BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 10

' BALTIMORE, Feb. 1910 p. N.
Every day seems to bring out new opposition
to the restrictive temperance bill now before
the Legislature. The friends of temperance
themselves are beginning to exhibit some
alarm, fearing the bill might pass. When l
say the friends of temperance, mean those of
our very best citizens, who, though not ultra,
are advocates Of sobriety and prudence in all
things. The Baltimore American, a journal
whose course has always been marked with ad-
mirable judgment, and paper welding power
full influence, has very justly dissented from
the bill in question. There is now no proba-
bility whatever that the bill in its present
ultra shape can possibly pass If more strin-
gent penalties were enforced upon drunken
ness, and the license law properly abridged
and amended, a vast amount of coed might be
accomplished. Let this be done first, il will
be one advance towards better state of things

citizen, Jacob Albert Esq. is now lying dan

cry. Mr.. Albert, as you may be aware is,
