Woman Suffrage in Maryland

From the Baltimore American.
Maryland women who are tighting for
the ballot must not be discouraged by
the action of the house of delegates III
putting quietus on their bill asking for
constitutional amendment that. passed
favorably upon by the voters of the state
would give them the right of suffrage. As
their leader said after the defeat of her
pet measure. the women had good cause
to feel encouraged. Two years ago they
only had eighteen friends in the house;
this year they had thirty-four. In othe,
words, they had nearly doubled the num-
Der since the last session of the legisIa-
ture. There are other measures having
similar ends in view and these will come
up for consideration later on. OF course
after their first defeat. the chances of
other bills giving women the vote under
certain conditions are none too bright
but that fact does not weaken the argu-
ment in their favor. Women should have
the vote in Maryland just as women have
the vote in ny of the more progress
sive western states and in several lands
under the best Of governments.

Maryland District Motor Reciprocity.

District motorists WILL without excep-
ton. hope for the success of the present
efforts of the Automobile Club of Maryland
to secure from the legislature a modifica-
tion of tae present motor-lcensing law,
which discrirninates so unjustly against
Washingtonians. BY the terms of this
Law reciprocal license rights are granted
TO the motorists of all other states and
territories. and under a liberal construc-
ton of this statute the District would
surely have been included, but it has been
held that the District of Columbia is not
territory and that as federal district
it is not entitled TO the reciprocity which
l. granted TO every other jurisdiction.
Motors licensed IN the District of Column
bid can go into Virginia and from Vir-
gtnia into all other states without paying
state licenses. But if q Washington mo-
| torist wishes to take the shortest cut to
| the state Of Pennsylvania, where he is
welcomed. he must pay Maryland Ii
cense in order to get there. although the
| Pennsylvania motorist can come here and
enjoy the reciprocity of the District of
| Columbia without paying Maryland a
| penny for the privilege of transit across
| the state.
| The District OF Columbia has been en-
| tirely willing to srant full reciprocity to
/ Maryland motorists as it has to motor
| lists of all other states in the Cnion and
would long since have done SO but for
| the obviously unfair discrimination
| against its own motorists under the up-
duly riSid construction of the Maryland
I IAN. a test caso to determine the right
