IGNORANCE OR IMPUDENcEl

There was n time when a state
ment ignorantly or impudently made
concerning a sacred or vital ques-
ton Of great public concern might
have been overlooked or excused.
But that day Is not now. The farmer
who was asked a few days ago by
ladies Of the Red Cross to contribute
a few pounds Of tobacco TO that OF.
ganization and who answered. "No.
let the government pay the BILL" was
either ignorant or impudent. In
either case the man was unjustified
and inexcusable.
When the world is on fire and men
are giving their lives by the thou
sands TO save our national life; when
men. women and children by the mill

when women by the thousands and

and girls are offering their lives upon
the sacrificial altar Of service in the
Red Cross hospitals in a ravaged and
devastated country to minister to the
sick and wounded and dying soldiers;
when in view Of all this, and more.
one can pineh-up his soul and be a

There Is no wonder that all the
tobacco buyers who knew that the
farmer said. "No. let the government
pay the bill," passed his tobacco by

times the amount asked for by the

Rush Coal to New England.
CONGESTION Is Relieved.

Railroad congestion on the big COAL
carrying lines in the east has peeh
eraatIy relieved as shown in figures on
car movements put out by the railroad
administration. Four lines, which on
January % had on sidings 2o,so3
loaded cars eastbound, which they were

on their sidings eastbound only 13,l6S
cars These figures itemized are as fol-

to 1,IS4; Erie. from $3.50 to 1856; Bal
timore and Ohio. from $3.50 to .o,2o2;
Pennsylvania. from o,576 to 2,52l.
Because there are still six weeks OF
winter weather ahead. with the possi-
bilities of snow and billiards. to inter-
fere with railroad operations, Mr.. Nc
Adoo believes there is still adequate
reason for maintenance of railroad en-
bargoes on non-essential commodities.

store roads to normal conditions. he
added, but even without this there

CANTANKEROUS
KICK ON BEER
GLASS PORTION
Baltimore Has ITO Fewer
Liquor Sale Places Than
Year Ago.

Baltimore, Nd. July 24.-Just when
the cantankerous are kicking about
the size, or lack of size. Of beer
glasses and the price Of old red-eye.
1t may be interesting for them also
to note that there are now 10 fewer
places IN Baltimore wherein thirst
can be quenched with alcoholic
liquors. real or so-called. than a year
ago.
And yet, with 10 emporiums Of
Ganbrinus closed, 1t Is not quite 50
bad as the Liquor License Board
predicted. for that body only a few
months ago figured out that the first
of June would bring about the shut
down of not less than 800.
Today the total number Of places
selling alcoholic liquors is LIS
against 1.491 in 1911. but from this
total must oe subtracted fifty-nina
Wholesale houses and eight whole
sale druggists because in 1911 thu

Liquor License Board. Subtract.ng
these for comparison the figures
would show a decrease OF 462 in
eight years.
Life Saver Here.
One reason that the high price of
liquor and other high costs have not
closed more saloons in Baltimore city
is the shutting dowp of Highlandtown
and Canton and the Back River and
Curtis Bay boozeries by the Federal
government as war measure. The
Federal order closed not less than 100
places. and one. result of this was to
send a lot of trade into the city that
had not before come here. This,
doubtless. was a life-saver to a num-
Der OF saloonkeepers.
Still. signs are that more will close
as the year advances. The high price
Of liquor Is having its effect on a GER
tain class OF places. for there are
many sections where the consumer will
not pay 20 cents for a drink OF red
eye" and the real thing can not now
be had for less. If it is sold for less
