How the Immortal Document Was Put
Through Continental Congress.
Although the Fourth is the day that
is celebrated by many as that on
which the immortal Declaration of In
dependence was signed. sealed and
promulgated. as matter of fact such
is not true. The great document was
read to the people on the Fourth after
having been approved by congress, but
it was not signed on that day. The
facts are these
On July . Jefferson presented for
adoption the immortal Declaration aft
er congress had adopted a resolution
presented by Richard Henry Lee of
Virginia, which had been placed before
the body ON June z, 1776 This reso-
luton was as follows:
Resolved. That these united colonies are,
and of a right ought to be, free and in
dependent states; that they are absolved
from all allegiance to the British crown
and that all political connection between
them and the state of Great Britain is and
ought TO be totally dissolved
This resolution was debated for near
ly month and, owing to the absence
OF Lee. who had been called home, the
defense of it fell on his colleague, JEFF
ferson. 1t needed defense, for in that
congress were able men who opposed
Its passage and revolution. Great.
therefore. IL Americas debt to Jeffer-
son and Lee. On July 2 Lees reso-
luton was adopted. and Jetferson's
draft Of the Declaration was adopted
on July 4, 1776.

and Charles Thompson, its secretary,
Immediately signed the document and
became thus the first official traitors

1T has remained for the Democratic

perpetuated, the Legislature would not

more one reflects on this argument, the

THEY SEEM TO DIFFER

THERE seems to be " great difference
of opinion between the Cecil Democrat
and the County officials, as to whether
the county is or is not in excellent
condition for the payment of it's bills.
Some few weeks ago a neighbor asked
us to call up Road Engineer Hines to
inquire why he had ordered work stopped
on certain bad piece of road between
Elkton and Chesapeake City. We did so.
Mr. Hines replied that Commissioner
Griffith told him to stop the work be-
cause 1t was too late in the season. We
at once asked what authority Mr. Crit
fifth had in the matter, under the new
road engineer law. Mr.. Hines then an
swered that Mr.. Griffith said they had no
money to pay for the work and, of course
he (Hines) couldn't go on with it, If there
was no money to pay for it with. A few
days thereafter the School Board notified
the teachers that the County Commits
sioners had not the funds to advance to
make the midwinter payment of teach
ers.
Now, we do not say that the School
Board or Commissioner Griffith or Road
Engineer Hines or anybody else is stat
Ing what is or Is not true. We simply
asked how such a shortage of funds came
about so soon after a campaign state
ment that the county had all its bills
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1911-12-30

and obligations paid with cash balance
of s31,520.S6. This question seems to
have irritated some of our county off,
Gals, but it was certainly very natural
question in the light OF the fact that SO
many things were beiig help up on the
plea of mo funds" But now the Demo-
crat comes to the rescue with the state
ment that there Is no shortage of funds
whatever; that the county is in excel
lent financial condition." having a cash
balance In the treasury on December LIST,
exclusive altogether of permanent road
funds, of $14,S25.24." OF course, we are
glad to hear it and we hope our friends
WILL PRESERVE THIS STATEMENT
FOR FURTHER USE; as teachers and
others whose pay has been deferred will,
doubtless, see it with astonishment and
disgust. And while the people are pre-
serving the Democrats statements of
financial conditions, We have no doubt
the county officials would like to muzzle
that organs utterances. The Democrat
made stupendous blunder when on the
very eve of the election, in its last issue
prior thereto, as what 1t thought very
smart" campaign trick. it secured an
affidavit to the effect that the county
had no obligations and a big cash bal
ance. 1t was one of those tricks that
never pay. We simply, the next week,
asked the people to PRESERVE THAT
AFFIDAVIT-and some good friends have
been throwing fits ever since, knowing the
boomerang would do it's work, give it
time.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1911-12-30
WHICH SHALL 1T BE 4?

