A bill introduced By Mr.. Posey In
the Legislature ard which he will
press to its passage, prohibiting GER
tain charges in the State Tobacco
Warehouses deserves mole than
passing notice. At the present time,
under existing law, the Inspectors
charge to the farmer shipper all ex-
penses for reinspecting and rehand-
ling tobacco if such a necessity is
found to exist. That cost is con-
siderable item which the owner
should not be compelled TO pay aud
to remedy that Mr.. PoseJ's bill has
been introduced The State To-
bacco Warehouses are and have long
been on a paying basis and each one
of them has a sufficient force b. do
this, at times, necessary work, and
there is no excuse for, or reason why,
the owner should be compelled to pay
for this reinspection. Mr.. posey is
ever alert in the interest Of the peo-
pie Of the county and this latest move
in their behalf deserves and will re-
ceive the commentator Of all.

STILL AFTER THE FLESH POTS.

When that band Of leading Dem
ocrats, led by Blair Lee, met in
Washington city and attempted to
formulate a scheme by which the
newly elected governor Of the State
was to be deprived of bis power to
make appointments, we're shown up
and denounced by the fair men of
Maryland regardless Of party, this
hungry horde Of office seekers, who
wanted to get in no matter to them
how, declared they had no such in
tention, that it was merely meeting
of Democrats, caucus, as it were,
held only for the purpose of advanc-
ing their party's interest Believing
that such was the case the matter
was dismissed from The minds of the
people. Now however it is becom-
ing more apparent each day that in
direct efforts are being made by that
self same crowd, Blair Lee as leader,
who, he hopes, will be the principal
beneficiary, TO do that self same thing
that that Washington crowd so bold
ly at first, started out to
do. For instance, the Democrats it
is alleged will closely scrutiuize all
nominations for School Commission
ers and to hold them up until action
in taken on the proposed bipartisan
bill now under consideration. Fail
ure TO confirm any of the appointees
would enable the present incumbents
to hold over and prevent any change
in the political complexion of the
various boards throughout the State,
and thus there would be retained in
Office Democratic School Examiners
who have not heretofore been APP
pointed because of special fitness a.
lone, but rather because Of their poll
teal pull and ability to influence vot-
srs as they travel around in perfcr-
Torrance of school duties. Other
similar measures under the guise Of
reform but intended to take offices
from Republicans are being projected
and the sad spectacle will be seen,
that of Blair Lee, who aspires to be
Governor of this great common
wealth and who has heretofore posed
as great reformer, leading this gang
Of hungry office holders who wish to
stay in and also the crowd who wish
to getin by bipartisan board, laws aud
other indirect doubtful schemes
Cur idea about areformers," are grad
ually but surely changing as we see
every day the peculiar and to us APP
parently crooked efforts made by
them to get into, or to retain office.

From a time when the memory Of
the Oldest inhabitant runneth not to
the contrary, Maryland legislatures
have bees enacting dog laws. Al
most invariably these laws have been
local-that is, applicable to a par
ticdlar county specified in the statute
There have been times, however,
when. as many as half dozen diff
ferent dog laws operative in as many
different counties were on the hooks
at once. For nearly hundred years
and, perhaps, even back in the time
when Maryland was a British
province, one Of the mighty questions
which shook rural populations was as
to whether or not the dog should pay
tax. Even now if the great prin-
ciple of the referendum should be
invoked with regard to this question
Ii it should be put to the test of
popular vote whether or not the
owner of a canine should pay an
annual tax upon his four-footed
friend--it is doubtful how the issue
would be decided.
Mr.. Warburton of Cecil county
has introd iced @by request" dog
tax law which purposes to make it a
state wide issue, and which would
establish state dog tax commission
with a branch in every county.
This proposition will meet with
decided opposition in both branches
of the legislature if an effort is made
in earnest to pass II, especially from
Baltimore and other towns and cities
of the state which already have
special dog tax laws. The dog tax
license question is purely local one
and the counties towns and cities
should be allowed to regulate it to
suit themselves.
There is another and very impor-
tant question to be considered by
legislators, and that is that the enact
ment or attempted enactment Of dog
lawshas killed more embrys statesmen
thar any other question every adj
yanced.

LOCAL OPTION FIGHT GETTING
HOT.

The most interesting development
in the local option fight within the
past week was the exposure Of the
fact by the Anti-Saloon League that
Speaker Trippe had written the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation and otter commercial orgahi-
cations in Baltimore asking them to
come to the aid Of the city members
of the Legislature who are opposing
the local option bill. The Speaker
virtually admitted the charge by say
ing that lie would give the League
copy of his letter o these Assocla-
tons if Superintendent Anderson
would furnish him a copy Of she
League letter to ihe preachers. Mr..
Anderson promptly complied but
the Speakers letter las not yet be- II
made public.
The Speaker became SO angry over
the Leagues exposure Of his activity
against the bill, notwithstan ding his
claims Of Judicial fairness, that he
called the League Sup erintendent ga
common scold and a public nuisance"
and intimated broadly that the local
option movement was without merit.
This has stirred up the churches and
ministers all over the state and has
really helped the local option move
ment R.v. John Roach Strattor,
d. d., of Baltimore on Sunday
night publicly defended the Superin-
tendent of the League and various
Ministerial Unions have taken
action.
The House Temperance Committee
gave hearing to the friends of the
bill on Thursday last the opponents
will be heard next week.
The League surprised the opposi-
ton last week by getting Senator J.

