FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 4, 1910.
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE,

The Legislature on Tuesday last by
a decisive vote declared against wo-
mans suffrage and the result, we
think, will not be received with sur
prise or regret by the majority of
women of our State.
The question has been agitating af-
fairs at Annapolis for the past two
or three weeks. The women who be-
1ieve in suffrage for their sex have
been there by the hundreds and pub
lie hearing was held in the hall of the
House of Delegates last week.
We think the Legislature acted
wisely in turning down the suffrage
bill, not because women have not the
intelligence to exercise the right OF
suffrage, nor because they do not rep
resent property interests, but because
they do not represent property inter-
ests, but because it does not seem to
most men, that 1t would be womanly
for our wives or daughters or sisters
to get into politics and into the voting
booth 1t would, to some extent, let
her down from the high pedestal upon
which they chivalry Of man has placed
her. And moreover, we believe that
there are comparatively few women
i'm our State who want to vote and
would exercise the right if it grant
ed to them. ...., ..
The result, as we see it, would be,
IL the suffrage were granted, that
the women, or great majority Of
thcze who would 60 to the polls and
vote, are those whose influence we do
not want to see dominate our public
affairs, while except in rare instances,
Womanly women of our State would
stay away from the polls and the tur-
moil of politics.
The influence of woman upon the
-destinfes of nation is a tremendous
influence to be: exgrcIssd-saet at the
ballot box but in the home 1t has
been aptly said "ThefRahd that rocks
the cradle rules the world. The
chiEalzousa spirit 1if hfiian can always
be depended upon to- guard the in
terests of woman. So let man con-
tinue to assume the responsibilities
of government and do the voting.

An Enjoyable Party.

For the Advocate.
On Wednesday, February %, the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. G. Wright
near Taylorsville, was the scene of q
delightful party given in honor 81
Misses Amy Fleming and lola n
Streaker. Bad roads and long dis
tances proved but slight obstacles, and
the house was soon filled with the
merry young people, intent upon en-
joying themselves. The time was
spent in plays, social conversation
and various kinds OF music, notable
among which, being several choice
selections on the young violinist OF
Woodbine, to whose growing fame, the
admiring guests, with one accord, paid
glowing tribute. After refreshments
were served, but, too soon the hour
arrived for the guests to bid their
young hostesses good night and seek
their homes.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs
Chas. G. Wright, Mr.. and Mrs. Ollie
Fleming, MIR. and Mrs. Elmer Grimes,

THE LEGISLATURE AND THE
STFFRAGETTES.

''VOtes for women has not been a
Maryland, but if it's advocates con-
tinue to invade our halls Of legislation,
the result Of their attack may have a
serious effect upon the work accom-
plished by our lawmakers.
They are now approaching their
busy season and if they continue to
permit themselves to be subjected to
artillery attacks OF pretty eyes, and
listen to the siren songs of low, sweet
voices, the State il bound to suffer.
It's time to call halt, and something
must be done to rescue the beseiged,
who are naturally enjoying the as
saults upon their wisdom.
Now most of the enemy are young
and unmarried, and if some are old
and attractive, they are no doubt
unmarried or childless, for If
they had children they would be at
home. The great force then OF the
happy resolution made last week by
q member OF the Kentucky Legisla-
ture, when he proposed that no suff-
ragette be heard unless she brought
her baby I'm her arms, becomes at once
apparent Whether his wisdom came
from an honest desire to attend to his
legislative duties, or was caused by
the knowledge Of the weakness Of his
powers OF resistance when brought in
contact with the beauty and witchery
OF the Kentucky women, we know not;
but what we do realize il that he de-
serves the thanks of every man serv-
ing in the Legislature OF any State,
for pointing out 80 easy an escape
from their embarrassing positions.
Take heed then you members or the
Maryland Legislature. Allow no
suffragette to disturb your serious
thoughts and have you neglect your
duties BY pleasant contemplation of
your superiority, as evidenced BY her
interest. Follow the suggestion or
the brave Kentuckian. and refuse not
only to- hear, but also to- see ONE, UNI
less she has her baby in her arms.

WESTMINSTER MUST TAKE INTER.
EST lin STATE ROADS.

