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 70 create sentiment
against ratifying the National
Prohibition Amendment at this
time on the ground that 1t had
oot been submitted prior to the
election Of the Legislature. Ger
tainly no member win be rnisled
BY this organized and well finan-
ced propaganda Of the liquor
bunch.
The Anti-Saloon League.
through its publication. through
the pulpit and the press Of the
state. did tn best to make the
Issue plain The Personal LAber-
" League. through its adver-
tisements, showed that they
understood the issue and made
their fight accordingly.
Tho 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 a 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 It win
be the question upon which the
election of all Legislatures win
turn for the next seven years.
This certainly Is true unless 36
states ratify
the LegislatIl IN to
sS,onlny u shs sub H.
misaioSl OF the nationwide pro-
hibitioh amendment rests en-
tirely witls' 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.

HEAVY SALES OF TOBACCO TO.
DAY

The sales of tobacco continue
heavy today but the prices are of
course off on account of the enor-
nous amount coming to town. In
order to endeavor to handle the weed
the Board of Trade has settled on
the number of piles to be sold at
each warehouse predicated upon the
amount of tobacco handled last sea-
son. 1t is hoped that this will solve
the problem and enable the over
worked warehousemen and buyers
who are short on help and are work
ing almost continuously, relieved of
some of the strain they have been in.
