THE WORK OF THE LEGEsLATURE.

IHh WORh or THE LEGISLATURE.
The work of the General Assembly of
l5lO bids fair to mark an epoch in the his
tory of the State of Maryland, the outlook
Tor whose civic development along health
ful and progressive lines has not been as
bright since the Civil War.
Following in the wake of negro enfran-
chisement, came the political boss and the
participation in politics of public service
corporations, cooperating to corrupt the
electorate and to impose upon the people
unjust burdens and unfair determinations
Following closely upon the enactment of
the laws necessary to carry out the Digges
plan, came the Lee Statewide primary
election law. under the provisions of which
the people of Maryland are placed in con-
troll of the selection both of their party
committeeman and candidates for Office
the beginning of the end of the political
bosses. Then, like ray of sunshine. fol-
lowed the enactment of the public utilities
law. by means of which all public service
corporations of this State become amena-
bic to State commission whose power
and duty ii will be to inquire into the peril
nent facts and take such action as may be
found necessary to mete out justice as be-
tween these corporations and the people,
without fear or favor.
These three provisions alone are suffi-
Gent to fill the heart of every true Mary
lander with a spirit of thankfulness and to
inspire that confidence and resolution ne
cessary to press forward for the elimina-
ton of the negro, the bosses and the cor
porations as factors in our State politics.
But there is yet other progressive legis-
lation which has been enacted by the Leg |
islature of Maryland The pure food law
is expected to remove evils which threaten
the health of our people. The State bank |
inspection law makes the State banks sub
Ject to the same scrutiny in the interest of |
the public as that Of the national banks.
The provision for the insane will contribute
to the cause of humanity. The Lee State
road bills are expected to do way with the
cause of complaint against the Crosby sys-
TEN and enable the State Roads Commits
sion to break its long deadlock, and here
after. through the il uumentality of co.,
nonsense Marylarders carry for, .,o,d ,ha

RLAIR LEE STANDS 0nr

In many respects Senator Blair Lee. Of
Montgomery county, stands out as the
biggest man of the Legislature. A man Of
absolute integrity and real devotion to the
public interests, he, with few devoted
followers, held the balance Of power in the
Senate and he made excellent use Of H.
When he was lined up with the Governor,
the Governor won. When he was lined up
with German, German won. Lee won all
the time II was his primary election law
that finally got through. II was his State
roads proposition that was adopted, he
forced the income tax resolution through
the Senate aeains, the active opposition Of
German, and in larger measure than is
supposed he was responsible for the adop-
