HERE'S A LITTLE LIST

SO many startling and at times, dis
gushing deliverances have come out of
Ch!cago's educational circles. that we
are the more delighted when one of an
other sort arrives. Here it is-a valu-
able list of questions put to his class by
Chicago professor, as a fine requisite
of proper equipment for living:
DO YOU see anything to love in a little
child?
Have you sympathy With all good
causes?
Can you look straight in the eye of an
honest man or a pure woman?
VIII lonely dog follow you?
DO you believe in lending helping
hand to weaker men?
20 you believe in taking advantage of
the law when you can do so?
Can you be high minded and happy in
drudgery?
Can YOU So" as much beauty in washing
dishes and hoeing corn as in playing golf
and the piano?
DO you know the value of time and
money?
Are you good friends with yourself?
DO You see anything in life besides
dollars and cents?
Can you see sunshine in mud puddle ?
Can you see beyond the stars?

THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT.

WE refrain from any extended COM
ment on the Mexican situation. We
are too Disguised, too disheartened,
by the Administrations policy of
"watchful waiting" that has at last
eventuated in the ghastlv prospect of
a useless and costly war proceeding
from an entirely uncalled-for Incl
dent.
1t is not worth while to talk now to
people VINO are just ilowiing instead
of thinking; but if we are dragged
into war with Mexico, with its sad toll
of life and treasure, without reason,
honor or conscience to glorify the
sacrifice, we shall, of course, have to
support the Government until the war
is over. But then-and let there be
no mistake about it-then the sober
second thought Of American intelli-
gence will hold to stern account this
National Administration, for the life
Of every American boy and man that
is sacrificed on the altar of their mex
plicable Mexican '>olicy.
Won Moltke used to saw he knew of
a dozen ways to get into England
but he couldn't thing of one way to
get out. We commend the great
statesman-soldier's forethoughtfulness
to our own National Administration.

A WORD OF DISMISSAL.

IN it's issue of last week the Cecil
ial, undertakes to defend the new
Commissioners Law for this county,
but its attempt to explain the status
of things, after the repeal of the road
engineer law, as we'll as its attempt
to expound and defend the new law,
all this is so filled with mis-statements
(either from ignorance or wilfulness)
that we cannot undertake to make
any answer to the editorial
Just let US ask, however, if this new
Law is so innocent in its spirit, pur-
pose, and effect, as the Democrat
claims, why it should have been so
carefully concealed from the public
until it could be rushed through in the
last days of the Legislature; why no
least hint was given to Mr.. Williams
(the Senator from this county, OF its
presence in the Legislature by those
who introduced it, despite the fact
that Mr.. Williams had dealt with his
colleagues in the utmost frankness;
and why finally one of the Democratic
Delegates from this county opposed
the thing, describing the whole pro-
ceedings as unfair to the people of
the county, to the Commissioners, to
Mr.. Williams and to u.s."
AS we have said before, this is
matter with which we have no great
concern, because we had nothing what
ever to do with the proposition or pas
sage of the Bill Our only concern
hes in the fact that such havoc has
been wrought with what loked like
promising efforts on the part of our
people to approach the handling of
our public affairs in better. broader
spirit.
this is all the answer we care to
lake TO the Cecil Democrat and in
fact even more than we would make
in any case, were it not that some of
our people may be tempted to take as
accurate what it states so ignorantlv.

of the improved roads movement But
we are in hopeless minority in Mary
lands official life. Many perhaps
most) of the Republicans and nearly
all the Democrats will hear of nothing
but a policy that completes main
arterial system of good automobile
roads, leading from the remotest cor
ner of the State to Baltimore City.
In the light of which fact it takes a
peculiarly distorted intellect to try to
make party question out of what is
policy that receives the support of
a great majority of both parties.
Or, to put it differently, every man
of fair intelligence understands that
the last Legislature was overwhelm-
ingly Democratic and, had it so desir-
ed, could have Incorporated in it's new
road loan bill specific and binding in
structions as to where and how they
should build. That overwhelming De-
mocratic majority refused to take any
such action, because it would not lis
ten to any slightest suggestion that
might interfere with it's purpose to
have the Road Commission complete
the through automobile routes to Bal
timore. Mr.. Williams was the only
Senator who voted against this policy
on demanded roll-call. Every other
Republican and every Democrat in the
Senate voted for it.
All of which shows that this matter
is no party issue. 1t is, however, let
US say right here and now, clean cut
issue between the agricultural inter
ests and the automobile interests, and
some day the farmers of this State
will wake up to that fact.

AS the Commission has not yet been
appointed it has not been determined
how the selections will be made. 1t
will be embarrassing to have to line
the candidates up in person so they
may be asked to submit photographs,
with detailed descriptions of them
selves.
AS the exhibits other than members
of the Commission all is still unset
tied, but there is strong sentiment
against limiting them to manufactur-
ed products. 1t was suggested that
any fair exhibit from Maryland should
include not only it's chief manufac-
lures, but also samples of Eastern
Shore politicians, diamond-back terra
pins, oysters, crabs, clans, mad toms,
stony cats, oyster dredgers, rubber
stamps holding Offices, cobblestones,
buckwheat and weasels.

