them. A spark may easily fly out of
the fire and set them alight.

ELDER HILE.

We have been having an interesting
school here, but there has been lot of
sickness in the community and the
school has been rather small. Miss
Ruth Riley, of Selbysport, is our
teacher and has been sick for the last
week and her brother Dale Riley is
teaching in her place. We had
small program last Friday afternoon
and Mr.. John Ferguson, of Friendsville
High school, was here and made an
interesting speech.
Mr.. William McClintock had an at
tack of grip but is we'll again.

from the Senate or Legislature of Mary
land to the highest legislative body of
Maryland-the citizenship thereof. 1t
may be shown with equal conclusiveness
that it is not party measure, for both
of the great parties of this land have
been committed by pledges with the
people to the furtherance of the referen-
dunn. of which doctrine this bill is con-
crete example and presents an admirable
opportunity for every Senator in this
body to measure up in the highest de-
gree possible to the confidence and
trust reposed in him by the electorate
of Maryland. Continuing farther along
this same line of thought, l heard a
Senator, only few days ago, in voting
upon certain measure before this
body state that the principle of home
rule was strong within him, and he cast
his vote accordingly. Now, desire to
state this bill now before the same Sen
ate involves the same principle of home
rule. To explain: AS our intellectual
powers heighten and the mental vision
enlarges accordingly. we do not see our
environment to be as large as we had
been accustomed to view them when
our intellectual powers were low and
our mental vision accordingly narrowed.
To illustrate this abstract statement by
a concrete example. desire, with due
apology thereof, to recite an experience
of my own. 1t is this: When | am IN

A RETROSPECT.

1t is not our intention to thumb the
pages of the history of our State and
nation to find all the parallel incidents
that have marked our progress up to
the present time. But there are two
or three historical facts that serve as
fountains to every student of MARYLAND
and national history, which, when drunk
from, serve as great sources of patri-
otism and love for both our State and
nation. And those who participated in
those dreams were inspired to do that
which they did do on account of their
abiding faith in the truthfullness of and
validityin theprerogatives of the people
to be their own authority, which form
of authority was aptly phrased by
Lincoln upon the battlefield of Gettys-
burg when he said: ut is rather for
US to be here dedicated to the great

THE SIGNS OF THE TINES.

That public opinion has undergone
revolutionary change in regard to the
/ liquor traffic of late years is at once
apparent if we but once take into con-
siderstion the rapidly growing list of
states that have prohibited the manu-
facture, sale and transportation of al
coholic liquors for beverage purposes.
At the present time the following states
have adopted statewide prohibition of
the liquor traffic: Alabama. Arizona,
Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho,
Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, North
Carolina. North Dakota. Oklahoma,
\ Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Virginia. Washington and West Vir-
ginia. The question of statewide pro-
hibitlon will be passed upon next No
vember by the following states by a
vote of the qualified voters of such
states at the general election: Michigan.
Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota;
/ Vermont votes March Z, 1916.
Mr.. President, we have heard dis
cussed to considerable length upon this
floor both senatorial courtesy and cour-
tesy due the coordinate branch of this
Legislature on account of its part in
the enactment of laws; and this cour-
tesy, extended to the body across thehall,
dictates that we shall pay great defer
ence to its decision and messages; but
now desire TO call attention to a third
coordinate legislative branch in this
/ State-the citizenship thereof. which
has unquestioned authority to initiate
/ legislation and of itself to pass there
upon, and that is the exact status of
the bill now before the Senate-it has
had its origin in the citizenship of
Maryland and it is prayed that the en-
tire citizenship of the State be permit
ted next November at the polls to pass
thereupon, either making its provisions
the law of our State or rejecting its
enactment; we, as Legislature, there
fore, are but as committee to pass
thereupon without recommendation,
especially so since the bill has come
from the most sacred and powerful
origin in our land-the citizenship of
Maryland which makes and unmakes
representatives at its will. Keeping
this fact well in mind, we detect at a
flash that so far as we are concerned as
members of this Senate, this bill does
not present moral question, with
which many members hesitate to deal,
but it becomes strictly a bill that in
Olives the sacred courtesy that is due

AN OBJECTION TO THE BILL.

We shall pass over many of the OBJ
jections to the present bill, feeling con-
fident that the friends Of the measure
viii be fully able 10 explode them as
they later are brought forth by the OPP
ponents OF the bill. There is one, how
ever, that | do desire to anticipate and
that is the one which / shall prove is
far-fctchcd and without foundation in
fact, audit is stated as follows: Prohibi-
ton does not prohibit. Aside from the
fact that the present bill is opposed by
the liquor interests, which, il the state
ment were true that prohibition does
not prohibit, would not be in opposition
to the ultimate end to which they fear
vine bill might lead, the abolition OF the
liquor traffic in Maryland, for if prohibi-
ton does not prohibit, then there would
not be the opposition from that quarter
that now exists, for the sale of liquor,
If that statement were true, would be
as large after as it was before the
electorate of Maryland wrote the con-
templated law upon the statute books
Of Maryland; the Golfers of the liquor
/ dealer, if prohibition does not prohibit,
would be as well-filled after as before
/ its enactment, and if that were true,
the present opposition would be wholly
/ dissipated and the present bill would
pass without a dissenting vote Aside
from the point just made, repeat, that
the financial returns of the liquor in
terests would be as great after as be-
/ fore Mary land went dry, if it were true
that prohibition does not prohibit, and
that that fact would remove the present
opposition to this bill, | desire to call
the attention of the Senators to a far
greater menace that prohibition does
not prohibit, and that threatens US as
Senatore of this State; and that is, BY
admitting the truthfulness of that slo-
gan of the liquor interests, we place
ourselves in the embarrassing and
humiliating position of confessing that
the acts to which this Senate is part
are null and void and without effect and
that the lawless element of Maryland
overrides the executive officials of this
State. many of whom derive their
authority from this body directly. in
directly or through confirmation. Shame
upon US. say, if we as members of
this great commonwealth proclaim that
prohibition does prohibit, for in SO pro-
claiming we concurrently admit our in
ability to provide our State with execu-
tive officials who are sufficiently armed
to carry out the mandates of its citizen
ship. No one here admits that, for
each of US is inspired in our endeavors
that each act of tins body shalr be
charged with enough electricity to make
it a means of control over those whom
/ it concerns.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1916-03-02


