AN irate automobilist breaks out, in the
columns of the Baltimore sun, agains.
the roads of Cecil county, particularly
that part of the turnpike beyond North
East, claiming that twice within a dis
tance of three miles he had to have horses
pull his machine out of the mud. Be pa
tient, dear friend; healing is on it's way.
The taxpayers of this State are eXpend-
ing $4,000, and if that is enough, will
doubtless be called on for more, TO pro-
vide your automobile with pleasant
flight along that same turnpike. We folks,
who pay the taxes, will continue to floun-
der along in the mud if only We can fur
nish concrete boulevards for birds OF
passage" through the State.

NOW WATCH 1T WORK

PRESIDENT WILSON has called an
extra session of Congress for April Z.
We will now be given an exhibition OF
how to reduce the tarln 10 meet the
Peep les wishes, while maintaining suf-
fcient revenue to fill the congressional
pork barrel. While our new government
leaders are wrestling with tarIn sched-
ules, one cannot help recalling how re-
Gently they have scandalized all thought
full observers by their lavish and, in many
instances, unjus,ih appropriate ns.
No such disgrace!u. pork barrel appro-
priation bill has ever gone through Con-
sress as the one recently eHacseu by the
grace OF gentlemen who made their la e
campaign on plea of governmental econ
omy and efic .ency. Some of the best and
wsest OF the democratic congressman
did have the courage to protest against
the d.sgraceful proceeding and TO de-
nounce il in unmeaSured terms. But too
many were hungry and hoggish for pro-
tests to stay the Rad on the Treasury.
Now, let these gentlemen face the pleas
ant 90 prospect of making a popular re
ducton in tariff revenue, while keeping
the Treasury up to the mark of paying
their lavish bills.
barrel business is the recent appropl ia
tion of $4,000 for each of several Mary
land towns, with which to build II post
office. Think of a $4,000 postoffice in a
town of eight to ten thousand people!
A moment reelection will snow the utter
absurdity of such an appropriation. Thai
is twice as much as the cost of their
court houses-buildings which house the
h,Nn II; 10
county and the court room beside.
When the constituents of Congressman
Whitacre, of Ohio, asked him to get them
one of these 100000 buildings that were
beng grabbed for he sent lnem the fol-
lowing letter:
You ask me to join in this raid on the
Treasury and to prove to you that ! was
liar, a hypocrite and demagogue when
| charged Mr. Kennedy (hs opponenD
with extravaganza. You profess TO be
business men. Not one of you would do
in your business what you demand that
do for the public business"

THE FREE SEED FARCE

ever, and warn the public that every
blessed bit of this seed is carrot, onion,

you suppose the Government expects us
to do with a bushel of such SUN? Why,
bless your soul, the Government has no

constitutional, one William H. Anderson
of the Anti-Saloon League publishes the
following comment:
1T is not worth while to roast the

dead. Mr.. Taft has classified anu tagged
himself. He will be known in history as
the only president of the United States
