Laurel Takes a Forward Step

Laurel took a forward step Monday.
In one of the most important munich
pal elections ever held there the voter 8
decided to bond the town for $52, 900
for a sewerage system, $23, 900 for the
extension of its water system and
5000 to extinguish it's floating debt.
The vote on the sewerage question was
close, the proposition being carried by
the small majority of Is. The major
lty for the extension of the water
system was 1913, and that for the ex-
tinction of the debt II.
Mayor George W. Walters, Jr., was
re elected for second term of two
years, having no opposition. The rest
of the ticket elected was as follows:
Councilmen-First ward, Gilbert A.
Haslup; Second ward, Albert L. Cos
nell; Third ward, Elwood N. Fisher.
Councilmen-a t-large-L Clinton DON
aldson and E. B. Carr.
All of the above councilmen were re-
elected, with the exception of Gilbert
A. Haslup, who succeeds Mr.. Jones,
president of the old council, although
Mr. Haslup has served as councilman
before.
Mayor Walters is A years of age
He is a Democrat in politics, although
party utilization does not figure in
municipal elections there. He has been
cashier of the Citizens National Bank
of Laurel for the past Is years, which
position he still holds and also conducts
a general hardware store at Laurel.

To Have General Registration

There will be a general regis
tration of voters III the counties
this year., the first since 1896, and an
event that the Democrats have post
poned year after year and sought to de-
fer gain at the last Legislature through
the medium of a bill introduced by
Senator Hammond, of Howard county.
The Hammond bill, which was SINH
lar to those of previous years, pushed
back general registration in the counties
until 1918. Governor Goldsborough
has vetoed the bill.
The situation as to general reglstra-
tons in the State has been this Bal
timore city's registrations were con-
Quoted under special clause applica-
bic to the city alone and it has had its
general registrations at regular periods,
every two years f; the counties have US
ed the general supplemental reglstra-
tions annually since then.
The present situation is what the Re-
publicans have claimed to want for
wears. They have made the assertion
consistently that new general reglstra'
ton in the counties would eliminate
many names that should not be on the
registration books and that the Demo
Gratis would be the far greater sufferers
And the Republicans have fought TOR a
new registration with that end in view
The Democrats evidently took pref
tv much the same view about the mat
ter as the Republicans. They have in

Baden Items

The Lower Marlboro Dramatic Club
gave a very entertaining melodrama
(''The Fruit of His Folly by Arthur
Lewis Tubbs) in St. Paul's Parrish Hall
Thursday evening, the 16 inst Wealth
err conditions were unfavorable and
this shows in the attendance, which
however was remarkably good. The
play was clean, interesting, and eX
cellently rendered and was thoroughly
enjoyed by the audience. 1t is to be
regretted that the inclement weather
prevented some of our neighbors from
enjoying this treat. The following
were in the cast: Misses Edith Ward,
Allye Ruth Gibson, Alma Plummer,
Bessie Swan, Genevieve Human,
Nessrs Garfield Human, Joreph Sun
derland, Jr', Leslie Cox, Samuel Sun
derland, and Carey Human: during
the intermissions music (piano, violin,
and vocaD was furnished by Mrs.
Owings. Miss Gibson, Miss Younger,
Mr.. Fowler, and Mr., Owings, adding
much to the pleasure of the occasion.
With the advent of Spring the Baden
High School baseball team is rapidly
rounding into shape and we confidently
look forward to a series of interesting
contests in which our school team
should acquit itself most creditably.
The School has material in plenty, an
efficient coach, good grounds, and the
entire neighborhood is much interested
in seeing the boys put up good game.
On the 18th, at Baden, the second
team easily defeated the Upper MARI
boro second team II to 3.
The first scheduled game of the first
team april 18th, with Lower Marlboro)
was not played because of rain. The
next game will be with Surratts High
School at Surratts, GU the oath. The
first and second tesms will play the
first and second teams respectively
1.-TWO games) of Lower Marlboro at
Baden next Saturday afternoon (be

troduced, passed and had signed by
Democratic Governors in Legislature,
bills similar to that of Senator Ham,
mond in fact that bill has been a sort
of institution.
Men who know politics pretty we'll
and who have looked at the question
from an unbiased viewpoint say it IS
probable that Baltimore. Anne Arun-
del, Howard, Prince Georges and
Montgomery count'e s will suffer the
most, so far as the Democrats are con-
cerned, in about the order named, from
a new general registration. These
counties are adjacent o large cities and
attract large numbers of young men
who pass on to other cities. They US
ualiy make a practice of going home
to vote" Under a Strict construction
of the law many of them might be fore
ed to vote in their places of actual res
idence-some of which are out of the
State.
Then it has been charged for years
by the Republicans that in the counties
adjacent to Baltimore there has been a
practice of registering "floaters' from
certain places and voting other ''foat-
ers" on the names in after years.
The argument of the Democrats in
opposing new general registration IN
past years has been that it would be a
hardship upon the farmers to force
all of them to register again and that
the expense would be very great.
1t will be something of a hardship
upon the farmers to make all of them
quit work for the best part of a day
and drive miles in some instances, to
register, when they possibly have been
living on the same farms for years and
are perfectly well known to their neigh
bors and to the election officials. And
it will be expensive, of course, to have
FIVE or six days of registration for a
general enrolment, instead of one or
two that have been had for the supple
mental registrations of past years.
A good deal of establishment has
been expressed at the failure of the
Democrats to put the Hammond bill
through early in the session, so thai
they could pass it over the Governor
veto, if necessary they had the votes
in the Legislature and probably could
have controlled them in such fight.
The answer appears to have beer
that the Democrats went to sleep or
the bill
