LAWS WILL BE ENFORCED.

Opposition to Republican administra-
ton takes shape mainly in charges Of
attempts to defy the Constitution and
efforts to destroy the courts. The
Constitution appears to be given a rest
just at present Even the vindictive
assaIlants may perceive the absurdity
of attempt to overthrow the Consritu-
tlon, when the Supreme Court is Great
ed for the express purpose of vindcat-
ing that instrument and is ready at all
times to perform its function. The
imaginary attacks on the courts are
more logical and plausible. 1t is easy
to fling dirt, and by energy and perse-
verence a little of it may be made to
stick. The only real attack which has
been made on the courts was made by
the Democratic party under Mr. Bryan
leadership. That party and its plat
form squarely denounced the action of
the courts, and pledged itself to reform
the judicial procedure The expression
of disappointment because a court has
rendered decision different from what
was expected is not an attack on the
courts. In this country people have
the right to criticise Even the Presi-
dent can do so without mourning the
pains and penalties of impeachment.
The fact is these charges of unconsti-
I tutionality and design against the
courts are the work Of a small but very
powerful part Of the people, who be
lieve their interests are menaced by an
equal enforcement Of the law. These
charges are really complimentary to the
administration, because they Indicate
that the party is doing precisely what
it promised TO do, and is doing it in an
efficient manner. The interests Of this
bristling opposition can no more be in
jured by the enforcement of the law
than any other interests in the country.
provided there have been and are no
violations of the law Laws are franz
ed to prevent violation, and they are
absolutely innocuous where no viola
tons occur.

clare law unconstitutional does not

Mr.. GATHERS SPEECH

In his speech Monday night accepting
the Republican nomination for govern
or, Mr.. Gather placed in the forefront
the question of our election law. He
made strong and vigorous plea for the
re-enactment of the Reform League
law passed by the Legislature of 1896, a
law which was radically altered in the
! extra session of 1901. On the subject
of the party column as against the
alphabetical arrangement of the names
of candidates, there is room for honest
difference Of opinion. But whatever
may be thought Of the question of go
ing back to the party column and the
party emblem, there is among right
minded men no difference of opinion
and no difference of sentiment on
the subject of trick ballots or on
the subject of the wholesale rejection
Of honestly cast ballots for trivial rea-
sons. Both these things have, ever
since 1901, been reproach to our
State. And we are entirely confident
that if Mr.. Gaither.is elected Governor
he will have no difficulty n securing,
with the backing of an overwhelming
public opinion, the abolition of both
these things, whichever party may prove
to have majority in the Legislature.
AS Mr.. Gather begins his discussion
of the issue with the question of the
election law, so he closes it with some
strong and timely remarks on the sub
ject of disfranchisement. In express
ing his surprise at the policy adopted by
the Democratic managers of "once more
promoting and bringing forward the
scheme of disfranchisement of MANY
thousands Of voters of this State which
was buried under an adverse majority of
$4,000 only two years ago, Mr.. Gath
er might have pointed to the extremely
sensible utterance of Mr.. John p. Poe,
made only four months ago. as con-
firmation of his view. That gentleman.
while expressing himself in favor of
renewed attempt to frame disfranchis-
ing amendment, reasonable interval of

make it so. The Constitution has wisely
established a means for testing the
constitutionality of all statutes, and
when a law is once passed by Congress
tits presumed to be Constitutional until
the proper authorities have decided
otherwise, nor is there any reason for
supposing that the recent laws passed
by Congress are unconstitutional. They
may be so.
1t IS not certaiu what view learned
Jursts will take of a question which
seems simple to the average mind, but
the administrations duty is pain. The
duty of enforcing the law was placed
upon the administration by the people;
motto administering the law so as to ben
eft one class at the expense of anoth-
er, not to pervert the machinery of
government so as to aid certain interests
to the detriment of the general welfare,
but to administer the laws equally, so
that each citizen shall have the oppor-
tunltles and privileges extended to all.
This we take to be the conception of
duty which the present administration
has IN view, because that is the way in
which it is administering the govern
ment. Under the circumstances, ridicu-
lous charges, no matter how bitter,
how fierce, or now ingeniously devised,
are more likely to injury the assailants
than the target at which they aim.

PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

AT the coming state election the vot-
ers of Maryland should for all time set
tie the question of Acknowledgement
which the Democratic party has for
years been making the main issue, not
withstanding the fact that the people
of the state have emphatically repudiat-
ed any such unfair and unconstitutional
discrimination. The suffrage question
is again the paramount issue, because
If the Democratic party carries the
state this fall they will again attempt
legislation looking to the disfranchise-
ment of the illiterate vote The cues
ton is one that should receive the serious
consideration Of all classes Of citizens.
-Four Maryland voters out of every
five, says the Baltimore News are
opposed to the methods which every
year result in the ,disfranchisement of
thousands of white men, many of whom
are neither stupid nor corrupt; vet the
Democratic State platform holds ont
not one promise, however vague, that
our present election system shall be
anywise reformed. A comparison of the
total vote counted at the election con-
Quoted under the Act Of 1896 with the
vote which has been counted at the
elections since the extra session of 1901
leads irresistbly to to conclusion that
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1907-09-26

