Letters to the Editor

House or Senate. He has at all times
been ready 10 help his colleagues who
were inexperienced, no matter what
their difficulties, and his patience as
presiding officer has seemed almost
limitless. He has sat in the Presi-
dents chair like a judge on the Bench
dealing out courteous and impartial
decisions to all, and he has been un-
doubtedly the most popular and well
esteemed man who has preside over
either House since the Civil War;
and the list of able men who have
held the chair during that time is a
long and noted one, containing the
names of several who have attained
highest honors in Maryland. The wri-
ter has known every one of them, and
Mr. Campbell has been the equal of
any as a member of the General AS
sembly and as President of the SEN
ate is matter of no doubt TO those
whose knowledge extends that far
back. Had he been more ambitious
and less retiring and modest, those
who know him are confident that he
could have risen as high as any OF
them. But he has been content TO go
on through the years in his quiet,
peaceful way, more a philosopher
than a politician. more a faithful pub
lie servant than an aspiring ana am
bilious leader, and the consciousness
OF duty well done Is TO him a greater
reward than TO have been Governor
or United States Senator. and to have
strutted across the stage for a few
years In higher but less useful posi-
ton. He is still in the prime o. his
usefulness and fitness for public ser
vice. He has not reached the end of
his career, and the people of Mary
land are possibly 10 wake up some
day to find out that men like Mr..
Campbell are the rareset and most
valuable public servants That in
passing him by for ambitious self-seek-
ers, whose greatest asset is their
wealth, they have made many mis-
takes. That the best officers and pub
lie servants are not those who bra
zenly flaunt themselves before the
people, and who seek position with
drum and trumpet and brass band.
Rather they are the modest faithful
and retiring men who are ready to
devote their time and talent to the
public welfare and who, like Mr..
Campbell, have to be sought out and
forced before the people, but who are
ready to do their full duty, justly and
impartially to all

NATURE TELLS WHEN
TO PLANT THE GARDEN

The home gardener who is not GER
tain when he should plant his seeds
may get more valuable information
by watching the processes of Mother
Nature. and taking a tip" from her.
Garden specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture di-
vide vegetables into two classes
warm temperature" and "cold tenn
perature" vegetables. When peach
and plum trees are in blossom, they
say. it is time to SOW in the open
ground such seeds as lettuce, radish.
parsley. beets. turnips, cabbage, car
rots. peas and onions. The wrinkled
peas should not be planted until
later. as they are more likely to rot
in cool ground than are the smooth
varieties. When the apply blooms fall
il is time to plant the heat-loving
vegetables, such as cucumbers, beans,
sweet corn. pumpkin and squash.
This is said to be an old but excellent
rule.

The Gardens Alien Enemy.

Any garden this year that continues
to allow attack by insect or disease
will be proclaimed pro-German. So
buy a spraying outfit early in the sea-
son. An ounce of spraying proven
ton may save a pound of reputation as
well as a pound of produce. Get a
hand sprayer and go over all plants
that act with suspicion.
An ordinary blight can usually be
conquered by Bordeaux mixture but
if sonRthing appears that does not
yield to ordinary treatment, take up
the plant and burn it in order to pre-
vent the spread of infection.
Pulverized sulphur viii prevent mil
dew if busted full strength on the
diseased plants.
Two enemy plotters are the cab
bage worm and the potato bug. These
may be removed by hand or knocked
off into a pan of water on the surface
of which a small quantity of kero-
sene is floating. The chief thing is to
destroy them Immediately.

GOVERNMENT NEEDS
WOMEN FOR WAR WORK

More and more, as the war pro-
crosses. is the Government depending
upon women to perform the tremend-
ously increased volume of work in the
civil branches. The force of civilian
employees in Washington, ID. c., in
creased from 10000 to approximately
$4,000 during the first year of our par
ticipation in the war. OF this num-
Der 10000 more than $4,000 are wo-
men
The United States Civil Service
Commission is calling for women for
Government work of not less than 60
different kinds The list includes
stenographers, typists, bookkeepers,
other clerks of a score or more of
classifications, which require train
ing in some special or technical line
statisticians, operators of various
kinds of calculating, addressing, and
duplicating machines; proof readers,
law clerks, welfare executive secre-
taries. craftsmen of a dozen kinds, tel
egraph and telephone operators. train

garments, finger print classifiers, and
many others.
The Commission urges women 70 Of
fer their services to the Government
at this time of great need. AS men
are called to the colors, women must
take their places and keep the ma
chinery behind the armed forces NOV

DUTY. NOT CHARITY.

