Whereas the idea of sending

New York World, the Chicago Herald,
the st. Louis l;epublic the Philadel-

hundred newspapers opened their col

was successful in collecting a varied

found their way into the Jason's hold
While it is woll-nich impossible to

THE MAYORALTY CONTEST.

From the Salisbury (Md) News.
In making their selections in the
primaries of candidate for the
Mayoralty. the Democrats of the city
should be guided by no other motive
than that of selecting the man best
fitted TO administer the affairs of the
city in the interest OF the taxpayers
Salisbury is getting 10 be big town
and its affairs are harder to manage
every year to give justice to the tax
payers Il is not therefore so import
ant whether Mr.. Smith or Mr.. Some
body else is selected from a personal
standpoint; the real issue is to Sc
lect man who measures up in capac-
ity TO manage the affairs of a grow
ing city like ours. AS matter of
fact the Commission form Of Govern
ment is what we should have, with
compensation sufficient to attract the
most expert and highest class Of men
of the community to form the Com
mission. The idea OF electing a man
Mayor of a city the size Of Sails
bury paying him the munificent sal
airy of $4,000 per year, and expect
him to give sufficient time to man
age the city as Il should be managed,
Is absurd on its face.
Having to deal with the situation
as It is now presented, the voters
should not be carried away with
prejudice or led into false paths by
the bleating of agitators who SCI
themselves up as superior judges OF
the public veal. At the present time
we have but two candidates for the
position of Mayor, Mr.. /. Ernest
Jones, now president of the council
and Mr.. William +. Bounds. former
1 councilman and former mayor. Both
these gentlemen have their respective
following friends, and both have hac
the experience IN office and are capa.
bic so far as their experience has
taught them. From these two candi.
dates IL is up TO the voters 70 select
the one which Is best qualified fol
the position and the selection should
be made with calm deliberation anC
with no heat OF passion or exaggcra,
ted feelings OF partisanship. Tn,

EDITORIAL OPINION

qualifications which best suit for a
man in this responsible position are a
man of calm judgment, good sense,
honesty, and who has the interests of
taxpayers at heart. II is not a posi-
ton for a man to seek for the purpose
Of trying to punish someone he might
not like or TO be carried away with
the idea of profiting his own business
interests or Of punishing some other
interests which might not be friendly
TO his aspirations to be a public Of
ficial. The only way in which Sails
bury is going to progress is for her
citizens to act as near in harmony as
possible and knocking and small
iealousies should have no place in
our municipal affairs.
The suggestion that either of these
two men can be used by any special
interests in the city is absurd and
ridiculous on its face and as a mat
ter of fact we believe that the Mayors
and City Councils of this city have
been as free from approach and in
terference from these so-called spe-
cial interests as any city in the Uni
ted States. The records at the City
Hall do not show that any special ia
vOrs have been conferred upon any
firm, corporation or private individ-
ual and we believe that all our form
er Mayors and Councilmen have been
honest and honorable men, sneerine

Came Home Early

Camp life is too strenuous for
C. L. White. He went out with
the old bunch Monday for a
camp trip of several days. Mon
day night as the bunch was
ready to retire about midnight,
they heard the voice of a bunch
of friends who had come out to
visit them for the night. The
friends came and got the boys
all excited and sleep was an un.
known quantity for the rest Of
the evening. This promised tc
be a little too strenuous for Mr..
White so he decided to spend the
next night at home in his bed sc
he came back, leaving the rest
of the fellows at Camp Forty
two.

Cost of Converts

At the meeting of the General
Assembly Of the Presbyterian
Church at Kansas City figures
were shown that in the home
mission field it cost $50 for each
convert while the ch1rchs spent
$270 for each convert. At the
same assembly the weighty
question of whether fermented
or unfermented wine should be
used in communion. The learn
ed blethern argues this question
pro and con and the discussion
rightly ended with the quoting
by one minister Of, s'Ye blind
guides, which strain at a gnat
and swallow a camel" I" No vote
was taken on this question.

