Men and women who can't get feel

Rrmp THE OCEAN CITY BRIpGE
From The Snow nm Messenger.

From the Snow Hill Messenger.
Everyone who is acquainted with
the large amount Of travel to Ocean
City from every section Of the Eastern
Shore realizes the need Of a new and
up-to-date bridge across the Sinepux-
ent Bay at that place. Il is no long
or a local question affecting Worces-
ter county. but the greater part OF the
traffic Is by automobilsts who come
from every section of the Peninsula
to Ocean City. and who are at times
in great danger crossing the bridge
used by the Railroad Company. Not
that the county and the company do
not do all in their power to prevent
accidents. but there are bound to be
inexperienced drivers of cars-people
who lose their heads-and there is
no telling when serious trouble will
come to such.
Senator Harrison's bill asking the
State TO build concrete bridge at
Ocean City, as a part of the State
Road system. should meet with the
approval Of the Legislature.
When Il is known that some days
as many as coo vehicles of various
kinds cross over the bridge now in
use. and number Of trains in be-
tween. it will be seen that the old
wooden bridge is not the proper
means for travel.

A National Betrayal
(I7rom the New York Tribunel

One thing-and only one thing-can
be said in favor of the Clarke amend
ment to the Hitchcock Philippine bill
There is a brutal ehrontery about it
which must commend il to those who
prefer evil-doing which is open to evil
doing which is open TO evil-doing which
is masked by hypocrisy.
The bill and the amendment do not
dilTer in purpos Both seek to alter
our Philippine policy in compliance with
a counterfeit political mandate. This
mandate has appeared in various Demo-
cratic national platforms. When the
proposition to renounce American SOW
ereignty over the Philippines was first
submitted in 1900. it was decisively re-
iected. Mr.. Bryan. theu the Democratic
nominee for President, made "imperial-
ISM the paramount issue of that cam
paign. In 1904 and 1908 the voters
again turned down the proposition, en-

Democratic platforms. It was only when
the Democrats came into power in 1912,
as minority party, that dubious
popular approyal-not a majority APP

that our cllcf duty IN the Philippines
was to get out Of them and TO turn

HALT PAVING WORK.

street paving work in the city has been
stopped by the Topeka Paving Com

62,OOO yards of paving have been laid,

will start on March J.
The contract was made on the basis
Of about Sl27 per square yard for as

largest part of the several kinds Of ma
terials. This price, it is said, is quite
low, and it allowed the company a very

A Distinctive Reason

What is the chief reason for the superb
ority of Royal Baking Powder
There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know. is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from
grapes. This means healthful fruit origin.
1t means natural food as distinguished from
mineral substitutes used in other baking
powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal
