Woodrow Wilson in an address BE-
fore the New York Press Club:
"The men I am interested in are
those who never have their voices
heard, who never get line in tho
newspapers, who never get moment
On the platform, who never have ac-
cess to the ears Of governors or of any
body who is responsible for the con-
duct Of government, but who 60
<:Iently and patiently to their work
every day, carrying the burden of the
wor1d.'
In the midst Of all the charges and
countercharges flying back and forth
between the two factions of the repub-
Tcan party, Woodrow Wilson stands
serene and unassailed. He has no past
that is not creditable to him. Every
wear of his life has been lived in such
a way that now when he stands on the
heights no man can say word against
aim or cast aspersions upon his record
Or impugn his motives. There is no
question in the minds of the American
people as to Wilson's honor and truth
fulness. No faint of Steel Trust or
Standard Oil corruption funds has tar
nished his name or involved him in
heated exchanges with members of his
party of the short and ugly word. No
man has called him liar, and he has
not had occasion to give the lie to
anyone. Wilson stands out in this
campaign as the one man whose record
is unassailable and whose program
meets the approval of the entire body
of his own party-Winona Independ'
ent.

1t now appears that the "get-to-

bearing fruit Although the Novem-

of power In the senate, shifting II
from Republican to Democratic hands,
the greater task remained. The Dem

Memphis Under Com
mission, Government

Memphis Is the largest city which
has had commission government with
gratifying results for three years.
though II has been In operation In
Galveston and other smaller cities for
a much longer time. The record shows
that for 16 years out OF "a, under the
old a!dermanic system, the tar rate
was more than 81. averaging about
$2.35, but in 1903. II ran up to S2.ss.
Under the commission It was $1.75 In
1910, $1.69 In 1911 and only Sh6S In
1912.
In spite OF the fact that the tar rate
Is decreasing the city Is getting more
and better paving. better lighting and
cleaner streets. Today the boast OF
the Memphians is that they have 'the
finest central police headquarters In
the world" A mounted police force
has been created, crime has decreased,
automobile fire engines adopted, miles
OF smooth streets laid and sewer ana
waterworks improved.
The people Of Memphis claim that
they have the healthiest city In the
south with one Of the lowest death
rates In the United States. This is
the same Memphis which was once
a pesthole OF disease, and was almost
wiped out Of existence By yellow
fever.-New Orleans States.

The Cecil Whig" is in receipt Of .
letter from Yon. Asa B. Gardiner, Jr.,
Chairman of the Good Roads Committee
OF the Automobile Club Of Maryland, In
which he says in part:
Those interested in the improvement
of the Old Government Post Road, be-
tween Elkton and Perryville, finding that
that Cecil county had not the money
which could be used for the repair Of
this road, have turned to the General
Assembly Of Maryland.
The people in other parts OF Maryland
are more dependent upon this road than
are the people of Cecil county, for there
is an immense volume of automobile
traffic that is OF the greatest Importance
to Baltimore and the State, as we'll az
the State traffic which would permit q
man In Baltimore to pass down to the
Eastern Shore Of Maryland or points Id
Delaware.
Only those who are acquainted with
this condition realize the obstacle that
the frightful condition of the old Gov.
ernment Post Road has been to the pe0-
Pile.
Also we recognize the fact that even
-
on the improvement of this road, the
fact that 1t was a through road and
passed through such barren waste
hardly justified the people of Cecil
county to spend the money on it. OF
course II this road is improved, 1t will
make 1t easier to go from Elkton to Port
Deposit, Perryville or North East, and
Cecil county would benefit by the re-
construction of this road.
With these things clearly in mind, q
| bill has been prepared asking for spec
ial State appropriation which shall not
| conflict with any other appropriation for
| Cecil county. and thirty thousand doll
lars 100000 is asked for the repair and
reconstruction Of this road on the clay.
gravel basis with proper underdrainage,
and this should cost not over two thous-
and five hundred dollars ($2,5O0) a mile,
and be serviceable at all seasons Of the
year, and a satisfactory road in every
way.
Such road would be demonstration
| of economical road building, and the pro-
| position has been passed on by the Engi-
neer of the State Roads Commission, who
says the road can be built for the price
| named, and prove a most satisfactory
| road, and bill has been passed on these
lines and will be shortly introduced into
| the General Assembly of Maryland.

Governor will Work Through Local
Committees

In making his appointments to office,
Governor Goldsborough has adopted the
policy of being guided by the recommen-
dations of the Republican State Central
Committee for each county. While this
plan may not secure the best results in
all cases, it has certain obvious advan-
tages. 1t shifts the responsibility for
the quality of the appointment from the
Governor to the State Central Commit
tee. 1t makes the State Central Com
mittee assume the responsibility, the
responsibility which properly belongs to
1t as the official body in the party or
ganization. We understand that the State
Central Committee for Cecil county 10
now working on its list of recommenda-
tions for appointments, but have not as
yet heard of any final decisions.
