THE LOTTERY LAW.
Judge Keedy Calls Attention To
Violations By Rallies, Etc.

HAGERsTowN, Feb. I3.-Judge Martin L..
Keedy, in charging the grand jury for Wash
ington county, with David NJ. Hurley as fore
man, called special attention to raffies and
awards of prizes by chance at fairs, by organi-
cations and individuals. He said:
Judging from the newspapers and from
what has been a matter of general knowledge
and observation for some time, there seems to
have been an unusual number Of articles of
various kinds disposed of by chance.
1.-The scheme employed, which, in princi-
pie, is the same in all cases, constitutes a
species of lottery and is in violation OF the
law.
.'Section $50. Article q, of the Code of
Public Laws of this State says: The courts
shall construe the foregoing provisions relating
to lotteries literally and shall judge all tick
cts. parts of tickets, certificates or any other
device whatever by which money or any other
thing is to be paid or delivered on the hap
pening of any event or contingency, IN the
nature of lottery, to be lottery tickets.
I'm the case of Ballock VS.. the State [ 10
Maryland, page 81, the Court of Appeals OF
this State saws: Our statute allows the sale
of nothing which, on the happening of a con-
tingency, lin the nature Of lottery, brings
pecuniary benefit which would not be enjoyed
but for the chance falling to the holder
Courts are required by Section lS4 to construe
the provisions literally in order to reach and
suppress the evil, and they are required TO
hold anything to be lottery ticket which
on the happening of such event or contingen-
CIV in the nature OF lottery entities the holder
to money or property
Further in the opinion of the Court 1t
saws: Webster defines lottery tobe a
distribution of prizes by lot or chance, aud
Worcester says ''it is a distribution of prizes
and blanks by chance, game in which small
sums are ven,ured for the chance of obtaining
a larger value.
The Court of Appeals of this State has
discussed the subject in a number of cases
and no purpose can be subserved by refer
ence TO them at this time.
ANY information you may ueed upon the
subject will be furnished You by the State ;
Attorney. or you may apply to The Court tor
such information as may become necessary
for your proper guidance in the performance
of your duties.

ror the pemocra.le Advooale.


MrsSRs. EblrORs:-I desire to call attention
of the citizens of Carroll county 10 the fact
that the demand for State aid for public roads
has been partially met by the General Assem-
bly Of Maryland at its session of 1904, 10y Chap
ter 225 Of the laws passed at said session, b.
appropriating 500, 600. The allowance for
Carroll county IS nearly $40, 600, such amount
Is available provided ike amount is appro.
priated In the county. II Is held that the road
law in Carroll county requires the district road
commissioners 20 FIX all assessments Tor ro&d
purposes. then if that be the law the several
election districts, individually or jointly. may
make the necessary appropriations IN order TO
obtain State aid IN the construction Of perTna.
ment highways. and the request for State and
will have to he made By the district road com-
missioners not later than March !, 1906. other
wise the county will be deprived Of nearly
$4,000. | would Suggest that if any one dis.
,rict should not feel able financially to under-
take the construction Of al least one mile IT
road. two or districts could cooperate tn the
construction Of any road lying on the line be
tween two districts or road passing from one
district into another; this suggestion would
apply 10 the West muster aud Manchester
road. the Westminster and TaneYtown Rad,
the New Windsor road. the Washington read.
and would apply with particular force to the
GOrsach road, which lies partly IN NestmlH-
sier. wooleTy's aud Hampstead district, near
Tannery station on the W. NJ. Railroad.
believe the best opportunity 10 construct
substantial maeadam or ,eilford read, at less
cosi that at any other place in the eoanty, is
on the road leading from CarrolItoa station
on the W. NJ X. X. toward Wesley Chapel,
on the line between the Alb and Sth districts,
because a Sufficient quantity of stone can be
obtained and delivered on the road at cost
not exceeding % eeats per perch. Similar
suggestions might be applied with equal force
TO other parts OF the coanty and especially 70
localities where lime stone Is abundant In
conclusion, would suggest that the district
road commissioners communicate wiih Que
another immediately, aud FIX date ior them
selves and others interested TO meet 81 some
convenient place aud take immediate action,
that this county may not be deprived Of that
to which il Is entitled.

The President Rebuked.

The United States Senate has clipped the
wings of President Roosevelt and given him
to understand that the Senate has some rights
under the Constitution that even the Admin
istration must respect.
The President and Secretary of State have
been making treaties under the heading OF
agreements. These have been sent to the
Senate, and the President regarded it an out
rage for that body to dot an or cross t.
Learning that the Senate intended to amend
the treaties the President wrote to the Senate,
through letter to Senator Cullom, of Illinois,
of the Foreign Affairs Committee, insisting
that the treaties be ratified as submitted In
stead of needing the Presidents insistence,
the Senate deliberately, by an almost unani-
nous vote, changed the word agreement to
treaty. The President was so outraged that
he declared he would not submit the treaties to
the signatory powers again, and Secretary
Hay seems to feel that an indignity had been
heaped upon the State Department.
The question of division of power between
the Administration and the Senate, is not
new one. 1t is as old as the Constitution, and
has been discussed in the Senate number of
times The Administration can negotiate trea-
ties but they do not become operative so far
as this government is concerned until ratified
BY the Senate, aud that body has a right TO
alter, amend or reject any treaty.
President Roosevelt has always had a high
esteem of himself, and his unprecedented ma
iority at the late election has increased that
exalted opinion. When a member of the
New York Legislature he thought he was the
leader. When Police Commissioner he
imagined himself the whole police depart
ment. When Governor of New York he I'M
dertook TO be the whole government. When
the battle of Santiago was fought, he imagined
he was the whole United States army. For
the past three years he has conceived himself
to be the Executive, Legislative and Judicial
Departments Of Government. No President
has assumed as much as he. he has been
driving Congress with strong hand. He
has made one step too far, and even his clos
est friends in the Senate have concluded il
time to call halt, and it has been done.
The ADyocATE predicted that President
Roosevelt would mistake his phenomenal ma.
jority for unusual popularity and an endorse
ment of everything he had done in the past or
might do in the future. These unprecedented
maiorities lead some men TO believe that they
are the repository Of all political wisdom Of
their parties. Two notable examples come
to mind They were mistaken and left Office
without a party behind them. President
Roosevelt will lay down the Presidency with
few regrets from Republicans.
