There are hundreds OF creamery

OF the provisions OF the law on the
subject OF dairylng and carelessly vio-

that in some localities n good farm

While the people Of the Eastern
Shore of Maryland are rejoicing in a
nice, respectable, automatic Corrupt
Practices act their neighbors across
Mason and Dixon's line in Delaware
are practicing the most shameless
bribery. In the best days Of bribery
on the Shore it has been charged that
more than single schooner load of
votes were bought in on one transac-
tion. But in Delaware the effots by
the Democrats is to buy up a whole
county with a single bribe. The
offer of this bribe was made openly
and shamelessly by the Hon. L. Irv-
ing Handy, the Democratic nominee
for Congress. In an address at
Laurel, Del, Mr.. Handy promised
that if DR.. Roland G. Paynter, the
Democratic nominee for Governor, is
elected he will marry one of the
girls from the county giving him the
largest majority. And if this whole
sale offer Of bribery were not enough,
Mr. Handy further declared that in
the event of the election of Mr.. An
drew c. Gray, the Democratic can
didate for Attorney General, Mr..
Gray will marry a girl from the
cOunty giving DR.. Paynter the second
highest majority. Both of these can
didates are bachelors, and both of
them handsome and winsome. AS
there are but three counties in Del
aware one Of them will be left out
in the cold frost in the event Of the
success of the Democratic ticket.
This adds to the value of the bribe,
and we may expect to see the Blue
Hens chickens scratching gravel be-
tween now and election day. Mani
testify a corrupt practices act is
needed in Delaware. Baltimore Sun.

This is a bad time for the calamity
stump speakers to make an appeal
to the farmers With wheat a 81 a
bushel and corn selling nearly as
high as wheat did few years ago
and with granaries bursting with
both, the farmer is feeling pretty
snug, thank you. OF all classes of
people who work with their hands,
no other class in the world has pros
pered so rapidly as the American
farmer in the past decade. The
farmer, to be sure, is a capitalist in
a small way as well as a laborer. He
sticks to his pillow and is less easily
moved by sudden whims than most
other men. Democratic efforts just
now to make the farmer think he is
taxridden and robbed, fall on deaf
ears. Anyhow, he is too busy garner

Long is hot on VIM. Allen Whites
trail. While he forced White to ac-
knowledge his error in two out of
thirty-five charges, it doesn't necessar-
lily follow that Whites cause is lost.
Long put forth the best there was in
him and checked up the false charges
in convincing style, but wisely neglect
ed to touch upon some thirty-three
other points which were made against
him and trusted that these would be
overlooked in his denuneiation of
Whites error. Long should prove the
falsity of these other charges or in
some way explain his actions (votes),
before asking the people to accept

w. r. Stubs spoke to a fair sized
audience in the G. A r. Hall last Fri
day afternoon. Mr.. Stubs is not an
"orator" in any sense of the word, but
he he is earnest and out-spoken and
gives one the impression that he means
what he says. He may not be the
next governor of Kansas, but it is a

his work of securing cleaner politics
(and politiciansD and the people may
count on Stubs being to the front IN
all political issues in the future.
