HAS HE DONE 1T

THE County Road Engineer en,.Il
make out annually in writing detailed
report to the Commissioners of all work
done on the county roads and bridges
for the year, together with the names
of all persons working on said roads and
bridges and the amount to which each
person is entitled for such work and
which he has certified as correct;
WHICH REPORT SHALL BE MADE ON
THE 18th DAY OF JULY FOR THE
YEAR ENDING ON THE 3Oth DAY ot
THE PRECEDING JUNE" Art. s, Sec.
Use Laws of Maryland, title Cecil
County," subtitle Roads" That is
what the law says. What has the Road
Engineer done to comply with that law?
We asked for this report at the Com
missioners office a few weeks ago and
were told that no report had been made.
Why not? The law says it shall be
made. But what do the present man
ayers of things in this county care about
what the law says? And wouldn't you
like to see that report? Wouldn't it be
entertaining, nay probably exasperating,
reading to the people?

THE SAME OLD GAME

WELL, the Cecil Democrat is suffering
another one of its periodical attacks of
negrophobia. To be sure, it confesses
that there is mo real danger of negro
domination" but it thinks that TALK
about negro domination is good polti-
cal ammunition. Having no word to say
in defense of our present local condi-
tions under this Democratic administra-
ton, it thinks it wise to distract and
divert public attention by the old, time
worn cry of negro domination. In other
words the Cecil Democrat evidently i'm
AGNES that the people of this county are
foolish enough to continue forever to
suffer the ills of any sort of misman-
agement of local affairs, in order to es-
cape what the political advocate calls
the danger of negro domination-of which
negro domination there is about as
much likelihood of this county's suffer-
ing, as there is of its suffering an earth
quake.

MIR. GEO. R. ASH, editor of the Cecil
Democrat, is to be the new leader of
Cecils Democracy in this county, it
would seem. We learned, with some sur
prise, from a source close to Senator
German, the other day, that German
had put his fight in this county in the
late primary in Mr.. Ash's hands, and is
now trusting that gentleman to deliver
him the county at the general election.
This news will come with some surprise
to quite a few folks beside ourselves
We have no comment to make on the
selection, but cannot help recalling that
when the LeeGorman primary fight was
on the Cecil Democrat was careful to
announce that ii had no sides to take
1t was for either or neither or both.

HARD PRESSED ADVOCATES

WE recognize the fact that the two
local Democratic papers are under very
great obligations to the present county
administration. They have received
enormous sums of money from that ad-
ministration. But whatever their sense
of obligation may be, are they not at
tempting an utterly impossible task when
they attempt to defend the administra-
ton of the present county commission
ers? Are they not asking entirely too
much Of the people of this county when
they ask them to believe that the ad-
ministration of the present County
Commissioners is accountable. admirable,
and altogether laudable? That admins
tration would be taken by the people as
huge joke, if such things were not
too important, too vital to the peoples
welfare, to be made a subject of jocu
larity. But it is grim joking when the
people find some s165,O00 of their taxes
have been spent in a single year with
sort of thing hurts and nobody can won
der that public feeling is aroused and
that the people are determined to end
the distressing farce. To trot out the
old negro bugaboo", or the presidential
election of 1912, or the Il am a Demo-
crat" Shrek is going to fool nobody Of
intelligence or independence. The peo-
pie have made up their minds on the
local situation and their mind is that
there has got to be a change. Road
management and tax rates plead "trum-
pet tongued' for the trial of a new deal

