School Code Complicates Issue

WIG pcVPAo say.
School Code Complicates Issue
And this leads up to the matter Of
the school code which appears to be
complicating the suffrage issue. The
Small town men" are against the
school code for the reason that small
town folks have been before-better
schools mean higher taxes. The con-
solidation of rural schools last year
gave certain prestige to the one
hamlet which got the school, and made
half a dozen other hamlets jealous.
The school code is, therefore, red rag
lature, and because Governor Town
send is the chief champion of the bet
ter schools movement he has the en-
nifty of these anti-school folks on
everything else he approves. Governor
Townsend is for Suffrage therefore
the anti-school folk are against suf-
frage.
The suffragists have not been slow
to point the connection between the
poor state of the Delaware schools and
the prevailing anti-suffrage sentiment
Delaware ranks thirty-eighth among
the states in education. Is that why
suffrage?
dead and Buried" Arguments Used
Poorly informed many of them must
be. Going down to Delaware is like
going back in New York State five
years ago. One hears anti-suffrage
arguments in the Delaware State House
that were thought dead and buried
long ago. Nowhere else, surely, would
one hear Senator Gormley assert that
woman could not believe in suffrage
without neglecting her home
"Does she neglect her home when
she goes to church? 2" the suffragist
gasps.
"Oh, we'll, she would have to go to
more political meetings than church
services" he answers.
1t is this state of mind among certain
members of the legislature which has
led suffragists to adopt the slogan that
Legislators must lead public opinion" /"
ut is written in the laws of Delaware
that statesman owes his constituents
his best judgment as we'll as his in
dustry," said Mrs. Ridgley. "These
men who are afraid of the opinion of
the least educated Of their constituents
to-day will find that next year these
same constituents will have grown up
on suffrage. We are telling them that
IT they are ahead of their constituents
they will be forgiven in another year
but there is no forgiveness on the
part of voters for legislator who is
behind the times. The voters will
change, but the vote on the Federal
amendment next week will live foreve,
in each mans political record"

Maine Democrats May
Adopt N. Y. Vet Plank
Snccial Diapntch tn The Tr;1s.na

Special Dsp1tch to The Tribune
AUGUSTA, Me-, March 27.-The
plank adopted by the Democrats Of New
York opposing. prohibition may be in
serted in the platform at the Demo-
cratic State Convention, which will be
held at Bangor next Tuesday, in the
opinion of party leaders as expressed
here tonight.
The leaders say that there is a great
deal Of dissatisfaction over national
prohibition, and that only few years
ago when the people Of this state
voted on the question the liquor law
was retained in the constitution by less
than 1000 votes. They contended that
some kind of a plank which would ad-
vocate the sale of beer containing 4
per cent of alcohol would be the means
of getting hundreds of Democratic
votes at the September election.
The leaders argue that the state is
Republican by 10000 or $4,000, and
possibly the tide might be turned by
offering beer platform.

Friday the dodgeball team of the
Grammar School captured first honors
at the annual State Olympic Meet. Of
the Public Athletic League. They de-
feated six teams, viz: Caroline, Prince
George. Hartford Baltimore, Wicomico
and Allegany counties teams. The
clever teamwork used by the Anna

the games. The lineup was:

the ball 2S3 feet. Eugene Clark. also
of Grammar School, captured fourth

pound class.
The 95-pound cl IS relay made
fourth place in tight race. The

Melvin Meekins, of the Annapolis

95-pourd dash. He was nosed out by

baseball throw, points; relay, /
point and dash. 3 points.
G. Ridgely, of Annapolis Grammar
School, did not enter the meet be-
cause of sickness. He is very good in
the shotput, and probably would have
gained some points for Anne Arundel.

the field. Then came the p A. L. Off