THE Cecil Democrat says Commits
sioner Griffith disclaims having told
Road Engineer Hines to stop certain
work, because of the county's lack Of
funds; it says he told him to stop be-
cause it was too late in the season"
Suppose we let it go at that. The ques-
ton at once arises what business Com
missioner Griffith had telling the Road
Engineer to stop work at all. The new
road law has taken the roads entirely
out of control of the Commissioners
They have no more authority over the
engineer, than you or |, or any man. The
county pays a road engineer a fine salary
to superintend the roads. He starts
piece of work, like that, for example, on
the Elkton Chesapeake City road, and
while he is in the midst of it, he is or
dered to stop. The Commissioner has
not a particle of authority and the en-
gineer is paid for HIS Judgment and
superintendency of such matters. But
the engineer stops on the Commissioners
order. Why then the engineer? If the
Commissioner is to issue orders, let him
bear the responsibility. This Is a mix
ing up of things which is not only with
out warrant of law but against every
principle of good management. If we
are to have the Commissioners in control
of the roads, let us have them, pay them
accordingly and hold them responsible,
at the same time dispensing with the
road engineer and his needless cost to
the county. This, we believe, is what
the people want.

WHERE IS CROTHERS' OYSTER
REVENUE

WE note the editorial of the Baltimore
Sun recently, which says, ''The State
gets no revenue from its oyster wealth,
but on the contrary, taxpayers all over
the State are burdenee with portion Of
the cost of keeping dredgers off its tong
ing grounds" At last, 1t seems to be
leaking into the minds of people, who
take the trouble to examine things, that
Crothers has been guilty of talking
through his hat, when he has gone
about the State declaring that the new
State roads would bring no increase in
the State tax rate, because among other
sources of increased revenue for their
building would be the income Of the
been saying for two or three years that
the State was getting no income from
this source, but was per contra being
taxed therefor. People did not seem to
attach any great weight to our charge,
largely we presume, because Governor
Crothers' solemn assurances were so
much more impressive than the citation
of a mere, bald headed fact
While on this subject, how are you
going to explain Governor Crothers
claim that the State tax rate would mot
fact that rate has already been increas-
ed this year by SO 13 per cent. II i'm
pressive newspaper interviews and unc-
tious platform utterances constituted
first rate administrative officer Crothers
would be a top-notcher. Measured by the
right rule, he Is an utter failure.

WHY WHINE {?

WE are surprised to hear the Cecil
Democrat charge our editorial columns
with personal abuse, because personal
abuse" is something from which we are
careful TO refrain in either public con-
troversy or private intercourse. We
wish the editor of the Democrat had have
specified the incident to which he seems,
somewhat mlsUily, TO refer. Can il be
that he regards as personal abuse" our
little pen and ink sketch of his pathetic
attitude outside the door" of the Colds
borough administration If so, we with
draw 1t, of course. We have no personal
attachment, no particular affection, for
that bit of very amateurish etching. We
were only trying, in a humble way, to
add something to what seemed to us an
unfinished effort on the part of the Cecil
Democrat. Its editor had drawn a very
gruesome picture of the way Mr.. Colds
borough had come by ht election and of
the very, very small number of respect
able white men who mad given him
their support. We were especially at
fected by his port 'ayal OF Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough as Slipping IN by the back door,
which had been left slightly ajar," and
thought perhaps it would add somewhat
TO this highly tasteful picture, if one
should sketch into it the dropping figure
of the editor himself, peeping through
that door ajar' at pastures unattain-
able. We only ventured this addition as
SUGGESTION, and say again, as we
said before, thai if the editor of the Dem
ocrat spurns our proffered help, we with
draw it most apologetically We could
not think of rulling the artistic tempera-
ment of any gentleman who can produce
such stuff as some of the Democrats late
editorials on Mr.. Goldsborough and his
political supporters.
But coming down out of the artists
high realm, to the standing place of
common men, We want 10 suggest TO the
editor of the Democrat that lie is hardly
entitled to whine because somebody
pokes little fun at his viruent abusive
Trades on Republican officials and Re-
publican voters. II he cannot siana a
little good hundred punching, he has no
business jumping into the arena with
snort and a brandished club. Anyhow,
he Will have to stand The punching until
he learns to conduct himself with a lit
tie more consideration toward his politi-
cal opponents, and it would become him
better to cut OUT the whining when he
gets what is coming to him.