MEASUREMENTS.

THE curiously childish quality of
the Cecil Democrat S recent editorials
on Legislative matters makes one sus,
poet that they are being furnished by
Mr.. Fred H. Letter, late member of
the House of Delegates. No one, of
course, expects much from Mr.. Lef-
fier and we would never think of stop
ping to discuss him. But we do en-
pect the Cecil Democrat TO preserve
its editorial columns from such stuff
as has lately entered them. Its lead
ing editorial of asst week, was Just a
series of mis-statements from begin
ming to end; but we dc not care to
comment thereon, as its evident ami
mus was directed toward the Editor
of the WING and we never enter upon
that sort of editorial controversy.
1t is, however, entirely another mat
ter when we hear the Democrat say
editorially in that same issue:
The Republican State Roads
Commission SENS to think that
the wishes of the property owners
and citizens of Cecil should have
no bearing on the selection of the
route of the State road through
this county, etc, etc.
Now, it is not possible for Mr.. LET
fer, as member of the recent Legis-
lature, and a man of even the most
ordinary intelligence, not to know that
such statement is utterly mislead-
ing, because IL only states d half truth
and "a half truth is very often a
whole lie" according to the old adage.
The present Road Commission IRE
publican in its membership has and
does resist any attempt on the part of
the people in any locality to influence
the location and character of its i'm
proved roads. But this position of the
Road Commission is backed up solid
ly by the John Walter Smith wing of
the Democratic party, as was clearly
evidenced in the late Legislature. SEN
ator Blair Lee has always contended
for some measure Of local judgment
in the road building policy. In the
Senate Mr.. Williams, Senator from
this county, argued for just such a
policy and vehemently protested
against government by Road Com
missions, wherein the wishes of the
people locally have scant, or no, con-
sideration." Therupon Senator Price,
Beck and Benson most vigorously as
sailed any such doctrine and plead for
putting the direction of the whole
matter in the hands of the Road Com
mission, with full power to complete
the main arterial system according to
the Commissions own judgment"
That is the kind of a Bill which
Senator Price finally put through
carrying the $4,000, 100000 loan). 1t
had the earnest advocacy and support
of the John Walter Smith people in
both the Senate and House, and the
rest were whipped into line lest the
road bill should fail entirely.
What utter Misrepresentation it is,
then, to try to make party question
out of this matter. There is a dis
tinct division of opinion as to the
policy, some of US holding that the air
line, main-arterial-system policy is a
purely automobile policy and a great
departure from the original purpose

CITIZENS DEMAND
 MORE FIRE HOSE
Owners of Property On Outskirts of City Complain At Lack of Fire
 Protection.

Much complaint was heard last night from property owners living on the outskirts of the city and long distance from the fire hall, at the lack of hose to reach the distant sections of the city, thus preventing the use of the big fire engine which cannot be moved from the building.
 They claim that the city authori- ties should provide more hose and while admitting that the cabins own ed by them are on the outskirts yet in many cases they represent all they possess and that the loss of the cabins are as much to them as the loss of the business block to the business men.
 While not .:bjecting to the placing of the hose at the small building al broadway and Mckinley street, they assert that more hase should be pur- chased so that enough can be had at the Fire Hall to reach the smaller' buildings on Mckinley street. Broad way Keystone avenue.
 When the lack of fire hose was called to the attention of the coun- cilmen, all of them stated that more would be ordered immediately, but that the lack of it was not known to them

The reclamation service has not given satisfaction, through excess ot
 optimism on the part of both the
 government and farmers who bought
 irrigated lands. The ten years given
 for payment should be doubled, to allow them to earn themselves out of
 their troubles, by cumulating their earnings of the earlier years into in vestments for greater profits in the extended period. The secretary thinks that $1O0,OO0,000 more can we'll be used in this manner, and he sug- gests that the work should be done in cooperation with the states benefit ted by the development of resourc es within their boundaries. ..
 MT. Lane has written what is al most prospectus for the develop ment of the national resources. He is an optimist as speculator in flu lures, and he is cautious as a con- servationist. Thus there is in his report rare mingling of the meth ods of wealthy malefactors and of re- formers more rabid than he. He balances his proposals as our recent President balanced his literary per iods. In the pages of his report the oil and water are made to mix al luringly.

ment is due to booze. Boozing is due
to defective mentality or discourage
ment.
''It takes about three times the
number of men that is actually neces-
sary to keep job running under the
present system; the man on the job,
the man who is coming and the man
going. Booze is the reason.

he goes with the parasites; like the
parasite he consumes without limit.
A system that would make the float
er-parasite produce what he con-
sumes would automatically stop his
manufacture.
I'VE have been working our NUM-
cipal farm about two years with float
ers and hoboes. We have about 80 of
them on hand all the time.
And we work them hard. They are
paid so cents a day and are well fed
and have quarters in which to sleep.
ut is better to employ floaters than
to give them charity. Giving people
something for nothing never. pays.
Letting men work and earn is the
easiest, most economical and most
humane way to treat them. Floaters
will work, but are unable to stick
long.
But it always pays a municipality
to feed hungry men because when
they get too hungry they turn to
crime"
