that if the crOssmark extends even an
rnfinitesimal distance beyond the mar
gins of the box the ballot must be re-
jected. This decision of the Democratic
Court of Appeals cost the Republican
party many thousands of votes in the
State of Maryland and is responsible
more than anything else for the con-
tinued rule of the Democratic party in
this State. And yet the Democratic
party has the etfrOntery to describe
this tribunal as ''nonpartisan" and to
ask the Republican voters of the Fourth
Judicial Circuit to guarantee continued
Democratic supremacy in that court by
the election Of the Democratic nominee
for judge in this circuit. The attitude
of the Democratic party is an insult to
the intelligence of the well-informed
and thinking Republicans of Western
Maryland We will rot kiss the hand
which smites US, for such is not the
part of manhood. The life of the Re-
publican party in this State is at stake,
theatened by the Straus amendment,
and back of that amendment, ready to
ratify and enforce it, if adopted, stands
Democratic Court of Appeals. In the
face of these facts it is more than man
itest wisdom it is mere elf-preserva-
ton for the Republicans of the Western
end of the State to avail themselves of
the opportunity at hand and elect the
able, upright and fearless nominee of
the Republican party to the bench of
the Court of Appeals Any other
course would be fantastic folly, would
be to court destruction and lend aid and
comfort to the corrupt Democratic Of
ganization which is determined that the
party of Lincoln, Grant and Mckinley,
of Roosevelt and Taft shall be exiled
from power in this State.

The JUDICIARY AND The STRAUS
AMENDMENT.

president laft mas condemned the
Suraus amendment. He has told the
people Of Maryland that it lis viola
ton of the spirit of the Fifteenth
Amendment which Ought to be voted
down bv everyone, whether Democratic
or Republican, who is in favor of a
square deal.
This is the guage not only of the
President Of the United States, but of
one who is a great statesman, a great
constitutional lawyer, and who in his
time has been a great Federal Judge.
No one on earth is better qualified to
pass an opinion on the Straus amend
ment than is President Taft He is
sincere and honest He is well-inform-
ed on the political situation in Mary
land. He knows the motives behind this
scheme and their dishonesty and utter
disregard Of human rights justly call
forth his Indignation. Such an outrage
as this amendment proposes must arouse
the wrath Of every honest man, be he
Democrat or Republican, just as it has
aroused the wrath Of the President.
But while the Presidents condemna-
ton Of the Straus amendment will be a
call to arms 10 every Republican in the
State, if such a thing We're needed. it
will have no weight with the corrupt
Democratic oligarchv who are bent on
the destruction and disruption Of the
Republican party in MARYLAND. Re
gardless Of the views Of the President
the Democratic organization continues
with its SURVEYOR perish struggle to
secure the adoption of the disfranchis-
ing amendment at the November cleo
ton in order to make MARYLAND a one
party State.

should not rest in fancied security.
The Democratic party is determined to
accomplish this purpose. 1t is de-
termined to DESTROY the Republican
party in MARYLAND. 1t was determined
= 10 90 IL IN lSbD. WlGH IL came forward
with the Poe amendment. and it is even
more determined to do it now, when it
comes forward with the Straus amend
ment. And no matter what NAV be the
fate of the Straus amendment, no mat
ter how overwhelming a defeat it NAV
receive at the hands Of the people. The
Democratic party will not be discour-
aged or abandon its project. As sure
as the sun rises and sets it will come
forward again after the next session of
the Legislature with another disfran-
chising amendment aimed as a death
blow at the Republican party. And if
again it is defeated. it will bide it's
time for the next attempt. for the
Democratic party viii be satisfied with
nothing less than the adoption of a
measure which will restrict the suffrage
to an extent that will guarantee the
practical extinction of the Republican
party in this State.

GOVERNOR COSGROVE.

