THINK ABOUT 1T.

Are you in favor of the negro having
the right to vote?
That is the sole question contained in
the proposed suffrage Amendment.
If you want the negro to have the
privilege of walking up to the polls
with you and exercising just as much
political power then vote against the
Amendment. and you will continue to
enjoy your depreciation.
If you are of the opinion that after
forty years of freedom and thirty-five
years of voting privilege. during which
time the State of Maryland that is the
white people of the State have spent
thousands of dollars upon his education,
the negro is qualified to exercise the
right of suffrage then vote against the
Amendment, and continue him in his
special privilege as your equal.
If you think. that after all that has
been done for him he is worthy and
eminently desirable social and polti-
cal element, then encourage him by
voting to continue his privileges.
If, on the other hand you d, not want
the negro to have the right to walk up
to the polls with you and kill your vote
with his rot for The .lmendmem.
If you think that he is ignorant of
the principles OF government, does not
understand what he is voting for, but
simply that he is to vote the Republican
ticket, that he pays no tax and should
not have the right to say how or by
whom your money shall be expended
then vote for the Amendment.
If you believe that the negro at pre-
sent constitutes a menace to society,
is indolent, insolent and altogether un-
desirable. and that the political privi-
leges now accorded him in this State
will have tendency to increase the
number and make them more impudent
and disagreeable then rot, forihe ime"d-
mcm and put a check upon it.
If you believe that this is and should
be white mans State, that the time
has come when the negro should be
forced to the rear and that his political
power should be curtailed then rate .fc'
he amendment.
In short. if you are opposed to the
negro voting. help to stop him by vot-
ing for the Amendment. Do more
than that, talk for it and get others to
vote for it, and help Maryland to put
the negro in his place and keep him
there and that place is not equal to
yours or alongside Of you at the ballot
box. CecH Democrm.

THE TRUE SITUATION.

The Republican State Convention
which met in Baltimore last week for
the purpose Of passing resolutions de-
nouncing the proposed suffrage amend
ment and giving an opportunity to the
Honorable Charley Bonaparte to get
out of the Independent band wagon.
and get right on top of the Black Re-
publican heap. did all that was expected
Of it, and the Honorable Soup House
did his part to perfection. He of the
sanctimonious whine was cheek by- jowl
with Sid Mudd and other machine poll
ticians, whom he has been pleased
more than once to donounce.
o temporai o mores!
A platform was adopted denouncing
the proposed amendment, and proclaim
ing great solicitude for fair elections
Think of it, Republicans who only a
Few years ago. when they controlled
the Legislature openly sold legislation
and brought disgrace upon the State.
now crying aloud for fair electionsl
The platform appeals TO the good citi-
zens to save the State from the dis
credit and disgrace which will befaIl
Maryland if the amendment is adopted.
Surely this was intended as joke.
Disgrace and discredit because the
white people will rulel What nerve to
think the white voters Of Maryland are
lot Of numskulls not to understand
that the only hope of success the Re
publican party has is in the franchise of
the negro, and this wall is merely pre-
tense to cover up their solicitude for the
black mans vote.
Every white man knows that the pur-
pose of the amendment is TO prevent
the negro from holding the balance Of
power in this State. and every white
man should feel it an honor to vote for
the amendment, regardless of his party
preferences.
The Republicans in convention real
lied that the amendment appeals TO
the best white citizenship and they de-
cIared themselves opposed to negroes
holding office, of social equality and
other things, designed TO close the eyes
Of the susceptible voter. but il is all
tommy-rot. and fools no one
The real question is: DO you want

THE MAIN ISSUE,

Desiring that nothing should over
shadow the fight against the Poe Amend
ment the vital issue in this campaign
he advised his friends to make no con
test in the Primaries.
This is the position of Somerset
County Republican leader. Every
Democrat, also, should entertain the
same feeling and desire for party unity.
Republicans are anxious to defeat the
Poe Amendment. White men SHOULD
be anxious for the Amendment to win.
Let every Democrat bow to this one
idea and we ,rW win.

STREETS ARE
INSIGHT !
Makiki Section Needs
Attention From
Dept.

People out Makiki way wonder why
the street department has not finished
regarding the streets since the laying
of the new water pipes last fall.
When the streets were macadamized
all through the Makiki section they
presented a fine appearance. Then
came the street department which dug
huge trenches, laid new water pipes.
and filled up the trenches again in a
haphaZard manner with a mound run
ming along the entire distance, top
ping the same with rocks. The trenches
remain in this condition today.
There is need for the department to
take gangs into every street having
these unsightly mounds, to level them
TO the grade of the street and finish the
whole off with macadam. Then the
streets will again appear beautiful.
The trenches have had time to settle,
if that is what the department has
been waiting for, and now is the time
to complete the job.

