A WORD TO The WISE.

In 1896 more than 100000 votes were
cast and counted in the State of Mary
land; in 1897 more than 241 900 citizens
voted; in 1899 more than PSI, 900 legal
votes were cast; in 1900 more than 2G4,
900 voters exercised this right, but
last year (1901) with the new Demo
cratic election law in force, introduc-
ing the Chinese ballot, less than
100000 votes are recorded as having
been cast, more than 10000 less than
at the 1900 election.
Think of it, 10000 voters disfran-
chised in this little State of Maryland,
nearly one-third Of the whole number
of votes cast in 1900. And that, too, in
year when the ticket was not near
ly so complicated as it will be in the
election of 1908. Are you, las reasonable
men, going to allow such methods to
go on indefinitely uncorrected? The
Democrats knew these facts at the
last session of the Legislature, yet
they fatty refused to repeal a law
that disfrancnised nearly one-third
of the voters of the State. The ques-
ton that is being asked is what can
we do? What we can do is a plenty.
Will we do it? Let our answer be, yes,
and let it re-echo throughout the
length and breadth of the State. We
will prepare ourselves to vote that
ticket and vote it we will. Reclaim
the 10000 disfrancnised voters, carry
the State for the Republicans and
pass a fair election law.
1t will be a fight in which the Re-
publicans should be the aggressors
and there is no time to begin like the
present.

THE GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

A bill is before the House Commit
tee Oh Agriculture for the construc-
ton of good roads throughout the
United States. There is to be a new
bureau, known as the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads. 1t is to be provided with a
staff of engineers, whose aggregate
salaries will be $4,000 per annum.
These engineers or their chief are to
decide whether a road requires i'm
proving. Half the expense of con-
struction is to be betrayed by the ma
tional government, and an initial
fund of $20,000,000 is to be appropri-
ated for that purpose.
1t can be said of this bill that it is
meritorious in sense. If the irriga-
ton scheme is meritorious, by which
untold millions of acres of deserts are
to be watered at cost which would
bankrupt the Treasury, and perhaps
the people, for the use of imaginary
settlers, then this plan for the i'm
prOvement of the public roads is most
highly meritorious. 1t is far more
sensible to provide for the necessities
of people in being than to provide
luXuries for those who may come
hereafter and claim them. Irrigated
lands and game preserves are excel
lent things where there are people
with the means at their disposal to
enjoy them, but the only rush that is
likely to be made should the govern
ment complete its colossal undertake
ing would be the land spectators,
whose activities are being constantly
revealed.
The good roads are undoubtedly
needed, and there are many, in all
probability, who would like to see
the government undertake the job
in fact, they would like the govern
ment to undertake any job which in
volved the expenditure of money.
Making roads, however, is not pri-
marily the work of the national gov
eminent. The government far back
in its early history did build a road,
but highways are so directly matter
of local concern that they ought to
be built by the communities through
which the pass. Where this is prac-
tically impossible the State has come
to the aid of the counties. The ma
tiOnal government can contribute in
many ways to the development of
good roads, but it is doubtful if it
would be eXpedient to relieve the peo-
pie of their clear obligations.

CENSOR AND REGULATOR.

There are few things in this vale of
tears quite so absurd as the newspa-
per that sets itself up as the censor
and regulator of the community AL
most invariable it is paper that is
not sure of its present standing or
very hopeful of its future, and for that
reason tries to convince the public
that it is the only medium of correct
news and the only fount of wholesome
counsel.
1t is always more or less of ''roast-
err" Whatever is wrong, unless the
paper did it, and there is no way to
right it expect by taking the advice
of the self constituted public mentor.
All other newspaper are represented
as being hampered or controlled by
sinister influences. There is none
honest save the mentor. As for divi-
dends, it scorns them. A clear con-
science is its sufficient recompense.
But somehow the public never seems
to fall in with such suggestion. There
are everywhere people who can be
fooled part of the time, as Abe Lin
coin said, but majority of the peo-
pie are rarely deceived for long.
When the journalistic mentor doth
protest so much, they begin to think
they can detect a false note some
where in the strain. The newspaper
graveyards of the country are full of
such, and most of them have not
even headboard to remind a for
getful world that they once existed.
The moral of it all is that when a
newspaper claims for itself the exclus-
i've virtue of honesty and devotion to
the public interests it is trying to
make up in wind what it is conscious
of lacking in substance.

