Praise For The Governor.

The Baltimore Sun of Saturday, Aug.
IS. contains an editorial praising the good
work being done by Marylands Chief
Executive, who is giving every promise
of making good" The following is
from the editorial in question:
"Mr. Crothers has now been in office less than
eight months, but in that time he has managed
to live up to his ante-election promises. He has
manifested himself to the people as 4 working
Governor. There is one kind of Governor who
is merely routine man, who attends to all the
regular routine duties of his place, perhaps faith
fully, and with decorum Such men ottentimes
lack initiative and originality of thought. This
is not the kind of Governor that Mr.. Crothers has
shown himself to be. He has, from the day he
took the oath of Office, given almost his entire
time and thought to the duties OF his place. He
has studied how toimprove the administration Of
the State government; he has made inquiries into
prevailing methods and has asked whether they
were the best that could be adopted
In his speech accepting the democratic nomi-
nation Mr.. Crothers pledged himself to do what
he could for the material betterment of the State
and especially in the improvement of the high
ways. This pledge he has kept faithfully He
did not rest until the Legislature had made pro.
vision by law Tor this improvement. and he is
now engaged in carrying out the law and making
roads. No greater boon has been given to the
State in many years than the road law of 1905.
and 1t is to be executed by commission of the
highest efficiency. All during the session of the
Legislature the Governor was urging the re-
demption of party pledges in good faith and the
economical use OF public money. He
Is now trying to discover how the cost of the Iess
lature may be reduced and how the supplies for
the various State institutions can be purchased to
better advantage.
Nor is the Governor content with working for
public economy. He has the general welfare of
the people at heart AS far AZ we
have gone, the democratic party has had no cause
to regret the nomination OF Mr. crothers as their
candidate for Governor, nor have the people had
any cause to regret that they elected him.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1908-08-21

Things political are beginning TO show
more life. A vice presidential and presi-
dental candidate were formally notified
the fore part of the week, while the two
Presidential Bills are scheduled to make
political speeches on Friday. Republican
Vice Presidential candidate Sherman was
notified on Tuesday that his party wants
him to fill that chair at Washington, and
the same day the prohibitionists told F..
w. Chain they would like to see him
move into the White House when Mr..
Roosevelt moves out. Mr.. Taft will tell
the Virginia republicans all about the
issues of the campaign from his stand
point on Friday, while Mr.. Bryan will
be expounding democratic doctrines to
a listening multitude at Des Moines,
Iowa, the same day. The political pot
has begun to boil throughout the country,
and will be kept hot from now until
election day.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1908-08-21

The Baltimore Sun has finally shown
itself in its true light as deserter, and
come out openly against the democratic
party. Bryan's supporters are glad the Sun
has at last come from behind its mask.
Never Bryan advocate at heart, this de-
sertion ofthe party by the Sun occasions
nosurprise; nor is it a new thing for ii to
desert, as its past history proves. No
doubt fen democratic voters in the
State will stick to Bryan. despite the fact
that the Sun in all probability expects,
and hopes, to take the party bodily with
it into the republican camp, where it is
now grooming itself and keeping solid
with the moneyed interests.
