ROYAL COUPLE REACH DEHLI.
King and Queen Welcomed by Pic
turesque Throng Of Indian Subjects.


Delhi, India.-The roar of an i'm.
perial salute of 1O1 guns welcomed
the king-emperor and the queen-em-
press on their arrival here Thursday
from Bombay. The railroad station
in the Selingarh bastion of the fort
had been the mecca since dawn for
everybody in the city and the coro-
nation camp.
The King-emperor and the queen
empress were received ON the elab.
orately decorated platform by the
viceroy, the governors and heads OF
provinces, the commander-in-chief
and number of high military and
civil officials.
After series of presentations
their majesties proceeded to a pa
vilion within a wall of the fort where
$50 ruling chiefs were introduced.
This ceremony occupied considerable
time.
Then began the great procession to
the camp four miles away. Through
out India holiday had been decreed,
and great numbers or natives had
gathered to get a glimpse of their
emperor and empress. They formed
striking background to the gor-
geously uniformed procession, which
was headed by lancers and military
bands.
Their majesties entered the city
through the kings gate, now opened
for the first time since 1857, when the
king of Delhi went to public worship.
All along the route the reception was

CONGRESS BEGINS

Precisely as on every opening Mon
day of December for just 123 years
past, Congress at noon Monday con-
vened in regular session.
Sharp on the stroke of noon, Vice.
President Sherman and Speaker Clark
raped Senate and House to order and
the members to their feet to listen to
the invocation.
1t was rather mild occasion. Con-
gress got away from Washington three
months ago, after gruelling exper-
ience, with blistering weather and the
passage of purposeless tariff bills for
politics-and the veto ak. The vaca-
ton has been brief and busy for the
members and they did not come back
full of enthusiasm to the prospect OF
another long and wearing session.
Not in many years has the bulk of
membership arrived so late for the
opening. The midday trians brought
in scores of members, who had not
been able, or enough concerned, to get
there an hour earlier than absolutely
necessary. Listlessness and feeling
of resignation to the inevitable siege
characterized the Congressional state
of mind. Not until Representative
Littleton got well along in his speech,
full of vitriolic invective against the
Antitrust League, its secretary,
William J. Bryan and other persons
and things, an oratorical effort, pro-
voked by charges that he was con-
spring to throttle the Steel Trust in
vestigation, was there a sign of
animation in either house. The New
Workers. fierce denunciation, however,
caused stir. For time the republi-
can side of the House contributed ap
plause and appreciative laughter that
was in part intended to irritate the
majority, but at the conclusion of Mr..
Littleton's speech he was generously
applauded by both sides.
The listlessness, apart from the
Littleton incident, is perhaps merely on
the surface, for predictions are not
wanting that the initial regular session
of the Sixty-second Congress will bring
excitement enough.
''The most important session since
the Civil War;" was the prediction
made by many Democratic leaders.
Stirring days ahead" are forecast
by Republican members and on both
sides of the big party line members in
the House and Senate are drawn up to
fight out weighty problems of legisla-
ton in a session that will lead up to
the Presidential campaign of 1912.
Of Importance as to the bearing it
will have on the approaching political
contest in the nation; of particular
interest because of party difference
Regulars and Insurgents on the Pro-
gressives among the Democrats, and
of unusual significance because of the
heavy legislative program, it is at least
certain that this will be one of the
liveliest sessions of Congress in many
years.
Both Maryland Senators and the
full Congressional delegation were
present. Senator Smith has not yet
completed his program for the work of
the session, but is interested in the
prospect of the consideration of the
Sherman law, which some of the Demo-
Gratis hope to simplify or replace with a
better measure.
Senator Rayner seems to have re-
covered his health fully and says that
he expects an unusually busy session
for his committees.

Governor Wilson's speech at
the Fifth Regiment Armory,
Baltimore, Tuesday afternoon
was a thoughtful discussion of
the problems Of Southern de-
velopment and his hearers listen

Governor Wilson was intro
duced by Governor Crothers,

was heartily applauded.

Wilson said. Nov, | believe she

GOVERNOR 'CROTHER'S BROAD
AND PROGRESSIVE PROGRAM.

The administration of Gov.
Austin L. Crothers, which is
within one month of it's end, has
been fruitful of good works,
and now out of his experience
he makes excellent suggestions
which the State will do well to
heed. The Governor has an
earnest desire to free the election
Of all public officers from the
use and influence of money.
The theory of the law is that
every man should stand equal
and have an equal opportunity.
To employ the language of
Colonel Roosevelt, the door of
hope should not be closed in the
face of any man because he is
poor. But by tolerating the
use of money at an election upon
any pretense whatever the
equality of opportunity is de-
stroyed. The poor man has only
his vote and what personal in
fuence among his neighbors his
character may give him. The
rich man has all this plus the
influence that thousands Of
dollars employed in the campaign
may give him. 1t is apparent
that this is not equality before
the law, and the man who has a
fortune to put into the election
has an overwhelming advantage.
It is this that the Governor
wishes to do away with. By
absolutely prohibiting the use of
money contributed by individuals
for any purpose, not only would
all men be equal before the law,
but the parties would be equal.
Each one would have to depend
upon its merits and the merits of
its candidates and not upon it's
campaign fund.
The Governor says that he will
make many other recommenda-
tions, some of which, he in
dicates, il adopted by the Legis-
lature, will abolish useless of
fees and save money to the
State which may then be employ
ed in roadmaking or some pur-
pose useful to the whole people
rather than spent where itpro-
duces no public benefit.
Since the day of his election,
now more than four years ago,
Governor Crothers has given
himself up to the work of his
office. All his thoughts have
been about the welfare of the
State. He has used the oppor-
tunities which his work has given
him in planning for government.
All his instincts are shocked by
any waste or misapplication of
the public funds. He feels that
the money. raised by taxation,
wrung from the sweat and toll
of the people, should be honestly
applied so that those who pay it
will get the full value for what
they pay. The advice of this
conscientious and thoughtful man
may we'll make a deep impression
on the Democratic Assembly
and upon the Republican Cover
nor who will succeed him. -Balti-
