PLAYInc THE GAME.

At the opening OF the Legislative
session at Annapolis the Honorable
Sidney Mudd was on the scene and he
declared it the purpose of the Republ-
can members of the present General
Assembly TO play politics. " Now the
Democratic solons at Annapolis should
not forget Mr., Mudd's avowal. Also
bear in mind that the Republican
State Chairman is right on the spot all
the time. No one but the Reform
League win deny that he is playing
politics. although we haven't the slight
est doubt that Mr. Hanna viii say that
he is regularly in Annapolis to guard
the rights of the dear people.
If there is anything in Maryland that
knows and plays sneaky politics il is
the Reform League. 1t is ALWAYS
favorable to Republican candidates
right or wrong. good or bad and never
gives the Democratic party any credit
for anything. Our advice to the Demo-
Gratis Of the Legislature is to reigously
oppose anything wanted by the Reform
League or the Republicans.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

II is becoming well established fact
that good streets increase the value of
real estate in any town; they also in
crease the respect that visitors have for
a town. and causes them to talk about
such a town favorably as they travel
from place to place. And right here
let us say that nothing better has been
done in Snow Hill within our recollec-
of the people of the State than the re-
cent macadamizing of the streets in the
business section. We are pleased to
learn that the City Council will make an
effort to continue this good work. Civ
ing the same treatment to Church street.
Washington street. and other streets
much used among these being Bay
street to the railroad station.
A town meeting held in Salisbury Mon
day night. inspired in large measure
by the business men who have viewed
our improvements. resulted in unani-
nous vote of the three hundred taXpay-
ers present in favor of bonding Sails
bury for $50, 10000 for street improve
ments. Our neighbors of the shire
town of Wicomico do not hesitate to
praise Snow Hill for the progressive
nesss she has manifested in the way Of
improving her streets. and they propose

some money to build a new one. II il
a good business. Queer that the worlc
got on so long without il.
We paint the one that burpt dowr
and the new one too. What is better
we paint the houses that don't burr
down.
You insure the houses that burn; W,
insure the houses that don't. You hav,
the ashes and smoke; all the houses are

We paint lead-and-zinc; Devoe. w,
sell the paint to painters: we don paint.
Lead-and-ol is the old fashion paint.
Devoe is zinc ground in with lead and
linseed oil : the best paint in the world
and the cheapest. because it takes few
er gallons than mixed paints and il
wears twice as long as lead-and-oil.
Nobody wants poor paint; there's lots
of it. though, in the world.

THE CIGARETTE LAW.

We heartily commend Senator Goulds-
borough's anti-cigarette law. We know
the Senator personally and know him to
be kind and considerable gentleman,
an educated and competent practicing
physician. and when he says the Gig
arctic. sometimes known as the coffin
NALL is a very bad thing and ought to
''go, then we accept his Judgment.
and say let it go quickly. No one but
the manufacturer will be injured. and
he can put his tobacco up in some other
form. We do not believe in interfere
ing too much with the personal liberty
of a man. but we can conscientiously
advocate this law because it does not
deprive man from smoking tobacco.
1t does not say he shall not smoke. We
deny that any man shall dictate that
we shall not smoke. but we welcome
his right 70 say that we shall not have
bad smoke.
Nearly every physician advocates the
determination of the cigarette. most of
them are smokers of the weed in some
form. and we bow to their superior
Judgment We noticed DR.. Fulton of
the State Board of Health had some
thing to say on the subject the other
day. and if our memory serves us right.
he was not advocating the determination
of the cigarette. Perhaps our good
friend has weakness he cannot over
come very readily. for the last time we
saw him he was rolling cigarette very
theoretically. We feel sure that he
would soon get used to a good pipe or a
fragrant Havana.
Regarding his proposed law Senator
Gouldsborough says:
my object in introducing an anti
cigarette bill was not primarily to inter
fere with the smoker who had reached
the years of discretion, though ! am
confident they are harmful to anyone
who uses them. but to protect the boy
who takes up the habit usually through
spirit of braggadocia have become
tpIlN ltltttl, ilONtNtIs THAI lft OiilN way
to protect the boy is to eliminate the
cigarette from our State. as the pres
ent law restricting their sale to minors
has been ineffective.
IL have made the effects resulting
from the use of cigarettes study Cor
the past four years, and, as a physician,
do not hesitate to say that | believe that
there is no faculty which the cigarette
does not affect deleteriously. Invariably
have found someone or more of the
senses seriously impaired. My observa-
ton has shown that it tends to wreck
the nervous system. making the indivi-
dual restless and irritable, and | have
never examined cigarette smoker
whose heart action was not accelerated.
On investigating the conditions in the
public schools have found, without ex-
ception, that the boys addicted to the
habit are the sluggards, not only in
their classes. but also on the athletic
field. Again my experience has been
that a man rarely contracts the habit
after reaching the age Of maturity, but
becomes enslaved in youth and then has
not the will power TO stop. though, as
rule. admit their i'll results and express
a desire to do so.

BoTH the Alabama Senators are can
didates for reelection. Senator Pet
tus, whose term will expire in 1909, is
eighty-four years old Senator Morgan,
whose term ends in 1907. and who has
served continuously since 1877, is eighty
one years old. Both gentlemen are in
good health: both are men of unques-
toned ability and probity; but it is
hardly probable either of them will be
returned. Alabama will be fortunate
indeed if in choosing their successors
she can maintain the standard of Sena-
torial choice she has set for herself and
for the country.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

The Worcester members Of the Legis-
lature desire us to inform the people
Of this county regarding the proposed
Compulsory Education Law If passed,
the law will require all children in the
State between the ages of eight and
twelve years, who are not attending u
private. denominational, or parochial
school. to attend public school for
ninety days in each school year Our
representatives desire to know the senti-
ment of the people on the passage Of
such law. and invite you to commune
cate your views to them on the subject.
We will start out now by saying to
these gentlemen, that education is such
a good thing that everybody ought to
have as much as they can get. within
reason. and no man has right to bee a
father who cannot allow his little child
the privilege of going to school at least
ninety days in the year. and the opinion
of man that would deny his child such
an opportunity is not worth having.
Now. let us have some Legislation by
which certain portion of the taxes
paid by white taxpayers will go toward
the maintaining Of white schools and
the same proportion paid by colored
people go toward educating colored chill
dren. This will be great help to both
races, as ii will cause the one now de-
pendent on the other for erer4thing to
strive TO become self-supporting, and
in the end it will succeed
