Trustees are now bound to pass the necessary
ordinances in order to put the responsibility
upon the Mayor. where they have tried to
place it.
That was a decidedly novel suggestion of
one of the nine wise men of our local Legls-
| lature, who Monday night. in considering
the application for saloon license, and the
| protest OF the mothers of sons in the locality,
said that the boys might do more damage to
the saloon than the saloon could do injury to
the boys. Good, that and the very best OF
reasons for voting to sustain the Chief OF Po-
| lice, who reported that it would be bad policy
to grant the license. Let the Trustee be
consistent. and since he cannot abate the
| boys, and the latter may be damaging to the
saloon and thereby involve themselves, get
out of the difficulty by refusing to have the
bar opened. The boys will be safer and the
saloon "cock sure SAFE, as the English would
| put it.
| Debs is SO uealing again. When he was SEN
| fenced for contempt there were two cases
against him. In each he was given a sentence
OF six months. Similarly the other defend
ants each received two sentences. But the
court in the charity OF It's heart ordered that
the sentences be concurrent. That is that
each sentence term should begin to run with
the first day Of prisonment. This was the
equivalent of abandoning one OF the terms
OF Imprisonment, SO that Debs instead of
serving six months for each of two otfenses
would serve but six months in all, and the
same rule WAS made in the cases OF the other
| offenders But when it came to the habeas
corpus proceedings and the appeal to the Su-
preme Court it WIGS necessary to separate the
cases and make the penalties cumulative AS
result, as the court below Is sustained. Debs
must now serve out two six-months SEN
| fences, or a year in all, and the same rule
| will apply to the cases OF the other defend
| ants AT this Debs and the rest of them are
squealing Justify and saying that the court
agreed to restore the concurrent order If the
case went against the defendants. But no
such agreement is of record. If Debs was not
coward he would stand up to his medicine
and take It.
| What charming ordinance it is that we
| have relative to petitions for saloons. 1t is
| provided that there must come from a ma
| jority of the residents of the half block in
which it is proposed to locate the saloon, a
| petition for o license. Let us see how that
| works Here is a block in which there is
| upon the half involved simply the saloon
property and the swimming baths, as is the
1
streets. Opposite and all about there are
homes thickly built, and having some scores
of the rising generation in training for fu-
ture citizenship. Yet not human being
| from one OF these homes can be heard in pro-
est until the saloon becomes a disorderly
| place. Such is the law, and it is a daisy.
| If it is true-we wish to disbelieve it-tbat
the Rev. Gibson is to go about lecturing on
| he arf,, hot tod N.
Emmanuel Church, public scorn should de-
feat his purpose. Let him be given empty
benches wherever he appears, and perhaps he
will understand the rebuke.
| Regarding the use OF the bicycle by women

Academy of Medicine, a distinguished physi-
clan of the East has Investigated the subject,
and thus sums it up: 1T is injurious for
some women all the time, for all women some
of the time, but not for all women all the
time" That is to say, he finds it to be not in
