A Humanitarian Nation.

The Washington. D. c., Post truly
says: That the part that the United
States is playing in the war should for
ever establish its status as the most hu-
manitarian of all nations. The war had
hardly begun before the people of the
United States sensed the fact that it
was allotted to them to provide for the
starving, heal the sick and comfort the
afflicted in the war which has stirred
the world to its depth.
While the nations of Europe are
gripped by rage and revenge, the United
States has been teaching a lesson of
brotherhood that should leave its mark
on history. Untouched by the war.
with no direct responsibility except that
involved in universal brotherhood, the
United States has sent it's doctors and
nurses to Europe to relieve the wounded.
Moved by the same noble impulse,
many American cities are now sending
ships to Europe to relieve the starving
BelglanS.
The people of this nation are play
ing their part well-better than it was
ever played before. The generosity
that characterized the nations attitude
in disasters in the past has reached its
climax in the relief work that is the one
silver ray behind the brooding cloud
that has spread over Europe.

THE FUTURE OF.PROHlBITION.
The Result of the Elections in Garrett
and Carroll Counties Prophetic.

Whatever may be Individual opinion s
concerning the propriety of the liquor
traffic, one thing must be apparent to
all observers, says the Sentinel, of
Westminster, there is steady, if slow,
growth in the volume of opposition to it's
continuance. 1t has been agitated for
sixty years, or perhaps a little more
than that. Gen. Neal Dow, of Maine,
was the first pronounced leader in the
cause. Previous to his time moral
suasion was the general and, it might
be said, almost the only agency employ
ed in the cause of temperance and there
was a time, not so long before the
organization of temperance societies,
when there was no public or concerted
public action for the reclamation of the
inebriate. Then, along about 1910, or
possibly little earlier, the Washing
tonlan movement arose and fiourshed.
Temperance societies were organized
and public meetings were held frequent
ly and periodically, IN the churches and
school houses. That period had succeed
ed an era when the bottle on the side
boards of the we'll to do was deemed in
dispensible to hospitality, and ministers
of the Gospel would have been deemed
discourteous if they had declined the
social glass in the homes of their
parishioners. And some of them,
brilliant, able and loving men, fell,
under the fierce temptation.
The Washingtonian movement was
enthusiastic and full of the fire of
awakened zeal, but, while the flame did
not go out it became less glowing. 1t
was kindled to blaze by the organiza-
ton of the Sons of Temperance, and
while that was at itz zenith the Pro-
hibition cause was born. To what that
has grown need not be repeated. Bit
by bit, county by county. state by state,
it has extended its triumphs, and it is
still growing. Temporarily defeated.
here and there, it returns to the charge
and enlarges its borders. Taking into
consideration that most of its victories
have been won in comparatively recent
years, its early general triumph may be
looked for by many, and the Jealous
may talk about and hope for a saloon
less nation in 1920 In this they will
assuredly be disappointed. When it is
considered that less than seventy years
ago barrooms were wide open by law on
Sunday and the bibulous could quench
their thirst for half dime or the old
''fiippenny bit, p" when long since that
time bars were accessible and drunken
ness was common on election day, the
most optimistic can hardly look for
early universal prohibition. But the
leaven is working and will continue to
work till the whole lump will be leaven-
ed. The result of elections in Carroll
and Garrett counties on this subject,
on Tuesday strongly emphasizes that
opinion.

up and down the street and then sud

straighten Il brilliant red necktie that
blossomed on his shining shirt front.
In few seconds he was standing in
the doorway, ready to make sweep

Hannah Peabody.
Miss Peabody. who was plump and
good natured looking. with bright
brown eyes and rather weather beat

little man.

Miss Peabody boarded with Miss

Then Il delighted laugh broke from
the nervous lips of Miss Hannah Pea

Ananias came toward her to receive
his reward
At that moment something hap

The hOarSe boom of her whistle had
interrupted Ananias' poem. And now
as her lights neared the dock there
came the heavy wash from her wake.
There came one long, wicked wave
that lifted Ananias craft and rocked
it dizzily. Miss Peabody screamed lust

When the wave broke against the

Miss Peabody were floundering in the
water. while the two widows were
rowing madly to their rescue.
1t was En- Bevis' strong arm that
caught hold of Miss Peabody's coat
sleeve and dragged that half conscious
lady to temporary refuge in the little
boat
But to Hetty Rowell fell the honors
Of the occasion.
From the boat she had climbed to

when the Widow Rowell awOke to this
