primaries under the call issued by
Mr.. Rowland to be held July %.
In order to form ring a chain COM
posed of many links is necessary, and in
winding the chain some of the links are
liable to become buckled and spoil the
ring to some extent. The chain compos-
ing the Cecil Democratic ring has been
badly buckled or "kinked" this summer.
The links appear to have been roughly
forged and left in all unfinished state,
hence the buckling when the ring wind
ing was attempted. The ring makers OF
Cecil lost their most expert ring or charm
maker in the death of the lamented
late Z. c. Crothers, whose natural aptness
in the business entitled him to the dis
fiction of genius as a chain or ring
maker. His successors turn out such
rough jobs that it resembles apprentice
work.
Our political system badly needs the
Initiative and Referendum introduced
into it, but the ring makers oppose such
innovations as violently as the Ephesian
charm makers rallied against Paul's new
doctrine, and for the same reason, that is,
there was much profit i'll making charms
for Diana. Our political ring makers
find much profit in rings to fool the stupid
people, as the silversmith charm makers
of Epesus did i'll the manufacture of
charms in their day 10 fool similar class
who worshiped all idol as dumb as the
party idols worshiped in enlightened
America at the present time.

The Peace Congress assembled at the
Hague, ended without reaching any prac-
teal conclusion. The Congress was called
ostensibly for the purpose of concluding
an agreement among the nations to dis
band and reduce their large armies, which
are eating up and impoverishing the
counties of Europe. 1t would appear that
the most sensible and practical way to
reach such an end would have been to
form all international court, which would
have the power to settle all disputes be
tween nations and compel obedience to
the courts decision by the parties or
nations between which the difficulty
existed.
Being relieved from apprehension Of
attack from neighboring nations, the
countries could have proceeded to de-
crease their armies at will. But appar-
emily no attempt was made to even con-
slider the object for which the Congress
was called. The kind of ammunition to
be used i'll war appeared to engage the
attention of the members to the exclusion
of peace matters.
Having eaten up the countries Of
Europe the great army nations are cast
ing their eyes OIL Asia and Africa, which
they propose to rob and thus replenisl
their depleted cash boxes. Unfortunately
for the United States, the party in control
mediate launching this country on a
similar policy, and joining the bandits OF
monarchy in conquering the Asiatics.
Under this new policy for the American
order to give us standing among nations
as great world power 3"

How the Trusts Reward Their Friends

There were no more heightened fellow:
among the gold standards two or three
years ago than some of the Commercial
travellers. Their salaries would buy sc
much more under tue gold standard low

the salaries of those they retain, while
putting up the price of goods that the
trusts can control monopoly of.

before the industrial commission recently
The following are portions of his ties.

others as travelling agents; $4,000 sales

THE great tobacco companies threw
out about 1000 statesmen; the Continental
Tobacco Co. telegraphed the discharge of
$50 in one day; the baking powder trust
has dispensed with all, excepting half a
dozen men.
''The Bicycle trust will throw ont 600
statesmen and will cut down agencies in
every city; the Chair trust will affect i'm
mediately more than 500 statesmen.
The Union Bag and Paper company
has thrown out of employment hundreds

out OF work because of the United States
Rubber company is 800. The American
Tin Plate company cut off about 90 per

Mr.. Dove said that the trusts had raised
the prices of the commodities they CON
trolled from 10 to 100 per cent in almost
every instance except coffee and sugar.
In these they were still fighting for con
troll of the field. He gave these figures:

QUARTER OF A CENT.
An Estimate Expert, Prominent in
His Department, Commands
a Big Salary.

But all the high salaries do not go to
managers, says Ainslee's Magazine, in
an article on The Big Salaries of New
York" An expert who is prominent
in his own department sometimes earns
q salary that seems fabulous. In indus
tries where profits are calculated i'll
fractions of c cent on each pound of a
commodity produced, the value of an
expert who is as nearly as possible In
faliible in his calculations can hardly
be estimated. In the case of sugar re-
filming this is particularly true Even
though Mr.. Havemeyer once said testify
to an investigating committee that was
questioning him about an increase OF
u quarter of cent pound on sugar:
"Who cares for a quarter of a cent?
it Is fact that one of his highest-sal-
aired employees Is his expert chemist, j.
o. Bonner, who is reputed to be able to
estimate the value of different methods
of refining sugar even unto the third
and fourth place of decimals. But the
ability to make such estimates is not
the sole value of such an expert. In or
der to command the highest salary he
must be able to suggest improvements
on existing methods and develop posi-
biities that would never occur to the
ordinary expert who might be his equal
in making a quantitative analysis.
