MARYLAND LOSES LAND.

AS result Of the decision just reached
by the commission appointed by the Su-
preme Court Of the United States to settle
an old controversy over a boundary line,
several thousand persons who thought they
were residents Of Maryland are declared to
be living in West Virginia, and thirty-six
square miles Of valuable land also accrue
TO West Virginia.
The report is now before the Supreme
Court for final action, which is expected
at an early date. Samuel S. Gannett, of
the United States Geological Survey, who
was appointed arbitrator commissioner by
the court, and Julius X. Monroe, the West
Virginia member. concurred in the report
but W. McCulloch Brown, the Maryland
commissioner, has filed a minority opinion,
backed up by vigorous protests Of many
persons who have been voting and paying
taxes as citizens of Maryland for num-
Der of years.
The controversy has been raging in one
form or another since the original grants
to Maryland and Virginia in 1868. and the
entire question hinged on the three Latin
words lad priman fontem." which mean
1.-THE first waters" Early descriptions Of
the boundaries of Virginia and Maryland set
forth that the Potomac river from its head
waters to its mouth should mark the south
western boundary of Maryland. The Po-
tomac river branches near its source, and
there arises the dispute, Maryland con-
tending that long. narrow stream running
into land claimed by West Virginia is the
boundary line, and West Virginia main
tanning short. broad stream is the first
waters" of the Potomac.

A Serious Question.

To the Editor I'm the campaign just
closed we were frequently told by Demo-
cratic speakers that Republican victory
meant negro domination for the Southern
counties of the State: the endangering of
our wives and daughters and an increase
in negro crime generally. such as was wit
messed under the Lowndes' rule some years
since. All of this. and more. is most en-
phatically true, and every white man
should carefully avoid doing anything that
may augment the strength of the party
that seems determined to bring actual
danger to our very doors.
But what are we to think d, those Demo
Gratis who voice for measure that the
Republicans hold dear as the applesDf their
eye for the advancement Of negro suffrage
and negro Office holding? 1t ought to be
impossible for any Democrat to think Of
such thing; but so it is that here and
there we find both ordinary Democrats and
Democratic Officeholders who are unable to
recognize the true relationship of things
and who play, to the forces that make
for negro domination.
One Of the speakers who dwelt most
forcibly on the negro in the campaign was
State Senator-elect Edwin M. Hammond, of
Ellicott City. cheered him while pitied
him. He was Delegate at the 1910 Leg
islature and worked hand in hand with the
Republicans for the passage Of compulsory
education law for the whole State. The
law would have embraced blacks as well
as whites, and forcibly prepared every
negro boy to become proficient voter, and
possibly petty political trimmer and
Office seeker. In the election of Mr.. Colds
borough, the Democrats of the Hammond
type should see warning.
Former Democratic Delegate W. Mitchell
Dieges. Of La Plata. father Of the Digges
Amendment, is another Democrat who has
warned against the dangers Of the negro.
Nearly column dispatch appeared from
him on the first page of the Baltimore Sun
the day before the election. But can he
say that his skirts are clear of aiding in
bringing negro domination The club wo-
men, socialists and Republicans now have
a bill ready to introduce at the next Leg
islature that will include among other
things the compulsory education of every
negro boy until 16, and even longer If
fractions" have not been learned. But
enough, let word to the wise be sufficient.

DEFEAT OF THE AMENDMENTS

The Constitutional Amendments sub
mitted to the voters of this State at the
late election for adoption or rejection were
defeated by large majorities. The one
proposing an increase of Baltimore city's
representation in the Legislature lost 49,
900 votes in the city itself. Nevertheless.
the city gave a majority Of 10000 for the
increase. But the counties polled a ma
jority Of $4,000 and secured the defeat of
the amendment.
Every county in the State, except Som
erset alone. rejected the amendment, the
heaviest majorities coming from the big
Republican counties Of Allegany. Wash
ington and Frederick, the adverse majority
in the last being over 1000 in vote Of
5000. Somerset was the only county
which gave a majority for the amend
ment, and that was only 800
1t is apparent that there was no division
along party lines in this vote. Both parties
in the counties voted against the increase,
and the reason they did so was the same
reason that 10000 voters in Baltimore city
opposed the increase namely, because
they objected to any increase in the power
of the present Democratic and Republican
city organizations in the Legislature. They
think these organizations have enough
votes now, and the general opinion ex-
pressed in the counties was that Baltimore
would better increase the quality of its
representation before it asks for an in
crease in numbers. a 4.@J
The amendment intended to disfranchise
non-taxpaying negroes was foredoomed to
defeat. II was outlawed from the begin
ming and was submitted to the voters as
a necessary form. No one said word for
it, and little account was taken Of It. And
yet it received 1884 votes-one-t third of
the whole number polled. OF these more
than half were cast in Baltimore city. One
county only voted for its ratification and
that was Somerset, the population Of which
is more than one-third negro
