A Manly Course.

The Democratic factions Of Kent eoanly,
after long and exciting contest for supreme
cy, have come together aud are working for q
common ticket against common enemy.
They have set an example OF honesty aud de-
votion TO principle that should challenge the
admiration of the Democracy Of the whole
State. Hope III. Barrol. the leader Of the
losing side ia the primaries, publishes the fol-
lowing carl in the Chestertown Transcript Of
June II, and we commend il to all Democrats
rs an example of honor. aud especially to
leaders, who too frequently lapse into inae,ion
after defeat
CHEsTERTowN, Mp., June IA, 1905.
Messrs Editors of the Transcript-Gentle
men In the primary on Saturday last eseh
faction exerted It's utmost nerve TO win success.
The Organization was successful and named
their ticket. They did what they had the
right to do and every trae Democrat viii bow
to the will Of the majority and give the ticket
his most hearty and earnest support All this
talk about supporting Republican or mixed
ticket is nonsense From now until the next
election there should be no more faction"
in our party, but each of US should give that
untiring support which we would have de-
manded OF the Organization if our ticket had
been successful. No other course would be
honorable after participating IN a primary
contest With a united front and earnest
effort there is no reason why our ticket should
not receive much larger majority than was
given the Democratic ticket in 1908. The
ticket as made is strong one, and deserves
the support of everyone who calls himself q
Democrat Respectfully yours,
HoPE II. BARROEL.

Adopt the Amendment.

In this issue Of the ADVOCATE viii be found
an article on the proposed amendment TO the
Constitution, limiting the elective franchise,
by Frank A. Richardson, of Washington,
which was published in the Baltimore Sun of
Thursday.
Mr.. Richardson was for many years the
chief of the Washington staff of the Sun. For
some years he wrote over the non de plume
of Data and later he signed his initials
s.F.- A. r." His accuracy and reliability
gained him an enviable reputation. He had
a wide acquaintance among Senators and
Representatives, Cabinet officers, and politi
clans, with the most prominent Of whom he
held confidential relations. He was thus en-
abled to gain the ms and outs of politics and
legislation, which was used with discretion.
Mr.. Richardson's article on the amendment
gives some inside history on the adoption Of
the fifteenth amendment to the federal Con-
stitutiou. He also shows the indifference of
prominent Republicans upon the matter of
negro disfraachisement, and their willingness
TO let the negro go. The colored man was
gwen luC bdlAOt bCNAAoC ~ was bC4iCfCN uC
would be a valuable asset to the Republican
party, but has become more of an annoyance
than a benefit, and therefore the more thought
full and conservative of the prominent Repub-
licans look with eomplaeency upon the effort
in Maryland to get rid of the ignornat and
lower class of negro voters, just as they viewed
the action of the Southern States TO the same
end.
Mr.. Richardson also alludes to Chairman
Hanna, of the Republican State Central Com
mittee, who said the Republicans had been
fighting in Maryland for thirty years to have
honest elections. He did not go fully into the
matter of Republican dishonest registration
and elections in this State. A readable chapter
can be written upon the conduct of elections
in Maryland when they controlled affairs in
this State, and will be before the ides of No
yember. Mr.. Hanna will regret that be ehal.
lenged a comparison of the Republican record
on honest elections.
Let every person read Mr.. Richardson's
article in this issue. Older men will have
their memories refreshed, and younger ones
will learn some political history.

not they contemplated nominating ticket
this year but expressed the hope that the
factions would get together harmoniously and
obviAte the necessity of their placing a ticket

that their party was intact and stronger now

A Cherry King.

Zach Kaufman the CHERRY king of York
comfy, Pa, was in Harrisburg last week to
make deal whereby his entire crop Of cher.
ries, aggregating 1000 bushels, will be mar.
keied in the capital city.
Mr.. Kaufman has 500 cherry trees. loaded
with cherries. This week he will have 900
more trees TO ripen. The cherries are all of
the sour variety and find a ready sale. Mr..
Kauffman's cherries are the very best raised
in the county or state. The trees are all
grated on roots of wild cherry brought from
France. The seeds of the French wild cherry
are very small and when grated with the ma
tive sour cherry, cherry with small seed
and exceedingly heshy is the result.
Its said that Mr. Kaufman will clean up
one dollar profit on each tree aud as he has
], 700 trees, the profit will aggregate 81, 700.
Many farmers could take lesson from Mr.
Kauffmans orchard. He has little farm of
a very few acres. He has planted it in fruit
trees and his income IS greater than the larg-
est farm in York county. The cherry orchard
of 200 trees covers less than ten acres.

Talbot County Democrats,
From the Easlon star.pemocrat.

We notice that the Baltimore News and
Baltimore American are endeavoring TO ex-
tract great comfort from the action of the
Convention here last Tuesday in not endorsing
the Constitutional Amendment. We will say
to these journals that the day of their rejoicing
is likely to be of short duration. That while
it is true the Convention did not endorse the
amendment, the Convention did pass Reso.

amendment, and who viii. if need be, advocate

Under recent law Ohio has put a stop to
the elopement of thousands of young people
who went to that State to be married. Eight
couples on Saturday left the picnic grounds at
Rock Springs, opposite East Liverpool, o.,
and entered the various justice shops seeking
TO be made one. The justices had previously
been in the habit of telephoning to Lisbon,
the county seat, and obtaining marriage
license. This has been stopped by the Probate
Court of Ohio, and law enacted whereby
marriage licenses cannot be granted unless the
prospective brides are residents of the State of
Ohio Statistics prove that more than 2500
couples each year left western Pennsylvania
for Ohio and were married.