$l.27 FOR WHAT

SOME weeks ago we called attention
to the fact that when the County Com
missioners made this years levy, they
made it hind-end foremost. That is they
began with the fixed purpose to hold the
tax-rate down tit being an election year
and wise time to fool the people,, no
matter what the items of the levy might
total. With this end in view they lop-
ped off here and there, until they HAD
the levy some $4,000 below what their
last statement shows they actually spent
for the same items. This, of course, was
nothing but the regulation election year
dodge and ought 10 fool nobody But
with air their twisting and turning,
with all their efforts to hoodwink the
people by an Inadequate levy the tax
rate you will pay this year will be $l.27.
AND FOR WHAT? Aye, there is the
rub. No man pays his taxes hilariously;
but a good citizen likes to pay them
loyalty and with the thought of con-
tributing this much to the proper main
tenance of things. But can you pay
your taxes with any such heart this
year? Does it not hurt to pay them,
when the county has little or nothing to
show in return therefor? This spending
OF money for that which is not bread, is
what gets on ones nerves. That is why
our people today are resentful and bit
ter. Between the inefficiency of our
County Commissioners Court and the
fiat failure of recent Crothers legislation
for the county, the taxpayers money is
going for little or nothing. What are
these County Commissioners good for"
the people are saying; they are cost
ing the county between $4,000 and $4,000
per year for their salaries with nearly
another $1,000 for their Counseps salary
and what do they all amount to? What
is the county getting from the Road
Engineer, with all his aides and his ell
cheering schemes? Thousands of dol
lars are going into the road fund" but
what good is being done to the roads :?
They were never in such leplorable con-
dition. The Commissioners say it is the
Engineers fault. The Engineer says Tor
said to us recently it is the Commits
sioners' fault. Be hanged to your ex-
cuses, say the people A plague on both
yohr s-Commissioners, Engineer,
and the whole bunch of you. You will
all get out-and get out quick, after No
vember 7th. S1.27 tax rate and nothing
to show therefor but an army of salaried
officials who serve to further the inter-
ests of the political machine, but are
only an evaporation to the average tax
payer and citi en-. Does anybody sup
pose the people of this county are going
to stand for this business any longer?
Hardly, we guess. They are going to
wipe the slate clean this time and see il
we cannot get new and better start.

SITE FOR FARM SCHOOL.
New Experiment Station to be Estab
Ished in St. Louis County.

Iished In st. Louis County.
A site for the new demonstration
farm and school in st. Louis county, to
be operated in connection with the
school of agriculture at st. Anthony
Park, was selected by the Board of Re.
gents of the State University on their
two days trip to Duluth, from which
they returned.
An offer shortly will be made for a
tract of land which contains about 24O
acres, lying about nine miles north.
west of the city of Duluth. 1t is of
fine clay loan, and is what is classed
as cut-over land. Three departments
will be located on the farm-dairy
fruit and vegetable and poultry.
The last Legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the school, but this does not
become available until August 1, 1872
so that there will be very little at
tempted at the farm until then.
While on the trip the regents in.
spected the Grand Rapids subexperi.
mental farm of which A. ]. MCGUIRE is
superintendent. They found the crops
in very fine condition and the expert
ments working out satisfactory.
What pleased them most was the
showing being made by the new white
dent corn which originated at the sta
ton. 1t is an early maturing variety
ard while ears are not as large as the
now famous Minnesota No. Is yellow
dent, yet it is heavy producer and
Dean Woods feels sure that it has a
future wherever white corn is pre-
ferred to yellow, and especially in the
more northern sections where early
corn is necessary.

CHOOSE NEW HIGHWAY.
Route for international Falls to Twin
City Recommended.

Blackduck.-At another good roads
meeting of the Blackjack Commercial
club the definite route of a link in the
international Falls to the Twin City
highway was decided upon, and a peti.
ton for the roadway forwarded to the
State Highway commission at st. Paul.
The road chosen from three proposed
routes is to parallel the Minnesota &
international railroad from Farley to
Tenstrike, then east around Erickson
lake and again north paralleling the
railroad through Hines to within a
short distance of Blackjack, thence
due north to Blackjack lake, circling
the lake on the south and west sides to
Blackjack, thence north on the range
line to point west of Kelliher and
there to connect with the already es-
tablished road and on through Kelli-
her north twelve miles to the Tamarack
river.
The committee appointed at the pre-
vious meeting to report yesterday is
made up of w. T. Blakely, Farley
Charles Carter, Hines; George Pretts,
Norden, Koochiching county; H. w.
Alsop, deputy county auditor Of Bel
trami and resident of Birch township !;

highway for settlement in that district
to Kelliher, Blackjack and Bemidii.
