Chairman Murray Nandiver in his la

assumes its legality, and through the
medium of patent prepared plates. fur

by the Supreme Court of the United
States"
SO far as the Wing can recall. the
history of the appeals upon similar men-
sureS. taken from several Southern
States, to the Supreme Court, shows
that these appeals have either been de-
MED or set aside. upon cXtraneouS points,
such lbs want of jurisdiction, ETC.. and in
none of them WAS the direct question of
their c"nstitutionalty passed upon by
the Court.
The Baltimore Evening News of
Wednesday. referring to the action of
the Cecil Democratic convention, saws:
Several lawyers spoke today of what
one of them termed the 'mcndacity' of
the resolutions adopted by the Cecil
County Democratic Convention yesteT-
day. These resolutions referred to the
proposed DISTINGUISHING amendment as
one Whose r,nt itutirnality has in form
and substance been confirmed by the
Suprcn" tCmt of the United States.
These lawyers referred to the we'll
known fact that of the three, cases
taken to the Supreme Court-thoSe from
Mississippi, Alabama and Nirgina-all
have been thrown out of court on other
grounds, such as want of jurisdiction.
and the direct question of constitutions
ality has not been decided"
In view of this conflict of opinion. it
is certainly cup to" the Democratic
managers to establish or make good
their broad declaration-which it is no
doubt their purpose to repeat in every
county of the State-th.t the Poe
Amendment has in fact, run SUCCESS
fully the gauntlet of the Supreme Court
and that its constitutiomality does not
admit of argument or question.

Myaor Barclays appointments are
practically completed, and while there
may be differences of opinion as to the
advisabilitv of making changes in some
instances, there cannot be any valid
objection to the men selected for the
different offices. The greatest interest

Of the fire department, over which
there has been more Or less Of wran-
gle. The Times believes 1t would have
been only Just to ex.Chief Campbell
that he be made chief under the reor-
ganized department. He has been an
active and efficient chief for several
years, he has given much time and at

spent his own money in advancing it's
efficiency. He has worked long and
hard to seenre the improved apparatus
and quarters in which to house IL, and
it would have been only a just recogni
tion that he be made its first perma-
nent chief. III he could not nave ac-

have any fear for the efficiency Of the

used it occasionally since. 1t makes

 MT. Burnley places Americas John D. Rockefeller third in the list and gives first and second class respective ly to Alfred Belt and J. B. Robinson. l There Is but little doubt that the ar engagement made by MT. Burnley Is wrong. The visible assets of Mir. Rock efeller clearly entitle him to the pri macy among millionalres If the great est fortune outside of America is esti mated at only s5O0,0OO,OOO. But the purchasing power of money in Europe Is greater than it is in America, and % al iosa pfi tn a r A a big showing there than here. In England John D. Rockefeller would be rated in a class by himself.
