of this store, nearly
twenty years ago, we

To give the store a

TO WAGE FIGHT UPON LIQUOR

Conservation of American fooo
stuffs by prohibiting the use OF
grain for making intoxicating
liquors during the period of the
war with Germany has been put
squarely up to Congress.
Senator Cummings Of Iowa,
has placed the matter before the
Senate in the shape of an amend.
ment to the spy" bill now pend,
ing in that body. His amend.
ment provides that no grain OF
other food products shall be used
in the manufacture of malt and
distilled liquors during the war.
Senator Cummings contends that
such an amendment is germane
on the ground it is a war meas.
ure and it is equally as import
ant to prevent a food shortage
in this country as to prevent
military and naval secrets from
leaking to the enemy.
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser., 1917-04-27

ably will have to utilize that
right later on, and if it can be
shown that the immediate adop-
ton of the conscription system
will result in a more scientltical-
ly organized and therefore more
efficient army, does not common
sense urge its immediate adop-
ton, in order that there may be
no waste and no efficiency?
The volunteer system is un-
scientific and wasteful. 1t means
a hurrah campaign of recruiting,
in which men who ought to be
working on, farms or in factories
will be taunted into enlisting for
the trenches or the .battleships.
It means a tremendous waste of
energy which could proftably be
employed elsewhere. 1t means
the wrong man in the wrong
place. The selective draft does
away with these evils. It's prim-
ary in tentions is not to make men
fight who do not want to fight.
Its primary intention is to use
every man in the position in
which he will be most useful.
The only unwilling men who will
be made to fight are the slackers,
who oughtssto be made to fight.
There is such a thing as volun-
tary compulsion a compulsion to
which the people as a whole SUBJ
nit voluntarily because they re-
cognize it to be the fairest
method of raising armies and
navies for the country's defense.
It is a compulsion which the peo-
pie impose upon themselves,
which is not imposed upon them
from the outside.
Maryland's response to the
call of the navy for volunteers
was more enthusiastic than that
of almost any other state. It
was one of the two or three that
furnished their full quota within
the time limit set. Yet the re-
cruiting was slow enough here,
and the principal reason for the
hesitancy, we are convinced, was
the fact that our people prefer
the selective draft system and
were waiting for it's adoption.
The eligibles did not volunteer
in a body, but they will be ready
and willing to serve when called
upon and when they know that
they will be used in the work
which they individually can do
most effectively. Congressman
Prices declaration means that a
solid Maryland delegation will
now support the Presidents plan
when a vote comes in the Senate
and in the House. That is fine!
May many other states follow its
good example. BALTIC. Sun.

TO LIST ALL OILERS.

The most important, most ef'
fective and most refreshing
declaration we have seen is the
statement from the Governor
that all idlers, loafers and un-
employed are to be listed and
either made to enlist or go to
work. We believe that every
healthy man, and women too for
that matter, should be required
to do something towards earning
the living they enjoy. There is
no room for parasites on the
working portion of the people.
1t is no excuse for idleness that
some ancestor has earned a COM
petence and handed it down to
an idle son. Every man should
do his part in life, and use his
energy, strength and faculties
to some good purpose. If he
does not respond to that duty of
his own accord, the forces of the
government should be invoked to
enforce it. We have loafers and
idlers in every class and voca-
ton. Those who work must
needs support the idlers and
loafers as we'll. If there were
no drones none need work so
hard, and none need suffer from
want. It is but fair and right
that every one should make
some return for the living he en-
joys.
In this hour, when the country
needs its men for the military
service as we'll as in the indus
tries, there should be no slack
ers, idlers or loafers. Those
who are not loyal or brave
enough to offer their services in
the battle field should be held up
to the line in the industrial field.
The order should be, enlist to
fight for the country, or go to
work forit. Calvert Journal.

How Stars and Stripes Should be
Displayed.

The flag should never be laid over
table, or wound around post. or tack
ed against a wall. 1t should always be
flown to the breeze from pole. Red,
white and blue bunting alone should be
used for purposes of decsration. Here
are some other things to remember
about flag etiquette:
The flag should not be hoisted before
sunrise nor allowed up after sunset. In
the navy the colors are hoisted, in ordi-
nary circumstances, at 8 a. m.
At Morning and Evening Colors" at
forts and military posts civilian specta-
tors should stand at attention and un-
cover during the playing of ''The Star
Spangled Banner"
The flag should never be allowed to
touch the ground and should never be
raised or lowered by any mechanical
appliance.
When the national and state or other
flags are flown together the national flag
should be or the right side of the build
ing or lawn.
When the flag is used as a banner,
that is, suspended on a rope across a
street, the union, or field. should fly to
the north in streets running east and
west and to the east in streets running
north and south:
When flags are used in an unveiling
of statue or monument they should
not be allowed to fall to the ground,
but should be carried aloft to wave out,
forming a distinctive feature during the
remainder of the ceremony.
When the flag is flown at half-staff
as sign of mourning it should be hoist
ed to full staff at the end of the funeral.
To fly flag at half staff it must first
be raised to full staff and then lowered
On Memorial day the flag should fly
at half staff from sunrise to noon and
full staff from noon to sunset.
The following are the days when the
flag should be displayed:
Lincoln's Birthday, February IL
Washington's Birthday, February 22.
Inauguration Day (every four years.
March 4.
Battle of Lexington, April 10.
Battle of Manila Bay, May l.

A SOLID MARYLAND DELEGA-
TION FOR SELECTIVE
DRAFT

1t is the strong. rather than
the weak, man who does not
fear to change his mind, and
Congressman Price, who now
announces that he will vote for
the selective draft system, after
having previously declared him
self in favor of the volunteer
plan, is in no danger of being
misunderstood by his constitu-
ents or the people of Maryland
generally.
Mr.. Prices statement is a
clear-cut and convincing one.
Like most Americans, he has a
prepossession in favor of the
volunteer system. But he has
been impressed with the fact
that the selective draft recon-
mended by President Wilson will
scientifically and intelligently
put the right man in the right
place the farmer in the field,
the mechanic in the factory, the
potential soldiers and sailors in
the trenches and on the battle
ships. 1t will no doubt be more
Immediately effective than the
volunteer plan";; it is 'the more
scientific plan for our immediate
needs.' Besides, the President
has asked it. He is the COM
mander-in-chief of the army and
navy, the responsibility for the
successful prosecution of the war
is upon him, he should have un-
divided loyalty and support.
This line of reasoning should
appeal to many other Congress-
men besides Mr.. Price. Senator
Borah is another man whom no
one would suspect of changing
his opinions through weakness
or indecision, yet while Senator
WadsWorth was making his ad-
mlrable argument in favor of the
selective draft in the Senate on
Monday, the former confessed
that his hereditary antipathy
to conscription" was rapidly dis
sipating. And there are others.
It seems to US that those whose
views are infunced by anti
pathies or prepossessions, here
ditary or otherwise, would clarity
their thought if they would con-
slider this proposition: Everyone
recognizes the right and the pro-
priety of the nations availing
itself of the conscripition plan
if, or when, the voluntary sys-
tenn fails to provide the neces-
sary number of recruits. Most
of those who advocate the volun-
teer system admit that if the
war is continued long enough
conscription may become neces-
sary. If the country has the
right to conscript, and if it prob
