The Constitution of the Agri-
cultural Society TO be
Amended.

Judge Henderson refuses to rec
ognize the Society as legally or
gained organization, because the
managers were appointed not
elected.
AT the quarterly meeting of the
Frederick County Agricultural
Society, held Nov. z, amendments
to the constitution were offered
by DR.. Steiner Schley.
The amendments are to make
the constitution conform to the
corporation laws of the State.
which require that, instead of the
election of officers and appoint
ment of managers. a board of
managers shall be elected at the
annual meeting, and that they
shall elect the officers of the So
ciety.
The amendments, with the ex.
ception of the clause relating to
the election OF the managers, are
the same as those which were
adopted at the last annual meeting
of the society. but which Judge
Henderson declined to approve be
cause the society did not elect it's
managers. and was held therefore
not to he legally incorporated
body. These amendments relate
to matters OF. minor Importance in
the constitution of the society.
They will he brought Up at the
annual meeting OF the society on
the first Saturday III January for
action.

The bill over which Chairman Payne
has been lsboring for months, and in
the prepa, alton If which "a large force
OF clerks and tariff experts have been
employed" will doubtless prove fine
specimen of legerdemain. If there be
any tricks in the way of keeping a
promise to the ear and breaking it to
the hope in which Chairman Payne's
experts may he deficient, the short
coming can be suppl ed by the Steel
Trust, through Representative John
Dalzell. while the special committee
under Chairman Mann has been en-
gagged all summer in trying to discover
a method of tariff revision that will
not hurt the Lumber Trust and the
Paper Trust.

A big touring car. in which
Governor Crothers, Senator Lin
thicum and Senator Biddison and
Chairman Tucker, OF the Roads
Commission. while inspecting the
highways of Anne Arundel cOun-
ty. broke down when the party
was in sight of Baltimore on the

for sometime in expectation that
the machine would be repaired, and
would take them in saiall to the

the two Senators and Mr. Tucker
then took up their journey on foot
for Westport. where they embark
ed on street car for the city. The
Governor went to Annapolis late
in the afternoon. He is now oc
cup,ing the executive mansion.
With the election out of the way
Chairman Tucker is anxious that
the work of selecting the roads to
be improved shall proceed as rap
idly az possible. in order that the
surveying parties may be put into
the field, if the weather is not too
rough. Before the routes in Fred
erick county are finally selected
the Governor, Chairman Tucker
and mem hers of the commission

Senator Carmack is Slain.


Former Senator Edward w.
Carmack, of Tennessee, was shot
aud almost Instantly killed on
November 9th, at his home in
Nashville. Tennessee, by Robin
Cooper. son of Duncan Cooper,
a political leader. who had been
bitterly arraigned in the columns
of he NashriUe 1eanesseean. of
which Mr.. Carmack was the edi
tor. Cooper received a wound
IN the shoulder, but it is not ser
ious.
The killing was the direct result
of an editorial that appeared in
the paper OF which Senator Car
mack was the editor, on Novem-
her 9th, taking Colonel Cooper
severely to task for the part that
he took in the recent campaign
in support of the liquor Interests
OF the State, following an editor
ial of the Sth, in which Colonel
Cooper was ridiculed as the
peace maker, who brought to-
geth the Patterson and Cox fac
tons. formerly the bitterest of
enemies.
Colonel Cooper wrote a letter
to Senator Carmack telling him
that lie must stop using his name
in the editorial columns or suffer
the consequences. Senator Car
mack paid no attention to this
demand, and on the 9th a severe
criticism of Colonel Cooper ap
peared, aud the tragedy resulted.
Senator Carma was one of
the most talented of the Soui hern
Senators. In debate he was
without an equal and "cut with
the keen point of a rapier. inveet
i've and sloQuence were employed
by him with equal ease. Humor
and sarcasm were his side arms. "
He was noted for his love for his
State aud for the South. Il
speak, sir, for my native South, "
said he one day. ut is a land
that has known SORROWS. a land
that has broken the ashen crust
and moistened it with its tears, a
land SCARED and riven by the
pillow share of war, and bilIowed
with the graves of her dead, but
land of legend, land of song,
land of hallowed and heroic
memories. To that land every
drop of my blood, every fiber of
my being, every pulsation of my
heart is consecrated forever. l
was born of her womb, | was nur
tured at her breast, aud when my
last hour shall come. l pray God
that | may be pillowed upon her
bosom and be rocked to sleep in
her tender and enclrcling arms"
He was beloved by all that knew
him, and his reelection to the
Senate was expected two years
hence-as the successor of Sem
ator Frazier.

THE Democrats of Frederick county
made great fight to win in the past
election. Chairman Conley was un.
firing in his efforts to reduce the odds
that he had to ovsreame, and he sue.
cpeded to some extent, especially in
the Congressional fight, but he could
not overcome the odds, when many
in the party supported the opposition.
From details that we have obtained
Bryan and Lewis should both have
carried Frederick county, had the
Democrats doue their duty on election
day.

