The Governors Duty.

tuC 4VbCtHOt , butys
We do not believe that Gov
ernor Crothers is a whit better
man now than he was before
he was made Governor.
When he was nominated for
the exalted position of Govern
or, certain Baltimore papers
labeled him a ring politician"
One did all it could to prevent
his nomination, but finally ac-
guessed after it had exhausted
itself in favor of another candi-
date. Not so, Grassy He
fought Governor Crothers to the
last ditch, and he fought the
Democratic party. Now the
Baltimore editors are very much
interested in Governor Croth-
ers. They are afraid he will in
jure himself before the people,
and they are so very, very
anxious for the success of the
Democratic party that they
want him to name Republicans
on the Public Service Commits
sion, and to veto the Digges law.
Is Governor Crothers going to
listen to these papers, or is he
going to listen to the people
who made him Governor
We started out by saying that
Governor Crothers is no better
man than he was when the DEM
ocratic party nominated and
elected him Governor. He was
a good man, he was a straight,
partisan Democrat, or he never
would have been nominated.
He has made a good Governor,
despite the predictions and in
situations of the DEF0RMED
League, and is the same Austin
l.. Crothers we fought for.
Remember, Governor, that
there are just as good men who
take an interest in politics, who
will make you good officials for
the Public Service Commission
as you can find outside the
party, and when you appoint
party men you show that you
do not intend to be controlled
by Grasty and Munsey and that
you consider it no disgrace to
be a Democrat, who works for
the success of his party. You
know that the best interest of
Maryland is to perpetuate the
rule of the Democratic party,
and you know that your Balti-
more newspaper advisers don't
care for the success of the De-
mocracy. Your duty is plain.
Select good men. But put none
but Democrats on guard.
Sign the Digges law You
will notice that the plain people
are not protesting against it.
1t is only those who are afraid
Of being shorn of some of their
power to injure the Democratic |
party who oppose it.

Work OF the Legislature.

several days of very strenuous
work, and after having passed
more important legislation than
any Legislature has done in
many years. 1t has given the
State "A public Utilities Law that
viii. govern corporations. I'm
der this law the people will not
be compelled to take whatever
the railroads and steamboat
lines give them in the way of
rates and accommodations, but
the State Commission will have
the power TO compel these cor
porations to do right by the
people. This is good.
The Statewide Primary Elec-
tion Law desired by Baltimore
City, and which would have
placed in her hands absolute
power to rule the State. nomi-
nate all State officials and tax
us as they saw fit, was knocked
out of the arena and the Lee
Primary Election Law was
passed instead. 1t is a good
law. Several counties were ex-
empted, among the number be-
ing Worcester, Wicomico and
Somerset, but the matter of
adopting it has been referred to
the people of these counties, who
will vote on the proposition. If
they want the law they can
have it.
A Pure Food Law, which is
declared to be the best ever
passed in this country, was made
by this Legislature. 1t will no
doubt prevent Maryland from
hereafter being the dumping
ground for all kinds of doctored
canned goods. This is good.
A law has been passed pro-
viding for the proper care of
the insane of the State. many
of whom are now in the county
almshouses.
A law has been passed which
prohibits the questioning of
candidates for office as to what
attitude they will assume to-
ward proposed Legislation.
The Digges DISTINGUISHING
law shows that the Democratic
party is honestly in favor of
DISTINGUISHING the negro, and
those who framed the law be-
lieve the Digges law will ac-
complish what the party has
been striving for. Elsewhere
in this paper the workings of
the Digges law is fully explain
ed.
Governor Crothers is very
much pleased with the work of
the Legislature. He says the
session winds up with the Dem
ocratic part united and harmo-
Mus and in a good position be-
fore the people. And this is
good.
Throughout the session one
of the Baltimore newspapers
took unfair advantage of MEM
bers of the Legislature who did
not favor some of its pet meas
ures, and it stopped to things |
which an honorable newspaper
would spurn. 1t intimated that
the men who did not favor
what it advocated were dishon-
est and in many ways tried to
bully-rag them into voting the
way the newspaper wanted.
This paper grossly abused the
public confidence by coloring
the days news to suit its policy
rather than deal honestly and
fairly. 1t seemed to have no
regard for the reputation of an
man, and held up to
public scorn members of the
who are honest and
truthful and are appreciated by
the constituency they represen-
ted. 1t is indeed a sad state of
affairs when newspaper de-
sends to such contemplate

THOUGHT Of DEATH

Daisy Kempton's Eccentric
Mind Made Fatal Pneu-

New York, Dec. 30-Death by
auto-sugg estion, in much the same
manner that Mark Twain made ia
nous in serious description of the
curious malady of morbid imagining
found commonly in the Hawaiian
islands, is reported from the Kings
county hospital, Brooklyn, in the
case of Daisy Kempton, 55 years old.
The woman had snow-white hair,
vigorous body, and was healthful
in appearance. She had no known
ailment, although she had been an
inmate of the hospital for two and
half years. She entered the hos
pital complaining of severe chronic
forms of illness. Yet the doctors
who examined her found her to be
perfectly sound. She persisted in de-
claring she suffered from ailments,
and came to be an expert in definite
symptoms. Specialists examined her
several times because of the accur-
ate descriptions of symptoms of diff
ferent diseases she gave out, but al
ways with the result, they reported,
that Daisy's troubles were 'all in her
eye"
She caught a slight cold Sunday,
her first illness in the hospital. She
brooded over it, magnified it into the
belief she was dying of pneumonia.
And, to the amazement of the doc
tors and nurses, her pulse and
breathing began to be labored, and
three days later she breathed her
last. The hospital staff asserts posi-
lively her death was due entirely to
the mental suggestion she gave her.
self that she was fatally i'll.

