Last Sunday evening Oficer T. l.
Klapproth espied car being driven
toward Conowingo, which, on &C.

his suspicion. He blew his whistle
but the driver, needing not, stepped
on the gas. When the one-seated
auto was oyerhauled and stopped il
was found to contain one Edgar

quantity Of liquid corn. some OF

with the gas, judging from the driv-

After disposirg of the feminene

out the door, leaped from the porch,
and streaked to the. rear, vaulting
the fence into Terry's field, followed
by fusillade of shots. A thorough
search was kept up in the darkness
and Goad was soon located at j. w.
Lawson's road house, east of town.

RISING SUN SCHOOL NEWS

Our school finished fourth in the
annual Rally Day field day events al
Elkton, on Friday. May 18th. In
the morning, our teams did not fare
so well. Our volley ball team was
defeated by the North East girls,
who won the county championship
We had teams entered in every game
this year, and feel that we were sue
cessful, because we introduced new
games and had practically every
pupil engaged in some, physical ac-
sivity Even though we did not win
the various games nevertheless we
got the benefit of playing them. In
the afternoon, we were more success
full. Joe Cooney won two first
places in the fifty yard dash and in
the standing broad jump. He will
take part in the State meet at Balti
more, to be held in June. Many of
our other entries finished second,

SUSQUEHANNA LEAGUE
Rising Sun Loses First Game

Rising Sun got away to a poor
start in the league race, Saturday
afternoon, but judging from the line
up the team gives promise OF
making all the others hustle to beat
them out. when they hit their real
stride.
Saturdays game was pretty much
of pitchers contest, as neither
team could do much with the stick,
McNutt for Rising Sun, and Coale
for Bel Air, keeping the batters well
in hand. The score stood 90 up to
the eighth inning, when the home
team seemed to crack under the
strain, and Bel Air was able to take
advantage of the break, scoring four
runs. This was all the scoring that
was done during the game. the final
score being Bel Air A, Rising Sun o.
The attendance was poor, the
weather being too cool for the fans.

independent Voting

That the head of the Democratic party OF this
state is confirmed optimist is evidenced by the fact
that he proposes to ask the legislature to provide
separate ballots for state and national elections
Inasmuch as the incoming state administration
owes its victory very largely to the fact that the TWO
tickets were tied together and that the state ticket
proted by the popularity of Hoover and fear OF Smith,
it can hardly be expected to be enthusiastic for any
measure that would prevent repetition OF such
an outcome.
Of course the argument is not only for separate
ballots but for most drastic changes which would
divorce the state from national issues.
There is no real reason, except that OF expense,
for holding the elections on the same day.
The issues in national campaigns can pever be
che same as those in state campaigns The functions
of the two governments differ. There is no reason
why those who think alike on national matters should
necessarily think alike state matters.
The demand for separate ballot is mild mea-
sure 1t might help some But it is not the whole
remedy.
The intricacies of the ballot really taking the
power of self government away from the people.
1t is difficult to avoid passion and prejudice in
national campaigns 1t would be better if there were
no other considerations problems presented at the
same time.
If there is to be any real advance, the elections
should be held on different dates and the ballot SO
shortened as to permit intelligent study and full dis
cussion of each and every candidate
But of course, the politicians will find many
reasons for not doing the obvious thing.
