TITLED to the nomination for Congress on
the Democratic ticket. in that article
we showed the present unfair treat
ment to the party in this county from
a lack Of Federal and State patronage
and endeayored to show that in con-
test such as the one approaching that a
strong Democratic county like Nieom-
leo should certainty be given the nomi-
nation without a contest This does not.
however, seem possible as the other
candidates have right to enter the
primaries and propose to try out their
strength We believe, however, that the
Democrats of the shore viii recognize
the claims of this county and that
Senator Price will receive one of the
largest majorities ever given a candi-
date in the primaries in this district.
The attempt of some of the other
candidates to make it appear that SEN
ator Price is candidate at the dicta-
tion of Senator Smith and the Balti-
more city organization will bear no
weight with fair minded Democrats.
That Senator Price has the sympathy
and good will of Senator Smith in this
contest should not be any source Of
weakness. to him, but on the other hand
should be a source of strength, because
it is a recognized fact that Senator
Smith has the strongest kind of local
organizations in all the counties on the
Shore. and his support of a candidate
cannot help but bring that candidate
many votes in the primaries. It is a
fact, however, that being candidate
1 himself, Senator Smith is not injecting
/ his personality into the congressional
campaign. but is willing to see Senator
/ Price and Colonel Sisk make their own
/ fights, assuring the victor of his hearty
/ aid 10 the general election.
It is but natural that Senator Price
] is extremely anxious TO get a big vote
in his home county and his friends are
very active in his behalf. 1t should be
n matter of county pride that every
Democrat in Wicomico should turn out
at the primary election and give his
home candidate eaqest support.

Our Commerce On All The Oceans
(From The washington Post)

The promptness of Japan to take
action in support of her ally, Great
Britain, is in effect a notice upon that
ally that in case of trouble in the
future for Japan in its carrying out
its views as to affairs on the Pacific
and in the Far East, Great Britain
must show the same prcmptness in
her support.
Those who look for a speedy end
ing of the war in Europe should
look beyond the confines of that con-
tinent, and observe the issues that
must be met. as they arise, beween
Russia, Japan, and Great Britain, as
to the Orient and Asia Minor. and
possibly by ourselves as to our Paci-
fee coast and Pacific possessions
Japan's action against Germany's
holdings in China is significant of its
desire to increase its own force,
power, and influence in Asia and
States cannot regard with indiffer-
ence the disturbance Of the equili-
brium of power in the Pacific
The Pacific, with our great coast
line in California, Oregon. Alaska,
and Washington. can no more be
made British Mediterranean
through its alliance with Japan. with
safety to ourselves, than can the
Gulf of Mexico.
Germany and Russia are no menace
to our interests on the Pacific. Both
Of them are our friends and have
in many ways, through more than a
century Of time, given abundant evil

this has within the past 30 days
caused Great Britain TO throw to the

Russia has been slow in mobilizing
her army, and that slowness, due al
most entirely to poor transportation
facilities, has been the determining
factor in Germany's plans for a quick
and crushing campaign against
France. Few experts think that the
Russian first line mobilization will be
completed before the end of August
But IL Russia has not been able to de-
liver a serious blow at the armed
forces of her enemies, she has dis
concerted Berlin and Vienna by a po-
litical stroke which may have a con-
siderable influence on the progress Of
the war in the eastern half OF Eur
ope.
The Grand Duke Nicholas, the COM
mander-in-chief of the Russian army,
has issued a proclamation to the Poles
i'm which, as a return for their loyal
support OF Russia, he promises re-
creation, under Russian sovereignty,
of the kingdom of Poland, with prac-
tically the boundaries it had before

tion free in her religion and her lam

bid for Polish sympathy and gratitude
which may 90 far toward assuring the
active aid of Russias Polish subjects,
and may also appeal strongly to the
Poles who owe allegiance to Prussia
and Austria
The vitality Of the Polish race is
extraordinary. Poland collapsed as a
state because of laXity in government
and internal dissensions. But despite
their loss OF nationality the Poles
have always maintained an ardent pa

HARD TIMES HIT LABOR DAY PARADE.

