RECOGNITION OLE REPUBLICS.

Yuan Shi Kai has prepared letter
To the various governments or the
world, telling them of his election az
president and asking them to recog-
nize the Chinese Republic, but up 70
this time no nation has seen fit to do
so, and it is thought that none will do
so until a cabinet has been appointed
and a more complete government set
up. It is said that thousands OF
Cinnamon, in person and by mail, are
urging President Taft to be the frst
to recognize the Chinese Republic
Formerly it was the custom Of our
Government To b. among the first To
recognize new republics, but Ira recent
years 1T has been inclined to 20 Va the
other extreme and b. among the last
Perhaps there are good diplomatic
reasons for this. The monarchs Of the
world naturally dislike to see the
spread of democratic ideas. They do
not know at what moment their own
thrones may fall. If our country
should too eagerly encourage mon
arches to become republics, it would
cause itself to be disliked and dis
trusted by monarcies.
Our State Department evidently con-
siders that we cannot afford to have
all the monarchs in the world look
Ing upon us al their natural enemy.
In the meantime China seems to b.
getting Oh very well with such gov
eminent e. it has. It j.. remarkable
that such good order prevails, because
% terrible famine as there j. in
some parts Of China would make al
most any other country disorderly.

WOODROW WILSON AT ANNAPOLIS

Governor Woodrow Wilson, Of New
Jersey, came from Trenton yesterday
to talk to the Maryland Legislature
on representative government and to
tell the lawmakers why, in his opinion,
the American people have come
to distrust their Legislatures and
some of their administrative officials.
He came out squarely and fat-footed-
ly for the initiative, referendum and
the recall, but said that the initiative
and referendum should not at this
time be considered in connection with
national legislation, because there was
no demand for it, and that while he
was in favor of the recall for admin
istrative officers, he was not in favor
of the recall Of judges The recall,
in his opinion, did not fit that partic-
ular case, and there were other ways
of reaching desired results if the de-
cisions of judges failed to suit the

We are informed that freight auto

BALTIMORE HOTEL RATES DUR
ING THE CONVENTION.

1t was understood when the Demo-
cratic National Committee selected
Baltimore as the place for holding
the coming Democratic National Con-
vention, the hotel rates of the city,
were to be those usually charged to
guests, and 40 more. tit has been said
by some persons who have been trying
to arrange for the entertainment of
delegations, that this agreement has
been violated, and rates much higher
than those usually charged are being
asked.
This has created a great stir and
the newspapers of the city have dis
cussed it quite freely. The matter
has been taken up by the legislature
and an investigation is being held.
Just what power the legislature has
in fixing hotel rates, is somewhat I'M
certain. Lawyers differ as to the pow
or Of the legislature to exercise such
a function. Some persons in the leg
islature suggest putting the matter
in the hands of the Public Service
Commission. OF course, If the legis-
lature has no power To f. hotel rates
1t could not confer such power upon
any other body.
we hope the matter may be salts
factorally adjusted, and we believe il

PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES.

The delegates to the National Con-
vention Of the Democratic Party to
b. held in Baltimore will be- selected
soon. Maryland should d. represent
ed by delegates, VINO will vote for
the candidate whom the majority of
the Democratic voters in the State
prefer. This choice can only be de-
termined by general vote, such as in
a primary election. The legislature
should pass law legalizing the pri-
mary election at which delegates, may
be chosen to the National Convention.
We have made rapid strides from
government by the few toward
government by the people. Govern
ment by and for the people is slogan
more to be used as conjurer than
to put into practice. Selection Of
delegates by the State Central Com
mittee il not representative govern
ment in the sense that the State Cen
trail Committees Oft the several coun-
ties and legislative districts of Balti-
more city represent the people Of their
respective sections and reflect the
views Of the voters Of their party, The
members of the State Central Com
mittees were elected In August, 1911,
when no on was debating whom he
preferred for President.
The legislature by passing the bill
legalizing the primary election for
delegates to the National Conventions
will put the question of selections OF
delegates into the hands of the peo-
pie instead of into the hands Of the
State Central Committee Of the two
great parties Only, in the bill, 1t
lit b. provided that the nefarious pro
vision be omitted that allowed The
marking OF the ballot outside the
booth, which proved att the last pri-
mary election an open invitation to
fraud and deception of which sufficient
advantage was taken to warrant the
repeal of that provision of the law.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH s, 1912
WHAT IS IA DEMOCRAT :

This question IL one that now seems
To b. uppermost in the public mind
here FRI Maryland, especially in Bal
timOre city, where there iS such "a
variegated lot of 10 called Democrats
that many of them lose their identity
on election day. We are not surpris-
cd that they are now endeavoring to
find out where they are at"
For the benefit Of such we append
the definition of Democracy as enun-
ciated by that once distinguished
leader-ex-Un United States Senator,
William Allen, of Ohio
Democracy is a sentiment not to
be appalled,, corrupted, or comprom-
ised. 1T knows no baseness; it
covers to no danger; it Expresses no
weakness. Fearless, generous and
humane, it rebukes the arrogant,
cherishes honor, and sympathizes
with the humble. It seeks nothing
but what 1T comedies; 1T comedies
nothing but what 1T demands Des-
tructive only Of despotism, it il the
sole conservation OF liberty, labor
and property 1t il the sentiment Of
freedom, Of equal rights and equal
obligations. 1t is the law of nature
pervading the land. The stupid, the
selfish, and the base in spirit may
denounce it as a vulgar thing; but in
the history of our race the Democrat
ic principle has developed and illus
trated the highest moral and intellec-
tuaI attributes Of our nature. Tt il
a noble, sublime sentiment which
expands our affections, enlarges the
circle Of our sympathies, and elevates
the soul of man, until claiming an
equality with the best, 1T rejects -
unworthy of it, dignity any political
immunities over the humblest Of its
fellows. Yes, it il an ennobling
principle; and may its spirit animate
us in the impending struggle for it's
preservation"
Any one who entertains these senti-
ments and strives to make them eff
fective by his conduct and his ballot is
a Democrat

Could our grief and sorrow know.

The Brotherhood Of Humanity.

As our civilization rises in the scale
the concern Of the Individual man for
his brother takes on a more practical
attitude.
Great governments are coming to
recognize an obligation to those. not
only who have become disabled by in
jury or disease, but even the large
class to which we all belong, whose
earning power becomes exhausted by
reason of old age, are being accepted
as legitimate pensioners on the govern
ment bounty.
Not only has this humanitarian spirit
reached great national governments,
but it has appealed to nearly all bust
ness institutions, corporations and in
dustries whose employees have become
disabled for any cause. Their obliga-
ton does not cease toward those who
have served them faithfully, with the
mere payment of the stipulated per
diem.
A striking and commendable extern
sion of this spirit is manifested in re.
cent law Of the State of Missouri pro-
viding for "Pensioning Mothers" q
When a poor woman who is the sole
support of a family of small children
can no longer care for them. and they
are about to become charge upon the
public funds, instead of putting them
away in some institution where they
would receive at best poor substitute
for parental attention, the mother is
granted an allowance from the State,
which is paid to her every month for
the support of her household and the
safe keeping of her little ones. Instead
of taking the mother away from her
children in order that she may work for
them, or taking the children away
from the mother in order that she need
not work so hard, the mother and chill
dren are kept together, and the State
pays part of the bill. the mother be-
ing permitted to perform such labor as
she can without neglecting her family
ard thus supplementiug the grant of
the State when possible.
Who. indeed, is more worthy of the
charity Of the State than mother with
both hands fuifof baby 1.-The Public
