A Revelation to the Cook.

A happily married woman, who had
enjoyed 33 years of wedlock, and who
was the grandmother of four beautiful
little children, had an amusing old
colored woman for a cook.
One day when a box of especially
beautiful flowers was left for the mis-
tress the cook happened to be present
and she said: "Yo' husband send you
all the pretty flowers you gifts, missy?'
Certainly, my husband, nanny

goods store to look at some baby
dresses. The clerk showed her a line
valued at five dollars each, and talked
volubly about how proud" the moth,
er ought to be over the baby. He
suggested that possibly she might
want more expensive dress.
But the mother did not seem to
'enthuse" a bit over the clerks gush

WHY?

- He past week has been poli.i-
cally noteworthy for the mum.
4 Der OF prominent ministers and
laymcn OF Maryland who have come
ont hat-iootcd against the Disiran-
chisement Amendment. Many OF these
men are lifelong Democrats and only
take this step bccaucs they believe
this nciarious project OF the Demo
cratic Ring TO be wholly un-democratc,
un-nmercan and unjust. 1t strikes at
the very citadel OF popular govern
mcnt, without any justification for such
blow The negro vote in this State
has ben steadily declining for years,
being now only II per cent. OF the
whole While declining in numbers,
it has necessarily improved in intel
ligence; so that no man can claim that
il is n menace" to the cause OF good
government II il is a menace now, il
certainly was greater menace ten

years ago. when that negro vote was
larger and more illiterate. And yet,
ten years ago, in the State platform
on which John Walter Smith was no.
minated for Governor, the Demo-
cratic party distinctly pledged itself to
disturb none OF the existing rights OF
the negro race" That was in 1899. In
zoos they produced the Poe Amend
ment, under the direction oil the Cor
man Rasin party management. Why9
Why, this change OF front? Why the
call for such an Amendment in 1905 or
in 1909. when there was no such need
in 1909 Because the negro vote had
become a greater menace! Not at all.
But because the independent vote, the
disafTection in Democratic ranks, was
threatening the power OF the long-en-
trenched Democratic Ring, and that
Ring felt something desperate must be
done TO save itself. IL feels so today.
This whole wretched tampering with
| the suffrage, the abominable manipu-
lation OF the election laws until IT has
become difficult for most and impos-
sible for many voters TO vote, the I'M
| fair deal which the Machine gives the
people at the polls is all simply des-
perate effort OF the Democratic Ma
chine TO save itself from overthrow at
the hands OF independent voters. The
game will not work. The people will
beat this Amendment, just as they beat
the Poe Amendment, because the ma
jority OF people are not wanting in
| moral sense, Those folks who would
rather be regular than right do not
constitute the most or the best OF the
American electorate today.
