NEEDED LEGISLATION Among the sew
era features of Maryland's election machin-
cry that are lacking in practical common
sense, the happy.go easy, every county for
itself system Of primary meetings and county
conventions is lacking the most.
Assuming majority in state or county,
the election, at most, but ratities the work of
the primaries and conventions, SO that fac.
ton of the majority party and that faction
possibly q minority of the party really Sc
lcc,s-names- officers of the county and
state.
The primary and convention method is
firmly fixed in our American system and In
every state they should be recOgn zed by law
rs an integral part of the electoral system;
their action should bear Il legal relation to
both the registration of voters and to the
election, they should be controlled, hence,
protected by law and that law should be a
general one, ut least in the counties.
One of the absurd,ics that is proposed in
this matter is, that voter, in order that he
may sit in a rimary meeting, shall swear or
affirm that he voted at the last election with
the party in whose primary he desires to sit.
There are two Obvious objections to this;
first, it is IN direct conflict with tie principle
underlying the secret 5a Hot: what matters it
whether the voter is permitted TO disclose
his ballot on election day, or required to do
it nine or ten months afterwards? Second if
a voter finds himself in honest antagonism
vita the party with which he voted in 1899,
he is disqualified from voting in primary un
til 1901, as he must vote with the party of
his choice in 1900 in order to qualify him to
sit in that party's primary. We are sure
that in the counties few are ever found to
have attended the primary of one party and
afterwards to have openly affiliated with the
other. The "floter" we have and will con.
tinue to have with us; to require that the
secrecy Of the ballot be destroyed only IN or.
der to reach that class of voters seems to be
an unsafe proposition.
Let there be legislation legalizing and reg.
ulating the primaries, but it should not GO
| too far let 1t first recognize the primary as a
part OF our State election machinery; let II
lay down few simple regulations for tbeil
government and for the protection of can
dldates aud defining the conditions under
which men become such; limiting assess
ments and other expenses and providing for
the cert'tication to The regularity of candi
dates and the proceedings of the primaries
There are likely some other essential feat
ures should be enacted into law; othe
States have such laws and we believe they
work general benefit. 1t is time Maryland
had such law, embracing the best and mos
practicable features Of those in vogue in othe
States.

BIG FIGUREs-Mr. Mendes Cohen, for
mer City Commissioner, figures out the debt
due by the w. NJ r. r. to Baltimore City to
be nearly $lOO00000. He gives, as we read
it, as his principal reason why the road should
be sold, that the financial statements as made
by the company have never given the above
figures. 1t is Il palpably unfair sta 'ement
throughout both as to its facts and its deduc'
tions. Mr.. Cohen or any o.hcr Baltimorean
pretending to the possessions OF ordinary
intelligence and faithful memory, tha: ven
lures to refer, as he does. to the road as it
was twenty FIVE years ago and in the same
sentence asserts that Pr sident Hoods policy
during those years has "actually diminished
the traffic on the main line, succeeds in
proving that he has perverted his intelligence
to the bascsl of uses. wanlon display of in
gratitude and that his memory has convent
ent lapscs for he forgets that twenty five
years ago Baltimore City's claim could not
have been sold at public auction for one
tenth Of its face value. whereas, today it is
offered one half the sum that Mr. Cohen fig.
ures up against the road.
Some of these apt dealers in inuendo, who
intimate that Pres Hood has an interest in
benefi,ing the leased lines at the expense of
the main stem and who make other filings at
him, are far from being, themselves, above
suspicious: this big New York syndicate of

market that the rent of his stall was
altogether too high, and after giving
various reasons why it should be ma
terially reduced, he wound up by SOL
emnly declaring that he was losing at
least $1,000 a year.
We'll, Pat, If that's the case" said
the superintendent dryly, I'D advise
you to sell out and quit the business at

The man sank into the seat. and the
tall Illinoisan contented himself with
n strap. From beneath a great poppy
laden hat the bright eyes of 4 little

at him eagerly. At last he looked
down and saw her.
Wont you take my seat?' she said
politely.
The senator smiled down at her and
shook his head.

mustn't ever give up your seat to q

The Sword walking Trick.

Il had little party of Jap jugg ers
on the road in 1891" said an ex-the-
atrical manager, land got on to a good
many of their tricks. Most of them
were surprisingly simple in reality,
and one that | don't remember ever
having seen explained was the feat of
walking barefOoted up ladder Of sharp
swords. The swords were OF the ma
tive straight bladed shape and were so
keen that they would easily slice a
handkerchief in two in mid air.
Before sticking them through the
uprights to form the ladder the head
Jap always passed his thumb along the
edge of each from hilt to tip. AS he
did so he drew out a narrow steel tape
which was coiled on a spring in the
handle. The tape had a hole in the
end which caught on the point and
held it in place. and it completely
shielded the edge. After the walking
was over it was quietly released as the
swords were being taken out and few
up into the handle again. The weapon
could then be passed around for in

the Jap used some chemical to tougher
his soles. but the truth was as | have
