To Redeem Pledges.

In order to restrict negro suffrage Gov
ernor Crothers has announced that he will
advocate the submission of another con-
stitutional amendment at the next general
State election, which will be in November,
1911. The Democrats have the necessary
three-fifths in both branches of the next
Legislature to pass the amendment. and
the Governor believes that such measure
will be supported by the Democrats of the
State.
The party platform upon which the cam
paign was waged, the Governor said, would
be carried out in every particular. This
includes increased representation for Bal
timore. public utilities commission APP
plicable to all public-service corporations,
and pure food and drug act. The party
also promised to make certain amendments
to the Primary Election law.
The Governor said he would recommend
in his message to the Legislature the ex-
tension of the Crawford county system
over the entire State, making it mandatory
for both parties to nominate all candidates
by the direct voting system. He said he
would also urge the passage of popular
Senatorial primary election law under the
provisions of which the candidate receiv-
ing the plurality of votes in the primary
would be elected to the United States SEN
ate by the Legislature. Such law is now
in effect in Oregon.
The Governor believes that one of the
first things that the Legislature should do
is to redeem all of the platform pledges.
The Governor is also deeply interested in
the organization of the Senate and the
House of Delegates.
In expressing his opinion on another con-
stitutional amendment the Governor said
THE Democrats in the next Legislature,
having the necessary constitutional re-
quirements, should submit to the voter a
constitutional amendment upon the ques-
ton of negro suffrage. While there was a
majority against the last amendment II
must not be forgotten that this by no
means was a majority against the princi-
pie involved. 1t was beaten not by those
in favor of negro suffrage, but by those
who. while really opposing it. were afraid
that their right to vote was involved in the
issue. Consequently, being a question Of
principle concerning the welfare of the peO-
pie of the State. not mere matter OF
party expediency, the contest will be car
ried on until it is settled in the interest OF
good government.
I'm my judgment the campaign should
begin now. A number of voters did not
understand the proposition sufficiently well
to enable them to believe that their right
to vote was in no manner affected by the
last amendment. These must be made to
understand that fact before the election
two years hence.
The result of the election of a Demo
cratic Legislature with an overwhelming
majority and the reelection of DR.. Herring
by such large majority completely an.
swers the one-party State argument and
eliminates it.
amendment are only too anxious to re-eT
list in the old war. They will never give
up the fight until the proposition is adopt.

OH how hard we tried to save him,
Prayers and tears were all in vain,
Happy angels came and bore him
From this world of toll and pain.
How long he struggled against disease
That bafiled skill and care
How long he fingered racked with pain
And Sufferings hard to bearl
His sweet, fair form has faded now,
His cheeks have lost their roses.
His guileless heart so free from sin
In heaven now repOses.

Over the loss of my loved one.
Help me, oh. my blessed Saviour,
Kindly say. Thy will be done.

To dwell with Him who gave,
Another little babe
Is sheltered in its grave.
In love he lived.
In peace he died,
His life was asked,
But God denied
