Lite for Dis-
Senators, Congressmen and other
speakers from all the Southern
States which hive gone through
the process of disfranchising their
negroes will take part in the great
campaign now beginning in Mary
land in support of the constitution
al amendment to disfranchise the
colored voters of this State. From
present indications the Democrats
are going to make the fight of their
party's life in Maryland to carry
the amendment. All other issues
with them will be subordinated and
it will be a miscalculation to pre
sume that they are not in earnest
about the fate of the amendment.
The Democratic leaders know
full well that it means much for the
future of their party to get certain
elements out of politics. They con
trol the city and State now by a
narrow margin, but they believe
they would control it for an indefi
nite period by a wide margin should
they eliminate the illiterate negro
and the other illiterates of other
races along with them. The State
Committee will meet in Baltimore
September 2 to formally notify Dr.
J. W. Hering of his nomination to
succeed himself as State Comptrol
ler. This formality really is an ex
cuse for a conference of the party
people and for the real launching
of the campaign.
"The Democrats party of Mary
laud is united," said State Chair
man Vandiver the other day, "aud
will wage one of the most progress
ive and aggressive campaigns taat
has ever been made in Marylaud.
Our ticket throughout the State is
one of the best ever put forth by
the party and, in my judgment, is

is progressive and pledges the party
to carry out many reforms, which
will be done if the Legislature is
Democratic. The party is in good

J. Wood Clark.
Democratic Nominee for Auditor General.
T- Wood Clark was born in Indi
ana, Pa., January 7, 1S65. He was
the second son of the late Justice
Silas M. Clirk. He attended the
public schools and theu the Xortnal
School, where he was prepared for
college. In 1SS6 he graduated at
Princeton University. After he
graduated he taught Latin and
Greek in the Normal School for two
years, during which time he had
entered upon the study of law, and
in 1S91, he was admitted to practice
law aud has continued to do soever
since, first as a partner of Samuel
Cunningham, Esq., and since in
connection with John A, Scott, E-q.
Mr. Clark has always taken an act-
ive interest in politics and has been

party many times. He has also
been the candidate of his party for
many county offices and always led
the ticket. In 1S96 he was nomin
ated for State Senator and received
a very complimentary vote but a
Presidential election resulted in his
defeat by the usual majority. In
1S37, upon the death of the late A.
W. Wilson, Mr. Clark was elected
Secretary of the Board of Directors
of the State Normal School, a posi
tion he has held ever since. Upon
the o -ganizatiou ot" the Savings cc
Trust Co.. of Indiana. Pa., six sears
ago. Mr. Clark waselecteda Direc
tor aud has continued as Mich ever
since. He has filled all the posi
tions of life with great credit and
at times when the occasion required
manifested much ability in the con
duct of campaigns and business af
fairs. Altogether Mr. Clark is em
inently well prepared both by edu
cation and training to undertake
the conduct of the Auditor Gener
al's Department, should he be elect
ed. With the dissatisfaction that
now exists in the Republican ranks
he will at least make great inroads
on the usual Republican majority.

a a Us:

classes Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
and Scrauton if they have no tax
receipts they must Register on the

Ayer't Hair Vigor
Race Suicide a Blessing.
Once more Dr. Woods Hutchin
son has come to the rescue of our
much abused civilization. In Sep
tcniber Woman's Home Companion
he points out that not only are all
wrong about the race-suicide prob
letn. t ut there isn't any.
According to Doctor Hutchinson,
t.ne whole question is I efogged by
misconceptions. He says the ques
ticn is not a new one, but is very
old. An increasing population is a
sign ot civilization. As for our im
mediate forefathers, they can claim
no credit for large families, for
they either gave no thought to the
question at all, or else welcomed
children as future bread winners.
' To sum tip," he savs, '! be
lieve that the evidence is conclu
sive that race suicide, so far as it
has yet gone, has proved an almost
unmixed blessing instead of a
curse; that the race c in never again
return to the method of blind and
wholesale reproduction without
thought of the future. Xo class or
group in the community which
believes itself worthy to exist can
of course view with equanimity
any proposal to limit the offspring
of marriage to less than three, or
such l.umaer as may be necessarv
to secure the survival of that quota
to adult age, so thac the second
generation may be at least a trifle
more numerous than the first.
"On the other hand, bioloeic
morality, while deprecating the
production of children, who are
likely to be born unfit, or become
so from lack of proper support and
training, giormes ana exalts as
both the highest racial duty and the
most precious individual privilege

who are personally fit to bear and
financially competent to rear such

There is no achievement better
worth living for, r.o more valuable
legacy that can be left to the future,
no more enduring claim to honor
able remembrance, than a family of
well-born, well-reared children.
At the same time there is a
growing tendency to encourage and
promote in every possible way the

Some day
pos.Mbly we may become sufficiently
intelligent to endow this sort of
matrimony with state funds. At
all events, an intelligent direction
of race fertility, by selection of
parents and rational limitation of
the number of children, will be the
path of future progress."

