Anne Arundel Politics.

Robert l.. Werntz, the Republican Super
visor of Election in Anne Arundel county, has
resigned. In his statement to the Governor
on Thursday be said that he had not declared
to any one that he was candidate for register
of wills, and that the charge that he was
emanated from DIR. Washington g. Tuck be.
cause he would not wear Tnck's cullar Dr.
Tuck, he said, was postmaster of Annapolis
and also held the position of Chairman of the
State Central Committee for Anne Arundel,
contrary TO the expressed views of President
Roosevelt. DR.. Tuck is severely criticised by
Mr.. Werntz, and altogether there is bad
mix up and muddle in both parties in Anne
Arundel. One Democratic Supervisor of
Election in that county resigned at the request
Of the Governor, because he was candidate
for office. The other, also candidate, de
clined to resigned, and was removed from
Office by the Governor.
The Democrats had misunderstanding as
TO the date of holding primaries. The origi
nal date was fixed for last Saturday. Owing
to the shake up in the board of Supervisors
of Election, the date was changed, but the
Bannon faction held primaries aud on We'd
nesday nominated ticket aud selected dele
gates 10 the State Convention.
Both parties in Anne Arundel are afflicted
with persoDalism-are more interested in fac
ton than party success-place personal ambl-
ton above party principles.

The remains OF John Paul Jones, hero OF

Extra Session in November.

Early in the spring President Roosevelt
announced his intention of calling Congress
in extra session to consider especially the
interstate commerce freight rate bill and
tariff revision. An extra session was not
viewed kindly by Congressman, railroad Off
Gals and manufacturers. The President then
abandoned the purpose to call an extra ses-
sion in October. and few days ago announced
his determination to call Congress together
about the middle OF November. As the reg
ular session begins on the first Monday in
December, not much will be gained in an
earlier meeting. Nothing particular was &C
complished by the extra session last Novem-
Der, except q controversy over mileage, some
members eontending that they were entitled
to mileage in attending the extra session.
The measures for which Congress was called
to consider all failed, and an earlier begin
ming this year does not promise much bene-
fit. Three months intervene before November
and the President may again change his mind
on the subject of an extra session.

1.-The right to vote" is a favorite expression
of negro suffrage journals and advocates in
Maryland. There is no such natural right IN
this or any other State. The liberty to vote
is privilege granted by the State under GER
tain conditions. A man must be twenty one
years of age; he must have lived in the State
one year, and six months in the county or
legislative district of Baltimore City; he must
go on one of several specified days and regis
ter, and as a prerequisite to registration he
must tell his age, color, residence, place of
nativity and how long he has resided in the
State, county or legislative district where he
offers to register. If he declines to answer
any of these questions he cannot qualify HIM
self to vote. Where. then, is the right to vote
the negro suffragists talk so much about
The privilege of voting becomes right only
after certain prerequisites are complied with
In Baltimore a person must qualify himself
to vote every year. If he fails to do so, he
cannot vote.
Persons convicted of certain crimes are not
permitted to register unless pardoned before
the termination of their penal servitude. Lu-
natics cannot vote. Foreigners cannot vote
unless they first become naturalized after a
| fixed period of residence, and then have TO
comply with the requirements Oft Constitu-
ton and laws as do natives of this country.
The negro suffragists use the expression
1.-THE right to vote deliberately, to impress
persons with the idea that the proposed Con
stitutioual amendment, if adopted, may take
away an inherent right. That amendment
simply adds several more prerequisites to
being registered, and will mainly affect the
| ignorant negro. He will have to be able TO
read and give a reasonable explanation of the
meaning of some part of the Constitution of
Maryland, or give a reasonable explanation
when read to him. The negro has had free.
dom and the opportunity of free education for
forty years. IL he cannot comply with the
Constitutional requirements, if the amend,
ment is adopted, it will be his own fault. He
has 20 reason to be unable to read and com
preheud, except his own indifference to EN-
brace opportunities to gain some education or
his mental iucompetency to understand what
he reads The Constitution IS no mystery.
I, is drawn up in plain language. 1t Is true
learned lawyers argue in opposition to the
meaning Of certain provisions, but they DO
that in professional way for iee. They
are not to be taken too seriously in their in
terpreiations. Any fairly intelligent man eau
give a reasonable meaning to any provision Of
the Constitution. But the average negro is
not capable of much mental development,
and he has little inclination to study With
the enormous expenditure Of money for pub
lie education during the past forty years the
State has a right to demand fair degree Of
intelligence as one qualification for voters.

so they declare, but the proposed amendment
does not suit their views
No amendment that would eliminate the
ignorant and vicious negro from the electorate
would he acceptable TO the Crescents. because
il that class Of voters we're eliminated The
Crescents would be eliminated FROM politics.
As it is, by combining with the negro party,
there is a possibility Of success. The uegraes

From the Senate to Prison.

United States Senator John Nipple Nit
chell, of Oregon, recently convicted of com.
plicity in the land fraud cases in the United
States Court at Portland, was sentenced on
Tuesday to pay a fine of $1,000 and serve six
months in the Multnomah county Jail. The
execution of the sentence is stayed during an
appeal to the Supreme Court of the United
States Senator Mitchell is seventy years old.
Should the verdict of the lower court stand,
in addition to Imprisonment and fine the
Senator by law is forever barred from holding
any office, and would thus forfeit his seat in
the Senate. Mitchell was born in Pennsyl-
vania, and his name was John Nipple. He
married in early life, and later went to Colo
RADIO, leaving wife and several children be
hind There he changed his name by adding
Mitchell to it, and married again. A daugh.
ter by his second marriage is Baroness Roche
foucauld. The Senator's career seems to
have been one of turmoil and trouble, be-
ginning badly and ending in disgrace.
