To establish this most odious form
of privilege the House at Washington
has hit upon the idea that picketins

"peaccable means are not unlawful.
Iu an effort to set apart favored

amending the anti-trust law so as TO
exempt labor unions from its opei

A Presidential Request Versus the Expressed
Declaration Of the Party and the Republic
From the Washington Post

Repeal of the tolls exemption law
has been urged because of the wording
OF the Hay Pauncefote treaty; it has
been urged because the President re-
quests repeal, but not an advocate Of
repeal has asserted that such repeal IS
IA the interests of the citizens of the
United States or in accord with their
instructions to the executive and legis-
latiNe branches of the government as
evidenced by their votes at the election
OF 1912.
The present administration, il is but
fair TO say. would never have been
given political power if the candidates
OF the party had repudiated the tolls
exemption plank of the Democratic
party prior TO the election OF that year.
II the President while a candidate
had called upon Democratic aspirants
for the Senate and House 10 repudiate
that tolls exemption plank then, to say
to the voters then, this is not right; it
is not Democratic; IL is violation Of
our treaty with Great Britain it is
subsidy, how many of those candidates
for the legislative branch of the govern
ment would have obeyed his instruc-
tionsf
If they had followed such instruc-
tions and repudiatcd the platform, how
many of them would be in their seats

The President, as candidate. knew
its nature then; he knew its bearing
upon our treaty provisions then; he
knew it was not in the nature of a sub
sidy then, or else he would have repudi-
ated it and denounced it for himself,
and called upon other Democrats to do
the same thing as honest, sincere can
didates DESTROYS of keeping faith with
the voters of the Union.

bacco, and other trusts have been
convicted of these very practices, All
of them pursued by "peaceable

The Senate has not yet passed this
measure and the President has not
approved It. If by their concur

all other elements of the population
must hear, il will be for the courts
to determine whether in defining
crime in America we are to respect

In the unlikely event that judicial
sanction should be given to such
proposition, what labor new regards
as a victory would in due time prove
its ruin. The workingman's wei
fare depends upon justice With the
naked principle of discrimination in
the laws once accepted, the inevitable

Some persons. including the Cou-.y
Engineers seem not to understand
our recent references to the Kent
County Good Road Law requiem nts
as to surveying and plotting the
roads of the county. We mentioned
this as one of the duties Of the Coun-
ty Engineer which was being neg
ed by the absorption of his time in
road building. OF the county's roads
there are plots of such new roads as
have been laid out in the last sever
al years. and of those that have been
surveyed by the engineer as roads
petitioned to be improved, but
we understand that there arc
no plots Of most of the old roads, in
GLIDING the state road. The road law
provides that the County Road Engi-
need shall survey all roads Of the
county and plot them, and this he
has not done and cannot do If he is
kept busy road building, nor can he
do his other duties including inspec-
ton of bridge building. Next to
drainage of the county roads is the
need TO have them surveyed, laid out
and plotted, so that supervisors and
abutting owners and others m y
know where the lines are. and the
roads can be opened and abutting
owners kept within their lines. There
are many roads in the county that
have been encroached on until they
are not fifteen feet wide, and neither
the owners or the supervisors know
where the lines are.
