The Board of Supervisors of Acco-
mac. in making an appropriation OF
& 800 at the meeting on wednesday
for an exhibit of the products OF the
comfy at the jamestown Exposition,
discharged a duty which will be COM
mended by the people generally OF the
resnectiye districts whom they were
elected to serve. The appropriation
is the largest that could have been
made bv the Board under a recent act
of the Legislature and the decision
it is gratifying to state, was made
with the hearty approval of each
member in every district of the coun-
tv. That their action in the matter
has the unanimous approval of the
people of the county there seems to be
no question. No one, at least, ap-
peared at the meeting, advertised In
all the county papers for several
weeks, to enter protest against an
appropriation and no tax payer OF the
county. so far as is known, has ever
uttered a word of disapproval of it..
Several prominent citizens of the
county, though. despite the Indictment
weather on Wednesday were present
to urge the Importance of an exhibit
by the county and the necessity for
an appropriation to that end.
The fact, that no one disapproves
the appropriation is to the credit OF
the intelligence of our people but now
that an exhibit at Jamestown is as
sured. we must realize that care is
necessary if we would have an exhibit
that is worthy of us. In what way
that can be best accomplished we dc
not know, but 1T seems to be generally
understood that We can hope for the
best results if there is concert of ac'
ton in the matter on the part of the
Board of Supervisors of the two coun
ties and the Eastern Shore Produce
Exchange, and this we take it fol
granted will be done. With the in
terests of the two counties so identica
there can be no reason why they
should not have an exhibit together
and its people surely have the RICH
to expect, if they do, that the reve
nues of the Exchange, in which thu
most of us have an interest, may b'
used in reasonable limits to assure
creditable display of their products
1t seems, at least, to be the only wa,
in which the appropriations made b,
the two counties can be supplemental
to the extent, that is necessary, t
make our exhibit at Jamestown sue
cess.

CITIZENS TO RULE FRISCO
GRATING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE
UNDER NEW PLAN.
Government Said to Be Assisting Re
formers-Labor Asks Prosecution
Of Bribers and Takers.

San Francisco, March 25.-It is said
that the city government of San
Francisco is to be supervised by a
citizens committee if the plans of AS
sistant District Attorney Heney and
other representative men of the city
are regarded with favor by the people.
The intention is to render grating
impossible. The citizens committee
in order to make it's work more eff
fectual, is to be a regularly incorpo-
rated body. It will place a represent
alive in every municipal office, who
will act as a sort of auditor of &C.
counts. Any discrepancy or irregu-
larity will be noted and reported and
the official will be called to account. A
representative will attend every meet
ing Of the board of supervisors and
will investigate its acts. The record
will be made public. The national ad-
ministration has offered to cooperate
with the local reformers and Secre.
tary Straus of the department of com.
merce and labor, is assisting the
movement. Mayor Schmitz will be
asked to resign.
By a vote of IS to Z, resolutions
were adopted by the San Francisco
Labor council condemning the munich.
pal government and officials who have
betrayed their trust, and calling for
the vigorous prosecution of every
bride giver, as we'll as the bribed Off
Gals. The council repudiated the
Union Labor party, reiterating it's pc
sition that the labor council is aabody
in no way affiliated with politics, but
organized purely for economic pur
poses.

would stimulate their growth. Old
