ina ain,rable relations which have 80
N. exist ed between the white MAJ aid
the lack man, will end, and a feeling
Of intense bitterness will take its pi zee.
Il can see many symptoms of this now.
For the last ten years in Maryland
those partisans who have controlled the
negro vote have preached to him, in
season and out, that the Democratic
party not only wanted to disfranchise
him, but really wanted to bring him
back to the old days of slavery. This
last statement is, of course, as false as
any that human tongue can utter, but 1t
has had its effect upon the negro never
theless.
The negro Isl n Southern Maryland,
and he Is going to remain there until
other men come and take mis- place. In
my judgment, other men will not seek
his place when they realize that any
body of men have been given the power
to trife with the ballot. Men will not
go to a section where laws are not equal
or where trickery is recognized as legal.
They will be afraid of losing their own
right of franchise.
I'VE must find different solution
Any amendment of the Constitution of
the United States. or of the State, which
could remove this element of trickery
or inequality from our laws, and re-
move the negro from politics, would
have my entire suppo1.. But, even as it
is, am not afraid of negro domination
nor am l afraid of the negro voter.
The men | hate and fear are the
politicians who use the negroes as trad
ing pawns in their political game, or
the unwise or dishonest or selfish leaders
who dominate the negro. The Republi-
it can get, but the white leaders of that
party owe it to the State and to their
own sense of patriotic .decency to not to
slaughter any section of the State to
please their negro constituency. They
injure the negroes by injuring the whites
just as the whites injure themselves
by injuring the negroes.
Il know Governor Goldsborough,
| and know that he understands the ne
gro problem as well as any man in this
State, and that he realizes what it
| means to the people of Southern Mary
land not to play niger politics. And
| know he will not do it. He has no
| more use for the white traffickers in
black votes than I have. The objection
OF the Democracy of this State to ne
groes voting at all is not so much that
| they vote for Republicans as ivr IT,.
Kind of Republicans they vote for or
who control them.
When the white people really wake
up to this and to the real conditions in
Southern Maryland, one of two things
VIII happen-either the Republicans will
suppress the negro or the Democracy
Will suppress the Republicans. The Will
son Ballot Law now confuses the issue;
1t raises false issue, and an issue on
which the Democratic party is in wrong
| That is another reason, as a Democrat,
why am against it. Not only is it
bad morals, and bad for my country
but 1t is also bad politics."

WORTH MORE IN MISSOURI


The average Missouri mule is
worth a few dollars more than the
Maryland beast. The price set
for the Missouri mule by Mr.. Du-
rand is $I4I.89. Virginia and most
of the sister States can afford to
boast of more mules than Mary
land, but the value of the Mary
lad animal is greater than that in
most Of these other States.
Likewise. while there are fewer
horses in this State than in many
others, the average value OF the
Maryland horse is greater than
that OF the Texas horse and ami
mas OF this species in other States.
Tie average Maryland horse is
worth $II5.72, or less than the
Maryland mule, while the Texas
horse is worth $77.oG, and in that
State there are I,I57,749 horses.

A full valuation o: Maryland

Virginia is richer in this respect,
having $42,53S,I79 in horses and
mules. In Kentucky, the home OF
the thoroughbred, there are 442,-

average horse there is worth less
than the average Maryland horse

The three-quarter silk sacque illustrated
Is an excellent suggestion along this line
This pretty sacque, though made Of thin
pink silk, is washable and, being made
without a lining, it is cool and light as
well. While not as long as a trailing
neglige, it comes well over the petticoat
and is bit more formal than an abbre-
Waited dressing sacque.
1t would be hard to imagine a more

New Tailored NeckWear.

T'HE regulation four-in-hand tie In all
the new colors of silk and other ma
terials Is worn with the linen collar. and
strictly tailored shirt waist These ties
are also tied with loose knot caught by
colored silk ring. Color is used to quite
an extent in tailored neckwear in va
rious touches. either in the trimming or
in the material. Then there are many
pretty novelties in bow form.
Silk and satin bows in combination with
white lace are popular. Black satin and
white lace or satin Of color and lace are
in many attractive forms. Novelties in
the form of flowers and fruit are worn
at the base of the high collar to give an
effective touch Of color. Black velvet is
the favored foundation for these little
novelties, and the flowers or fruit of rib
bon are attached to it or are arranged in
dangling form, with stems or ribbon in
green. Pansies, sweet peas and roses
and buds are the favored flowers, while
cherries in deep red or pink are ar
ranged in clusters at the base of the linen
collar. Butterfly bows of plaid silk, with
three loops on either side. are pretty.
There are jabots in striped Or plain
black satin in. original designs. Fancy
stocks with long bows Or stole ends of
similar material are adorned with loops
and ends Of real Irish, cluny or hand
embroidered tie ends. Embroidered and
lace corners and motifs in various shapes
are applied to the bows or stole ends in
innumerable effective ways. Regular
medium sized roses of colored satin or
ribbon are being worn as ties with fancy
stocks, with or without the addition of a
jabot. There are dainty little tailored
bows with rather long ends, developed in
black and white striped satin with a
touch of coral or turquoise silk.
Tailored stocks and jabots are made
from both white and colored handker
chiefs pretty jabot is made from two
small handkerchiefs, to be worn with
colored collar or a collar with touch
of color matching the jabot. Cut off
small corner from each handkerchief to
make a tiny bow at the top. Use the
chiefs to form ends of the jabot.

