man, who undertakes to tell the
farmer what to do and how to do
it, is most careful to never invest
a cent in land, and most careful to
make his living out of the sweat
OF the other mans brow. If Aus
tin l.. Crothers had to get,a liv-
ing out of the soil, he might not be
so flip with all sorts OF sugges-
tons that are chiefly useful in in
creasing taxes. If there is one
thing on earth exasperating to an
intelligent, practical man, it is the
attempt of some inexperienced i'm
practical hot air" artist, to tell
him how to run his business. The
next time the Governor under
takes to tell a gathering of intel
ligent farmers just wllar tn.:y
ought to do, let some one among
them offer to sell out to his Ex-
cellency, and see how quick he
takes to the woods. If the Gov
ernor knew as much about the ac-
tual experiences of farming as he
does about political speechifying,
he could be listened to more pat
iently.

WILL GET THE LIGHT

THE Cecil Democrat cont...u,s to ! e.
mind the people that the last Board Of
Republican Commissioners had 70 lul
the tax rae up to $1.20 to meet the I'M
paid bills and notes left over to them
frcm the outgoing Democratic Board
We agree to that fact and expect that
the irc omng Board be it Republican or
Democratic, will have to do the same
thing, for the COMMISSIONERS ARE
TODAY UNABLE TO MEET THEIR
BILLS; AND ARE HAVING TO LEAVE
THEN UNPAID BECAUSE WE HAVE
STOPPED THEM FROM BORROWING
ANY MORE MONEY TO HIDE THEIR
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS. The
whole thing you can be sure, will be
made public and plain, if Republican
Board comes into office. 1t is time the
people were being properly informed as
to how their money is handled by their
public servants.

WHERE HAS IT BEEN SPENT

\ LIFELONG Democrat of the Seventh
district says the publication of the last
county statement has sickened him on
the present county management. He
cites, as an illustration, the figures on
that statement, showing that $6S40.97 was
spent in the Seventh district on it's dirt
roads the past year and he wants to
know what the district has to show for
1t. According to the statement $1S1618
of this amount has been paid to Orion
Taylor, Supervisor, but nobody seems to
be able to discover any thing that has
been done on the roads themselves to
justify the expenditure of nearly $1,000.
The same condition exists all over the
county. The county statement shows
that $35, 941.29 has been spent on the
dirt roads, not counting any permanent
roads or new bridges. Can anybody see
where such an enormous sum has gone in
work on our county roads? That is why
the people are so indignant with the
management of things. And that is why
they are determined to make a change
and make it next Tuesday. The present
Democratic county government comes too
high for the people to stand 1t.

progressive, yet conservative, and never
was caught by "craZes." He had talents
that would have enabled him to achieve
success in any one of several callings.
He might have become eminent at the
bar, as he was a forceful pleader ahn
effective advocate, had he given his life

force of cir lumstances, and few men in

placed the WING. His cheerful optimism
won for him the liking OF the papers pat

SHALL IT STILL BE cRoTHERs

WE don't for the life Of us, understand
how Tom Murray can find 1t possible to
go over to the Crothers people. No man
could have been treated more shamefully,
nay even contemptuously, than these peo-
pie have treated Mr.. Murray, and 1t
seems incredible that he should now be
going to that source for his counsel and
direction. But this only proves the ac-
cuTacy of our prophecy at the close OF
the late Democratic primary when we
predicted that Crothers would soon get
and control the very men who had fought
him. We had seen it happen before. The
present County Commissioners made
their campaign, 1.-TWO of them) on an
anti-Crothers plea, and then went over to
him, horse, foot and dragons immed-
lately upon their election-even holding
their official Board meetings at times In
Crothers' office instead of in the office
provided at the Court House. We un-
.derstand that the present candidates for
County Commissioners are claiming in
certain quarters to be mo Crothvrs
men," just as did Messrs. Deshane and
Griffith. But the fact remains that
Messrs. Reynolds and Hess did not go
into the Democratic primary; their
names were put on the ticket by the Gro
theirs authority and announced from his
office. We rather fear they would soon
be found under his complete direction
and control, and the people of this
county want mo more Crothers in
theirs" 1t is Crothers management, and
rotten Crothers legislation which is driv-
ing the county on to ruin; and against it
all the people will utter their protest
with their ballots on Tuesday.

