THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.

President-elect Taft, while approx
ing the tendency in the South to
purify the electorate by constitu-
tional restrictions which do not dis
eliminate, has made it clear shat be
disapproves OF shat class of restric-
tive clauses which are generally
known as grandfather clauses. A
large number of southern states en-
grated clauses OF this character in
their constitution for the purpose
oil eliminating the negro from politics
and they undoubtedly, as far as was
necessary, accomplished their pur-
pose. So far as we know all such
clauses were OF limited duration, and
at their expiration a purely educa-
tional qualification became the sole
test OF the rights to register and vote.
The Legislature of Maryland, how
ever, has gone step farther than
any other State I'm an effort TO save
the right of suffrage to her large but
illiterate foreign born population
and Others OF the same class who
may In the future come within her
borders, and at the same time elimi
nate the negro, by submitting so the
people, to be voted on in November
OF this year, a suffrage amendments
to the constitution containing a
grandfather clause which appears
TO be perpetual. Is is believed that
the constitutions OF other southern
states, certainly in their phrase
ology, are not In violation OF the
constitution OF the United States
and it is highly probable that the
proposed Maryland amendments will
bear the brunt OF a constitutional
test. but 1t would appear to be Just
a step closer to thin ice than any
former attempt to regulate she cleo
torate In the the south, and it NAV
bring about further unpleasant All
tation OF a question which ought to
be allowed to rest.

THE PRESIDENT FAILS To
MAKE GOOD.

The President surprises no one by
his failure so make good in the Sc
cret service matter. He sent a mes
sage 10 the Congress OF the United
States. which was calculated 80
arouse the suspicion OF the nation
against members Of the House and
Senate and then, when Congress
rightly called on him for substantial
tion OF the charges contained in his
message, he sends in a second mes
sage OF no Importance, containing
no matter iustifying his original at
tack on Senator'S and congressman
In connection with the secret service.
Mr.. Roosevelt has given the country
one additional illustration OF his
lack OF Judgment and has furnished
another opening for his enemies to
point at the excitability and RASH
ness OF his character. His charges
were foolish in the extreme, unless
we conclude that Congress is princi-
pally composed of men afraid to face
the limelight, and were probably the
results OF disappointment at legisla-
tive failure to appropriate money
sufficient to bring the service up TO
the standard desired by the Presi-
dent. Chiei Wilkie, OF the secret serv-
Ice, Is credited with an ambition TO
become the Fouche OF America and
his suggestions perhaps influenced
Mr.. Roosevelt in his efforts 80 In

OF the government. Mr.. Wilkie
should have lived in the time OF Cath
crime de Medici or Cardinal Richeileu.
when doubtless his splendid talents
would have been quickly seized upon
either by the Queen or the Cardinal.
As Is is. America. being in no imme-
diate need OF his extraordinary abil-
'ty, utterly fails TO appreciate Mr.
Wilkie.
