Court Says City Election Laws
Conflict With 9Th Amendment.

Chief Judge Hammond Urner, of the
Frederick County Circuit Court, and a
member of the Maryland Court of Ap-
peals, and Associate Judges WorthIngton
and Peter. were unanimous in the opinion
that qualifications for voters for Freder-
lex where the grandfather's clause has
been operative since 1904, is unconsttu
tlonal, and that persons possessing the
usual qualifications, should not be de-
barred from voting because their ances-
tors did not vote prior to January I, 1860,
which has been a qualification in the
Maryland law, applicable to Frederick
since 1904.
The question was raised upon the APP
peal to court OF Mitchell Johnson, color.
ed, who was refused registration He
filed an appeal to court and asked that
he be registered. charging that he was
refused registration because of his race
and color The court spent the entire
day upon the case, and on the following
morning three judges took the bench.
Judge Urner said IN part: The court has
reached decision in the appeal of Ed
ward Mitchell Johnson, who was refused
registration in Precinct No. I. of Freder-
lex, by the board of registers. Section
I56, of the Frederick city charter pre-
sCribes the qualifications for a voter and
these qualifications Johnson has met In
addition, the qualifications are supple
mented by Section 27oP, which are In
substance as follows: Ist. The holder
and payer OF taxes on $500 or more Of
real and personal property. and, per-
son who voted prior to January I, 1860,
or who is lineal male descendant of any
person who voted prior to this time.
These additional qualifications are in
tended as an integral part of the voting
qualifications for municipal elections in
Frederick and are not considered by the
court as separable.
In the judgment of the court the quail
ifications superimposed by section 27oP,
applicable to Frederick, are in conflict
with the 18th amendment of the constitu-
ton of the United States and are vC.d
The conclusions of the court are The
qualifications in section I56 and section
27oP are separable and that the qualifca-
tons for voting as before the passing of
section 27oP, still stand. Our Judgment
is expressed in keeping with decisions by
the United States Supreme Court and
other leading authorities. The opinion
of the court is that Edward Mitchell John
son is entitled to register and the order of
the court is that the petitioner be given
the relief as PRAYED !"

for the Democratic Primary for Mayor
and City Register. On Wednesday, May
29th. the Precinct Primary to select del
egates to the City Convention to nomi-
nate candidates for Aldermen and name
the Executive Committee will be held.
We call on all Democrats in each pre-
cinct to attend these meetings and thus
be a party to the selecting of the most
available men as candidates for Alder
men. 1t is our duty as members of the
Democratic party to attend these primsr-
les and select our very best men for such
important positions. Select capable men
that are progressive, and who have at
heart the welfare of our growing city
The Mayoralty and City Register pri-
mary on Tuesday next appeals to every
good citizen to select such men that Will
meet the requirements expected. Don t
remain away from the polls and then find
fault with the candidates selected The
Mayor should be an up-to-date business
man possessed of all the qualifications
necessary to successfully cope with the
conditions that will necessarily present
themselves. The City Register, the f.
nancial head of the City, should be an
expert accountant and have all the talent
necessary to handle the many complica-
ted tax and other problems submitted to
him for his manipulation. Go to the
Primaries and select the best men and on
June the the 10th triumphantly elect
the selections made.

culprits. The expression Of public men
relative to their neglect and carelessness
is unfair. If the conditions were fully
understood we are satisfied that the un-
kind remarks would have been withheld.

doubt the thieves and their pals were on
the watch of the officers. as well as the
officers are watching the thieves The

and if lynching follows the blame will
as usual be placed on the police. Mod
Grafton in all things should be exercised
and as the arrests have been made main
" through the instrumentality of our
force it is hoped the knocking will be
discontinued, as no good emauates from
villifcation and abuse. Uphold the po-
lice force and better results will be at

ty deserve to be commended for their
GOOD work in arresting the foreign ne
groes who have been robbing the homes

Board of Aldermen Meet.

