POLITICAL PARALLELS

There is an amazing parallel of names and cir cumstances between the present political hour and 1912: and some possibility that the names and cir cumstances will continue parallel at least continue related
 In 1912 William Howard Taft was President and candidate for reelection Now his Robert Taft of Ohio is freshly elected United States Senator and suddenly given Presidential glamor.
 In 1912 Champ Clark of Illinois was speaker of the House and a Presidential asprant who was de- feated for his partys nomination by abrupt last minute shift of votes to Woodrow Wilson. genera ton later his son. Senator Bennett Champ Clark, is freshly reelected and like Taft given Presidential glamor.
 In those days an important left wing liberal was the elder Senator Bob LaFollette. Now his young Bob has his place in the Senate important left wing liberal
 In the White House is a Roosevelt who, to a cer- tain degree had his counterpart in the earlier Theo- dore Roosevelt The 1888 Roosevelt has just suffered something of setback in his effort to build around him a solid liberal party The earlier Roosevelt in 1912 made more exciting effort going to the extent of splitting the Republican party wide open pulling the Progressive clements with him. It per mtted election of Woodrow Wilson who drew decided minority of the total popular vote
 There has been talk that the 1888 Roosevelt might hesitate split his party in 194O in effort to carry into office the part of it he considers progress sve
 Overseas there is another parallel which may bring on conditions having tremendous Bearing on the type of President this country wishes in power. In 1912 t was Kaiser Wilhelm who was looked upon as the disturbing influence with his demands for a place the sun to be had at the price of rivalry with Britain for naval supremacy and rivalry with half of Continental Europe for command of the land
 In 1888 Fuehrer Hitler dictator of later Ger many, is pushing toward the east, like Wilhelm, and is demanding a place in the sun He demands return of the colonies which Germany obtained years ago by Kaiser Wilhelms bluff and buster
 It is great game this paralleing business but should not be carried too far, nor should too much be read into it. Wisely not this country is presum ing that within the next few it will have to fight No such thought troubled 1912 America. It rested in it's feeling of complete isolation from foreign fightngan built nothing for fighting or threatening.

eHoroscobe The stars incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1888


 Stars frown upon the planet Earth today, according to astrology. It is a date for carefully planned activities.
 Women may find this day when obstacles appear in the routine of household and social interests. Nerves should be forgotten and pa tience cultivated.
 Under this configuration unex- pected guests, bad weather and trouble with servants may cause difficulties in entertaining, but many festivities will be successful, especially in Washington, D. c.
 Sinister portents for workers pre- sage disappointments and added economic burdens. Relief changes will cause dissatisfaction in the new year.
 Old persons should conserve their energies: illness is indicated for men and women past middle age. Colds will appear in many forms.
 This is an suspicious date for clearing up financial obligations.
 A London astrologer in forecast ing events for 1889 calls attention to the fact that the Moons several occultations of Uranus in the new year are similar to those of the Moon and Jupiter when the World War started.
 AS Uranus is in aspects read as threatening to the rule of dictators, 1889 may be marked by many changes in Europe or at least by waning of power for the totalitarian governments.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of exacting financial experiences. Strife with elders may be unfortunate for young men and women. Diplomacy will be required in adjusting home econom- ics.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be of scientific or practi- cal bent. These subjects of Sagit- tarius are systematic, determined and successful.
 Edwin Rowland Blashfield, paint CT, was born on this day 1843. Others who have celebrated it as birth day include Maxwell Anderson, dra- matist 1888; George Gorham Groat, economist, 1871.

Health Department milk activities to
include the small unincorporated towns.
Heretofore, milk work has been con-
fined to the town of Snow Hill, Berlin,
Ocean City and Pocomoke, and it is
gratifying to note that the quality
of the milk has been improved as we'll
as the sanitary conditions on the
dairy farms. Believing that similar
results can be achieved in other parts
of the county, canvass was made in
Stockton, Girdletree, Newark, Bishop
Vile and Whaleyville, to determine
how much, if any, raw milk is sold in
these towns and how many milk deal
ers are operating. 1t was found that
quite bit of milk is consumed in
these smaller towns and several milk
dealers operating. It is planned to in
crease the total number of monthly
samples submitted to the laboratory
by about fifteen milk specimens. This
will mean about a total of forty milk
samples examined each month from
Worcester County.
The communicable diseases reported
in March are. Whooping Cough, l.;

cratic Club of Worcester County

ent as this body of young voters did
some very constructive work in their
party while active.

hopeful eyes in the direction of this
organization realizing the value OF
the young Democratic vote in this com
ing campaign.
The officers of this club have ex-
pressed the desire for a public meet
ing of all of those holding active Of
flee in the old organization and also
of all members whether in good stand

ton to the voting strength of theil
party in this County.
