Presidents Probable Intention.

Judging from what is known of the
plans and purposes of President Wilson,
1t is proba BILE that he has in mind the
expenditure of money for improved
methods of sanitation and bringing the
public schools nearer to perfection than
they are at present: the wiping out of
slums and the arousing of the people of
the District to keener appreciation of
the Importance of improving their moral
and educational status rather than to be
altogether concerned as to their material
welfare.

garding National Capital.

Commenting on the plans of the Dis
tr1ct Commissioners. with the indorse-
ment of the President to halt the
Identification and establishment OF
Washington as a city until its moral
uplift' can be improved. David S. Barry
says in recent issue of the Providence
Journal:
Residents of Washington and con-
gressmen who as members of the SEN
ate and House committees on the Dis
trict of Columbia are concerned in the
management of the municipal affairs
appear to be completely in the dark as
to what it is President Wilson is aim
ing at in his expressed purpose of bet
tering the local government machinery.
Like Kansas, there has seemed to be
nothing the matter with Washington
and President Wilson has made no
charges Of corruption or misgovern-
ment. He has. however, become very
much impressed with the recommended
tions contained in the plan of govern
ment presented to him last spring by
Henry Bruere of the bureau Of mu-
nicipal research and John Purroy
Mitchell of New York.

months in a study of local conditions
and governmental methods before they
are ready to present a plan of their

Mitchell plan, and in the meantime they
have aroused the curiosity of the com

an entirely new fiscal plan.

CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE
BEFORE HIGHEST COURT
"Grandfather Clause in the
Maryland Election Law
to Be Argued.

Whether or not the grandfather
clause in the laws regarding municipal
elections In Maryland is a violation of
federal guarantees is to be argued before
the Supreme Court of the United States
this week. The clause has been held
by the federal circuit court of Maryland
to be unconstitutional, and the court. in
deciding against the act Of 1903, also
fined election officials Of Annapolis for
excluding negroes from registration.
Provisions of the Law.
The contested law provides that only
males twenty-one years Of age, possess
ing $500 worth of property, who were en-
titled, or whose ancestors were entitled,
TO vote January /, 1865, Should be en-
titled to register in Annapolis municipal
elections. Attorneys for the election Off
Gals claim that the amendments to the
federal Constitution prohibiting states
from denying or abridging the right OF
persons to vote on account of race have
no application to municipal elections. In
this particular the case is distinguished
from the Oklahoma election law, recently
presented to the court for consideration.

Express Cases Scheduled.

The New York city express cases also
to be argued this week, are said to have
attracted the attention of many cities,
which may impose similar regulations
on the big express companies. The
regulation which provides for the
licensing of persons engaged in the
express business was held unconstitu-
tional by the federal circuit court in
New York on the ground that it inn
properly interfered with Interstate
commerce.
In some quarters, an early determina
ton of the Virginia. West Virginia
debt case is expected from the court
\ few Years ago the court passed upon
the merits of the case and decided in
favor of Virginia. holding West Nir
ginia liable to the mother state for
several millions of original state debt
The court left open the question of
interest for the states to settle, but
they have been unable to agree. and
Virginia recently asked the court to
close up the case.

Hard Year.

crop report for October, as follows: Crop
reports from 81 of the SO counties Of the
state were received under date of Oct
20, and Indicate that the year has been
hard one on the farmers. As fore
casted in former reports, the corn crop
of the state will be about 60 per cent
of a normal crop, the average as fig
ured out from the report being SO per
cent. Up to date on which reports were
made to the department wheat sowing
had progressed nicely. Indications also
are Of good acreage in winter oats and
also of rye. The department reports
show that the yield of cotton will hardly
equal that of 1912, and that there will
be decrease in the yield of tobacco,
sweet potatoes and Irish potatoes. Young
clover and grasses, according to the re-
ports, show deterioration in condition
from last year. Live stock condition
is affected by the prevalence of hog
cholera. Up to Oct. 20 about 81 per cent
of the hog crop had been marketed.
