Roosevelt As Senator.

That President Roosevelt NAV he tb,
successor of Senator PIatt. of New
York, in the Senate is considered h1
many in Washington as not at all i'm.
probable.
those who regard this as possible de.
clare that the President himself has
assured them he would not be averse ia
the acceptance of the senatorial Office
after March 4.
de has said within the past year that
with Mr.. Taft, as President. he wonId
not feel the same hesitancy about enter
ing the Senate that he would with some
one In the White House with whom his
relations were not as intimate.
His attitude. has been adverse To en-
tering the Senate because he has felt
that ne would be called upon to criticise
MS successor in the Presidency. He has
SAID, however, that knowing Mr.. Taft
as he does, he is confident that there
would be no antagonism.
1t Is even suggested that the absence
OF the President on his proposed Afri-
can hunting expedition need not stand
In the way of his election, but rather
that such absence might relieve the sit
uatlon of embarrassment to him in case
his friends should desire to press his
name.

Debs and the Socialists made a spec
tacular and aggressive campaign, and
thus impressed many people with the
notion that they were to make great
progress in the national election. In 1904
the Socialist vote in the United States
was 400, l59, and this years the Social
lists claimed" million. At national
Socialist headquarters there is said to be
keen disappointment because economic
conditions were thought to be ripe for
strong dissent, and Debs had made an
energetic campaign, to which there was
apparently enthusiastic response. The
official vote is not known, but it is esti-
mated at between 700, 900 and 800. 600
for the nation.
AS matter of fact, Socialism seems
to have met setback.

losing his vote if he undertakes to mark
his own ballot. These ballots are never
seen by the voters until they are given
them just before voting.
The poll tax qualification should be
repealed, and We ought to have a plain
ballot that can be voted by any quail
ned voter, no matter how illiterate he
may be. We hope the Richmond Jour
nal and other Democratic papers will
unite with US in working for these and
other reforms in our suffrage and cleo

wilson Law InIqulty.
Baltimore American.

Our Wilson law is making MARYLAND
notorious. That Taft lost six of the
eight electors of Maryland THROUGH
trlckery and is accorded a bare 600 pll,-
rallty is fact that has been sent broad
cast throughout the country, and tends
10 give the state very bad name with
respect to the quality of its politics.
The state will incur such odium as long
as 1t perpetuates a system of non-uni-
form ballots and ballot laws and toler-
ates the law that has prevented the
voters from ratifying their real senti-
ments by 5000 plurality.
In the county of Chairman Parran
Tor instance, the Democratic super-
vlsors prepared ballot with the names
OF the Democratic candidates for presi-
ueht and vice president at the top of
the column, while the Republican presi-
GENITAL candidates were assigned to the
FIRST column, directly under the Demo-
cratic electors, thus giving a clear ad-
vantage to the Democrats.
When the ballots appeared the names
OF the Republican electors were printed
IN the second column under those of the
congressional candidates, and Congress-
man Mudd's name, that had been ar
ranged to follow second in the congress
slonal order, was given third place The
Democrats were instructed to omen only
the top fold and make their marks for
the candidates they would find there
While the Republicans had to omen the
unwleldly ballot and hunt all over it for
names they wanted to vote. This is not
an isolated instance, as in Somerset
there were 600 votes thrown out on &C
count of defective marking or folding
and In many other counties the ravisb-
ment of the ballot went merrily on.
1t will be recalled that the last state
campaign was largely fought out by the
Republican party upon the necessity of
having the disgraceful election laws
wiped off the statute books and the all
clifton of the patchwork system of vot-
ing. Unfortunately, the tricks of the
Democratic party to perpetuate itself
IN Office and to control counties for
purely partisan purposes that otherwise
could not yield Democratic maiorities
have been winked at by many honest
persons. They regarded these proceed
ings as bit of amusing smartness. But
the gravity of such a situation is seen
in the light of the closeness of the pres-
ent vote. Had Maryland the determin-
ing vote the national interests in most
vital respects would have hinged upon
the results of the astuteness of the
Democratic tricksters. Thus the enact
ment of discriminating election laws for
petty political purposes might readily
be the means of frustrating the will of
the nation. This is a situation that ia
ar atfront to the entire country and dis
gushing to honest Marylanders. It il
time for the people to awake and vigor-
ously, from this time on, demand that
the obnoxious election laws be wiped
from the statute books. Let this be the
asst election in which thousands of vot-
era are denied their sovereign rights
through means that are destructive of
he basic principles of our government.

