The election of this coming fall.
although the fact is not generally
recognized, is far more important
so far as State affairs are concerned,
than any election we have had for a
great many years, and this not be-
canse of the officers to be chosen.
but because for the first time since
at least the adoption of the last
Constitution, the citizens of Mary
land have an opportunity to rein
west themselves with some Of the
power of which in their Consritu-
tion they have Invested themselves.

Constitutional amendments voted

Written for the Beacon.
a TEST OF VALUE.

eTnaps CdunuS may seem Il
trilie narrow IN his assertion that the
prosperity Of the home is the main
index of progress. Yet If you fully
understand all that home means and
all that home implies, YOU will see
that the position is sound. The
home is the unit OF society because
il is the source of Individual life
and the first ties which bind indi-
viduals together. To put it briefly;
society Is made up Of men; and
home makes the man. OF course
there are exceptions; but so far rs
the good in them is concerned, men
and women are pretty much what
their home has made them. The
evil they can pick up from outside;
but the good that is in them is
usually planted first and developed
first At home. As a rule, school
and church can hut build on that
foundation.
But what has this TO do with pro-
gress? Just this: since our public
good comes from the home life; our
public benefits and utilities will
profit us iii the long run, only so
far as they benefit the home. Good
roads, water-supply, lighting, ice
plants, bakeries, hospitals.
all are necessary, all are marks of
progress. But why? Because they
contribute To home life, they in-
crease ITS prosperity, it's stability.
We need, for instance, means of
employment for our young men:
because by them we will preserve
our home ties, and keep our families
from migration and disruption bv
moving off to seek employment
elsewhere.
On the other hand, what adyant-
age is there, what real progress, in
the development to an indefinite de-
gree of features which will DESTROY
home life, however much they NAV
offer otherwise? Millions of dol
lars have been spent in this country
on our expensive city clubs. They
oiier every conceivable convenience
for dining and lodging and loung-
ing, bnt what contribution have
they made 10 home life? To a GER
tain point they are useful, occa-
sIonaliy very necessary; but on the
scale of luxury which they frequent
iy attain shey become a menace to
home life and so "A drag on the COM
munity Our cheap amusement re-
treats, river pavilions. saloons, etc,
are ON the same line. They not
only are no.sign of progress but are
directly anti-progressive. since they
stab straight at the heart of the
home.
Of course there are institutions
necessitatcd by defects i'm home life:
asylums, reformatories, city homes,
etc. The more perfect the home
life, the less need for these. They
register progress in so far as they
register the striving to correct the
evils of defective domestic condi-
tions, aud SO ultimately to improve
home life itself; for instance, by
re-creating worthy citizens.
Not the existence or growth of
such institutions, As such. but their
cooperation with and development
of what is good in the home is the
true sign of progress.
