NATIONAL PROHIBITION
A LIVE ISSUE

It has been brought to the at
tention Of the prohibition forces
that a concerted effort is being
made by the organized liquor
forces TO create sentiment
against ratifying the National
Prohibition Amendment at this
time on the ground that it had
not been submitted prior to the
election of the Legislature. Ger
tainly NO member will be misled
by this organized and well finan-
ICED propaganda Of the liquor
bunch.
The Anti-Saloon League,
through its publication. through
the pulpit and the press of the
state, did its best to make the
issue plain. The Personal Liber-
ty League, through its adver-
tisements, showed that they
understood the issue and made
their fight accordingly.
The resolution for nation
wide prohibition had passed the
Senate before the Delegates and
Senators were elected last fall,
and it was in the House of Re-
representatives. at that time.
There are but few people who
claim to be posted upon this
question who would, for mo-
ment, say that there was doubt
any time in the past six months
about the submission of this
question to the Legislatures of
the states. AS a great news
paper Of the City of Baltimore
has said, ii this question is not
settled at this Legislature 1t will
he the question upon which the
election Of all legislatures will
turn for the next seven years.
This certainly is true unless 36
states ratify the resolution be-
fore that time
We submit that, inasmuch as
the Legislature knows this to
be true, the responsibility for
continuing this fight on the SUBJ
mission Of the nationwide pro-
hibition amendment rests en-
tirely with the Legislature and
the one now in session can
settle this question for all time
to come in Maryland and we
appeal to every friend of the
cause to make this known to his
Senator and members of the
House of Delegates.

Soon over His Cold.

Everyone speaks well of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy after having
used it. Mrs. George Lewis, Pitts
field, N. Y, has this to say regarding
it: Last winter my little boy. five
years old. was sick with cold for
two or three weeks. doctored him
and used vsrious cough medicines
but nothing did him much good until
began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. He then. improved rapidly
and in few days was over bin cold. !"

We have lessened the productive
powers of the country by taking
1000, 900 men away from the pro-
ductive forces: instead of producers
of one kind or another the soldiers
are consumers of our farms, fac
tories, and mines.
The total loss to the country Of
the productive energy Of our soldiers
and sailors and the diversion OF a
great portion of the other produc-
tive energy of the country to war
purposes lessen to great extent the
amount of material and supplies
produced by the country.
To. this condition of lessened pro-
duction and increased consumption
of and by our own men must be adj
ded the extraordinary demand made
upon this country to supply our
allies.
We must meet the condition that
confronts us in two ways-by the
strictest economy in consumption,
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 speeding 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 short
en- this war. They have to realize
the imperative duty of economy in
saving and they will economic and
save.

FARM-LABoR SUPPLY.
More Efficient Plans Formulated for
Solving the Problem Next
Season,

The experience of the present year
in dealing with the problem of sup
plying labor for Americas farm has
been valuable, according to the an
nual report of the Secretary of Agri-
culture. 1t was early apparent, the
Secretary states, that in certain sec
tions there would be marked short
age of farm labor; that, on account
of enlisments in the Regular Army
and through operation Of the draft
law, difficulties would he experienced
in many sections, and that the situa-
tion called for constructive action.
The task was presented Of making
the labor remaining on farms more
effective, Of securing fuller cooper
alton among farmers, and Of placing
on the farms urban and rural labor
not heretofore fully or regularly en-
ployed.

Departments Cooperate.

The Departments of Agriculture
and Labor and other agencies, i'm
mediately after the outbreak of war,
undertook to furnish assistance. and
the War Department held definitely
in mind the thought of Tightening
the burden as far as possible by not
calling to the colors those essential
for leadership and direction. Under
the pressure of the first draft it was
difficult to work out satisfactorily
the underlying principle Of selection
but the oneration of the new ar
rangement recently announced by
the War Department should remove
many Of the difficulties previously
encountered
Under the provisions Of the food
production act 3S farm labor agents
have been appointed and they will
cooperate with the Department Of
Labor and State officials in dealing
with the farm labor problem. The
whole situation was canvassed at a
conference in st. Louis on November
8 and 10, and more efficient plans
were formulated for next season.
Organization an Important Problem.
.'The problem of the organization
of labor remaining in agriculture is
Of the highest Importance, and it is
essential that if possible it be so per-
fected that there may be produced
in this emergency as much as was
formerly produced by the whole
number Of laborers and II possible
a greater quantity the report says
Whether resort in che future must
be had to more drastic action on the
part of the State and Federal author
tiles will depend upon the necessities
of the case. CONSUMPTION of labor
for industrial purposes would neces-
sarily present many difficulties.
Powerful influences are operating to
bring about the release Of labor and
capital from less essential enter
prises and their diversion into more
urgent undertakings. These will be-
come increasingly compelling as the
situation develops. They will be
aided by the growing realization on
the part of the people generally of
the necessity Of curtailing expendi-
lures on nonessentials and of re-
directing labor and capital into vital
industries.
