GOODBYE TO MeCOMAS

1T must be confessed that the re-
turn of Senator McCDmas to the Bench
of the District of Columbia, with his
consequent retirement from Maryland
politics. hes, been received by Republi-
cans generally throughout the State,
with pleasure rather than regret.
Commenting upon his re.lppointment
to Il judicial position, the Salisbury
Courier voices prevalent Republican
sentiment in this wise:
We believe that ex-senator McComas'
power has vanished and that conse
quently his retirement will not leave a
r,pple upon the political watens Of
Maryland. Nevertheless, the Republican
party will hoave Il sigh of relief when
this Old Mani of the Sea is removed
from its shoulders. Even Il small gun
can sometimes make i load noise. not
tridges-and we are well rid of McComas
without having the dsugreeable job of
snOthering him.

turber of the peace and Il disorga nicer

possibilities; it has great opportunities.
When it says goodbye to McCcmas, it

to retard the advance. We believe it
will lead to victory.

TO CHAIN CECH,S NIAGARA

THE importance Of manufacturing
and productive industries as sources of
local prosperity. has often been empha-
sized in the columns of the Wing.
In fact, Elkton is a living example of
the benefits to be derived from the es-
tablishment Of home industries.
When the late VIM. NJ Singerly in the
early eighties. located hts pulp mills
here and transformed the silence Of Elk

productive pant, that gave employment
to the IDLE. and put into circulation the
regular recurring earnings of its en-
ploye$: he conferred Il greater boon upon
the community, than the expenditure Of
many thousands in costly residences
wCuld have conferred upon it.
The impulse given to the business of
the town was elton followed by the To-
cation here of the Enterprise Machine
