Read the list of Cecil comity business
men, published in this issne, who bear
testimony against license and that over
worked so-called argument of every
aalooh advocate that “license helps bus
iness.” Experience shows that the licens
ed sale of liquor does not help any form'
of legitimate business, and the assertion
that it does is easily refuted, when care
fully investigated, as is every other argu
( ment that the saloon is a benefit to a
community.
Because you do not*hear license advo
cates openly espousing the cause of the
saloon; don’t lull yourself into the belief
that they are doing nothing this cam
paign. They are working harder than
ever, but under cover, having learned by
experience in this county that they
haven’t a single argument whereby they
can hope to win voters for; their cause.
The saloon men are conducting a thorough
personal campaign in every district in the
county, knowing only too well that to
come ont in the open with their fight is
to. conrt sure defeat, their one hope of
success being by the stealthy campaign
of misrepresentation they are now con
ducting. To .defeat this move of the
saloon advocates it is of the utmost im
. portance that every energy of the tem
perance forces be devoted toward getting
. out a full vote on election day, and if
’ every temperance voter does his duty on
' Novemoer Bth, there is not the slightest
doubt that the saloon, which has been
' banished from Cecil county, will not
again make its slimy trail in our midst.

The campaign on the Eastern Shore is
now at its height. Congressman Cov
ington is making a splendid fight for re
election and in A. Lincoln Dryden he
has a foeman worthy of his steel. The
latter is one of.the leading Republicans
on the Shore and is a good campaigner.
Covington, however, has the better of
the contest andhis chances for re-election
at this stage of the contest are two to one.
United States Senator Smith Is vigorously
backing Covington as it is highly impor
tant for the Senator’s prestige that the
Shore roll up a good Democratic majority
' this fall.
The Eastern Shore is the Gibraltar of
. the' Democracy in Maryland. It never
. would do to let it go Republican in a
Congressional year preceding a State
campaign.
The fight for true revision
of the tariff and lower prices is telling
effectively in every district. The cost of
living question strikes the heart of every
voter through his pocketbook and it
looks as though many Republicans and
independents would vote for the Demo
cratic candidates.
' W. J. Bryan On The Saloon.
Yon do not talk about fairness and jus
tice when you talk about the saloon. The
saloon is an outlaw and a nuisance, and
lives by sufferance where it lives at all.
You do not defend the saloon as an in
stitution, you tolerate it, if you tolerate it
at all, on the theory that if you tried to
abolish it you might get something worse.
And yet the saloons exert more influence
in politics than ten times as much capital
invested in necessary and helpful in
dustries.
Yon cannot build a slaughter house in
your block without consulting the people
around you, because you cannot confine
the odors to your own laud, and yet you
would establish a saloon and fill the air
with poison and then say to the people
who must breath it and suffer from it,
that they have no right to protest.
There are people who talk about this
. being a legitimate business; well, it de
> pends altogether on how you define legi
timate. I recently met a farmer from a
county that instructed against county
option; he said a man came to him and
paked him to sign a petition for a saloon,
and he refused on ti e ground that they
did not treat the saloon keeper fairly.
The man asked him what he meant and
the following dialogue ensued:
“You want to start a saloon in this
• town?” “Yes.” “To hqlp the town ?”
“Yes.” “To improve business?" “Yes."
“To increase trade ?’’. “Yes.” “Well,
now, if you are going to do all that good
tor this town, 1 think they ought to give
you a subsidy instead of putting a tax
upon you.” ' If the saloon is such a good
thing for a town, why is it we treat it as
we do? Why do we require the would-be
saloon keeper to secure a petition? Why
do we tell him when to open and close,
bow many chairs he can keep in a room,
and require him to give bond for all the
damage done? Can you not see some
difference between the saloon and other
lines of business, and does not this differ
ence justify different treatment? '
WASHINGTON LETTER.
The death of Senator Dolliver which
occurred on Saturday, will prove
blow to the progressive Republicans of
the Senate. He was- one of the consis
tent io who viciously opposed the Payne.
Aldrich tariff bill and voted against it on
final passage. His autagonism to all the
pet plans of the Administration was so
pronounced that heibecame, with Sen
ators Bristow, La Follette and Cummins,
an “outlaw,’* being denied access to the
White House or any share in the distribu
tion of,Federal patronage. His loss at
this time has momentarily stunned bis
followers.
Senator Dolliver was by all odds the
best rapid-fire debater in the body. He
was quick of speech, witty and resource
ful. He always bad an instant answer
for any question, no matter how intricate
or unexpected. He was the easy superior
of all bis associates in that respect. For
that reason he became the chief orator of
the insurgents, and was their main spokes
man during the tariff debates and the
discussion of railroads legislation and the
following session.
He was also a tower of strength in
counsel, and wa9 almost invariably pres
ent at the nightly gatherings of the insur
gents at the home .of some member. He
would plan with them the program for
taking turns in worrying the regulars and
making strong points against Administra
tion policies.