are somewhat dismayed. Free Rasin,
who controls the machine, refuses to
show his hand in regard to whom he

his attention was called to Henry

THE election of 1908 is nearly a year
off but its Importance is such to the
people of Maryland that it is not too
soon to consider candidates for the
several offices. The election next year
in this State will be for Governor,
comptroller, attorney general, mem
bers of the House of Delegates and
county officers. The victory next fall
belongs to the Republican party but
two elements of success are necessary
perfect unity and capable candi-
dates. The party managers in this
county should see to it that these
prerequisites are assured before the
campaign actually begins.

ON HONEYMOON WITH MOTHER-N-LAW
EIOping of Mr.. Ham ill and Miss Cushing
Young Couple Go South With Brides
Mother.


Last Thursdays Baltimore amer
lean contained the announcement of
the wedding of one of Oakland's well
known young men to a Baltimore
lady, the marriage having been per-
formed two weeks prior to the an
nouncement, which was a great sur
brise to the family and friends of the
groom, he beinga son of Mr.. and Mrs.
g. S. Hamill. The americans ac-
count of the wedding follows:

some respects, but that he is a won

Il way" when his own interests are at
stake has Just had another illustration
in the elopement of a pretty young
girl, not yet introduced into society,
and one of the most promising law
students of the University of Mary
land. The bride was formerly Miss
Emily Gushing, daughter of Mrs w.
E. Gushing. The groom is Mr.. SEM
hhCS oIhIOl IoIuliI, SUI VI q well
known lawyer of Oakland, Md, The
marriage took place in Wilmington,
Del, just fortnight ago yesterday.
''The love affair of the young cou-
pie began two years ago at Oakland,
where Mrs. Gushing and her daughter
have been spending their summers.
The only objection on either side was
the youth of both of the lovers, and
no formal engagement was to have
been allowed until after the gradua-
ton of Mr.. Hamill, next spring.
"a short time ago Mrs. Cushing de-
cided TO go South for the winter and
to take her daughter with her
The two young lovers were imcon-
solable at the idea of even il few
months of complete separation, and
after much discussion of the subject
the hasty trip to Wilmington, Bylti
more's established Gretna Green. was
decided upon, and the wedding took
place on the afternoon of November
18th, when the bride was supposed to
be out shopping and the groom at his
studies. Both returned home imme-
diately and kept the marriage "a pro
found secret until the preparations
for the journey South were completed
and the date of departure drew near
Then the bride broke down and con-
fessed. OF course, she was duly for
given, but the Southern trip was not
to be abandoned. The mother did
not wish to go alone, and thessudden-
ness of the new complication required
prompt readjustment of affairs all
around. The problem was solved by
Mrs. Gushing deciding to leave at the
arranged time and to take both of
the young people with her.

of grinding over dull law lectures,

student is enjoying the unique exper-
fence of being on an unanticpated

IN HIS self-inspired interview which
Gen. Baughman gave out in New
York last week booming Mr.. German
for President, he said: 1.-THE gentle
man whose name have mentioned
in connection with the high Office will
never descend to the tricks of dema-
gogue." Such rot is well enough to
tell New Workers, but we down here
in Maryland must be pardoned if we
refuse to believe that Mr.. German
would never descend to the tricks of
a demagogue.n The Chinese puzzle
election law and the use of trick bal.
lots, of which Mr.. German was the
sole beneficiary, is too fresh in the
minds of our people to believe such
nonsense.

of West Market street An alarm was

the scene the Liberty and Cumberland
Hose companies. The fire started in

Mrs. Mullen noticed smoke coming
from the parlor. She at once ran to
the Cumberland fire house where she
gave the alarm. The firemen extin-
gushed the blaze before much dam
age was done.