+ OR the first time in thirty years there will be no
Labor Day parade in New York this fall The
Labor Unions have decided to the money the pa
rade would cost and it to relieve unemployed union
men,
In times past. in New York city many thousands Of
union men have marched the first Monday in Sep
tember Their parades have been spectacular No
money was spared in making them a success The
horses in the parade were n-shod and the men
union-eQuipped. There union bands and union
badges. There we're union-made uniforms and union
refreshments So that the expense to the union men
for their Labor Day parade, in one way or another
led to expenditure running into a great sum of
money All this is to be foregone this year and the
unions very commercially will use the money to help
their unemployed brothers.
This instance Of practical charity on the part of union
organizations is attracting wide attention over the
country and has caused considerable comment especial

ed for a century and half all the ef-
forts of their conquerors to assimilate
them. They have never surrendered
their language, their religion or their
racial Conference. The dream of an
Independent reunited Poland still per-
sists, and even the limited realization
of it promised by the Car through
the Grsnd Duke Nicholas must stir
Polish pride and strengthen Polish
national aspirations.
The Poles owe very little to Russia
Prussia or Austria. In all three
realms they have been held down as
subject race. There has been little
difference between Russia's attitude
toward them and Prussias. But Rus
rian depotism has been tempered by
its own inefficiency, while Prussian
repression has been unrelaxed and
thorough. The Poles of Posen are
more bitter against the Prussian gov
ernment than the Poles. of Polanl
proper are against the Russian gov
ernment, and il is this fact which
gives most point politically to Rus

CONyICTS AND OUTDOOR LABOR.

EEUNDREDs Of thousands Of Americans, including
a \ many DeawareaEs, agree heartily with the hnd-
ing Of the Canadian Royal Commission that outdoor la
Dor is the best that be had by convicts. "od
Mother Nature kind to the fellow who is at
all disposed to get back to his better self Men who
have lived their lives narrowly clrcumscribed areas
and have fallen into crime likely 10 receive moral
and physical stimulus from the open air and sunshine"
On grounds the Canadian Royal Commission gives
outdoor work first place in the recommendations for
the development of the Canadian prison industries out
lined In its report which has just been released Work
on the highways is probably the most important Of
the things that can be done outdoors.
The Commission appointed year ago to inves
teate the conduct and administration Of the Dominion
penitenuaries with view to bringing about methods
which will promote the reformation of the prisoners.
Many Of the prisons Of this country visited,
and the commission also iourneyed to New York for
the labor problem with representatives
OF the National Committee Prison Labor.
The stand taken by the National Committee on Prison
Labor against the system endorsed by the
commission 1t suggests when the prisoner is employed
indoors he should manufacture clothing, boots and
Shoes blankets tents etc. the mounted police and
the militia; also mail bags and rural mail boxes as
well rs the articles usually manufactured in
prisons.
But above all the commission approves outdoor work
preferably on the farm or in stone-erushing Farm
work has proved successful means Of employing the
nisdemeanant prisoners in the province Of Ontario
.4ra development in the Dominion penentiares is
urged.
Road work is also suggested in the report but the
commissioners have the old that exposure the
public eye is scarcely fair to the prisoners. The
stretches built long ago by the convicts
in Australia referred to proof that excellent
roads be built by convots but the commission
the chains and other degradatons which attended
the building Of these roads.
Such things have passed away i'm the road camps of
tho Western States, where the men work under the
honor system. In Ohio the gangs OF prisoners work
ing the roads be distinguished from gangs
of free workingmen In Iowa 1t is the story and
in addition the men getting the wages as free
workingmen
Road-buildng is valuable factor in the develop
mcnl Of the industrial system Of prison, while the
sense OF freedom which attends it contribute
greatly to the upbuilding Of the prisoner. Moreover
it trains the prisoners for field which there is con-
stant demand for laborers and where there is every
opportunity for one who wishes to make good

they should furnish the phones need

the other hand, if Council demanded
