Mid Winter Distribution Sale

1t has been our custom for years to hold an annual Mid
Winter Distribution Sale with a view Of reducing stock before
which occurs in the latter part OF January Inns
has always been eagerly taken advantage OF by
BUYERS and is one of the notable events in the trade history OF
Philadelphia.
This year, owing to the unusual depression existing among
manufacturing interests, we have been enabled to purchase
large lots of very desirable goods at remarkably low hgures'
and have added to our stocks these new lots OF goods at pro-
portionately low prices. The announcements Of this January
Sale, in the daily papers of Philadelphia have awakened great
interest, and the crowds that throng our aisles testify to the
merit of this exceptional offering.
1t is, however, our desire that those who may not be able
to come to our counters in person shall also share in the bene-
fits of this unequalled opportunity and our efficiently organized
Mail Order Department stands ready to fill orders or give in
formation regarding the goods and the unparalleled prices OF
this great sale.
All communications receive prompt attention.

Race Track Laws Unc0nstitu-
ttOnal.

As predicted by the RECORD two
months ago. the State Supreme Court
has declared the race track laws uncon
stitutionsl. The decision was announ-
ced on Monday by Judge Lippincott
snd concurred in by Judges Depue and
Albeit. They say the laws are uncon.
stitutional because they are special and
local, in violation Of article a, section
z, paragraph II of the state constitution
which says:
''The legislature shall not pass prl-
vate, local or special laws regulating
the internal affairs OF towns and coun.
ties; appointing local offices or commits
sions to regulate municipal affairs"
The race track laws are declared un.
constitutional because this statute reg
ulates the internal affairs of towns and
counties BY comforting upon them pow
or which before this they did not possess
or previously control and that a dis
elimination is made in favor of race
courses used prior to Jar. l, 1893, and
against those used after that time, be-

IL Disseminated against almost to the
point Of absolute prohibition and this is
q vice declared against and plainly in

The above is the pith Of the decision.
1t will be seen that the Court never
touched Oh the point of greatest objec
ton to the laws, the moral point, the
legalizing Of gambling. The gamblers
know this and would il they could, pass
y law to avert this decision by making
the licensing of the ace tracks uniform
like the granting Of liquor licenses.
The court did not consider the other
objections. The second paragraph OF
the same section of the Constitution
prohibits lotteries and covers the moral
ground of the case which was not men.
toned in the decision.
Some will harp on what democratic
judges did against the race tracks but
no credit is due them because it wa:
not done until the eleventh hour, unit
the people had decided against them Oh

fill its common law duty by asserting
their power that ''they are guardians Of
