Patronage Prospect.

This is the way the Cecil Wing, of
Elkton, views the matter:
The advent of Republican Adj
ministration on March 4th next is
beginning to stir "the faithful" in
local Republican ranks, with the
hope of landing job with the new
Federal Administration.
OF course, all the big things, like
Collector of Port, Collector of Inter
nal Revenue, etc., ETC., will go to
Baltimore City, for nobody but a
blind man can fail to see that the
Mahon Democrats and the Weller
Republicans have working agree
ment whereby Baltimore is out to
control the State politically which
ever side is in. AS both the Repub-
lican Senators are wholly identified
with Baltimore City, and have de-
pended .on the Baltimore City BIZ
partisan arrangement for their poll
tical preferment, it is perfectly GER
tain that Baltimore City is going to
get all the big plums in the way of
Federal patronage.
But there are little plums, of a
purely local variety, at which Re-
publicans galore are casting longing
eyes. The postmasterships, for in
stance. To be sure, President Will
son, by an executive order" gath
cred a lot of these postmasters UNI
der the classified civil service. But
a Wilson executive order" is not
binding on a Harding administra-
! ton and it is not improbable that
many Democratic postmaster will
walk the plank, shortly after the
gentle springtime breaks.
What Republicans will replace
them? The answer lies with the
dispenser of the Federal patronage.
That dispenser, in Cecil county,
would naturally be Senator France,
who maintains a nominal county
connection. And what France will
do with and to the aspirations of
local Republicans nobody is prob
knows the definition of the word
gratitude" he ought to make Mac
Vanneman postmaster at Port De-
posit. By that same token he
ought to make John M. Reed post
master at Chesapeake City; and so
on and so on. But politics is
cold-blooded affair and it remains to
be seen whether Senator France
will now remember those who re-
membered and befriended him when
he needed friends in the county.
We hear rumors of numerous as
pirants for the Elkton postoffice, but
the situation here is somewhat mud
died. The Elkton postoffice has no
attractions for most of the Republi
cans who rallied to France when the
local Republican organization was
fighting him bitterly. If he makes
selection, it looks as if it would
have to be from the ranks of his
foes-under which circumstance he
may make no selection at all to re-
place the local incumbent; or he
might even be so rash as to make a
selection of a man purely for his
capacity to render efficient service.
That is hardly thinkable-but
wouldn't it be delightful?
Meantime, boys, hug the shadow
of the plum-tree. No telling what
may happen.

Democratic postmasters in Mary
land, all down the line so as to in
clude postmasters of all the cities
and important towns in the State,
will be able to hold on to their posi-
lions under the Republican Admin
istration at Washington unless SEN
ator Harding, after he becomes
President, can be induced by po.iti-
clans to revoke the civil service or
der promulgated by President Will
son on March 81, 1917, which will
protect postmasters of the first,
second and third classes.
There are 1885 of these offices
embraced in the three classes,
ranging in Importance from the
postmasters of big cities like Balti-
more, New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago and St. Louis, down to vii
lage postmasters whose salaries on
account of Office receipts are fixed at
$1,000 year. There are approx
mately $4,000 postoffices in the
United States, including those of the
fourth class, and which under the
new regulations are selected, strict
ly through competitive examinations
which are conducted by the United
States Civil Service Commission.
Since the November election there
have been conferences among Re-
publican leaders with view of as
pertaining how strong sentiment is
for requesting Mr.. Harding to sci
aside the Wilson order after the
former takes hold of the reins OF
government at Washington. While
those who are agitating the matter
are not willing to admit they are
trying to have the old "spoils" sys-
tenn restored, they profess that on
account of the large number of un-
satisfactory pOstmasters appointed
by the present Administration on
the recommendation of Postmaster
General Burleson they would be do
ing the country service if gener.
al wedding out were to commence
as soon as possible under the Hard,
ing Administration to make room
for some hungry Republicans.
During the Administration Of
President Taft United States Con
suls of all classes were brought
through executive order under civil
service regulations, and that pre-
vented his successor, President vii,
son, from appointing Democrats tc
these important pc S t i o n S. Oi
course, President Wilson had the
power to revoke the order by his
predecessor He was urged to dc
so by prominent Democrats in all
sections of the country, in view OF
the fact that practically all of the
desirable consular positions were
then and still are held by Republi.
cans who were originally appointed
under the Mckinley and Roosevelt
Administrations.
1t caused a howl among aspiring
Democrats when they realized how
completely they had been shut out
Some deaths and designations have
occurred, but even under those cir
cumstances the consular places have
been beyond the reach of Democrats
who have relied upon political pull.

a Bathroom For the Form

In no way is electricity serving the
farm family better than in making
possible a modern up-to-date bath
room.
When water had to be pumped and
carried by hand, when il had TO be
heated on the kitchen stove, and when
tubs had to be gotten out especially.
then getting ready for and taking a bath
meant lot of disturbance and muss.
But electricity has done away with all
this. The small electric light and
power plants now in use on so many
farms all over the country furnish
plenty of power for the operation of
electric pumping systems. These sys-
TENS have been developed to such a
great extent in the last few years, that
they are now almost entirely auto
matte. Once installed, the pump, driv
en- by an electric motor and controlled
by a pressure switch, keeps water un-
der pressure at faucets all over the
house. The water service thus obtain
ed is in result the same as that enioy-
ed in the city. There are very eff
hcient heaters, too, which will heat

plenty of water for a bath in a half
hour or less, or which will keep the
water hot all the time if desired. All
this means that any member of the
farm family can now have a hot bath
in real tub at the mere turn of the
hot water faucet.
State health departments have TO,
many years urged the adoption on the
farm of sanitary measures such as in
doors toilets and sewage disposal sys-
TENS and the same authorities are
thoroughly convinced Of the value of
the health of the farm family of con-
venient, ready-at -the-minute bathing
facilities.
Many farms that have electricity
consider the bath room the best SER
vice electricity has given them, but
there are, of course, many other
reasons for the increasing popularity
of electricity on the farm. Ii gives the
best of light in all parts of the house
and barn, it does all such chores as
pumping, milking, separating and
sweeping, and in doing these things il
lightens the labors of every member of
the farm family

women. Debonair. finely groomed,

broken hearts behind him on every

Challoner, who Is in dire trouble be-

She has been won Yer by some

wings of the Morning." a picturi-
cation of the novel by Louis Tracy
with William Farnum, the William
Fox star. playing h leading role,
was shown for the first time in this
city yesterday al the Crescent Theatre.
The story is full of dramatic action,
suspense and thrilling situations.
As the young British officer who
is unjustly accused by a pair of
schemers, and dismissed from the
army in disgrace, and later as a sailor
on board a vessel which is wrecked
in a typhoon, Mr.. Farnum gives a
superbly virile and dramatic perfor-
nance. Never has he surpassed his
work in this latest Of his successes.
The audience was spellbound
throughout the unfolding OF the unus-
ually dramatic story. Mr.. Farnum
never was seen to better advantage and
his role Is one that will d more
admirers to his already large follow
ing. His support is exceedingly capable
and the direction of j. Gordon Ed
wards vas without a flaw.
A shipwreck scene, In which the
hero and heroine are cast upon the
uninhabited island, Is startling in
It's realism. and the adventures OF
the pair are filled with heart-stirring
Incidents.
William Farnum was born in Boston
July 4th, 1876. When he was still a
child his family moved to Bucksport,
Me-, where he received his education.
From early boyhood he had longed
for the stage. and when but fifteen
made his first appearance In a stock
company that was managed by his
father.
Before going into the silent drama,
Mr.. Farnum was seen in "Virginius,'

revival of Arizona"
