Constable For Judge.

Possessing every qualification for the
position, as Albert Constable does, county
pride should secure for him an over
whelming vote for Chief Judge. Aside
from this are many other points to in
fluence the citizens of this county 10 Mr..
Consiable's favor. Several of these
points are clearly brought out in the
following letter to the Journal:
Cecil County has more business to be dis
patched in the course of year than any two
other counties in the Circuit and when we
consider the interests of the people of this
County and the Inconvenience, delay and ex-
penses to which our people are subject in
Equity business coming before the Court, our
contention that we are entitled to one MEM
Der of the Bench is most certainly justiiable
Mr. Constable is we'll qualified by experience
and training to discharge the duties of the
office acceptably to the State. He is forty-one
years old and win not be liable, as many of
our judges have been, to have the constitu-
sional term of fifteen years limited and short
ened by the age limit, but if he lives. will
serve out his full term
Judge Adkins, who is now an Associate
Judge, is also candidate for the nomination
of Chief Judge, and if he secures the nomina-
ton vacancy will occur in his office as asso-
ciate, which will have to be filled by the
present Governor
You can readily see how complications may:
arise in the selection of successor to Judge
Adkins is taken from the people and left to
the Governor who will doubtless look to the
strengthening of his own political fortunes
rather than to the strengthening and improve
ment of the Judiciary. Because, it is always
safe to say the people are better judges of the
qualifications of man for any position than q
single individual who is influenced more or
less by his own political interests. AS can
didate who receives the majority Of the
popular vote Of the five Counties will receive
the nomination it is Of vital Importance to the
business Of this County that the people are
informed before the Primary Election Of the
Importance of the contest and urged to come
out and vote and instructed that the vote for
the Judge will in no way affect or control their
vote for Delegates to the State Convention.

With Woodrow Wilson as an ideal can
didate for the presidency the democratic
party Of Mary land has the assurance Of
a solid party vote, supplemented BY the
constantly increasing independent vote Of
the state as well as large support from
republica who are Disguised with the
Kilkenny cat fght now being INDUCED
In by Taft and Roosevelt.
While the contest between Wilson, and
Clark for the democratic nomination is a
friendly one. unmarked by the bitterness
shown in the republican ranks and the
admission on all sides that Clark is ct
and qualified candidate personally and
from his past record, he has been badly
disqualified by the Baltimore liquor gang
espousing his cause in this state. This
gang of ringsters will be load which no
candidate can carry to victory and it Is
unfortunate for Clark that his cause is
being espoused by such ring of grafters
whose only aim is continuation Of rum
rule in the city and as many of the
counties as they can control.
Superintendent Anderson of the Anti
Saloon League comes out in statement
and shows utter defeat for any candidate
who has such following. Mayor Preston
OF Baltimore, the titular head of the
saloon gang, is aspiring 10 the vice presi-
dency on the Clark ticket and should
that come to pass the entire anti-saloon
league influence throughout the country
would be against the election of that
ticket as is clearly shown in Superinten-
dent Anderson's statement.
The Wilson delegates in Cecil county
are William M. Brown. Cecil E. Ewing,
@. Hampton Richards and Frank R.
Scott. Be sure and 20 to the polls Mon

Eoraats of Africa.

One Of the great natural treasures
Of Africa is the immense extra tropical
forest that extends almost unbroken
from the extreme southern end along
the eastern highlands to the equator.
There are gaps In it. and the trees
change In kind somewhat with change
Of latitude. but upon the whole It has
the same character throughout. The
altitude above the sea changes regu.
larly with decrease Of latitude. Near
the cape the forest grows at sea level;
in Natal and the Transvaal it's alti-
tude increases to 1900. 1000 and
5000 feet. and on approaching the
equator it rises to 1000 feet and final
" to 10000 feet. In the equatorial
highlands the growth is very vigorous.
and the forest is enriched with the
pencil cedar of Abyssinia. - Youths