Rising Sun. Md. Nov | 1a1

Mr.. Editor, Dear Sir:-I see that the
Democratic papers are saying the Demo-
cratic Commissioners were nominated by
the people. They are mistaken. They
were nominated by the Crothers organi-
zation. We have one Crothers gang
commissioner, and we want no more.
And in regard to the $1.30 tax rate, If
the taxpayers would take time to look
back over their receipts they would find
that they are paying just as much tax
now as then. With the assessors going
around every year it is easy for them to
keep the tax rate down-but do they keep
it down? SIXTH DISTRICT.

THE ONLY HELP In SIGHT

WHILE our friends down in Kent are
complaining of their new road law, we
beg to proffer them the sympathy of a
people who are stung by the same
haste" When Governor Crothers, by
the help of my nephew, Mr.. Omar D..
Crothers," enacted the new law for the
amongst those who asked that 1t be
gwen a fair trial before it should be
judged. 1t has had that trial and It Is
no exaggeration to say that orr people
are mos. ready to mob somebody, when
ever they mention the thing. Taxes
have gone merrily on and expenses for
roads and bridges have shown no dis
position to fade away. But what does
the county get in return. 1t gets such a
shameful and exasperating condition Of
our county roads as has never been
known. Residents along many of our
NEST travelled highways will tell you,
and tell you holly enough, that for two
seasons now not a stroke of work has
been done on those highways Ask them
why they do not protest and they will
answer, what's the USE" AS a matter
of fact nobody seems readable with
protests We have County Commission
ers. fin '-salaried road engineer a
whole bevy G. road supervisors, and all
that. But when it comes to getting any
thing definite actually done, the people
sink back in despair and rage. The fact
is we are come to a condition of living
as nearly under no county government
at all as can be imagined in a civilized
community. And there is no immediate
remedy. AS well beat ones head against
granite wall as attempt to reason with
our present county government. We do
not lay this to any spirit of stubborn
ness on the part of the gentlemen to
whom our interests are committed We
lay 1t to their utter ncompetency-their
pitiful inability to meet the responsible
Ties which belong to their official posi-
tons. But that hardly relieves the ex-
ASPIRATION of the situation. Taxes are
something which ought 60 be paid cheer
fully, as a good citizens contribution to
the welfare and up-keep of the order of
things under which he lives. But taxes
are paid with heavy heart, and under
mitch protest, when no proper return
seems forthcoming from their payment.
There seems only one remedy, and that
lies in the ballot box. A disguised peo-
pie must clean out bunch of incompe-
tent officials and must secure the repeal
OF some of these important matters of
legislation which the Governor foisted
upon us by the help of my nephew"
and which have wrought harm and harm
only to this county. And the people will
clean them out, without doubt.

WANTED. BETTER COUNTY GOV.
EMINENT

WE beg to call attention the it-cl
that in this campaign our local Demo-
cratic press has not made a single argu-
ment not advanced the semblance OF
reason for asking anybody to support
their ticket. That statement is perfect
ly accurate. They have most carefully
avoided any discussion of local issues
and confined themselves exclusively to
the cry vote the ticket" But why vote
the ticket? Are there no local questions
to be settled. Are there no charges that
Justly lie against the present condition of
things under the present democratic
rule? We have called public attention
to these things day after day; and done
so because the people of the county have
been for some time full of Indignation
at this condition of things, and their
feelings were entitled to a hearing in
our columns. Eut the local Democratic
press attempts no reply to these just
and well grounded criticisms. For that
we do not blame them THEY CAN
MAKE NO REPLY. They simply shrek
vote the ticket" 1t is the same old
frantic appeal to party feeling and pre-
JUDGE. But its effect is gone, for this
time. People are tired of voting the
ticket, when it brings mem nothing but
a rotten" state of affairs, however
much comfort and coin it may bring to
political henchmen. The day of stale APP
peals to party feeling in local elections
is gone. When a man votes intelligent
ly for local officials, he wants to vote for
improved local conditions. That better
local conditions are needed in our
county nohody disDuteS Even our local
Democratic press has not had the nerve
to deny it or to defend the way things
have been going here OF late.
