IT'S HAVING EFFECT.
Advantage Will Be Taken of Judge
speer's Recent Decision.

Advantage Will BE Taken of Judge
speer's Recent Decision.
Judge Speer's decision on the license
law has already had its effect in Butte
as a number of the small dealers and sa-
loon keepers in particular. have an
nounced their intention to refuse further
payments. AS the next quarters licenses
are about due 1t Is anticipated that there
will be a big falling OF in the revenue
from this source. It Is not expected. how
ever, that the decision will have any eff
feet on merchants and business men who
intend to remain In business In Butte in
definitely or permanently. as they recog-
nize that the revenue will have to be
raised in some manner, and that in the
end they will have to pay their proper
ton in one form or another. The officials
also anticipate some trouble from the
gamblers and are inclined TO believe that
many small games will be opened and
the payment OF the license refused under
Judge Speer's decision. Attorney General
Haskell has just given an opinion which
may give the city council a strange hold
on gamblers. so that they will not dare to
refuse paying a license.
The attorney general says a city coun-
ell may pass an ordinance prohibiting
gambling and enforce 1t. He bases his
opinion on section $500 OF the political
code. which gives the council power Ito
suing and revoking licenses, subject to
the state law, but the council may re-
fuse to issue a license when IL is best for
the public interest" Also. ito define and
abate nuisances and TO impose fines upon
persons guilty OF creating. continuing or
suffering a nuisance to exist on the prem
ises which they occupy or control"
Mr.. Haskell holds that gambling is a
well-defined nuisance. and being a nui-
sance can be abated- After citing numer-
Gus authorities to sustain his position. ne
says in his opinion:
Power is delegated to the city council
under the statutes to enact ordinances
and to suppress nuisances. All common
gambling houses are nuisances IN the eye
OF the law, being detrimental to the pub
lie. as they promote cheating and other
corrupt practices and entice a number of
persons TO idieness whose time might be
otherwise employed to the good Of the
community
"A cify has a right. under the general

laws. to declare that the opening and
maintaining and carrying on of gambling
houses, saloons, or clubhouses where
gambling is carried on, is a nuisance.
and provide for its suppression. The
power to pass such an ordinance Is. a po-
lice power delegated to II under the stat
ute. and such police regulations are not
repugnant to the constitution OF the
United States or Of the state of Mon
tana-
where the power Is delegated to a city
to suppress nuisances. to suppress and
prohibit the maintaining Of tipping shops
and gambling houses. and the city shall
enforce such law by an ordinance. such
law n constitutional The state may del
egate to the county the right to license
such places. yet the city may not only
suppress. but prohibit. the carrying on Of
such occupations within its limits. A par
~ having a license to carry on such
places OF business Is In the same position
as a person who has obtained a license
from the general government OF the
United States to carry on and maintain a
tipping shop in a state where the sale of
intoxicants is prohibited. The grant OF a
license from the government Of the Uni
ted States to carry on and maintain
tipping shop will not relieve such person
from prosecution under a state law where
the sale of fntoxicants is prohibited.
The issuance of a license by the coun-
ty treasurer for a person to carry and
maintain a gambling house In the county
VIII not authorize such person to carry
on and maintain a gambling house In the
city limits II the city shall, by ordinance,
provide for the suppression and prohibit
ton OF such business within its limits"
The city Of Bozeman has already pass
ed such an ordinance. to go into effect on
the LIST OF February. and the attorney
general says the ordinance is good and
can be enforced.

AFTER ALL IS OVER
The Merchants Are Now Adding Up
Their Holiday Sales.
TRADE HAS BEEN VERY GOOD
Yet the Buyers OF Christmas Pres
ents Have Been Conservative
and There 10 Still Money Left
Among the Families.

The general verdict of the bust
ness men OF Butte Is that the holiday
trade this year has been better than
ever before but not quite so good as
they had anticipated. Almost every
business house which advertises had
an increased trade over last year. but
many of them did not find the sales as
much greater as they had expected.
"A man can have no kick coming who
sells more goods this year than he did
last" said one Of Butte's leading mer-
chants, yesterday. II suppose we
should be satisfied with that But
had really anticipated a much bigger
holiday trade than we had. This Is
the most prospesous year Butte has
ever had. More men have been work.
ing than ever before, there have been
no shut downs and no reduction In
wages in any line and no big strikes.
Consequently / had anticipated a royal
Christmas trade. 1t was good. 1t was
But II wasn't as great as / expect
ed or as / had arranged for
How do you account for this?'
II think II must be that the people
of Butte are getting more sense. They
are prosperous. There are fewer poor
people in Butte probably than In any
other city of its size. There are more
families OF working people comfort
ably fixed In Butte than anywhere else.
But the people stand their prosperity
better now than they used to. They
don't blow themselves to such an ex-
tent. They buy Christmas presents,
but they buy more conservatively.
They don't buy the most expensive
things they can find simply because
they have money in their pockets. The
people of Butte as a rule are becoming
economical. They are satisfied with
giving modest presents
Then another thing which makes a
difference so far as we merchants are
concerned. There is a big increase in
competition. There are a great many
more business houses in Butte every
year. Each new house gets some trade
and the old houses have to lose CORES
pondingly. This is particularly true Of
the holiday trade. Houses which new
er handled holiday goods before, and
had always heretofore kept in their
regulay channels. put in lines of hol-
iday goods this year, and that nat
urally divided the trade.
still in the sum total there is no
doubt that more holiday goods were
sold in Butte than ever before, and I
think the merchants are satisfied. One
good thing is that there was less buy
ing on credit,-more cash sales,-than
ever before. That is a good sign. IL
shows that the people are prosperous
and are living within their means.
They are not using up next months
salary to buy Christmas presents

JENNIE'S PLIGHT.
When She Left Her New Abode She Did
So Through = WIndow.

Eccentric Jennie Hall is again in the
county Jail. She came to the court
house about z o'clock last night, bare
headed and thinly clad. and said she
wanted to break into Jail. She was
half frozen and said she had had moth
ing to eat all day. The woman was
put in a warm cell and given a SQUARE
meal According to her story, she had
been working in the home of a wild
over with a family for about four
weeks. Last night the man of the
house came home and told her that
the miners at the Gagnon had told
him he had better look out or he would
be In the same fix that John Galena,
whom Miss Hall had arrested for Sc
duction. had been. The man said he
did not like to be talked about that
way and the girl said she would leave,
which she did in such hurry that she
did not go through the door but, ac-
cording to her story. jumped through
window. She blames some other
woman with being the cause of her
new trouble and talked about killing
somebody.
