The liquor interests wall that while
the saloons have been closed up on
account of the influenza epidemic
trainloads of whisky have been sent
to the military camps for treatment
of influenza patients among the SOL
diers is now categorically and Off
cially branded as untrue
Major General Scott, commander of
the camp, issued an emphatic denial
today.
Not a dose of whisky was perscrib-
ed during the entire epidemic, accord
ing to Lieutenant Colonel W. Coles
Davis, commandant of the Camp Dix
base hospital Lieutenant Colonel
Harry r. Berry, camp surgeon, also
declared today that modern army sur
geons have entirely discarded whisky
and other alcoholic stimulants in the
treatment of patients The use of
whisky especially in influenza cases,
he said, is likely to prove as harmful
as the use of a poison.
Colonel Berry said that when the
base hospital was established al
Camp Dix. fifteen quarts of whisky
was included in the original ship
ment of medical supplies. No more
has been received and the original
fifteen quarts are intact in the store
room.

gies, but that the Democratic party
could never depend upon them. except
when the outcome of the political bat
tie could easily be forseen in advance.
Senator German always contended
that the county papers were the best
judges of real public sentiment, and
said that he would rather have the
opinion OF the County Editors on what
the real views of the plain people
might be on any public question than
the combined opinions of all the
Metropolitan papers in Baltimore.
THE County Editors are at all times
in close and direct touch with the peo-
pie of their neighborhOod" he said,
and know what they want. and what
they think of any man who may be an
aspirant for public position or
candidate for office The views of the
community largely influence the views
of the County Editors, and the papers
published in the small towns almost
invariably voice the views OF those
towns and the regions of which they
are the centers. When a newspaper
editor of this sort takes position in
regard 10 public man, or public
question, il may safely be concluded
that his reading constituency is back
of him. The Democratic county pa
pers OF Maryland are always conserva-
tive TO an extreme degree, are usually
very careful in regard TO any discus
sion of a public question, or a public
man as the representative of that
question; hence the support of these
papers is always effective, and ii is
source of the greatest qualification to
me that in all my public career,
have at all times had the loyal and
answering support of nearly all the
Democratic county papers of Mary
land. l have never called on them in
vain and they have always backed
me because they believed that l rep
resented the party to whose interests
they were truly devoted"
And probably no man who has
arisen to prominence in Maryland ever
paid as much attention to the County
Editors as the late Senator At fire.
quent intervals he would invite them
TO his house for a conference on pub
lie affairs. At these conferences he al
ways invited the freest and fullest
discussion. In turn he would ask the
opinion of every man present, and
many a matter of public moment to
the people and the Democratic party
was settled beforehand by the Senator
and the assembled writer's On one oc-
casion the Senator had prepared be-
forehand an address to the people of
the State, which he submitted to the
Editors. At least twenty were pres
ent, and, with two exceptions all adj
vised against the publication of the
address, and it was never published.
On only one instance, that can be re-
called, did he reject the advice of the
Editors, and later on he admitted that
he had made mistake.

POSTAGE STAMP CONSERVATION

do not use stamps of small denomi-
nation when fewer stamps of large
denomination may be used" urges the
postoflice department. For example,
use one three-cent stamp instead of
three ones, or one ten-cent stamp in
stead of five twos.
The idea is not TO save the users
saliva, though something might be
said for that The point is that it
costs the department just as much to
make and sell a one-cent or two-cent
stamp as it does a three-cent or ten
cent stamp, and that the use of an
unnecessary number of stamps waste
increses the work of the department.
1t is easier, too, to cancel one stamp
than several.
Ordinarily we give no heed to such
matters Now we are learning to
take them seriously. For exactly
similar reasons manufacturers are
putting paint in one large can instead
of several small ones, and increasing
the size-units of iellyglasses, salt
bags, spice-tins and cracker-boxes.
We can save enormously in ma
terial, labor and time, by applying
thoughtfulness and common sense to
the little things. There are billions a
year in it, if we once get the habit.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET
WHAT TIE WAR Is FOR

