Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia, is still
hammering away at the ring, his latest
move being one that is calculated to cut
off source of supply of the sinew of
war, which has long helped to lubricate
the Organization machine and make it
run smoothly at election times An order
has been issued forbidding the black.
mailing of city employees by political
clubs and relieving them from the neces-
sity of paying assessments to these organ
izations. The majority of those holding
appointments under the city government
are compelled to join political clubs and
submit to assessments for campaign pur.
poses. These assessments were based on
a per centage of salary received, per
cent, the ring collecting something like
$1,000 blackmail each year by this
means. The cutting down of the corrup-
ton fund of the ring will do more to de-
moralize it and release the city from the
tentacles of the plupderers, than the re-
moval ola few of its men from Office.

poses if it found it necessary to do SO in
order to protect the health, morals. peace
and safety of the people. The Court also
held that the right to sell liquor Is not
one of the rights, privileges or immu-
mites of citizen the same as the right to
sell groceries, clothing or other articles of

Trust Roses.

fThe American Beauty rose can be pro-
duced in the splendor and fragrance
which bring cheer to its beholder only by
sacrificing the early buds which grow up
around it This is not an evil tendency
in business. 1t is merely the working
out of nature and law of God.
The growth of a large business is merely
a survival of the fittest"
The above paragraph is an extract
from an article published by John. D..
Rockefeller, Jr., in which he defends the
present trust methods, and favors monop-
olistic schemes which will enable few
individuals to accumulate vast possessions
and to hold what they get. According to
that gentleman the trusts and the capital
lists are the Beauty Roses" and in
order to produce the Standard Oil COM
pany and other sweet smelling flowers it
is necessary to sacrifice the competitors,
the farmer, the business man and the
working people generally, as unripe early
business buds.
If the government owned the oil it
could furnish it to the consumer at one
cent per gallon, but according to Rookie
feller's logic the law of God requires that
the people be charged fifteen or twenty
cents per gallon so that Rockefeller
Rose" may be grown which annually
takes profit of 500, ooc, 900 out of the
peoples pockets. Mr. Rockefeller is a
pious gentleman and leader of large
Bible class, but this survival of the 6ttest
trust doctrine, at the expense of all the
small competing business concerns, which
be is endeavoring to preach to that class
and anyene else who will listen, is about
on a par with tie practice in certain
heather countries of killing girl babies
because they are not of the ''fittest" sex
in earning livelihood for the parents.
The trust promoters and rich monopo-
lists are not to be condemned because
they possess talent, but they are open to
criticism if they use their ability to &C.
complish selfish ends only, and scheme
to gain unjust advantages over their
fellowmen.

The citizens of upper Cecil who have
occasion to use the roads and appreciate
the value of good highways, will be graf
flied to learn that the County Commits
sioners have awarded the contract for the
completion of the work of matchmaking
the road from Rising Sun to Pennington.
One mile of the road was macadamized
something over year ago and has proven
that it was money well expended. even to
those who did not look with favor upon
its construction, and expected to see it
break through this spring during the
"soft' weather when other roads in this
section were almost impossible. With
the assistance furnished by the State road
fund it is hoped Cecil county will add a
stretch of permanent road, even though
it be but a mile or two, every year to her
system of highways, which are for the
most part about the worst to be found
any place. When the thousands of dol
lars which have been squandered year
after year on the roads in tinkering and
patching are considered, and the results
seen, it is wonder the tax payers
have not long ago demanded that such
wasteful methods be done away with and
little common sense and business judg-
ment used in the administration of this
department of the county's affairs.
With the means at hand-steam roller,
scrapers, and other implements which
are owned by the county, there is no rea.
son why even our dirt roads canuot be
put in far better condition with the same
expenditure of money that is yearly de-
voted to shoveling the refuse of side
bitches into the middle of roads, gen.
orally about midsummer, to make mud
and be washed back again. Taken at the
proper time, before the summers sun
had baked them hard, the scrapeYs and
roller would do wonders towards filling up
the ruts and making smooth highways,
few months in the year at least, which is
more than can be said for the methods
that have been employed in Cecil since
longer than the memory of man.

Chicago to Pattern After Glasgow
In NATURALIZATION.

James Dalrymple, manager of the street
railways in Glasgow, Scotland, where
they are owned and operated by the city,
is to give Mayor Dunno, of Chicago. the
benefit of his experience and knowledge
of municipality owned and operated street
railways, under which system Chicago is
soon to place all her lines.
The city of Glasgow gives Mr.. Dali
rymple absolute direction and control of
the service, and then holds him respon.
sible for results, while he in turn holds
his subordinates absolutely responsible 10
himself. Political interference with his
duties is unheard of. and to this fact in a
large measure is due the success which
has met the managers efforts to give the
city what is. without doubt. one of the
best, if not the best, and cheapest system
of rapid transit Of any city in the world.
The most important heads of depart
ment are suggested to him when vacancies
arise. and they are appointed upon his
recommendation by the Council through
Committee of Tramways, which also
supervises and directs in a general way
the acts of Mr.. Dalrymple; but this super,
vision seems to be of such nature as tc
leave the manager with sense of entire
freedom and individual responsibility, hi:
relation to the Council being PRACTICAL,
that of manager under private com
pany. He has absolutely free hand il
the selection of workmen, motormen
conductors, mechanics, and laborers o
all kinds, and the tenure of these EN-
ployees is solely that of good behavior
as they are liable to summary discharg,
by him without trial. So strict is Mr.
Dalrymple that any one of his employees
who goes into a public-house, or saloon
as it would be called in America, il
uniform. is dismissed.
AS Glasgow's methods are based upor
an experience inmunicipalization extend
ing back nearly to the middle of the pas
century, and have been crowned with
success, they will at least furnish a rea,
sonably safe guide to Chicago.