ever since 1901 from 10000 to 3O.OOG
voters in Baltimore city have been virtu-
ally disfranchised. At least three-forths
OF these are white men andno living man
is as much responsible for the extra
session as is Ex-Gov John Walter
Smith. No living man is as much
identified with the maintenance of the
I system of elections then inaugurated.
A vote for Judge Crothers, his nomi-
nee for Governor, is a vote Of approval
for that election system. 1t is a vote
to continue practices which every other
year, or whereabouts, compel or induce
thousands of the best Democrats in the
State to vote for Republican candidates.
In Maryland, Democratic State candi-
dates can be elected without crooked
and dishonest methods. If no attempt
were made by men calling themselves
Democrats, and who have the power to
control the organization of their party
to arrange the election laws so that
they elect their candidates, whether the
people want them or not, there would
very seldom be any doubt in this State
Of the lccess of the Democratic nomi-
nees.
True, if the people, and not the
Election Supervisors, determined the
result of the election, it would not be
safe to nominate for Governor some one
whose very name is unfamiliar to nine
tenths of the voters of the State merely
because his selection would enable one
POLITICAL leader to work his vengeance
on others. The Democratic party in
Maryland as distinguished from some
Democratic politicians has nothing to
lose and much to gain from a system
under which the people select the candi-
dates. The very fact that the large ma
jority of the cultivated classes of the
State are Democrats gives it in this re-
spect great advantage over its rival
But for the very reason that the party
does contain so large a proportion of
the culture, intelligence and patriotism
OF the State there are always thousands
Of Democrats in Maryland who will not
stand for their party unless their party
stand for what they believe to be right
These thousands know that crooked
election methods are wrong and not
right. Every Democrat who has at
heart the permanent interest of his party
IN this State wants to relieve it of any
responsibility for dishonest election me-
thods. Every citizen of Maryland
whether Democrat or not, who has at
heart the best interest of his state and
Of the people of the state wants to put
an end once and for all to an election
system of which tricks and cheats are
part
''As the issle and candidates of this
campaign are made up, the best way to
advance the cause of fair elections in
the future-the best way to promote e
the good Of the state-is to vote for

SPENDERS AND SAVERS.

Volumes have been written, sermons
have been preached and even songs
have been sung from time immemoral
regarding the different classes into
which the human race is divided, but
after all, there are only TWO classes be-
tween whom there is real and distinct
dividing line: the spenders and the saw
ers.
The accomplishment of the great
workers of any age-the building of the
houses, the mills, the bridges the rail-
roads, the ships, everything that has
furthered mans advancement and hap
piness has been done by the savers.
The spenders carried up the bricks for
the savers who built the house.
The one who never had a dollar laid
away for the proverbial rainy day." or
in readiness for opportunity's knock is
slave. He cannot help being a slave.
for he is in constant peril of falling un-
der the bondage of those others who
have money.
The first step toward freedom and
independence is economy. Economy
means the avoidance of all eXtrava-
gance and the application of money to
the best advantage. The starting point
of economy is the first nickle, dime or
dollar that is saved as nucleus around
which the whole future may be built.
The trouble with most men is that
they are not willing to climb the road
to wealth by industry, temperance,
frugality and honesty, but spend all
their time looking for the royal road
that will enable them to attain the de-
sired goal without sacrifice or effort on
their part. Consequently, they go
through life dragging after them load
OF debt and obligations that cripples
their independence and makes of them
servlle, cringing creatures who cannot
stand up boldly and look the world in
the face because they have not dollar
in their pockets and the independence
that goes with it,
1t does not require superior courage
or virtue to be economical. Economy
is satisfied with the ordinary energy and
effort of the ordinary mind Economy
means to do without some little thing
today, so that we may have something
greater and better in the future.
Let us look back for ten years over
the life of the spender How easily he
could have saved dollar eack week,
without depriving himself of one single
effort or pleasure. Had he done so, his
bank account would now amount to
$500 plus the interest No matter how
small the income, a portion of it should
be religiously saved
To the spender we say Begin now
today, at once-purchase independence
and throw off the yoke Of slavery by
starting bank account. If you cannot
spare five dollars, start it with one
dollar. If you cannot spare a whole
dollar begin with ten cents and be-
fore another year rolls around you will
know how good it feels to have a real
bank account.

ADVICE FOR YOUNG HOSTESS.
Remember Originality Is a Matter Of
Experience.

In regard to entertaining. It Is a
mistake for a novice to attempt TO
~ something original. 1t Is in bet,
ter taste to keep TO the usual onven
tional forms until one becomes an eX.
perienced hostess.
Cards for an afternoon tea may be
sent to ones general acquaintances,
and there are various inexpensive
ways of entertaining those who have
extended special hospitalities
Evening card parties are much the
fashion, %luncheons for ones women
friends; small dinners OF six or eight
%congenial people are not difficult In
all cases husbands must be invited
with their wives, unless a party Is ex.
clusiyely for women.

The first Eddystone lighthouse was
erected by W~instanley In l696-l700. 1t
was built Of wood, on a stone base,
and stood 100 feet high; 1t vas washed
away by a storm in November, 1903.
The next lighthouse, also of wood with
a stone base, vas built 1869, by Mr..
Rudyerd, a silk mercer. II was de-
stroyed by fire in l755. The third
Eddystone, noted for its strength, and
the engineering skill displayed In II,
was constructed by Smeaton in 1853,
on model, It is said, of the trunk of the
oak tree, The tower, SO feet high, had
a diameter of 26A feet at the base,
and 10 feet at the top. The light, ~
feet above the water, was visible at a
distance of 10 miles. Owing to the
action of the sea on the foundation, a
new lighthouse was erected on a diff.
ferent part OF the reef In lS79.S2, by
Sir James n, Douglass, +. X. s. 1t has
an elevation of 1873 feet, and can be
