the first time the joke about the dog

he was invited. The time came, and
he electrified his victims with the ex-

OUR MISUNDERSTANDING

CONGRESSMAN Price, elected to
represent the nine dry counties of the
First Congressional district of Mary
land, where the temperance element
of the state is probably stronger than
in any other part, voted in the House
of Representatives the other day
against the resolution which proposed
to submit prohibition amendment to
the Constitution for adoption by the
states.
In other words, Congressman Price
refused to submit proposition which
would make nationwide prohibition
possible if the amendment were adopt
ed by three-fourths of all the States,
and his action was highly mis-repre-
sentative of his constituency.
The Eastern Shore is Democratic.
1t believes in rule of the majority.
If majority of the states, especially
if three-fourths of the states should
desire prohibition to be nationwide,
the Democratic Eastern Shore would
grant that the majority should have
its way. That is the Democratic
theory of the unit rule" put into prae-
tice.
But what is still more true is that
the Eastern Shore is for any and every
temperance measure that promises 10
remove forever the menace of the
open saloon and the traffic in liquor.
Congressman Price did not repre-
sent his constituency when he voted
against the Hobson Amendment, but
he was wholly consistent with his past
record, so those who voted for him
were not deceived by him.
AS state issue this same question
of prohibition is coming up again in
this years campaign and it is COM
ing up in such way that there will
be no possibility of beclouding the is
sue without deliberate falsehood-

AUTOS, ROADS AND HORSES"

THE Baltimore Sun is "pained to
observe" the wrath of the Hartford
Democrat on the subject of "autos
and roads and horses" That is be-
cause the editorial experience of the
Baltimore Sun is far removed from
the scenes and incidents which very
naturally call forth the wrath of the
Hartford Democrat-and thousands
of folks besides. Since the very in
ception of road building in this State
We have noticed that the people, who
are fastest and fullest with advice as
to what sort of roads the country
folks need, are the people who do not
live in the country. Strange, isn't it,
that roads built for farmers should
be such roads as set the farmers
everywhere to 'cussing?" But that
is the unhappy situation we are fac
ing in this State. 1t would greatly
relieve that situation if, as the Sun
suggests, "a track for teams should
be made on each side of the smooth
track which automobiles use" But
our road builders have not pursued
this policy and the hundreds of miles
of stone or concrete roads built by
them in this State are almost useless
for horses. This we know from first
hand experience, as we live on such a
road, and find it puts our horses out
of commission for much of the year.
The Sun reminds the Hartford De-
mocrat that it "should not assume
that automobiles have no rights as
they pay license tax amounting 10
S250,000," which "great sum is used
for the up-keep of the roads"
Of course, the automobiles have
rights, but what is paltry license tax
of S250,000, compared to the enor-
nous revenue from the taxation of
farm lands and farmers personal
property? 1t is these rights" that
have been overlooked in our State road
building, and the farmers are natural
ly and justly resentful that, heavy
taxpayers as they are, the roads
which are so necessary to their bust
ness and living, should be constructed
in utter disregard of their wishes and
interests.

Anti-Tubercu!o-i. Conference

Governor Goidsborough has issued a
proclamation calling upon all public
officials, health officials, physicians,
nurses, teachers, County Commission
ers, School Commissioners, Mayors
and other officers of cities and towns
to attend a conference on tuberculosis
to be held in the State House an An
napolis on Friday evening, January
%, and Saturday morning January %.
The purpose of the conference is to
decide upon the best course to be fol
lowed in trying to stamp out the
white plague" in this State. As the
Governor says, it is desired that all
shall awake to the profound signifl-
canoe of the existing situation.
The records of the State Depart
ment of Health show that 2,016 citi-
zensof Maryland, men, women and
children-died from tuberculosis last
year. The figures of that department
also indicate that more than 5000 peo-
pie of the State are suffering from
this dread disease and that more than
1000 new cases developed in 1914.
"The State" says the Governor, SIS

for the Hazel act declared unconstitu-
tional by the Supreme Court last sum-
mer, would restrict liquor consumers
over the age of p to one gallon of
spirituous liquor or one-eighth of
barrel of beer in any one month. In
every particular the substitute is pat
tel ned after the bill enacted by Mary
land, which resulted in the clamping
tf the cid" upon the seven counties on
the eastern shore of Maryland last
June.
Delaware's new law would become
effective May /, 1915, according to the
provisions of the bill. The repealers
aimed at the Hazel anti-shipping act
would become operative Immediately.
Both bills were given first and second
readings and referred to the commit
tee on temperance, of which Represen-
tative Hill, of Sussex county, is the
chairman.
Mr.. Hill presented the one gallon-a-
month bill, while the repeater was in
troduced by Representative Walter
Rash, Of Wilmington. The Hazel law
forbids intrastate shipments. Phila-
delphia, Chester and Baltimore whole
salers have been flooding lower Della
ware, while Wilmington wholesalers
were precluded, yet forced to pay
State license.
The anti-saloon bill not only pro-
hibits a drinker from receiving more
than one gallon of whisky, or an
eighth of barrel of beer in any one
month, but stipulates that he must
not receive shipments of both. Treat
ing and inviting persons to have a
friendly nip" also is banned, for the
law dictates that the liquor is for
personal use" only.
A fine of $40 to $50 for the first Of
Tense and $50 to 500, or six months
Imprisonment or both is provided as
punishment for those who would cir
cumvent the law and obtain larger
supply than the law allows.
Keep Tab On Consumers.
Railroad, steamship companies and
common carriers are required to keen
an accurate record of all liquor ship
ments carried. This record must con-
+oi,, Al, of

or liquor beverages carried. The con-
Signee must sign the record before the
shipment is delivered to him. 1t is
stipulated that transportation COM

Pittsburgh, Sept. 15.-Elmer E.. Ga ble. a former United States soldier who contracted leprosy while serving in the Philippines and who has been under strict guard in tent at the mu- nicipal hospital since his appearance here several months ago, will be re- turned to Washington in an automo- bile and after he has been turned over o'~the army authorities the machine will be burned.
 This plan was announced today by pr. James F. Edwards, director of health, to solve the problem of Ga bIe's future Common carriers would not transport Gable and pr. Edwards finally decided it would be cheaper for the city to sacrifice the cost of an au- tomobile than to keep Gable here. Having been ehonorably discharged from the army. Gable is a ward of the government, the authorities hold.
