BALLOT LAWS AND OTHER LAWS.

A prominent State official is quoted
by one of the Baltimore papers as say
ing he was of the opinion that there
would be no change in the form of
ballot, and che did not agree. if the
Legislature did make a change. in going
back only as far as 1896, but all the
way back to the law allowing a man to
make out his own ballot in his own
way" We do not know the name of
the prominent official, but we do know
that the majority of voters agree with
him in the last proposition. This is
what the MESSENGER has been advo-
eating not the Australian way but
the American way. Let the voter have
his own way about his own vote. Let
him have all the assistance he wants
in making out his ballot: and al! that is
needed is the same Judges and Clerks
in the polling rooms to see that the
votes are properly counted.
The introduction of foreign ideas is
all wrong un-American and never has
been in favor with the masses.
Another thing the masses desire 4
fewer elections, and for this reason
changes in the State Constitution are
desired. An election every four years.
would be acceptable to the people. We
know the public is tired of so many
elections = too much time being required
each year of men interested in public
affairs. to the detriment of their own
business, and incidentally affecting the
business affairs of all men with whom
they have dealings.
Every man who does not pay taxes
on real estate or personal property
worth five hundred dollars, should be
taxed one dollar year for school pur-
poses. This would make taxpayers of
the thousands of colored people in the
State who have the privilege of public
schools now maintained almost solely
by white tax payers. Thousands of
young. unmarried men who do not con-
tribute anything to the support of the
State government or its institutions
would thus be enlisted in good cause
and be made to feel a responsibility for
the education of the youth of our State
We could then maintain in the most
liberal manner the best public school
system to be found in any state in the
Union.
1t is high time for changes in the
Constitutioniand Democrat. Republican
and Prohibitionist should welcome an
opportunity to better the organic laws
of the State.

NOT MADE IN BALTIMORE"

II is rather tiresome to the average
countryman to be everlastingly reading
in the Baltimore papers that the City of
Baltimore is doing so much for the
counties. One would think that the
countrymen did nothing whatever for
Baltimore.
Who has helped to make it the great
city it is?
The countrymen
Where do the country merchants buy
their goods
In Baltimore
Where do the country merchants get
the money with which to make pur-
chases in Baltimore?
From the country peoplel
Where does the farmer sell the pro-
duct of his farm and get the money to
pay the merchant who buys his goods
in Baltimore
In New York, Philadelphia, and Bos-
ton.
Where did Baltimore's best business
men come from?
The country.
Are they kicking because the city
pays something toward educating the
youths who will take their places and
hustle for Baltimore, as no city bred
youth can hustle?

Will all of you who think you are tired

Little Johnny Jones?' You will find
that at least one good one is left. 1t is
rather difficult to keep away from the
superlatives in reviewing Little Johnny
Jones'" 1t is musical comedy with some

without number, much good singing and
lot Of marvellous stage pictures.
If people could be persuaded that they
nave such goings on in the Hotel Cecil,
London, as Little Johnny Jones" por-
trays nobody would argue in favor of see
ing America first. 1t would be everybody
for London and the Hotel Cecil right
away. But through the foolishness runs
real story, a plot worked out with tine
attention to stagecraft and with an eye
single to amusing and entertaining all
corners.
And the ginger that the people got
into their work. No better stage manage
ment has ever been seen here, no better
handling of principals, chorus, ensemble
and pictures. The company is as much
entitled to congratulations on this technl-
cal feature as on the general excellence
