SALOON WORRIES SHERIFF

CRIsFIELD, Md, July IA. Sheriff
Elwood Sterling stated a campaign
against whiskey sellers, which has led
to the arrest of William Nelson and
George w. Smith, both white men of
Crisfield, charged with maintaining a
floating barroom. Writs have been is
sued for number of other alleged vi
olators, and the sheriff and his depu-
ties are on the trails of all suspected
by the authorities.
Blind tigers have always hourished
in Crisield, more or less and at every
session of court this city furnishes a
number Of whiskey cases. Since the
enactment of the anti-shipping law, the
form of violations have turned from the
blind tiger to floating saloons on gaso-
line and sail boats, which secured their
supply at various points in Virginia.
Complaints have reached the officials
that vessels of various sizes were ty-
ing up along the waterfront and dispen-
sing beer and whiskey to every thirsty
one who applied for relief. One com
plant was made against the gasoline
vessel owned and operated by Captain
George W. Smith, in campany with
William Nelson, this vessel being
spoken of among the wise ones as the
Titanic. 1t was claimed that the
Titanic" secured full cargo of beer
and whiskey from Baltimore or points
on the Western Shore two or three
times week, and returning to Girls
field, tied up at one of the local docks
and operated in full blast.
After securing evidence against the
proprietors Of the Titanic, Sheriff
Sterling had writs issued for Nelson
and Smith, and their arrest followed
on Saturday.
At "a hearing before Justice John W.
Mock yesterday, Nelson pleaded guilty
to the charge and was sentenced to one
year in the House of Correction. Smith
proved that while he owned and opera
ted the vessel he did not sell any of the
liquor, and was therefore discharged.
Other arrests for violation of the local
option law are expected daily.

CURRENT PRICES
THE SCHOOL AND HOME

To emphasize the need of proper
home education and the relation of the
school to the home will be the main OBJ
ject of the fourth meeting of the In
ternational Congress on Home Educa-
ton, to be held in Philadelphia in Sep
tember next. This conference will be
one of the most Important of the year,
and viii bring together educators and
representatives of organizations inter
ested in home training and the welfare
of children from all parts of the world
Delegates from nearly every European
country already have been appointed;
delegations up to this time, and repre-
sentatives from all the large cities are
expected. The first meeting of the
Congress, held at ,Liege in 1905, under
the patronage of the Belgium govern
ment, was attended by 200 delegates,
representing 20 nations; the second was
held in Milan, Italy, in 1906, and the
third in Brussels in 1910, when the dele
gates numbered more than 5000. The
Philadelphia Congress will be held dur
ing the week of September %.
The association between the home
and the school in the matter of educa-
ti0n of children should be much closer
and more consistent and effective than
it has been in the past. Efforts in the
direction of enlarging and strengthen
ing this association should be attended
with results that would be of enormous
benefit in both directions increasing
the interest and cooperation of the
home and the efficiency Of the schools.
The educational system is largely af-.
fected by the twin evils Of home indif-
ferences. In some instances the par
ents have to practically attend to the
instruction of their children, the teach
ers doing nothing beyond giving out
and hearing the lessons. In many
other instances-far too many-parents
leave the matter to entirely to the
schools, without interest of concern.
Hearty cooperation is needed, and
when brought about to the desired ex-
tent will produce improvement and re-
form all around. The results will be
better, a sounder and a more thorough
development of children, together with
continual improvement in educational
methods. The congress to be held in
Philadelphia no doubt will impart great
impetus to the work.

fected and exposed farms, in sanitation
and. quarantine work, and in organizing
farmers to cooperate with the State and
Federal authorities. In addition funds
will be used for the production by the
department of anti-hog-cholera serum
and for the inspection and proper con-
troll Of serum prepared by private and

2. Organization of farmers. This or
ganizat1on will be made up as follows:
A leader for each township and nine
associates will be selected. Each asso-
ciate will have assigned to him an area
Of about four sections for survey. The
men in this organization will serve as
volunteers without salary, and they will
keep the United States Inspector in
charge advised concerning the conditions
in the county and will alao aid in secur-
ing the required statistics of the hog
industry.
8. Suvey.-A complete survey will
oe made to determine the number of
hogs raised and the number lost from
hog cholera prior to beginning the work
and during each year thereafter during
the life of the project.
4. Sanitation and quarantine. This
will comprise the regulation of shipment
of hogs into and out of the experimental
area, the regulation of shipments within
the area, the quarantine of infected
places, destruction of dead animals,
cleaning and disinfection of railroad
chutes, pens and unloading places, etc.
5. lmmunization and treatment with
anti-hog-cholera serum. Serum to be
applied to hogs on infected farms and on
exposed farms by the United States in
spectors in such manner as they NAV

6. Serum production. All anti-hog-
cholera serum required is to be pro-
duced and supplied by the Bureau of
Animal Industry, provided that in the
event of the inability of that bureau to
produce sufficient serum the several
States will supply the deficiency in so
far as possible without cost to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.

BALLOT
stoutIy Declares Miss Jane Ad-
dams in Admonishing
Women's Clubs.
lBy Alice Lee Moque.)

WASHINGTON, ". u, Sept. O..
The women's club movement is recog-
nized as being one Of the most potent
Influences In promoting the woman
suffrage movement in America. no
woman in this country can speak with
more authority upon the subject OF
both clubs and suffrage than MISS
Adams. the celebrated founder OF
Hull House and the noted sunraglst'
who says that In her opinion the same
women who exert themselves TO Sc
cure civic cleanliness will not succeed
in attaining the full measure OF .neil
usefulness to their community and the
country until they have secured the
ballot. In a recent address delivered
at Birmingham, Ala. Miss Adams
said:
.rCiubs can talk. and meet. and reso-
lutte, and campaign till doomsday with
out accomplishing anything, because
they haven't the power to force poll
ticians to establish the reforms which
will take the graft out of their peck
cts. Only through the ballot can wom-
en- have a hand in the conduct OF the
affairs of government. Woman suffrage
will clean cities of graft and corrup-
tion. 1t will establish reforms when
everything else has failed; 1t is the
salvation of the American mun1c1pal1-
ties"
"There is a world of truth in this
statement of Miss Addams's" says the
Woman's National Weekly of st. Louis,
Mo, and it adds pertinently: The
club women of the United States
should come to the support OF the
woman suffrage movement en- masse.
