A PLAY TO THE GALLERIES

EVIDENTLY Mr. German is getting
somewhat panicky over the prospects OF
the Democratic STATE ticket Otherwise
one can hardly account for his making
the suffrage amendment an issue in his
recent speeches in Southern Maryland
He has been urging his hearers to pass
this suffrage amendment, which he says
will forever eliminate the black vote
from our suffrage" Now, Mr.. German
knows perfectly well thai the passage
OF TINS suffrage amendment will NOT
eliminate the black vote; he knows per-
tcLtly well that the Democratic manag-
trs have determined to make no effort to
ass the suffrage amendment, in fact, do
not want it passed, as they understand
perfectly well that it would bring down
n their heads the adverse rulings of the
L. 5. Courts. All this is perfectly I'M
derstocd by Mr. German, and the only
reason he can have for referring to the
suffrage amendment, is not that he wants
1t passed but that he wants TO use it in
certa!l- quarters to stir up race feeling
IN telalf of his ticket. 1t is a campaign
trick, pure and simple-a play to preju
dice and nothing more.

A STRANGE APPEAL

1T is amusing to say the least, to hear
the Cecil Democrat appeal for the sup
port of the Democratic ticket because
that party has given US a Primary
Election Law" Does anybody but a
few impractical theorists or scheming
politicians approve that law? Why it
has only been a few weeks since the
Cecil Democrat itself was denouncing it
as nuisance--a cumbersome, useless,
expensive nuisance, which brings no
good to the county, but brings another
lax burden in the shape of $4,000 to
$4,000 of costs for holding a primary
In fact much of the progressive" legis-
lation of which the Democratic mana
gers are boasting at this time seems to
mean nothing but the piling up of enor-
nous financial obligations for the tax
payers to meet in the not-dstant flu
ture. The Primary Election Law is only
one illustration. Another illustrate. q
list he Public Utilities Commission. This
Commission is costing the taxpayer 9
$4,000 per year. Does anybody know
of any single good thing it has accom-
plished? Commissions! Commsisi ons!
Commissions! Money! Money. Money!
that is about what the present admins
tration of things means. Four years
ago the State tax rate was 16 cents This
year you will pay % Genus; next year &c
cents and so on and SO on, until nobody
can guess where all this progressive"
Democratic legislation .(for political eff
fecu is going to land us-unless per-
chance it may land us in the Poorhouse.

unspeakable nerve to talk about econ
omy in government" May the Lord de-
LIVER US from SUCH economy!

of County Expenses has just been pub
lished. By virtue of a new Crothers law
and the cooperation of a narrowly,
partisan Board of County Commission
ers, this publication is denied to the
Republican press, as II the large num-
Der OF Republican citizens and tax
payers of this county were not entitled to
any information as to the expenditure OF
their taxes. But we have the publica-
tion OF the Statement of County TX
penses right before us just the same. We
find therein one item headed BILLS
PAYABLE and under that item we
count seven banks of the county to
which THE COUNTY is CHARGED AS
INDEBTED IN THE TOTAL SUM OF
$36,000.00. Does that look as If the
statement of the county's having Dor
rowed large sums of money were lie?
2. One word more. In our injunction
suit against the County Commissioners
we charged them with having borrowed
certain sums without warrant of law
and specified some of the sums. When
the Court asked If the Commissioners
had any defense to make to this charge,
their counsel answered NONE" Since
mat tihic VIC nave icpedtculy A. 81 Lie
Commissioners to come into Court and
deny it or disprove our charge. If they
could. They have failed to do SO, in
conse quence whereof the costs of the
suit will be cast on the Commission
ers and the injunction will be made per-
nanent. Does this look as If there were
any falsehood in the assertion of 1.-The
county being in debt and having large
sums of money borrowed?
We recognize the fact that the Cecil
County News is verv INSCRIPTIONS
and disreputable sheet when it comes to
political affairs, and we should not
notice its silly statement in this in
stance but for the fact that it gives us
an opportunity to emphasize to the
public the true story of the "county's
being in debt" II no debt has been III.
Cured then what means these BILLS

their business affairs. Fitzwater says
he will go to Jail next week. Clark's

Gus Army Extends Its Front.

