GOVERNOR DECLARES FOR WON
AN SUFFRAGE AND
PROHIBITION.

Governor Harrington's mes
sage to the Legislature which
convened on Wednesday contain
ed two big surprises. One was
his proposal that woman's SUI
frage be submitted to the people
and the other was his indorse-
ment of prohibition, couched IN
rather guarded terms, but an In
dorsement nevertheless.
Upon annexation, he urged
that the issue be settled, but he
did not express his views as to
how it should be settled. He
pointed out that the Republican
party favored a referendum in
1915 and opposed one in 1917, and
said that the Democrats made
no reference to a referendum In
1915 and declared for one In
1917. Therefore, he seemed to
think any member of either par
ty could follow his own judgment
without party embarrassment.
And he stated that the matter
was in the hands of the Legs
lature, where he thought 1t
ought to be.
The Governor declared himself
opposed to any increase in the
State tax rate, but indicated that
he thought it could not be lower
ed. He holds that there must
be some inceases in the appro-
priations to State departments
and to public institutions to cover
the increased costs of operation
due to the war, but he is oppos-
ed to any increase in salarles'
except for those now receiving
small compensation.
He favors increase in the min
imum salaries paid teachers,
white and colored- and would
have the State and counties
share the burden. 1t is under
stood that he thinks the teach
ers should have $500, 900 more
and that the State should give
half and the counties half. The
States share would be covered
by the revenue arising from the
increased tax basis.
He recommended action upon
legislation to carry out the pow
ers of the Home Rule amend
ment to the State Constitution,
and stated that in accordance
with the views of Attorney-Gen-
eral Rltchle that q committee VI
able lawyers, mostly from the
counties, should be appointed to
draft such legislation, he had
named DR.. Frank J. Goodnow,
former State Senator William
M. Maloy, former State Senator
il. Frank Harper, of Queen
Anne's; former State Senator
Hammond, of Howard county;
L. Scott Offut, of Baltimore
county; F. Neale Park, of Car
roll county; and Jackson II. Rails
ton, of Prince Georges county.

ance so vital to our country's
success, that it should be kept
constantly before them.
The proposition is plain and
understandable. We have less
ened the productive powers Of
country by taking 2,00O,O 600 men
away from the productive forces
of the country; instead of pro-
ducers of one kind or another the
soldiers are consumers OF the
products of our factories, and
mines, and when the munitions
they expend and will expend
against the enemy is considered
they are tremendous consumers
of the manufactured products Of
the country.
A tremendous amount of the
manufacturing energy of the
country has been withdrawn
from manufacturing the things
we use in peace and put to manu-
featuring the things we use IN
war. The total loss to the coun-
try of the productive energy of
our soldiers and sailors and the
diversion of a great portion of the
other productive energy OF the
country to war purposes lessen
to a great extent the amount OF
material and supplies produced
by the country.
To this condition of lessened
production and increased con-
sumption of and by our own men
must be added the extraordinary
demand made upon this country
to supply the armies Of our allies
and to great extent their popu-
lation with food and other ma
terial.
We must meet the condition
that confronts us in two ways
by the strictest economy in con-
sumption. for every pound we
refrain from using adds a pound
to be devoted to the uses of our
Army and Navy and the military
forces of our allies; and by spend
ing up our production to the
limit. The American people are
going to do all that they know to
be necessary to win this war
to shorten this war. They have
only to realize the imperative
duty of economy in saving and
they will economic and save.

WAR SITUATION AS 1918 OPENS

What the beginning of the
New Year finds at the battle
fronts is outlined by Secretary
Baker in his weekly review of
military operation. In the west,
he says, the British dominate the
Flanders plain with great
wedge into the principal German
line of defense at Cambria, while
the French, with their own lines
unbroken, hold the key to the
Laon area through the capture
of Chemin des Danes.
Italy, supported by the Allies,
is holding firm while the enemy,
after battering in vain for six
weeks against the defenders is
busy preparing for a renewed
offensive.
Of Russia the review merely
says the Germans are endeavor-
ing to pursuade that country
that they are eager to assist in
restoring normal conditions, and
that the German Embassy build
ing at Petrograd is being made
ready for occupancy.
While the operation of Amer
lean troops at the front has been
confined to narrow limits, the
Secretary says their presence
has heartened the Allies and in
creased faith in final victory.

WHAT NEW YEARS SIGNIFIES

The need of getting a conven-
lent division of time into days
and years which correspond with
the movements of the earth and
sun is not sufficient explanation
of the New Years festival.
That need is wholly mechanical.
mathematical and serviceable,
The mood of New Years is not
mechanical, mathematical, or
servicable. It's wholly one OF
abandon and heedlessness.
It is such because the day
represents an accounting and a
sponging of the slate. Life
needs renewed beginnings. 1t
cannot lead away across unbrok-
en- and unmarked plains. 1t
must have it's definite stops, its
prospects in the intimate future.
The traveller must have in
thought as he goes along the
road a possibility of comfort
able ending of the day at an inn.
We seek constantly a realiza-
tion of completeness, of a begin
ming, a middle, and an end.
Life, which is formless. must
have form given it. | must have
its stopping places, where it re-
lakes by a fire and is genial. 1t
cannot go on travelling without
defined purpose, with no objec-
tive, with no inns inviting by the
light through social windows. 1t
must have detectives in the near
prospect.
1t seeks a definite and we'll laid
out plan, a scheme, and, there
fore, regardless of the need of
dividing time into periods which
can be used for the material
needs of people, it makes periods
which satisfy the demand for an
objective.
The New Years festival is an
inn which folk reach at the end
of a long journey. They sit a
while and are merry, then they
take up their journey again

