Democratic messenger. [volume] (Snow Hill, Md.) 1869-1973, 1905-04-08
SNOW HILL, Md. APR. s.
FOR THE AMENDMENT.

1t will be seen in another
column of this paper that the
Democratic editors of the state
have unanimously endorsed the
work of the last Legislature in
the passage of a law author
izing the people to vote upon
an amendment to the Constitu-
ton, which, of course. will re-
strict the franchise to a class
of voters who will exercise it
with far more intelligence than
the ignorant body of negroes
who now march to the polls in
droves and vote under the lash
of their political masters. They
do not know for what or for
whom they are voting, and the
franchise should be taken
away from such. The intelli-
gent high-minded negro should
have the right to vote, but the
kind who go to disreputable,
designing leaders and take
their orders, are not fit to be
voters, and if this amendment
is carried they will not be able
to get registered or be allowed to
vote. The passage of this
amendment by the people will
announce to the country that
Maryland is a white mans
state, and to the South, especial
ly, that we are bone of their
bone. We must clasp hands
with the old North state and
show it that we are possessed
with the same determination
that the inhabitants of North
Carolina possessed when they
called upon the negroes TO
halt.
From time to time we shall
discuss in these columns the
provisions of the proposed
amendment to our state Consti-
tuition and make it plain that
no white man will be deprived
of his vote for any reason ex-
cept a criminal one. 1t behooves
every white man who favors
the supremacy of his race to
enter upon this campaign with
a grim determination to place
this state on the same plane so
far as the negro is concerned,
as our friends in Virginia
have done.
Is there any political purist
in Maryland who believes we
are any better, more honest,
more just. than are the white
people of Virginia? When such
condemn us they also condemn
the Virginian and the North
Carolinian. Maryland has be-
come the dumping ground of
the worthless negroes of both
these states, and it is nothing
more than right that we should
pass them on to Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts where they
may be received with the con-
sideration and distinction due
them from those who believe in
their virtues.

EXPENSE OF JUNKET
FALLS ON PHILIPPINES
Much Comment in Washington
Over Refusal of Prominent
Men to Accompany Taft to the
Islands.

Washington, July 10 The failure
ofnumerous prominent men to go on
Secretary Tait's trip to the Philip
pines has been the subject Of much
speculation. IL 10 now known that
several notable names were put on
the list two or three months ago, al
though these men stated from the
beginning that they would not be
identified with journey oishat char
acter. The. were appealed to not 80

OF their !r'cnia In the War Depart
ment they acquiescsd In this request
ans did no. decline till many weeks
after the plons for the trip we're laid.
Some very strong protests were
made by influential Republicans
against the trip These Republicans
took the ground that 1t was u junket
pure and simple, and all the more Of
iensivs, because it was a junket at the
expense Of the Philippine Govern
ment. 1t WAS urged that II certain
legislators wished to observe condi.
tions in the Philippine Islands they
be taken on a Government transport
and the expense therefor be met by
the United States Government.
In several Of the departments a
practice has grown up OF sending men
to the Philippines on trips that are
virtually for pleasure, although
nominally for purposes oiinspection
This savors of the old Colonial abuses
which were the cause OF irritation 9
century and more ago.
Az soon as any department chile
now determines that he would like tC
have q few months vacation, h,
works pull to have the Phillppin,
Government invite him to make al
inspection In his particular line. Th'
officials at Manila are responsive, o

Of the United States have no

merits Of Peruna.
Nearly one-half the people are in some
way affected by catarrh. Therefore IL
- almost national curse, and II Is OF

Catarrh is an American disease.
Peruna is an American remedy.
Catarrh Is result OF changeable
climate. Peruna is result of long and
careful experimentation.
Catsrrb enters the system through the
nerve centers aud affects the mucous
membranes. Peruna enables the nerve
csnters to repel and expel the casarrh
from the system.
Cstarrh is systemic disease and
eurable only by systemic treatment.
The remedy that cures catarrh must
sim directly at the depressed nerve
centers. This is what Peruna does.
