TO ENFORCE LAWS
Blue Laws to Be Enforced and

day Gayeties.

Washington folk who are won't to seek
Sunday recreation at the exclusive Chevy
Chase Club. Of the big resorts at Glen
Echo and Chevy Chase Lake. have felt
the heavy hand Of the Maryland blue
law. This grim statute provides that
nothing shall be done in Maryland on
Sunday. except what Is absolutely neces-
sary. Eating is about the most exciting
amusement open to the public, and II
one desires TO wear shoe shine to
church. he must get II Saturday night.
Sheriff Clifford L. Howard, Of Mont
eomery County, has announced that as
long as he is In ONCE. the law will be
vigorously enforced. He has SO warned
every establishment In the county, sep
arately, from the smallest corner pop
stand to the fashionable club of which
President and Miss Taft are members.
The famous turkey trot. the newly dis
covered horse" trot, and trotting in all
its other delectable forms viii disappear
on the face Of Montgomery County. Even
such ancient and respectable amusements
as waltzing and two-s,epping are under
the ban. No longer will the agile high
ball roll. or the cocktail wave trium-
phant In the face Of protesting piety.
Sunday will stretch Sahara-like before
the would-be reveler.
But the Turkey Trot" Is not forbidden
everywhere about Washington. Although
1t has been banned by Mai. w. w. For
sythe, commandant OF Yosemite National
Park, and at other places within gov-
eminent Jurisdiction about the country.
II still remains popular at the informal
dances at Fort Myer> Two or three
Turkey Trots" are pulled of at every
dance. and the younger dancers always
clamor for more.
The dignified terpischorean gayeties at
the White House will probably continue
to get along without II during the COM
ing season. but the same set Of young
people will ''trot" to their hearts con-
tent at the Playhouse dancing classes on
Monday nights

against him by Ruth Vallandringham.
eighteen years of age. wife of Francis
Vallandringham, a street car conductor,

their home Sunday and attacked her. She
tainted and after recovering from the
shock went to the car barns TO tell her
husband of the affair. The police were

HOMELESS AT EIGHTY.sEvEN.
Mrs. Elizabeth Fulton Too Proud to
Go to Charitable Institution.

Mrs. Elizabeth Fulton, eighty-seven
years Of age, penniless and homeless and
too proud to accept a place of abode in
any of the Districts charitable institu-
tons. was arraigned in the Police Court
yesterday on a charge of vagrancy.
1t was suggested by two young charity
workers interested in the case that the
defendant be committed to the Home for
the Aged at Blue Plains. d. c.. but the
court expressed the opinion that he was
without authority to make a committal
to any public institution. She was or
dered to the Washington Asylum Hos
pltal to await some happy solution of

Proxy" the dog, is dead, but no
proxy can take his place. for he had the
accomplishment of winking. unique
among dogs. He belonged to the little
daughter of George NJ Watkins, OF Hy-

which was aroused by the rabies scare.
His little owner, who is heartbroken
over her loss, thinks that he has strayed.
Her father has made repeated attempts

Precinct, late Sunday night while hiding
at the mouth Of q sewer on the Ana
costa fats.
Resembles Man Wanted.
Resembling the description given by
Mrs. Hoffman as the man who assaulted
her, Livingston was closely questioned
by the police. Several healed scratches
were found on Livingston, and on his
failure TO clearly account for his appear
ance at such a secluded spot the police
are steadfast in their belief that I4v-
ingston was implicated In the assault on
Mrs. Hoffman.
Justice of Peace Clark will probably
take Mrs. Hoffman to Occoquan to-day
to identify Livingston.
The capture of Livingston was brought
about by the police. who were instructed
to keep a look out for william Ashton,
who was wanted on a charge of resisting
and eluding arrest in Arlington Junction
two weeks ago.
Although first held as a suspect" Ldv-
igston was vest 81 day tried and convicted
on a technical charge of vagrancy, and
in passing sentence Judge Aukam stated
that Livingston's suspicious and danger
Gus appearance was his own conviction.

The Greatest Problem

There is no problem before the peo-
pie of such magnitude as the open
dramshop. 1t concerns the happiness
of the home-the people and the very
existence of the nation. You say that
there are other great questions before
the people, and We admit it. You say
there is the tariff question and the re-
vision of the tariff. But ask that wo-
maj you meet in tears, poorly dressed,
what is the great question before the
country today, and she will not tell
you it is the tariff, but it is the open
dramshop that is running her happi-
ness and her home.
We call your attention briefly to the
economic side of prohibition. Viewed
from the old standpoint of the fnan-
cier'enough wealth is wasted by the
drink habit to buitd and equip two
railroads from New York to San
Francisco
We are proud, and justly so, of our
educational system, of our public
schools, of our colleges, of our rapid
ly increasing halls of arts and sci
ences, but apply the lurid touch of the
'ncendiary to every n Of these
schools, colleges and halls and in
ffty-two eek we could rebuild them
all with what goes into the till of the
dramshop. Do you say in the light OF
all this great waste that this question
is so small as to be only laughed and
sneered at and made the butt of ridi.

The Work of Christian
Women

Some politicians and some newspa-
pers have been so thoughtless as to
charge the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union with being the bond
servant of a political party because it
has supported Prohibition candidates
in past campaigns. 1t would be quite
as proper to charge a reputable citi-
zen with being the blind tool of a poll
tical party because he has given pub
lie utterance to his preference for that
party. What of the work OF the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union
in politics? If that organization were
not the foe of the saloon it would be
but a sham, and it's name would be
full of deceit. 1t was born in the midst
of a woman's war on dramshops. Dur
ing the period of its existence it has
petitioned many legislatures for laws
opposing the sale of liquor. 1t has met
with countless rebutfs and ut all times
with scant courtesy. 1t has seen that
saloon-keepers and not m are
powerful in both political parties.

ish the saloon and what do you sup
pose would become of all the thous-
ands of dollars that now go into the
dramshops? All your lumber yards,
groceries and dry-goods stores would
feel the impulse Of increasing trade,
and there would be a rapid demand for
carpenters and mechanics of all kinds.
We read the other day the astonishing
fact that forty per cent of the wage
workers of the country do not own the
houses that they live in, and twenty
per cent live in crowded tenement
houses in our larger cities and towns.
Take $l50, DOC, 600 of the money worse
than wasted in drink and you could
build $50, 900 homes.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1912-08-22

Was it not natural, therefore, that the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
should give its allegiance to the third
party. which, like itself, owes its exist
ence to hatred of the dramshop? For
doing this shall it be called the party's
slave? The Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union is greater and purer
than any political party. The nan
who sheer at it or. derides it's work
either does not know whereof he speaks
or else is inspired by motives which
IRE not to his credit.
