TO ELIMINATE THE NEGRO.

The exact form ofthe Constitutional
Amendment, with which it is pro-
posed to eliminate the negro as a
political factor in Maryland, is not
yet in shape to be introduced to the
Maryland Legislature. Aconference
was held in Washington on Satur-
day, which was attended by a num-
Der of prominent democrats, includ-
ing State Senator Thomas H. Robin
son of this county. After some dis
cussion of the question, one import

and the educational qualification.
This is somewhat on the line of the
amendment recently offered hv At
tornev-(1encral William Shepard
Bryan. Instead, however, of pro-
viding that no person shall be en-
titled to vote, who is 4 descendent
of a person who voted prior to SGT,
unless he can read or write upon
dictation, portion of the Constl-
tuition ofthe United States, which was
one OF the provisions in the Bryan
amendment, the conference decided
to fix the date at 1865. AS the
Fifteenth Amendment, comforting the
right OF suffrage on the negro was not
adopted until 1870, the year 1865
will answer the purposes as we'll as
1867, which was the year i'll which
the Maryland Constitution was
adopted.
Considerable comment was made
on that section which required the
voter to read and construe aportlon
of the Constitution and it was re-
garded as being entirely too drastic
and altogether unnecessary. TWAS
practically determined that the form
or provisions requiring the applicant
for registration to either read or
write section was sufficient for all
purposes. In reference to the prop
erty qualification there was much
difference of opinion. Governor
elect Wariield who was a member OF
the conference, commended that there
should be no taxation without
representation, and favored incor-
porating the property qualification
clause along with the educational
and grandfather" clauses as urged
by Mr.. Bryan. 1t was opposed by
some other persons and this matter
was left open. 1t is more than prob
able that the exact Constitutional
Amendment will be agreed upon by
the leaders, and the proper one will
be introduced early in the session of
the legislature which convened on
Wednesday.
There was also some discussion at
the conference in regard to the chang
es Of the present election law. Some
of the members present were in favor
of making the ballot still more tech
nical by leaving off the party designa-
ton so that the voters would have
merely the names as guide lncase
this was adopted it was suggested
that the names of the candidates in
party groups should be posted inside
the voting booth, but the words
democratic, republican and prohibi-
bitionist, would appear nowhere on
the ticket. This suggestion did not
meet with favor and will probably
have with widespread opposition.
During the campaign last fall, both
Messrs. War6eld and Bryan, in their
speeches, committed themselves as
favoring several amendments to
the present election law whereby the
intention Of the voter should count,
and the recent construction of the
present election by the Court
of Appeals would be changed so as
to remove slight technicalities.
Another change urged is where an
error is made in part of the ticket the
rest should be counted. Governor
elect Warfeld is very much in favor
of this amendment, and will urge it
| before the legislature.

THE ROAD QUESTION.

The meeting of the Deer Greek
Farmers Club, which was held on
Saturday afternoon at the residence
of Mr.. James Lee, was an important
one from the standpoint of the sub
iect discussed by the members. There
is no question but what the time is
now ripe for action if we expect
to get good roads. For years
past, the agitation has been kept up
in an earnest manner by a few advo-
Gates, who have foreseen the conse-
gent advantages of improved high
ways, and now the general public
seems aroused to the Importance of

SARCASTIC RESOLUTIONS.

Miss Katie Daffan, at Ennis, presi-
dent ofthe Texas Division, Daughters
of the Confederacy, has forwarded by
mail to President Roosevelt the fol-
lowing communication transmitting
the resolutions adopted at the recent
Houston meeting touching therecog-
milton of Panama:
pursuance ola resolution unani-
mously adopted by the State con-
vention of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, held in Houston,
Texas, l, as president of the Texas
division, have the honor to trans
nit to you the enclosed resolution
expressive of the sentiment of that
body concerning your recent action
in recognizing as a nation the new
Republic of Panama, formed after the
secession of the State of Panama
from the United States of Columbia
Those composing the membership
of our organization have always
rested under the profound and con-
scientious conviction that any SOW
erign State had the right to with
draw from any compact of union
where such union had ceased to sub
serve the purposes Of its formation,
and they cherish with pride the deeds
of those who so bravely battled
against invasion which followed on
the assertion of that right ofthe peo-
pie of the South. And tits peculiarly
gratifying to them to see you, in the
exercise of the prerogatives of your
high office, with the approval ofyour
able Secretary of State, give to the
right of secession your Endorsement.
"Those whom represent recognize
that the question of secessioni is prac-
tically settled forever adversely to
our contention, but it is gratifying to
us to know that even as an abstract
question it has received Endorsement
from such an exalted source. Webeg
to tender you our assurance of es-
teen and to express the desire that

THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS FOR MA
CADAMLZLNG OUR ROADS.

