no foundation for the report that Mr..

Mr. william L. MarbuEy. q leader q the
Baltimore bar. who was consulted about
the proposed DiRgsa amendment 20 the
State Constitution, declares that tho idea
Of the invalidlty of the Fifsosnth Amend
ment 20 far a. Maryland was concerned
because the State declined to rattfy it
never entered the minds Of himself and
other lawyers who framed the Digges

shared by lawyers in the North az well as
In the South. and Mr.. Arthur W. Machen.

It has already been said that Mr.. w.
Mitchell Digges h roundly abused for
his acknowledgements plan. Criticism was
naturally 10 be expected from Republic
cans In Congress. who regard IL a. an at
tack upon the Fifteenth Amendment. but
the aharpest condemnation comes from
Democratic members Of Congress. They
fear that the Digges amendment u adopted
by Maryland would bring the grand
father CLAUSE in the constitutions Of
Southern States before the Supreme
Court. and they know that II the DiGges
amendment were upheld the Southern
States that have partially disfranchised
the negroes would Inevitably lOss a part
Of their representation in Congress. II
the Democrats In the Senate and House
could decide the fate of the Maryland
amendment 10 would have abort shrift.
Probably when the Republican states
men here get their bearings they will no
longer rally nobly to protect tho Fifteenth
Amendment. but will incite the foolish
Democrats in Annapolis to submit the
Diege~ amendment to the people Of Mary
land The waving Of the -bloody shirt"
would then begin anew and the attempt TO
distract voters from the issues and dis
sensions that are now causing havoc In
the Republican party would very likely
prove successful. Thus the fall elections
could be faced without sinking hearts
and the House might be saved.

That President TAFT and his advisers

outcome Of the negotiations b avert q

immineuce Of a struggle not only
harmful 20 the commercial lntarestn Of
to-day but heavily loaded with possi-
bilities Of economical and political CON
sequences the result OF which no person
could forsee has been the cause Of the

Il has been under discussion there has

time appeared inevitable. the election
of Mr. Foss 10 the House Of Repre-
sentativcs after q campaign in which
our dealings with Canada played a
conspicuous part would have carried
home TO him the menace Of the sitla-

John S. Beard On
The Senatorial Contest

member Of the legislature. and Of nu-
merous conventions. He has had
some experience in public affairs. At
ter twenty-five years, or more, obser-
walton Of, and association with him,
think unhesitatingly that Mr.. Stock
toms democracy is not the democracy
of America. It Is not the democracy
OF jefferson. 1t is not democracy OF
checks and balances. He has no con-
ception OF constitutional limitations.
His democracy is emphaticaIly and
distinctly the democracy of the French
revolution. This Is not intended as a
reflection upon Mr.. Stockton, but the
plain statement of a fact. He is sin
cere. patriotic and intense, and that
intensity Of temperament is not con-
trolled by study or reflection upon po-
litical history and American ins&itu-
tons. He has no conception Of the
constitutional limitations upon the
three coordinate departments Of gov
eminent He is perfectly oblivious to
the line OF demarkation between the
delegated powers Of tho federal gov
eminent and the reserved rights Of
the states. A measure that appealed
to Mr.. Stockton, as being Of temporary
advantage to the people, would receive
his ardent advocacy, whether it vas
inhibited by the organic law estab'
lished by the people as a Limitation
upon their public servants, or not II
Mr.. Stockton believed proposed act
Of congress would be OF momentary
| advantage or benefit to the people, he
would become an ardent supporter OF
the measure, perfectly oblivious to
the fact that in violating the funda-
mental law a precedent might be es-
| tablished for infinite wrongs and a
multitude OF evils to the very people
who he wished and thought that he
| was benefting.
Mr.. Blount's democracy, upon the
| contrary, is q constitutional democracy

the democracy Of Jefferson. OF Cal
houn and OF Davis. He has made a
profound study of political histor.
He has reflected upon our institutions.
He is thoroughly conversant with the
fundamental limitations upon the gov,
eminent He fully realizes the line
between federal power and states
rights. His advocacy of the right Of
the people would be within constitu-
tional limits. and consequently Of
practical benefit He realizes that
the government with its three co-or-
dinate departments are creatures OF
the constitution. One OF the most
philosophical Of historians, Grote.
says: 1T is necessary to create that
rare and difficult sentiment which we
may term constitutional morality-a
paramount reverence for the constitu-
ton Mr.. Blount has. In high de-
gree, this rare and difficult sentiment
morality.
think that it will readily be- ad-
mitted that no man can legislate for
the present and future who is not
familiar with the history and prin-
ciples of legislation, who has not
studied and reflected upon the causes
of the rise and fall Of government and
of peoples. Mr.. Blount has to an I'M.
usual degree this knowledge. Mr..
Stockton has 1t not even In a very
limited degree. Has Mr.. Bryan? You
do not know. He has given no evil
dence of it, and you cannot infer that
he has because he was a friend aud
supporter Of Governor Broward, and
claims to be his political heir"
Now the great question which con
fronts the democratic people of Flor
Ida next month is-wil1 they in select
ing man to serve them in the Sell
ate Of the United States, at this crisis
In our country's history, select one
whom they know to possess, in a high
degree, the honesty. patriotism and
ability to serve them; or will they
select a man who is honest, and pa
triot;c, but who, whatever bis ability
may be in other lines, Is not equipped
to serve them in the senate Of the
United States; Or, will they select a
man honest and patriotic, but whose
equipment for this service is as yet
an unknown quantity?

WOULD CLOSE
STORES MONDAY
MOVEMENT Is ON FOOT TO HAVE
STORES CLOSE, IN ORDER TO
GIVE CLERKS AN OPPORTUNITY
TO ENJOY THEMSELVES.

A movement has been started III
the city to get the consent OF all mer-
chants to close their stores ON Mon
day, in order that the clerks may have
an opportunity Of remaining at home
the day following Christmas and en-.
joyins themselves.
One Of the most prominent mer.
chants Of the city stated last night
that he advocated keeping the stores
closed the day following Christmas,
and that he thought many others
would take similar view, as the EN-.
ployes will thereby be given little
rest and recreation.
1t is expected that many stores will
fall in line and be closed.