Mems Association, ali put forth the
same argument against prohibition.
Now MIR. President, and Gentlemen of
this Senate, the passage of this bill by
the General Assembly of Maryland
simply refers the matter back to the
people of this State where it rightfully
belongs, to either accept or reject the
proposition at the election November
next.
PROVISIONS OF THE STATEWIDE PRO-
HIBITIoN BILL.
Section l of the bill provides that the
question of the sale, manufacture for
sale and transportation for sale of in
toxicating liquors shall be submitted to
the qua lifted voters of the state at the
general election in November. 1916, and
designates the place of ballot and the
manner of notification by the Governor
and the Secretary of State
Section describes the form of ballot
and provides for the appointment of
challengers and watchers
Section provides for the canvassing
of the vote and making the returns.
Section provides for the carrying
out of the results of the election by the
Governor.
Section provides in case the majority
of the voters of the state should be
against the sale of Intoxicating liquors,
the necessary penalties for manufactur-
ing, transporting or selling liquor in
violation of the provisions of the statute.
Section provides for contest.
Section provides the time the law
shall take effect.
THE ISSUE.
The proposed legislation of and IN it.
self does not affect the liquor traffic in
& any sense whatever. Its purpose is to
determine the will of the people of the
whole state in regard to the matter.
If majority of the votes cast at the
election, as proposed in this bill, is in
IdNOL VI IiiC HIGIlSG SJSIGul DIS HOW
existing in this state, that system shall
I continue, subject, of course, to any
future changes the Legislature may
desire to make. II majority of the
voters of the whole state are oppos-
ed to the manufacture, transpor-
tstion and sale of Intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes, then from and
after he first day of May, 1918, the
state shall become prohibition territory.
IT this period, it is useless to inject
the question as to whether the policy of
prohibition is wise or foolish, as that
is matter which can be taken up and
settled by the voice of the whole people
on election day in November next. 1t
seems to me that question is settled,
and that is, that the majority of the
people of the state have an absolute
right to pass upon any question that
affects the people of the state as
whole; and for legislative body to
deny the people this right is to usurp

NIoLArIoN OF PRECEDENT.

The attempt to exempt part of the
state from the provisions Of the law
which is to the best interests Of the en-
tire state is contrary to all precedent.
In no instance has this ever been dons.
In Colorado, where Denver. its metropo-
lis, occupies very much the same re-
lationship to the whole state as does
Baltimore to Maryland, the prohibition
of the liquor traffic is statewide. The
same is true in Oregon, where Portland
has about the same relationship to the
state as Baltimore to Maryland; and in
Washington, with Seattle in the same
relation.

In conclusion | wish to say that it is
only natural that people should differ
on this all-important question, and we
expect it. Some of you are, of course.
expected by perhaps majority of your
constituents, to vote against this bill,
and they should not criticise you if you
voted for it, as you are only plac-
ing the matter in their hands where it
rightfully belongs, to decide this all-im-
portant question. Why should BsIti-
more city protest against the passae
of this bill, giving the entire State the
right to vote on this matter, when one
half of the population of the State of
MARYLAND lives in the City of Baltimore

force of the liquor interests of the state

the people of the whole state.
NOT A LOCAL QUESTION.

Again Mr.. President, it is apparent
to every student of this question that it
is not local question. 1t stands on all
tours with contagious and infectious
diseases. That the state has an abso-
lutte right to quarantine against such
diseases no one can question. In the in
terest of the people of the whole state
it can take such measures as it deems
necessary to prevent the ingress or eg-
ress of people from city or a section
where such diseases exist. 1t can 90 to
the extent of Selling and, if necessary,
destroying goods or property that car
ries the infection. There is no limit to
the length that the state may go in or
der to protect the interests of the whole
people in such matters. The effects of
the manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors cannot be confined to any
one locality as long as free intercourse
between the different localities of the
state in maintained People coming
from other sections are brought into
contact with and subjected to the temp
tation of the sale of intoxicants in the
communities where they are allowed.
BALTIMORE CITY.
Of course, this applies to Baltimore,
the great city of the state. The city
and state are intra-dependent. The
people of the state are justly proud of
their great metropolis, and its streets
TEEN with the citizens of other sections,
who come there to trade and to enjoy
the social advantages of the great city.
From the state it draws a large per-
centage of its population. 1t is depend
ent upon the state for its prosperity,
for from the farms. villages and CT les
throughout the state it draws trade IN
vast quantities. Its educational institu-
tions are recruited from the sons and
daughters of the residents of farms,
villages and other cities Consequently,
the citizens of the state are very much
concerned about the conditions which
exist in the metropolis. Fathers, whose
sons and daughters are to become resi-
dents of the city are concerned and have
right to have some say as to the con-
ditions under which they shall live.
Parents whose children are in the edu-
cational institutions of the city support
ed by the state have a right to know
that the environment is wholesome and
clean. Therefore, it seems that in
passing upon this matter it is eminently
proper that the whole state should have
a voice
