The Baltimore San holds its
own as the leading daily of the
South. She should continue to
impress the merchants and
business men of that city that
bus mess men of the South de-
sire to deal with people who are
in sympathy with them politi-
cally and socially. If Baltimore
wants southern trade it must
become a true Southern city. 1t

JAcKSON-SrlITH CONTEST.

Hon. Thomas A. Smith and
his friends in the First Con-
gressional District are fully pre-
pared to meet Hon. William III !.
Jackson in his contest for Mr..
Smiths seat in Congress. The
supervisors of Election for the
several counties in the District
have complied with Governor
Warfeld's request for a state
ment as to the conduct of the
election, and the reply was to
the effect that they were fair. :
The Republican election Off
cial in nearly every voting pre-
clint in the First District signed
the returns without protest and
without any idea of making any
contest. The ballots used in
every instance, We're in con-
formity to the law. The peculiar
marks made on some of the bal
lots thrown out i'm some of the
Districts of Worcester County
were made by venal voters, just
as stickers were used in Wico-
mico by the Republicans to
identify purchased votes, ex-
cept that the Republicans did
their work more scientifically.
1t is alleged, by those i'm posi-
tion to know, that Mr.. Jackson
will awaken to the fact that his
followers were not all angels
and some evidence to that end
will be forthcoming.
A great many of the best Re-
publicans in the District think
Mr.. Jackson has made a great
mistake in making the contest
and have expressed their opin-
ion that their party cannot fail
to feel the bad effects of his ac-
ton at the election next Fall.
There are Democrats who say
they are in favor of retaliation,
and suggest, if Mr.. jackson is
unfairly seated, that the seats
of Republicans in the next
Legislature should be captured.
wherever there is the least spark
of evidence that will permit it.
There were some Republicans
from southern Maryland who
retained their seats in the House
of Delegates at the last session
by the skin of their teeth !" but
the Democratic majority de-
clined to take any unfair adj
vantage of them.
General l.. Victor Baughman
has this TO say of the Jackson
Smith contest:
tThe contest of Jackson
against Smith is an absurdity
on its face, and if all the facts
are wanted regarding the
corrupting influences INDUCED
in by the Republican party on
the Eeastern Shore the contest
will become an object-lesson
to the country, and will cause
many fair-minded men to real
ize that the time has come when
men can no longer be elevated
to positions of honor and trust
through the corrupt influence
of the purchasaole vote"

A Faminint Mnxamnnr.

The feminist movement progresses at
a rapid rate in Europe. Several Amer
lean women, who have spent some time
in Germany, declare that the advanced
German women are more advanced in
their ideas than English or even Amer
lean women. Even in ultra -conserva-
tive Spain events are moving at re-
markable rate. An account was given
in The Author of women at the meet
ing held at the University of Madrid
TO celebrate the tercentenary of Ger
yantes. Among the seventeen littera-
teurs who took part in the program
were two women writer's of note, EN-
lila Pardo Bazan, who read paper on
the value of the philosophy of Don
Quixote, and Carmen Burgos de Segui,
who pleaded for a new Don Quixote,
who would aid women TO attain better
education and industrial freedom.
There is a hourishing sentiment in
favor of the education of women
among the better class of Spanish men
and women, and several movements
for industrial education of women have
been set on foot. Among them is an
agricultural school similar to the one
founded by Lady Warwick in England.

Love and laughter? Have they not
been coupled since the world began?
The heart beats faster, the blood
courses merrlly through the veins, the
world shows falrer, the beloved one
shows fairest of all, and catching \
hint OF the infinite joyousness Of things
the ultimate happiness OF one day to
be perfected creation-the lover laughs.
The woman who can make her lover
laugh is clever, but the wife who can
keep her husband laughing Is one Of
the seven wonders of the world.
Depression, Ill health, worries quar-
rels,, all these cease to be when one
can laugh. Learn to charm the heavi-
ness from your husbands brow, the
moodiness from his mien, and you will
reign In his heart for all time. Does 1t
seem little thing to provoke laughter,
a thing hardly within the scope or the
dignity OF wife? That is where so
many women make great mistake.

The reason more girls don't rise

because they do not exert themselves

absolutely required so they will not
be dismissed. but make no effort TO
learn any more about the goods they
handle than is necessary TO sell them.

the bottom of the box rises to the top,

One of the most fascinating selections
to be had is in pale shade of blue

with clusters of delicate pink roses
accompanies 1t. Each wall is paneled
separately. The border is started
along the Dashboard to corner, across
the room right below ceiling, down the
next corner. and the other walls are
managed the same. Have the ceiling
clear-wbite, the woodwork white. and
the furniture should consist of simple
and small pieces Of mahogany. A de-
signer who is noted for his original
and sensible as well as artistic ideas
declares that metal and brass beds
are too snowy. gaudy and cold for the
boudoir and places his seal of ap-
mahogany. The dresses and dressing

adorning, he says.
Where the room is adaptable win
dow seat is inviting and offers many
possibilities. A rocker and two other
chairs complete and so satisfy the
plan.
