SENATOR BURTON'S RE-
TIREMENT.

Senator Theodore Z. Burton of
Ohio will not be accused very gener-
ally of Withdrawing from the race
for reelection because he is afraid
Of tight or a defeat. He has never
stunned one or especially feared the
other. But he takes himself out of
the running because he frankly ad-
mits that the cross currents of af-
fairs and opinion have become so
mixed that it is impossible to har-
monize his own views with those of
the community whose suffrages he
would have to seek. Unwilling, af-
ter his long service, to sacrifice the
privilege of voicing his own views,
he finds that the political party with
which he has affiliated is likely to be
stronger with a new man, of less
pronounced and widely known views,
as its candidate; SO he is willing to
take himself out of the way.
MIR. Burton's position is precisely
that of good many other men; but
not many will cut the Gordian knot
SO frankly and directly as he is do
ing it. Of men who have voluntarily
retired. from places Of distinction
and power, because they could not
hope accurately to represent their
constituencies sentiments, the num-
Der has been all too small in Ameri-
can politics. Too often they have
trimmed and adjusted and juggled
and lodged. The man who, after
such course, gets elected, never
can tell what he was elected to DO,
and SO he is likely not to satisfy his
constituency.
Senator Burton possesses in high
measure the equipment and quality
of the statesman; but he has been
growing more and more out of touch
and sympathy with the purposes of
his Ohio people. Ohio has been
through the political fires. 1t has
heen struggling now a long time
with a radical leadership and SEN
timent on one side, and bunch of
regional bosses on the other; and it
has made tremendous gains in the
direction Of modern, progressive,
liberal thought and methods. Mr..
Burton has had little sympathy with
the advance of his State, and the
old Republican party has had no
more. So the Republican party in
Ohio faces the fact that it last elect
ed Republican governor in 1902,
and that it has so little prospect of
carrying the State this year that Mr..
Burton prefers to drop out rather
than lead a fight.
These things may look like politi-
cal incidents, when they are survey
ed one at time in widely separ-
ated communities. But as a matter
Ct fact the country is garnering
some of the fruits of the new pro-
gram of popular election of Sena-
tors. There will be yet further
revolution in the personnel of the
Senate as result of that program;
and the Senate, already far on the
way to being the really representa-
tive branch of Congress, will go yet
farther in that direction.

PROGRESSIVE MARYLAND

Maryland has joined the group of
the most progressive States of the
Union. On last Saturday the Mary
land house of delegates gave the
final vote in favor of three most i'm
portant constitutional amendments,
all of which will be submitted to the
people in November, 1916. o.
AS the result of years of strug-
gle on the part of progressives,
there is then to be submitted q lib
eral and effective referendum
amendment, applicable alike to leg
islation of Statewide character and
TO Legislation affecting single coun-
ties. Ten thousand voters in the
State may demand that a hill passed
by the legislature and approved by
the governor shall be submitted to
the electorate, and meanwhile shall
stand suspended in its operation.
The bill will not be law thereafter
except it receives the approval of
the majority voting thereon at the
next general election. No trick
worked by or upon the legislature
will be safe from oyerturn with this
power in the hands of the people.
A second amendment of great sig
nificance is for real home rule in
the city of Baltimore and the sew
eral counties. Under its provisions,
utter the passage Of certain legisla-
tion to make it operative, each coun-
ty will frame its own government
and have its own legislature con-
trolling the matters belonging to the
county. No longer will the legisla-
ture be called on to regulate the use
of searchlights in hunting muskrats
on the Nanjimoy creek, or to pro-
hibit swine from desecrating the
court house yard at Prince Freder-
ickton, or to condemn the altogether
reprehensible practice of exporting
mad toms and scaly cats from Fred
erick county. 1t will be enabled to
attend to the business which prop
erly pertains to legislature acting
on behalf of the whole State
The Legislature has also submit
ted an amendment regulating taxa
tion, authorizing the legislature to
classify land, improvements, and per-
sonal property, to make taxation uni
form within the several classes, and
TO allow taxes to be levied only upon
such classes as the legislature or
the taxing authorities Of the several
counties and the city of Baltimore
may designate as subject to taxa
tion. This makes the home rule
amendment above mentioned effec-
tive in its most vital pint, and will
enable the State of Maryland to
take a most advanced position in
matters Of taxation.
There is, we believe, no better
constitutional provision in any State
of the Union than that submitted
TO the voters of Maryland. Should
il lie adopted, the court Of appeals
will not be called on to sanction
manifegtly illegal practices with re-
gard to taxation, which exist be-
cause common sense practices were
at variance with the constitution. In
other words, of recent years it has
only been because the court of ap-
peals permitted violations of the
constitution that the State has been
