HAS THE COUNTY NO MONEY :?

THE Road Engineer tells US that
County Commissioner Griffith has order
ed him to stop road work, BECAUSE
THE COUNTY HAS NO MONEY TO Pay
FOR THE WORK. No money! No
money! We sort of recollect a f1aring
affidavit in the Cecil Democrat of about
a month ago wherein the Assistant
County Treasurer made oath that the
county had no current unpaid bills or
outstanding promissory notes, and also
that there was a credit of the county in
bank, a cash balance O; S31, $50 Sc. We
asked our readers to preserve that re-
markable affidavit, knowing that the
time would come when the people would
have a chance to see what short sighted
politics dict eted 1t. We ask ite people
to continue to preserve it. There will be
more interesting occasions to remark on
1t than this one affords. And then, we
shall make plain to the public the juggl-
ing tactics which made the affidavit pos
sible-but foolish. Meanwhile, does Com
missioner Griffith mean to say that since
November LIST the county has NOT ONLY
USED UP THE TAXES WHICH HAVE
BEEN COMING IN, BUT THE SPLEEN
DID CASH BALANCE IN BANK OF $751;
S20.S6.
We would suggest to the new Eoard of
County c commissioners that for the pro-
lection of their own good name and
record, they make a public statement of
the financial condition of the county at
the very teginning of their official term.

CROTHERS AID NAUSEAM

GOVERNOR CRoTHERS' latest exhibit
ton of himself by way of the newspaper
interview, must be fairly characterized
as the very effrontery of insincerity. The
long list of reforms" which he pur-
poses to submit to the incoming Legis-
lature-many of them-quite commend
able proposals. But as coming from
HIM some of them are distinctly Peck
sniffian. Has Crothers just discovered,
for example, that the State is loaded
up tor DOWN with many superfiuous Of
fic.als? Having been his whole lifelong
dealing in political matters; having been
for four years a State Senator, and lor
other years connected in one way or an
other with State affairs, has he just
made this discovery at the end of his
four years as Governor? While he was
probing into so many Governmental
matters; while he was setting right so
many things that had been egregiously
wrong, did he never feel distressed over
the States loaded payroll until the
sceptre was departing from the hand of
Crothers and no more chances would
come mis- way for paying political debts
out of the public treasury? Put Gro
theirs on the pedestal of an impressive
newspaper interview and nobody could
more httingly command the public's
homage Put him down amongst the
JOB brokers and political place hunters
and nothing could look more like-well
like what he is. If there were an ounce
OF sincerity in his palaver about SUPER
f1uous political appointments, why
didn he refrain from making such
multitude of surn appointments himself
or do something TO reduce their num-
Der when he had a chance? Why didn't
he? Because that would not be the
Crothers way of playing the game. No,
no, ne will Use the appointive power for
all ii is worth-and then some-during
his whole term of Office; and then, with
sanct!monious yisage and bless you,"
bless you,' manner, beg the dear pub
tic to understand that the whole thing
is wrong, quite wrong, and should be
rectined NOW THAT HE is DONE
WITH 1T. 1t is just such stuff as this in
crothers that makes manly men detest
politically, OF course; we know
nothing of him personally, and care less.
The Baltimore News, for instance, thinks
Tor pre,ends to think that 1.-THE party
leaders disposed of Governor Crothers
because they did not care for the re-
forms ant the economies he was en-
deavoring I. Introduce" Perhaps some
of those party LEADERSHIP they good
or had-were MEN, and men enough to
gorge al the evident insincerity of these
reforms and ecoromits, when they fell
from the lips OF public official whose
performance so little squared with his
utterance. We recall the -eu,Ie'
Ophel!a's words to her prating brother:
10 not as some ungracious pastors do
Show me the s.eep and thorny way to
heaven
Whites
Himself the pr. mrose path of dalliance
treads,
And recks not his own rede"

THE GOVERNOR HAS SHIFTED

WHEN Governor Crothers talks of get
ting the Legislature ~ enact a bill nam
ing permanent State Road Commission,
in order to keep the same out OF politics,
his own record disproves his sinceri,J.
Let US bring him to book. Let us turn
back to the Legislature of 1908 when this
good roads movement was being inaugur-
ated. How did Crothers stand then? An
effort was made in that Legislature 10
name the Commission in the bill-a rep
Tesentative non-partisan Commission
AND CROTHERS FOUGHT THAT Eff
FORT BITTERLY. If he wants some in
cidents related, as to certain methods he
used in fighting it, We may teel caled
upon later to furnish him with the same
not but that he is perfectly familiar
with them, but just to refresh his meih-
DRY and to remind him what a way
things done in a corner have of getting
proclaimed from the house-top.
For the present. we simply assert that
he fought bitterly the naming OF a non
partisan Comm! ssion in the Bill itself.
HE wanted to name it, He particularly
wanted to name, for its chairman, his
friend John NJ Tucker as his personal
representative" But now the scene
shifts. There is the possibility OF an
other Governor naming another Commits
sion, of which neither Crothers nor Tuck
er may be member. Hence the Cover
nor's change of base and his deep
anxiety that the Legislature shall take
this power from the incoming Governor
and shall name the Commission in new
Bill. OF coures, the Governor has no
desire that he himself or any of his
friends shall be named on that Commits
sion in said Bill. His one high aim and
purpose is to keep the Commission out
of politics. And some folks will be i'm
pressed by the sincerity of his state
ment AND THEN AGAIN SOME FOLKS
WILL NOT BE. THE FOLKS WHO
WILL BE MOST IMPRESSED ARE THE
FOLKS WHO KNOW HIM LEAST. Those
of us who are familiar with his record
will understand quite we'll just why he
Is SO bent on keeping the Road Commits
sion in his own hands. And considering
the largeness of his Administrative capd-
city. his wide experience in such practi-
cal affairs, his superb record during the
years the work has been under his per
sonal direction" one wonders why he
SHOULDN'T keep it in his hands, until
those hands are folded peacefully to res:
when life's journeys DER. We know of
nothing, save possibly farming, in which
Crothers is more exp~,C than in road
building; why then should not the State
avail itself of his invaluable services for
the rest OF his life? Why should Gro
theirs return TO Elkton to practice law
(perish the paltry thought, when he
might be giving his giant intellect land
pounds OF printers inlO to building &c.
