SCOPE OF THE sTEHLIN DECISION.

There appeared I'm the court record OF the
Journal last Saturday the report Of de-
cision of the Supreme Court of the State
which may prove to be more far-reachine
in its scope than at first. appears. some
two or three years ago one John H. Stehlin
and College avenue. under the protection
OF a license granted over the protest OF
most of the residents of the neighborhood.
One Of the immediate results was a de-
cline of the rental value of property in the
vicinity of the saloon. and, of course. the
salable value also. To be compensated for
this, Mrs Nary z. Haggart and others
brought suit for damages In the Marion
Circuit Court against ~. Stehlin and the
owner Of the house in which the saloon
was kept. In the Circuit Court the de-
PENDANTS pleaded that they were protected
by a license duly granted, and the Circuit
Court decided that the license pro-
lection against such damages. The case
was appealed to the Supreme Court, which
sustained the court below, but on the ap
plication of the plaintiffs a new trial was
granted. which resulted in the decision
ferred to. The Supreme Court holds that
the State has right to license the liquor
traffic, but in the absence of any law upon
the subject, any one may sell intoxicants
so that license is not necessary to the
selling, but that the class of legislation
known as license laws only prescribes the
conditions under which liquor may be sold,
is prohbition-the IiceHse only regulating
the sale. This has often been decided, not
only by the Indiana Supreme Court but
by every court of last resort before which
the question has been. brought. The new
point in the Stehlin case is that a. license
from the State cannot authorize the
planting of saloon where it becomes a
detriment to others; and that not only have
the individuals who may be damaged by
it's existence right to recover, but the
community as we'll may proceed in a State
| case and have the saloon abated, and that
| the owner of the property as we'll as the
| man who has the license is bound for dam
ages.
1t is difficult, therefore, to foresee to
| what extent this decision may affect the
| saloon business within the State The
| question of personal damages will in
| every individual case be a question OF
| fact to be determined By the court or jury
trying the case Evidently there are neigh
| borhoods, at least in every town and city
| in the State in which the most orderly sa-
| loon would be unwelcome. If all individ-
uals whose property is made less valua-
| BILE a residence or less profitable
for rental purposes should apply for dam
ages it may materially affect the profitable
ness of the business, to say nothing of the
| liability to prosecution as nuisance, be-
| cause even a most orderly saloon may in
| some communities be so called.

VALUE OK FREE ADVERTISING.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of Kansas City, at recent meeting,
called the attention OF the public to the
assistance rendered the union by the press.
1t was stated that the value of the space
donated to the workers of the society by
the press during the past year approSi-
mated sSS5,OOo The workers were urged
to utilize the opportunities afforded them

edgnent is OF so remarkable character
to call for especial notice. Every newspa-

be largely increased. but he is not accus-
toned to the recognition of this fact by the
persons and institutions benefited by his
free contributions of valuable space It is
the custom of organizations OF a public or
semi-plblic character from churches and
reform associations OF all sorts, to amateur
musical or dramatic societies, to demand
as right or unquestionable privilege the
publication of matters relating to
their respective interests Wherever
such matters are of general Importance
they are printed as part Of the news which
properly regulated newspaper undertakes
to give. Often they are not news In any
sense. and are of consequence to very lin
tied circle. but an intimation that payment
for their insertion was necessary would be
met with indignation and resentment. Every
publisher learns that, although his paper
is published as a business enterprise from
which he hopes to gain a reasonable pc
cuniary profit, he must contribute freely to
every cause" Other business men who
have only money to give. may refuse with
out mourning blame. but not he who has

is not likely to have even the reward Of

eficiaries OF his gifts. Benefits forgot Is
the rule with the good people who are ac-
customed to the free publication Of matters
they wish printed. The calculation of val
ues by the Kansas City w. c. T. U. is an
unprecedented occurrence. That body, with
unusual intelligence and discrimination, re-
allies the fact that the press does not, as
charged by its critics, give preference to
crimes and trivialities rather than to the
proceedings Of the moral part Of the COM
munity, but treats the latter with the great
est consideration and as an aid without
which all movements for social regeneration
must fail. The sum which the society names
as the value of the space given it will prob
ably surprise many people, but if they will
make a similar calculation in regard to en-
terprises in which they are themselves in
terested they will discover. that the Kansas
City women made no overestimate.

