w TE present to our readers this
w week the views of the Rev.
Isaac NJ. Motter on the sub
ject of a municipal electric light and power
plant to supply the citizens with current,
in contradistinction to the arguments
advanced by Mr.. Joseph d. Baker, pre-
sented in previous issue. Both of
these gentlemen addressed their commu-
nications to the Board of Aldermen for
consideration as the ACCESSIBILITY of adopt
ing their respective propositions. Rev.
Motter makes the point that the city can
obtain its electric current from outside
sources much more reasonable than il
could 90 into the business itself, and az
both of these gentlemen are well known
and prominent citizens, careful consid,
Grafton of their views is certainly due
them. This matter has been the subject
of much comment and controversy among
our people, and some way should be found
to get at the exact facts so that whatever
action is taken will be the very best in
the interests of our citizens and tax
payers

THE DECISION OF THE SU =
PREME COURT ON THE
GRANDFATHER S CLAUSE
AND THE 18TH AMENDMENT

This was an appeal from the decision
of the Registrars of the city of Annap-
oils in rejecting some negroes who APP
piled for registration in a corporation
election under the charter which con-
tanned the Grandfather S clause, and the
registrars refused to register them. The
case was appealed to the Supreme Court
as to the constitutionality Of that clause.
The case has been pending nearly two
years. Suffice it to say that the decis
ion is no surprise as it had been expected
that the court would decide as it has.
The leading lawyers of the South adj
vised against raising this question be-
cause they had found means to so
largely eliminate the negro vote that
it had been rendered negligible. OF
course the vote was a very serious
matter in the Southern States, be-
cause Of the vast numbers of illiterate
and incompetent voters enfranchised
without any qualifications 1t has long
been the consensus of the enlightened
conviction of the best citizens, without
regard to party, that the adoption of the
Fifteenth Amendment comforting the
suffrage on millions of ignorant negroes
was great mistake and could not, and
would not now be adopted. 1t was the
product OF the prejudice of the North to
the South and towards the Southern peo-
ple-the white people of the South. As
such the South has had to bear this
dangerous and unjust law as best it
could. 1t is for the South to minimize
Its effect as far as possible, and Congress
and the courts have indicated that while
it is the law, they will not by direct act
or intendment, enlarge it scope. The
late Senator Hoar, very able Senator
and lawyer of Massachusetts,, in a letter
to one Of the States in the South on the
Fifteenth Amendment, deplored the law
and while he said State could not dis.
franchise the negro on account of color.
race or previous condition of servitude.
he could be DISTINGUISHED for his litter
acy, or for lack Of property qualifca-
tions, or failure to pay poll tax if re-
CURED or any other requirement except
race, color or previous condition of sery-
tude. This has been done in all the
Southern States and we do not feel that
negro suffrage will give any very serious
trouble hereafter. In Maryland as we
are situated, border State where the
negro race has so largely Aocked since
the war, we have had more than our
share of the race trouble. This has
been made more acute because part of
our white people have shared in large
measure the worst prejudice of the North
to the South. But this is largely wear.
ing off. In addition to this the negro
vote can and will be greatly eliminated
by property qualifications, educational
qualifications and other requirements and
especially in municipalities. But it can
be more effectively done and we have no

T<HE Harrington campaign in Fred
h county was practically launched
Wednesday evening last with a
large rallyat Woodsboro. No doubt this
will be followed up by the Lee people,
and so we can expect exciting times until
the primary. We trust that both sides
will remember that this is a family con-
test and that all the rules of political
primaries demand unqualified support at
the polls of the victor. Let tight rein
be held on passion and feeling and do not
rush in too readily where even angels
might wisely fear to tread. The plat
form and qualification of both candidates
seem to us to be the matters that should
receive more attention than whether Mr.
Lee wants the position just to appoint
friends to office or Mr.. Harrington to
further the political ambitions of John
Walter Smith.

The Hon. W. T. Warburton. of Cecil
county, on the Eastern Shore, is very
active candidate for the Republican NOM
nation for Governor He was former
floor leader of his party in the House of
Delegates at Annapolis. Mr.. Warbur-
ton has been on a still hunt throughout
the State, and claims that he has quite
following. He is maintaining very
even relations with Governor Goldsbor
ough and o E. Weller, his Republican
rivals for the nomination, but at the same
time he is not letting any grass grow
under his feet in his efforts to rally to his
standard prominent voters in all sections.
The Republicans may be little bit
amused at the fierce contest now being
waged in the Democratic ranks between
the Lee and Harrington forces, but when
they survey their own ranks and figure
on what might happen in their guberna
torial contest, things are not quite so
bright and cheerful. The fine hand of
former Senator w. B. jackson has not
exactly made itself manifest except that
it seems to be on the side of O. Z. We'll
Ter, and it is also to be noted that former
State Senator John p. T. Matthias of
this county, who is a very active candi.
dale for the office Of Clerk of the Court
has allied his strength and influence with
that of Governor Goldsborough, who,
whilst he has not made formal an
nouncement. is regarded however as be-
ing in the field for denomination. It is
said that Mr.. jackson has expressed his
opposition 70 the Executive again seek
ing the honor of heading the ticket be-
cause OF the failure in the past of any
Governor of Maryland succeeding him,
self, and also because of the enemies the
Governor was forced to make through
the distribution of patronage SO it
seems that all is not love and harmony
in the ranks of the Republicans, no mat
ter how tense the situation is in the
Democratic ranks. The chances are
that there will be an even break in high
feeling after the primaries, unless the
Republicans demonstrate some unknown
qualities, the existence of which do not
appear upon the surface at present. In
various sections Of the State the lines are
drawn also, and the Republican party
men are expressing themselves very
strongly in favor of one or the other of
the candidates, thereby making strong
line-ups amongst local candidates. It
will be very wise and sagacious candi
date in many places who can absolutely
maintain neutral attitude on the cues
ton of State offices, as much pressure
will be brought to bear upon them, for
political advantages, to bring them out in
the open. Were it not for this factor. a
stronger line up would be noticed all
around.

The weather continued generally favor

crop Is making normal advancement in
the central and northern districts, while
harvesting is progressing under favorable
conditions in the southern portions. There
is no complaint of insect activity. but
locally the growth is too rank. Grain Is

and rain caused some damage in eastern
Kansas. In the spring wheat belt, despite
the continued unseasonably cold, wet
weather over much OF the belt, the crop
is in satisfactory condition, although
growth is somewhat retarded. In the
corn belt the weather continued too cool
and wet, interfering with planting. re-

generally not encouraging, except in the
south, where crop is IN good condition.