Tripou, Tripoli. An important
movement is now in progress with the
object of driving the Arabs out of
the oasis and extending the Italian
front. II began at daybreak. The ac-
tion opened with an attack on Fort
Mesri by the Sixth brigade from
Boumeliana on the west front.
After several hours fighting, the
Italians succeeded in dislodging the
Arabs, and General Frugones, COM
mander of the Italian forces, ordered
the third division on the east front to
advance toward Heni. Part of the
Sixth brigade joined the men Of the
Third. taking up a position so as to
protect the division from an attack
from the direction of Ainzara and
prevent a junction of the Arabs and
Turks. At the time of filing this mes
sage, the Italian extreme right was
hotly engaged against the Turkish
regulars.
The new front, IL the movement is
successful will extend from Mesri to
Henni. As soon as the Italians are
established, reinforcements will be
rushed up to positions strongly en-
trenched by the engineers.

Report Of indictments at Aberdeen

Washington, Dist. of Col.-Exten.
sive land frauds through the use of
soldiers declaratory statements have
been unearthed by agents of the gen
eral land Office i'm the Northwest. and
the commissioner OF the land office
has received a report of the indict-
ment at Aberdeen. s. d., of half
dozen persons, including women.
charged with conspiracy in these
practices.
At the land Office at Timber Lake
in South Dakota, 2.l00 such state
ments, each covering 100 acres Of
land. have been filed within the last
year, while 100 such statements were
filed in the land Office at Lennon.
The effect of the fling of these de.
clarations is to hold the land indefi.
nitely, thus shutting out Legitimate
entrymen.
II is asserted that not one out of 20
of the statements is followed by &C
tual proving up. The plan is to get
old soldiers or the widows of soldiers
to make preliminary declaration OF
their intention to take up land under
the law. and at the same time procure
from them a REIMBURSEMENT which is
sold to the land seekers. Sometimes
$500 has been obtained for these
relinquishments.
Inasmuch as there was no original
| intention to acquire the land by the
| soldier claimants the government con
tends that the use of the names oi
these people clouds the lands GOV
cred by their declarations and de
prives legitimate home hunters o'

Important happenings Of the
Week Briefly Told.
GOOD LOGGING CHANCE.


Kalispell-What IL considered one
Of the biggest and most important
logging chances within the western
larch and Douglas fir belts in Montana
is that known on the detailed reports
now ON file as the Murphy Lake Log
ing Chance" in the Fortine river coun-
try, In the northwestern portion Of
the Blackfeet forest.
The estimate discloses the fact that
there are practically one billion feet
Of timber accessible to the Murphy
lake mill site. OF this 81 per cent Is
western larch. 80 per cent Douglas fir,
Q per cent yellow pine and per cent
minor species. About s. per cent Of
this timber is owned by individuals,
the remainder being owned by the gov
ernment. The chance is discussed
both on the basis of large logging
railroad proposition and as an oppor-
tunity for a small concern to start with
q small initial expenditure for the in
stallation of q plant.
"The natural and artificial facilities
incident to this mill site are remark
p. Mclaughlin today. "The mill site
is at the outlet of Murphy lake. where
ample pond room may be had for logs.
and with 100 acres of yarding space
adjacent. The main line of the Great
Northern railway is within tx miles
which may be connected with the mill
yards by spur. The operations can
be economically conducted by electri-
cal power generated at the water-pow-
er site five miles north of the mill site
on Grave creek. This power site
is considered capable of generating
energy to the amount Of 5000 electri-
cal horsepower"
Several local men have already re-
viewed the reports in the Blackfeet
forest office here. while eastern lum-
bermen are being presented with the
facts by Franklin II. Smith. whose
position in Washington places him in
direct touch with eastern capitalists.
