TIE MARYLAND CAMPAIGN.

There is but one issue in the Maryland
campaign-that of negro disfranchise-
ment. If the democrats were united in
support of the proposed amendment to
the state constitution 1t would probably
carry, but a considerable and influential
element of the party, under the leader
ship of United States Senator Rayner
is vigorously fighting the amendment,
feat In recent open letter by Senator
Rayner he denounced the proposed
amendment in the strongest terms, de-
claFing it to be an outrageous and often
slve assault on popular rights-"A
wretched piece of jugglery conceived in
fraud and intended to be executed in
iniquity." He pointed out that the
amendment would disfranchise not only
the negroes, but under the grandfather
clause" great many white men, not
of native birth, could be deprived OF the
suffrage. 1t is needless to, say that. an
men OF foreign birth are arrayed against
the amendment.
No more outrageous proposition has
ever been submitted to the people of a
state and it is almost beyond belief that
it can secure a majority of the voters
of Maryland. With such influential
democrats as Rayner, Governor War
field and others hardly less prominent
joining with the republicans in fighting
the amendment, aided by the strongest
newspapers in the state, IT would seem
inevitable, in spite of the fact that the
election machinery is in the hands Of
it's supporters, that it will be overwhelm-
ingly defeated. If such shall be the re-
suit it will end the political career Of

auARD1Na OUR INTERESTS.

In his references to the Panama canal
President Roosevelt has pointed out that
in the construction of that waterway.
which is of course certain of accomplish
ment, our interests in the Caribbean sea
will of course be greatly increased The
canal must be policed. which will re-
Quire an efficient navy, and in addition
ut is urgently necessary that the insular
and continental countries within or
bordering upon the Caribbean sea should
be able to secure fair dealing and orderly
liberty within their own borders"
In connection with this declaration
the president said that the United States
not only has no purpose of aggression
upon any republic, continental or in
sular, 10 the south OF us, "but has the
friendliest feeling toward them, and de-
sires nothing save their progress and
prosperity" He said that this country
does not wish another foot of territory
and referred to the conduct toward Cuba
as guarantee that this is our genuine
attitude toward all our sister republics.
"If ever we should have to interfere, 4"
said Mr.. Roosevelt, sin the affairs of
any OF our neighbors, it would only be
when we found 1t impossible longer to
refrain from doing so without serious
damage following, and even in such case
It would only be with the sincere and
effective purpose 10 make our interfer-
ence beneficial to the peoples concerned.
II would seem that, the people OF the
southern republics could ask no stronger
or more explicit assurance than this Of
the friendly interest of the United States.
They have no reason TO doubt the sin
certify of these utterances. They merely
repeat what the president had said on
numerous occasions and what has been
said many times by other American
statesmen There is no desire in this
country for a foot OF the territory OF
the countries south Of us. Aggrandize-
ment in that direction has no advo-
Gates among our people. There was a
time when the annexation OF Santo Do
mingo was urged. but there would be no
supporters for such a proposition now,
and the same is true in regard to Cuba.
We must guard our interests, however,
and In doing this occasions may arise

JAPAS's COMMERCIAL POSITION

JAPAN'S COMMERCIAL POSITION
Mr.. T.. II. Hartman, who has just
returned from visit TO the orient,
where he went TO look into industrial
and commercial conditions, says that
the japanese are the dominant factor in
the far east and that there will be large
future development, though not immedi-
ate. He expressed the opinion that IL
the United States is to participate in
such development 10 any extent it will
have to be by cooperation by its states
men and those representing it's business
interests and by close commercial ALI
ance with the japanese. A similar view
has been expressed by other practical
observers of conditions in the orient.
While the japanese are preparing to
push forward Industrial and commercial
development with all possible vigor the
progress made must for a time be very
gradual. The country is at present not
financially strong; there is a lack of
capital and this lack will not be easily
or readily supplied. II is true that the
government has remaining a consider
able sum from its foreign loans, but all
of this and perhaps more will be needed
to get the troops back from Manchurla
and for other purposes connected with
the restoration of peace. None of the
money can be made available for aiding
the business interests of the country.
Development. therefore, must take a
natural course and hence will not be
marked by rapid strides. AS to partici-
patton by this country 1t would GER
tainly seem that the opportunity is most
favorable for enlarging our trade with
Japan as well as with other oriental
countries and American manufacturers
and merchants will make very great
mistake II they do not do their utmost
to avail themselves Of it. A close COM
mercial alliance with the Japanese is
undoubtedly desirable and should be
sought There is no question as to those
people being the dominant factor in the
far east and any country that does not
realize this can expect to secure few
advantages in that quarter of the world.

MUNICIPAL HOME RIFLE.

The right OF every community to regu-
late its own affairs and decide for it.
self how much, II any, Indebtedness 1t
is willing to incur for public improve
ments and determine for itself whether
it desires to grant franchises to public
utility corporations, or to own and
operate such utilities under municipal
ownership, should be as sacredly upheld
and maintained, as the right Of every
community to elect the men who are
entrusted with the management of its
municipal affairs.
All the city charters recently framed
for Omaha have given recognition to
the principle Of home rule by requiring
the submission to the people of every
proposition for a new franchise, or the
extension of an old franchise for sup
plying the city with light, water heat,
power and telephone service. While 1t
is not mandatory upon the mayor and
council to submit every proposition pre-
scented to them by investors or promot-
ers who desire to acquire a franchise,
the spirit and letter of the charter I'M
doubtedly contemplates that such sub
mission should be made whenever the
proposition is safeguarded and the par
ties proposing It are willing to guarantee
or pay the expenses involved.
In other words, while the mayor and
council are not required to submit pro-
posals for franchises that bear upon
their face the evidences Of bad faith or
blackmail, it is their duty to give the
people a chance to express themselves
for or against the grant Of franchise
that promises to establish a competitive
public utility or an entirely new or i'm
proved service, or greater facilities for
serving the public. In any event, every
proposition should be given a free and
full hearing by the council. Unless it is
apparently deceptive, and made with de-
liberate intent TO sandbag an existing
corporation, that already has a franchise
in operating public utility, the PROPOSE
ton should be submitted to the people
so they may decide for themselves after
a full discussion whether or not the
franchise should be granted.
This is especially true where any con-
siderable number of the population pc
tition for the submission Of the PROPOSE
ton and desire an opportunity for a
popular expression through the referen-
dunn

county committee has made an excel
lent choice.
Mr.. Bandle possesses many years ex-

Omaha and enjoys a high degree of
popularity among all classes of people
with whom he has come in contact, So
cially and in business.
Politically Mr.. Bandle has been an
ardent and active republican and should
command the support of all elements
of the party at the coming election.
Judging by the general approval with
which his nomination has been received,
his election is almost a foregone con-
clusion.
