MARYLAND VOTE AGAINST
SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT
Rejection of Federal Provision for
Women's Ballot Rights Is by
Big Margin in Assembly.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, February is
The Maryland general assembly yester-
day decisively rejected the federal
amendment for woman suffrage In the
Senate the vote was IS against. and 3
for ratification, in the House 464
against and So for ratification Big
delegations of suffragsts came down
from Baltimore. headed by Mrs. Donald
Hooker. The committee on federal re-
lations heard both sides.
Judge Harry Covington argued for
the suffragists and Judge Oscar Lesser
for the antis.
Mrs. Hooker also sought Gov. Ritchie
she appealed in vain. The governor
told her that he could neither aid nor
prevent the ratification of the amend
ment. as the matter would not come to
him for approval or disapproval. Then,
again, he declared his party. the demo-
cratic party, had incorporated in the
platform plank opposing woman suf-
frage and he regarded it as incumbent
on him if he did not intend to abide
thereby to so state before the election.
AS was expected, the bulk of the vote
for ratification was furnished by the re.
publicans.
The platform adopted by the demo-
cratic state convention that nominated
Mr.. Ritchie for governor last year con-
tained a plank declaring against woman
suffrage.

of framing a treaty of peace. and
knew that it had no authority to re-
solve itself into constitutional con-
vention. Secretary Lansing. it now

His loyaly to the President only fully
appears when it is considered that he
evidently placed 1t above his dislike for
the schemes of world control which
had been thrust upon the conference.
1T may be Secretary Lansing was
misled by the espionage act. getting
the impression that it prohibited any
one from forming or expressing any
opinion different from that Of the
President This delusion still persists
in many quarters.
Chance for "Peace in Europe"
"One of the best things that the
President has ever said is his recent
announcement that II the agreement
for settlement of the Adriatic contro-
versay was carried out he would with
draw from participation in European
affairs. If the allied representatives
will only buck up with their backs to
the wall and fight for the agreement
they have made we may at once have
peace in Europe. Of course it will be
hard on America. We can no longer
boast that when there Is dangerous
work to do we are the first that are
called on to perform it. 1t might even be
that we would be denied the privilege
of remitting a little item Of $3.50, 000,-
600 of interest on European loans. 1t
mi sht even be that we would be de-
prived of the honor Of helping to
guard the AdfiAtic and would lose
the opportunity Of raising an army to
police Turkey.
But stin there is not certainty
about this. The President may yet
gain his point"

Tt Is such a situation that gives the
title "Heliotrope" to the new photo
pIay coming to the Crescent theatre

a convict-a "lifer"-known as He

'The rockbound lakes to the north

do not wholly satisfy those who travel
abut on pleasure bent in the summer

"They appreciate the scenery, but
when it comes to disporting them
selves in the crystal waters they
want the sandy beach, and nothing
but the sandy beach will do-and
sandy beaches are f ew and far
between at the northern lakes"
We beg to differ with the sold Man
Hereof" and will state that not only
are the "rockbound" lakes of this
section of the Playground of a
Nation" supplied with sandy beaches
but that the people from all parts
of the United States are making use
of them, There are a hundred or
more lakes in the immediate vicinity
of Ely and each and every one has
bathing beach besides unsurpassed
scenery. Come up some day and
take look around and we will show
you coolies and coolies of people, old
and young, making use of the finest
