TO ATTACK WILSON LAW
A New Plan OF Campaign Is Now Pro.
posed.


While the United States courts are
dealing with the legal side of the Wilson
Ballot Law, the Republican State Cen
trPl Committee intends to attack it from
another quarter, and preparations are
now being made to bring home to the
people in sections unaffected the impo-
sitions they are tolerating and which
may ultimately be- employed to prevent
them from expressing a choice at the
polls.
The plan in to have a competent
corps Of speakers tour the counties in
the State, who will not only discuss the
iniquities of the law, but describe its
application by producing ballots used in
the recent campaigns which disfranchis-
ed not only colored, but white Republi-
cans. 1t is claimed that notwithstand-
the frequent exposition Of the methods
OF constituencies election officials, the
masses have no conception Of the enor-
NIFTY of the otfense, and it is with the
view Of acquainting them with all of
the details, and then exhibiting the
ballots the voters in Southern Mary
land and the Eastern Shore are asked to
mark
While no definite program has been
arranged. the proposition is to have
mass meetings to which Democrats as
well as Republicans are to be invited.
Politics, as such, is not to enter into
the discussion which is to be devoted
wholly to the same subject which it is
claimed is of sufficient Importance to
interest all citizens regardless of party
Independent Democrats will probably
be asked to aid in this campaign of edu-
cation against a continuance of prac-
tees that are making this State by
word for corrupt electiocs.
To make a nonpartisan demonstration
it is believed wise to have these meet
ings before the State campaign is in
augurated, beginning soon after the
first of the year and keeping the ball
rolling until next fall, by which time
sentiment will have so crys allied as to
compel an abandonment of the tricks to
disfranchise other than Democratic
voters.
Meanwhile the legal campaign is to
be pushed in the courts with the hope
that the offenders may be furnished an
object lesson. There will be no let up
in the Charles county case. The dis
trlct attorney is confident he has suffici-
ent evidence to secure a conviction. At
any rate, all Of the Objectionable feat
ures will be ventilated in the courts,
ard the testimony here adduced will be
used on the former by the speakers who
are attacking from the other quarter.
The State Committee is determined to
put an end to this sort of thing, and are
sure that when once it is understood
there will be a political revolution in
this State.

An All-Around Move.

c. A. Beeder has sold his residence
on Meyers avenue to DR. W. H. Ryland,
and will today remove with his family
to Granville to resume management of
his hotel, the old National House, which
had been leased by U. G. Blocher. The
latter, having accepted an official posi-
ton in the First National Bank of
Grantsville, is obliged to give up the
the hotel business. Mr.. Bender, on ac-
count of having to take back his hotel,
gave up his position rs travelling sales
man for the J. c. Orrick Co., of Cum
berland, Md, and has been succeeded
with that firm by A. A Maust, who
will remove from Cumberland to Mey-
ersdale. DR.. Ryland will vacate the
Ford property on Broadway today and
take possession of his new home, thus
making an all-around move.-Meyers-

Obituary.

Mabel Frances Clarv, the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank H. Clary
passed away Nov. %, 1910, aged four
months and ten days. We deeply sym
pathize with the bereaved parents be-
cause of the death of their first born
and pray that God may comfort their
sorrowing hearts. He does not afilict
in anger, but in love. He saw how they
loved their little one so he took it unto
himself that 1t might also be pure and
spotless from sin and thus be an endless
delight to them when they shall follow
to that heavenly land whence it has
gone. AS we cast a long, lingering
look at the face of our little darling
which was soon to be hid by the dust Of
the grave our hearts, though heavy with
sorrow, did not break, for we remem-
bered that she was in the hands of our
loving Father and that, some where,
we would again see that little face so
like a flower. Jesus died for the little
ones and they are safe with him. Grieve
not, therefore, as those who have no
hope, but rather let our faith grow
brighter as one by one our loved ones
pass over the river and rest under the
shade of the trees.

Controlled Newspapers.

The Atchiso1 Globe says that no ad.
veruser has ever tried TO control its ed
itorRl policy. the remark being occa-
SID by the charge often made nova
day that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy OF newspapers.
The experience OF the Globe is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal OF ad-
vertising is Ihore interested in the cir
culation department OF a newspaper
than in the editorial department. II q
daily paper goes to the homes OF the
people, and is read by them, he is salts
fed, and it may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
of his own, and he isn't trying to shout
der those Of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and good many Of them, more's the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men Who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled b.: chronic ofiiceseekers, whose
first concern is their own interests.
mere are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice OF
such newspapers is always raised IN
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu-
ally is controlled by it's owner, and he
Is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts OF sacrifices at all sorts Of
times; there are people who consider
1t IFS duty to insult his advertisers,
just to show that he is free and indie
pendent. If he shows a decent respect
Tor his patrons, who pay him their
money, and make 1t possible for him TO
carry on the business, he is ''subsi-
died" or controlled" The newspaper
owner is a business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer-
chants are expected to have considera>
ton for their customers, and they arc
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. 1t is funny COM
bination when you think 1t over

~ HE happy possessor of a touring
car or the happier occupant of
one, who regularly takes the air
in someone's else touring car, presents
herself these days in a bonnet and a
protecting coat which fastens into a
"coat-dress." This garment is of pom
gee or linen, very practical, dainty and
protection against the dust from
collar to hem. 1t is shaped in such
variety of ways that one may choose
from among the pattern books the
most becoming style. The simplest
lines remain the best and the coat
dress should be plain. Brilliantine,
of the washable variety, is another
choice in fabrics, where the wearer
has reason to wish to get something
other than pongee or linen.
The bonnet is made OF Madagascar
cloth on a supporting veil frame and
does not crush the hair. The crown
is made of an oblong piece folded In
and the bonnet is finished about the
face with shirred taffeta silk. Ties of
the taffeta, made from piece-silk, are
fringed out at the ends and hemmed
at the sides. The frames which sup
port these bonnets hardly deserve the
name, for there is so little to them.
The cloth is n why fabric which
needs little help to retain 1t in place.
But the bonnet is designed to be cool
and the wire supports are made to
that end. 1t must not set too close to
the head. These pretty head pieces
look very simple and they areas
simple as sunbonnet-which Is not