Director Durand is determined that the
examination of the records of the census
in the cities now under suspicion *of pad
ding their returns will be most searching
The padders will be brought to book.
The crime of census faking is regarded
as second only in gravity to the abuse of
the sanctity of the ballot. Upon the
correctness of the United States census
depends primarily the make-up of the
House of Representatives. The addition
of a few thousand names b> ultra-enthu
siastic boomers of a city or a State may
result in an unfair redistrictingof a whole
community and the consequent robbing
of the neigbbor'States of their right to
their prescribed share in the government
of their own country.

With the knowledge that fori the past
month cholera cases have been developing
in Russia at a rate exceeding 5000 a day,
the rtiblic Health and Marine Hospital
Service is exerting itself to the utmost to
prevent the introduction of the dreaded
disease into this country. While not as
yet assured of success, the service is
hopeful. /
“The situation is not so threatening as
in 1893, when we prevented the
ance of the epidemic in this country,”
said Dr. Walter Wyman, surgeon general
oflbe service.
Reviewing the situation, Dr. Wyman
went into details regarding the lavages
of the disease in Russia and 'ltaly and
told of the preventive measures adopted
by this Government. He said that in
Russia, between June 25 and October 7,
there had been 332,881 cases and 153,581
deaths, and that the disease is distributed
generally throughout the empire That
it has been latterly on the increase is
shown, he said, by the fact that, of this
number, 150,289 cases developed between
September 9 and October 7. The per
centage of mortality is morf than 50 per
cent.

Accusing Postmaster General Hitch
cock of attempting to hasten the final
award of a large contract for the printing
1 of stamped envelopes in order to defeat
"the proposed legislation which would
make its letting impossible, a joint com
mittee, representing a number of printers
and publishers throughout the country
has filed a vigorous protest with the Post
Office Department against its action.
The contract does not take effect until
July 1, 1911; and the protest calls atten
tion so the fact-that the House has passed
a bill forbidding such a contract and de
-1 dares that the Senate is expected to adopt
a similar measure at its next session. To
give the Senate ample time to act upon
the bill, the committee reqoests that the
contract be held in abeyance until
March 4, 1911.
The protest complains that the com
mittee’s request for a personal hearing
before the Postmaster General was not
granted, and says when the bids were
opened on September 29 only one bidder
appeared. “ That one,’ f the protest con
tinues, “was from the firm which now
has the contract, and which has appar
ently organized its business and with the
■
belj) of the department has so enormously
increased the same that no other envelope
manufacturer in the country-cares or dares
to compete with it.” -

The most surprising manifestation of
the New York campaign is the unanimity
displayed by the enemies of Theodore
: Roosevelt in their purpose to “put him
out of business.” Never did Roosevelt
have to encounter such concerted effort
to defeat him and cripple his prestige as
now. Uniting with democrats are large
numbers of republican conservatives, “re
actionaries” the Colonel calls them, who
have never liked Roosevelt, and who hate
him worse than ever since his return from
Africa and his Osawatomfe speech. All
the New York papers who dislike Roose
velt, especially those he has named as
Wall Street organs, are intent on doing
him as much political damage as possible.
In the meantime Roosevelt is having
an experience in a personal way that is
new to him. He is finding the feeling
against him on the part of some New
York republicans is such that they will
' not mingle with him. This sort of ostra
cism resembles that visited on the insurg
ents in Congress by leaders of the Old
Guard. It can be said for the Colonel,
however, that he does not mind these
things. ’Only it is a new thing and it
indicates how strong the feeling against
him is among some conservatives of his
own party.
The way the foes of Roosevelt look at
it is this: They admit that even if Roose
velt, after a desperate fight in New York,
cannot elect Stimson, he may still be
formidable, though they hope such a
defeat would weaken his prestige; but
they point out that it is absolutely certain
that if Roosevelt does carry Stimson
through, he will be a bigger figure than
ever. They say such a’victory would add
to his prestige enormously and that
nothing could stop bis re-nomination and
re-election.
“There’s to be no stopping him in 1912
if he wins New York,” they say. They
don’t know that they can stop him if he
loses, but they hope so.
The excellence of jthe daily newspaper
as an exponent of current history is to be
emphasized in the schools of the District
of Columbia, especially in the normal
atid high schools, where the dictum has
gone forth that the pupils will in, the
future be expected to read good news
papers daily as part of their curriculum.
The Board of Education issued an
order Which requires pupils and teachers
far enough advanced to digest the trend,
of current events as outlined in the press,
to keep posted on current events.
There are sixteen “dry” counties in
Idaho. When local option went into
effect there were 600 saloons in the State;
today there only 145. Of the estimated
population of 350,000, about 300,000 live
in "dry” territory. Eighty per cent of
the area of the State is without saloons.
Of the seventy-five counties of Arkansas
only thirteen now tolerate the saloon. At
a recent State election the "wets” lost six
counties. Two years ago the number of
“wet” counties was nineteen.

