A while for a Time.

A Cleveland school teacher writes
that she asked her class what was
the difference between the express
sions, "a while" and "a time," says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Nobody
seemed to have any ideas on the sub
ject. Finally the light Of intelligence
was seen to shine in the eyes Of one
little boy, and the teacher called upon
him to save the intellectual honor OF
the class.
II know, teacher!" he cried eager
ly. when papa says he's going out
for a while, mamma says she knows
he's going out for time!"
That's one way of looking at it.

To Enter III. 8. Senatorial Contest,

The Anti-SaloOn League announces
its Intention Of taking a hand not only
IN the election of the next legislature
but in the selection OF the two United
States Senators from Maryland The
passage of the Interstate LIQUOR
shipment bill, designed to prohibit
the interstate shipment Of liquor in
tended to be used in violation of the
law of the state into which it il con-
signed, is of vital Importance to Mary
land and will determine to a large
degree the effectiveness not only Of
present but future restrictive legisla-
ton.
The League announces that 1t will
not enter into any deal with any
party, but that if the organization of
the Democratic party continues its
stupid subserviency to the liquor
traffic, and the Republicans and Pro
gressives will get together and de-
clare for the local option bill and
thereby offer the League its only
chance of securing a legislature fav-
Orable to the bill, the League will
support such alliance and enable it to
capture both United States Senators,
provided it selects for this purpose
men who are right on the interstate
liquor shipment question.
The League also announces that liz
the local option bill Is beaten this
time, regardless of the reason, the
League will start at once for state
wide prohibition. This policy was de-
termined upon last spring.
Many OF the enthusiastic League
supporters are urging the manage.
ment not to wait two years, but to
start for state prohibition this time.
The League management believes that
this would be premature, but that an
other local option defeat will SO in
cense the people as to insure the
speedy passage OF an amendment and
its adoption by the people, and really
get prohibition more quickly than to
attempt 1t before the time Is ripe.
