sTRAUs DOESN'T. TELL ALL.

From the Snow Hill Messenger
Hon. Isaac Lobe Straus has issued
another big advertisement in his in
terest as candidate for the United
States senatorial nomination in oppos-
tion to Senator John Walter Smith.
Mr. Straus cites the attitude OF Sen
Senator Smith on certain legislation
when the Democrats had not ghost Of
show to get laws passed by a strongly
fortified Republican Senate. Senator
Smith voted as he believed. for the in
tercst OF his constituency getting the
best he could for the people Of Mary
land. He explained his attitude and his
votes in a lengthy announcement last
year. His explanation was so acceptable
to the people OF Maryland that his
strongest competitor Hon. William J..
MarburS gave up the fght against
Senator Smith and took TO the tail
timber.
Mr. Straus now lays great stress on
The votes not cast by Senator Smith:
claiming that he lodged in the interest
Of the interests Mr.. Straus very art
fully nogects TO tell the people Of
Maryland that Senator Smith was hard
at work in his committee rooms with
the full knowledge that his work there
was more important to his people than
sitting in the Senate casting vote
against an overwhelming Republican
majority.
Mr.. straus stops publishing the
vote Of Senator Smith when the DEM
oerats came into power, for he knows
that the Senator has stood faithfully
with his party and has backed up Pres
ident Wilson in every possible way. He
has voted to uphold every plank in the
Democratic platform, while senators

BERLIN TO CLEAN UP.

From the Snow Hill People.
We are indeed glad to know that one
Of Worcester county's towns through
the progressivencss OF its mayor and
leading citizens is to have not only one
cleanup day but three of them. From
cursory glance at Berin's front yards
we hardly feel that it will take that
long to make Berlin thoroughly "spick

thorough man, wants to do the job up

We trust that other towns, villages
and farm homes will get this CLEANUP
fever. The ideal way in which to wage
this warfare, against Dirt, Filth and
Disease is to make every day a cleanup
day.
From competent authorities we learn
that majority Of the serious diseases
result from unclcan surroundings. This
is as true of the farm home rs the
town Or city home. Often we hear Of
whole family in the country being
stricken with typhoid or some other
dreadful disease. II the cause or causes

TO be in germ breeding wells, polluted
