THE LICENSE QUESTION.

Ed. Telegram: Permit me
through your columns to ask my
anti-license brother to use his
thinker, ask himself, ask any
thinking man if there is not too
much license in the sale of in.
toxicants in town and city to
day. A conservative estimate
places the number ct not less
than 40 in a population Of 1000,
one speakeasy for every 100 pop
ulation. For more than 20 years
the speakeasy has proved strong
er than the law, in that they have
eluded punishment, and defied'
determination. The speakeasy
is Hydra headed. 1t suffered
martyrdom under the persecu-
ton of the Law and Order League
a few years since, and won the
sympathy of the law to the e1-
tent of compromise. 1t thrives
and grows fat under the law.
Whyp Echo answers why AS
the speakeasy-The evil exists
now and will exist. The law,
the Magma Charta of our protec-
ton and our liberty, don't know
it in any sense. Itdon't, it can't
even suspect it. How IN the
name of sense and reason can it
suspect when there is no evidence
of responsibility If the law
could but know, the law could
&C ntrol. But the law can't regu-
late and control that which
Knows neither law nor master.
The license system under the law
! can control and restrain the evils
of intemperence by putting deal
ers under bond to comply with
the law. The law is good and
strict. The city can regulate the
days-Sundays and holidays and
the hours for closing. The law
prohibits its sale to minors, men
under it's influence and habitual
drunkards. The court of appeals
has decided that the bondsmen
are liable to full extent of bond
for any infraction of bond. The
Judgment of the world is that the
only way to control the evil is by
the law and under the law. To
kill it you must strike it in head
and heart. To do that you must

Mr.. Fiske's Statement

The executive branch of the theater
trust, in line with the misleading method
that has marked many of the Statements
of that body, has sent to the various points
throughout the country where it's interests
are located VIGOROUSLY false assertions
as to the proceeding taken by the trust
against Harrison Grey Fiske, editor Of the
Dramatic Mirror, for criminal libel. That
proceeding was instituted at this time In
desperate hope to counteract the effects of
the fight against the combination waged
by Mr.. Fiske. From the results 1t seems
plain that the members of the trust have
overreached themselves. Mr.. Fiske was
cited to appear in the city magistrates
court, New York. The complaint in the
case alleged two distinct libels against the
trust. Charles Frohman, Marc Klaw, Al
Hayman and Abraham Erlanger Of the
complaining parties, were put upon the
stand, and for several days their cross
examination by Mr.. Fiske's lawyer was
vigorously prosecuted. They were placed
in the posture of defendants from the start,
and their testimony in detail suggested
that they, and not Mr.. Fiske, were on trial.
The sitting magistrate, acting as is usually
the case In preliminary proceeding of this
kind, held Mr.. Fiske in petty bail for the
grand jury, a body which alone can con-
tinue the case to a trial court. Mr.. Fiske
did not offer line of defense, preferring to
place the compliments in the position
which was inevitable upon their cross-ex-
amination. If the case should pass the
grand jury it will be brought before a regu-
lar trial court, with jury sitting and in
that event complete defense will be pre-
| sented by Mr.. Fiske.

Stage and Circus

The death at an advanced age last week

married a wealthy marquis and tempo

action of life of ease, she went upon the
stage, and was in rapid succession a

once challenged Blondin to test of skill
in the meanwhile the marquis died, and
Zanfretta married an acrobat named Sic
