CORRESPONDENT writing from Annapolis
near the close of the session said: 1.-THE DEM
ocrats reluctantly passed primary election
law for the whole State based upon the Balti-
more city law. Rural Democrats did not want
the bill because of the expense involved, and
they had to swallow it because Governor Croth-
ers declared that platform pledges are not
empty promises. There has been an interest
ing contest within the Democratic party over
the essential features of the bill, a contest in
which Governor Crothers and Senator Smith
have locked horns. Governor Crothers stood
for a popular primary vote, while Senator
Smith stood by the counties in their conten-
ton that the city would have too much pre-
ponderance in a popular vote. The Senator
has been the winner in the contest, and his
fight combined with his election, first to the
long term in the United States Senate, begin
ming March 4th, 1909, and his election to the
Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Senator Whyte, have easily made him the
Democratic leader of the State just as the gen.
eral course of legislation for Baltimore city
has made John J. Mahon the Democratic city
leader"

CONCLUDING AN editorial on the kind of men
Governor Crothers should appoint on bis Good
RQaasI egVefnaf rrot6eiRs il ready tS CONSIDER
appointments on the commission it is to be
hoped that he will give due attention to the
claims of Baltimore. This city will pay two
thirds of the S5,0OO.OOO loan, and on this
ground alone can fairly ask recognition. 1t
may be, however, that Baltimore city would
be satisfied with the appointment of a resident
of Baltimore county. The relations between
the city and the county are very close and thei-
interest in the improvements of roads is not
less important than that of any other part of
the State. These considerations should have
weight with the Governor when be appoints
the commissioners under the new road act"

THE NINETY days session of the Maryland
Legislature ended after midnight on Monday
last and there was, as usual on such occasions
much confusion. The closing scenes in both
houses were made interesting by the pleasing
remarks made in presenting the gifts of which
both President Seth and Speaker Ray were
made the recipients. These were silver tokens
of esteem to those faithful officials and no
doubt they will be highly priced by them.
We cannot see that this Legislature differed
materially from any of its predecessors. It
enacted some good laws and some that are adj
mittedly bad, but perhaps, in the end, the
good will outweigh the bad. No doubt the
State would have been better off if the session
had never been held. In fact, there are al
ready too many laws on the statute books and
to be adding to them every two years, without
getting rid of scores that are of no use what
ever seems to be the merest folly.
