The Liquor Question.

"As for the liquor question:" he con-
tinued. there is little doubt that the
attitude of the democratic leaders has
tended to hurt the party. The high-license
bill passed by the last legislature and
now in force has made the saloon men
very 'grouchy, and the general public
has not quite forgotten the ugly rumors
that were circulated last winter. when
the AntiSaloon League local option bill
was put to sleep.
There is every likelihood that the
liquor question will be raised again dur
ing the next legislative fight and in that
event the fight will be directed mainly
against the democrats. because that party
was in power and controlled the legisla-
ture when the last bill was defeated
Another potent factor which will oper-
ate against the democrats IS the expos
ure following the passage of the water
loans regarding a secret agreement for
the purchase of a reservoir site. Gossip
regarding this exposure will not down.
There is not a well posted democrat IN
the city-at least not one of sound judg-
ment-who will not admit that the secret
agreement was Wretched blunder re-
gardleSS of whether not there was any
graft In the deal. No ones honesty has
been questioned but the deal is regarded
as a bad business proposition, and it ha.

Against Democratic Success.
Special Correspondence of The Star.


BALTIMORE, Md, December 10. 1908.
Although the next state election is near
| ly year off, the fight against the dis
franchiSement amendment has already
been begun by the republican leaders.
Even at this early date it is not hard to
see that the democrats are facing almost
certain defeat next fall. because three
grave questions are embarrassing the
democratic ticket of 1909. They are:
| The disfranchisement amendment.
| The alliance of the democratic party
with the liquor interests.
| Public distrust of the democratic city
administration over the secret agreement
in tie reservoir site deal and the row be-
tween the Mahool-Brown forces and the
Mahon organization.
In discussing the situation within the
democratic party one of the best posted
party men in the city said to The Star
correspondent this afternoon:
Baltimore city is against the suffrage
amendment. If the local leaders could
| have their way they would like to have
| the state organization announce that the
! loyalty and fealty of party men would
not be jeopardized by any stand that they
might take on the amendment PROPOSE
! ton.
This, however, is not likely to happen.
! Yet it would in a great measure contrib
ute toward making the city safe for the
democrats next fall. With the amend
ment on the ballot thousands of demo-
Gratis who would otherwise support the
ticket will refuse to stand by 1t, and it is
| likely that the amendment will be showed
under by majority as heavy as that of
1.Nft
Evening star., 1908-12-20

IF those fellows think they can win
easily next fall they arc making big
mistake. The present day leaders are not
meeting the situation like men of expert
ence in the game Can you imagine Cor
man or Rasin starting in campaign by
making strife within the party ranks?
Two years ago when there was no
amendment up when there was no liquor
problem when there was no question of
high license or of scandal within the par
ty. did not Rasn admit that he could not
elect a mayor? He turned the partys flu
ture over TO me- He save up because lie
did not want to sacrifice the party. But
with the Mahon crowd it is rule or ruin. >

Advertising, says Lily Herald Frost
in the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, Is
the lance with which the modern cru
sader, known as the business agent
invades the world of commerce. And
an extraordinarily effective weapon 1t
is, as the breakfast food people and
the patent medicine houses we'll know
The man woh doesn't advertise Is
soon a derelict, as idle and useless as
painted ship upon painted ocean,
When the advertiser ceases his labor
it is then that the receiver gets busy
1t is when advertising dominates
literature that one feels like protest
ing. The commercial spirit rules the
reading world and thrusts its volumes
upon it with wealth of encomiums
and a persistency that usually win.
BY such judicious exploitation books
are sold by the thousands. Their
names are seen everywhere, in shop
windows, on billboards, pIacarded along
with brands of cigars or some superior
make of whisky And they are accord
ed such high sounding phrases of mer-
It, of cleverness, of dramatic possibili-
ties, that, backed by the authors name
and the illustrators art, they present
such visions of delight that ever curl
Gus mortals must buy them just to
satisfy their curiosity.
