farmer. and the .nechanic and the manufacturer
The sentiment is universal The West has suffered
severely from business sagnatlon. but Is slowly re-
covering No boom IS taking place. but the tide Is
running strong and Whore the mining OF
silver Is Improbable the people have turned their
hands to other pursuits and while silver Is not being
mined to any great extent the increase In the pro-
duction OF other nnssals almost equa.s the loss"
When MIR. Wolcott was asked about Presidential
possibilities. and whether the silver would run
an independent ticket. he said
1T is too early to predict Many men are prom-

TO TAKE IT TO THE HIGHEST COURT.
THE COURT OF APPEALS MAY BE ASKED TO DE-
eide AN IMPORTANT EXCIsE QUESTION.
The Board OF Excise intends 10 have the Court
OF Appeals settle definitely the law upon the sub
ject OF the granting of licenses TO saloons within
two hundred feet OF schools and churches. espe-
c!ally where either churches schools may have
been erected after a place has been licensed. The
subject discussed yesterday before Judge
Freedman. of the Superior Court. upon an applica-
ton which was made by Alfred II. Page, the for
rner counsel for the Excise Board. TO have the
Court modify the recent judgment OF the General
Term. which directed a mandainus to issue requir-
ING the Board of Excise TO grant a license TO
Thomas Cairns for the premises No 700 Tnird-ave
This decision affects n large number OF licenses
and hence the desire Of the Board OF Excise 10
have the law settled by the Court of Appeals. The
saloon had been licensed for forty years. and
Cairns year ago took ten years lease OF the
place and applied for the renewal OF the license.
Ii refused under the law OF IS. which pro
hibits saloons within two hundred feet OF schools
and churches. The Church of St. Agnes. and also
a parochial school, within eighty feet OF the saloon
had been erected in 1923 The question to be de-
termined is whether the prohibition is intended 10
apply TO saloons that had been previously licensed
before the erection Of any school or church. and
within two hundred feet Of them.
Judge Freedman took the papers and reserved his
decision.
