ELECTION LAW OF 1908 VOID.
JUDGE MORRIS DECLARES THE GRAND
FATHER CLAUSE is INVALID.
In Conflict With The Fifteenth Observation-Disclosures Or
Educational Tests Which DsrancliSe Without
Discriminating Not Forbidden.
DECISION UpHOLDs RIGHTS OF NEGROES TO VOTE

visions except the one which discrim-
mates, and the plaintiffs allege that
but for that discriminating clause
they would have been entitled to reg
lister"
Then Judge Morris rules against
the contention that the declarations
should allege that the registers acted
wilfully, maliciously. fraudulently
or corruptly in order to render them
legally liable in the suits. If this
contention could be upheld, the opin-
ion states, the defendant could always
make such a plea. The opinion
goes on:
The common sense of the situa-
tion would seem to be that the law
forbidding the deprivation or abridg-
ment of the right to vote on account
of race on color being the supreme
law, any State law commando z such
deprivation or abridgment is nuga-
tory and not to be obeyed by anyone
And anyone who does enforce ii does
so at his known peril and is made
liable to an action for damages by
the simple act of enforcing a void
law to the injury to the plaintiff in
the suit, and no allegation of malice
need be alleged or proved" F."
An appeal to the Supreme Court of
the United States will probably be
taken from the decision of Judge
Morris. That this would be done in
the event of an adverse decision to
the registers was stated when the
case was argued recently. The argu-
ment was made by Messrs. William
L. Marbury, William L. Rawls and
Ridgely p. Melvin, of Annapolis, for
the registers, and former Attorney
General Chs3les =. Eoneparte and
Mr.. Edgar II. Cans for the negroes.
If the decision is upheld, the suits
will come up for trial on their merits.
The amendment passed by the last
Legislature was part Of the Digges
bill. The Governor vetoed the bill,
but signed the Digges amendment.
By Judge Morris decision several
local charters containing the
grandfather clause" are affected
and Annapolis and it's citizens to-
day are wondering if any act done
by the Mayor and City Council since
the passage OF the bill, which is now
declared null and void, is legal.
This is a question that remains to
be settled,

THE COMPLETE PROGRAM
Should Call Forth Large And Appreciatiye
Audiences Tomorrow Al ST. John
Gymnasium

The program for the Annapolis
Convention Of the Laymen's Mission
4ry Movement, as arranged by the
committee, should call forth a large
and appreciative audience. There
have been over two hundred supper
tickets sold, which shows that there
are some men either interested in
missions, or ready to be shown that
missions are worth while.
Men who have not been able to
arrange to be present at the opening
supper should by all means make an
effort to be present at the meeting
ON Sunday evening at 8 o'clock.
These Sunday meetings are open to
The public. The registration fee of
80 cents charged is simply to meet
expenses Of holding the convention,
and there ought to be a Willingness
OH the part of many to register as
delegates, if for no other reason than
TO help such a worthy cause.
What the movement is not
! Ii is not a new missionary board
10 collect funds or to administer
them; il is not to raise up or to send
out missionaries; it is not TO work
among young people, students or wo-
men; but its work is to be chiefly
among the mature men of the church,
and out of the church.
2. 1t is not an INSTRUMENTATION
movement which proposes to do its
work outside of regular denomina
tional lines or to make new mission
airy brotherhood independent of those
already established.
What it is
1t is "A missionary movement. 1t
has great ideal, namely, to reach
the whole world in this generation.
Ii recognizes the fact that the church
has been in the retail business"
long enough. 1t is challenge for
something larger and more far-reach-
ing
Its broad craftsmanship will appeal
to men. Its purpose is to do the
largest thing of which anyone has
any conception to devise a compre.
hensive plan I'm conjunction with
said board secretaries) looking to-
ward the eyangelization of the world
in this generation. 1t is to ask the
men Of this generation not to pass
their own work to future generations.

Mir. Taft as a Eiahter.

Those insurgents who nurse the de- fusion in their rather immature politi- cal bosoms that President Taft is the kind of man who can be bluffed in the game of politics are apt to re- ceive a rude shock when MT. Taft re- turns to Washington from his present swing through the middle west. MT. Taft is a peace-1oving man, as was proved by his quiet diplomatic move in the Philippines, well as by his letter-hitherto unpublished-last Sep tember, urging an arnica'ble settlement of the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy. But it is a notable fact that he. left Rome after his little conference with the pope with all the honorS of war, although the pope and the friars were fully satisfied with the arrangements he had suggested, and it is also to be noted that he wears MT. Pinchot's s scalp at his belt.
 In his tour of the country last fall he threw down the gauntlet to the in- surgent senators of Minnesota Iowa and other states in their own battle grounds on the A1drich-Payne tariff act. The same sturdy quality of his closing hours of the conference on the tariff bill At the outset he had re- mained quiescent in his summer home by the sea, acting on the theory that it was the duty of a president to rec ommend legislation and of the mem bers of the senate and house to en- act it. But when the prospects of full filling the republican national plat form pledges regarding the tariff be- gan to grow faint he went to Wash ington and threw the weight of his

CONGRESS MONDAY.
Administration Railroad Bill-Amend- ments Defeated-lnauguratio Day Date Unchanged.

Washington May 16.-The feature of the consideration of the adninis- tration railroad bill in the senate was the vote taken on an amendment by Senator Cunmins to strike out the sections of the bill to provide for the establishment of commerce court. This was defeated 2S to 37. The af- flrmative vote was cast chiefly by democrats and "insurgent" republi- cans.
 A number of other amendments were offered to the sections. but all of them were defeated. Notice of other amend ments was given and they will be con sidered when the senate convenes to- morrow.
 This being unanimous consent and suspension day in the house a largt number of bills were passed. Among the more important ones was a sem ate bill providing for a system of par ole for United States prisoners sen fenced for more than one year who have served at least one third of their terms.
 A resolution introduced by MT. Hen ry of Texas, to change the date of the inauguration of the president and vice president from March until the last Thursday in April. was defeated. Only one vote was lacking of the two- thirds of the house necessary to pro- vide for the submission of consti- tutional amendment for that purpose to the several states of the union.
 The house will meet tomorrow.
