Editorial Notes


WHEN the true story OF the way In
which Mr.. Rufus ID. Bowland was
kept out OF the Democratic nominal
ton for Register OF Wills, is printed,
ii will make mighty interesting read
ing. Would the Democratic bosses on
North street like il told?
SOME OF the Rings retainers and
defenders are trying hard TO make IL
appear that we are denouncing the
Democratic party, when we denounce
the little bunch OF Ring politicians
which have usurped the name OF thar
party and are dishonoring It's best
traditions aud its historic standing.
THE only thing to do Is to clean
out the whole bunch" said lifelong
Democrat in our hearing lately. Will
the people do IT'D Will they make the
selfish and insolent Ring understand
that they have gone too far, entirely
too far, when they force the nominal
ton OF some candidates, whose very
candidacy is an insult to the people Of
the county,
is there anybody in this county
from the Octoraro to the Sassafras-
who can give single good reason for
any Republican TO vote for Omar ID.
Crothers for State Senator? II he
gets to the Senate and anybody tells
him how 10 do il. he will vote away
every political right the Republicans
possess. And yet, here he is, button
holing Republicans all over this county
and begging them to send him, AS
THEIR REPRESENTATIVE, to
Annapolis. What spectacle Omar

CANS in the Senate OF the STATED

his cheek. when he thinks about il,

NEARLY EIGHTEEN HUN
four hundred, voted at the recent De-
mocratic primary, in this county,
against the nomination of William L.
Fryer for Register OF Wills and yet
the Democratic Ring leaders, with
LESS THAN SEVEN HUNDRED
VOTES IN HIS FAVOR out OF
twcnty-iour hundred, made him the
candidate. And that is sample OF
what the Democratic bosses and their
organs call the rule OF the people"
Like the three tailors of Tooley
street 'we'-thc bosses-are the
people How much longer will the
real people oi this county submit to
such rule They will have an oppor-
tunity on the Second day of Novem-
Der. next. To end it. and unless all
signs fail. they will end il.
THE Democratic Rings spell-bind-
crS and organs are now begging the
people To- believe that they do not
want To deprive any white man OF his
vote But the record is against them
They have been tampering with the
election laws ever since 1901, and the
present abominablc election law which
they have ioisted ON the people has
succeeded in cutting about one third OF
the white men oi the State out OF
their votes Plenty Of white men in
this county have been cut off, in one
way or another under this election
law This Disiranchiscmcnt Amend
mcnt is simply browning effort OF
the Ring to complete the disfran-
chising work in which they have been
engaged for some years past, and the
wrath al the people is very naturally
and properly aroused against their
schemes.

RAILROAD stockholders

1t Is said that 40 per cent of the num-
her of Stockholders of the Pennsylvania,
railroad are women.
This doesn't prove by any means that
half, or Il quarter, or an eighth, or u
sixteenth of the stock is held by women,
simply that practically half of the stock
holders are women.
The Pennsylvania railroad was or
glnized sixty-three years ago and since
that time it has distributed among it's

a good deal of money, is it not? The
value of IN empire.
1t is noticeable that II good many big
corporations put forth Il strong effort to
secure IL lot Of women as stockholders,
and then when any law is enacted the
purpose of which is to limit the earn
ing capacity Of those great corporations,
they have their politicians throw up
their hands and cry, The poor widows
and orphans" and this defeats the ends
II simple justice.
1t Is We'll to realize in this connection
that the widows and orphans who
chance to own stock are no more en-
titled to pity or sympathy OF aid than
ere the hundreds of times that many
widows and orphans who are not able
10 buy stock.
Dwelling line or two further on the
facts and figures growing out of the
Pennsylvania railroad condition, one
learns that the average stockholders
share in that great corporation is Is
shares. There are 80, 600 shares all
told.
Some of these stockholders own thouS-
ands of shares, and their holdings in
money run into the millions SO that it

reduce the average to rs, must be

perhaps, down to five or ten shares.-