The War Department has been given
possession of the race track at Laurel
for war purposes and a big force men
is already in actual possession pre-
pairing the properties for the arrival OF
the Twentythird Regiment OF Engl-
neers, now at Camp Meade, under Col.
Johnson.
The deal WAS closed Friday. A big
offer was originally made by the Gov.
eminent officers for the track, but it was
turned down by the directors OF the
Maryland State Fair, which conducts
the Laurel meets.
Nothing doing" said State Senator
X A. Johnson, president of the asso-
citation, in effect; but We'll give it to
you. You can have it as long as you
want it. :"
The directors idea as expressed by
Senator Johnson was that just now
nothing was too good for the army or
navy that it was up to every body to
do his bit now, and was in line with the
directors work for the second Liberty
Loan in October, when, together with
the individual subscriptions raised at
the Laurel meets and the daily purses
run for, total of about $4,000 worth
of bonds were taken.
The track grounds and the buildings
are wanted for the training Of The en-
gineers' units before their transfer to
France
The officers Nh use the club hou e
for headquarters and the jockeys clu
house viii be used as h spital for The
Engineer Corps. The jockeys club
house is equipped with showers.
For the men there are SIX big build
ings used for the fair when the track
was first built, about nine years ago.
Fully 500 men can readily be accommo-
dated in each Of these buildings.

CONTROLLING INSECT ATTACKS.

College Park, June 21.-In the gen.
eral scheme Of crop preparedness.
growers are finding it most important
to be equipped to control attacks of
Insects in their crops. Valuable sus-
gestions regarding the use of insect
cides are given by E. II. Cory, Of the
Maryland Agricultural Extension Serv.
Ice. Prof. Cory says:
combinations of standard insecti-
cides with standard fungicides will
prove more economical than separate
sprays of each, while being just as
effective and in some cases more Of
iective.
"Arsenate of lead. or lime, arsenate
Of zinc, or Paris green may be COM
bined with standard fungicides for the
eontrol Of insects injuring plants by
eating portions of the fruit or foliage.
The usual rate for the use of the first
three is one pound Of the powdered
poison to every 30 gallons Of spray
mixture, or two pounds of the paste
form Of the poison to the same
amount. Paris green Is a rather var
liable compound and should be avoided
unless 1t is impossible to get one Of
the other poisons. II 1t Is necessary
to use 1t, it should be used at the rate
of one-half pound to 80 gallons OF
spray mixture. In every case tho
poison should be thoroughly stirred
up in a small amount Of water before
being added to the diluted spray mix
ture.
For the control Of sucking insects
the tobacco products, such as Black
Leaf 40, may be combined with the
fungicides. Black Leaf 40 should be
used for most insects at the rate Of
ons-half pint to so gallons of water.
where Black Leaf 40 or the poisons
are to be used without a fungicide.
soap at the rate of two pounds to so
gallons Of water should be added to
Increase the wetting power Of the
spray. It must be remembered though.
that soap and any mixture containing
lime are incompatibles and are never
to be used together.

THE YEAR 1919

We are in 1918. 1t is going to
oe a heroic year, but not decis-
i've. Nineteen hundred and nine
teen will be the American year.
That is the way it looks to the
military men; for it is apparent
now that we cannot contribute
during the next twelve months
the force necessary for the de-
feat of Germany. Even if we
transport million trained men
across the Atlantic, which is un-
likely, that army will fall far
short OF the task that is ahead of
the United States.
The detection of Russia has
changed the whole layout of the
war and caused a revision of all
allied calculations. There was a
slight chance for the ending of
the war in 1918 with Russia re-
naming in. There is hardly a
prospect of closing the war dur
ing the coming tweve months
with her in chaos. So radically
mas the situation changed that
7 Germany is bouyed up with the
hope that-even without the sub
marlne-she can smash Great
Britain and France before Ameri-
can power is effective; that is,
before another year rolls around.
Ut course, she will not be able to
do that; but she will pound des-
perately against the lines in the
West and keep her enemies on
the defensive.
These are the things that the
American people must take into
consideration and keep before
their eyes as guide-posts during
the coming year. For us, it will
be a period of gigantic prepare
ton. We will be on the battle
line, but not in numbers COM
mensurate with our strength.
We must be there full-panoplied
= in 1919; be there in numbers
large enough to break down the
concentrated defense of the Ger
man and Austrian armies.
These are purely military cal
culatione;. they take no account
of a civilian break down of Ger
:: many, of the growing shortage
of her supplies. They are based
on the assumption that Germany
will be able to hold out economi-
cally. That assumption may be
ill-advised. Ehe world has good
reason to believe that Germany,
at the close of another year, will
be so gaunt, so devitalized, so
weak, that continued resistance
against an enemy with a vast
accession of new strength will
'be an unthinkable thing.
But this prospect has no place
in our war preparations. We
must go ahead to win the war by
the mobilization of our full
strength. Washington Herald
