OYSTER QUESTION STILL OPEN.

solved the oyster puzzle with u
~ pocket veto Of the So-called
Hannah Bill. which the author
of the original measure absolutely dis
owned
The IiumHn bin had been so altered
and amended that its foes did not fear it..
and its friends expect little from its
operation. 1t WAS held to be a very
doubtful proposition whether the measure
was l'roitably practicablc. depending. as
largely for its execution.
The Governors failure to approve the
bill leaves the oyster question where it
has stood for II decade or more. with the
necessity for its rational treatment rend-
cred all the more pressing by ten years
depletion of the oyster beds and the de-
monStrated certainty that the extinction
of the oyster in Maryland is but ii mat
ter of few years at best.
1t may nc. that the nectoring attitude.
of the Hannah bills foremost champions
spoiled it's chances, but the merits of the
measure were quite apart from the temp
ers of its friends and its foes. What the
plain, everyday people of the non-oystcr
counties wish is, that the Legislature
may do something to save one of the
most valuable and promising resources
of the State and thus promote the inter
essts of the entire commonwealth.
The oyster question may rest in en-
forced allegiance for some months to come
but it can be made a very live issue in
the next State campaign.

tending to register as voters in
this State to give one years notice of

which dismissed the appeal of W. K.
Pope. who removed to Montgomery
County from Wa>hing %. u. G.. in 1908
and WAS refused registration in Srlhcni-
her of that year. Mr.. Pope. who is priv
ate secretary To Mr.. Justice White of the
Supreme Court. went to the State Courts
for relief, which being denied. he carried
the case to the Court of last resort.
The opinion delivered by Mr.. Justice
Pcckham, lays down two broad plfnci-
pies.

the nitcd States or by any of its amend
mcntS. Ii is not privilege springnc
from citizenship. II may not be refused
on account of race. c,lOr or previous con-
dition of rpIvitudr. but it does not follow
from mere citizenship of the United

Sccond-"The privilege to vote is with

be exercised as the State nrly direct glnd

provided of course, no discrimination is
made between individuals in violation of
the Constitution of the United States.
1t is the right of amy State to lcgiSlate

ditions already stated"
Mr.. Pope, the plaintiff. stated that he
would petition the Court for n rchcaring
of the case. In view of the unanimous
decision of the Court. and ITS it will be
difficult if not impossible. for Mr.. Pope
to establish that he has been denied amy

The opinion clears the ground in all
