The Legislature is winding up its ses-
sion this week in whirlwind of bills. It
is stated there were I,776 bills Of all
shades and compilations fathered at this
session. Ofthis number hundreds have
been killed, while other hundreds are
being crowded through this week under
high pressure, and many snake may be
expected to wriggle through with them.
Among the measures of State wide i'm
portance that were yet to be disposed Of
at the beginning of this closing week OF
the session were: Statewide taxation,
penal reforms, initiative and referendum,
workingmen's compensation, home rule,
race track legislation, and goodness
knows how many others.
So we'll has the lobby representing the
Havre de Grace and Laurel race track
gamblers played the game at Annapolis,
in opposition to any and all legislation
on the race track subject, that it looks
like an adjournment would be reached
with complete victory for the gamblers.
After a prolonged and bitter fight,
during which much log.rolling was in.
du1ged in, road legislation was finally
disposed of last week. by the passage Of
the Price State Roads bill, which carries
with it loan Of S., 600, 900, to be issued
the next two years. Of this amount the
sum of $4,000, 900 is to be used in the
counties to complete gaps in the main
arterial system of roads, and $1,000, 900
is allotted for Light street bridge, Balti-
more, aud the city streets, all money to
be spent directly by the State Roads
Commission.

GREAT STATE TEMPERANCE CON
VENTIoN FOR MARYLAND.
STATEWIDE And Nation Wide Pro-
hlbltlon On the Way

With prohibition advance in Europe
the sensation of the hour; with o states
of this union under statutory prohibition;
with seventeen in which so per cent. or
more of the population is under no IL
cense; with thirteen in which IS per cent
is under no license; with only nine license
states in the entire union; with base ball
men, railroad and other Industrial cor.
porations forbiddipg absolutely the drink
ing of intoxicants by their employees; with
powerful ne Wspapers declaring Tor pro-
hibition; with great trade organizations
asking for national prohibition; with
breweries forced out of business, by lack
of patro aage, and with the liquor traffic
itself recognizing the imminence of its
doom, it is not difficult to interpret the
signs of the times as meaning the quick
overthrow of the legalized traffic in strong
drink throughout the country.
In tune with the purpose of the age,
and in harmony with thei program for
national prohibition the temperance for.
ces of Maryland will unite in great state
wide Prohibition Convention to be held
in the City of Baltimore on M ~ 1914 IS,
1914. This Convention is called for the
purpose of discussing, formulating and
setting in motion forces which will secure
state wide prohibition for Maryland.
The clock has struck, the time is pro-
pitious, the means are at hand. the forces
are aligning for the fight and victory is in
Isight.
The get together spirit concerted
into resolute purpose and wisely directed
along legitimate channels will undoubted-
ly secure for this state Legislature in 1916
which will not only ratify the proposition
for national prohibition, but will also
permit the people of Maryland to vote for
Statewide Prohibition.
| Speakers of both local and national
reputation will be present at this Conveu
tion. The various temperance organiza-
tons OF the state will be fully represent
ed. They are united now as never before,
perhaps, in the history of this movement
and splendid encouragement is being
given to the temperance forces by the
capitalization of sentiment througout the
state in the interest of this great moral
movement.
West Virginia has voted dry by an uu-
precedented majority Virginia will un-
doubtedly go dry at the election to be
held in September next. Delaware is
two thirds dry. Pennsylvania is stirred
as never before in the history of the ma
ton. Candidates for public Office from
all parties are climbing upon the water
wagon. Shall Maryland be- me the
dumping ground of every swiliery driven
from her border states?
From every section of the country
comes the triumphant shout, ''The Liquor
traffic is going!" Maryland must fall in
to line. This convention will be the open
ing gun of the great fight in this state.

and sufficient reason that the projectors
of the move refused absolutely to permit

it should have been, as the taxpayers oil

Spare the Gamer and Spoil the
Child.

DIR. Edward N. Chopper, the National
Child Labor Committees Secretary for
the Northern States, has written Cover
nor Goldsborough urging him to veto the
bill reducing the age limit for cannery
children from IL to 10 years. He refers
to the TACT that three of the leading can
merry States,-New York, Ohio and I'LL
nois,-apply the same age limit to can
neries as to other factories. He notes
also that while the Maryland Legislature
has taken this backward step, Kentucky
has been moving into the front rank
among all the States with her new child
labor law. The text of the Secret ry':
letter to Governor Goldsborough follows
The National Child Labor Committee re
spectfully urges you to veto the bill recently
passed by the Maryland Legislature providing
for the reduction of the age limit for the EN-
ployment of children in canneries from IL tt
10years.
We view the passage of this bill with alarm
because of the possibilities for exploitation o.
little boys and girls which it would open up
States where the canning industry has larg,
interests as New York, Ohio, Illinois anC
others have repudiated the theory that ths
canneries should enjoy more privileges in tn,
matter Of child labor than other lines of work
and have set the same age limit for such &C
equations as for other kinds Of factory work
namely IA years. In fact the State Of Ohio
now has an age limit OF Is years for boys anG
16 years for girls in this work as well as In al
other gainful occupations. Kentucky has just
passed q new child labor law which provides
u IA year age limit for the canneries as wei
as otter Industries and fixing an eight houl
work day for all children under IS years. YoI
will recall that New York State until las
year made an exemption in favor of canneries
but found through bitter experience that thii
was most unwise and consequently repealel
that exemption.
We understand that many of the Gamers o.
Maryland are in favor of the IL year age limi
for children and have actually appeared be
fore the Legislature at Annapolis protesting
against the adoption of the 10 year limit.
We earnestly hope, you viii see your way
( clear to veto this bill which we regard as
vicious measure, aud thereby retain Mary
lands position In the field of child protection
Inasmuch as your State now fixes q IA veal
limit for most gainful occupations and grants
a special exemption IN favor OF the Gamers o.
IL years for children, we see no reason why
tl,fs exemption should be further extended
and they be allowed to exploit children of tbs
tender age Of 10 years.

Prosperity 10 communistic.

A man cannot prosper in any honest
business without benefting the COM

not induce men to deal with him with

taking all the transactions of life to-

to others must, on the whole, be equal
