WAR AND PAPERS COLOR.

Literally, the war reaches into
the homes o. e'ery newspaper
reader in America.
Have you noticed your copy OF
the Item in recent days? Some
Of the pages are light cream and
others pure white. Before long
they will all be light cream color.
This newspaper, like all others.
is running out of its stock OF
bleached newspaper stock-and
the war has cut off from Amerl-
ca the chemical material hitherto
used by the paper mills. What
quantity Of the supply still avail
able is now reserved for book
paper and writing paper.
It is one of the thousand in
stances Of the way the vast con
flict affects the Oily life Of those
of us who live afar off from the
actual fighting.
Doubtless, American chemists
will finally work ont wav and
American industries will devise a
method. whereby this. and other
needs, may be supplied at home.
Meantime, we must accustOm our
xelves to the unb}eched newspa
per-and read by a brighter hight.

THE WORST NEVER HAP
PENS. &

There is an old saying toCthe
effect that the worst never hap
pens and Of course it never does.
It may be "bad enough it may
be hOrrible." but it is not the
worst that could happen.
Another bit of wisdom along
the same line is the remark of the
sage to the effect that his great
est troubles were imaginary ones
troubles which he was afraid Of,
and worried about, but which
never matterialized. All of us
have had that sort Of trouble-in
fact. the world is cursed today
with these imaginary ills. They
are encountered in the home, at
the office, in the mills and fac
tories and they are costly.
Efficiency is much over
worked word at this time. Ev-
erybody is talking about eff
cheney and inefficiency, but prob
ably most Of the inefficiency OF
the world today comes from
worry, and half Of the worry is
about things that never happen.

4 large and enthusiastic audience
greeted Mr.. F. A. Carroll. Agent in
Dairying in Delaware for the Wash
ington Government, when he and Mr..
Lintner of the Experimental Station
attended the meeting of the Farmers
and Dairymen's Association, Satur-
day, and Mr.. Carroll gave an address
on Cost of Milk Production. Mr.. Car
roll showed from figures collected in
New York Missouri, New Jersey and
several of the New England States
as well as the work done by the Bos-
ton Chamber of Commerce, just what
the average overhead charges in these
places were and that the cost of feed
was a comparatively small part of the
cost of quart of milk.
Probably the most instructive part
of his address was that devoted to the
lowering of cost of production by the
increase of production by keeping
better cows and better JUDGMENT in
feeding. In all cases the above re-
suits are obtained from we'll man
aged cow-testing association.

THE SCHOOL SUPERINTEN-
DENCY.

Last weeks issue of the Cecil Star
torial lin part):
''If the incoming Board of School
Commissioners right from the start
wishes to win public confidence, it
can do so by retaining the present
County Superintendent Merely
because he is Republican in poll
tics is no sufficient reason for max
ing a change. For the best welfare
of the schools it is hoped the new
School Board. Notwithstanding the
change of political complexion, will
follow the example set by the Re-
publican School Board of the
Lowndes administration who re-
tanned in Office the late George Bid
die as Superintendent, thereby ig-
noring the fact of his political
utilization"
We were just preparing our pencil
to jot down few words of approval
of this large-minded utterance on the
part of our Democratic neighbor,
when information reached us that
the new Board of School Commission
ers had promptly proceeded to elect
Mr.. Hugh w. Caldwell. of Chesapeake
City, to replace Mr.. McVey as Super
intendent of Schools. This action on
the part of the new Board makes the
advice of the Star superfuous and our
approval of that advice entirely too
belated.
We would be wholly unjustified in
commenting on the comparative mer-
its of Mr.. McVey and Mr.. Caldwell
for the SUPPLEMENTARY; and we
would be without warrant in stating
that the new School Board was gov
erned by political considerations in
making the change. We would say,
however. that it LOOKS as if they
were. Further light and information
may compel US to correct this view.
For the present We simply print side
by side the Stars editorial and the
School Boards action.

Walking Backward 5000 Miles

Walking backward from San Fran
cisco to New York, Patrick Harmon,
of Seattle. Wash, passed through Elk
ton just before noon last Saturday. He
is accompanied on his long hike by w.
H. Baltazor, also of Seattle, who is
also footing it. but not going back
wards. Last September two wealthy
clubmen of Seattle made a wager If
$4,000 that a man could not walk
backward from San Francisco to New
York. distance of 5000 miles in 2G0
days. The man betting in the affir-
native said he would give Harmon
$4,000 if he would take the trip, walk
ing backward all the way. Harmon
agreed to attempt it and the man
betting in the negative employed Bal
tazor as Waterman to see that all
the agreements of the wager were
carried out.
Together they left San Francisco on
August 5, 1915. They followed the
Lincoln highway Through Omaha and
Cheyenne Neb., crossed the Missis-
sippi river and walked east as far as
Pittsburg. From there they came
southwark to Washington, Baltimore
and Bel Air. They are at present 20
days ahead of their schedule, being
due in New York on June Is. They
expect to reach their destination. how
ever, before the end of this month.