THE PROFESSIONAL AND THE REAL
WORNINGMAN.

There never was so marked q difference
between the professional and the real
workingman as there is to-day. The pro-
fessional workingman, OF which General

has no trade and no industrial employment.
Against all sorts of labor in which real
workingmen engage he struck years ago.

coed Mr.. Powderly, and has started out on
his campaign. He has made speeches, but
none OF them contains a suggestion that
can give labor an hours employment. The
last heard of him he was in Washington

FREE-COINAGE CRITICISM OF THE
VOORHEES, BILL.

1t is very evident that those who insist
satisfied with the Voorhees, bill. In other
words, the silver coinage people are not so
blind as is Mr.. Voorhees,. or as he assumes
them to be. Take the Atlanta Consti-
tuition. 1t is and has been one of the most
strenuous advocates of the free coinage of
silver, but it turned upon the Voorhees, bill
in a manner which shows that it is not
deceived by its promises. saying:
In the light of the fact that our currency
system is now dominated by the single gold
standard-silver being no longer the money
OF final payment, but receemable in gold at
the treasury as the greenbacks are-the
effect of Mr.. Voorhees, measure will be to
make 1t necessary TO borrow more gold with
which to redeem the new silver currency.
This statement is reiterated in the same
article, and it is the truth. AS the Journal
has stated, the dangers threatened by the
Sherman act are aggravated by Mr.. Voor-
hees's bill. All legislation should tend to
closer relations between gold and the
volume OF silver which the country is
carrying. both by limiting coinage and
maintaining values. Furthermore, the At
lanta Constitution informs Mr.. Cleveland
that the advocates OF the free coinage of
silver are not so because "they want to
increase or initiate the currency but be-
cause they anxious to be relieved OF
the pressure OF the gold standard" Evil

Of the four crops-wheat, corn, oats and cot
ton-this year is s1,233.65S,OOO. compared
with s1,455.622.122 last year. The quantities
and prices were as follows:
Quantities. Prices.

Corn, hu..... l. 649 900 900 1,62S 600 81. 1914
Cotton, bls... 6,6GO0O0 67170O0 699 S4
Wheat, bu-... 4o0,OoS00o SIC. 900 81 e.
With the exception of corn, the quantities
were larger in 1892 than in 1893, yet the
prices are materially less with the smaller
quantities. Heretofore, under ordinary con-
ditions, the larger the quantity the smaller
the price, but this year is an exception. The
quantity of wheat in bushels is 116.00O.00)
less this year than last, while the price is
1913 cents per bushel less than year ago.
That is, the price is 16 Is per cent less
and the volume 221z per cent. less than last
year.
These are striking facts for which there
must be a cause. 1t may be said that 1t
is due to diminished exports but the sta
export Of wheat was larger in July, Au-
gust, September and October of this year
than during the corresponding months Of
last year. The same is true of corn and
oats, while the export of cotton has been
10000 bales this year in excess OF last.
To what, then, is the decline in prices
with lesser volume due? To the fact that
closing factories, discharged railroad en-
pioyes and silent mines have deprived hun
means with which to purchase the prod
ucts Of the farm as freely as in the past.
There can be no other cause In the face Of
a smaller stock in the country than year
ago. To the apt man, and particularly to
the farmer these facts convey an inpor-
tant lesson which is that the one great
market for the American farmer is the
United States, and that when that is cur
tailed in any degree low prices and slug
gish sales are the natural consequences.
The further lesson Is that no foreign mar
ket can make up the loss to the American
farmer when the American consumer does
not earn the money which will enable him
to become the generous consumer he is by
habit Such facts prove that, so far as the
farmer is concerned. the markets OF tho
world are a delusion and a snare IL they
put faith in them
