To Congress He Would Go.

In the current issue Of his paper, MIR.
Frank f. Williams. the genial editor
and proprietor of the Cecil Wing of
Elkton. announces his candidacy for
Congress, and his determination to make
a notable contest for the Republican
nomination in the First Maryland dis
trict. In his proclamation. Mr.. Williams
refers to various needs of the country
which in his opinion demand serious
attention by Congress, and he modestly
believes that as a member of that body
he could render good service in providing
for these needs. We have no doubt he
believes he is right, and we hereby tender
him our best wishes. for what they may
be worth. for success in the struggle for the
Republican nomination.
We deem it but fair to add, however,
that these good wishes do not extend
beyond the primary contest. Should Mr..
Williams secure the nomination, we shall
wish most heartily for bis defeat by a
good Democratic opponent. The First
Congress district of Maryland, composed
of the nine Eastern Shore counties, is
at present represented by Republican,
William \. Reynolds of Dorchester
county, who defeated Representative
Jesse d. Price by the scant margin of
BOG votes in November, 1913. The district,
however, is normally Democratic by
about 1000. and we hope TO see it return
to its oId-time inclinations by the election
of Democratic Representative IN Con-
gress, next fall. But if the fates ordain
that Republican shall win, we would
be pleased TO see Editor Williams become
the recipient of the honor.

THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES.

We note with pain that the war be-
tween the ladies who want to vote and
the ladies who do not want TO vote has
assumed recently a more dreadful char
aeter than ever. The additional deadll-
ness that has been impaired 10 this
feminine struggle Is due TO letter pub
lished some days ago in our correspondence
column from representatives OF the Ants,
requesting the press not to refer to the
s,lffragists as women" and asserting
that only female opponents OF suffrage
have right to that endcartng title, The
Ants have said nothing more since, but
they shot in that request poisoned dart
which they well knew would rankle IN the
minds of the suffragists. And it has called
forth shrleks of rage and scorn from the
enemy camp.
We will not intervene in this battle.
1t is purely feminine fight, in which the
main issue is not involved Are female
suffraglsts women is the point in debate.
That they are not satisfied with being
merely women seems to be conceded. But
do they cease TO be women when they ask
to be classified politically with men, and
do they lose sex standing and sex privi-
leges in their demand for equality?
We shall not JOIN IN this part OF the
controversy, except to say that the ladies
opposed have shown their knowledge OF
feminine nature in fsshioning an extreme
ly harbcd and irritating shaft. And from
the manner IN which the victims cry out
we should say that the latter are at least
feminine enough TO feel like pulling some
bodys hair-Baltlmorc sun.

YOUNG FOLKS ON THE FARM.

As result of new poultry law IN
Oklahoma, mongrel chickens are rapidly
disappearing from that young giant among
new States. Psfre-bred poultry IS replac-
ing the old kind because OF the spread Of
sound information on the subject and the
encouragement of the best methods OF
active operations, beginning with chill
dren of school age, who are found TO take a
keen interest in the movement. In each
school district is now held an annual
poultry show, with numerous prizes.
Fifteen thousand children have been
organized in poultry clubs and the youth
full members know why pure-bred stock IS
better than the old scrub stocks. The
financial difference is marked, and the
children have become familiar with the
practical details. AT the school district
exhibitions the display entered for prizes
is fine and attracts spectators OF all ages.
If any Of an older generation continue to
maintain that chicken Is a chicken, they
are sileneed by the comparisons In sight
and beyond dispute.
Pure-bred animals of all kinds would be
worth a vast sum to those engaged IN
agriculture and to the country as well.
The juvenile clubs are a decidedly I'M
portant help. The corn clubs, pig clubs,
canning clubs and Others OF O similar
nature are vigorously alive, and they are
multiplying fast. And the children are
allowed due consideration as business
partners. No longer Is it the rule that the
children may own young animals, but

Is there a God above the blue,

With mothers hand to guide and cheer,

Joy and gadness at our board.
Peace and quiet everywhere,
Then we raise our voice IN PRAYER,
But when we shed the silent tear,
No friend to guide, no friend to cheer.
No home except the silent blue,
Bowed down with grief, afliiction too,
Then earths a dark and dreary place
Where 'er we wander on its face.
God seems TO forget HIS loving child
Out In .he storm of life so wild
When thus bowed down with grief and care
Visions of happy days are there.

FRENCH DISILLUSIONMENT.

