The peautlful Ballot Law.
Baltimore Nesos

There were two reasons why honest citizens
welcomed the Jackson-Smith election contest in
the First Congressional district. The first was
that it gave the Republicans an opportunity to
expose the disgracefulness of our present cleo
ton law. The other was that it afforded an op-
portunity to the Democrats to disclose the truth
about the oft-repeated charges of bribery in
that district The Republicans, we are glad to
say, are making use of their opportunity. How
sadly farcial is the law under which we freemen
express our wishes at the polls is being shown
by the recount. Bollot-box after ballot-box is
being opened, and each tells a tale of deception
and confusion. Yesterday in one precinct of
Talbot county the counsel found that 40 votes
counted for Smith and 35 for Jackson legally
should not have been counted at all. Twenty
nine spoiled ballots, it is claimed, should have
been counted, and more were not claimed by
either side. In other words, out of a total vote
of less than 400, III are in dispute. In another
precinct, out of total vote of about 800. 1O2 are
in dispute. Here is an election law so crazy
that a third of the voters could not mark their
ballots right in the first place, and the judges,
who have been especially instructed in the law,
could not count them right in the second. The
thing hurts both parties. about equally, it APP
pears. No man, learned or unlearned, knows
whether or not his vote is counted. 1t is not
only the illiterate voter who makes mistake in
the form or location of his cross-mark, or in the
folding of the ballot, or in accidently placing
some other mark on the ballot, or in failing to
observe that the printer has already left some
such mark there, or in any other of the ways in
which a ballot may be invalidated. And this
beautiful record of trickery and pettiness being
compiled is to be taken to the halls of Congress
and there spread on the records as an exhibit of
Maryland's respect for the sanctity of the ballot
box and her idea of popular government. What
pleasing prospect to patriotic Marylanders!

A FIELD FOR PHILANTHROPY.

Messrs. Editors I'm the December number of
Good Housekeeping there is an article from the
pen of Thomas Nelson Page, entitled "A Neg
lected Glass; in which he pleads for greater OPP
portunities for the farmers wives and daughters
of the Sunny South. He writes of their narrow,
monotonous lives, circled by their household
duties Cooking washing, ironing and washing
dishes three times day constitute their daily
life, with nothing to brighten the intolerable
dullness of their existence, except in their girl
hood-courtship and marriage-which, he says,
usually occurs at an early age" after which
they settle down to gray. joyless life. with no
diversion beyond trip to church on Sunday to
hear some .circuit rider preach the Gospel"
Mr.. Page thinks education the remedy to bright
en- the lives of this class. / am doubtful If it
will make them any more contented with their
lot. Education will broaden woman's horizon
mentally. But will she be content with the
narrow round of duties Mr.. Page describes so
forcefully, if you arouse her dormant intellect?
Is a woman happier with a craving for intellec-
tual companionship and desire to read the lat
est books and magazines, which she cannot graft
fly? We all know that farming is God-given pro-
fession, said to be free as air. But alasl farmers
of the middle class are seldom bountifully sup
piled with the almighty dollars. Now the COM
0OPCAA>>o
on the raw material produced by the farmer, yet
none of our uncrowned commercial kings ESQ far
as know have done anything for the farmers
as class. They only try to get their products
for as little cold cash as possible. Now, If Mr..
Page has suggested the right remedy, why not
let some of our rich men immortalize their
names by building public halls in remote farm
ing sections. with a free library and reading
room attached2 Also have popular lectures de-
livered occasionally, with the tickets at mod
crate rate. People who live in the country can
enjoy an intellectual feast as well as the good
city people.
Our philanthropsts always select some city
for their benefactions. Ipresume they select
city because they think money will do more
good among the poor in a crowded city than ina
remote crountry section sparsely settled. Still
they might remember the parable of the "lost
sheep" and compare the farmers and their fam
lilies in the far-away country places to the 'lost
sheep" from an intellectual point of view and
consider them worth redeeming from the bliss
of ignorance. But will the folly of wisdom from
an educational standpoint, without the eviron-
ments that go with an education, make woman
happy? This is a question cannot decide.
