All Good Men

The Messenger again SAYS To
you that all of the Democratic
candidates for the nomination
for the Presidency are GOOD
MEN. Either one of the three
asking for your support at the
primary election in this State
next Monday is superior to
Roosevelt or Taft. Either of
the Democratic candidates are
nearer to the people than the
Republican candidates, who
stand to guard the interest of
the millionaire monopolists of
the country instead of giving
good government to the far
mers and working men. 1t is
very hard TO tell now which of
the Democratic candidates will
be nominated at the National
convention, which meets in
Baltimore next month, but there
is JOY in the thought that we
now have before us men who
are safe and sane. and either
of whom will be a winner.

Governor Commissions
Appointees.

The office of Justice of the
Peace is created by the Consti-
tuition of Md, therefore the Gov
ernor contends that these APP
pointments hold. regardless of
the Senate failing to confirm
them. He has sent commissions
to the Justices named by him
for Worcester County. Whether
or not the appointees of Cover
nor Crothers will make legal
contention to hold on, because
the Senate failed to confirm
the Republicans, we are not in
formed.
So far as the appointment of
Election Supervisors and School
Commissioners are concerned
there is no doubt that the con-
firmation of the Senate is nee
essary, except to fill vacancies
occurring between sessions:
therefore, Messrs. Price, Blades,
and Dale, Election Supervisors.
and Onley School Commissioner
will continue to hold their of
fees till the Senate confirms
their successors. These offices
were created by Legislative en-
actment and the Legislature
has provided a way for the APP
pointments to be made, giving
the Senate equal rights with
the Governor in the matter.

Throughout the country there is
one day in each year which is set
aside as Mothers Day" and it is
one towards which the minds Of sons

that is dear to AL the human family
it is that With has its fullness about
mother.
Mankind and W~omankind can need
no long drawn out discourse to- call

is one to leave a blessing. No low

that there is one day in each year
set aside in which to do her or her
memory an especial honor is a most
fitting thing, and that 1t IS a DAY on

Editor K. l.. Gray, in the Richmond

Of the occasion as follows:
There will be q poisoning of
white flowers in Richmond on
Mothers Day which is May II.
appropriately this is a day with

one that goes back to the springs Of
life and calls back hustling and bust

There are tears in the very thought
Of this quiet, ~symbolicaT celebration.

All that We would say is that when

Nircinians to wear a white flower for
the memory of mothers dead or alive,