Governor Cosgrove's gallant fight
against what many hold to be an in
durable disease has awakened the ad-
miratiOn of the whole country, and no
little measure of victory today crowned
his efforts when he was sworn in as
governor of the commonwealth Of
Washington.
Cosgrove's struggles for the govern
orship will always be a part Of the po-
litical history of the state. In the fur
therance Of his political ambitions he
has made many enemies, as any man
in politics makes enemies but old-tlrrr
political fights have been forgotten
while the state anXiousIy watched the
sick mans greater battle-a battle
against humanity's implacable enemy.
And thus it is that today the people
of the state Of Washington, responding
to that touch of nature which makes
the whole world akin. greets their new
governor cOngratulates him on the
progress he has made toward recovery
hopes and prays that he may yet live
to faithfully serve the people of his
adopted state, and that his adminiStra-
ton will be one of purity and progress

Mr.. Stead writes them himself, but he
claims that the action of his pen Is in

him to sub consciously write such let

their fathers, but we fear that the fact

SPIRITUALISTS.

One of the topics which lis now
worrying those of us who have the
time to look aside from the essentially
practical into the speculative affairs of
this word-and the naXt-iS the mat
ter of spirits and especially the mat
ter of whether the spirits of those who
have passed away are able to cOmmu-
nicate with those of US who remain in
visible form upon the earth.
1t is a World-old problem but the
last year or two has seen the discus
sion reach an intensity which has led
to acrimony among distinguished sci
entists and investigators and it may
be that before another year or so it
will be possible that We may know
something about the truth of one or
the other of the contentious even if we
do not understand all of the details.
Unfortunately for a ready and
sweeping decision upon the subject.
the spirits themselves seem to be
rather erratic and unreliable. says the
Seattle Times. Those who believe in
them are ready and willing to excuse
these shortcomings and to blame the
failures of V'aborately arranged Sc
ances upon the mediums indigestion
or the peevishness of the spirits under
control
Disbelievers, however, have a diff
ferent way of looking at these failures
ana contend that the whole thing is
a combination of hypnotism and de-
ceit.
One of the most sensational of re-
cent statements made by believer in
spiritualism is that of William T
Stead, the London journalist, who
states that he receives almost every
day a letter from his son who died ;
year or so ago.
These letters do not come through
the mails. neither are they mysterious

I-SALOON LEGISLATION.

Round one in the sixty day set-to be-
tween the liquor forces and the anti
saloon league has closed with the adj
vantage all on the side of Prince
Booze, and today's advices from Olym-
pia indicate that the anti-saloon
league will be compelled to adopt diff
f5rent tactics if there is to be any
local option legislation.
The Olympia correspondence clearly
indicates that the attempt of the anti
saloon league to dictate not only the
kind of bill to be passed by the law
makers but just when and how the bill
should be passed, was largely respon-
sible for the action taken. 1t is not
strange that many of the lawmakers
1t is proverbial how election to the
allied opinion of himself-felt that they
should at least be allowed to have a
little to say about this important
piece of legislation,
The saloon lobby, which, by the
way, seems to know a little bit more
about practical politics and human ma
ture than their holier- than thou oppo-
nents, was not slow to take advantage
of this situation, with the result that
when the vote was taken the Ii ,.uor in
terests were able to temporarily at
least shelve the BILL not only in the
house, but in the senate as well.
And now, the prediction is made
that when the bill is finally brought to
light, as it will probably have to be
brought to light in order to redeem an
ill-considered promise made by the
Spokane convention, Mr. Doty and Mr..
Raymond will not recognize it as their
offspring.
1t would not be surprising if the diff
ferences of opinion at Olympia became
50 marked between those local option
lists who favor the combined county
town precinct unit and those other To-
ca! optionists who think that the pre-
cinct alone would be the proper unit
and it is easy to see how the saloon
lobby will labor to prevent a recon-
citation of these differences of opin-
ion-that the legislature would final
ly give the matter up in disgust and
devote its attention to making an in
sufficiency of revenue meet the top
heavy estimates of the various depart
ments of the state government.