A Humorous Mystery Novel in the
September Lippincott's.
The complete novel in the Sep
tember Lippincott's is a humorous
mystery story called "A Bride for
Casey." Ella Middleton Tybout,
a young writer whose literary out
put is distinguished more for qual
ity than for quantity, wrote it. The
scene is laid in New York City,
where dwell the four impecuuious
young gentlemen who are the prin
cipal male characters. It was
"Casey's own idea that he marry a
wealthy girl in order to be able 10
help his friends as well as relieve
his own straitened financial condi
tion. Yet the finding of a suitable
bride for him proved difficult in
spite of their long list of friends
and acquaintances ; for Casey was
hard to please. Finally the choice
narrowed down to three girls, all
young, lovely, and rich. But Casey
doesn't mary any of them. Yet
for fome time his existence, as well
as his friends, could scarcely be
described as lethargic. Miss Ty
bout's plot is such an ingenious one
that it would be a shame to be
more explicit here and thus spoil
the pleasure of the' many who will
read the story.
Many choice short stories, by
Mary Roberts Rinehart, Thomas L.
Masson, George Allan England,
Caroline Ticknor, Hornor Cotes,
and others will be found in the
September Ltppincott' s. Special
articles, poetry, and humorous
matter, of course.
When will the bunco business
cease to boom in these United States
of America ? By this is not meant
the Aldrich brand of wholesale
buncoing, but the common, every
day fooling of adult human beings
out of their hard-earned cash. In
Hoquiam and Aberdeen, Washing
ton State, citizens put up $60,000
in buying "territory" on the Pa
cific coast for the sale of a certain
kitchen cabinet that was the "slick
est thing In creation." The really
"slick thing" was a gang of five
promoters, who have skipped with
the sixty thousand. .
The 1909 Com Crop.
II Will be the Largest the U. S. Ever Har
vestea,
The corn crop of the United
States this ear will be the largest
ever harvested. It covers an area of
1 to, 000, 000 acres, and the yield is
estimated at 3,000,000,0 io bushels,
for which the fanner will get $t,-
200, 000, 000, in one form or
another, and here's what America
will do with the record 1909 corn
crop, The floor and gn'st mills will
take 281,000,000 bushels; exports,
225,000,000 bushels; glucose, 4S,
000,000 bushels; distilled liquors,
20,000,000 bushels; seeding for
next year, 15,000,000 bushels;
malt liquors, 11,000,000 bushels;

bushels: feed for farmers' live
stock, 2,390,400 000 bushels.
Seventeen Year Locust.
It is said that this is the season
seventeen year locusts are due.
According to reports they are
nearing the surface of the ground
in southern New Jersey. In 1892,
they appeared in great numbers in
many places.
Many are the allusions in the
Old Testament to the flight of these
insects aud the Prophet Joel (ch. ii)
gives a fiue description of their ap
pearance. The locusts were con
sidered by the Hebrews and other
eastern nations, and still are by the
Arabs, as the avenging armies of
the Deity. According to history
they do not appear in those old
countries in large numbers only on
every fourth or fifth season and are
used for food in countries where
they abound. In many towns in
Arabia they are sold bv measure.
They often destroy in their march
every particle of vegetation, whole
districts being devasted by them.
Accounts are given where rivers
have beeu blocked and many square
miles covered by them. The stench
of their decaying bodies affected
ihe air for hundreds of miles. They
have also commit'ed ravages in
America. Toward the middle of
the eighteenth century these insects
were so abundant in northern New
England that days of fasting and
prayer were appointed 011 account
of the widespread calamity caused
by them. In later years they were
very destructive in the newly set
tled states and territories.
Iu 1S74 under the name of grass
hopper they committed terrible rav
ages in Minnesota and other west
ern states destroying about one-
tenth of the grain crop.

haustive aud critical review of the
Republican revision of the tariff
upwards, in :he September Nation
al Monthly It is needless to state
that the gentleman from Missouri
calls a spade a spade and when he
says that the votes of some of the
Republican members of Congress
on the tariff were handed over to
the corporations iu return for con
