sanction may be given their enter
prise. The land which will be drained
Is located between Waverly and Green

taxes are duly paid on the lands. be-
sides the fact that the territory is to
be drained. The law provides no Op-
ton as to whether the property own

There has been considerable discus
sion over a bill introduced by Senator
Willard appropriating certain sums for
repairs to anu for e. buildings at old
Fort Omaha. to be occupied by stan
officers OF the department OF the Mis-
souri,. Senator Willard. who had felt
certain opposition in war department
circles, has doubted whether 1t would
be polite to push the bill in the face
Of this opposition.
Senator Willard and Mr.. Rosewater
had a conference with Lieutenant Gem
eral Chaffee, who vas a lieutenant at
Fort Omaha many years ago. and re-
calling the location of the abandoned
post, said that he would favor one or
two propositions: First, to have es-
tablished there a training school for
army nurses and army doctors. or a
school for the signal corps, either n
of which would give Fort Omaha q
standing in military circles and at the
same time bring to the post a much
larger number Of people than contem-
plated in making it a home for stan
officers. which he did not look upon
with favor.

Edwin Warfeld was inaugurated as
governor OF Maryland. In his inaug-
ural address Governor Warfield said.
On the subject OF limiting the suffrage
OF intelligent citizens:
The people demand that the state
shall be governed by those citizens
who. because OF their intelligence. their
hereditary connections and their In
terest in the material welfare Of the
commonwealth. are best fitted to prop
erly. periodically and wisely exercise
the high duties of citizenship.
This result can only be attained
by an amendment to the constitution
fixing n higher standard OF qualifca-

franchise.
II believe that an amendment to the
constitution upon the lines which |
have suggested, expressed in clear.
definite simple terms. should be sub
mltted to the people OF Maryland"

alleged that only one man. the person
who had tire birds in mis- buggy. could

separately as many times as there are

says the laws does not recognize q dis