IMMIGRANTS.

In his annual report Secretary Ma
gel of the department of commerce
and labor calls attention to some in
congruities in the national immigra-
ton laws. Yes, some of these in
justices amount to monstrous in
humanity.
For instance, he admits that very
often husbands are admitted to this
country while their families who fol-
low later on, are turned back because
they cannot meet the requirements
of the immigration laws. Where
these laws. pertain to health, it is
obviously better that the country
should not assume the burden of ac-
cepting them. Where they are
strong and capable of adapting them
selves to this country's society and
laws, it would seem to be better to
keep the family together.
Americans are a queer mixture.
There are few, if any, of the people
living today who can trace their an
cestry on both sides back to the orig
inal people who first peopled the
thirteen colonies. Even the thirteen
colonies themselves were not pure.
Each colony was made up of diff
ferent race. These races intermin-
gled and then the result of this
intermingling was further complicat-
ed by the entrance of other races,
until today we are simply members
of new race, the resultant from a
mixture of all of the white races.
The greatest phenomenon of re-
cent ages is the absorption of this
constant tide of immigration which
has been pouring in on us for the
past one hundred years. OF recent
years the number has topped the
million mark annually. But the old
race traits are soon blotted out and
the second generation of people who
issue from the fathers and mothers
who came to this country in the
steerage, cannot be distinguished.
They are Americans, and proud to
claim this land as their home. There
is no finer race trait than this

car systems, water, gas, electric light
and power plants, irrigation projects
and steamboats, will come under the
jurisdiction of the state railroad
commission if bill now being draft
ed passes the next legislature.
Would Abolish Passes.
Once it becomes a law all passes
on street cars and steamboats, will
be abolished, as have the passes on
railroads and franks on telegraph
and telephone companies, except in
the case of employees, for the bill
contains the same clause that is en-
bodied in the railroad commission
act.
Not only are privately owned pub
lie service corporations to come un-
der the jurisdiction of the railroad
commission, but the same body will
have supervision over the municipal
pubic service plants OF all kinds.
Amendment Facilitated.
If the legislature desires to omit
any one clause of corporations it can
be done by striking the words out of
a single section, for the bill is being
drawn with the end in view of per-
hitting easy amendment.
Although the railroad commission
is not actively advocating the pass
age of such a bill, the members want
the matter presented in such shape
that it can be handled without con-
fusion in the event that the legisla-
fure cares to enact it into law.

FUTURE OF THE PACIFIC COAST

Our Pacific coast states are very
naturally jubilant over their recent
growth in population. says the
Springeld (Mass.) Republican. Not
very long ago they seemed discour-
particularly California. These
states had immense territories and
large resources. But what they
needed was people. They are now
getting people-and people of the
right sort. Even Nevada has gained
90 per cent since 1900, and in the
preceding decade that state had &C
tually shriveled up in the number
of its inhabitants. California shows
a gain of so per cent and Oregon
of 81 per cent. AS the Republican
has already said. Washington
growth is the marvel of the census
returns, being no less than 40 per
cent. Doubtless British Columbia
has had a similar development, for
Canada's Pacific coast province is
increasing rapidly in commerci.l and
political importance. This entire
coast is on the go.
1t is a cause for congratuiatioI
that this increase of population is
not in the least due to Oriental im-
migration, for a demonstration that
the white race is carablc of fully
populating the Pacific coast states
must be reassuring to the states
themselves and to the rest ne the
country. The fear was felt not long
ago that California especially would
be crippled very seriously in its de-
velopment because white immigra-
ton seemed to be coming to a stop,
while the Orientals, who were so
we'll adapted to do the rougher work
of economic exploitation, had been
shut out by federal laws. After the
Russo-Japanese war. when the Jap
anese coolies suddenly began to come
in, it was maintained by some that
Lob
and that their exclusion would be a
blow to the Pacific coast common
wealths. Doubtless they were need
ed in many ways. Yet the exclusion
bars were quickly put up against the
Japanese also, and still the state of
California has gained nearly 900,-
600 inhabitants, while the increase
in the three states fronting the ocean
has been in the vicinity of 100000.
These newcomers are white people
almost exclusively, and, consequent
ly, we should hear less hereafter of
the danger of Orientalizing our far
western commonwealth.
The more white folks out there
the better, of course, since the Pa
cific coast states face the Oriental
peoples of the far east; and they
are peoples who are rapidly assert

tions of the world. America needs

IOWA'S FAMOUS COLLECTION OF
AUTOGRAPHS.

The state of Iowa has a collection
OF autographs worth many thousands
of dollars. 1t is priceless, in fact. 1t
belongs to the state historical de-

of autographs. Everyone knows that
it is highly valuable. Mr. Aldrich
himself did not know why. The His
torical Quarterly Magazine. published
by Iowa gives his history OF the col
lection from the beginning until he
had collected letters and manuscripts
