UNCLE WIGGILY's FIRST ROSE

Uncle Wiggily had a garden in
the end of his yard beyond the
place where the clothes were hung
up to dry. Part of the garden had
vegetables, like beans. carrots, cab
bageS, lettuce and turnipS, grow
ing in it. Another part had flow
ers growing and there also were
rose bushes.
Every day, after he had gotten
away from the Fox and Bob Cat
by hiding in a pillow case on the
line, Uncle Wiggily would hop
down to his garden to see how
things were growing. He paid most
attention to the flowers, for, now
that Nurse Jane was over her cold,
she looked after the vegetables.
She had most to do with them, any
how, for she cooked them in her
kitchen.
81 ought to be getting some roses
soon," said Uncle Wiggily one day,
when he had hoped down to his
garden. "June is the month for
those flowers. I love rose with a
sweet perfume"
Hardly knowing it, Uncle Wiggily
had spoken out loud and, no SOON
er had he done SO, than he heard

LONDON, June 9. = Hampstead,
a three penny ride by bus from
oxford circus, looks exactly like
a dozen other London suburbs.
But it isn't. For, the backyard of
the Freemason pub, is a patch
of grass which makes Hampstead
unique, not only among the sub
urbs of London but all the suburbs
of the world.
The patch OF grass is lawn
billiards green. 1t is the only one
in existence, unless you care to
count those on the old 18th CEN
tury Dutch landscape prints. You'll
find lawn billiards green's on many
of those old prints, for at one
time the game was the national
sport of Holland. But it died there
as time went on, and today if you
have a weakness for lawn billiards
you've got to travel to Freemasons
pub in Hampstead. Nobody there
knows why the pubs backyard is
a billiard green. 1t just is and
always has been.
It's doubtful if lawn billiards will
ever regain its lost popularity. In
the first place, some forty or fifty
years of devoted practice is neces-
sary for proficiency. In the second,
an unWritten rule of the game
calls for each player to take pint
of ale after each shot, and such
a bountiful capacity is given only
to few. That, too requires forty or
fifty years for proficiency. I tried
it the day I chanced on the green
by accident and after four shots I
felt an irresistible urge to pick up
the balls and juggle them.
The green on which lawn billiards
is played is, roughly speaking,
about fifteen times the size of an
average billiards table.
1t is slightly bumped. One of
the novice players, a youngster in
his early sixties, told me the hump
was hardly noticeable at the start
Of the game but that with each
shot and each pint it grew in
humptitude, and toward the end of
long games the effect was sim
liar to rolling balls over a barrel.
The balls are about the size used
in polo, and very hard. In place
of the cue stick, the players use
a pole some II feet in length The
end is decorated with a small steel
hoop. The cue ball is played in this
hoop and the player, with shovel
ling motion, tosses it down the
green toward the play balls.

a voice on the other side of the
fence saying:
- also love roses. And I hope
you will give me one from your
garden, Uncle Wiggily!"
For a moment the rabbit gentle
man thought it might be the Fox
or Bob Cat coming back to get
him. But just then the moon-like,
fat face of Mrs. TWistytail, the
jolly lady pig, looked over the
fence.
"Oh, I'm SO glad it IS you!" said
Uncle Wiggily.
Well, I'm glad you IRE glad"
grunted Mrs. TWistytail "But what
is this 1 heard you saying about
roses?"
y said 1 hoped to have some
June roses on my bushes very
soon," answered the rabbit gem
tleman.
- hope you will give me a rose, +"
said Mrs. Twistytail. looking at
Uncle Wiggily out of one eye.
Why, III be very glad to!''
he exclaimed. Then, because he
was 50 glad it was Mrs. Twistytail
and not Bad Chap, he said: 81
will give you the first rose that
blossoms!D
"Oh, how kind of youl" squeal-
ed the lady pig. "Mind you don It
forget I shall hold you to thatl"
and she shook one paw at Mr
Longears.