In the midst of these peace dis
cussions, IL is necessary TO keep this
basic fact clearly in mind:
The United States went into the
war to destroy German militarism. 1t
did so because It recognized in Ger
man militarism the greatest menace
to our own safety and the safety of
the world, and the chief obstacle in
the way OF human progress.
Being i'm the war, we are in to win
IT, We shall not win until the object
is attained and program of the Ger
man government which contemplates
it's attainment.
To destroy German militarism we
must do two things: We must de-
stroy the German army and navy, and
we must destroy the military idea in
the mind of the German nation.
That army is only half destroyed
and still capable of great present
harm and future menace il ii escapes
unscathed to German soil.
The German people do not give any
convincing evidence of being per-
suaded, as yet, that war is not the
primary purpose of national existence
that war as business is not JUS
tifiable. and cannot be made to pay.
The war therefore must go on un-
til Germany's fighting power and Ger
many's idea are eliminated. Until that
is done, any truce is a mockery and
any settlement fruitless, cowardly and
wicked
The American people have never
yet failed to do any big thing they
have set out to do. We and our allies
are of one mind and purpose. On with

BOARDING

Fritz VAIL of Portland, Ore, has

District Court for violating the food
control act. VAIL was indicted for
boarding, and upon investigation by
the Food Administration was found to
have stored in his home 100 pounds of
sugar, five unopened sacks of flour
and other food commodities in excess
sive quantities"
So reads Food Administration bull
letin. There is considerable publicity
for Mr.. VAIL. ali of which he seems
to deserve. The item serves to point
a necessary moral TO hood many peo-
pie who. though not offending so flag
rantly. perhaps, are nevertheless
yielding to the same weakness and
subject to the same criticism.

The government officials do not
want to engage in this petty business.
The public should not make it nee

decency does not deter people from

of scarce commodities, common intel
ligence should enable them to under

needs, if everybody plays. fair, and
the Government will not let them suf-

Retrospective OF The Late senator
German. A Man Who Never Had
Cfty's Newspaper support. But Held
His Place In Esteem 0f Voters.
County Editors Were His Friends.
A Memorable Luncheon Recalled.
To the Editor Of The EUening Capitol:
One of the most remarkable fea
lures of the long and very successful
political career of the late Senator
German was the fact that he never
had the active support of any great
daily paper-indeed, il was rare that
any of his acts received commenda-
ton from any of the great journals,
even of his own State-but rather the
contrary The only one of his notable
achievements, which received COM
menendation, was his successful fight
against the Force Bill during the adj
now thirty years ago. Yet, in spite OF
the hostility, either open or covert, of
the Metropolitan press, the late Sena-
tor held his place in the esteem of a
large proportion of the voters of his
own party throughout his entire ca
reer The press of Baltimore City
never helped him. but to the day of his
death he was the most influential man
in Maryland, and his failures were
few and far between. The basis of his
great strength was in the loyal and
answering support given him at all
times by the county newspapers of his
own party, the local Democratic or
gans published and circulated in every
nook and corner of Maryland With
out notable exception the county
Democratic papers were always ready
to back him in the execution of any
of his political plans, and never waiv-
cred in their loyalty and alegiancle to
Senator Germans, as the undisputed
leader of the Democrats in the coun-
ties of Maryland.
At a memorable luncheon given by
the late Senator to the Democratic
editors of the State on the last day
of the year 1889 at Rennert's, the Sen
ator acknowledged his great obliga-
to the county Democratic press, and
said that their loyalty to the Demo-
cratic party. and to him, as its leader,
had never failed on any trying occas-
ion. Later on in his life, after the
party had gone down in defeat in
1895, he again acknowledged his obli-
cations to the county press of his
party; and from time to time up to
the last years of his life, he
made further acknowledgements. And
among his closest personal friends and
advisers, throughout his entire career,
were several of the older editors, near
ly all of whom have now passed away.
He often spoke of the county Demo-
cratic newspapers. as "the great bull
wark of the Democratic party in Mary
land and as the foundation of all party
success in the State" He said he well
coined the aid of the city papers.
