Applies to Primaries.

In view of contests which have de-
veloped in certain counties for Judicla
or local nominations, a number of pol
iticians have inquired if the Corrup
Practices act affects the primaries ir
the same manner that it does the gen
eral election. Governor Crothers de
clared Monday that it applied to botf
and that Democrats and Republicans
alike must obey it.
"Every effort must be put forward BY
both parties to enforce the Corrupt Prac
tices act, both in the primaries and tn.
general election" said the Governor
"The Democratic party is responsible
for the law, and it will live up to it, and
the Republicans must do likewise. The
law provides the same punishment fol
Tor CORRUPTION in the paimaries that it
does for corruption in the genera
election, and these provisions should b.
thoroughly understood by all before it
law was in effect during the last cam
paign, I-believe that it will be NOR,
effective this year, as it provides thai
if any candidate is elected by c-rrup-
ton the office may be declared vacant.
Under this provision all candidates will
realize that it is useless to spend money
for corrupt purposes to secure an Office
which may be declared vacant as soon
asihe is inaugurated.
''ln primary campaigns the can 1idates
must file with the clerk of the court q
statemest of the amout of contributions
r ceived by them and also an itemized
list of expenditures just as is done in
general elections. The law will be
rigi lily enforced, irrespective of party
or candidate"
The Governor reiterated his desire
for the passage of an act providing for
d. ect nominations for all local offices
Uuder the present primary election law
by the nominations can be made direct or
conventions except in the counties
where the Crawford county system has
already been adopted.

Governor. lis simply beginning in tn

place the entire responsibility on the

of both parties, and also the parties

haitian, not the slightest change hav-
ing been made since the season open
ed there.
There are no less than seven sensa-
tions on the program, any OF which is
great enough to give a circus distinc-
ton. There are the wonderful Schu-
mann horses which waltz on their hind
legs, drink from large glasses and roll
each other around in huge beer barrels
elephants that use the telephone, con-
versipg with each other over the wire
from one end of the main tent to the
her; the thrilling double somersault
ing automobile, reformed by young
French girl; Roblidello, the Mexican
wire wizard; the wonderful, Torch
family of acrobats and 100 other great
acts that are new toAmerica.
This will be the only opportunity for
the people of Southern Maryland to see
Ringing Brothers circus, and probably
never again will such an array of Euro
pean talent be seen under one manage
ment, as the expence of giving such a
programs almost beyond belief.
The paarde will be given at 10 O'Clock
in the morning and it is an entirely
new spectacle. Some of its features
are Camels, Zebras, Deer, Elephants
and Llamas driven in teams like horses
and harnessed to ornate tableaux. The
parade will be three miles long. The
menagerie, too, is wonderful fair,
greatly enlarged and filled with strange
specimens of the animal world. AT
the head of the m9nagerie is Darwin,
the missing link, which in miniature
house with windows, electric lights hot
water heater, chairs and tables. Oar

from bottle and shaves himself.

Lectures for Catholics and Nom
Catholics.

On Sunday May end, the priests of
the Catholic Mission Hou Sc, Washing
ton, opened a series of lectures for
Catholics and non Catholics, at Dodon
and West River A. A. county. The
object of these lectures is to give clear
explanation of the teaching of the
Catholic Church on the subjects treat
ed and thereby remove from the minds
Of non-Catholics ERRONEOUS impression
about her doctrine. So far the atten-
dance has been large and as the miss
ion is open to all. II Is very probable
the capacity of the Churches will be
sorely taxed before the closing lecture.
The most attractive feature is that any
one in the audience may ask questions
and they will be readily answered.
The fathers giving mission are: Rev.
W. Colbert, D. D., Rev. D. J. MCun-
tain. D. D., Rev. W. J. Gibson, Rev. J.
9. Gallagher, Rev. Father Hayden,
Rev. John Lawless the former pastor.
The suggestion by Governor Crothers
that convict labor may be profi.ably
employed on the public roads is worthy
If careful consideration. In order to
put this plan into operation some
legislation will be needed. But in the
meantime there is authority for prison
srs to work on the roads. Under Chap
ter TAT of the Acts of 1906 prisoners in
the county jails may be required to
| W ork on the public roads of the several
counties or "in any quarry, pit or yard
in preparing material" for use on tie
roads. Prisoners in the House of Cor
rection may be employed, and some OF
them have been so employed, on the
State road leading from Baltimore to
the District of Columbia.
In nearly all the counties able bodied
| men are kept in absolute idleness al
the cost of the taxpayers. Fer many
of them this is no punishment,
whatever, and especially are traps
content to hug the Jail stove during the
cold weather, supported by the tax
payers. As the Governor we'll says, it
would be more wholesome for these
Jail prisoners, physically and morally,
to be put to work. The quarries and
| the Dads would be excellent places for
pistol toters, and large gang of them
might | e gathered if the peace officers
are reasonably alert. In the peniten-
tiary and House of Correction there are
m any prisoners with terms of imprison
ment so short that they cannot be
taught a trade. If these are put on the
roads, there would be little temptation
for them to attempt to escape, as the
danger Of recapture would be worse
than to serve out the short terms.
In Georgia conviets are to be put to
work on the roads as a reform. 1t had
be en- the practice to lease them to con
tractors, and great cruelty had been
practiced upon them. This produced s
great outcry and protest, and that sys'
tenn was abolished. and now 1900 prise
ners are to be put to work on road.
making under the charge of the State
officials, who will have no temptation
to overwork them or treat them with
unnecessary harshness. To put thu
convcts in this State on the roads
would be of great benefit to the State
and of advantage to the prisoners
