NO EXTRA SESSION.

Thanksgiving is well past but the
people of this State are grateful that
there will be no session of the Mary
land Legislature this winter. At least,
there will be no session unless the
Governor calls the Legislature to-
gether to repeal the bill passed at
the last session proposing a consti-
tutsonal amendment, and to pass a
new amendment bill which will meet
with the Governors approval. This
plan has been suggested but the extra
session experience of former Govern
or Smith will likely deter Governor
Warfield from a like fate.
1t is high time the people of Mary
land sent representatives to Annapo-
lis competent to enact such laws as
the public demands within the SEES
sion prescribed by the constitution.
The Republicans controlled the Legis-
lature of Maryland for single ad-
ministration in the past 30 years and
yet the public business was perform.
ed decently, orderly and effectually.
There was no conniving fer partisan
advantage, and no plea of incompe-
tency, such as has characterized
every session of the General Assem-
bly, since 1898.
The extra session of 1901 was con.
vened for the sole purpose of enact
ing partisan election law and it cost
the State 100000. The extra session
of 1902 was made necessary because
some one forgot to pass the usual bill
levying the State tax and it cost $1O,.
900. Now it is proposed to convene
the Legislature again to help the
Democratic party out of the hole in.

1T may have been his intention to

its provisions, to examine its clauses

Democratic party has been hit
ting at the negro because more ne
groes vote with the Republicans than
with Democrats. Partisans of the
Democratic faith saw in this condi-
ton good chance to stir up preiu-
dice against this race and the cry was
raised for more intelligent electorate
becausei it was said that 50 many ne
groes were iliiteraUe and they could
not therefore, participate in elections
intelligently. Whatever may be the
situation in the South, in Maryland
the effort to get rid of the negro when
the white man outnumbers him four
to one has att acted attention to the
subject because no one pretends that
negro domination can be thought of
with the whites so largely in the ma
jority, and thus public attention is
directed to the merits of the case.
Why exclude the ignorant negro and
not exclude the ignorant white man?
This question rises up and will not
down. Some men who are unable to
read and write know intuitiyelY good
men from bad men and when they go
to the polls they often put to shame
men of higher intellectual attain
ments. The scheme to fasten upon
Maryland a Constitutional Amend
ment designed to disfranchise one
set of men on account of their color
or nationality is more than unjust,
it is a cold-blOOded attempt to fasten
the grip of the Democratic machine
on the people of Maryland tighter
than ever, and by DENYING to men
their dearest rights. If there is to
be any change let's have one stand
ard of fitness and let that be good
character. No matter low poor or
ignorant or humble man may be, if
he behaves himself, is industrious
and is useful member of the COM
munity, he ought to have voice
in government. On the other hand
if man is vicious, lazy, and shiftless,
giving evidence by his manner of liv-
ing that he is bad man and a b ur-
den upon society he should be exclud-
ed from voting no matter if he be the
most intelligent man in the commu-
nifty. A sturdy, patriotic people like
the citizens of Maryland want no Con-
stitutienal Amendment that is not
the product of the best thought of
our best people. They spurn the mis-
cradle scheming of few selfish and
designing politicians who would bar

Sick
Blood

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,
fullest in strength, least in
