TAFT AND SHERMAN.

One Of the Williams was
bound to get the Presidency
Hon. William Taft is the win
ner by a big majority We trust
he country will be prosper
Gus under his administration.
We hope he will make better
President than we believe he
will. If he follows the policies
and advice Of President Roose-
Welt we believe he will 20
wrong.
1t is evident by the support
that was given him by certain
men who are not friends Of
President Roosevelt that they
do not expect him to DO things
that Roosevelt has done.
Mr. Taft has promised that,
if elected, prosperity would re-
turn to the country. We can
not understand why a party
which claims TO have prosperity
in its grasp to do what it pleases
with should withhold it from
the people, and why the Re
publican party, if it could help
it should allow business to tie
con the bum like it mas been
for the past year. We sincerely
hope the people have not been
fooled and that Hon. William
Taft and his party will endeav-
or to bring relief to the million
or more working men who are
out of employment

victory in 1912. There is no
doubt that Mr. Bryan has the
largest personal following of
any man in America. There are
thousands of voters who went
to the polls last Tuesday to vote
for him as IL matter of love and
affection. There are thousands
who feel that his defeat is due
to an immense corruption fund =,
intimidation and other nefar-
ious means To subvcrt the will
of the people.
But ii is an over. The bat
tie is lost and a righteous man
has gone down to defeat. The
cause for which he fought will
live ON and grow in magnitude
until the people will sweep
away with their might the
Trust barons, who are oppress-

THE ELECTION IS OVER.

Now that the election is over
we should all get down To bust
ness. Two elections have been
held in Worcester County with
in one year. The people have
something else to attend to be-
sides politics, and Judging from
the expressions we hear on all
sides, they have had enough
this year to last for a number
of months We hope the coun-
try is safe. We know that the
First Congressional District Of
Mary land is safe in the election
of a man who can represent the
intelligence of worthy and
proud people, people who
have held down their heads for
several years with shame 20
acknowledge that a man of the
caliber of William II jackson
represented them in the Nation
al House of Representatives..
They can now hold their heads
up in the knowledge that Hon.
James Harry Cov;ngton can
and will REPRESENT THEM.
The Eastern Shore has de-
monStrated that the influence
of the Baltimore newspapers
amounts to nothing here. The
people of the First COMPRESSION.
al District do not take orders
from anybody They know
what is for the benefit Of the
country just as we'll and better
than do the managers Of the
Baltimore papers. for they are
in closer touch with the masses,
and their motives are not con
trolled by financial greed

TWELVE HUNDRED IN PANIC
Black Hand Rumors Cause Frantic
Rush of Pupils.

Chicago, April 27-Twelye hundred
pupils of the Edward Jenner public
school fed panic stricken to the
streets when a report spread through
the building that three members of
the BLACK Hand" society had placed
nitroglycerin bomb in the basement,
which was timed to go off at 3 o'clock.
Although teachers in the twenty
five rooms made every effort to form
fire drill lines and to quiet the frantic
children they rushed pellmell down
the three flights of stairs, trampling
over one another In their frenzy to
get out of the schoolhouse Several
of the smaller children narrowly es-
capped serious injury In the rush for
the doors leading to the streets.
Parents who hurried to the school
to rescue their children from the ex-
pected disaster added to the con.
fusion. 1t was only through the eff
forts of the teachers and the bravery
of Engineer Frank Smith and Janitor
Leonard Moore, who stood at the main
entrance of the building picking up
those who were knocked down in the
rush for exits, that no one was in.
jured fatally in the panic
For two hours after the building
had been cleared of the boys and
girls frightened parents crowded the
streets around the structure waiting
for the expected explosion and threat.
ening vengeance on the Black Hand
society. Not until a squad of police
arrived In response to a call from
Principal Frederick ]. Lane was the
crowd dispersed.

MEAT SALES FALLING OFF
Consumers Apparently Substituting g
Other Foods.

Chicago, April 27.-Public protest
against the high prices prevailing for
fresh meat, particularly beef and NUT
ton, is taking form little to the lik-
ing of the wholesale and retail deal
ers. Not In many years has the pub
lie generally objected SO vigorously to
the extravagant values they are called
on to pay for meats. The result has
been curtailment of the consump-
tion on q scale not deemed possible a
few months ago.
Meat statesmen all over Chicago, as
well as In other large cities, assert
that their trade has fallen off SO per
cent in the last month The same
complaint of poor demand Is heard
from Slippers of live cattle and dressed
beef to New York and other Eastern
points.
The consuming public has evidently
unwittingly taken the only course
that will bring about lower prices
and, by the substitution of other foods
for the higher priced meats, is caus-
Ing the meat dealers to sit up and
take notice.

accompanied by his mother, who was
heavily yelled. They drove in a
closed carriage from the Necessidades
palace to the monastery, a regiment of
cavalry acting as escort. The entire
route was lined with municipal guards
and policemen. Flags throughout the
city were lowered and guns from the
warships and forts doomed at inter
walls during the service. Admittance
to the monastery was restricted to
persons provided with cards and each
householder along the streets from
the palace to the church was held re-
sponsible for the occupants of his
windows. The attitude of the people
on the street to the king and his
mother was respectful.

Counting on no support from the

ty-six Republicans. Those who have
been making a canvass of the majority
side have not yet fully ascertained
that enough Repablican votes to pass
the Vreeland bill are assured, but. the
work of polling the members will go
on for the present. The leaders be.
lieve that some Democratic votes can
be secured for the measure, after an
opportunity has been given to the mi
nority to fulfill their party obligations
by voting for the Williams bill This
bill, of course, cannot pass and those
on the Republican side who have the
VreelaDd bill in charge believe that
with what strength they can draw
from the minority, added to the
strength already assured and to be
obtained on their own side of the
house they will be able to put the
bill through.
The senate is willing to accept the
Vreeland bill and put it through with
perhaps a few minor amendments af
| fecting the clearing house clause In
lieu of the Aldrich bill. 1t is prob
| able that the conference of Repub
lican members to be held in the near
| future will determine the passage OF
the Vreeland bill in the house with
| an added amendment providing u
| the creation of a currency comm 3
| sion which also would be satisfactory
