GREATEST FIGHTER
IN THE NAVY
Continued From Page One.

breadth of 95 feet 2h inches on load
water line.
Ten fourteen-inch guns, capable of
firing 14OO-pound shells. will consti-
tute her principal armament. Two
three-gun turrets will be among her
defenses. One of these largest of tur-
rets will be on the forecastle deck
along with a turret from which two
big guns will be pointed. Another
twO-gun turret will sweep the quar-
ter deck and astern of this will be the
other three-gun turret. The turrets
are arranged to make complete revo-
lutions, SO hat the entire battery Of
the big guns a be concentrated on
an enemy approaching from either
side, forward or aft.
Besides her big fourteen-inch guns,
the Nevada will have distributed
about her decks tWenty-One hve-inch
guns and minor armament such as
one-pounders, three-pounders. three
inch field pieces and machine guns.
The NeVada's armOr renders her
among the strongest battleships in the
navy. Her belt is 1874 inches thick
and will extend 400 feet along either
side of the hull. These plates will ex-
tend 813 feet below the waterline and
8 feet above the waters surface. There
are two protective decks as a safe
guard against plunging fire, one 3
inches and the other IN inches.
While the Nevada will represent the
last word in American sea power, the
new British ~battleship Queen Eliza
beth will carry a more formidable ar
mament Of no less than eight 15-inch
guns. This sea Fighter probably will
be commissioned the first Of next year.
The Nevada is a contemporary of
the British warship, Iron Duke. The
Iron Dukes displacement is $4,000 tons
and she carries ten 1872 inch guns.
The Nevada's speed is estimated at
Iron Dukes. Although the Nevada's
armor is thicker than that Of her
British contemporary, it is not spread
over so great an area of side. The
British warrior has a secondary bat
terry of sixteen 6-inch guns while the
Nevada's will consist of t~wenty-one
5-inch guns. These questions of dis
tribution of armor and the relative
Importance Of the number and caliber
of guns are two problems on which
the naval eXT'erts of the world are not
in complete accord.
The Nevada will burn oil only, and
her engines will have an indicated
horsepower Of "a, The fuel oil will
be carried in the double bottom Of the
ship, this effecting the economy Of
space over the old arrangement which
called for extensive coal bunkers. Her
contractors promise to have the new
battleship completed by Jan. %,

The Deciding Voice.

The Popular Magazines: In a bust
ness mems club in a Western town
there sprang up two factions, one
which criticized the steward because
he did not provide the members with
good meals, and one which defended
him holly.
The dispute got fiercer and fiercer.
Half the club wanted to fire the stew
ard at once The other half said he
was efficient.
Then, without warning, the steward
himself decided the momentus ques-
ton.
One day at lunch time a member OF
the club asked the waiter:
where's the steward?'
He amt here" replied the waiter.
"He said he was going down the
street to get something to eat"

A Temperance
ak to Voters
BY
JASON KEEP

upon the same footing as ordinary
commodities of life The Supreme
Court of South Carolina.
From the medical journals. we find
that alcohol taken into the system tears
down the tissue of the body, weakens
1t and makes it unable to withstand or
throw off disease; that it destroyes
the cells of the brain, dulling the in
tellect, leaving one less able to dis
crlmlnate between right and wrong;
that 1t incopacitates one for work,
thereby bringing misery hunger and
distress upon wife and children; that it
unsettles the reason and at last sends
one to an asylum or drunkard's grave
From the statement of judges and
district attorneys that it causes fifty
per cent. of the divorce, fifty per cent.
OF the paupers eighty per cent. of the
criminal court work and ninety per
cent. of the murder and suicides.
That 1t takes an active part in politics
and is ever ready with money, promises
and threats to intermidate and debauch
our public servants.
That 1t is the incubator and brooder
of vices; that it sends 1852, 600 poor
souls to drunkards graves each year in
the United States, the land of the free
and the home of the political boss, and
collects $4,000, 900, 900 in cash, from
the people and in return fills their
asylums, jails, penitentries, and poor
houses.
Great Guns! and we tried to regulate
it; to hold it down so that it would ruin
only part of the people, and the ba lance
could work hard and support them.
The system Of license is an attempt
to regulate the traffics, but after long
and thorough trial, has proven unable
to mitigate the evils of the saloons.
1t must be blotted out. Prohibition is
the only solution of the problem.
Citizens of Garrett county, think
this matter over carefully. 1t means
much to you and your children. Get
busy and help to advance the cause of
humanity and right, by helping to re-
move the greatest menace to all man
kind, worse than the Great White
Plague; worse than all other diseases,
for it is the cause of most of them.

