Booze is to go! The ratification
of the Federal Prohibition Amend
ment by more than the required
two-thirds number of States last
week, makes it certain that the de-
testable whisky business is to be
driven from the United States for
ever. In their last vain effort to
gain respite for their dirty traffic
the whisky crowd is instituting in
functions and whatnot in the hope
Of defeating the operation Of the
law. This has ever been the plan OF
the booze advocates,-to defeat the
operation of law. There has never
been measure enacted for the re-
striction of the whisky business that
these harpies have not violated and
attempted to rendered imperative.
1t has been this fact, as much as any
other one thing that has contributed
to the final utter defeat of the booze
boosters, as they have made it plain
to :. law-abiding people. the whisky
business cannot be controlled or
regulated, hence the. decision TO kill
the Shiny traffic completely.
We hear an awful howl from the
rumn1ies about the loss of revenue
destroying the business of big brew
ing and distilling plants, etc, but a
years time will see these same big
plants, that have been spreading
misery disease and poverty through
out the length and breadth of our
country converted into useful indus
trial concerns, as has been the case
in the South and West, where in
place of splitting slop- from their
sluices, once reeking breweries and
distilleries are now thriving cotton
mills, furniture factories, and SINH
lar legitimate, useful industrial
plants.
Away with business that has nc
useful purpose, but that preys upon
mankind and has ever left misery
want, crime and their kindred in its
wake.

Taxing Land Values.

Coincident with our war activities
has been a marking up of the price
of land. Wherever the Government
has located industries tremendous
advances have occurred. The de-
mand for raw materials has added
untold millions to the price of coal,
mineral and timber holdings. High
wages have resulted in a general in
crease of rents. The expectation OF
continued prosperity tends to boost
land stin higher.
In this way we are laying the
foundations for the new panic. We
may expect an imitation of land
values until it is no longer profitable
for industry to expand, owing to the
high price of sites and raw materials.
And then will begin an era of de-
preston, unemployment, low wages.
The natural resources of this
country are almost illimitable. The
ore-bearing lands, the coal and oil
lands, the water-power sites, have
only been developed in very small
part as compared with their real
extent and potential usefulness.
The Secretary of Agriculture report
ed a few years ago that only one
third of the agricultural lands was
cultivated, and that the cultivated
part only yielded one-third of what
it might produce. Every city in the
country has thousands of acres of
building sites held vacant because
the owners are awaiting higher
prices than they can now obtain.
OUR tax laws bear heavily upon
improvements and lightly upon
vacant land, so that they actually
tend to discourage development and
encourage holding land out of use.
If this tendency could be reversed,
by relieving all improvements and
labor products from taxation, and
concentrating taxes upon land val
ues, the effect would be to stimulate
development and make it difficult to
hold valuable land idle. Land in
~fiation would be kept down, so that
labor and capital would always be
able to engage on easy terms in the
development Of land and the work
ing up of raw materials.
Such, at least. is the situation as
viewed by the single-taxer. Seasons
OF Industrial expansion have invari-
ably been followed by periods of de-
preston. And that land speculation
IS the chief contributory cause of
such depressions seems the only
plausible explanation of them.-Just

bilities To Red Gross Home
Service.
Service.

During the period of demobiliza-
ton, Red Cross Home Service has
assumed a position If anything of
greater Importance than ever. The
work of Red Cross Service as al
ready outlined, has assumed an
obligation which will be liquidared
only when the army is completely
demobilized, and all the dislocations
which war has brought to families
of men in service, have been met.
The extent of the work of Red
Cross Home Service has been in
creased rather than diminished with
the signing of the armistice. In
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia
and the District of Columbia, 40%
more families were aided by Home
Service during November than the
previous month.
The Importance of keeping up
Governmental insurance, while no
less important, is no longer SO OBJ
vious to the soldiers.
A great new set of problems has
arisen dealing with disabled soldiers
and the Department of Civilian Re-
lief of the Potomac Division, Red
Cross. has organized special
Bureau of After-Care to aid the
Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation and other government agen-
cies in solving them.

The WORLD SAFE

A Good Anti Saloon Slogan.

Prohibition has received distinguish
ed attention, as war measure. We

that breweries, distilleries and sa-
looms were prolific sources of waste,
so we legislated against them as a
war measure. Now we begin to won.
der why we should restore the right
to waste these always essential com.
mOdities and make it more difficult
for our people to be supplied with
them at reasonable price. 1t strikes
some of us that 1t is ordinary com.
mon sense to protect our democracy in
peace as we'll as In war.
We seemed to find out also that
alcoholic beverages injured our SOL

of intoxicants to men In uniform
Now that war Is over we seriously
wonder whether men who are not sol

A war that was carried on to make
the world safe for democracy found
Prohibition essential to it's success.
1t Is a tacit admission that we oriin-
arily don't take the best care we know
of our democracy, which means our
people, If we permit the manufacture
and sale of intoxicants for beverages
to be resumed. A few people have for
many years had a vision of our posi-
bilities as sober nation. The neces-
stiles Of war have extended the vision
until Constitutional Prohibition for the
Nation has become an issue of fore
most political Importance. The ques-
ton can be forever settled and settled

A NEW IDEA IN FARM MA
CHINERY MANAGEMENT.
March First Set Aside AS National
Farm Equipment Repair Week.