REPUBLICAN PROGRESS.

At the Lincoln Day celebration
in new New York on the 18th
instant President Taft attacked
the Democrats especially for their
proposition to reduce the Amry
by eliminating one-thrd of its
and for departing from
he time honored policy of adding
each year two new battleships to
the Navy.
ain considering our many respon-
sibilities in all parts Of the WORLD he
said, 81 think this great mistake.
Certainly the dimunition in the ad-
ditions to our fleet ought not to
be considered until the Panama Ca
nal is completed. In other words our
Democratic friends are doing the
very thing that they are always re-
puted to do-they are doing the
wrong thing at the right time
In the course Of his defiance Of the
Democratic party and its peculiar
propositions the President emphati-
cally asserted his belief that the Re-
publicans would again trump; in
November, and declared abe had
little sympathy with those of his
own political faith who called them
selves progressives, but who are po-
litical emotionalists or neurotics."
For nine reasons, the President
said the Republican party could be
regarded as the party of progress -
That party, be said, had provided for
the @close regulation of corporation
given privileges by the State, had
passed and amended the Inter State
Commerce act, the employers lIabili-
ty law aud a law for mining
bureau; had provided for workmen's
compensation and mediation between
railroads aod their employees. 1t was
willing, he added, to perfect the judi
cial procedure of the Federal courts,
would revise the tariff in accordance
with sound principles Of economics,
had advanced policy Of conserva-
ton and stood for world peace.
He further said: AMEN praise Lin
coin today and attack sf,s Republican
party, altogether forgetful Of The fact
that in Lineoln's life the man and the
party were so closely united in aim
and accomplishm ent that the history
of the one is the history 81 the OF ,er.
The Truth is that the history Of the
last 80 years, with one or wo excep-
tons, has been the history of the Re-
publican party. The progress that
has been made has been made by the
Republican party in the legislative
and executive power that has been
entrusted to it by the people at large.
"There are those who look upon
the present situation as one full of
evil and corruption and as a tyranny
of concentrated wealth, and who in
apparent despair at any ordinary
remedy are seeking to pull down
those things which have been re-
garded as the pillars OF the temple Of
freedom and representative govern
ment, and to reconstruct our whole
society on some new principle not
definitely formulated and with no in
telligent or intelligiols forecast of
the exact constitutional and statua-
tory results to be attained"

WOMEN SUFFRAGE.

One of the important question tt
be decided in the near future by the
voters Of Maryland is whether OF
not the women of the State shall
have the right to vote. Many thou
sand of the brightest women from
every portion of the State are at,
this time pressing their demands on
the Maryland legislature for the
enactment of a state wide Suffrage
Law, and these suffragettes are be-
ing backed up by many advanced
thinkers in and out of the State. In
a hearing before the Committee on
Constitutional Amendments held
during the past week as an evidence
Of the growing sentiment ia favor Of
equal suffrage for women a delega-
ton of eight hundred Baltimore
women went over to Annapolis bear
ing petition signed by $4,000 voters
of the State asking for the passage of
the Law, now in committee which will
permit the people to decide whether
or not en- amendment to the consti-
tuition shall be adopted granting
them the right of suffrage. Strong
arguments in favor of women's
suffrage were made by Con ressman
Taylor of Colorado where women
have had the right of suffrage for IS
years, and by Mrs. Donald r. Hook
er, president of the Just Government
League, Mrs. w. J. Funck, Miss
Julia r. Rogers Miss Eta II. Mad
dox and others all of this state.
The arguments all tended to show
the many great benefits to the people
that will be derived by giving them
the right of suffrage. We are not
committed to or against the suffrage
Of women, in Maryland but we can
not but help note favorably that
wherever they have had the privilege
granted them, laws have been enacted
which benefited the children, i'm
proved the school systems previously
in vogue. and have been instrument
ta,l in a very great degree, in restrain
ing and restricting the sale Of intoxi-
Giants. An overwhelming majority
Of Maryland women, regardless of
all conditions, stand out boldly for
higher standard of morality, against
corruption and all forms of injustice,
and we are much inclined to the be-
lief that the right Of suffrage to wo-
men would be beneficial rather than
detrimental However, we do think
that the legislature should undoubt- !
eddy give the people the right to vote
on the constitutional amendment and
let them decide the questions for
themselves.

AS noted last week Mr.. Posey has
introduced bill to refund to dog
owners in this county the licenses
which they paid under the law pass
ed at the last session of the legisla-
lure. In view OF the fact that the
law as it stands today is almost uni
yersially condemned, it appears to US
to be a very sensible idea which Mr..
Posey proposes to enact into law and
will be only Just to those who have
paid the tax, if the present county
dog law is repealed, as we believe it
will be. There is another question
to be taken in consideration with this
one, and that one ia frequently being
asked, how will those persons be re-
compensed whose dogs were killed
by officers of the law? Should not
The owners of such dogs be paid p
Is it not just and fair that they too
soould be reimbursed for the loss, in
many instances of valuable dogs,
which were legally killed by law Of
ficers because the owners would not
or could not pay the tax? Ne be-
lieve it i. But we consider it an
imPossibi.ity to get such law passed
and we therefore will not ask cur
legislators to attempt it, as, in our
opinion, it will result in nothing more
than a waste of time. But its fair
ness aud justice still stands.
