Elkton Halloween Celebration

A general public demand having
been made for it, the Halloween COM
mittee has consented to organize the
celebration again this year, and it will
make earnset efforts to make this
years parade far superior to those of
previous years.
The parade will be organized along
the same lines as before, but special
efforts will be made to emphasize the
automobile and float divisions. 1t is
expected that at least 30 decorated
automobiles will be in line, and these
will be sent off first, forming parade
of themselves.
The success of the celebration rests
with the people. The committee can
only do the preliminary work. To be
successful there must be free parti-
cipation.
The committee desires to make a
special plea for financial aid. The
cost of these celebrations has been
about $3.50 in the past and this amount
must be in hand before the oath inst.
Contributions may be given to any
member Of the committee which con-
sists of ]. j. Minister, C. E. Finck, H.
Pippin, R. D. Brown, E. N. Sweet, D.
J. Ayerst, M. F. Magraw, Samuel L.

DIR. Mitchell Honored

The friends of DR.. H. Arthur Nit
chell, as well as this county itself, will
feel quite gratified and honored to
learn that Dr. Mitchell has had con-
ferred upon him by the Board of Re-
gents, Fellowship in the American Col
lege of Surgeons, and will undergo the
final admission exercises at the convo.
cation to be held in Washington, D. c.,
in November, next.
The conditions of admission to this
honorable fellowship are such that DR..
Mltchells selection by the Board of
Regents is very high tribute to his
standing as Surgeon as well as a
striking demonstration of the esteem
in which he is held by prominent Sur
geons of this State, number of whoc
were warm advocates of his admission
to the Fellowship.
This honor conferred upon DR.. Nit.
chell, will undoubtedly reflect stand
ing and credit upon the Union Hos
uita! of Cecil county. as he is active
on the Staff of the Hospital and has
done large amount of successful sur
gical work there, history of which
cases had to be submitted to the Board
of Regents referred to above.

Jackson's Strong Appeal For Darlington

In an interview this week ex-Sena-
tor Jackson said
every Republican ought to sup
port Col. Darlington. Thousands of
Democrats and Progressives will vote
for him, but as to Republicans, it is
peculiarly duty they owe to them
selves, to Col. Darlington, and to their
party.
GLOW can a Republican be loyal to
his party, which really means his
principles, if he give 10, the party
nominee his enthusiastic support :?
Loyalty to party is virtue, ninety
inc times out of a hundred. Let no
man mistake personal feeling or pri-
vate jealousies for conscience. | would
be the last to urge any man to follow
his party against his conscience; but
l am first in believing that there can
be no conscientious objection in a real
Republican when a candidate of the
mental calibre of Col. Darlington, and
of his close adherence to party prin-
ciples, is nominated. Therefore, if
loyalty be ever virtue, if party prin-
ciples are ever personal convictions,
Republicans owe it to themselves as
men of honor and integrity, to give
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1914-10-17
Col. Darlington that same measure of
support they themselves would expect
,yera +bey capdidatec

Col. Darlington that same measure of
support they themselves would expect
were they candidates.
"Again, every Republican owes a
duty to Col. Darlington. He entered
the primaries as every man had the
right to do. | felt then that, as Nat
ional Committeeman, my position
should be neutral, in order that the
voters might have the fullest oppor-
tunity to select their candidate. Col.
Darlington alone came forward. He
is, therefore, as truly the party's
choice as it is possible for one to be.
Nor should anyone think that because
Col. Darlington supported Mr.. Roose-
welt in 1912, he is less Republican in
1914. Many of us were Democrats
until Mr.. Bryan denatured that party
of sanity and wisdom. Col. CARING
ton was invited back. He has returned.
He has done his best to reunite the
party. He rendered valuable service
in our campaign last year. main
tain that any former Progressive who
returns to the party and sincerely
works for it's benefit is more entitled
to be called Republican than he who,
while nominally a Republican, holds
back or hesitates disloyally to support
the party's choice. Are not reunion
and harmony the supreme needs now?
Let us not then DISCOURAGE a return 20
the fold
"Finally, every Republican owes a
duty to his party to support Col. Car
rington. Make no mistake. This is a
critical time for our par:y. 1t is n
campaign of preparedness for the fu-
ture, as well as of victory for the
present, which must put US in condi-
ton for 1915 and 1916. To those who
need the sight of triumph as stimu-
lant-to those more valiant soldiers
who can fight on even without hope,
affirm that We have a most excellent
chance to win this fall. Have you not
observed that our opponents, discour-
aged in their attempts 10 appeal for
support on the merits of their candi-
date, and conscious of the weakness of
their cause, have steadily tried TO
create the impression that we are dis
organized and divided? Have not
their clever newspaper men constantly
magnified every friendly difference Of
opinion among us into an open, hostile
breach? Let us not DIZZY INTO their
hands. Our candidates are worthy.
Our principles are right. We will have
only ourselves to blame If we do not
win. We ought to forget self for the
next month ard plan only for a vigor.
Gus, harmonious party.

Memorial Resolutions

The Elkton Improvement Associa-
ton unanimously adopted by a rising
vote the following minute on the death
of it's President Frederick T. Haines.
In the death of Frederick T. Haines
this Association has lost not only a
W lued and useful member but its
chief inspiring force.
Its organization, mainly due to his
progressive thought and energetic eff
forts, he was its capable, efficient and
tactful President from its birth until
he was few months ago incapacitated
by the illness that has removed him
from our midst.
AS presiding officer he was alert,
courteous, firm, judicious, singularly
gifted in his ability at all times to
offer the right suggestion and to say
the fitting word.
His rich and harmonious personal
ity, his admirable social qualities, at
tracted to him wide circle of friends.
An accomplished all-around man, he
was withal modest, kindly, generous,
lovable.
His wise councils VIII be greatly
missed and his name will be recalled
with sorrow, when we rehearse the
story OF his life, so strenuous in its
endeavor, so high in its Ideals, so per-
sistent in its loyalty to rectitude and
to community and to God. His was a
genuine, sturdy, reliable, righteous
manhood. A thorough gentleman, in
him dignity and courtesy, gentleness
and strength, self-respect and con-
sideration for others were finely blend
ed. Honest-minded, clear in thought
and clean-cut in speech, beneath his
actions and his words was the bed
rock of moral principle.
And so it is impossible to say how
much we shall miss him in this Asso-
citation and in this community, 1mpos-
sible to voice the sense of loss and
grief that fills our hearts at this hour,
that sense of loss and grief finds
soothing only in the thought that the
wider influence of his life is not lost.

Bad Fire Near Zion

The barn, hay house and granary on
E. Wilmer McVey's farm near Zion
We're destroyed by fire Saturday after
noon, together with 700 bushels of
wheat and 80 tons of baled hay and
straw, and a lot of o.ner provender
and implements, entailing loss of a,
least $4,000.
The fire, of unknown origin, started
about 2:3O o'clock in a straw stack
near the barn, and soor spread to the
buildings. Mr.. McVey was away from
home at the time, but his son and
neighbors fought the fire until the
heat drove them from the water sup
ply. They then hauled water from a
neighboring stream and succeeded in
saving the house. Twenty shoats per-
ished in the fire.
The loss was partially covered by
insurance in the Farmers and Me
chanics' Association.