March First Set Aside As National
Farm Equipment Repair Week.
The week of March first will be
National Farm Equipment Repair
Week." throughout the State and
Nation, and every farmer in Mary
land who owns power farm machin-
cry should make out the list of re-
pairs or new machinery needed as
early as possible and place It in his
dealers hands for immediate action.
In carrying out our 1919 food pro-
duction programe we cannot afford
to lose moments time after March
first and by being thoroughly pre-
pared in this matter of farm ma
chinery, we can avoid many costly
delays.
The imperative need for definite
action on this question is easily un-
number of tractors, gas engines,
threshing outfits, etc., that must be
put in running order before the sea-
sons activities begin. The natural
tendency is to wait until we need
some particular machine before
ordering repairs. AS matter of
fact, it is only when we get ready
to use the machine that we discover
repairs are needed. 1t is this far
too, general practice that we must
relegate to bygone days if we as pro-
ducers are to become efficient in the
full sense of the word.
In justice to the factories and rail-
roads, many of which are still short
of help, we should allow sufficient
time for the supplying Of necessary
repair parts. Therefore, it is sug-
gested that every farmer go over all
his equipment carefully on the next
stormy day when outside work can
not be pushed and determine exactly
what repairs will be needed for the
coming season.

WHEN WILL W0MEN'S
SUFFRAGE COME +?
The Laqqard East.

Up to recent time the discussion Of
Suffrage for women has been confined
to debate as to whether this RICH
should be accorded to women at all.
At present it appears to be only a
matter of time and method. Will 1t
come by Federal Amendment or will
each state decide the matter for itself?
The following list of states have al
ready asked their women to share in
the responsibilities of government
Granted Full Suffrage Wyoming
Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Washington,
California, South Dakota, Alaska
Kanses, Oregon, Arizona. Nevada,
Montana, New York, Michigan.
Granted Presidential Suffraqe-Illi-
nois, North Dakota, Indiana, Nebras-
ka, Rhode Island.
Granted Municipal Suffrage Illinois,
North Dakota, Nebraska, Vermont.
New York is the only eastern state
which has Joined the ranks with full
suffrage, but the people of the Empire
state did not stop at halfway meas
ures. They have given their women
full recognition, not only at the polls,
but in state conventions and public
appointments.
The west is largely committed to the
principle of Equal Suffrage and if IS
practically conceded the world over
that political equality for women is
the only just and logical response to
their splendid service in raising money
and organizing relief during the war
period. In the states where it has
been tried no very striking results
have followed. Government did not
become suddenly better by women's
participation in public affairs as the
most ardent advocates of Suffrage
have sometimes claimed that it would
Neither did the women become mascu-
line and lose the love of home and
children as the noisy anti-suffragists
We're sure they would.
Public affairs have gone on about az
usual as any sane, unprecedented per-
son would expect them to. The votes
of women won't bring a millenial
reign upon earth neither is universal
Suffrage dangerous experiment.
1t Is up to US here in the east to see
that there is no unnecessary delay
about putting our states on the Suf-
frage map through debating about
choice between state and federal
ecment.

SOLDIER LETTERS.


Norman G. Pyle. Rising Sun boy
who is overseas, writes his mother,
Mrs. Ella Pyle, of the comfortable
time he is having since the signing
of the armistice:
December l, 1918.
Bcttaincourt, France.
Dear Mother:
AS you see we have made another
move since my last letter, in fact
only got chance to write once While
at Diriterville.
This is a beautiful winter day. 1t
hardly seems possible it is the first
of December with the sun shining so
bright and warm. Here in this
town which have named above,
"Bettaincourt," our Chaplain, who
is very fine man, and always doing
something for the interest of the
boys, has secured a light, warm
room up in what was once the town
hall, for writing and reading and
ell round comfort place to spend our
leisure hours where I am sitting
writing at this minute We moved
here the day before Thanksgiving,
coming by large motor trucks, max
ing the trip in a day, which was
about 70 kilometers, coming through
Chaumory and getting glimpse OF
General Pershing's headquarters. We
are located here in this town the
anne as at Dinteyille. Billeted as
they call it right in the houses, quite
a good size town and comfortably
located with fires and electric light,
quite an improvement over the
candle. You can imagine it seems
quite strange, to just press the but
ton. l am in best of health as |
have been ever since left the
States, weigh 175 lbs. and there is
every bright prospect now of arriv-
ing back home with you all o. k.
very socn I hope, which will be some
happy day for us all.
I see by the papers that number
have been mustered out from the
training camps in the States. Some
happy bunch of boys I am sure
/ received a number of letters just
before we moved, one from you all,
and on Thanksgiving morning one
from J. K Thompson, Ada, Arvilla,
Louise, Verna, Sara, cousin Mary
Haines, and several from you, ten in
all, which helped to make my day
e very pleasant one. In the morn
ing Battery = and F, which are To-
Gated here together, gathered on a
corner by large church with the
baid playing at side of building and
Chaplain Prick, who is fine man
and one we are very proud of, gave
| us fine talk, speaking of the many
things we had to be thankful for on
that day Immediately after our
dinner was ready, which was very
good one. The menu was as follows:
Roast Turkey
Beef Potatoes
Turnips Coldslaw
Bread Butter
Coffee Doughnuts
We are doing very little these
days but moving around hope
the right move will soon come, which
will mean so much to us all. jerks
and Huntington are here writing, too.
