Editor CECIL WHIG,
Dear Sir:-The "Cecil D mocrat" says
the levy has been made, and is thor
oughly comprehensive" While we know
1t is our DUTY as tax payers 10 line up
and repeat in unison THOROUGHLY
COMPREHENSIVE" still some of us
have that innate Characteristic of asking
questions and explanations, and with
due regrets and apologies for the annoy
ance caused the POWERS and the pup
pets, and at the risk of being considered
naughty in speaking when our elders are
talking and planning, WE WANT TO
KNOW how much the County owes the
how much of the $4,000 collected for
the Sinking Fund for Road Bonds has
been placed to the credit of that fund.
in what institution placed, and if bonds
are furnished for ..safe-keepipg of samel
Ilow the interest on bond account (S250O
per annum) stsndsl Did they levy for
that? Give US the itemized expenditures
as levied for, for the year ending June
80, 1910, aud the reasons to suppose that
the tax rate will be much lower next
year, outside of the reason that it is gen.
eral election year; how much of taxes
were still uncollected at the end of the
year, and what will be the approximate
amount Of insolvencies and unsolicited
(based on previous years. which they
have levied $500 to cover?
1t is true the "Democrat" says we can
come up and ex canine the books, etc.
but that israther impraciicable and ex-
pensive for all the questioning taxpayers
to do. What we want is full an Gem
plete statement from the Treasurers Of
fee, 10 which we are entitled. and which
can be furnished by few hours work.
We will then Judge if it be thoroughly
comprehensive" and satisfactory. 1t is
true we get the thousand dollar state
ment shortly before election day, but
the originators, the compilers, the pub
fishers and the common people who are
expected to read it, do not, and never
did, know anything more about the
status of the county's finances after it
was issued than they did before
The tax rate is "delusion and
snarel" Give us the information az sue-
gestedl Let the Comm 'ssioners furnish
it to the papers, and if the substitute d
portion of the county press will not pub
lish it under their contract, am sure
the taxpayers will gladly sanction an ex-
ira expenditure for the purpose.

THE ISSUES MUST NOT BE
CONFUSED

r,E think the recent meeting OIL
w the Republican state Central
w Committee in Baltimore
showed more righteous indignation
than good Judgment III the resolutions
which 1t promulgated. we can easily
understand how TINS assembly OF gooG
citizens could hardly get together Tor
the discussion OF political matters in
this State without firing some hot
shot at the record and reprehensbIe
methods OF the Democratic Machine.
But we cannot consent to the Judg-
ment which attempts to project the
high crimes and mlSdemeanOrS OF the
local Democratic Machine into this
Falls election, where Congressman
are to be chosen and to be chosen on
purely national issues. AS for our
selves, we want to see no such con-
fusion OF tactics. The campaign OF
1911 will be purely State campaign,
in which the paramount issue Will be
the overthrow OF local Democratic
machine whose governmental record
is indeiensible and whose political
methods have outraged the decent citi-
zenship in both parties Let that is
sue come at its proper time. We do
not want it anticipated, discounted and
weakened by dragging it into this
Falls Congressional fight. Such an
amazing blunder seems to us entirely
uncalled iof.
Ii is impossible to dispute the fact
that our chances at this Falls Con
gressiunal election are extremely du-
bious The tide OF popular favor IS
strongly against us on National ques-
tions, just at present. We do not be-
Iieve that the popular feeling. in this
instance, is either just or well-iniorm-
ed We have great faith in the fact
that. when patience has had her per-
feet work, the American people will
come to a iairer and truer estimate of
the present National Administration
We are as ready as another to contri
butte our little share toward securing
that fairer and truer estimate. At the
same time, we realize how hard it is
to stem such tide OF popular disap-
proval and how that tide is going to
handicap our chances in the coming
Congressional contest. We therefore
enter our objection to the attempt to
confuse a verdict on the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff with a verdict on local poll
teal conditions. We object to such
tactical blunders as will enable this
States Democratic Machine to claim
a victory this Fall as an endorsement
Of its local record The two things
are as wide apart as the poles. Thous-
ands Of people may vote for Demo
cratic Congre ssmen this Fall, who will
take pleasure in RELOCATING Maryland's
Democratic Machine to the junk
heap in 1911.
If the Congressional elections are
confined to the issues which properly
concern them, we shall be glad to
do what we can as a worker in the
ranks toward sustaining all Admins
tration which will we think, approve
itself, in the end, to the American peo-
pie. II there is any attempt to con
fuse the Congressional election with
our purely State issues, we shall be
glad to do what we can to protest
against that confusion and to empha-
size to the people that this Falls fight,
however il may evertuate. has nothing

THE LATE S. N. RAUCH.
A Friend Pays Tribute to His Life
and Character.

On the evening of April 26th al
five minutes past eight o'clock an
Angel of Death visited our town and
made choice of Mr.. S. ~ Rauch, a
good and noble christian, who came
into the world and lived 50 years,
devoting has life to the cause he
loved best, which was to walk in the
footprints of the risen Christ. He
was a devoted member of the Luther
an church.
Mr.. Rauch left an example worthy
of being followed by any and all who
desire to live an upright life. He
couldn't have a left a grander in
heritance for his children. Oh, that
each surviving one may receive con-
ISOLATION from this heritage, and strive
to walk in the pathway he led, for
there's beautiful home, where no
parting is known, just across the
shining shore.
Just a few weeks ago we were
made by Easter to think of the first
Easter, and how sad the loved ones
felt when Christ was laid away; and
oh, what pain when they found the
grave empty, but how glad when they
found that Christ had risen.
An inevitable sorrow will always
be associated with the grave, and
we will never be willing to see our
loved ones placed therein. The tenn
porary separation always causes sor-
row, but faith in the fact of Christ's
resurrection should bring comfort
that nothing else can. We hope that
our loved ones graves are empty in
a true sense. For the Heavenly
Father conquered death, and so have
they and so shall we, and we feel
that there is a bright light shining
above the darkness of every grave,
and the sweetest comfort is that we
feel that they've gained the port
called Heaven, where the gold will
never rust. A FRIEND.

SALARIES OF BALL PLAYERS.
How They Have Increased Since the
Days of Cincinnati Red Stockings.

The salary list of the average ma
jOr league club these days is any
where from 100000 to $4,000.
This shows what a wonderful in
crease has taken place in the play
ers pay within the last 40 years.
The old Cincinnati Red Stockings,
which went through the season of
1869 without losing a game, had a
salary list of but $4,000 for the
season, and the players those days
did not have protection that now ex-
lists, and consequently their work
was harder.
Catchers then wore neither masks
nor gloves; in fact, gloves were I'M
heard of, and considering the great
scores that were run up every man
on the team must have been thor
oughly exhausted when the game
was over.
TO receive $500 for a seasons
playing marked a player as a star
or the first water, and yet today the
kings of the diamond receive more
than that for single month.
