Farmer Boy weds Girl of Wealth.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, January 10.-The mar
riage few days ago of Miss Edith M. Wilbur,
of Oueonta, to poor farmer boy, Herbert
Cole, who acted as her chauffeur through Eu-
rope last summer, is the elimination of a
pretty romance Miss Wilbur, in April, 1905,
fell heir to an estate worth several hundred
thousand dollars, including 1000 acres of
farmland near Oneonta. Last summer she
bought big touring car in Syracuse and en-
gagged young Cole to take herself and mother
through Europe. Cupid became busy and
upon their return the girl took frequent auto

The Baltimore Mayoralty Election.

No municipal election which has taken
place in the city of Baltimore for many
years has been of such vital Importance to
it as the election which will occur during
the coming spring, in which the Mayor and
other important officials will be elected.
And the election there is of importance
to the people of the whole State. We are
in such close relations, in business and
every other way, with the metropolis of
our State, that anything which affects it,
necessarily reflects itself upon us. Hence
we are watching with the keenest interest
the maneuvering for the coming Mayoralty
election.
Baltimore is entitled to have strong and
capable man at the head of its municipal
affairs, and there has never been a time
in the history of the city, when it was so
needful, as now, to have just such man
as Mayor.
Since the great fire of February, 1904,
which devastated the heart of the business
section of the city, and from which there
has been a most marvellous recovery, large
questions have forced themselves upon the
people of Baltimore The Dock improve
ments, the widening of streets, the build
ing of new school houses, increased provl-
sion for the fire department, extensive
paving, and last of all, but greatest of all,
the immense sewerage system which the
city has undertaken.
All these improvements mean the ex-
penditure of many millions Of dollars, and
the city needs for its chief executive one
of the wisest, broadest and most patriotic
and capable men among her citizens.
And there are numbers of men in Bal
timore who measure up to these high
standards. Let one out of this group be
chosen. 1t is certainly no time for either
political party to attempt to play small
politics. Any man who is put up fol
Mayor, to selfshly crafty his personal
ambitions, or the selfish purposes of his
political party, will be beaten and deserves
to be beaten.
The dominant thought with the people
of Baltimore in the coming election shoulc
be the broadening of the commercial i'm
portance of the city, making it so attrac
tive, in every way, as to invite business
men and tourists.
1t is, without question, the natural ane
logical place of trade for all the southern
section of our country, and with its splendie
geographical advantages, should be th'
first city, in Importance, upon the Atlantic
seaboard.
All hail to Baltimore, with the wisf
that she may select the best and most suit
able man in the city for Mayor.
