LITTLE SHOW FOR BALLOT REFORM

THE chances for ballot law reform at the
hands of the present Legislature look rather
slender. The Democratic managers appear
deal to all demands and are welded to saving
the Wilson law Tor the counties where it now
applies The Baltimore Sun is training lis bat
tcrics on the BOSSES, but thus far they hold
the tort and appear in no hurry to CapituIate.
The Republicans would stand for the re-cnact-
mcnt OF the law of 1896, which was in every
sense a fair measure, but they can do nothing
without aid from the so-stylcd "Indcpcndent
Democrats who can be located save upon criti-
ca Occasions. The bet that can be hoped for
is that something may be effected before the
session OF the Legislature closes. The Demo
Gratis are steadily losing ground, however, I'M
der the existing ballot system and sooner or
later will not escape the tide OF protest which is
rising throughout the State. For every negro
barred from the franchise by ignorance or
whose ballot is rejected for defect or other
cause, two or more white men are likewise
shorn OF the frceman's highest privilege. White
men may stand this for time but the time will
come when they will no longer stand for such a
trayesty upon popular government.

THE STATE AND The ROADS

SEVERAL counties on the Eastern Shore
and Others West OF the Bay, seek modification
OF the Shoemaker Good Roads Act. Dclcga-
tons representing the Commissioners Of sew
cral counties conferred with Mr.. I.uckcv OF
Frederick, last Friday morning, at Annapolis,
upon his substitute for the Shoemaker Act.
The substitute proposes to give the County
Commissioners general supervision and other
powers now exercised ~ the State authorities
~ ssI-e construction OF permanent highways.
The Eastern Shorcmcn urge also that the
county boards should have the choice OF mater
ial for road construction and claim that shells,
Stag and other materials are preferable to stone,
which is too costly
The champions OF the Shoemaker Act will
line up against radical changes in its features,
though they may conccdc uncssential modifca-
tons. Such counties as may be disposed and
are able to avail themselves OF State Aid under
the provisions OF the Shoemaker Act have little
cause Of complaint against its provisions. The
poorer counties will simply have to go slow in
accepting State Aid for improved highways or
decline it altogether until the State is supplied
with revenue sufficient to hopefully second such
efforts as they may be able to make toward OBJ
tanning good roads. Piece-mcal construction
OF stone roads is Of doubtful cXpcdenCy and
questionable utility. Where stone is abundant
and readily available macadam roads properly
built would be profitable and desirable, but
there are many sections Of the State where good
shell roads would be cheaper and quite as SER
viceable. The problem with us is to find the
money for State Aid Tor highways, and the mat
ter OF good roads will never be settled right till
the Safe takes charge OF the whole matter Of
road-building and maintenance and levies and
disburscs the money needed Tor the purpose.