All lingerie now is built on the sim
plest lines, SO that the narrow lines Of
the frock may not be interfered with, and
many dressmakers advise corsets that
lace in front because Of the narrowness
and plainness Of skirts at the back. Many
women, however, dislike the front lacing
corset, and, indeed, a large proportion of
the new corset models are made with the
lacing at the back. New corsets are very
low at the top, to give a low-busted fig
ure. but at the lower edge the material
is built down to keep the hips in subjec-
ton. A photograph shows the latest
French corset which confines the hips
and gives the rather large, flat-waisted
effect which is known now as the nat
ural figure" There seems to be q mania
just now for large waists, and 1t cannot

An Attractive Sailor Suit.

suit is real jumper arranged
so that it can be slipped over
the head. the opening being formed
some five inches below the neck in

material is slit down, fastened with
hooks and eyes or else covered with a
short strap stitched down and provided
with shirt buttons. At the back there Is

fullness arranged In gathers all round

has short placket at the left front.
This suit is pretty In linen or easement
cloth for ordinary seaside wear. Case
ment cloth has much to recommend 1t. IL
does not stretch in wear or fade with the
sun and has not the rushableness OF
linen. and 1t is not expensive either. It's
colorings are delightful, all manner OF
artistic shades being reproduced. We are
getting quite familiar with the utilization
Of upholstery materials in the cause OF
dress.
When easement cloth or linen is chosen
for this suit the large collar and turn
back cuffs should be made Of polka dot
cambria. 1t would be pretty and practical
for boating or yachting wear when made
in the regulation blue serge. In that case
collar and cuffs should be Of dotted fou-
lard. rose-color spot on cream-color
ground being a charming combination
with blue serge. The sleeves should be
elbow length and the collar cut quite
low in front, finished with a windsor tie
either knotted or In bow form A wide
brimmed hat gracefully draped with the
dotted material Is a pretty finish to such
q costume.

in this form. but two or three little
touches must be added to make then
really dainty accessories. The top Of
the collar is rarely tall enough to be
smart and a half-inch fold of batiste
or satin will be a great improvement
as well as helping to keep the lace In
better shape Three collar braces must
be put in, one at the back and one,
slightly slanted. at either side OF the
front. 1t is best, Also to haste the
yoke on a thin lawn guimpe which
comes just below the bustline and
keeps the yoke and collar in smooth
position.
The Irish lace collar is a beautiful
specimen and is in the new style In

collar like this will add elegance
and distinction to the simplest little

lace collar may be laundered in ones

essary Is to soap the collar we'll and

hot water. 1t may then be washed
between the hands and rinsed in sew

WHEN THE SWEATER
NEEDS A TUBING

A BOUT this time the snowy white
sweater purchased at the beginning
Of the summer is beginning to look bit
grimy and gray. 1t is much better to
wash a sweater two or three times during
a season than to allow 1t to become SO
soiled that strenuous rubbing will be
necessary to make 1t white again. Make
a strong suds Of pure white soap and
warm water, to which a little borax has
been added, and souse the sweater up and
down in this. Do not use washing Soda
as this turns the wool yellow. and do not
lift the sweater too high out of the wa
ter, the weight of which may drag the
garment out Of shape. The rinsing is
most important. Five rinsings In clear
water are none too many. Six or eight
will be better still. Do not attempt to
wiring or twist the garment Squeeze out
all the water you can: wrap the sweater
in a towel. place 1t on the floor and dance
up and down on 1t until the excess Of wa
ter is out Now spread 1t out flat on g
clean sheet in the sun and let it dry. It

If there is the slightest dampness. More
serviceable are collars and cuffs of all

charming sets of this sort may be fash
toned by hand at trif1ing expense. First
cut out a collar and cuff from plain mus
lin and see that the pattern is exactly
right; that the cuff is just wide enough
to be becoming and the collar fits around
the neck nicely and lies on the shoulders
without bullying or dragging anywhere.
When perfect patterns have been secured
cut collar and cuffs from the all-over en-
broidery or dotted swiss. or from sheer,
pintucked batiste or embroidered batiste
the latter is very dainty in creamy
or light ecru tone. A slightly gathered
frill of fine narrow val finishes the edge
and between this and the material may
go a strip of double edge embroidery or
of cluny insertion. 1t is wisest to shrink
and press the material before cutting out
collar and cuffs.
