Hebrews May Be DISTINGUISHED.

Prominent Hebrews of Baltimore
have joined the opposition to the
scheme for an extra session of the leg
islature to pass the educational quail
ification bill. While the proposed
law is directed solely to DISTINGUISHING
the negroes, it has been found that
thousands of Hebrews in Baltimore
will be affected by it. State Senator
Jacob Moses, who is a Democratic
politician, says that only about five
hundred Jews will be barred by the
proposed law, but DR.. Aaron Frieden-
valid, who is well known among the
Hebrews of Baltimore, and who is
trustee of the Baron de Rirsch Fund
in Baltimore, said: 81 think that
from five to six thousand Hebrew
voters live in the lower wards of the
city, and that large proportion of
them would be completely at sea in an
election booth, with no emblems to
guide them and no assistance extend
ed to them by the ballot clerks"

Old People Made Young.

J. G. Sherman, the veteran editor
of the Vermontville (Mich.) Echo, has
discovered the remarkable secret of
keeping old people young. For years
he has avoided Nervousness, Sleep
lessness, Indigestion, Heart trouble,
Constipation and Rheumatism, by
using Electric Bitters, and he writes:
ut can't be praised too highly. 1t
gently stimulates the kidneys, tones
the stomach, aids digestion, and gives
a splendid appetite. 1t has worked
wonders for my wife and me. It's
a marvellous remedy for old peoples

gists.

literate voter than at any previous
time. If conspiracy, conceived in
ignorance and corruption and direct
ed against Maryland's institutions,
threatens, the extra session advocates
have so far failed to produce any evil
dence thereof. They seem not even
to have thought of advancing such
preposterous assertion, and appear to
consider the circumstance that they
have the power to take whatever ac-
tion they please in the premises quite
sufficient for their purpose.
As a matter of fact, the influence of
the illiterate voter in Maryland af
fairs is distinctly less potential than
in previous years, and must steadily
wane with the advance of education.
AT each election the number of votes
cast by citizens unable to read and
write grows smaller, and before long
it will be reduced to insignificant pro-
portions without restrictive legisla-
ton. More than this, it is undenia-
bly, true and will be conceded by
every fairminded person that the will
of the people finds more adequate ex-
preston at the polls than at any pre-
yious time. If vote buying is prac-
ticed-and a general disposition pre-
walls to concede as much-the number
of votes for sale has been larger in
past campaigns than now, and is GER
tain to undergo constant diminution.
That the adoption of the modified
Australian ballot system has contrib
uted signally to the publication of
political contests and correspondence
narrowed the opportunities and bar
ter is too patent for argument.
Such being admittedly the case,
what excuse can be offered for sad
ding upon the state the expense of
an extra session? Have the Repre-
sentatives in the legislature from the
counties become so generous that they
are willing to saddle the taxpayers
Will etl OuOldS vi perhaps pCOtOOo,
chiefly in order that the city of Bal
timore may be able to build sewers
without further delay? One might
suppose from all the clamor which
has been raised that the illiterates
throughout Maryland, actuated by
common impulse, have banded them
selves together to overthrow the par
ty now in power, and that they must
be speedily disfranchised as means
of averting veritable calamity. No
Marylander with the slightest knowl-
edge of local conditions will advance
so ridiculous a plea, which could be
rightly construed as an insult to in
telligence.
Not single one of the pretexts put
forward in support of an extra session
deserves a moments consideration.
Closer examination serves to divest
them of all force, and nothing remains
except the underlying motive-the ex-
pectation that Acknowledgement will
deliyer the state over to a combina-
ton of constituencies ringsters-a con-
summation in which patriotic and
public spirited citizens may well hest
tate TO assist.

Are You Drifting?

