THANKsGIyING.

OF all our Holidays the one that is
peculiarly and first American is
Thanksgiving. Before the grand and
glorious ''Fourth of July''was Thanks
giving. It goes back to the Pilgrim
Fathers who in 1921 found in the abun-
dant harvest cause for retur ming their
heartfelt thanks to q smiling providence.
They had none of the lnxuries and but
few of the comforts of latter day life,
yet they rendered sincere Thanksgiv-
ing. Who that reads their history
doubts itP
Let the man or the woman of to-day
who feels he or she has the least cause
for being appreciatve for the happenings
and the harvests Of the year as comm g
to him or to her compare the rugged
life Of self-denial of the Pilgrims with
the life of the closing years OF the nine
teenth century, hard though may you
think it and be thankful. The honored
New England ancestry were grateful fol
life and the bare means of sustenance.
how much more have the citizens Of our
favored land to-day! More of the sab
stantials OF life, not to mention the
luxuries possessed by SO many. Let
the rembrance of this open the heart to
Christrian charity that he who gives
and he who receives may be alike truly
thankful. None so poor in substance
or in spirit but may find cause for true
Thanksgiving, and may the causes to
the sincere increase and multiply with
the years as they pass.

E1EcTroN LAWS.

The Secretary of State, it is stated, under
direction Of the Governor, has written an in
dividual letter to each of the Supervisors of
Election in the State, asking his opinion in
what respects the election law can be
amended SO as to make it more effective.
The Governor, in this way,is securing some
material for his message. He intends to
recommend the passage of primary cleo.
ton law.-Chestertown Transcript.
Governor Lowndes should be COM
mended in this matter. Honest and
fair election laws, with honest and fair
Interpretation and application of them,
are what the people want. Politicians
prefer something very different, some
thing elastic, something by which their
crowd can get in, whether Of party or
of faction. The laws for primary cleo
tions should be just as strict and
guarded just as closely.
But the laws should be as plain as
possible, and without technicalities.
The ballot system in this State, called
the Australian ballot law, is complex
and does not answer Che purpose. It
was passed ostensibly to prevent brib-
cry, yet at the election after its passage
bribery was more open than at any
previous election. Dishonest voters
assistants have conspired to change the
ballots Of illiterate voters, and con-
scienceless election clerks have purposly
marred ballots, while inspectors have
defaced them, that they may be thrown
out in the count. There is here an en-
couragement Of dishonesty, nay Of ras-
cality, and the perpetrators shield
themselves behind the secrecy of the
ballot law. No law should suffer this,
and when the intention is for fair
and impartial election such defects are
changed at once. This has not been
done IN Delaware. The defects have
been allowed to exist as though the
purpose has been to put premium on
dishonesty. The efforts Of Gov. Lown-
des to perfect the Maryland law should
be commended, and all the assistance
possible to make elections fair and
honest should be given him.
