% are turned toward Washington,
where the wheels of congress
in the executive session are expected
soon to grind out laws of great impor-
lance. There has been much specula-
ton as to what laws would be taken
up and how long the extra session
would last
According to strong indications, the
deliberations will continue all through
the summer. well into the fall, and
many political observers believe the
extra session will merge into the time
for the regular session.
Concerning the business of the SEES
sion, it is certain that the tariff ques-
ton will provide long and earnest
work for the lawmakers. 1t was on
account of the tariff as a matter of
special emergency that President Will
son called the extra session.
The Sixty-third congress is of
strongly Democratic complexion. Here
in lies another element Of great inter

years since the Democracy has had

Seed Corn tor Sale.

The corn offered for sale was
produced from seed corn that was
brought from the great corn belt
of Indiana last year, and planted
near Cambridge, Md, the result be-
ing highly satisfactory, and we wish
every farmer in Dorchester county
could plant some of the corn this
year. This corn has become accli-
mated, and in our judgment 1t
will pay handsomely to plant it. The
seed will be carefully selected, With
proper regard to male and female
ears and hand shelled. Farmers
try to improve everything on the
farm; why not improve your corn?
This corn has long ears and small
cob and stalk; natures at least 10
days earlier than our home corn.

Liquor Dealer Scorches Brewers

Pity the poor brewer With ever increasing dry
territory he is finding his lot hard because of the
activities Of the temperance forces But this is not all
his troubles. With frequency hear of
tail liquor dealers denouncng him in most bitter terms
He undoubtedly has it all coming to him. He is hard
asmaster hundreds of saloonkeepers testify who
in his clutches However, it is noteworthy that in
time of peril in spite of their differences the distllers
brewers wholesalers and retailers get together with
alacrty that is astonishing The latest TRADE against the
brewer emanang from liquor dealer appears in press
dispatch from Kansas City, No. under date of May S.
No antsaoon said harher things about the
who makes beer than is credited this liquor dealer
in this dispatch We quote the dispatch as follows:
"P H. Nolan, of New York, chairman of
the congressional committee of the National
Liquor Dealers association, unsparing in
his criticism of the brewers in address Sun
day before meeting of 900 Kansas City saloon
men.
"The average brewer in mad desire for
wealth is careless of public sentiment" he said
"He has not respect for law regulation nor public
decency. He buys church window for $Ioo and
then assumes a sanctimonious attitude. His
business is to corrupt public officials that he may
thrive Get your own leases on property. Don't
let the brewer you body and SOUL
"I'l give S. 1000 to charity if I cannot prove
that o5 per cent of the saloons in Kansas City
owned by the breweries
"The brewers of the United States are the
advance agents of Prohibition. By shipping
liquor into dry territory they offend public
conscience.
81 hope Kansas City some day will rid it
self of the influence of the parasites They

The Ever Present Question

The saloon business is always in the public
eye. If the dry doesn't keep it in the limeight
then the wet does. In these days if a candidate
for any office bobs up, the first question poked
at him is:
"Wet dry?'
Never there anything like t-a con-
tinual struggle between wet and dry with neither
able to the others point of view and both
charging that the other is throwing the monkey
wrench of discord into the delicate machinery
of prosperity.
In this way does the Freeport Bulletin of last week
introduce editorial And might add that this issue
is here to stay until it is settled right The hopeful
part of it is there neutral ground Most folks
taking sides. With which crowd would you rather
be foundthose who standing for the saloon inter
ests, with those who for the home? Every man
who is in favor of the saloon is not ack-roler or
pickpocket white SLAYER, but we do know that here