There are people, strange as il may
seem, who make excuses to the col
lectors for the Red Cross. IF they
hadn't just put all they could raise in
To Liberty Bonds IF they weren't
buying Thrift Stamps according to a
regular system" IF they didn't
have 10 pay the income tax so soon
The prize excuse is this-and IL has
been heard by more than one Red
Cross worker The cost Of living is
so high that / have all ! can do 10
keep my family going comfortably AS
% is. and 7 do not feel that I can give
anything at This time for charity"
There are two serious misconcep-
tions in this view First. that char
iiy' namely The care Of the depend
enta OF community. Is careless mat
Ter of luxury. 60 which one may throw
% little spare change after everything
else has been attended 10. This view
Is responsible for much Of the misery
n our cities. for more epidemics and
criminality than the selfish and
thoughtless "almsgivcrs" have any
idea Of For il Is these same stupid
charity givers who won't give money
and time go cleaning up slums who
make the loudest walls about the
visltations OF Providence when typhoid
and poliomyelitis sweep across the
land
The other misconception is that the
Red Cross is charity to which one may
throw a little spare change, feel an
emotional glow of f-satisfaction
and forget it.
The Red Cross is your agency, do
ing your duty for you. You have no
business letting young men go out of
your community to fight for your pro-
lection without giving them the best
chance in the world to survive. to have
their suffering minimized.
Giving to the Red Cross is no luxuri-
Gus little sop to a selfish conscience
It's a matter of simple duty.

War Workers.

The great success of the luncheon,
served on Tuesday, May q, by the Ju-
nior Glass of the Annapolis High
School between the hours of II, noon,
and 100 p. M, is still a matter of ia
yorable comment. The luncheon which
was a Red Cross benefit, consisted of
the following menu: Sandwiches, po-
tato salad. cake, lemonade or iced tea.
The small sum of twenty cents was
charged for this temptingly prepared
luncheon. and the splendid sum of
fifty-two dollars was cleared
The money has been turned over to
Miss Elizabeth Moss, secretary-treas-
urer of the High School Junior Red

Too much praise cannot be given the
class for their splendid cooperative
work with Miss Gertrude Jones, who
was the chairman of the committee of
arrangements.

Home Economics, was also untiring

To the Editor of the Evening Capital:
An omission was made in the lei

fact that very little mention was made
Of the able and very conscientious
President of the Senate, Mr. Peter ].
Campbell, who has served the Reo-

ously ever since 1886. In fact no man
at present living has served as many
sessions at Annapolis as Mr.. Camp
bell, and his work on behalf Of the
beneficial legislation of Marylad has
probably been greater than that OF
any one man since the Civil War

Other political honors have been ready

less able have taken what Mr.. Camp
bell could easily have had without a

ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON.

AS a direct result of prohibition in
New Hampshire the superintendent oil
one county house of correction an
nounces that he hasn't enough SEN
fenced men in the workhouse to care
for the farms under his charge. So
few men have been consigned to the
institution of late that he must hire
outside help to get the work done.
Under license there were enough
prisoners to do all the work at the
county farms, with enough left over
to hire out TO neighboring farms
It's not "A cheerless outlook, how
ever. Sober. healthy, self-respecting
men are better workers than prison
ers working out n sentence for
drunkenness or crime. And a short
age of labor at such an institution
means an addition to the labor supply
of the outside community.
There are numerous similar cases
in many other dry" States or COM
munities They furnish fine food for
thought for private citizens and State
legislatures still in doubt about tho
Federal prohibition amendment.

NE S0CIAL RENAISSANCE.

While we're making the world safe
for democracy. we're also improving
the quality of the democracy. That
is true even in a. country already so
essentially democratic as the United
States.
One of the most outspoken prophets
of this new spirit is the biggest bust
ness man in the United States. a man
who in any other time might natural
ly have sympathized with aristocracy
rather than democracy.
I'VE are going to establish in the
United States a new social system"
says Mr. Charles Schwab in a recent
speech. The cooperation of all
classes for winning the war, he says,
is bringing about the social renais-
sance" Whatever aristocracy we
have i'm the future will be not one of
birth and wealth. but AN aristocracy
of the people who do things for their
fellowmen and for their country"
And again. The spirit of doing good
for ones fellowmen will be the spirit
of the new social order" Whether q
man be a brain worker or a hand
worker, his sheer worth will determine
his position in society.
Can we imagine a captain of indus
try talking like that a generation ago?
If a Rockefeller. a Carnegie, Harri-
man had uttered such words in his
days of power, his associates would
have called him crazy, and the gen
eral public would have called him a
hyprocrite. Now nobody's shocked or
surprised. Nearly everyone seems TO
accept Mr.. Schwab's remarks as a
matter of course.
The world is turning democratic.
Democracy today is a real force,
sweeping through every land and per-
meating every plane of society And
il will win eventually, even in the
darkest regions of Central Europe.