- PLAN TO SPEND A MILLION.
i " - f.:‘
’ Tuberculosis Association![Shows
How Money From Red Cross
r Christmas Seals Would
Provide Needed
Hospitals.
I
What “A Million for Tuberculosis from
: Red Cross Seals” will do in the checking
1 of consumption, is explained in a bulletin
1 issued today by the National Association
ffcr the Study and Prevention of Tuber
culosis.
Counting every available bed for con
sumptivesin the United States, even those
in almshouses, penal institutions, and
hospitals fcirj the insane, there are at the
present time accommodations for hardly
30,000 tnbercujosis patients. This is jnst
about one bed for every ten indigent con
sumptives,*and if all tuberculosis persons
in the conntry are counted,Jboth rich and
poor, hardly one for every twenty-five or
thirty. If sufficient hospital accommoda
tions are provided only for those who are
too poor to pay the full price for their
treatment, fully 275,000 more beds in
special institutions for tuberculosis would
be needed at once. The immense outlay
necessary to provide and maintain so
many beds in hospitals, makes it impera
tive, - the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
declares, that such institutions be erected
from public money, either municipal,
county or state. In order to get appro
priations for public hospitals for tuber
culosis. agitation is S necessary, and in
order to create a campaign of agitatiom
organization is demanded. But in order
that an organization may carry on an ef
fective campaign, funds are needed. .
These funds it is proposed to secure in
as many communities as possi le from
the sale of Red Cross Stals.
The National Association cites one
illustration of' the way in which a small
sum spent in education has secured large
appropriations. The New-York State
Charities Aid Association in the three
years, 1908. 1909,'.and 1910 has spent in
up state portion of New York about $55,-
000 in arousing the people to the dangers
of tuberculosis. As a direct result of the
public sentiment produced by this outlay,
the state, county and municipal author
ities have already appropriated for tuber
culosis work |i,500,000 and appropria
tions for hundreds of thousands of dollars
are pending. Hundreds of hospital beds
have been provided, and the Association
already aims for “No UpcaretTfor Tuber
culosis in 1915.”
Thus, the National Association says if a
million dollars is realized from the sale of
Red Cross Seals, millions more will be
added to it from the public treasuries.
Last year 25,000,000 stamps were sold. It
is aimed this year to sell four times as
many.
Why Kidney Disease Is Dangerous,
Kidney disease is dangerous because it
comes on unwares and progresses to a
fatal stage before the sufferer realizes
what the trouble is.
If you begin to run down, feel badly,
have indigestion, inactive Liver, ets., you
have reason to suspect that your Kidneys
are affected and a special Kidney treat
ment should be taken at once. Delays
are dangerous. Rydale’s Kidney Remedy
is the best remedy known for the Kidneys.
It never fails to restore them to health
Rydale’s Kidney Remedy will cure
Bright’s Disease if taken before too much
of the Kidneys are destroyed. The
Remedy can do no harm if your kidneys
are not the cause of your ill-bealth. It
is the safest remedy if they are the causA

A good story Is related of an Eng
lish theatrical manager who by thrift
and hard work had amassed a fortune.
Previous to the production of one play
the stage carpenters had to repair a
trap, and the head carpenter went to
the manager and Informed- him that it
cou)d not be done in the dark.
“Well, lad, thee won’t have t’ gas,”
answered the manager. “Here, tak'
this and buy a candle.” ‘
And he banded him a halfpenny.
The carpenter pleaded that they
wanted two in order to get sufficient
light. V
“How long will P job tak’ thee?”
asked the manager.
t - ■ - „
m -
“About ten minuted,” was the reply.
“Then cut t’ candle In two,” was the
answer. “Thee won’t have any more
money.”

Physiognomy.
It Is impossible to say just when
physiognomy began to be a ‘science.”
It Is said that the celebrated Pythag
oras founded the science about B. C.
540. It Is spoken of by Hippocrates
about B. C. 450, but he does not at
tempt to go Into the discussion of Its
origin. The first systematic treatise
on the subject that has come down to
us is that attributed to Aristotle.
I Throughout the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries there were many pub
lications on physiognomy.—Exchange. '
