RENEW MARYLAND
WET! !''DRY' FIGHT
Law Enforcement Question
Before General Assembly
This Week.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SPECIAL Dispa tch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Md. February 4.--The
biennial legislative struggle between
the wet and dry forces in Mary
land over the passage of a state en-
forcement act will be the predominating
question before the general assembly at
this weeks session, which begins to-
night.
Ever since Maryland ratified the
eighteenth amendment to the federal
Constitution an attempt has been made,
in each successive legislature. to pass
state legislation similar and concurrent
with the federal "Volstead" act. A bill
providing for state enforcement was
introduced on the opening day of this
session by Senator David G. Robb of
Allegany county, the dry leader, and
lobbyists and workers of both factions
have been busy creating sentiment and
lining up the legislators The climax
will come at 2:30 O'Clock Thursday,
when the senate temperance committee,
to which the bill was referred. holds
public hearing on the measure in the
house of delegates chamber. Repre-
sentatives of the Anti-Saloon League
and the various associations opposed
10 prohibition will be present and prom
inent speakers will argue the merits
and demerits of the bill.
Delegate John G.. Callan of Baltimore
city, who is also president of the Liber-
ty Defense League, stated that several
thousand members of the league would
attend the hearing, as will large
number of members of the association
opposed to the prohibition amendment.
As the senate committee is COM
posed of three wet and two dry"
senators it is practically certain that
an unfavorable report will be submit
ted to the senate. The first debate will
then take place on the motion to sub
%titute the bill for the unfavorable re-
port. The dry workers contend that
The bill will pass the senate, but vet
tran political observers predict that it
will be killed in the House.

It is because men do not think of their wives as human beings that husbands do not try to preserve their wives affections. A man knows that his love for a woman can be killed very quickly. He doesn't long stay in love with a sloven, virago, a dumbell, a wo- man who makes no effort to keep herself attractive to him.
 But he has a theory that once a woman loves, her affection sur wives any sort of disillusion and brutality. So he goes unshaven and unshorn before his wife. He swears at her when he is angry; he says unforgivable things to her, and then he feels himself ill-used when she hales him into the di- vorce court.

If man thought of his wife as a human being, he would deal fairly with her on the money proposition. He would know that when a woman gets married she puts all that she has-her body, her heart, her soul, the work of her hands into the partnership, and that she is entitled to half of the profits of the firm, to be turned over to her as her right, and not as a gratuity. Yet not one man in a thousand ever thinks of his wife as having earned the money she spends.