Square Deal.

All good Americans believe in fair
play and insist on a square deal Every
fair minded thinking man should be OPP
posed to license, either high or low, up
on the principles of fair play.
If the saloon as an institution is right,
if it works no harm to the community,
then it should be as free and unhamper-
ed in the pursuit of trade as any other
line of business.
1t would be unfair to make man pay
$500 license each year for the privilege
of selling groceries, while at the same
time permitting others to sell hardware,
clothing, dry goods and other commo-
dities without paying one cent for IL
cense. 1t is unfair and unAmerican to
discriminate between different lines of
legitimate trade.
| Now do not loose track of this great
truth-that the cornerstone in the foun-
dation of free government is this
principle:-The greatest good to the
greatest number of people.
If the saloon, as an institution, is
right and works no harm to the COM
munity, then it should be free to do
| business without restrictions except
those governing all other lines of legi-
innate trade.
If 1t is wrong, if it works harm to the
community, then it cannot be made
right by the consideration of so many
dollars.
Right is right, and wrong is wrong,
and you cannot make wrong right by a
tax.
You cannot make it right to commit
murder by causing the murderer to
procure license before committing the
! crime.
If the saloon is wrong, if it works
harm to the community, then it should
be blotted out and fumigated by the
health department just the same as any
other disease breeding spot.
That there is a discrimination be-
tween this line and others, would, on
its face, lead one to suspect that there
was a reason for so dong. Let US in
vestigate. Here is starter.
Liquor in its nature is dangerous to
the morals. good order, health and safety
of the people and is not to be placed

An organized effort is being made in
Baltimore city and Baltimore county to
take militant measures for destroying
the disease carrying insects. This sum-
mer is branded as a genuine mosquito
season. The physicians urge the people
to get rid of every poorly drained water
pipe or gutter. Danish tin cans which,
when half full of water breed mosquitoes
by the thousands, and put coal oil into
places where it is not possible to en-
tirely drain off the stagnant water. In
spector Woodall made a dashing raid
on number of pools and swampy
places on the outskirts of Baltimore
and spread petroleum over the water,
thereby insuring the death of every
embryo mosquito therein. 1t is up to
every householder to swat the fly and
kill the mosquito and destroy its breed
ing places and thus avoid possible cpl
demic of typhoid fever.

RESUME Of COUNTY CAMPAIGN.
Complication of Expenditures and
Results of Suffrage Campaign
In Garrett County.

A campaign may be rich in the pro-
pagation of suffrage ideas; it may be
inspiring to the participants; but unless
it increases the strength of the organi-
cation by enrolling members and gain
ing chairmen of election districts, its
value is indefinite.
In the history of suffrage work in
Maryland, the Garrett county hike
breaks all records for cheapness and for
practical results. The following facts
will show what was done in Garrett and
what can be done in any well-organized
campaign:
Distance travelled miles ......... 125
Number of meetings ............ q
Attendance at meetings. .... .... 6l02
Literature distributed mo. pieces $3.50
New members gained. .......... 800
Number of Suffrage News sold " 303
Number of mixer" postals sold. 100
Four women were found during the
campaign who expressed willingness
to go on the Board of the local league
and to work up an organization in their
vicinity. 1t cost two cents to reach
each person with suffrage arguments.
Until another county makes a new
record, Garrett will hold the champion
ship in campaigning, for in two weeks
the mixers enrolled eight times the
usual membership at cost of 500 less
than the usual expenditure.
Kitzmiller holds the record for num-
Der of members gained. rs people hav-
ing been enrolled as sympathizers.

Mr. Prick 's'agent and asked for a lease
on the cottage for the summer for the
President and his family, but he was
told that he was just few hours too
late. That very morning William Wal
lace Spence, the nonogenarian capitalist
of this city, had closed the lease and
was then preparing to take possession.
Mr.. Spence is now installed in the cot
tage with his family.
Those to whom the circumstance was
related humoronsly said it was an apt
application of the Presidents policy of
"watchful waiting" Had he only
acted little more quickly both he and
MARYLAND might have been the gamers

finest country homes in the State in
which to spend his summer and Mary.
