The GovernorshIp

With the date of the republican
state convention little more than five
months distant, the definite nomina-
ton OF a gubernatorial candidate is
a matter that demands careful con
sideraton at the hands of the domi-
nant party, and We are glad to note
that the chances Of the nomination of
Allen NJ. Fletcher of Cayendish grow
longer as the time between this date
and that grows shorter
The campaign thus far has been a
decidedly quiet one, and the people
are quite we'll satisfied with that con-
dition OF things, since Il is not the
habit OF Vermont TO get unduly eX-
cited over its political operations too
far In advance of certain established
periods OF political activity. Not
withstanding the manifest nervous
ness OF few contemporaries, there
Is no reason to doubt that the contest
for the first place will be carried on
along the lines indicated by both MIR
Fletcher and Mr. DeBoer-lines
which do not run parallel with ques.
tionabe methods, since neither gen
tlenian's individual makeup or incli'
nation admits OF any different expec-
tation.
II is the quiet underourrent of pub
lie sentiment that counts; and as
days 30 by that sentiment appears In
creasingly in favor OF the nomination
OF Mr. Fletcher as n mar qualified
from every practical point of view to
give the state satisfactory admin
lstraton of its affairs. He has been
for years In familiar contact with
| questions that touch the welfare OF
the commonwealth. His candidacy
may be urged on the broad ground OF
public interests as well as upon the
ground OF service he has already rem
dered as member OF the legislature
He will carry into the convention q
following whose strength will, we be
lieve, secure him the nomination, anC
placed at the head OF the ticket, he
may be relied upon for safe anC
progressive conduct OF state business

Some newspapers of this state are
urging that we drop off the habit of
thinking Of Vermont as an agricultur-
al state, as other industries overshad-
ow agriculture to such an extent that
the term does not apply. But the
fact that agriculture is a business
carried on in every part of the state,
while stone-quarrying, for instance, is
practiced only in a few sections of
our commonwealth, is sure to leave
Vermont long time known as an
agricultural state.-Londonder Sif
ter
The Banner is inclined to agree
with the Sitter Industrialism is a
good thing, but you will note that
anarchy, rioting, suffering, poverty
and distress are adjuncts mostly of
city rather than country life. In a
state where land is as cheap and yet
as fertile as that of Vermont, it is
only the .densely ignorant, the de-
PRAYED and the degenerate who can
not live in comfort and modest plen-
ty in agricultural pursuits. In indus
trial pursuits even the highest paid
and most skillful workmen may come
to want and suffering through no
fault of their own and due only to
changing conditions and improve
ment of mechanical devices, as well
as to strikes and labor controversy.
With the worldwide increase in the
cost of living, IL is more and more
impossible for a workingman to save
anything from his wages, and he is
exposed in his old age to becoming
charge on his children or public
charity This is something that al
most never happens among the farm
ing people except through i'll health
or evil habits. They may never be
rich. but they live well and comfor-
tably and through good part OF the
year have much more leisure than
men who work in shops, mills, stores
and Offices. We desire to see Yer
mont advance both industrially and
agriculturally, but we hope the state
will always be an agricultural state
and. in our opinion, its permanent
prosperity depends upon the develop
ment OF its agricultural resources.

Geological Survey has issued bulletin

In tracing the geological history Of
this area through the various uplifts of

Before this subsistence Of the Chop

Duty of Democrats.

If the Democratic party
means to complete its rehabili-
tation, now is the time for some
sober and honest thinking, to
be followed by some sober and
resolute action.
The convention at Baltimore
is going to be a crucial occasion,
and it should be approached in
a spirit not of blind partisan
ship but of wise and far-seeing
patriotism. The party wants
and demands harmony, but it
does not want trimming. 1t
will not profit by evasions or by
any compromise of principle.
1t will serve the country best
and it will serve itself best by
naming strong and resolute
candidate on a clear platform.
1t will not serve either the
country or itself by taking its
cue from Republican divisions
and seeking to win solely on the
weakness of its rival. Not on
that, but on its own strength
and its own clearness of purpose
should its own hopes be based.
Send up your best men, breth-
rem, and send them up with
Democratic messenger. [volume] (Snow Hill, Md.) 1869-1973, 1912-06-15
Democrats More Orderly.

