The liquor interests OF Maryland are
a good deal alarmed over the tremendous
majority by which Virginia has been car
ried by the prohibition forces, for they fear
that it will be Maryland'S turn next. Col.
William A. Boykin. president OF the Dis
tillers and Wholesale Liquor Dealers
Association is quoted IN newspaper in
terview as saying: 1.-The ridiculous part
OF the whole business is that just as much
liquor will be consumed in Virginia as
ever"
1t is even more ridiculous for Col. Boy
kin TO try 10 make himself and others be-
lieve that his statement is true. lfltwere
true, or even hall true, The diStillerieS and
wholesale whiskey houses which he rep
reSents would not be spending millions
OF dollars TO keep the States from voting
CRY. The fact is, Col Boykin and all other
men who are IN the diSgraceful and unholy
business OF selling liquor are becoming
worse scared every day at the growing
sentiment against The unholy traffic. And
they have cause to be

RETURNS from the election in Virginia
last week show that the majority for
State wide prohibition will exceed 5000,
and in the face Of this decisive expression
OF the sentiment of the people it is said
that no contest against the new order will
be made by the liquor interests. There
are now ten States which have declared
themselves for prohibition. Maine,
North Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tenn
essee, North Carolina, Mississippi, West
Virginia and Georgia are now dry, and
Virginia is the tenth TO declare against
the saloons. Four States will vote on
the question of prohibition this fall
Ohio, Washington, Oregon and Colorado.
The chances are that the three latter will
vote dry, while Ohio will probably 60
wet. In addition TO the above, there are
fifteen other States in which 80 per cent
OF the population is under prohibition
through local option, and in the COM
paratively near future it is hoped that
these States will 90 entirely dry. They
are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho,
Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky. Louisiana, Min
nesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and YER
mont.

1T is announced that the Pennsylvania,
the Burlington and several other railroads
entering Chicago will construct depot
in that city at cost OF 500, 900, 900.
They haven't the money for such Stu
pendous extragagance, OF course, but
will as usual issue bonds TO pay for il.
Is il any wonder that the railroads ex-
perience difficulty in meeting their obi
cations, in view OF the fact that they
spend money so recklesSly? A sos, 0OO,-
600 depot would be all right ii they had
the money to build it, but it is all wrong
when they have TO borrow the money.
The railroads are always borrowing,
but they never pay anything back.

CLOTHES
Can Be Kept Long By Proper
Care

Much Of the daintiness which many
women show in their dressing is due
10 the care which they give to their
clothing. One may not spend any
more on her wardrobe than some 9TH
ers do, but she looks as if she did.
Proper care of the clothes forms so
impotant part in the art of being
well dressed that 1t has been said it
is half OF the secret.
It may be something of a tempta-
tion to throw a suit across the chair
when one takes it off hurriedly, but
that is the best time to take care of it,
10 brush it thoroughly if it is wool
suit and if it is silk or satin TO rub It
with an old silk handkerchief or a
piece OF flannel. The sooner spots are
removed the easier it is to do it. Nap
tina and chloroform are both good
cleansers for grease spots, but great
care should be used that there is no
fire in the room or even a match light
Gu uHA4l llc IOOlIl - dlItu.
1t is always better to take such work
on TO the porch, or, if this cannot be
done, TO do it before an open window,
but never with fire in the room.
When white wool suit is laid away
with French chalk rubbed over it, par
ticularly on any spots there may be,
and left until it is to be worn the
next time, it may be surprise to see
how clean it will be when the chalk is
brushed out, and if chalk is not at
hand cornstarch is a very good sub
stitute
White gloves may be quickly cleaned
in gasoline, but here again great care
must be taken that there should be no
fire in the room for some time after
ward. These gloves may be left in
the fluid for three or four minutes,
then one at a time taken out, laid
upon a clean towel and rubbed gently
and quickly with soft cloth, If the
first rubbing does not remove all the
dirt, the gloves may be dipped again

New York, May 22-Apparently
authentic reports in Progressive cir

effect that Roosevelt will fatty turn

of the leaders of the standpat element
of the Republican party for merger
of the Republican and the Progressive
parties.
He will continue to make war on
the men who directed the campaign of
former President William H. Taft for
The statement was made at the ma
tional headquarters of the Progressive
party at Washington that Col. Roose-
velt would make it his chief business

rose of Pennsylvania, Senator Calm
ger of New Hampshire, Senator Reed
Smoot of Utah and William Barnes, at
the head of the Republican party or
ganization of New York state.
1t is now believed to be certain that
Col. Roosevelt will make good the an
noancement made at the recent meet
ing at Columbus of Progressive party
leaders of Ohio that he would stump
the Buckeye state for the Progressive
ticket 1t is understood he would like
nothing better than the chance to
train his batteries on Foraker as the

situation. He has been told that For
mer Senator Foraker is about to run
away with the Republican nomination
for senator. Burton got out OF the
senatorial fight with the primary OBJ
ject of defeating Foraker, but the in
formation that he has received dur
ing the last few weeks has led him to
conclude that his retirement has not

Mr.. Burton has any intention OF be-
coming candidate himself at this
late day, but he is preparing to take
hand in the senatorial fight in order
to stop Foraker, if that is possible.