Twsntr-sIsth or Notwithstanding



Philadelphia Press.
Will William H. Taft be the twenty
seventh President of the United States
or the twenty-sixth? AS a matter of
TACT, there have been only TWENTY-FIVE
men, including the Vice Presidents who
succeeded TO the Presidency. who have
held the office of President. Mr. Taft
VIII be the twenty-sixth man to eniov
the honor and exercise the powers of
President of the United States. WHY
then, should he rank as the twenty
seventh President?
"a the Mckinley peristyle on the
State Capitol grounds at Columbus. O.
anu on the dedicated obelisk in Niagara
Square. Buffalo, William Mckinley ia
declared to have been the twenty-tiftb
PRESIDENT of the United States. This
agrees with the numbering of the al
manacs, and if it is true Roosevelt is
the twenty-sixth and Taft will be the
twenty-seventh President. although
only twenty-five men will have preceded
him in that office.
Inc confusion arises from calling Cleve-
land the twenty-seco and the TWENTY
fourth President of the United States
because his two terms were separated
by another incumbent. If the Presiden-
tai terms were numbered this would be
correct, and not only Cleveland but
every eight-years President should be
credited with two terms. 1t is an an
omaly to apply the term method of
enumeration to Cleveland alone. This
country has had only twenty-five Presi-
dents, and it is impossible for Mckinley
to be the twenty-fifth and Taft the
twenty-seventh if individuals are meant.
II we count by Presidential terms of
four years, the country will have COM
pleted thirty of these terms on March
next, when Mr.. Taft will enter upon the
thirty-frst Presidential term and he the
twenty-sixth President.

JUDGE MAUE LAW.


A short time before the recent cleo.
ton certain citizens of Richmond. Vir.
gina, nearly one thousand it is said
discovered that their names were not
on the treasurer's printed list. made
under Sec. 38 of the Constitution. A
row was made, and these lists were
turned over to Democratic ward poii.
uclan for verifcation and reformation.
This was an unheard of and unwarrant-
ed proceeding. Not satisfied with that
the Democratic politicians of Richmond
applied to Judge Witt, of the Hastings
court OF that city, and he promulgated
the following remarkable order:
ITO the Judges of Election:
In view of publications SUGGESTING
the lncompleteness and inaccuracy of the
lists of registered and of qualified vot-
ers placed In your hands, as required bv
the Constitution, it is proper that
should advise that the right of a citizen
TO vote depends upon his compliance
with the constitutional requirements
and must not be interfered with or de-
stroyed by the negligence of anv min
isterial officer. You are, therefore
directed to facilitate in every proper
way the ascertainment of that right
and the casting of that ballot, and to
that end you should use and carefully
examine all such lists available to Won.
and In the event of the absence of the
voters name from such lists, you must
accept the poll tax receipts for the
three years next preceding this cleo
ton, or the City Treasurer's certificate
OF the payment of such taxes, as evil
dence of the citizens qualification tn
vote, provided his failure to register Is
not due to his own negligence.
Should you be in any reasonable
doubt OF the course you should pursue
as 10 any point not covered by these in
structions, you should at once address
an inquiry to me at my office in the CITY
hail. where will be sitting during the
Pntlre day of election.
rs. B. WITT,
Judge of the Hastings Court"
We would like for our Richmond con-
and for Judge Witt to point
ls to the law under which he felt au-
'horized to make this ordsr.
The treasurer's printed list is conclu-
lVe evidence of who shall vote at the
election for which that list was certi-
led. And we know of no way of add
ng to or altering that list, except in the
1ay prescribed in said Sec. SO of the
constitution, The order of Judge Witt A.,
directly in the face of that section. !

lecturer In the uses and appliances of
air brakes These lectures are given
before the engineers and firemen at
9 a. m. every morning and before the
trainmen. switchmen and instructors
at $3.50 p. m Every trainman on the
system is also supplied with treatise
of the use of the air brakes in book
form in which they are required to be-

sends a car over the lines in charge
of an assistant Inspector who gives
demonstrations to the trainmen to
bring them up in efficiency in han

OF all cars now in the service are
equipped with air brakes and it has
become almost absolutely necessary
that all trainmen should be familiar
with every detail of the working of
the appliances of the air brake.
