stupid blunder the newspaper has
made in it's account of our silver we'd
ding! Don't you remember l wrote it
out for the reporter that we had spent
together twenty-five years of married
happiness, and the stupid typesetter
has gone and made it twenty-five years
of married happiness. Isn't it awful?

betrothal to the man not of her choice,
but whose choice she is. She has to he

ceremony can take place.
As soon as the betrothal takes place
she Is taken to a room and there

concluded. Silver shackles are fastened
round her wrists and ankles. and the
task Of her parents and future hus-
band Is to increase her bulk till her

Off the bargain or waive the condition.
In the case of bachelor he takes care
to see that the bracSets and anklets
are not too large--that is, if he is fond

The Appeal has worked itself up to
such high state of enthusiastic excite
ment over the benefits of the liquor license
system, as to almost lose sight of the fact
that it has heretofore been preaching a
distinctly protective tariff brand of pros
perity, and this week seems willing to
give license share of credit for the pro-
motion of the general good times and
business prosperity of the county The
Appeal is careful not to say exactly that
license has caused boom throughout the
county, but points to things that have
been done during the past three years
under the License SYSTEM" even to the
erection of a fine church, made necessary
doubtless to help com at the work of the
licensed saloons. The purpose of the
paper evidently is to try and trick its
readers into giving the system credit for
furthering the Improvements made in the
county and when challenged to prove how
and why license has been such help in
promoting good times, sneak out of it
through the loop hole left, like stray

torial serves to show to what straits the
whiskey advocates are driven i'll their
attempts TO bamboozle the voters, hoping
by these and similar means 10 foist their
restrictive" measure upon the county
for another period of four years, before
the expiration of which time they would

A Revelation.
Editors midland Journal:

Editors Midland Journal.
have always labored under the impress
sion that the good times we are, and have
been, enjoying are the direct fruit of
Republican prosperity or at least we have
had the most emphatic assurances, from
the EkktOn appeal and others of its ilk,
to that effect. What an astonishing rev.
citation is it, therefore, to have no less
eminent authority than this same appeal
come forward this week and completely
refute this fallacy by making known the
truth that it is the licensed rum that has
wrought this wonderful work, not Repub-
lican prosperity.
In an extended editorial, Editor Post
assures us it is the license system which
has kept the pulp mill, fertilizer factories,
foundries, weave mills, and boat yards
running on full time, has mended roads,
laid pavements, started bank, and built
church at North East, and is going to
dig channel at Elkton. He says these
are stubborn facts and no matter how the
sentimental, even though honest, advo-
Gates of NoLicense may view the situation,
they cannot be changed. He assures us
that under License business will not only
continue good but will improve, whilst if
No License carries everything will retro
grade. We wonder this discerning editor
made the grievous oversight of overlook
ing so much of the good work License
has wrought. What under the sun made
him confne the enumeration of the sys.
TENS benefactions to the few examples he
| cited? He only thought of one church
that it has erected when there are no less
than six or seven that have been built, re-
built or repaired during the past four years
of License. At Port Deposit the Presby-
terians are building very fine edifce.
Hopewell, Ebenezer. Rising Sun, Bethel,
Elkton, Rock and West Nottingham, have
all been renovated, repaired or re-dedicat-
ed and Perryville NJ E. church has paid
off big debt, aud yet he was so -emiss as
not to give License the credit.
Think what terrible thing it would be
for the county if the United States govern
ment should learn that No-License car
ried next Tuesday and should withdraw
the appropriation for Elk river. What if
Mr.. Dirrickson, the gentleman who is
coming from some place way down on the
Eastern Shore, should learn of the dire
calamity that had overtaken us and refuse
to go OH with the Bank at North East
that he is just about starting, because
there was no license in the county. Then
again, why didn't Mr.. Post cite the two
other banks that License had started, the
National Bank of Port Deposit aud the
National Bank of Chesapeake City.
Truly, he let much escape his attention.
Seriously now, do you think you have
sane reader who would like any one to
so far discount his intelligence as to be-
lieve that he believed any such "rot p"
l would be ashamed TO have any such
trash as that go from my pen and have
the people believe that was fool enough
to believe that any one else was fool
enough to believe it.
Yours,
APPEAL READER

Vote " against License"

On Tuesday next, the 4th day of No
vember, the voter of Cecil county will
again have the opportunity of saying by
his ballot whether or not the licensed sale
of liquor shall be permitted in our midst
for another period of four years. He will
by his ballot endorse or reject the law at
present in operation.
If after having seen the workings of
this law he can conscientiously say it has
proven success as a restrictive measure
for the regulation of the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors, aud that under its provisions
the best interests of the county have been
subserved, from material as we'll as a
moral standpoint, then let him vote for
its continuance.
But on the other hand if he believes
that the licensed sale of Intoxicating
liquors in the county has proven detri-
mental in any respect to his welfare, or
that of his fellow citizen, that it has in
terfered in any degree with the enjoy
ment of that peace and quiet to which,
by the statutes, he and his neighbor are
entitled, and would enjoy but for provis-
ions permitting or resulting in certain
annoyances directly ascribable to the law,
then should he vote against its contiu.
uance and for the measure which prom
ises relief. Let him look at the record
he In, h. g.. 4,
ing its operation, and he will find that
numerous Of its provisions have been yio-
lated with impunity, that it has promoted
certain conditions which have tended to
destroy his peace Of mind and welfare,
that it has by its provisions permitted
the establishment and maintenance of
places and resorts which are public
nuisances and detriment to neighbor-
hoods and menace to the people. Then
let him not vote to continue this law,
which by the fact of the occurrence of
these things has proven itself a failure
and thereby forfeited the right of his sup
port, but for that law which promises
him more nearly a condition of affairs
under which he may pursue his liyeli-
hood with the greatest sense of security
and happiness. That condition can most
nearly be brought about in our county by
the defeat Of the law permitting the pub
lie nuisances, which in this case are the
licensed saloons, and the placing in op-
Grafton of prohibitive law. Voter, look
to your interests and the welfare of the
county, by casting your ballot against
license" on Tuesday, November 4th.

Prohibition.

When you hear tax payer say that
license helps to lower the taxes of the
county by the revenue derived from
the fees, tell him that such is not the
case; that the average tax rate has been
higher under license with its additional
revenue to the county in fees, than under
prohibition; prove it to him by figures
taken from the county records. These
figures show that under the years of
prohibition, from 1881 to 1890 and 1895 to
1898, the average tax rate of the county
was .764, while under the years of
license, 1891 to 1894 and 1899 to 1902, the
average tax rate was 1874. Show him

payers unite i'll remonstrance they can

Cecil Democrat.
In order to demonstrate how much
weight petitions of remonstrance have in
excluding hotel from a neighborhood,
the action ofthe Liquor License Board on
the protests received from time to time, is
given, as shown by the published reports
of the proceedings of the Board:
The official board of the M. E. church
at North East protested against the
Thomas Hotel in that town on the ground
of its nearness to the church. License
granted, protest not being deemed suf-
ficient The School Board protested
against the Lofand House at Cecilton on
the ground OF its nearness to the school.
AS two other licenses had been granted
i'll the First District. the application was
turned down. An Elkton lady protested
against licensing any hotel in that town,
but the objection was not considered suf-
ficient. A long petition was filed from
citizens of the Ninth District protesting
against hotels in that District. Two H.
censes, however, were granted for the
Ninth.
The records will doubtless show other
protests received, but the foregoing have
appeared in the published proceedings OF
the different meetings of the Board.
