The Hobson Sheppard Resolution

A meeting of the Rules Committee
of the House of Representatives has
been called for Saturday, December y
to consider rule to provide for the
immediate consideration of the Nat
ional Prohibition Resolution. While il
is impossible for anyone to say posi-
lively that the rule will be reported
and adopted, yet it seems fairly cer-
tain that such will be the case. Every
thing points to favorable action by
the committee and as majority vote
will adopt the rule it looks as if the
rule will be adopted.
The rule cannot be reported prof.
ably before the l4th, and will probab-
ly not come up until December IS. If
this should be the case the Prohibi-
ton Amendment will, in all probabi..
ity, come to a vote on the 18th or 18th
of December as Congress will prob
ably adjourn for the Holidays about
December 10.

Christmas Appeal To All Americ ans

In view of the countless appeals
both national and local which have
been made to American sympathy in
behalf of the victims of the war one
can only plead the unreasonable eX-
tent and pathos of the Belgian tragedy
to warrant the addition of still ano-
Their to the list. And the poignant sor-
row of the situation is not lessened by
the thought that the sum total of all
the funds collected here and in Eu-
rope can only in very small part-so
vast and increasing the need-assuage
the sufferings of Belgium's unhappy
people while no money contribution
whatever can atone for the loss Of
Louvain and a score of fair Belgian
cities lately radiant with the splendor
and glory of centuries.
The Dollar Christmas Fund in be-
half of which | appeal as Treasurer is
cause which should find warm re-
spouse in the hearts of all Americans
doubly blessed in their isolation and
detachment from the vortex Of horrors
and bloodshed and agony of the battle
fields in Europe. 1t is an effort organ
lied with the approval and support of
some of our most respected and rep
resentative citizens to capitalize por-
ton of our Christmas bounty and good
will in behalf of the most afflicted
and destitutd of Belgium's stricken
population, tn COMMITTEE including
Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, Melville
E. Stone, Col. George T. Harvey, Geo.
T. Wilson and Dr. VIM. T. Hornady.
No matter how numerous and insistent
the appeals for aid, Americans, feel
sure, will not refuse to subscribe to a
Fund which will help during the
Christmas season to spread a ray Of
sunshine over the homeless refugees
of storm-tossed country. This Dol
lar Christmas Fund appeals to one
and all irrespective of creed or race
and more especially to those who have
not yet contributed to any existing
fund. 1t is in complete sympathy
with every other appeal in behalf of
Belgian refugees and differs from

Farm Laborers

l.. Wethered Barroll, sos Keysar
Building, Baltimore, will be in his Of :
flee on December IA and Is, and will,
on those two days, be in position to
supply the farmers of this county with
an unlimited supply of German farm
laborers and household help. 1t is
impossible to get female help to leave
the city at this time, but there will
not be any difficulty in getting good
men to do work on the farms.
Til wages paid at this time to this
help is approximately $40 a month
and we advise anyone who is in need
of help for the winter to call and see
Mr.. Barroll with reference to thi.
matter.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1914-12-12

others appeals only in the sense that
the total sum received will be for
warded to a special Christmas contri-
button from the people of this coun-
try to the destitute people of Belgium,
an expression of sympathy with sor-
row from one people to another and a
tangible proof that Christmas good
will even in these days of strife and
bloodshed has not disappeared from
the earth.
1t is estimated that close upon two
million people with breaking hearts
have fled from their country leaving
shattered homes and hopes behind.
The flight of the innocent, the unfor-
tunates, the women and children, the
aged and helpless, from their Father
land presents one of the most agoniz-
ing and appalling pictures of human
misery in the annals of history an
cient or modern. Tens of thousands
have already found home in Eng
land, other thousands are in Holland
and still! other unnumbered thousands
are wandering in France. The record
of misery compiled from imperfect
statistical information is still far from
complete but it may be said with alb
solute truth that despite all govern
mental assistance and private charity
in Europe there are still many thous-
ands of families in actual want. And
the number tends rather to increase
than diminish. 1t is for these dis
tressed ones we make special appeal
to one and to all to send a dollar
more if you can-as a special Christ
mas gift from America. Such a gift
will surely be remembered by the ben
efciaries long after the war has ceas-
ed and no mans Thanksgiving Or
Christmas day will be the less happy
because in some cases the gift may en-
tail some measure of personal sacri-
fee.
In England a similar fund called
"The Shilling Christmas Fund" has
been started. Lord Burnham is the
President and he has cabled that the
conditions of want are unspeakable. .
All the money collected here, as in
England, will be presented at Christ
mas and will be applied for purposes
Of relief in the way of food and shelter
after consultation wi htthe officials of
the Belgian Government. We hope
with your aid to rember every dis
tressed Belgian man and woman, not
forgetting the fatherless babes-"The
Orphans of War" | repeat, therefore,
with great earnestness, send along
your dollar bill-and send more if you
cam All contributions should be ad-
dressed to the Treasurer and each will
be promptly acknowledged.

UP THE HILL AND DOWN AGAIN

IF the visit of the State Tax Com
mission to this county last Friday is
a sample of what its tour of the coun-
ties of the State has amounted to,
then let US hope the Commission is not
charging the expenses of its tour up
to the taxpayers. That would be
rubbing it in with vengeance.
The Commission reached the Court
House about 3 O'Clock and left about
4:30 and if that hour and half was
profitable to them or anybody else,
then we hereby renounce once and for
all our ideas of what constitutes a
business mems conference along bus;-
ness like lines. 1t was a case of
marched up the hill and then march
ed down again" and we couldn't help
wondering why a great big touring
four big husky men over hundreds #
miles of State highways for so pitiful
an exhibition. If anyone objects 20
this spirit of levity in our discussion
of the Commissions tour, permit us
to say that we will be glad to regard
the Commission and it's performances
with some degree of seriousness and
respect, when the Commission shows
itself able to command the same. The
only thing that we could regard at all
seriously in relation to the Commits
sion, as it presented itself to us on
Friday last, was the thought of the
thousands of dollars the people must
pull out of their pockets to pay for
THAT.
The Editor of the WING, as the
Senator from Cecil, voted, and voted
all alone, against the Bill creating this
State Tax Commission, because he be-
lieved the bill would result in nothing
but the creation of another political
machine at the expense of the already
overburdened taxpayer. We shall he
very, very glad to have our fears and
predictions proved groundless. But
we are not hopeful. 1t looks to US like
it was going to be simply another
case of creating another highly ex-
pensive Commission in order to pro-
vide lot more political jobs for the
faithful and nothing, let US add in
this connection, has more character
lied the State Government of Mary
land in the last few years, than the
rapid and shameless multiplication of
high-salaricd Offices which are chiefly
valuable as political "plums". There
is where lots of our money goes and
where high taxes come from.
"Oficialdorl" is one of the greatest
and most irritating burdens ever foist-
ed upon the back of any community,
and it is time the people of Maryland
were arousing themselves to throw it
off. The politicians will never help
you-it's clover for them. The people
must show resentment, so loud and
deep, that their representatives will
have to heed
