THE result of the vote on the liquor
question in Maryland on Tuesday causes
great rejoicing on the part OF the temper
ance people OF that State as we'll as those
who live in the neighboTing counties in
West Virginia. The liquor people were
roaied beyond hope in Washington
county and Frederick county, the tenn
perance voters winning by majority OF
Ala in Washington county and by 1000
in Frederick. This means relief 10 the
people OF this section, who are so greatly
annoyed by the whlskey iitneys that infest
the highways on this side OF the river.
The saloons will not be closed until
May, 1918, under the law, which is a
source OF regret, but by that time it is
hoped that the whole State OF Maryland
will be dry. Baltimore city and Balti
more county voted wet on Tuesday by
large majorities, bnt the days OF the
saloon are also numbered in those whiS
key strongholds.

AN investigation by government COM
mission OF the enormous increase in the
price OF news printing paper shows some
astonishing facts. The most amazing
thing is the statement that though the
price has jumped from $50 a ton TO $40
ion during the present year, the cost OF
producing the paper has been really less
than the average OF the past three years.
The great increase is simply due to the
greediness of the paper trust that controls
the manufacture OF this grade OF paper.
The commission shows that il costs bu
S33 ton TO produce the paper for whic h
We are now paying $40 ton.
No remedy is suggested by the COM
mission, but it is hoped that some plan
may be devised by which the eXtortion
may be stopped. We should like TO see
a Jew of the guilty and greedy Off Gals OF
the trust hanged.

Wilson Winning
The Election Still Undecided.
Chances Favor Wilson.

Up to the time OF going to press the
result OF the national election is still IN
doubt, with the chances for President
Wilson's reelection better than at any
ime. There are six doubtful States,
West Virginia, Minnesota, California,
Oregon, North Dakota and New Mexico,
with only North Dakota giving Hughes a
lead. All OF the others are giving Wilson
a substantial plurality. Both parties are
claiming West Virginia. Mr.. Wilson at
present has PSI electoral votes and Mr..
Hughes has 229, without any OF the
doubtful States, Zoo being necessary for a
choice. The result will probably not be
known today.

THE bootleggers and booze-hoisters in
the Charleston and Wheeling neighbour
hoods, aided and abetted by the liquor
dealers OF adjoining States, are making
themselves very obnoxious in their
violations OF West Virginia's prohibition
law, and the result will be tightening
up OF the present regulations on the sub
iect. We shouldn't be surprised if the
next legislature will enact some very
stringent laws concerning the handling
liquor, tor these defiant l'w-breakers
must be made TO respect the statutes.

PIANIST BUILT A CLAVICHoRD
Admiration for Bach Was Young
Mans inspiration In Its
Construction.

A longing to hear and to play the
music of Bach on the clavichord, the
instrument on which Bach played and
composed his music. led Frank NJ.
Watson. twenty-five years old. a Jack
son musician, to build one of these in
struments, and to build 1t under such
a handicap as would cause the aver
age person TO despair. a Jackson cor
respondent of the New York World
writes.
Two years ago Watson went to Bos
ton and studied for year at New Eng
land Conservatory of Music. There he
acquired technical knowledge Of the
plano and kindred instruments. which
enabled him to build reproduction of
the clavichord, an instrument which
has not been used for 200 years, from
printed descriptions of it.
In the museum of the University of
Michigan there is a claFichord built in
the time of Bach, but knowledge of
this instrument did not come to young
Watson until he had practically com
pleted the clavichord on which he was
working. However, he made a trip to
Ann Arbor and not only inspected the
instrument at close range, but put 1t
in repair. With the exception of one
or two things he found that the claw
chord built by his hands was correct,
and details which were wrong were of
a minor nature.

Dawn Near Armentleres.

One of the most poignant memories,
1t may be, that | have brought back
from the war is the unearthly beauty
OF the dawn in that low country,
writes a British captain in the Allan,
tic Monthly. Morning after morning
{ watched it. and the wonder never
ceased. Water, mirroring willows and
the silvery sky, stood ever in the fore
ground; the low farm houses lay mys
.erious; the battered church wan
whole again. With the full light and
an awakened world the picture was
commonplace; in the half light and
the silence its beauty seemed the one
spiritual element in ravaged world.

WAR-CRlES USED BY THE JEW
They Are Many and In All Tongues.
But Another One Is Said to
Be Coming.

THE Jew has as many war-cries as
there are tongues in Europe. for he
fights with them all: and then he has
his own war-cry. that eternal fearful
cry OF his that in these days Is rending
the heavens over Russian and Galician
Polands." E r. Lipsett writes ia the
Century.
And still there is another and a
newer cry coming. the war-cry OF the
neutral Jew. To arms to arms! o Is
rael! has arisen. the sudden thunder
ing cry throughout the length and
breadth of the New York Ghetto and
ali the other Ghettos in the larger
cities OF America.
We know. Of course. what are the
arms OF the Ghetto Jew; they are
tongue and pen. BY means of these
II is intended to raise the Jew from
the depths OF his ashes and make him
a live nation again. A congress OF
American Jews is to be called and 1t
is to demand. at the conclusion of the
war. OF before II, the return OF Pales
tine to its ancient owners. For the
Jews are a nation. and they must have
a land and Palestine is theirs.
That is to say. in brief. that while
nearly three-quarters OF a million Jews
on the European battlefields are at
one another's throats. in vindication
each of a different nationality. the
Jews far away from the bursting shells
and glittering bayonets are calling out
to them: No. you are all in the wrong.
For you are all one
1T is not for US to determine
whether the Jews are a nation. II Is
not for one man to tell another what
he should be. One is what one feels

he told her and watched her skip on
and up to her room.
Kennard sat for a few moments
YEARLY looking at the door through
which his ward had gone Gradually
his eyes focused themselves on a
faded pink flower that lay Just within
the library door. II was the rose Nan
cy had worn in her hair.
Kennard rose and picked It up and
returned to his desk with it. He sat
gazing softly, tenderly. at It and, a
second later, his lips caressed it ten

No sooner had he touched the with
cred flower than he drew back swiftly

heart when she glanced swiftly at the
floor Just within the library door.
There was no rose lying there She
stood for a moment, her great eyes
devouring Remarks bent shoulders
and bowed head The very softest
sigh escaped her and Kennard raised
his eyes slowly. believing a splendid
vision had appeared to him.
Surely the slim little creature in the
doorway was not Nancy. There was
golden hair piled nigh and bound by
the matchless pink pearls and a white
throat rose like the stem of lily from
a low-cut bodice. The arms were bare
and cleaning white.
