Governor Tillman yesterday publicly ex.
pressed An opinion on the decision for the
tirst time since it was rendered. He was In Il
particularly good hu;nor when the small regi-
menL Of reporters struck him and began 10
ply him with variety OF ane%st0ns %on, Emo bsfo,e
the uncertainty about the decision would be
removed and the mystery as TO It's meaning
solved. He said 81 have already solved
my part OF it. 1t is now for the Judges TO LEI
the people know what they have decided.
don't know whether the decision means pro-
hibition or free liquor or what IT, means.
Who can tell what they mean? don't zee
what object they could have had In leaving
the matter In doubt al all"
"Well, Governor, what about that extra ses-
sione''

Ways III the wrong"
ut IS claimed by some that the decision
leaves the In w Il prohibition law and that the
police regulation feature Ui the law Stands
How about Ihat?"
Governor TlIInan replied: "All have to
say Is that the Legislature gave Inc authority
TO enforce the Dispensary law. When the
court delares the Dispensary law dead why OF
course my authority TO enforce IL dies with IT,.
I don't see what right | have 10 attempt 10

"Governor, whose business is 1t to find out
what The court means?"

laughingly the Governor said, "What IL that
Byron said about Wordsworth? On. yes, i
wish he'd explain his explanation"
The Governor was asked what he intended
to do about having the si0cks Of the various
Count DiRpensRrieH shipped back here and
stored; IL the rents and insurance would not
amount TO more than the expense OF doing
this. He said he had no authority whatever
TO 60 into tho expense OF moving the stock
and things would 60 on just az they are. Con-
cunt do a thing. 1t seems to me that the
court In so many words expressly declares
that the DlRpensary law is not prohtbltory
law The court denies emphatlcally that the
municipalities have the right TO issue IL
censss. Now If 1t Is not prohlbitory law
and the right TO issue licenses does not stand
and there IL no other law applying TO the H.
quor traffic 1t looks to me like free liquor. II
looks like anybody and every body can go out
anywhere In the country, at every crossroads
and everywhere else, and start up barroom6
and sell liquor. All Acts applying to the IL
auor traffic inconsistent with the Dlspensary
Act have been repealed and there are none
on the statute books"
Governor Tlllman then made the following
important statement: "The whole situation

status quo, shut up shops, Ecose up business.

Humanity to animals is duty re-
posing on the same foundations as the
claims Of man to humanity.
He that can feast upon another's
misery, veXation, or disappointment,
has most unhealthy soul.
When the best things are not posi-
BILE, the best may be made Of those
that are.
Old minds are like horses you must
exercise them if you wish to keep
them in working order.
We sleep, but the loom of life meyer
stops, and the pattern which was
weaving when the sun went down, is
weaving when it comes up tomorrow.
Power will intoxicate the best hearts
as wine the strongest heads. No man
is wise enough nor good enough to be
trusted with unlimited power.
= True conservation is an act of awful
solemnity, involving as 1t does the alb
solute surrender Of the human will to
the will of God.
It may happen to good man that
his worst enemy is his best friend,
putting him on his guard against his
faults and frailties.
When you have gained your consent
to do an unjust act against fellow
man, you have cut yourself off from
the favor of God.
Be such a man, live such life that
If every man were such as you. and
every life like yours, the earth would
be Gods paradise.
Be careful of your manners; they in.
dicate your breeding.