Serum For Hay Fever

A Carthage physician claims
that he managed to make a
serum of three weeds, the golden
rod, the ragweed and the Spanish
needle with which he cured his
wife of hay fever. He further
says that of 20persons he treated
with the serum 10 were relieved
or apparently cured of the all
ment. He says he does not say
he has found a cure but submits
the facts as he can ascertain
them. He says that if he has
secured a remedy he wants
everybody to have it that needs
it. 1t is safe to say that if tie
physician has secured a cure for
this ailment he will have the
profound gratitude of a word of
many wheezers, sneezers and
other performers along this line.

likewise would be afflicted. The

fall they feared he had breathed

congregation stated that upon
his fall the members of the con-

that was nearest for the pur-
poses of exit. A physician was
finally called and the minister
revived to continue his work.

Wheat Looks Better

I i II b 4
Men who have been watching
the wheat crop in this section
report that the wheat looks
much better than it did two
weeks ago, One man said that
he visited a field two weeks ago
then visited it again this week.
He said it would be hard to
realize the field was the same he
viewed two weeks ago. He
stated that the Hessian fly larva
had developed and left the wheat
stocks, that is, the first crop
had. The flies before going,
however, are said to lay eggs to
develope again later. The
question now seems to be if the
wheat can get far enough along
with its development to beat the
second crop of flies to it. If the
wheat develops and heads suf-
ficiently to ripen to a crop, then
itmay be that the second crop
of flies cannot do much more
damage. At any rate the pros
poets for wheat now are much
better than they were a fortnight
ago and the grain buyers ex-
pect to handle a pretty good crop
Of wheat this year in spite of
the reports to the contrary.
The bulletins from the state
university counselled men to not
to be hurried about ploughing up
their wheat and this advice be-
gins to look pretty sound. The
prospects were and are bad
enough but it is probable that
they will turn out much better
than was anticipated.

Cook had battled with the grim
destroyer Of the physical man
heroically for months, but as in
every case, lost to the inevitable
foe of us all.
He married Florella Hurt
in this county, the daughter Of
one Of the oldest and most
prominent families, July 81.
1864 and after the close of the
war, come to a farm northwest
Of this city where they lived for
8 years. In 1872 they moved to
this city and engaged in the
mercantile business and remain
ed among our best merchants
until three years ago, when they
retired to private life, Mr..
Cooks health having begun to
fail. Lucian E. Cook was born
at Paris, Mo. August 20, 1910,
and at the age of l6 launched
out into the world the canoe he
intended to paddle to success.
At the beginning Of the war he
joined Shelbys brigade and was
with that intrepid general until
a wound near the close Of the
war put him out of the saddle
for the remainder of the time,
and it was while on this sick
leave that he met and married
his devoted wife, whose constant
attention day and night for the
past three months,is responsible
for the extension of his days for
so long. Besides his widow, he
leaves a son, Lon and a daught-
er, Mrs. Belle Snayely, and
three grandchildren, Misses
Ercell and Paulding and James
Snavely jr. all of whom, except
Miss Paulding who is in New
York, were present at his
obsequies.
There were few men in the
world who attended more strict
/ ly to their own business than did
Lucian Cook. No man ever
obtluded himsslf less in the af-
fairs of others, yet he was pro.
gressive, evidenced by business
and domestic improvements.
AS staunch a friend as could be
found, and his dislikes he kept
to himself unless the objects Of
them undertook to impose or
him.
From a complication o1
diseases he died at the family
residence in this city Wednesday
morning, and his funeral ser
vices were held at the residence
Thursday afternoon at 2:30 Rev
Meyers and Rev, Franc Mitchell
officiating, after which his re
mains were deposited in the city
cemetery, a recruit to the army
which knows no definite perioC
of enlistment.
There were a number of his OLE
friends and relatives of tn,
family from a distance as wei
as a large concourse of those a
home who had known him for 81
long, present to pay their las
respects.