MERRIAM,S CHOICE OK4Y

Californas new governor is smart.
Any doubt that Frank Merriam doesn't
know what it is all about is pretty we'll
dissipated today following the announce
ment of his appointment of Justus
Craemer as his private secretary yester-
day.
Mr.. Craemer, an outstanding citizen of
the state, may not be so we'll known to
the rank and file, but he is known. re-
spected and admired, by every newspa-
perman from Del Norte to San Diego and
from Long Beach back to Truckee
Far be it from US to cast any insinua-
tions on the governors appointment
We're for it. But we cannot refrain
from pointing out that the choice of
Craemer is not going to injure the COVER
nor with the newspapers of the state
On the contrary, there is every reason to
believe that it will do the opposite And
newspapermen are not peeved that the
governors first appointment came from
their ranks.
In addition to carrying on the steward
ship of the state for the balance of the
late Governor Rolphs term, the acting
governor is a candidate to stay on the
job for the next four years With
Craemer as his private secretary, the
new governor has the rail position in
the race so far as newspaper publicity is
concerned, and the newspapers still cut
a considerable figure in politics
We do not wish to infer that the news
papers of the state are going to be de-
livered lock, stock and barrel" to the
support of Governor Merriam's candi-
dacy Far from it. There will be plenty
of them ready to pepper him. 1t is the
psychology of the appointment that
stands out as clever stroke.
Mr. Craemer is a close personal friend
of the governor and has been for many
years. They understand each other and
should get along splendidly.
The governor has given pretty strong
proof that he understands the political
game His position as candidate to re-
tain office has been strengthened and he
has made himself large number of new
friends.

consisting of five members, elected by
the Assembly, this was abolished by
Amendment in 1887, when the election
of the Governor was vested in the
people and the term extended to three
years and by the Constitution of 1851
the term was extended to four years.
Changes in the Legislative and Ju-
dicial Department have been unim-
portant, except that providing for the
direct election of members of the
State Senate in 1887, and increasing
its membership from fifteen to one
for each county and separate repre-
sentation for Baltimore City.
When our government was first
established it was one in which per-
sons without property had no voice.
Members of the Senate, the Governor
and Council were voted for indirectly
by the propertied class. Most of the
other Offices were filled by appoint
ment, and the appointee served for
life. A tax for the support of religion
was allowed and only a person pro-
Tossing the Christian religion was en-
titled to hold Office. A persons prop
erty could be forfeited for murder or
treason and person accused of
crime might be made to give evidence
against himself.
Under our present Constitution
there is no such thing as forfeiture
of property. The right of franchise is
unlimited. No religious
test, except belief in God is required
of officials. No one holds his office for
life and practically all Constitutional
officials are elected directly by the
people. Stated briefly our present Con-
stitutional Government rests upon the
will Of the mass of our citizens.

One hundred and fifty-eight years
have elapsed since Maryland adopted
its first Constitution. During that per-
iod, the governments of practically
all civilized nations have undergone
substantial and radical changes, and
it is not to be wondered that during
the same period, changes have occur
red in the government of our State.
The remarkable feature is that modi-
6cations in our State Government
have been so slight.
The declaration OF our fundament-
al rights as freshmen, set forth in our
earliest Constitution adopted in 1776
have differed but slightly in the SUBJ
sequent Constitutions of 1851, 1864
and 1867. These changes have had the
effect of liberalizing the right of
franchise by removing all property
qualifications and determinations be-
cause Of race or sex. Compulsory self
determination has been forbidden I'M
der the last two Constitutions and for
fixture of property on conviction and
attainder for murder or treason was
abolished by the Constitution of 1851.
Originally only persons protesting
the Christian religion" were declared
entitled to protection in their religious
liberty, and in furtherance of this re-
stricted right the Legislature was en-
powered to lay "a general and equal
tax for the support of the Christian
religion" These restrictions upon re-
ligious liberty and equality have been
practically abolished by the later
Constitutions.
Under the first Constitution the
Governor was elected annually by the
General Assembly, and could serve
three successive terms, and was then
ineligible for four years. The State
was divided into three gubernatorial
districts and from each of these the
Governor was selected every third
election in regular rotation. These dis
tricts have been abolished and the
Governor may be reelected without
Limit. Originally there was Council
