nstead of sticking to the subject tries
to draw attention away from it by pre
tending to be very much shocked at a

28 vears he was sent to the Maryland
legislature and during the 60 years that
have elaDsed since then he has held

jrlft of the people of his state. At 29
rears of age he became comptroller of
he state, in 1848 he was made United
States senator to fill an unexpired term.
In 1871 he was elected governor of
Maryland, but before the expiration of

Six years ago he was elected city so
licitor of Baltimore. On the death of
Senator Gorman In 1906. Mr. Whyte was
again sent to the United States senate

evidence of Senator Whyte's long pub
lio career it Is 'not without Interest to
note that he is the only survivor of
the United States senators who voted
against the fifteenth amendment to tha
constitution, conferring upon the negro

Russia has ever nad in tne nistory or
the great empire.
Revolution and discontent, like the
worm In the bud, are gnawing at the
vital principles or many governments.
Heretofore there has been power enough
to suppress them, but, with the conserv
ative tendency of the age, wicked ele
ments have gained mightily In strength
and numbers. Their agents have now
little hesitancy in entering into con
spiracies sgainst governments, rulers,
oornoratlons and Individuals; and the
time has come when the power of gov
ernments and tne supreme autnoruy or
the law must be exerted to restrain and
nimlah revolutionists and evildoers.
If laws are wrong, repeal thera. If
they are right, execute them. If
edicts of rulers are oppressive, rulers
must recall them. If they are Just to
their subjects, they should enforce
them.
Compel respect for all legitimate au
thority. Punish members of organisa
tions for overt and illegal acts without
regard to the Importance of the perper
trators. Protect all men In their rights
under the laws of their country, whether
they be millionaires or paupers. Pre
vent persecutions of Individuals of. every
character whatever, and tnereoy uis
charge the responsibility of every gov
ernment for its people.
