Shouldn't The People Decide2

IL delegates to the Democratic and

selected in Maryland in the way they
have heretofore been chosen, we know
in advance that the whole business
will be settled in star chamber by Il
half dozen or more gentlemen, who
will put their heads together and un-
dertake TO say what the people OF
maryland want TO do.
On the one hand, there will be Sen
ator John Walter Smith, Congressman
Talbot. Mr.. German John ], Mahon,
Mayor Preston, probably Senator Lee,
and few others.
For the Republicans, Mr.. Stone,
Congressman Parran, Mr. Hanna, the
governor, no doubt, and three or four
more leaders, more or less prominent
in party councils, will settle the ques-
ton.
On the Republican side the organ
iZation has already committed the
state TO the fortunes of President
Taft, and unless there is revolt OF
unprecedented vigor on the part OF
the rank and file the 10 delegates from
Maryland will be Of the die-in-the-
ditch variety for Taft.
A very different situation prevails
on the Democratic side of the house.
There are real and serious differences
OF opinion-precisely the situation in
which the voice of the electorate in
the Democratic party ought to be
heard.

the leaders want things TO remain as

In his younger days he was great

In vain her husband urged her to

own hands ripped off the old frayed
band and sewed on a new one. Then
he took ii to his wife. She was great

and he would take down his books
and begin to hunt out what English
doctors did with such cases three hun
dred years ago? Yet that Is what
American judges and lawyers are TO
ing today.
Ii is estimated that there are now
erican reports and 5000 volumes OF
English reports OF other countries
containing all told some million and
a half reported cases-which are used
as presidents, according to which
most OF our present-day cases are de-
cided.
And the evil is growing at a ire
mendous pace. Chancellor Kent, in
1884, complained of the multitude oil
law books. There were then about
two hundred American and about CSC
English law books. In seventy-fivt
years, American law books have
grown 5000 per cent-that is, from zoo
TO 10,vO0. The first reported American
case was published in 1858 and up to
1896 there were reported approximate
ly 100000 cases. During the next ter
years there were added some $50, 00(
reported cases-an addition OF nearly
$4,000 per year.
Through this mass of stuff, judges
lawyers and law students are trying Il
plough their way. Thus does the deaC
hand of the past rule our courts.
Don't you see how all this helps the
rich litigant? He can hire lawyers
and law clerks to plough through this
mass and get together material to be
fiddle courts and juries.

Tile big city Is prone to take itself
altogether too seriously at times, and

likable traits. This. too, Is the dis
position that leads II into provincial
thought and narrow ways. Unless the
big city inhabitant Is on his guard,
unless he occasionally energies be-
yond the walls and the influences OF
his community, unless he educates
himself TO the understanding that the
greater world lies beyond the gates,
he is very likely TO become far more
limited in his range OF vision than the
villager. The latter does know, at
least, that there Is O next county and
an adjoining state. that there are ac-
tivities beyond his sight and hearing,
that there are other civilizations; and
this knowledge and it's conse-
quent concession tc the fact that
his village is probably not the center
OF the universe, broadens him and Ats
ful competition with the big city man

For some reason. not yet fully ex-
planned. the inhabitant OF the big city
very frequently falls into the habit OF
thinking that he and those around

very often that II Is the tail that wags
the dog. Thus he is found, some
