the Judge was blowing corn with old

lumbago, bald-head and appendicitis.
The Judge saws that he was swindled

just fourteen days after he had met

AND DEMOCRATIC "a
VIEWS ON u. S. SENATORSHIP

Has he shown the slightest concern
with respect to the great inland wa
terway project, which is Of both ma
tional and local importance? In the
subject of the reclamation Of swamp
lands, which has special interest for
Delaware, has he contributed a
single thought, so far as the public
knows? Upon the question Of prison
reform, Of deep interest to Delaware,
he has been as Indifferent as if it con-
cerned the children of the Ghetto To
the solution Of purely State problems
he has contributed less than nothing,
and this includes the senatorial prob
lem, for even that he has generally
managed to muddle to such an extent
that a solution has heretofore been
impossible when there was a chance
of its solution. He has taken no ac-
tive part in the management Of any
of the charities of the State, county or
city, and tho rich man he never APP
pears among the contributors to their
support. In the recent campaign for
hospital funds his name was conspicu-
Gus by its absence, and in none of our
hospitals has he manifested any inter
est whatever When asked to contrib
ute to the hospital fund, Mr.. Sauls-
bury declined to do so on the ground
that he was interested in other things,
presumably the senatorship.
In the various public bodies here,
organized AID conducted for the pro-
motion Of the commercial and in
dustrial interests of the city and State,
such as the Board Of Trade, the
Chamber Of Commerce, and the like,
he takes no part, either active or pas
sive. The Peoples Settlement work
never hears from Mr.. Salisbury, and
to the Civic Association, the purpose
of which is to secure a new charter
for the city, he is a stranger. In the
work of extending and maintaining
the park system of the city he has
shown no concern at all; and we re-
peat that in. no public movement for
the betterment of the people does the
record reveal him as playing even a
minor part.
All of Mr. Saulsbury's energies,
physical and financial, appear to have
been centered upon the one over
whelming passion by which he is OBJ
sessed-a desire to become a United
States senator. And it appears that
he has not been overly particular as to
the means by which this purpose has
been pursued. His partisans frankly
declare that he has used money lib
orally to keep the Democratic party

SET US AN EXAMPLE.

From the ElktOn Whig.
The farmers OF Howard county, 10
the number of about 200, assembled
at Ellicott City on Tuesday, took din
ner together, and discussed matters
of mutual interest. Among other
things they roasted" the State Road
Commission and appointed com
mittee to look into its work.
Wouldn't something like this be a
good move on the part of the people
of this county How about our getting
together for the discussion of this
and possibly other matters? Let us
hear from you and see If there is
enough interest to call a meeting.
We think this is a matter which
should be handled by the people of
the county by fair representation of
them. The editor of the Whig does
not feel it resting on himself to go
it alone" i'm the matter. He has no
special personal interest therein. His
only interest is concerned with the
rights OF the people of the county and
he is not greatly disposed to bother
about efforts to protect those rights
unless the people themselves have
enough public spirit to join in those
efforts. We have laid the facts before
the people very fully in several ar
ticles in the Whig. The people cannot
plead ignorance of the facts They
have been informed as to the way
the old State Road Commission has
treated this county and the way the
present Commission proposes to fur
ther treat IT, The only remaining
question is as to whether Cecil has
enough public spirit among its citi-
zens to stand for its rights. 1T is UP
TO YOU. The editor of this paper
is ready to be one of body of citi-
zens who will bring these matters to
an issue and settlement. Thus far
about a score of citizens have sent
MS their declaration of willingness
to join this movement. We think
there ought to be more. A county
like Cecil ought to produce more
than that many public spirited citi-
zens-else it is hardly worth having
its rights protected

alive, while every political act Of his
life points to the conclusion that the
money thus spent was for the soils
purpose Of advancing the senatorial
aspirations of Willard Salisbury.
In this connection, the Dover cor
respondent Of The Star, in lettes
printed this morning, throws some
light upon the manner in which Mr..
Salisbury has kept the Democratic
party alive, and also illuminates I hel
purpose for which that act Of pre-
walton has been performed. Our cor
respondent says: ct is declared that.
at the last election, in at least six Of
the Representative districts of Kent
county, money claimed to have come
from the National Committee was /,
used, and the man who distributed it
said it was in the interest Of Mr..
Saulsbury's candidacy for senator"
Thus, we see, if Mr.. Saulsbury'ss
friends are to be credited, not only
has Mr.. Saulsbury's own money been
spent to keep the party alive and
send him to the Senate; but it ap-f
pears that other money has also been
spent for the same purpose. In fact,
the sum of Mr.. Saulsbury's service to .
the party may be expressed in his
willingness to spend all the money
available from every source to pro-
mote the success Of his party, pro- 4
vided such promotion meant his own
political advancement. That service
embraces the whole of his claim to the
senatorship, and we challenge his adj
vocates to name a single act in his
whole career, political or otherwise
that may be justly construed as SER
vice to the people whom he aspires to
represent in the upper body Of the ma
tional assembly.
Mr.. Saulsbury's reputation of Adj !
dicks, in 1901, as his possible colleague
in the Senate, as related in these coli
umns last Sunday, comes the nearest
to a real public service that can be I
credited to him, but such a contin-
gency was so impossibly remote, and
he knew it, that he might with equal
justice be credited with a refusal to
serve in the Senate with the Man in
the Moon.
So, as we have repeatedly pointed
out, Mr.. Saulsbury's sole claim to
senatorial honors, is that he has spent
his money freely in his efforts to be-
come senator; and to this may now
possibly, tho not certainly, be added
the equally questionable claim that
other money has also been spent in his
behalf for the same purpose.