In one respect Democratic
national conventions are better
ordered than Republican ma
tional conventions. A Demo
cratic national committee is
seldom obliged TO give much
time or serious attention to
questions of title in making up
the temporary roll. Contests
are few and far between, about
the only constituency which
can be depended upon to send
an overplus Of delegates being
the District of Columbia, where
electing anybody to any office
is such a rarity that local pa
triots cannot resist the tempta-
ton to get all the excitement
possible out of it. The Federal
capital is the only community
so far TO send contesting dele
cations to Baltimore, and the
Democratic conventions COM
mittee on credentials this year
will enjoy practical sinecure.
The Republican party has UNI
fortunately too many Districts
of Columbia. There are numer.
Gus States in which the contest
habit has become chronic, and
in some of them the rage for
naming rival delegates has now
gone so far as to produce triple
State and district delegations.
The idea of regularity and con-
formity to established party
rules has been so weakened that
men stand ready to create a
mushroom organization over
night whenever the demand for
near delegates arises.
The scandal of frivolous and
irresponsible contests is grow
ing worse with each national
convention, and it has become
the duty of the party to protect
itself against the abuse. OF the
$50 or more contests carried To
Chicago this year more than
half are utterly without excuse,
ard most of the others derive
whatever standing they have
from the lax presidents set in
the past in dealing with fac
tional schisms. Ii is time TO
take decisive steps to check the
wholesale fabrication of cre-
dentials and compel the Repub-
licans Of a State or district who
seek representation in a nation
al convention to elect delegates
in accordance with State law or
with more rigid standards of
regularity prescribed by the
national organization. New

K. K. Wreck Investigated

The Messenger last week
commented editorially on the
frequent wrecks that have TAX
en- place on the ID. NJ. x v.
Railroad between Snow Hill
and Georgetown, and stated, in
emphatic terms, that the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation called
for an investigation onthe part
of the proper authorities.
1t has been claimed that there
are rotten ties in the roadbed f,
and that an insufficient force
of men has been employed to
keep the track in good condi-
ton. Whatever the cause, or
causes. that led to the wrecks,
the fact remains that they have
been of too frequent occurrence,
and too appalling in their pos
sible sacrifice of life, for the
situation longer to be overlook
ed by the authorities. or endured
by the travelling public.
In response TO an almost uni
versal expression of public cen
sure and protest. The Public
Service Commission of Mary
land detailed Mr.. Charles +.
Edwards, of Baltimore. to make
an investigation. Mr.. Edwards
came to Snow Hill Tuesday
afternoon. and was taken to
the scene of last weeks wreck
He made an examination of the
roadbed and track, and also
investigated the grades and
general conditions along the
line. Mr.. Edwards is rail
road expert, having had many
years of experience in this par
ticular line of work. In his re-
port to The Public Service Com
mission Mr.. Edwards will EN-
body some recommendations
for the betterment and i'm.
provement of the railroad,
which il carried out will throw
the proper safeguards around
passenger traffic.
The cognizance taken of the
matter by The Public Service
Commission, and the investi-
cation through Mr.. Edwards,
cannot but have salutary eff
feet: but any demands the Com
mission may make, or any ac-
ton they may take, have, in a
measure, been forestalled by
the railroad officials, who have
already placed an increased
force of men at work on the
road, removing old ties, and
otherwise improving the con
dition of the roadbed.
Another matter that wa S
brought to the attention of Mr..
Edwards was the railroad con-
nections between Snow Hill
and Ocean City at Berlin, the
junction of the ID. VI. * v, and
the b. G.. ~ a. Railroads, where
passengers are subject to long
waits both morning and night.
The matter was talked over in
formally with Mr.. Edwards,
and a member of our citizens
made it plain to him that they
considered il hardship to be
obliged to spend half the time
in Berlin, when leaving Snow
Hill for a days outing at Ocean
City.
