ElkTON IMPROVEMENT
ASSOCIATION

Elkton Improvement Association mao
its July meeting on Monday evening. The
matter of arranging for a Halloween
celebration was suggested by DR.. w. T.
Morrison. The parade of 1909 was a
most creditable one, and that OF i.s,
year was fairly good, he said. With
proper efforts successful and satisfy
ing celebration, which would ia, /,
bring many visitors to .he town, could
be arranged. The matter was referred
to special committee with full power
to cover all the details of the celebra-
ton. F. T. Whitney said lady had ask
ed him to bring up the matter of the
collection and removal of garbage. At
ter some discussion, 1t was suggested
that the matter be put up to the Health
Ofhcer for the needed action Preside, lit
Haines suggested the propriety of the
Associations cooperating with the
Boards of Trade in the various towns Vi
the State, and on motion of DR.. ]. H,
lamar the executive committee was di-
rected to arrange the mal.ur. M
George A. Diedman, Secretary of the
State Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals who was to have ad-
dressed the Association on the matter of
local branches of the Society, did no.
attend, owing to illness, as was ey
planned in a delayed telegram received
on Tuesday morning. President Haines
presented resolutions in memory of the
late Dr. Charles M Ellis, prepared by
the executive committee, which were
adopted as follows

WAS OUR CRITICISM WRONG

THE editor of the Cecil County
News is entirely mistaken. We
make no attack" on HIM; we
never make an attack on anybody
PERSONALLY. Our criticisms
are directed always at the public
conduct of those whom we may
attack. Did the editor o; the
News imagine that he could retain
the editorship of a bitterly parti
san organ, while filling the position
of Superintendent of Schools,
without naturally and justly expos
ing himself to severe criticism. If
so, he must have peculiar ideas as
to the prophecies of life. We say
again that decent regard for the
fitness of things should lead a Sup.
erintendent OF Public Schools to
stand entirely aloof from partisan
and factional politics. The wea-
'ther may be too warm for the edi-
tor of the News to answer this
very proper criticism, but it is not
too warm for him to fill his col
umns with fulsome praise of Gov
ernor Crothers. This is of course
his privilege as an editor, and It
doubtless suits the tastes q: some
part of his constituency. But
there are a whole big lot of PEG
pie in this county who do not rel
ish the idea of the county's school
superintendent filling the role of
Crothers' henchman. We have
reirained long while from max
ing any reference to this matter,
though the criticisms brought to
our ears have been numerous and
proper we have refrained because
the editor of the News, when he
was appointed Superintendent of
Schools, publicly declared his in
tention to sever his connection
with his paper. He has however
failed to fulfil that promise, think
ing no doubt, that he could DEFY
public opinion, until public opin-
ion would become indifferent. And
therein he proves himself a faithful
imitatOr of his political master.

bene then in Office for six months
and they put up the tax rate Gas
they should have done) to care for
the unpaid bills which they inherit
ed from the Democratic admins
tration that had gone out in the
Fall of 1908. These UNPAID
bills were very numerous and very
large, because the Democratic
Commissioners made a tax rate OF
only 90 in July, 1903, that sum
mer being Immediately prior to an
election. All of which exactly
proves our contention that each
year should be made to pay its
own bills by making an honest
levy and an adequate tax rate
not being permitted to dump a
debt on the succeeding admins
tration by the unlawful borrowing
OF money. But, says the editor OF
the Democrat with a grandilo-
quence that is highly humorous,
I'VE desire to state that the fnan-
cial affairs of Cecil county are in
better shape than they have been
for years" That, of course, sounds
very impressive to the editor OF
the Democrat-but hardly to any
body else. A mere 81 SAY SO",
even from so exalted source will
not carry much weight in this
county today. However, if the
county finances are in such excel
lent shape, the Commissioners will
not in the least object to our en-
joining them against borrowing
money, and they will doubtless
at once proceed to pay that $I9,-
10000 debt which the Democrat
acknowledges, as well as all other
maturing obligations. We beg to
congratulate them on their excel
lent financial standing and shall
do all we can, with the help of the
courts, to keep them in that con-
dition.

ABOUT THAT INJUNCTION

SOMEWHAT indignant at Our
action in having the County Com
missioners. enjoined from borrow
ing money, the President Of the
Board is reported as expressing
the opinion that civilians will
break up both the Democratic and
Republican party" This weighty
opinion from so weighty a source
will, of course, produce a profound
public sensation and the APPALLING
calamity which that opinion fore
casts will sorely distress minds of
the cast of the President of the
County Commissioners. We
therefore hasten to assure him
that we modestly disclaim any
such Samsonian prowess as he as
crlbes to us-also any ambitious
purpose to break up" anything,
EXCEPT A BAD PRACTICE
ON THE PART OF THE OF
FICE OF THE COUNTY COM
MlSSlONERS. We do intend to
break up that practice, so far as
in us lies. And there can be no
question about the propriety of
Our action. The Commissioners
should make an adequate levy, fix
an honest tax rate, AND FROM
THE PROCEEDS THEREOF
SHOULD PAY THEIR BILLS.

bank to borrow money, at any old
