The Anti-Flirting Bill.
Hynchburg News.)


Now that the Virginia Legislature has
gotten down TO work again, the anti-firt-
ing bill will come up for its share Of at
tention. 1t is said that many parents of
SC hool girls, and many teachers Of female
schools favor the bill If so it IS a con-
fession on their part that they cannot
manage the girls. and therefore. they de-
sire TO invoke the strong arm Of the
government TO do for them what they
are not able to do for themselves. 1t may
be urged that they desire the government
TO restrain the young men from making
advances to the girls and alluring them
into Irritation. That defence will not do.
1t takes two to make Irritation as well
as a bargain. If the girls do not en-
courage the boys, the boys will Of neces-
sity desist from their attention. But, II
the girls are as eager TO engage In hlrta-
ton as the boys themselves. il Is not sur
prising that the boys are willing to meet
them half way. 1T seems to us that this
Is not a matter for the lawmakers 10

parents ought to be competent TO the
task of managing the girls and enforcing
judicious and wholesome discipline. The
Legislature has many matters or lmpor-

Of the session is limited by law to ninety
days. AS yet very little real work mas

In every direction we hear Of active eff
forts being made by cities to increase
their business and advertise their advan-
tages. The New Orleans Times-Democrat
Of a recent date has this TO say:
"The Executive Committee Of the Mer-
chants and Employers Association held
a meeting Wednesday for the purpose of
seeing what ought TO be done in the way
Of booming New Orleans. The association
undertook this work of booming last year.
it will be remembered, and did a great
deal Of good. capturing a number of i'm
portant conventions for the city. It's pro-
gramme of booming was somewhat inter-
rupted by the incidents Of the summer.
but it has taken it up again, and will
start TO work with renewed vigor. New
Orleans wants as much booming roW as
IL can get. If this was necessary six
months ago. how much more necessary
is IL now, after the stagnation from which
the city suffered during the fall?'

MARYLAND POLITICS

The politics of Maryland continue in
disturbed condition. The Republicans have
n majority of seventeen upon Joint ballot
Of the two houses of the Legislature, but
on Friday their candidate for Speaker OF
the House was Overwhelmingly defeated
This was brought about by the defec-
ton Of eleven of their members, who re-
fused to abide by the decision Of the
House caucus and Joined the Democrats
in the election of Mr.. Louis Schaefer, OF
Baltimore.
All of the eleven are from Baltimore
ard the cause of their discomfort is that
notwithstanding Baltimore has about
half the population Of the State, and
though it pays vastly more than half the
revenue that goes into Maryland's
treasury. it is constantly being discrimi-
mated against by what is called the
"Sixth District combine" Their object,
as we understand. is to secure a
more equal distribution Of public patron
age and a Just recognition Of Baltimore's
deserts in other respects. Judge Nc
Comas is the favorite Of the majority Of
filled by Mr.. German but the eleven are
of the opinion that that position should
be given to a Baltimorean.
OF course, the ring Republicans and
their allies ascrbe TO the eleven sinister
motives for their conduct, but If the lat
ter are the patriots that we trust they are
they can well afford to pooh-pooh their
chagrined critics.
No man, no outsider certainly, can
safely predic what the outcome Of this
revolt will be- but we take it for granted
that It gives no promise of the reelection
OF Mr.. German. 1t may cause the defeat
Of Judge McComas, but we cannot see
how it can result in the election Of Mr..
German or of any other Democrat The
new Senator will probably be Republi-
can and a Batimorean.
