GOVERNOR SHAFRorH is report
ed as having vetoed all the bills
approprlating money out OF the
regular road and bridge fund and
impression is prevalent that there
were no road and bridge bills al
owed TO become law. A resume
of the bills now in the secretary 5
of states Office shows that eight
Of the governor 5 pets in the as
sem bly, were allowed their appro-
priation for roads and bridges.
These pets secured their appro-
priations from the general reve-
nues of the state. Joyce, Of
SiIvcrton, is allowed Sl2, 600;
Tobin. of Montrose. $4,000; West
of Durango, $40, 900: Skinner, of
Montrose, SI4oo; Pearson, Of
Guunison, S1I5o; Delta County
gets $1,000 and the City and Coun
ty of Denver S65ooo. Tie total
amount ofthese appropriations is
S1o7, 500. OF this amount it will
be noticed that Denver, the gov
eruor's home town, receives sos,
600 for viaducts and $4,000 for
roads to the north. The governor
allowed statements to be circulat
ed throughout the entire state
that he intended turning all road
and bridge money over to the
state highway commission. In
stead of doing this it appears that
he vetoed the bills of those who
were against him and allowed
those that were fathered by his
pets to become laws and also al
SO allowed those bills to become
laws, the appropriations of which
for Denver streets and highways
reduced his own personal taxes.

The claim of the Democrat,

Land Board Com mission that it
will be compelled TO conduct the
land board work with one-half the
force formerly employed is already
disproven by the facts. One
week ago the board met and after
much wrangling announced the
list OF fourteen employees which,
it was stated, was all that could be
employed under the opinion as to
revenues. rendered by Attorney
General Griffith. The Democrat
ic press of the state used this as
the subject for many economical
editorials Since then two more
employees have been slipped on
the salary list. One, a Mexican,

Not Even Practices for Boys

The ball team of the Williamson
Hafner Engraving company Of Denver
arrived in the city on Sunday morning
for a stay here of three days and
to play match game with our home
team each afternoon. The rains of
unday and Monday prevented the
games being pulled off On Tuesday
morning the first of the series was
played resulting in a score Of 6 to .
in favor of the visiting team. In the
afternoon another game was played
and the home team won by score of
II to l. The iuclement weather
caused bitter disappointment to the
visitors as well as to our home folk
The Denverites anticipated good out
ing along with their bal game but owing
to the frequent showers, they were
obliged to stay close to their hotels
The fear OF being caught in rain at tine
grounds also deferred many from going
to witness the games.

The Parcels Post

Messrs. Layton < Layton,
probably the largest seed house
on the Peninsula, writes con-
graduating the Messenger on
the Parcels Post editorial in
this paper last week. The Lay
tons are live wires in George
town,Del and are always alert
to the business advantage of
their section. They know that
the truths set forth in the Mes
senger apply to Georgetown as
we'll as to the towns of Worces-
ter County, Maryland, or any
other town in the United States,
or any community of farmers.
The Messenger has no axe to
grind in opposing the Parcels
Post. Its sole objects is to call
attention of the business men OF
this county to the harmful
thing it would prove to our bust
ness interests.

SNOW HILL. MD. FEB. II


The people of WorcesterCoun-
ty are very much in favor OF
the next meeting of the Nation
al Democratic convention being
held in the city of Baltimore.
Baltimore is not only pre-.
pared to accommodate such a
great assembly of people as will
be in attendance at that con-
vention, with its splendid hotels,
but it has also demonstrated
that it can entertain the dele
gates in a manner superior to
any city in the East. These
conventions have been held in
the West for many years. and
we have no doubt that Balti-
more can now secure the con-
vention, if all the people unite
in one great effort to that end.

this policy, which has been the
slogan of the National Rivers

organization more than ten
years ago. The River and Har-
Dor Bill it is believed, will be

for them some nice pleasant
berth of almost any kind, pro-
vided only that it carried an
adequate salary. Before Con-
gress assembled in December
the "lame duck" contingent
began arriving in Washington
to storm the White House.
"Lame duck alley" at the Elk
ecutive offices became a jest in
Washington and throughout
the country, for it was there
that candidates for the Federal
consolation stakes sat cooling
their heels while awaiting the
pleasure of the President,
and his private secretary, TO
admit them to an audience.
Each of the eminent flame
ducks"-and some of them are
undeniably entitled to gener-
Gus space in Who's-Who-had
his favorite job picked out and
labeled, and when he got
the chance he told the Presi-
dent what it was: but while the
President was all kindness and
consideration hegradually made
it apparent that something
else would have to be selected,
and when the next choice was
mentioned it usually developed
that for certain reasons that
place also could not be deliver
ed. And so it went on until it
gradually dawned on the men
who couldn't come back that
the President didn't see how
lame ducks were particularly
an asset to a man who was
looking forward to a strenuous
campaign to succeed himself.
Then the disappointed ones
dropped their talk of places
they would consent to take,
and adroitly admitted they
could get. And that is about
the way things stand now.
