One of the questions that Mary
land politicians shy at and do not
breathe easily until it is killed each
successive Legislature, is that of
Women Suffrage, hence whenever
this measure gets before the General
Assembly the bosses issue orders to
kill it as soon as possible. A lot OF
these old moss-backs know with the
vote in the hands of the women
their brand Of out-of-date politics
will be thing of the past, hence it
was that the Woman Suffrage bill
was sandbagged in the House of
Delegates last week, through orders
from those higher up.
The suffragists are convinced that
the defeat last week was largely due
to the opposition of the political
clique composed of Benson, Bryant
and Mcintosh, and also to the in
fluence of United States Senator
Smith. Senator Smith, they charge,
did what he could to defeat the bill
because he feared it's passage might
force him to vote for the Federal
suffrage amendment when the vote
on it is taken in the United States
Senate.

When you have bilious attack

nausea, vomiting and terrible head
ache. Take Chamberlain Tablets

out your stomach and you will soon

FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1918.

The Maryland Legislature is drag
ging itself to it's weary end with its
usual record of having accomplished
but little. The one important pit OF
legislation thus far passed, after all
these weeks, is that of the Prohibi-
ton Amendment.
The race track gamblers have been
able to prevent consideration Of
race track legislation by playing
their accustomed game of delay, and
it is not likely any bill will be passed
at this session driving the tracks
from the State.
Annexation, which the Baltimore
press has howled about from the
beginning, seems likely to be settled
this week.
One contemporary in summing UP
what has really been done thus far
by the General Assembly says 1T has
passed enough bills directing the
Roads Commission to build high
ways to bankrupt the State, if The
Commission had to build them. 1t
has passed bills raising the salaries
of jurors, policemen, constah!es,
justices of the peace and what not
1t has passed bills to allow the sheriff
in this or that county few CENTS
more for the keep of prisoners; to
fix the Office hours of county treas
urer; to authorize county to levy
for annuities to two paupers, not to
mention local turkey buzzard laws
muskrat, raccoon, dove. and ether
enactments equally worthy of the
attention of the town council of Pig
Point or Coon Hollow.

First Estimate OF 1917 Lumber On

A lumber production of 39,2OO,-
100000 feet in the United States in
1917 is the preliminary estimate OF
the Forest Service, based on incom.
plete reports received up to February
rs. About one-half of the $4,000
mills listed by the Forest Service
and the National Lumber Manufac
turers' Association had at that time
made reports. Because of the need
for an accurate census, caused by
the country's wartime demands foi
lumber, officials in charge of The
work are urging delinquent mills tc
report as soon as possible.
The estimate is based upon the
reported cut of 845 identical saw.
mills each of which cut five million
feet or more lumber in either 1917
or the preceding year. The reports
OF these mills indicate that in nine
States there was an increase in pro-
duction and in the rest of the coun.
try decrease. The largest increase
was in Missouri, where the gain over
the 1916 cut was almost "A per cent

AUSTRIA LOSES

The following statistics dealing with
the effects Of the war IN the birth rate
in Hungary were read to the Hun
garian Chamber Of Deputies:
Before the war 10000 children a
year was born in Hungary. In the
first year Of the war, 1914, the num-
Der Of births was reduced by $4,000; in
1915 only 4s1 900 children were born;
that is, 248,O00 less than in times of
peace. In 1916 the number Of births
was 333, O0O-as reduction Of 3 1000.
In 1917 the births amounted to 327,-

has naturally taken a more advanced
position in regard to woman suffrage,
to which President Wilson, the Demo-
cratic leader, is only a recent convert.
The Republican party has taken a
stronger stand for proper regulation
of child labor, as seen by the differ
ence in the State laws of the Republi-
can North and the Democratic South.
The interests of the farmer have been
better looked after by the Republican
party, most of whose great leaders
have come from the farm, while the
Democratic party is strongest in the
great cities of the country.
"1n general, the Democratic party is
a sectional party and it's policies are
controlled by Southern leaders. 1t
represents more the slow, easy-going
ideals of the South. The Republican
party has been a national party, and
with it's fundamental doctrine of pro-
lection has fostered American indus

for protection and through its rule
American industries have been foster
ed and developed until they have
reached their present state of high eff
ficiency. The Democratic party has
advocated free trade or a tariff for
revenue only. When its theories were
put into practice in 1893, when Cleve-
land was President, We suffered a dis
astrous panic in business. We were
only saved from a similar panic, when
the present Underwood tariff took eff
feet, by the opening of the European
war which acted as a protective tar

the prosperous factories near your

comment from many Republican lead

Mr.. Mott declared that the speedy
winning Of the war should be the first
consideration Of all parties, to which
all other issues should be ~subordinat-

that the Republicans had repeatedly
evinced their determination to mass
play this issue by the unanimity with
which they had supported the Presi-
