REVOLT IN WICOMICO.


From the Salisbury Tribune.
The Independent voters OF Wicomlco
County have at last Asserted their man
hood and repudiated ring rule.
Tuesdays election was most en-
phatlo rebuke to bossism and partisan
domnition. The candidates who were
most valuable TO the old county ma
chine were defeated to a man.
In the legislative branch Charles Ben
nett, Republican; Elmer Williams. In
dependent: and John Powell, the least
partisan OF all the regular Democratic
nominees, were elected.
For Associate Judge. Mr.. Duer. Re
publican, and Mr.. Bailey, Democrat,
were the choice Of the voters.
For Sheriff James S. Chatham. Re
publican, won over Charles Duffy. the
Democratic candidate. Mr. Chatham
will be the first Republican sheriff
elected in Wlcomico in the history OF
the county.
For County Commissioners Fred p.
Adkins, Republican; Willie ellis and
William Mitchell. Democrats, were the
choice Of the voters.
Mr.. Atwood, Republican candidate for
state Comptroller Of Currency, received
more than the nominal Republican vote
OF Wlc0mcO county.
For County Surveyor, Mr.. Shockley,
Democrat. was unopposed.
The tally OF the votes showed the
greatest independence over known In
an election In Wlcomico county. The
straight ballots were comparatively few
and the old bondage Of party ties was
broken in evident desire on the part
Of the voters to select the best men
irrespective OF party afllliation.
II was a trying day for the Old guard,
that has so long dominated political
affairs In Wicomico, and the result is
hailed with delight by the masses as
a new declaration of independence.

The farmer has been selling most all his hogs, includ

because prices were uncertain and he has gned to such

worried the farmer, for many months past, has been
uncertainty TO whether his hos would be worth 81

Editorial Opinion
FACTS ron CELTIC

AVAN AAt-AO
GERMAN HISTORIANS.
From the New York Tribune.
The Sim Feln correspondence lately
seized and in part published by the
United states Secret Service helps in
cidentally 10 account for an important
and much debated Incident in the rls-
ing Of Easter Week last year.
All the official apologists OF this az
fair have hitherto been taught to say
that "the English" or "the Castle" had
planned a massacre, and that IL was
the sudden discovery Of this abomin-
able plot that preelpitated the revolt.
Thus that inlmitable comedian MIR.
Dewey, or one Of his fluent little
scribblers, went at length into all the
horrible details Of the secret military
order" and with a world OF fiery rhe-
torlc showed how THE patriots struck
and foiled the intended massacre"
Mr.. Jones likewise in his matchless
and most yeraclous history Of the
Instruction quoted "the actual orders
which the planners Of the pogrom had
secretly Issued TO ,he military" and
with Negotiating candor remarked that
surely there was nothing left for the
Volunteers TO do hut 20 fight or SUBJ
nit to being disarmed.n
Finally, the once industrious Mr..
padraic Colum Whose graceful SER
vices TO the German cause have, by
the way been strangely irregular OF
late) dwelt on the historic document
as the fatal thing (which actually pre-
cipitated the revolution" clearing away
all weak scruples and proving at last
to the most tenderhearted THAI, willy
nilly, they would have TO move az
once" e....
Alas for the shrewd makers Of his
tory their plans for winning the sym
pathy of the compassionate are all up
set by the unfortunate discovery OF a
letter from Sim Fein headquarters con-
tanning reference to the notorious
military order-"which order, by the
way" says the writer airily, was an
out and out fabrication for the purpose
Of forcing MacNeill's hand, who was
entirely opposed TO taking any often
slye action"
The historians VIII therefore have 70
begin all over again, recognizing that
the secret order FOR the Dublin pOgrom
must IN future take its proper place
among such immortal documents as
the Ems telegram.

THAT KENT suPERINfENpENcY.

From the Dover State Sentinel
Under ordinary circumstances we
should strongly condemn campaign
for a public Office Hike that OF County
School Superintendent, but in sne case
OF Miss Lodge the issue has been more
than a personal one, and that is wheth-
er Il is constitutional for a woman to
hold such an Office In Delaware. Again,
In cases OF law usually nothing Is to
be gained by trying the case In the
newspapers Instead OF in the courts.
In the present case the Governor has
the right to call upon the Attorney
General for his opinion and then the
Governor is to be guided by this
opinion. Probably this course Of pro
cedure would have been the wisest
one In the case under discussion, but
nevertheless, public attention has been
called to the matter, aud the result
should be 10 promote the cause OF
equal suffrage. No person should be de-
prived Of citizenship on account OF
sex. and no citizens should be deprived
OF the duty and the privilege OF vot-
ing or holding ONCE II qualified to DO
so intelligently and efficiently.

can girls and women. In France and

Of men resolutely, and have shown their
ability to do almost all kinds of work.
When it becomes necessary women will
show their worth in countless shops.
stores, factories and offices. No one
hears them complain Of their hard work.
These are the days when American men
have cause to respect, love and honor
their mothers, wives and sisters. If she
is borne down by the weakness and suf-
ferings of womankind, she should be
helped by q herbal tonic made with

success during the past half century.
She should be i0eI, instead of sick and