AN INTERESTING COINCIDENCE.

As showing that there are other
views besides that held by the Attor-
ney General, the following letter is in
point:
Editor Advertiser: Everybody is ask
ing why the Rapid Transit is so dis
jointed. Every body also probably
knows that the Rapid Transit has been
cited before the Police Court to show
why 1t should not pay fine for run
ming at higher speed than allowed in
the law of 1898. 1t depends on what
the law means, and the Rapid Transit
can t afford to take any chances. If
II means that car can make up time,
IN case of delay, so that its patrons
will not miss connections. even though
for few hundred feet the speed Is
exceeded, then fine will not have to
be pald. But no one can tell what
view the judges may take. so the cars
run slow, don't make up lost time,
and the public is Inconvenience.
Meantime the Rapid Transit Com
pany Will do all possible to secure a
prompt hearing and decision, so that
we may all know "where we are at. .
In California the laws regulating or
restricting speed have been repealed.
because the people by common con
sent wanted the best kind of rapid
transit, and the interests of the pub
lie and of the companies have got it
regulated between them. In other
places where there are laws still stand
ing, no one invokes them because peo-
pie want to be moved rapidly and thev
are content to let the companies take
their risks

JOHN c. WOOLLEY
AND his GREAT WORK

''Will Woolley's coming interfere
with the progress of the revival?''
This is the question vexing a few of
the good people of Honolulu. 1t is
hard to see why it should. Woolley
breaches righteousness, civic right
eousness. A revival which does not
begin there, end there, isn't of much
account Moreover Mr.. Woolley talks
to the churches The New Voice says:
''The character of Mr.. Woolley's ad-
dresses appealed to the people of New
Zealand with peculiar power. The
church is the core and heart of New
Zealand life. Mr.. Woolley talked there
as he always talks-to the church,
and unbounded enthusiasm was the re-
suit
1t is to the churches of New Zea-
land Mr.. Woolley proposes to go. He
is going to give them five months of
his pungent utterances. They know
what to expect, for they had him
once before; moreover they have been
petitioning, even cabling, for this visit
for a long time. Mr.. Woolley will be
in the Islands only three weeks, with
perhaps a week on Hawaii. His first
public appearance will be in Y. M.
c. A. lecture course Friday evening
with '"Topic of the Hour for a
subject. The athletes are interested
in this course as all profits go toward
a new track opposite the hotel. Here g
a bit of Mr.. Woolley's oratory fourteen
years old:
'.This is Christian country. It's
foundations were laid in the gospel.
The compact of the Mayiower was
signed for the advancement of the
Christian faith, and for the glory of
God Our fathers braved the seas,
the snow, the savages, seeking not
freedom merely, but freedom of wor
ship God. From that beginning to this
hour our history has been lyric-epic
romance of liberty through Jesus
Christ. But if you come to analyze
the fighting strength of the republic
against its deadliest enemy you will
be shocked to find, as you will find,
that the Christian man, as such, cam
not be counted on, for liberty or for
Christ.
81 In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the plvouac of life,
You will find the Christian soldier
Represented by his wife
Mr.. Woolley has strengthened with
the years,-mellOwed perhaps. The old
charge of intolerance can not fairly
be urged. He is still fearless and I'M
compromisingly opposes evil, though
he locks arms with all who fight the
common foe, however different their
methods.

LADRONES MAY MAKE
TROUBLE IN SAMAR

THE situation in Samar is very
fcer on the Sheridan last night, Il be-
lieve that there is likely to be trouble
within very few months. 1t is the
hotbed of discomfort in the islands.
There is an old, gray-bearded native
to whom the people look as their lead
er and future ruler. They are regular
fanatics and don't know what they are
fighting for. If We send out a COM
pany of the native scouts they are cut
to pieces but when the white troops
go out they are not to be seen. 1 spent
over two weeks on one march after
a band of marauders and didn't see
the sun all the time. 1t was up and
down through deep, dark ravines,
crossing the river every few minutes
till we were soaking wet. Then at
night it rained. But we didn't see any
FiliDinos.
lone trouble is the appointment Of
natives to civil offices. as presidentes
of villages Many of the men appoint
ed are rank insurrectionists and use
their positions to further the ends of
the malcontents. One presidente left
his village with his whole official force
to join robber band. The village had
to run itself. This appointment of
men who are unfit for civil positions
is a bad thing. The robbers descend
upon a village and kill and plumber
but they won't stay to fight. 1t isn't
revolution but guerrilla raids and out
laws plundering. There is some little
trouble in the southern provinces of
Luzon but there is nothing to speak
of in any other places except there
and in Samar"