Are you drifting along in life with
only vague, meager aims and no real
prospect of anything better than your
present environment, your present
opportunities and your present
achievements Do you expect to go
on as you are doing and to reap the
natural harvest of your listless, in
definite thinking and misapplied
labor? If SO, no wonder you are dull,
torpid, discouraged. No wonder you
think nothing pays and life isn't
worth the candle. Wake up bit 4.
Look out upon the glorious earth
with its infinite variety of interests,
its stupendous array of elemental,
mineral, vegetable, animal and human
peculiarities and individualities. Get
your eyes open and view all that falls
in the range of your vision, with a
child's wonderment and childs fac
ulty of seeing that which delights.
Avoid seeing those things which an
noy or Offend they tire you. Look
for that which amuses and pleases :;
it will rest you. In the infinite of ma
ture one has choice between the
thoughts that are tiresome and the
thoughts that are restful. There are
elements of beauty in the plainest
of pictures. There are re6eeming
traits in the most antipathetic of our
acquaintances. There is hope even
in desperate situations. 1t depends
upon the way we look at things.
Moods make or break us. Allure
your dyspeptic mood, your vinegar
mood, your porcupine mood, your
weary, weary mood, and live new
thought life. You will find the change
ever so restful and refreshing. For
get yourself, get outside of yourself
and be Interested in your surround
ings or in thoughts of impersonal
matters. Thus you will draw to you
more of the bounding life of the uni
verse and not be eating your soul out
by grieving over your wants and your
limitations.
Remember that this is a world of
infinite resources and unlimited pos
sibilities, and that your own happi-
ness, your own peace and content,
must depend upon the healthful
activity of your mind. There is moth
more wonderful than the joy and rest
which come to one as result of
thinking the right thought and of
catching the inspiration of a new
hope. No use in turning the old
thoughts over and over. That is not
thinking in the true sense of the
word. Rather keep your eyes open,
your mind active and discriminating
Snatch at the new ideas consider

To "Manacle and MuzZle Voters -


As the Maryland Democrats read
the census returns the painful con
clusion is borne in upon their minds
that the most rapid rate of growth in
population in their State is in sec
tions whose instincts and traditions
are Republican. In their dilemma,
with Baltimore Republican when
ever the currency issue is raised, with
western Republican counties develop
ing new industries daily and in close
touch with progressive West Virgin
ia, with eastern counties drifting
away from them, the Maryland Dem
ocrats not knowing how to account
for all these things in any other way
consistent with their own claim of
giving the best government, have hit
upon the plan of challenging the &C
curacy of the census of 1900 Their
leaders and newspapers are dwelling
upon the discrepancy of growth be-
tween such counties as Hartford which
almost stagnates, and Allegany and
other Republican counties that are
booming, and declare that the returns
must have been pruned in one case
and padded in the other to suit the
eXigencies of the Republicans.
There is not the slightest proof of
this, but the Democrats are doing a
great deal of figuring, and they are
putting forth vague stories about
enumerators in Hartford county losing
their books and making up their en-
umerations from memory. Such fig
uring is naturally more agreeable to
Democrats than figuring out election
returns that show that Mckinley had
plurality of nearly 1000 in the State
outside of Baltimore. How to dis
franchise without DISTINGUISHING too
much, how to lay upon the negroes
the responsibility for Maryland's Re-
publicanism when negroes are scarce
in Western Maryland and constitute
but small percentage of the popu-
lation of Baltimore, are some of the
problems that will confront an extra
session of the Maryland Legislature
assembled to agree on a method of
manacling and muzzling the voters.
The illiteracy test in a State of the
general cultivation of Maryland will
not cut deep, and if it cuts at all, not
in the strong Republican counties.
To complicate the ballot itself will
work as much hardship to the Demo-
Gratis as to the Republicans. To gerry
mander State in which party lines
are no longer sectional is always diff
cult and might in this instance be flu
tile, for the wealth, industry and ed
ucation of Maryland has cultivated
apprehension of anything that sug-
gests possible return of Gormanism
to power. If the Democrats under
take Acknowledgement they must go
at it in a way that will at once expose
to the country their fear of fair play,
and will rouse all the antagonism to
Gormanism which may yet remain
latent in Maryland.-Boston Tran
script.
