The Postoffice Muddle

The Democrats of this (the First) Con-
gressional District are in a turmoil over
the post office appointments. 1t seems
that President Wilson is letting Marbury
and his friends designate the appoint
ments, in certain places, without any
consultation with Congressman Covng-
ton or Senator Smith; and the result is
a sense of bitter resentment on the part
of these gentlemen and their friends.
In this county, the only wde-open split
has come to Chesapeake City, where the
death OF William B. Coleman, necessi-
tates an early appointment to fill the va
cancy. 1t was generally thought that
the place would go to Mr.. George X.
Houck, who has always been with the
Organization" politically, ana had ths
backing of large part of the community
Mr. Houck however. pulled out when he
found that Mr.. William NJ. Brown had
the backing of the "Crothers boys.

COMMENTS ON
ROAD COMMISSION

The State Road Commission has Just
announced that before the hot weather
arrives it proposes to spread oil on every
foot of the improved roads, at cost OF
about 100000.
1t also announces the substitution Of
bituminous construction for macadam, to
a large extent, on the ground that ma
cadam Is not sufficiently durable under
severe traffic.
Query:-IsN'T 1T RATHER LATE TO
FIND THE WEAKNESS OF MACADAM
ROADS AFTER STATE LIKE MARY
LAND HAS SFENT SOME SEVEN OR
EIGHT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS Ex-
PERIMENTING WITH THEM?
The Commission also announces that II
has built nearly 275 miles of road and
taken over 1870 miles of turnpikes maxi
ing 465 miles Of State operated roads.
Calling millions the total expenditure
to date (and this may be considered we'll
within the mark the average cost must
have been about $4,000 per mile. How
large percentage of the roads OF the
State are likely to be built at any such
enormous cost as that?
The above figures show 465 miles out

--or less than per cent or the road
mileage improved at cost Of seven
millions of dollars. That brief state
ment ought to be sufficient to show how
impossible 1t is for the present proceed
ure and plan of road-building in this
State TO BE OF SERVICE TO ANY
CONSIDERABLE FRACTION OF THE
PEOPLE.
The Road Commission announces that
1t claims to have only $3S,O0O coming to
Cecil county for further work here, and
that the Elkton- CHESAPEAKE UIty road
contract will more than exhaust that
amount. Well, naturally as the contract
for this work amounts to about $4,000
BUT is THIS COUNTY GOING TO LET
THE ROAD COMMISSION GET AVA
WITH ANY SUCH CLAIM?
Many inquiries have been made as 70
the cost of the Elkton- Chesapeake City
road. The report of the Commiss. . l
shows that $17,S4SS6 has been spent on
the work already done. The bid of the
present contractors amounts, in round
numbers, to $4,000 (actually a lit Z
over tha). This will make the cost
total $67,S4S.S6, without allowing for
overhead charges" which will run the
figures up still further. The road, ac-
cording to the State survey, is SAT miles,
making cost of S12,336.00 per mIie, with
out allowance for Overhead charges" or
oiling. This is very much needed road
But no road is needed in a rural COM
munity at any such fancy figures OF
cost; NEITHER CAN ANY RURAL COM
MUNITY STAND ANY SUCH EXTRA
VACANT EXPENDITURES FOR PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENTS.

The Confessions
! of a Wife C

such an instrument in a state of
very loose tension, they resemble
the nerves of ordinary mortals
not in love, for it takes a very
strong breeze to elicit a sound
from them. But raise them to a
higher tension as are strung the
nerves of those greatly in love
and THE FAINTEST BREATH
will set in unison all the harmo-
mics or send sounds jangling
through the air which will hurt
the very soul.
Keats has said: otis the pest
of Love that fairest joys bring
most unrest"
think most of my unrest is be-
cause 1 am not able to separate
the raptures of love from the an
noyances of every day. Dick can
do this; he can put his love away
till he wants it, but mine is al
ways on parade to be jOstIed and
hurt by the rabble of self-analysis
and worry.
Men have such good "forgetter-
les" They are able to put out
Of their lives anything which an
noys them.
Dick was awfully angry at his
mother this morning. but by to-
night he will have forgotten all
about it and won't think of 1t
again till he pays the bill she
had charged to him.
He has also apparently forgot
ten all the love passages that have
passed between him and Eleanor
Fairlow. l could see that by the
frank and impersonal way he
talked about her.
shall be glad to see them to-
gether; then he surely will have
to remember, for she Is very beau
tiful and very appealing to any
man.
/ am very glad that I never
subscribed to that old heresy that
a manor woman-CAN ONLY
LOVE ONCE.
l believe If every woman was
honest she would never say that
only one love could come into her
life. l don't think men think very
much about 1t. They fall in love,
as Dick did with me, and, over
whelmed with a mad desire for
possession, they make all sorts of
wonderful protestations, and then,
perhaps, they fall out only to go
through the same emotional stress
with some other woman.
TIL M t.
low and l could get together and
compare notes, we would probably
find that DICK HAD SAID THE
SAME THINGS TO BOTH OF US.
OF course, / believe that Dick
meant 1t when he told me he loved
me, but / also know, after seeing
Eleanor Fairlow, that / must do
my part toward keeping him in
love with me.
Can / do this?
/ am no better looking and /
am sure she is clever. Are Dick
and I near enough in accord to
make him want me always?
Can I make myself a habit be-
fore / lose out as a desire?
Have lovers ever been partners
in the true sense Of the word?
VIII the little entertainments
which the sordid business Of liv-
ing makes daily upon husband and
wife hurt Love and drive him
away?
! cannot answer any one of
these questions yet, but I know
that as soon as possible Dick and
] must get away by ourselves and
work out our own salvation.

Last night, when Dick and I
were whirling through the bril-

triumphantly at the life of sordid
business and proclaimed itself i'm
mortal-this morning Love is
fainting and gasping on the way.
I am almost longing for my old
quiet-my old independence. l
AM AFRAID I TAKE THINGS
TOO SERIOUSLY, and, yet, /
sometimes think that my very
love for Dick and his for me
makes both of us more sensitive
to every impression.
