KNUDSON'S PATRIOTISM.

, Knud Lawrence KnudsOn, better
known as Larry, the wealthiest ONCE
building chief janitOr OF Chicago. will
have his breast tattooed with the
seal of Norway and the national colors
Of Independence OF the country. says
the Chicago Post This is in honor OF
the final separation Of Norway from
Sweden, IL step which Mr.. Knudson
has advocated for the last thirty years.
He was at one time a member OF
the royal navy, has met King Oscar
and had many strange adventures in
foreign lands. His arms are already
tattooed with patriotic Norwegian sym
bols.
Mr. KnudsOn said the other morning:
More than half a million NorwegI-
ans in the United States are preparing
for general celebration OF NOrway's
final Independence. In New York Bos
ton, Washington. here (ChicagO), Oma-

May End Hanging of women.

The reprieve of Mrs. Mary NJ. Rog-
ers by the governor of Vermont per
haps marks the fact that there wiz not
be another woman hanged in this ooun-
try. The Pennsylvania authorities
yielded TO popular demand in the case
of Mrs Kate Edwards and there can
be no doubt that Mrs. Rogers reprieve
is due TO the same influence rather
than TO the reasons officially assigned.
II has been made clear tha the peO-
pie of this country do not approve of
the hanging of women. 1t was no es,
pecial sympathy with these two par
ticular women which has stayed the
hand of The executiOner. Both are
guilty beyond question of enormous
crimes most fieRdish in their nature.
Each murdered her husband with de-
liberation and in cold blood. Every
new trial granted to each in order TO
put off the dreaded day only added to
the conclusive evidence of guilt.
But a righteous public sentiment is
Opposed TO their hanging, and, except
in cases where strong private interests
are involved on the other hand, public
sentiment prevails. Even the courts
nnd a way 10 ylelu 10 popular cldHST
Theoretically, of course, explains the
Atlanta Times. both sexes ought TO be
equal before the law. But in a con
fiict between sentiment and logic. the
latter generally gets the worst of it.
Cold-blooded nloralists bitterly lament
the introduction of the double standard
of Judgment.
Bat. after all, the standard of judg-
ment between men and women is com
mon enough in everyday affairs In the
minds of 80 of every 100. women are
judged differently than men are. One
virtue makes man; the loss of one
ruins a woman. WHY, then. should not
the double standard be consistently car
ried to the shadow OF the gallOws and
women for once given the best of it?

The Japan Indemnity.

The negotiations between Russia
and Japan win not begin until Aug
ust / 1t is said that Japan is
very moderate in her demands. The
largest indemnify thus far paid was
in settlement of the Franco-German
war. Germany demanded $1.000,00
OOO and it took three years to provide
for it's full payment. The patriotism
of the nation was appealed 10 and the
money was subscribed by the people
without affecting the banks. Russia ;
position is vastly different from that of
France. The people of France are pru-
dent. economical and rich. The people
of Russia are ignorant, poor and over
taxed. Russia therefore, TO meet her
indemnity will have 10 rely upon other
nations 10 take her bonds, and her
credit is already strained through her
present large Indebtedness.
IL will be more onerous for Russia
to pay $500. 900 than il was for
France TO pay twice this amount The
war has COST Japan about $500 900 600.
She can easily get an equivalent for
that outlay by eXacting the surrender
of the Russian railway in Manchuria
ria held by Russia and all the Russian
warships that are at present laid up in
eastern ports. Japan has at least 500
10000 10 her credit at the present
time in different New York City insjitu-
tions. and this money may remain there
If Japan secures an immediate payment
of money indemnity.
Ehe weakening of Russia as nation
by che war is most unfortunate for
France. as there Will now be a CON
slant fear that Germany may now be
come involved in another war with
France. Such a war would be very pop
ular in Germany. for IL would make the
German people worship their emperor
and give Germany another long. pros
porous period. fact thai alone Is ~
most sufficient incentive TO bring about
a war Thus the present status of af-
fairs in Morocco may lead to another

at the election in November. 1t will
be published for three months in THE

for not knowing what they mean or
what is desired by their adoption.
lfthe Dem crats of this county would

the ignorant negro-for sometime, and
very little expense will be incurred to
keep fully abreast of the times.

THE FRA CHISE END
WHAT 1T Is DESIGN
ED TO ACCOMPLISHMENT
VOTE AGAINST IL MEANS.

