SNOW HILL. MD. NOV. 90.

WE are informed that Hon.
William HI. Jackson will not
contest the election of Hon.
Thomas A. Smith to Congress.
Mr.. Jackson is beginning to
realize that he is the Republi-
can catspaw in the First Con-
gressional District. The Re-
publicans do not care anything
about him except for his money
and much of that has gone
down into their jeans instead
of being used for the purifying
of the ballot. 1t is certain that
Mr.. Jackson has been treated
badly by some of those in
whom he has placed his trust
in this county, and it is re-
tribution for him to leave the
Eastern Shore Republicans who
have been pulling his leg so
assiduously for the past four
years, to shift for themselves in
the future.

SOME people and newspapers
are stopping over since the
election with praise of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The MESSENGER
is not one of these. Whatever
expressions you read in this pa
per before the election were the
honest convictions of the edi-
tors and they stand to-day just
where they did before the
election. The majority is not
always right, and in politics
a majority vote does not indi-
cate that it was obtained by
methods which bespeak the
real voice of the people. Four
years of Mr.. Roosevelt will de-
monstrate whether or not our
estimate of him and his policies
were correct.

.GOOD TIMES"

For several weeks we have
been hearing about "good
times" We are very glad in
deed to learn that times are so
very good. 1t gives us pleasure
to know that prosperity reigns
in this section, that crops have
been fine, prices for them all
that is desired, and the good
Lord is smiling upon the horny
handed tillers of the Worcester
soil. This is just as we would
have it. 1t makes us extreme
ly happy, because with prosper
ity lying around in such large
chunks there is an opportunity
for us to get a little chip from
some of those who have been
promising to pay for their pa
per, and who can afford to be
reminded of their promise. They
cannot work the old cry of "hard
times" for there are no hard
times. We still hear ringing in
our ears the promises to pay
when the times get better. Ac-
cording to everybody that time
has arrived and we stand wait
ing for you to come to the cap
tain's office and settle. We need
the money you owe us, and we
had much rather you would pay
us willingly than have to put
the account in the hands of
collector. 1t would be much
nicer for you and for us if you
treat us right and have the re-
spect of the editors, so that
when you come to square your
last account with this earth the
editors may regretfully chron-
icle the fact that a good and
useful citizen has passed away,
rather than remark to the office
boy, "another dead beat has
gone to his reward"
No man ever missed it by
paying for his county paper.
But some have regretted that
they did not do so.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is entire
~ closed, Deafness is the result and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
