BITTIMGER.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

After ten days of almost ideal spring

friendly terms with our glowing hearths.

to snatch at the Straus proposal with
one of its provisions hacked off. This
is the educational clause. They have
suddenly awakened to a very palpable
method of altering the amendment; so
palpable that if it were really valuable
to the party it would have been adopted
long ago.
The people are not fooled, they will
not be deluded by the scheme to project
the old discussion into the arena; they
understand that the Democrats feel
they cannot possibly win again unless
they have a number of constitutional
amendments with which to draw the
fire of the enemy and thus permit the
ticket to win. out. They are counting
without their host. The proposal of
another constitutional amendment in
defiance Eof public judgment would be
taken as insulting and recalcitrant, and
the people who have settled finally the
issue will be prepared to give the DEM
ocratic mountebanks just the kind of
dressingtthat they appear to be aching
for. 1t is really too bad to have to
speak out sosplainly in meeting at this
time when the people are not interested
as to the future; having their plans laid
in advanceifor any move that the Dem
ocratic looters-not the Der ocratic
party-may make toward ravishing the
ballot or debasing the franchise.

MUST KNOW SOMETHING.

Every now and then some superficial
observer ventures the opinion that the
opportunities flor men to rise in their
callings and professions are limited now
as compared with the days when our
forefathers were engaged in the con-
quest of the wilderness. President
Northrup who is just retiring from a
service of more than thirty years as
president of Minnesota university, does
not agree with the proposition except
in so far as it relates to the men and
women who have for any reason failed
to prepare themselves for the work
which they undertake to do.
In his farewell address to the students
at Minneapolis, President Northrup
said:
don't think there has ever been a
time when the opportunities for young
people were as good as they are now.
The rapid growth of the country along
every line is furnishing many opportun-
tiles torhthose who are prepared for
work. The outlook is not good for those
who do not know much or those who can
do nothing.
Ours is an age which demands special
knowledge or special skill or special
power so that the individual may be pre-
pared to do some one thing with high
degree of precision and efficiency as
necessary antecedent condition of dis
tinguished success. 1t is an age requir-
ing preparation, and the youth who is
preparing himself to meet its require
ments is wise.

AN HONEST ONE AT ANNAPOLIS.

The sutfragettes: have-been invading
Annapolis in droves, masses, lunches,
hordes or legions-anyhow there lots
of 'em-this session, and they have
mere man backed to the wall and
speeches. with their facts, figures and
fashions. The following from the Bal
timore American shows that they could
make Gov. Crothers' economy policy
look like unbridled extravaganza COM
pared with what they can do when they
get the ballot:
At this very session IN the Maryland
State House. woman is reported as
being the only public servant honest
enough andIbrave enough to resist the
onslaught of the legislators to pocket
S25 and their stationery too. The legis-
lature of Maryland last session and this
voted away $l30, 900 of the states
money to. political henchmen. for al
legged clerical services and cleaning of
the State House. If women were there
they could and would have all this ser
vice well and honestly performed for
$4,000. If given the votes they'll find
the brooms that will sweep clean in
more senses than one. Midland Jour

TROUBLE BREWING

There....aress many signs of trouble
ahead for the ring-leaders of the Mary
land Democracy. In the first place
there is aigrowing disgust among the
honest rank and file of the Democratic
partysover the.use by their party lead
ers of the trick ballot and accompanying
okedimethods. The anti-negro cry
to influence voters is one thing but
when. under color of entrapping the
negro with fixed ballot, thousands
of white men are sacrificed, then the
trick ballot does not seem so attraC-
tive. Then, 1there were many thous-
ands of citizens not posted as to the re-
sponsibilitY of the big leaders for the
ballot fraud, who sincerely beheved
that the Legislature would be run
economically and some important re-
form legislation be enacted. With over
two-thirdsIof.the session gone these good
people are beginning to have serious
doubts about these fair promises being
llldbC SbON- ne COiltlNuOuS IGhtldllbilo
of a scandaloustcharacter of the Demo-
cratic management of Baltimore city
added to the other conditions enemer-
ated, have stirred up such loyal Demo-
Gratis as former.Governor .Warfeld and
eX-Mayor Hayes to issue solemn warn
ings of the growing discomfort within
the party. If Governor Warfield were
good fighter he could make Vandiver,
Smith, Crothers and the rest bestr
themselves sto retain control but the
Ex-Governor has not the grit and deter
mination to make real war. Mr.
Hayes has been on pretty good terms
with the Ring.and is thought now to be
taking a few filings at the existing order,
to attract attention to his availability
for the Mayorally nomination next
spring Altogether, there is plenty Of
trouble hanging around loose but no
lead in sight with sufficient force and
following to dislodge the present ring.