The Democratic AdUOcdte, published
in Westminster by Vandiver Brothers,
is one of the most ardant advocates of
the adoption of the Constitutional
Amendment limiting the franchise to
the negro, which can readily be seen by
reading the following editorial from a
recent issue:
The Republican contention that the
proposed Amendment to the Constitu-
tion in ended to eliminate the ignor-
rant negroes from the registration lists,
is simply a plan to perpetuate the rule
of the Democratic leaders, is entirely
baseless. 1t is the best the Republica
press and managers can do, for they are
afraid to come out honestly and declare
in favor of negro sufferage. The first
objection raised to the adoption of the
Amendment was that too much power
vas given TO registrars of Voters, frofu
whose decision they declared there was
no appeal. This objection WAS soon OBJ
liberated by showing there is ample pro-
vision in the registration law for APP
peals, coupled with the further fact
that at each voting precincta Democrat
aud RenubIicaR constitute the Board

Miss Mayhugh Sues VIM T
Harwood for SIS, 900.

Miss May Belle Mayhugh, who
was acquitted of fraudulently ob
tanning 81, 500 from William Thos.
Harwood, has, through her ar
tornels, p. Frank Pampel and
Albert }. Brown, brought suit
against Mr. HarwoOd for $15, 900
damages for alleged malicious
prosecution and false arrest and
imprisonment Miss Mayhugh
denies that she had ever been
housekeeping for Mr. Harwood,
as charged by him in the writ
for her arrest.
Counsel for Miss Maynugh not
only have the letter dated June
2Sth, from Mr.. Harwood to Miss
Mayhugh, proving that he gave
her the 81, 800 voluntarily to buy
herself home or to go into bus
mess, but say that they have a
copy of his will devising the
bulk of his estate to her in case
he should die.
Mr.. William Thomas HarwOOd
belongs to a we'll known family
and was one of the beneficiaries
of his fathers will, which made
him we'll off. The death of a
brother also added considerably
to his fortune, but it is said that
he has been spending 1t at both
ends and that 1t is much de-
pleted In consequence. Some
time ago his wife secured a di-
vOrce a mense ct thora and thirty
dollars month alimony. Since
and before that Mr.. Harwood'S
attentions to Miss Mayhugh have
been noticeable.
1t is said that a few days ago
his wife, son and daughter made
formal application for a guardian
to manage his affairs, they claim
lug that he was incompetent and
that her legal rights were in
jeopardy unless some restraint
was put upon him.

of Registry, and that no one can be
registered or denied registration or be
stricken from the registration books ex-
cept bv agreement of both. After this
explosion of the first Republican con-
tention came the allegation that the
Amendment was designed to perpetu-
ate the rule of the present Democratic
State leaders, contention as baseless
as was the charge that there was no
appeal from the decision of registrars of
voters.
The Amendment is intended to purify
the registration lists, to eliminate the
ignorant negroes, and to keep the State
under th- control of the intelligent
white voters If the Republicans are
unwilling to submit their claims for pre-
ferment to the intelligence of the State,
they have no faith in the business of
their cause nor the personal of their
leaders and candidates
The white people of Maryland do not
regard the native negro vote of Mary
land as a menace to white supremacy
in the State. Their votes can be easily
overcome in all but six or eight coun-
ties; and one ofthe reasons for eliminat-
ing the ignorant negro is to reclaim
these counties to the intelligent white
citizens Southern Maryland is retard-
ed by its heavy black vote. Persons
from other States and other sections of
this State will not live there The
paralysis of growth and progress there
affects the balance of the State.
a further reason for the adoption of
the Amendment is the probability of a
large influx of negroes from the South
ern States which have denied the
privilege of voting to their ignorant
populations. Ever since these States
changed their Constitutions Southern
negroes have been roming to Maryland,
principally from Virginia. Should the
proposed Amendment be defeated the
fact will be an invitation for a still
greater influx of iliterate negroes.
And here lies great danger to whi'e
supremacy; menace to good govern
ment; a niti ace to our system of main-
tanning white and cOlored schools; a
menace to progress and advancement;
menace to peace md good order;
menace to the virtue OF our young girls
and women.
Inc newspaper or Wnlte man VINO
opposes the adoption of the proposed
Amendment
Favors Negro Suffrage,
Opposes an Intelligent Electorate,
Opposes White Supremacy,
Opposes Peace and Good Order,
Opposes Progress and Advancement.
There is no gainsaying this and no
amount of sophistry and deceit can
avoid the allegations.
