EXIT THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE

EAII M 6hAh DFaI Ola 81,
The Democrats of Maryland have
been preparing for several years for q
tilt with the Fifteenth Amendment to
the federal Constitution. They have
twice submitted to the voters franchise
amendments 10 the state constitution in
tended to exclude coIored persons from
the suffrage. The first of these was 50
drawn that Il would also have excluded
q certain class of naturalized citizens,
and IT was defeated by decisive ma
jOrity. The second appeared TO let in all
the naturalized whites and 1t was so in
terpreted by its advocates. But there
was some doubt as to the completeness
of the inclusion and the second draft
was also rejected. The last Legislature
prepared q third amendment, which con-
tains a grandfather clause applying TO
colored persons only. but ii was not TO
be submitted TO the people until 1911.
Meanwhile, the Legislature authorized
the experiment of setting up a grand
father clause qualification for voters in
municipal elections, passing a law In
1908 applying TO the city Of Annapolis.
That law has now been examined In
the federal district court for the Dis
trict of Maryland and the grandfather
clause section OF ii has been pronounced
unconstitutional.
The Maryland Democrats have been
riding for fall and the fail has now
come off according to schedule. The
decision of Judge Morris was sweeping.
He brushed aside all technicalities and
ruled that the Annapolis act, ike all the
other DISTINGUISHING devices, aimed at
the negro race as a race, when 1t laid
down the qualification that a voter to
be accepted by the registers Of cleo
ton must have had the right to vote
prior to January /, 1895 or must show
descent from 4 person having that right
Only white persons were permitted to
vote in Maryland before January /, 1868,
so that the restriction was necessarily
based on race and color. He also blunty
disposed Of the fantastic argument that
the guarantees of the Fifteenth Amend
ment to tho federal Constitution extend

No one will begrudge Grahame-White
the glory he won at Belmont Park yes
terday. The handsome way in which he
took defeat in the race from London to
Manchester few months ago betrayed
a particularly generous spirit. He repre-
sents the best type of sportsman. Be
sides, in word and act he is less reckless
than some other aviators who have done
brilliant things in the last year or two
LIE Blanc is entitled to some sympathy,
not because of his injuries, which were
slight, but because he apparently had
the fastest machine and might have car
ried off the Bennett cup but for his &C
cident Yet his experience emphasizes
afresh the peril of high speed. When a
railway train runs at the rate Of seventy
miles an hour there is practically no
chance that II will hit telegraph pole.
1t is unnecessary for the engineer to
look out for such a danger. Even in
clear weather, though, the pilot of an
airship travelling as fast as LIE Blancs
did when 1t was doing it's best must have
difficulty in seeing such obstacles quickly
enough to avoid them. No rigid rail
keeps the aviator to his track.

where curbs or cutters are constructed,
md between lines one foot back of
curb lines where there are no curbs,

After the roadway has been prepared
as above described apply sufficient

SPECIFICATIONS FOR
CONSTRUCTING OIL ROADS

The following letter from Mr..
Sutherland fulton, who is Secre-
tary for we'll known contract
ing firm OF Los Angeles, who
have made a speciality of build
ing oiled roads is self explana-
tory. Mr.. Hutton has kindly
furnished the Winslow Mail a
copy Of the specifications required
for oiled road building in South
rrn California and these specltl-
cations are given in full in this
article for the benefit OF our
readers that they made be able
to intelligently discuss the mat
ter of oiling the streets Of Wins
low.
The letter and specifications
follow:
Editor of The Mail
Winslow, Arizona.
Dear Sir
At the request of Mr..
Wigglns, Secretary of the Los
Angeles Chamber OF Commerce,
| enclose specifications for build
ing an oiled road, with road oil
and tamping machine.
The specification is the same
we used in building the Hunting
ton Drive, between Pasadena
and Los Angeles cities, which
has withstood the heaviest gen
eral traffic of any road on the
Pacific coast. 1t is probably the
cheapest efficient road that can
he built, where the traffic is that
of an ordinary country road.
Free from dust in the summer
and mud in the rainy season. |
do not recommend it, however,
if the road is to be used contin-
uously for heavy ore wagons or
lumber freighters, as nothing but
an expensive oil McAdam Road
will withstand such wear
The gravel can be dispensed
with and in consequence much
cheapened il soil conditions are
suitable. We have built efficient
roads, now in use four years,
that are practically perfect, di-
rectly from the soil from the
roadway.
Trusting that this information
will be of use,
| remain,
Yours truly
