MaGEE AND HIS SERVICE.

a Riley B. MAGEE, Democrat who is completing his
~ fourth consecutive Mayor Of Dover, and who
unquestonably could be enomnated and reelected has
announced that he viii not be a candidate.
While we do not share the national state and county
political views Of Mr. Magee do think II due him to
say that he has served Dover benecaly and faithfully
Mayor and that the praise he is receiving for what
he has done in that behalf is well deserved.
He has made large sacrifices Of thought time. energy
and money for the welfare Of the beautiful and progress
sjve town in which ne has his home. The people Of
e>syer regardless OF partisan bias, should manifest in
some formal way their appreciation Of what he has done
FOR them.

RUM RUSTII Z i S I.ERS Frs FREE FREE
FROM TRAIN SEARCH

WASHINGTON. Jan. l3.-There is a
rift In the dark clouds that gather about
the rum rustlers. The Department OF
Justice has instructed its agents not
TO engage in the search OF hasgage OF
passengers on railroad trains for whis-
key or other intoxicating beverages.
Senator Simmons, OF North Carolina,
protested, for a constituent, against the
alleged practice OF Federal officers en-
terlng trains running from Baltimore
into Virginia and on South and golng
into the bags OF travellers in an effort
10 find liquors. He took the matter up
with the Departm mt OF Justice. and in
response to his letter, William L Frier-
son, assistant attorney general, in
charge OF the enforcement Of prohi-
bition laws, outlined the policy OF the
government.
Senator simmons constituent charged
that 'ofleial rufians" had boarded a
train at Quantlco, Va, and searched
the baggage OF passengers.
In a letter TO Senator Simmons, Mr..
Frierson said: Agents OF this depart
ment are under strict instructions for
bidding such practices as your constitu-
ent describes, and 10 is not believed the
persons referred to are in the employ
OF the government.
IF he can furnish more definite in
formation In regard to these searches
VIII institute a further Investigation
and ascertain definitely whether an em-
ploye OF the department Is concerned.

complaint is made were local officers,

BANNER YEAR IN SIGHT.

From the Easton Md Star-DemOc- al
EaslOn can look 10 the new veal
which we have just entered as the ban
ner year In the history OF the city. Il
The proper cooperation between citi
zens OF the town Is given, and II Oul
city Is alive enough to take a stant
for the greatest growth and prosperity
that has ever visited a community on
the Eastern Shore. Whether or not the
year 1919 marks a new epoch in the
life, growth and prosperity Of the Tai
bot metropolis depends entirely upOr
the city itself. and It's failure to close
the year with more prosperous cOndi-
tions, a large population and more
healthy business situation Will resi-
with the people OF Easton.
Blessed with natural advantages which
few cities in Maryland enjoy there Is
no reason why EastOn should not take
It's place as one OF the most important
towns OF Maryland, and one Of the most
prosperous manufacturing centers In
this section OF the country The geo.
graphical location OF Easton Is superior
10 a majority Of our sister cities and
Inferior TO none; our shipping facili-
ties, by water and by rail- are good
In some instances as any business
center In the country; labor conditions
are ideal, because there Is an abundance
OF labor at reasonable wages-more la
Dor. In fact, than can now possibly be
employed in the cty-because such a
thing as labor troubles have never ex-
listed here.
Easton has made the mistake Of de-
pending upon one great industry in the
pasta most natural mistake for a com
munlty 10 make, when blessed with a
great industry which has furnished
sufficient revenue for many Of its
people.
EastOn's one shortcoming Is a lack
OF manufacturing enterprises. Com
bine a few manufacturing industries
with the great canning industry which
nature itself has provided, and nowhere
In the great wide world would there be
a better opportunity for continued
growth, even greater progress than in
the past, and a condition Of prosperity
which would outrlval any city in the
State.
Several things are needed 20 make a
community a manufacturing center.
EastOn possesses most Of the require
ments. and with the proper amount Of
cooperation and united effort the other
requirements can elsily be realized.
Not one Of the least is the question Of
home capital for investment in new
manufacturing plants.

Editorial Opinion
RAILROADS IN THE CABINET.
From the New YOrk sun.

From the New YORK. sun.
After the disastrous breakdown OF
the national railway system because
the carriers had been starved for years,
pretty nearly everybody now realizes
that the roads cannot be operated with
out adequate rates any more than a
locomotive can be driven without fuel.
When the Association OF Railway Exec
utlyes asks for specific GOV ernment ma
chlnery TO permit rate changes before
doomsday, II is not demanding anything
which is not now d manded by those
In favor Of government operation, or
by those on the fence. When the rail-
way executives ask in addition for a
Secretary Of transportation, as the
governments chief officer connected
with the roads. they ask for something
which, in our Judgment, would go far
toward a solution.
When the navy needs anything there
is a Secretary Of the Navy to light for
IL till the navy gets IL. When the army
needs anything there Is a Secretary OF
War TO nght for IL. IT is so with all
other prime national interests repre-
sented In the national government, in
the Presidents official family, by q
member Of the Cabinet whose business
It is and whose duty II Is TO help such
interests when they need help. When
the existence of the railroads was
threatened by starvation rates, or some
other evil. a Secretary Of Transporta-
ton would fight for the endangered
railroads as the Secretary Of War fights
for the army. or as the Secretary OF the
Navy 0uhfS for the navy
The less Interstate Commerce Com
mission the railroads have in the fu-
ture the better It VIII be for them and
for all A Secretary OF Transportation
who knew anything at all about his
job could be worth to the railroads,
to the shippers and to the country
more than all the Interstate Commerce
Commissions, regenerate and unregen-
crate, the American people have known,
or, so far as we can judge by bitter ex-
perience. ever will know.

SHOULD RESULT IN GOOD.

From the Easton Star-DemOcrdt.
The meeting in Easton this week, at
which the superintendent Of the South
ern Division Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road came TO explain the reason for the
reduced freight service during the win
ter months. was a meeting that should
result in good to both parties and the
spirit OF the gathering would indicate
that good has been accomplished.
Easton has the assurance that it's in
and outgoing freight will not be al
lowed to become congested; that extra
service will be at once forthcoming.
There was good feeling evident
throughout the meeting. When D..
Cover, besides giving real reasons for
a full week schedule, said that it was
humiliating TO live in a town that only
had three freight trains a week. Mr..
Smith immed 'ately smOothed the doc
tors feelings. and that OF all the other
Eastonians who had the same humilia-
tlOn, by saying that Easton furnished
nearly 40 per cent Of the business on
this branch II softened the humilia-
tion quite a little.

No scraps Of church and state;

And nothing's in a fOment-

Deep silence Is in style;
The farmers are all steering
New cars bought with their pile.

Thus Trappe's without its fame,
And knitting's turned to darning-