OLD GUARD STANDS TOGETHER

The last Legislature put through a
bill to reduce the exorbitant tolls now
existing on the Susquehanna Bridge,
commonly known as "Murray's
Bridge. A strong and persistent
lobby fought the bill but it went
through and up to the Governor for
his signature. But that is where it
struck a snag. The "Old Guard" stood
by Murray and where the Old Guard
stands. there stands Governor Har-
rington. The Governor promptly We
toed the bill and the day was saved
for the Old Guard. But the people!!
Oh, that is another story. What we
now emphasize is the fact that "The
Old Guard Stands Together"
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1916-05-13

and the falling away from his cause Of
his own friends, simply illustrates the
proposition with which We opened.
Per contra it can be only sense of
great qualification to DR.. Frances
friends that in all the hurly-burly he
has handled himself with such calm
poise, such broad judgment, and such
wide and wise comprehension of the
whole situation, as that he comes out
of it all with more and warmer
friends than he ever had. All of
which seems highly encouraging. The
recount having been granted and
changed nothing, the convention will
now be reassembled and DR.. Frances
nomination will be confirmed under the
most felicitious and flattering condi-
tions.

"WHOM THE GODS WOULD DE-
STROY, ETC"

Former Governor Goldsborough
should realize by this time that there
are lengths to which a mans friends
will not go with him, in his political
action. Two illustrations of this fact
have been forced upon his attention in
the last few days.
l. In the first place, with hardly an
exception, his own friends began with
one accord to say 1--WE do not approve
of his asking for a recount" 1t seems
difficult to understand why Mr.. Colds
borough should have questioned the
results of the primary and cast asper-
sion upon his own party. The Repub-
lican party has highly honored him for
years; he has been a lifelong Office
holder at its hands. 1t certainly i'll
became him of all men, to "kick" ut
the result of the first popular pramry
he ever entered and thereby intimate
that his own party had not played
straight. The recount for which Mr..
Goldsborough asked was granted-and
the net result is not thereby altered.
1t still leaves France the party nomi-
nee. 1t only succeeded in exhibiting
Mr.. GoldsborCugh as bad loser"
and in inconVeniencing many cOnven-
ton delegates by necessitating the
holding of another session; as Or.
France refused to permit his name 20
be placed in nomination at Tuesdays
convention, in view of the fact that
Mr.. Goldsborough had petitioned for
recount an dthe recount was pending.
This action on Mr.. Goldsborough's
part seemed so uncalled for, unsports-
manlike, so discourteous to his party
and opponents, that his own friends
refused to approve 1t.
2. The next move of Mr. Goldsbor-
ough and his friends was an effort to
put f. c. Darlington over on the Re-
publicans Of Maryland as one of their
Delegates Large to the National
Convention in Chicago. The France
forces in Tuesdays convention We're in
easy and complete control of the situa-
ton. Having, however, no desire to
cede to the GOldsborough people one Of
the three Delegates-at- Large to Chi
cago. in the interest of harmony and
general d-feeling. To everybody's
amazement this proposition was met
by the Goldshorough forces insisting
on f. c. Carrington-a proposition
which eliminated the great Western
Maryland section where our big Re-
publican majorities come from, and
which further asked the Republican
party of Maryland to honor above
other and far worthier men, the "im-
possible" Darlington. The Republican
party of Maryland is not ready to burn
any incense tor even show any consid-
eration) to one Edward Darlington;
neither is it ready to commit suicide
by offending the magnificent Western
Maryland constituency. Hence the
France forces rejected very promptly
the proffer of Darlington and the
Western Maryla / delegates who had
come to the co ention as Goldsbor-
ough men 81 ply lined up with
France; so that the first test vote
in the proceedings the Goldsborough
people could muster only 81 votes out
129. Mr.. Goldsborough. of course
bad come up to the convention with
very much greater strength than that

Peoples Column

To the Editor of the Cecil Wing:
Dear Sir:-A paragraph in your
issue of last week headed "Club Wo-
men Oppose Suffrage" is evidently the
result of misunderstanding. 1t is
years of the club mentioned, not to
put itself on record as favoring or
opposing special causes which have
their own special organizations in
which their work can be more effec-
lively and advantageously done. A
new member unfamiliar with the
clubs attitude. asked for vote on the
question of suffrage Being informed
that the members could give only a
personal opinion and not one that
could be considered as committing the
club, she asked for an individual en-
preston Of opinion, NOT vote. on
how many were in favor of suffrage.
AS the club was still in session there
was no response. The president who
was already standing and the men,
Der who had the floor were the only
ones standing. The fact that these
two members favored the question did
not by any means place the club as
officially opposing it.
There are many members of the
Newark New Century Club who favor
suffrage. there are many who are
opposed to it. but they hold their opin-
lens as individual citizens not as rep
resentatives of any expressed record
of the club.
At a meeting of the club on Nav
8 | was authorized to correct the
statement above referred to as appear
ing in your columns.