The contraction of debt Of any
kind is serious matter. Even if we
expect to obtain large definite re,
turns the most ofus hesitate about in
curing the obligation. Much argu-
ment can be advanced on both sides
of the question, and strong reasons
can be presented in favor of this step
on the grounds of it being in the line
of progressiveness. This is prelimi,
nary to the question of bonding the
county for the purpose of improving
the public roads. The question has
been argued pro and con many times,
with the final result of allowing the
subject to lapse until its agitation is
again brought up by some new de-
velopment of facts. There can be no
question but what if there ever was
a justification for the county going
into debt it is to improve our high
ways. Hartford is in some portions
very mich behind other sections of
the State that show lilleprogressive-
ness in many directions. Theconser-
vativeness of our people has kept the
road question on the same lines that it
has been conducted by our forefathers
and there is no question of doubt
but what in the past one hundred
years enough money has been thrown
away to macadamize every public
and private road in the county. The
trouble about doing this work is of
course, the first cost, and there seems
to be no way to raise this money en-
cept by bonding the county.
Should a decision of this kind be
reached, the necessary bonds, to be
given as an evidence of the indebted
ness, should be issued in Il manner
surrounded by every possible safe
guard. A sinking fund should be pro-
vided with which a certain proper
ton would be redeemed each year,
and the treasurer ofthe county should
be required to set aside the money for
this and no other purpose. When it
comes to the time of expenditure
great caution should be shown. The
people will expect one hundred cents
worth Improvement for each dollar
expended, and while we are not now
in position to suggest the best plan
to conduct this work, yet we believe
if the people throughout the county
would get their heads together they
could agree upon practical method
that would give full return for the
outlay.
If we are to borrow money, the pro-
ject should be entered into carefully,
and with due consideration, having
in ultimate view the repayment of
the same at some certain period.
The IEgis has always stood for pro-
gressiveness and would like to see
every principal highway in the coun-
ty macadamized. We are only urg-
ing a little caution about this matter
so that the results from this expert
ment may meet with our expecta-
tions.

OF the road question. 1t has been
clearly shown that one of the great
est causes of decadencc of our rural
communities wasthe inefficient means
of transportation that the farmers
had to get their products to the
market. The conseqent wear and
tear, both on horse and man, great
" increased the cost of production,
until the two have so nearly met as
to leave no margin of profit. The
present manner of conducting bust
ness is the result of marked changes
that have occurred during the past
ten years, and if the farmers wish o
keep up with the advancement in the
other lines of life, they will be COM
PEELED to adopt modern methods. AS
the typewriter and telephone of to-
dav are both business necessities for
those engaged in the trades, so it is
for the farmers and others interested
in rural pursuits to have good roads.
Commercialism has extended into
every branch of life, and the time is
now past when the product of the
farm is snapped off for necessities.
In the affairs of life today each and
every man is a merchant, producing
his wares at the lowest possible price
and selling them at the market value.
Each item that goes to make up the
cost of getting them to the consumer
has its influence, and never was the
tendency stronger to save the lucky
penny than today.
The road question is making rapid
advancement and we may expect leg
islation at the present session which
convened at Annapolis on Wednes-
day. Present interests also seem to
recognize that for immediate pur-
poses the Shoemaker bill is the best.
This, ofcourse, should be supplement-
ed by the Hannah Oyster bill, that
will in course of time produce a
revenue which at present is hard to
estimate, but will undoubtedly be
large.
A number of the members Of the
Deer Creek Farmers Club called at =,
tention to the Brownlow bill which
is now in Congress for consideration.
This bill provides for national aid to
the extent ofone-half. With thee COM
bination of State aid, the individual
taxpayers need not contribute any
great amount of money in order to
get better highways. Our farmers
are showing commendable progress
lveness and are receiving encourage
ment from all sources. All they have
to do is to keep earnestly before the
public what their needs require and
sooner or later they will be rewarded
by material assistance.
