Iaryland's Blue Laws,

The complete closure of all Sunday
amusement places in Maryland, under
the old blue laws which were incorporated
into the state constitution from the Eng
lish system, is much TO be preferred, as
matter of fact, to the violation of
those laws by general consent. II Mary
land wants a rigid Sunday closing law it
has but to enforce that which has been
on the statute books for generations. On
the other hand, if it does not desire such
q law 1t has its recourse to the state
legislature and the popular vote to re-
peal the fundamental restrictions upon
individual liberty.
The repeal Of a statute by non-enforce-
ment Is never safe. 1t always leads to
corruption of greater or less degree. New
York has had many experiences Of this
kind and was given an effective demon
stration by Theodore Roosevelt when
commissioner Of police of the danger of
continuing TO permit violations of specific
laws on the plea OF complacent public
sentiment. 1t Is significant that the
laws which he then enforced. against a
great husabaloo of protest, have never
ceen repealed. The truth is that there
has not been sufficient public demand
for their repeal.
1t may be that the enforcement of the
blue laws in Maryland will create pub
lie sentiment for a change, and that out
Of the prosecutions and closures in the
counties will come an organized move
msnt to effect the modification of the
statutes. Meanwhile, 1t Is highly desira-
pie 10 ascertain whether law I'm Mary

Mr.. wakeman held that the pact was

Calling Out Reserves.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
There is no confirmation as yet of the
rumor current in Paris a day or two ago
that Germany had summoned 10000 re-
servists to join their regiments. AS this
Is an operation that cannot be carried on
in complete silence or complete secrecy
We may feel reasonably certain that the
rumor was the coinage Of some alarmist
of an ordinary newsmonger under the
necessity of sending something. The call
ing out Of the reserves for the whole
German active army would mean that at
least 10000 men would have to leave
their homes and ordinary peaceful voca-
tons and repair at once to their regi-
ments. Germany manages such things
as quietly. smoothly and systematically
as may be. but it is beyond Germany s
power to blind all the eyes that are
watching its military movements or to
deafen simultaneously all the ears that
have been bent to the ground to catch
the first sound OF the concentration OF
so great a force.

The Canadian Campaign.

their prejudices: and such play is now

A chance remark of Mr.. Clark in the
House last winter when the reciprocity
pact was under consideration suggested
this cry to the Canadian enemies of the
pact OF course Mr.. Clark had no thought.

favoring the pact he merely mentioned
that many Americans favored annexa-

procity and annexation, but only to She =
that so well conditioned was feeling in
this country toward Canada that an
effacement of all lines between the two
countries had it's advocates.
Nor was there anything new in the
declaration. Annexation is an old theme
on both sides of the fence. Canadians
as well as Americans have favored it.
But the matter has never gone beyond
discussion more or less idle, and it does
not enter at all into the new relations
or rather the resumption Of old rela-
tions-between Canada and America re-
speeding freer trade.
But Mr.. Clark's prominence and grow
ing influence in our politics CAV. Sir Will
frid Laurier's enemies a cue, and the
Clark boom for President increases the
value of what that cue has created.
Canadian voters are warned as though
Mr.. Clark were certain to lead his party
next year, to be elected. and then to busy
himself with the aid Of the great power
Of the presidency, toward bringing about
complete union between America and
Canada.
II is. of course. a mere bugaboo. Neither
OF our principal parties has the remotest
idea OF making annexation a feature Of
it, program next year. The question is
not active with us at all. Our hands
are full Of business which cannot be
postponed The trusts, the tariff. the
railroads, the currency are pressing. Be-

the flag is flying. Why talk about rails

that the occasion calls for?
Uncle Sam is not maneuvering through
this pact for political union with Can

he desires and has in mind. The future
will take care of itself. Both America
and Canada as governmental factors in
the worlds affairs are young Both are
growing fast AS they are neighbors,
they should be close friends. Mr.. Taft

important step toward strengthening tine

he was in practice. and even after only

his party in the Senate. His state and
the country at large were fortunate when
he consented to accept a senatorial COM
mission. That he will continue to grow
as a senatorial quantity is certain. and
that his party will need him is supported
by a mere glance at its present member
ship in the Senate. It's losses there IN
the past few years have been heavy.
Mr. Root is one Of the strongest men

thousands have fallen and now lie dead in

been frightful. but the valiant Fly Bri-
gade has brought up reinforcements ty

by walking across the ceiling. Not few
have fallen Into the ambushes set by

Fools and Murder Cases.

Every sensational murder case breeds
large crop of fools. Especially if a woman
is involved, there are always plenty OF
idiotic people pressing themselves for
ward for notoriety or anonymous asso-
citation with the tragedy. In the latest
Richmond crime there has been the usual
output of sensation-seeking cranks and
maudlin sympathizers, reaching climax
in the man who offers to sacrifice him.
self in the place Of the accused husband
for the sum of 5000. This man, how
ever, is no worse than the writer's Of
letters to the woman witness now held in
custody, offering themselves in marriage
to her.
The abnormality that leads people to-
accused Of participation in the most re-
voting crimes passes understanding.
There was. for instance, the case of Ethel
Leneve. the companion and possibly the
accomplish Of Crippen, who slew his wife
in London. No sooner had the pair been
captured on their flight to Canada than
the girl was besieged by matrimonial and
theatrical offers, some Of them in most
ailuring terms. People who had never
seen her wrote to her letters Of endear-
ment that they shouf0 nave Deen

ayers, her acceptance of which is neces-
sarily somewhat handicapped by the un-
certainty Of her future. Why any one
would want to see such a person in a
public performance is beyond normal COM
prehension. Yet the fact remains that
there is a tremendous, unwholesome. curl
osity to see such people.
The man who has offered to die as
substitute for Beattie may be genuinely
sincere. Human suffering unquestionably
at times reaches the point where such
desperation results. There must be

for man in a normal condition of mind

There is rather more likelihood in the

to attract attention to his needy condition
by playing on public sympathies in this
sensational mannet.
