To Root or not to Root-that
is the question. There is no
doubt of Senator Roots ability.
His undisputed ability is fac
tor of danger. He is believer
in the fundamentals of repub-
lican institutions as established
by the fathers in this country.
He isn't in favor of third term
for our Presidents. He dosen't
believe the Constitution should
be changed overnight atan Oys-
ter Bay conference, to stand
as set forth until further notice
in The Outlook. Moreover, Sem
ator Root has the courage of
his convictions. Should he be
selected as temporary chairman
of the Chicago convention he
would be sure TO say things
which would jar the nerves of
the Claimant and disorder his
bile.

gressive policies set forth by
the Claimant and proclaimed
at second hand by the vision

shout hosannas at his heels

ment and incisive reasoning.

SNOW HILL. MD. JUNE 5.
Condition of our Railroad.

We have no desire to do the
Railroad Company any inJus-
tice. neither do we care to see
the public exposed TO the dan
gers that they are apparently
exposed to these days in the
course of travel between here
and Georgetown.
In the light of the wrecking
of a train only a few miles from
Snow Hill last Summer. and
another this week a short dis
tance from that, the derailing
of an engine the same day at
Snow Hill, and a wreck at
Friendship a few days ago, it
looks as if the tracks are not
being properly cared for. If
such is the fact, is it not a case
for the Public Service Commits
sion of Maryland p: The lives Of
people are too precious to be
trifled with, or to be risked for
the saving of a few dollars paid
for insufficient force to care for
the tracks. We are informed
that the force of section hands
has been reduced, or they are
working only a few days a
week, instead of being contin-
uously on the job.
Surely, a big and prosperous
railroad like the Pennsylvania
does not countenance the APP
parent bad management this
branch of the road is being sub
jected to. and it must be that
the leading officials are una
ware of conditions. insufficient
care of the track is poor economy
when trains are seen lying in the
bitches with wrecked cars.
twisted rails, broken wheels
and the like. Anyone with a
least spark of intellect will not
charge the railroad company
with such poor business pol
icy.
Then where is the trouble :
1t is up TO someone to find
out. Ii is up to the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company to in
sure the safety of its road for
travel.
1t is up to the authorities of
Worcester County to investi-
gate, and place the matter
before the grand jury.

Democratic Party is the
Friend of the Poor.

Whilst the whole country is
suffering as never before, ex-
cept in the stress of war, because
of the high cost of living, it is
recognized from end to end of
our land that one means of
amelioration lies in the power
of Congress through a needed
reduction Of tariff rates. The
Democratic House of Represen-
tatives has responded to popu-
lar demand for relief by the
passage of several bills provid-
ing for necessary reduction of
duties. But the Senate dawdles
and delays. 1t is evidently the
intention of stand-pat states
men to put off any definite
action during the present ses-
sion. Adjournment of Congress
without definitive tariff legis-
lation will plainly put respon-
sibility for delay where it be-
longs. Such action should serve
to intensity the growing resent
ment of the millions who go
hungry in order that tariff bene-
ficiaries may prolong their
season of plundering.

Teddy, The Trickster

j. +. p in the Baltimore sun

spects to ex-President Roosevelt.
and shows him up in his true
character. In his letter he
says:
"While the Republican party
is limited to choice between
Taft and Roosevelt. the Demo
Gratis are not. These have such
excellent gentlemen as Wilson,
Clark, Underwood, Harmon and
Gaynor To choose from. Each
of these is loyal to the peoples
interests. For years they have
battled for equal and exact
justice TO all-special privileges
to none. They were doing
this when Roosevelt was work
ing with Quay, Platt, Aldrich
and Penrose' to make still
stopger the bulwarks of the
trusts and protected interests
against the people; fighting for
all the good Roosevelt now pre-
tends to advocate, while he was
imploring Hartman for $780,
600 with which to corrupt the
New York electorate; fighting
the trusts, while he was con-
senting to the unlawful sale of
the Tennessee Iron and Coal
Company TO Perkins, Morgan
and Company, and ordering
dropped the suit against the
Harvester Trust.
These men are sincere in their
fight for progression. For
years they have waged relent-
less war against the tariff bar
ons. Where does 'Tin-god'
Roosevelt stand in this struggle
to break the strangle hold the
protected interests i trusts
have gotten upon the throats of
the people: Is he with the rob-
bed or the robbers:
Behold him as he prances
with much noise and wild GEES
ticulation In one hand he
carries a banner inscrib e d

other hand is behind him and
is being filled with trust money.
