in the automobile traffic between the
North and South; and lastly but not
least, the State of Maryland. We rather
think it would be good policy for the
State to take hand in the building of
this road, as a matter of State pride, for
the States good name and fame, mas
much as 1t is the most natural and direct
route for main Highway through the
State. But none of these reasons hold
good, when it comes to asking Cecil
county to appropriate a large sum of
road money for any such purpose. The
people whose taxes would have to fur
nish this money would be little benefited
by the road. Its chief value would be
to those who, merely pass over the route
as transient travellers. Our own people
would find it of little or no use for mar
keting their crops or other commercial
purposes; and while SO much vastly more
needed road improvement is being called
in no humor to tolerate the expenditure
of large sum of money for the accom-
mediation of foreign birds of passage. We
have no doubt but that the forces back
of the project will push it by all the arts
and influences at their command. 1t is
therefore important for our Cecil county
people to make the Commissioners un-
derstand that the project does not meet
the taxpayers approval, so far as it
calls for any large outlay on the part of
this county.

WATCH THIS PROJECT

THE people who are furthering the
n ovement for an automobile road through
this county from Perryville to Elkton,
should understand right now that Cecil
county will not expend $4,000, or any
other such considerable sum, on that
roads construction. There are several
parties in interest, who may very prop
erly be contributors to a fund for it's
construction as e. a. the Havre de Grace
and Perryville Bridge Co, which would
be large benefciaries of such road; the
Automobile Club OF America which il
pushing the project as a connecting link

1T MAY BE BEST

WE are not prepared to agree
that it is an unmixed evil lor tile
State of Maryland to find itself
with a Republican Governor and
a Democratic Legislature. Such
an unusual situation is doubtless
quite disconcerting to the profess
sional politicians and their hang
ers-on; but it may be decidedly
beneficial to the States real in
terests. We have just had the I'M
happy experience of a very differ
ent situation-one wherein a De-
mocratic Governor was hanked
by an an Overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic legislature. The result has
been veritable riot of extrava-
gance and the most disgusting
job-brokerage. Such an experl-
ence cannot well be repeated with
the Governor and Legislature re-
presenting different political par
ties. On the other hand we do
not anticipate any serious OBJ
struction when it comes to the
consideration OF measures that
really make for the public welfare.
Such measures are likely to be
viewed less from a partisan stand
point, and more from the. intr1n-
sic merit, than if the whole adj
mlnistration were a one-partv af-
fair. 1t is all very we'll to talk of
government by parties, but we
prefer to put our trust in govern
n1ent by men. Anyhow the pres
eent situation, politically, in our
State will afford a chance for the
testing of our doctrine. The peo-
pie, we think, will soon be able to
Judge whether those, responsible
te~ the administration OF affairs,
are partisans or men, are playing
politics" or regarding public SER
vice. With bi-party admins
tration it will be difficult, if not
impossible, for things to be done
in a corner. The people will be
given to know she why and
how of every move, and the peo-
pie will judge accordingly. We
have no fears for Mr.. Golds1ror-
ough because he is placed in
painful situation Mr.. Colds
borough is no novice in public "a
fairs and we have not found him
a spineless nonenity. He knows
himself, he knows the people of
this State, he knows their opin-
ions and desires. They have
made him their Chief Executive.
He will not fail them; he will not
have to fail them. The men of
the incoming legislature should
not be prejudged as meaning to
attempt to put him in any such
position. Some of them are too
manly to stoop to such politics
and all of them are too wise not
to know that it would mean their
political death warrant, in the
present temper OF the people OF
Maryland. Things at Annapolis
may not all go merrily as the lro-
verbal marriage bells, but some
things WILL GO, or the people
of this State will know the reason
why. Let us, then, not be given
just now to long-faced forebod-
ings. Let us rather look hope
FULL to our public servants to con-
duct themselves as public servants,
until and unless they compel us to
revise orr Indictment