The Board of Aldermen met in reg
ular session, with His Honor, the Mayor,
presiding.
Mr.. Charles Nice. Matthias. counsel
for the Edward L. Williams Company,
appealed to the board for the extension
OF water mains to the new addition to
this city, which has been laid out by the
Villa Company, that he represents. The
request was not acted upon, and consid-
cradle discussion relating to the matter
was participated IN by Messrs. Rice and
Johnson. The Water Committee will
meet on Friday evening to determine
what course they will recommend to the
board.
A meeting of the board will be called
on Friday evening to hear the report of
the Water Committee. which will visit
the water works on Friday morning.
Mr.. X c. Eggleston. representing the
Barrett Manufacturing Company of Phil
adelphia, Pa, which treats streets with
| TarviaB appeared before the board and
explained the proposition. He said that
the company would not come here unless
thev had a guarantee for the sale of a
10, 600 gallon tank of oil. 1t will cost the
city 7 = cents Gallon, and the city must
pay for haulingithe dust away and for the
sand
The board accepted the proposition
and will treat Elm street. which is now
being maCadamzed, East Fourth street,
and a block of East Third street. Mayor
Schel was given the power to set the
time for the work to be done. Mr. Egg
gleston then explained that they would
be in this part of tine country about the
third week in June, and said that it
would then be convenient for them to
come here. When Mayor Schell is no.
tilted that the work on Elm street has
been completed the company will be no
tilted.
Charles Hermann, florist. appeared
before the board and asked for revision
of his water tax. He explained that he had
only one boiler for his hot houses, while
some of the other florists had three
boilers and still he was charged the same
tax on water. The matter was referred
to the Water Committee.
Alderman Rice suggested that the
Frederick Railroad be notified to repair
East South street. as they had promised
to do, when permission was given to
lay the tracks. The matter was referred
to the Mayor.
Alderman Rice reported that the Brad
dock Heights Band desired to rent one
OF the rooms in the City Opera House.
Some of the members Of the board OBJ
iected, saving that the music sometimes
disturbed the meetings of the board.
1t was referred to the Committee on
Halls.
Alderman Rice called the attention of
the board to the condition of some OF
the bricks on Carroll street, portion of
which has been recently paved and said
that few OF the bricks were fitting and
were uneven.
The contract TO pave East All Saints
street from Market street to the end of
the residential section was given to Con
tractor Charles H. Klpp at the same
price that he agreed TO pave Carroll
street for
Some the house numbers on Yves.

NO AMALGAMATION OF THE
TWO REPUBLICAN PARTIES.

The effort to amalaamate the two
wings Of the Republican party seems to
have failed at the Chicago Convention
which was held last week. In so far as
results were reached it was no more fruit
ful than the Boston Convention Of some
time back, and no more effective than
the scheme proposed by Mr.. Frank \.
Munsey. And We do not see that it
makes any practical difference whether
the two Republican wings 90 together
or not.
The good Of the country will not be
enhance by their amalgamation. The
people have nothing to expect or to hope
from the reincineration of the RepubH-
san aud the Progressive Republicans.
They all believe in special privileges
and in high protective tarif-eyen to
the extent of believing in Al discriminate
ing tariff. Even Senator LaFollette an.
nounces that as his belief That i. in
the forefront, if not the whole Repub-
lican creed.
They believe in a tariff to suit each
man that is engaged in manufacturing.
and then some more, pretended of
course, for the benefit Of the laboring
man. And this very su5terfuge has
caused all the trouble that the country
is now having with the labor organiza-
tions.
To get the labor vote they have been
told for years that they were to get part
of the tariff by way Of increased wages,
and when they found that they did not
get it, and that they had been deceived
and cheated they organized. and the
country has been in trouble with organ
lied labor ever since. The laboring man
is entitled to Just wages and no more.
and that is all that any man is entitled
to, no matter what his employment nav
be. The laboring man, no matter what
form Of labor he does, is not entitled TO
have burdens placed upon his shoulders
as the people now have laid upon them.
by way of tariff extortion for his per-
sonal benefit. No form of labor has the
right to ask or to expect to have all of
the people that are consumers, taxed on
all things that they buy and wear and
need for his personal benefit and ad.
vantage.
Not only that, but such a system is
neither honest or Just, but it is grossly
and fagrantly dishonest and unjust.
both by the laws of God and man.
And it is just as well to meet this
question at once and to settle it once and
for all. 1t is criminal delusion and a
fraud.
The Republican party can accomplish
no earthly good even if it amalgamates

! or gets together by or in any form and
manner. The people Of this nation be-
Heye in equal rights to all and special
privileges to none, and they can only
get that from the Democratic party.
Without that foundation there is no such
thing as Democratic party.
That is the bed rock principle Of the
Democratic party and of all honest gov
eminent. There is not, and there can not
be. any honest government without equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none. and it was never so dear to the
people as it is today, and they are going
to maintain it more strictly than ever
before.

- HE situation in China today, It il
I'll. declared. offers great challenge
~ to the educated Christian men OF
America. 1t calls for the best of our uni
versity graduates to reinforce the telling
work of those already in the field. Within
the next fifty years men are to be trained
who are capable of leading O,OOO, 600
people.
THE Chinese leaders are face to face
with the greatest task which ever con-
fronted men in authority says Prof.
Treat, a profound student Of history,
after two visits to the orient, where he
had opportunity Of studying at first hand
the trend of Chinese political and social
movements.
But the challenge is not alone to those
who can work in China in person. says
the Spirit of Missions. Every church.
man who appreciates the importance of
Christian education, every churchman
who realizes that the security Of his home
and to a large extent the possibility of
his business rests upon a Christian foun-
dalton, must, if he be true to his profess
sion, endeavor to identify himself with
the church's educational enterprises In
the orient
Western civilization" says Prof. Treat
again, '.in it's richest development Is
Christian civilization. The successful So
luton of China's problem will require
men with knowledge and spirit to grap-
pie with difficult political and economic
