TALK OUT. GENTLEMEN.

We notice our Democratic friends
are going to have a mass meeting in
Elkton tonight Saturday., and MIR.
Lewis, candidate for U. S. Senator,
and Mr.. Price, candidate in this Dis
trict for Congress, are expected to
address the meeting. We hope the
gentlemen will be present and will be
able to discuss their claims to the vote
of our good people of Cecil. While
they are engaged in that discussion
we also hope Mr.. Price will not fail to
explain to his constituency how he
came to cast that "wet" vote in Con-
gress. We also hope Mr.. Lewis will
regale his audience with some of his
congressional utterances on govern
mental ownership" Since coming I'M
der the political patronage of one
John Walter Smith. Nj. Lewis seems
to have steered away from his we'll
known views along Socialistic lines
due perhaps to the eXigencies of d
campaign and the necessity of getting
votes. We hope neither Mr.. Price nor
NJ. Lewis will feel hampered in any
wise in their utterances tonight but
will talk right out and let the folks
know just where they stand on things
that are of interest to their consti-
of course. that they
themselves know where they stand.

For Raise In Price OF Mix

Messrs. E. W. Dawson, C. Dunbar,
w. Buckworth. Secretary-elect John
Frazer and G. F. Marsh, CountyAgent,
formed the Cecil county delegation
who attended the organization meet
ing of the Tri-State Milk Producers
Association at Wilmington. last Sat
urday afternoon.
About 200 enthusiastic dairymen
attended and agreed to stand for five
cent milk. The Secretary was IN
structed to notify all milk dealers
that the price for October would be 5
cents per quart.
In the evening Messrs. A. Wilson,
W. A. Woolleyhan, W. Buckworth and
County Agent Marsh went to Ken
nedyville and in cooperation with
County Agent Burroughs formed an
enthusiastic association there which
will put up the price and thus prevent
the Wilmington Milk Dealers from
buying cheaper milk in the country.
The First District COMMUNICATIVE
has called a meeting for Friday even
ing at 8 o'clock. October Is, for the
same purpose.
All Investigations made by the Ex-
pertinent Stations and also federal
authorities show that milk cannot be
produced under present conditions for
less than 5 cents and with present
prices the production of milk is a
losing business for the farmer and
unless something is done, as many
farmers are going out of the business,
there will be a milk famine in this
country.

ciples of Democracy as laid down by
Thomas Jefferson. Mr.. Wilson ana
his associates have, in my opinion,
perverted Jeffersonian Democracy into
Socialism. / am not a Socialist and
when the Democratic party became a
party of Socialists it left me to a
choice between it and the Republican
party.
Moreover, though l Formerly be-
lieved in free trade, now think pro-
lection is necessary for the country's
prosperity, and | believe the Republi-
can party understands what is best ror
the economic welfare of labor and the
commercial interests of the country.
Labor should share with capital
the benefits of unusual prosperity. In
my opinion the wages of all railroad
employees should have been raised and.
at the same time the freight rates
should have been increased sufficient
ly, to take care of this Increase in
wages and to give stockholders a fair
return on capital invested. However.
this should have been done properly
and in order.
"Mr. Wilson's handling of the bro
therhood's demands indicates, in my
judgment, weakness anG cowafdice.
No four men, or 100000 men. whether
capitalists or workingmen, should be
allowed to hold up the government of
the country, and no president and
Congress permitting this should sue
coed itself.

MR.. LEWIS GETS ANOTHER JOLT

| was somewhat amused yesterday
to hear a Senator state that a member
of the House-Mr. Lewis-was the
father of the parcel post. AS l re-
member, he is not a member of the
Postoffice Committee. and had nothing
to do with preparing the parcel post
bill as it passed the Senate If any
body deserves the credit for the par
Gel post system, it is ex-senator
Bourne, of Oregon, who spent Il
months in working it out and accu-
mulating a fund of information that
is now on file in the Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads of this
body. which will stand as monument
to mis- energy as long as the records of
that committee are preserved.

ties are having trouble in getting any
one to serve as assessors for the new
assessment, ordered by the State Tax
Commission. The Commission has
ordered real estate to be assessed at
its full value and resignfng assessors
base their resignation on the fact
that such action would be too great d
hardship on the already over-our-
dened taxpayer. Well, our Demo-
cratic administration of affairs in this
State has come pretty high, but then

They just must do it, let it cost what
