Congress Expected to Let Wilson Handle Liquor Issue
The Shepherdstown Register notes Congress may leave liquor policy to President Wilson, praising the move as aligning with liquor interests over temperance advocates. It condemns coal price gouging, highlights census data, and urges measured government control of railroads while criticizing the Baltimore Sun for opposing prohibition. The piece argues national unity in wartime mobilization and cites dry states and anti liquor sentiment as key factors. It contrasts German spies with domestic security and urges harsher action against traitors. It supports broad prohibition as a wartime necessity and cites Europe’s lessons on alcohol.

Remembering Shepherdstown undertaker Tommy Hopkins and era of bier funerals
The Observer recalls Thomas Hopkins, Shepherdstown’s cabinet maker and undertaker, who built sturdy walnut coffins and worked with partner Jacob Smoot. Before motor hearses, mourners and pallbearers carried coffins on a bier through town while crepe bands adorned hats. Hopkins, a bachelor with a gray high hat, endured jokes and later lived in the Entler Hotel era before being aided into a Baltimore aged men's home.