OU2 SIMPLE BALLOT
Tue Baltimore Sun in its ISSUE Of

The Baltimore SIM in its issue of
Wednesday,, o~sber Sot4ays:
"The ialloi % ne voted Tor on Tues
day next, is one of the simplest given
Maryland voters for many years ard
eau tie mar6ed cor ectly without diff
ficulty."
Notwitl standing this most patent
fact hundreds of voters on election
day either spoiled their ballots or only
partially marked then This latter
fact is most patent from the returns
which show M ST distinct variation
Frederick cou ty, for instance, Ray,
the leading Dem, cratic elector, re-
ceived 5,l5S votes, and Bic Her 5 1929.
Robinson, the top Reia hlicsn elector.
received 1896. and Bnn,berger 5.747.
In the Republicans case the difference
betwee the top and the second
electr was 1877, and on tn Demo-
cratic side 1877 TINS shows that the
voters are responsible .of this peculiar
=
either disregardei Instructions, or else
did not bother to post themselves.
Ia Baltimore City the plurality of
Mr.. Robinson, the leading Taft elector.
over MIR. Ray the leading Bryan
elector, was ., $780, showing conclusively
that the voters there also disregarded
the plain aud simple Instructions issued
by tue election authorities and also by
the Attorney General were not follow
ed. Ouly two marks were necessary IN
the.coautl and four in the CITY of
Baltimore, where the water aud sub
way loans we're To be voted on. Many
voters marked only one or two elect RS
and thea s.opl ed. Olhes marked
more, but less than the required mum
Der. Others again invalidati q their
ballot by marking more than the EIGHT
electors.
The Sun in its issue of sunday, No
vent er the Sth, blames the ballot Jaw
and the bal iot iselffor the anomalous
result. 1t is rather difficult to recon-
cile this with the statement at the
heat of this article.
1t has been proposed that an amend
ment To The Constitution If the United
States be made, by which the Flee
torsl College Shsll be- abolished, and
many prominent Democrats in Marv-
land are in faver of simple form of
ballot. The l,,ter is what we will
really have to come 10 eventually. 1t
is only right that any voter whose
name appears on the registration lists
as entitled to votr, should have that
right. unhampered and unchallensed.
If there is any disqualification it
should be during the process of regis
tration and not afterwards That is
another problem for the people of this
State to solve.
But when all is said and done, Mr.
Bryan carries the majority OF the
electors'of the State of Maryland and
our Congressional plurality in the
State is over 5000. So the Democratic
party came out of the recent campaign
with high honors, despite the obstacles
placed in the pathway.

view that "for the first time in
years the Democrats have now a
united party.
"While / believe that Judge
Taft will ably and conscientiously
perform the duties of the Presi
dency," he continued, II am of
the opinion that the election of
Mr.. Bryan would have been far
better tor the country. We need
a change of measures and of men.
We shall continue to fall short of
our ideal of government of the
people, by the people, and for
the people, so long as the money
of those who enjoy special priv
ileges holds the balance of power.

GOVERNOR JOHNSON, of Minnesota,
looks like the rising sun. A Demo-
crat who can carry his own State in
face of a normal Republican majority
OF 100, 900 is marked for man of des-
tiny. Perhaps he will be the Moses

OF conr- e it is Theodore Roosevelt's
day to shout, and We would not if we
could, infiict upon him the terrible
punishment of silence. But the cleo
ton is not 20 much Of victory for him
after all. The country elected Mr..
Taft not because he was Mr.. Roose-
velt's candidate, but in spite of it.
After the turmoil ami agitation and
disirust which he has succeeded ia in
nicIing upon the country. the voters
took Mr.. Taft because he v as the most
conservative of all If the candidates
in the field. There was legislation in
restraint of corporations and there were
prose utions OF corporations aefore the
Roosevelt era, aud they aroused no
public di-trust, and did not knock the
bottom out of the mar ket. Cleveland,
an Harrison and Mckinley maintain
ed the right of the community TO pre-
tect itself from mismanaged corpora
en- but they did not threaten any
body they did not attack wealth, prop
erty, or even corporate management.
Under Mr.. Taft there may be further
corporation legislation aud there msy
also be prosecutions of the railroads
and industrial enterprises. But there
will be 30 such language in mess ges
to Congress, in speeches and in letters
for publication, as the President has
been distinguished for, and the ordi-
nary course of legislation AID litigation
will proceed as it did before. Theo-
dore Ro sevelt anneinted himself as
the apostle Of righteousness, the gen
eral manager of the United States and
the placator of the social revolution
which, so far as it exists al all, is of
his lwn creation.
