Oh, Miss June, she comes a-dancing
where the sunoeams are a-glsnoing
And the leaves begin to rustic In the

Impatientiy we saneer, but we know
she's over youder,
By the laughter aud the hoddiug Of The
trees
We have waited for her smiiiag that is
winsome aud begui ing
Where the bnterilies are drifting
bright aud gay;
And the bird that gravely listens WHERE
the water glides aud glistens
Seems to hear her foot steps not so far
away.
other seasons tell OF duty, but it's only
for her beauty
That we cherish her remembrance
through the year.
Her hair IS full Of roses aid every
thought dlscloses
A reminder Of earth's gentleness aud
cheer,
Though her gifts are not so many, we
are not requesting any,
II she'll only bring the blossoms and
the dew,
And she seems as she draws near you,
like some people who can cheer you
When they simply smile and say, "How
do you do ?''-Wash. Star.

MUST REGISTER coLoRHp VOTERS

The amendment to the Frederick
election laws known as the "grand-
fathers" clause, passed by the Legis-
lature of 1904, declaring colored
people from voting at the city cleo
tons, was declared in direct conflict
with the Fliteerth Amendment by
Chief Judge Urner and Associate
Judges WoIthington and Peter to-
day, the court being unanimous.
Ii delivering the opinion Judge
Urner said.
"Without further reviewing the
case, we consider the act in conflict
with the Fifteenth Amendment to
the Constitution of the United States
and therefore uncc Institutional. The
other qualifications, supplemented by
Section 270-P, whirh in substance
are, 1st., the holder and payer Of
taxes on 5000 or more Of real or per-
sonal property, and, End, person
who voted prior to January l, 1869,
or who is hneal male descendant
Of any person who voted prior to
this time, are held as inseparable
parts of the voting qualifications and
cannot be considered as seperable,
thus lnvalidating the entire act.
"Our judgment is expressed in
keeping with the decision Of the
United States Supreme Court and
other leading authorities and desire
to adhere to what we believe the
higher law.
Judge Glenn II. Worthington, " no
was chairman Of the Committee that
prepared the act, in concuring in the
opinion said.
'IAstead of an educational qualif
cation, we inserted a property quail
ication. The Poe act contained a
lineal descendant qualification. In
the decision of the United States
Supreme Court none has squarely
met the issue involved here l had
thought the Fifteenth Amendment
did not apply to municipal elections,
but l have recently found a dissent
ing opinion by Judge HUNT in case
where he did decide the amendment
applied to municipalities. l have
concluded the law here is unconsti-
tutional and concur with my brothers

THH PACIFIC ENrHps.

Held in leash by the immense
bikes that had been constructed to
prevent the rush of the waters Of
the Pacific into the canal before the
constructors were ready for them,
tie pillows of the mighty ocean have
been heaying impatiently to get into
the new avenue in course OF prepare
ton. The time is not yet at hand
for wedding Of the Atlantic and the
Pacific and the passage of craft
along the united waters.
Still, a great step was taken when
the immense charge Of dynamite
stored in 236 holes drilled in the
dam near Mnafores exploded with A
roar that was heard for FIVE miles
and that shook the City Of Panama.
The thrush Of the waters Of the Pa
oifc into this section Of the canal
marked the progress of the work to-
ward completion. 1t is believed that
the presence of the water in the can
81 will, among other effects, tend 10
give greater stability to the enibank-
ments that have been sliding and
greatly increasing the work Of ex-
oavation.
With the water in the canal the
pressure that will be exerted upon
the slipping strata is counted upon
to abate the difficulties that have
been a source of much concern to
the construction engineers.

THE GRAND JURY.

The Grand jury for this term Of
Court is deserving Of the highest
commentator from the people Of
the county for the thorough, orderly
and efficient work done by. it. Not
only has its work been a saving to
the taxpayers Of the county but has
helped the workings Of the Court in
enabling it to proceed most rapidly
with its work. From what we can
understand it made every effort TO
wind up its work on "Wednesday but
were prevented by few small mat
tiers which it was not in their power
to prevent
The Grand Jury without a single
exception was composed Of the most
representative citizens Of the county.
There were serving on the Jury two
gentlemen who have served before as
foreman, Mr.. Albert B. Posey and
Mr.. T. r. Farrall, whose past records
as such stands 90 the records ar eff
Gent and in every way comrendable.
A thing that must impress the public
with its work is the ffet that they
did not load the Court dockets with
numberless small cases of No real
importance. This may be due to tie
fact that there were little or no evil
dence to indict but we rather imagine
from the calibre Of the Jury they
took no notice Of small attempts Of
prejudiced people who appeared be
fore them to carry out some malici-
GUS prejudice against any man wo-
man or child in the county. Their
report which will appear in our next
issue speaks for itself and should be
read by every citizen. 1t shows the
diligence, fairness and efficiency OF
their work and bears oft the
fact heretofore stated that they are
to be highly commended. The peo-
pie can well and truthfully say Of
them: aWell done thou good and
faithful servants
