JUST BUT NOT LEGAL.


Mondays session with reference to
"gaming houses and houses of pro-
stitution" will be variously COM
mented upon. The LIGHT is not dis
posed to carp over the ma tier, not
withstanding the ordinances were
rather rushed to final vote. There
is no question that the action is In
conflict with the state law, which
outlaws all such places, but the law
has not abolished them and the
grand juries and the courts have
failed to suppress them. The ques-
ton, taken abstractly, must be de-
cided adversely, if it be held that
licensing legalizes, but if the action
of the council be taken concretely.
and in its relations to the best interests
of the city, the LIGHT most unequivo-
cally believes that the action of the
council was the best action possible
under existing conditions. AS is
we'll known, the LIGHT fayors license,
high license and strict supervision
and careful regulation. 1t favors the
carrying out of all possible measures
restraining, prohibiting and punish
ing the presence of minors in any
licensed house of gaming or prostitu-
ton. The LIGHT favors this because
minors are the wards of the state,
and it is the province of the state to
provide guardians for them if other
wise unprovided for. AS guardians
of her minors the state prohibits
them from frequenting certain places,
and the city in licensing these places
should see to il that she does not in
terfere with these relations of the state
and her wards The council has passed
ordinances licensing these houses.
They are licensed because it was
found impracticabl BILE to deal with them
otherwise. 1t now becomes the duty
of the city to see that every regula-
ton governing them is strictly en-
forced. Gaming houses should be
held to strict account for the char
acter of the games played, and every
man should be given an equal chance
for his money. No skin games, no
loaded dice, or marked cards and the
house where such game is permit
ted made responsible. 1t is only do
ing openly what every one knows
has been done all the time in secret,
and by regulating it openly it may be
made as harmless as it is possible for
gaming to be. So with licensed houses
Ofprostitution. Under license system
they can be restricted to certain Sec
lions of the city, they can be the more
readily known to the police and
more rigid supervision of them in
every way maintained.
The LIGHT regrets the necessity of
such action as was taken by the coun-
Gil, but under existing conditions of
society it believes the action wise and
looks for a diminution of the evils
complained of. 1t will give all sup
port to strict regulations for the gov
eminent of the licensed houses, and
will expect of the municipal courts
and police snch enforcement of the
regulations as will reduce the evils
naturally connected with the places
to minimum. An added weight of
responsibility is laid upon the NUM-
cipal administration and the police
by this act of council, and the LIGHT
hopes to see them meet it fearlessly
and in such way as will aid in
maintaining the public peace and con-
serving the public morals.

ASH CREEK.

A new boy has arrived at j. w
BradY's. Billy is bound to be up
with the times. Yeeh & Msrklein
shipped two car loads of hogs Mon
day night =. The Democrat stated a
few weeks ago. that 1t would have
something to say concerning the New
ton road. We have seen a copy every
week since, but have not found any
thing about It yet. Mr.. HAMS letter
In the Dispatch was clear as TO the
reason for closing the road, but 1t
does not show a good reason, nOtWlth-
standing the high authority quoted.
Why? Because, IN the first place,
such a decision is of itself unjust, as
it could be used by unprineipled
men to defeat any road by simply
conspiring to lay In claims for heavy
damages, and when disallowed, car
rying their claims into court, for it
seems to be the opinion Of lawyers
that the county must allow a just
compensation, if the damage to the
claimant is in excess of the advantage
which the road would be TO him,
which, we are of the opinion, IS very
rarely the case. When a number of
househOiders petition for a road, 1t is
good evidence that the roads need
ed, and will be of public utility.
The reasons for praying for the road
may be numerous. A., may want an
outlet before his neighbours fence, or
set trees on the line B. may want to
stop a by-rOad which runs through
his cultivated land, or across piece
of land which he wishes to fence; or
| there may be no road to the town on
which public work may be done IN
order to make a better road, flor 1t IS
certain that the Overseer cannot COM
pei men to work on by-roads) or there
may be many reasons why a road pc
titiOn should be carefully considered
and justly decided upon. We have
been told that one hundred dollars,
besides what was paid, would. have
settled all claims. If the writers
memory serves him right there was
more than one hundred dollars Of
court expenses. Seventy-five dollars
damage and the cost of printing the
road notices, surveying and viewing
the road, all paid by the county anC
no road either. Now w9 do not up
hold the practice of claiming damage
on roads. We think that good roads
will pay all the damage that will or
dinarilly accUre to any one. On thi
other hand, we think that every mar
ought to have a road, and it is th
duty of the officers to see to it that b
gets it. 80. w. r. Mcclure has coal OF

The Interest Bill passed by the
house is as follows: The legal rate
is 6 and the contract rate 10 per cent.
If the money loaner takes over 10 and
less than II per cent he forfeits double
the excess above 10 per cent, If he
takes u and less than Is he forfeits
all interest. If he takes Is and less
than 20 per cent he forfeits all inter
est and half the principal. If he
takes 20 per cent or over he forfeits
all interest and all principal.
At this writing the Senate has not
passed the above mentioned bill and
it is claimed will not in that form,
but it is thought that body may pass
a bill forfeiting all interest in case
usury is charged.
