News"

No one has been able to formulate
an altogether satisfactory definition
of news. What is rated important by
one man is not so rated by another.
So it is inevitable for many to COM
plain of the Judgment of newspaper
editors But though there is no
agreement as to what news is, there
is general agreement as to what it
is not.
1t is not prophecy. News deals
with the present and the immediate
past and little with the future. Its
raw material consists of events that
have occurred The newsman who
becomes a prophet fails, as prophets
generally do. But when prediction
is plainly presented as such no par
ticular harm is done. for the sensible
reader discounts its value and is not
deceived.-New York Tribune.

LEGISLATURE ENDS,
ADMINISTRATION
BILLS THROUGH

Powell bill. amending Cusnberland
Registration laws.
: All acts Of this Legislature were
passed BY three-fifths majority and
become effective when signed.
Fight Was STAYED on
A fight was made TO srolong the de-
liberations OF the lawmakers. The
Republicans were largely responsible
for this. To secure the States ratii-
cation of suffrage. which had been de-
MED n the regular session last winter
and also TO go on record for the en-
forcement Of the Volstead Dry Act
were at the bottom Of the, move. Bui
the Democrats. together with few Of
the Republican members joined md
prevented such movement. The Sen
ate was first TO "stand pat" for passing
only the Administration bills, but ii
was not long before the House also
viewed the situation in the same light
The Senate finally adjourned at 0
O'Clock and the House followed suit at
1918.

How Dry Enforcement Died

Tie House last night by a vote OF
4S to 80 defeated the bill introduced
by Mr. Gambrill, of Howard. and sup
ported by the Antisaloon League to
apply the Volstead act to Maryland.
Mr. Gambrill argued long and en-
Enthusiastically in behalf OF his bill.
There was no earthly prospect OF the
bill becoming law as the Senate
had adjourned In addition this bill,
as all other bills not included in the
Governors call, had been banned by
the Governor
Mr. Gambrill was anxious to place
himself ana his colleagues on record
on the application of federal law to
Maryland despite the fact that the
legislature in regular session had
turned down the Volstead law. Mr..
Gambrill in his speech justified his
present position on the ground that
since the adjournment of the regu-
lar session the Supreme Court had
upheld the Volstead Act, that this
act is now a law of the land, and the
police force of Baltimore and the po-
lice authorities of the State should
participate in it's enforcement.
Women Must Tell Age
The House also put itself on record
last night, SO to 33, in favor of bill
to exempt women from the require
ment of the law to give their ages
when applying for registration. Mr..
League led the opposition to the bill,
contending that men and women vot-
ers should be placed on an equal
footing in revealing their ages. De-
spite the claim by Mr.. League that the
bill had not received the requisite
two-thirds majority and an unsucccss-
full appeal from the chairs decision,
the bin was passed, But what was
the use? The Senate had adjourned
without taking action.

Ratification Killed In House
By vote OF so 10 4S the House
defeated the joint resolution intro
duced by MIR. Coburn, of Hartford, to
ratify the Wcmen's Suffrage Amend
ment. The Senate had previously de-
cided to take no action on the prop
osition.
While no party lines were drawn
Republicans predominated in the vote
for ratification.