In 1871 Germany got from US 5000
0O0, 600 francs in gold. Would she have
succeeded in getting such sum as easily
In 1918 if she had been successful? Ger.
many herself had no such sum after her
defeat. IL is difficult 10 conceive OF the
possibility Of Germany in disaster being Ii
a position to make prompt compensation
for all our sacrifices.
1t might be urged In reply: Victorious
Germany would have discovered a means
of securing payment from US. She would
have made us work like slaves. Why have
we not pursued similar course towards
her." We should answer In the first place
that these slaves would have had too many
nasters-English,F French, Americans, dis
agreeing among themselves as TO the con-
ditions of the work or the distribution OF
the product In the second place, our
reply would be that an entire nation will
not work under the lash. We ourselves, In
the full flush of our victory and entirely
unrestrained, are barely able to set our
selves TO our tasks. Are We to do French
laborers the injustice OF believing that
they would have resigned themselves to
German dictation?
What contradictions and mlsunder-
standings have been oursl The great sin
of the various governments that have sue
ceeded each other in France since the war
has perhaps been that they have allowed
public spirit to go astray. Would 1t not
have been better, at each stage OF affairs,
frankly TO have presented the situation IN
all its aspects?-Paris Figaro.

ALo.n 10 Germany.

The subject of loan to Germany, to be
fioated in Allied and neutral countries, is
now under consideration. Most New
York City bankers, however, believe 1t
would be very difficult to float any con-
siderable part Of such loan in this
country. Some, who are in decided
minority, believe it would be possible to
dispose of from s5o. .OOO, 900 to 0,000,-
900 of such loan among those who are
in sympathy with Germany, and it must
be admitted there are many such in our
country.
The only chance for an American par
ticipation in such q scheme, most bank
ers said, was for it to be made gov
ernmential. or at least a semi-govern-
mental, affair. II the United States
government wants to go in with 1.-The
several European governments, and possi-
bly, with Japan. in the transaction,
these men thought it might be possible
to arrange it, but they were not at all
sure that Congress would favor plan
of this kind, especially after its treat
ment of the suggested ''relief" loan to
Hungary 1t is possible and more than
few think probable, that England and the
European neutrals will arrange the so
called international loan. England is
understood to have made rapid strides
in regaining German trade IN recent
months. and IL is believed here that
English bankers and merchants will be
willing to strain themselves to put the
Germans in funds with which they
could continue buying in England. As
for the neutrals, especially the Scandi-
navian countries, they are already heav-
ily committed to Germany, and 1T is
thought they will have TO make further
advances in order TO protect what they
have already loaned TO the Central En-
pires.
However, while 1t is only natural there
should be hostility to proposition that
our people should loan money 20 Germany,
a country with which we recently were at
war. and with which We have not vet
declared peace. il is also fact, TO use
homely old adage, that business is busi-
ness" Germany at this time is in dire
financial straits She has need of pro-
duction, but is handicapped by lack Of
capital. There will be. good money IN
trade with Germany, and there is no
reason why our country should not par-
ticipate in the financial benefits OF such
trade.
And so it is probable the proposition
of loan 70 Germany will be considered
n this country, as in all Others. on
practical business basis. If participation
will paw, it will be forthcoming. If there
IS no such promise, the subject will not
DC dropped. Mere sympathy will not
esult in many subscriptions to Geunan
oan.

PRESS COMMENTS.
A NATION AT THE CROSSROADS.

The country 10 at peace or ct war.
There is no third condition. It must seek
peace or prepare for war. No other policy
is consonant with prudence. This is the
alternative which Secretary Daniels laid
before the House naval committee IN dis
cussing construction estimates. It is as
inevitable as fate. There is no third way,
and the nation must choose.
Beyond more resentment Of wrong, we
made war TO gain peace and to promote
human Justice that should intrench peace
in time TO come. II we refuse to take now
the path toward peace we shall merely
have helped to make clear the terrible
nature and more terrible possibilities Of
war. We shall have no choice but TO
enter the rivalry of armament that in 1914
was SO crushing Europe as TO have COM
PEELED war, even If there had been less
cause in tyranny and overlapping am
bitions.
II we do not try TO make the rule OF
law between nations the rule also of con-
Daniels says, the full war program Of new
ships, and men and guns TO make them
formidable and destructive. We shall
need not only war training for youth but a
large standing army. Poverty, crushing
taxation, the postponement or defeat of all
projects of social betterment, wouid be
the result-preferable bad as il would be,
to risking the fate of Poland, Belgium or
northern France.
We are nation Mt the crossroads. We
can by our action declare the war q failure,
our billions wasted the blood of our young
men shed in vain and the lives Of school
boys mortgaged to conflicts still more
terrible. Or we can take the road toward
peace and travel il in purpose and en-
deavor. There is no escape from the
alternative. Nor is there any question
possible to sanity, as to which course the
people of the United States demand of
their hesitating servants.--New York

Has vanished in a kindly deed.

Give me some task that ! may do
To soothe your hurt and lift the weight

With every difference forgot;

That in your sunny days would not.

And peace shall find each troubled heart,