Nothing L. or more Importance to a
town than ease of access. Nothing IL
of more aid in bringing the farmer to
its merchants stores, than good roads.
Westminster will pay much more than
any other town in Carroll county for
the State Roads, yet has, strange to
say, shown less interest i'm the subject
than any part of the county.
This indifference is unworthy of our
business mems acumen, and if they
do not arouse themselves and that
quickly, their lassitude will prove a
most costly proposition. The Road
Commission il preparing to build from
Sykesville to Westminster and will
do it, unless most positive and force
able objections be made. The Coy
ernor has stated that no pick should
be stuck in any road to be improved
by the State except at its nearest point
to the county seat anu the Road Com
mission should live UP to the promise
Of its most exalted member.
See what the present plan will re-
suit in, IL not checked. IT means
that the people living towards fancy
town, the people living towards Man
CHESTER and Hampstead, and the peo-
pie living towards Gambler, will not
get any benefit from the taxes they are
paying on the Road Loan this year or
for several years to come. lit means
that toll gates will still impede the
progress Of those coming from the
West and South to Westminster. 1t
means still more, for we firmly be-
lieve that the cost OF the miles to be
constructed from Sykesville to Gam
Der will consume the county's share
Of the Road Loan for the next three
years. Will the State then stop work
until 1t catches up with the county's
share of the bond series, OF will 1t
continue to spend I'm Carroll money
that belongs to some other county |?
We presume the State will be just, and
s., it will have to stop work in this
county.
AMI where do the other parts OF the
county come In by this When will
anything BE- done on the road to-
Taneytown or on the road to Man
chester ? And when done, how far
Oh each route will the State get with
the money II has left /? II can only
spend I'm Carroll county the county's
share, which the Road Commission
says i'm $3.50, 10000 but which, accord
ing to the Law and our road mileage,
Is about 100000. How. much OF
this sum viii be left after Morgan's
Run I'D crossed and Gambler reached
Very little according to present prices
of contractors, and I'm addition, out OF
what ia left the State proposes to build
the ten miles from Gambler to West
minister. 30 how can the rest or the
county come in for any benefit
The people OF the whole county are
surely entitled to b. treated fairly I'm
this matter OF the State Roads, and
the only way it can BE- done Is to
] commence on each OF the roads lead
ing into Westminster To be improved
by the state, and build out on NIL
three at the same time. More OF our
people will be thus benefited than by
any other way, fcr every one comes

AN AMENDMENT TO THE GAME
LAW,

The effort to protect our game birds
and animals by the various bills intro
duced in the present Legislature is to
be encouraged. The indiscriminate
slaughter heretofore allowed has al
most resulted i'm their extinction, and
shooting and trapping must be con-
fined and limited, if the boys of the
future are to have any sport with dog
and gun.
But efforts at any reform can be
successful only when sane and rea-
sonable. Public sentiment il usually
middle -the-road and balks at any
extreme punishment or regulation.
No law can be upheld or enforced
which does not meet with its require
ments of fairness, and the passage of
such a law will be not only useless,
but it's non-enforcement il always
harmful.
These remarks are induced by the
penalty fixed by Sec. 6 OF the Game
Bill introduced by Senator Milbourne
GO. p. No. 8OO. By it, amy one who
kills or has in his possession, living or
dead, ANY squirrel, rabbit, partridge,
woodcock, dove or pheasant" during
the closed season, shall upon convic-
ton be fined, not less than fifty nor
more than one hundred dollars. This
penalty is extreme, the minimum fine
should be much less than fifty dollars.
We wish to see this bill pass, as it
attempts TO make uniform the
hunting seasons in the different sec
! tons of the State and con-
tains many excellent provisions, but
when passed it should be enforced.
Change therefore. the minimum fine,
and when this amendment is being
made put in. the line required to make
sense between the 18th and 14th lines
Of this section, whose omission is pos
sibly the fault of the printer.

looks like the country has awaken

probability of making some money
that is reinvigorating and improving

breeding ewes is holding on later
this year than usual; a few months
ago when we were getting plenty Of
choice ewes, it was hard matter
to attract the Kentucky buyer, but
now since the receipts are very light,
they seem to want them and want
them badly. They have all cashed
in their lambs and wool, and have
figured out that it is too profitable
an industry to neglect.

tions for some of our Republican
friends as final resting place for
their mortal bodies, that are pos

rondly imagine they can quietly re-
poe throughout all the ages with
never a fear that the hallowed
ground will be desecrated by the
unsanctified foot of a Democrat.

place on the Judgment day as to
