crime by prohibiting 1t. Here mnrderers
have been hanged and executed for all time

cases are not constantly occurring. 1t is all
a waste of money wrung by taxes from hard
worked toilers to prosecute these people.
Then think of all the hard feelings and
trouble thereby engendered. Let us be
friendly. Just think Of all the revenue that
could be derived If license were given these
people instead Of foolishly trying to fight
an evil that you cannot stamp out. Then
you could regulate their evil dOings. In
stead OF shocking the world by bungling
and ghastly murders, the licensed man
killer under the regulation of law then
could do his work scientifically and the VIC
Tins would suffer less. And then licenses
for robbers could only be granted to per
sons of good moral character aud thus in
sure that the robbing would be done with
the least possible annoyance to all con-
cerned. Ofcourse, / would not advise any
one to commit crime nor do / want to be
robbed or murdered. Oh no! But as long
as crime will be committed in spite OF any
thing that can be done. why not make the
best of it and take conditions as we find
them? Then We would make little money

The law-abiding citizen knows, however.
that the money spent in prosecuting GRIM

At the last village election the people arose
and gave the saloon gang "blac1 eye, as
they supposed They deprived it of it's legal
permission But another complication arose.
Instead of electing men who were especially
interested in seeing the new policy of the vii
1age successful, the voters elected mon with
out reference to their professions on the liquor
question. They were selected because they
held certain views on the tariff and other ma
tional issues.

The result has been that while the saloons
were outlawed the saloon gang still retained
to large extent their influence in the govern

They remained open, selling strong drink or

their signs in the faces OF the public. These

In the interest of the jewel-Ioving wom-

autumn. The smartest brooch worn takes

tone and showing a splendid pearl or an
equally large and perfect diamond sunk
In the Verdant bed. Shields, hearts, cres-
cents bars, stars and diamonds of rich
red torquoise blue, Chinese yellow, or
glistentng black enamel are simultaneously
adorned with precious stones that form
a sharp contrast of color, and the newest
neck chains are linked sticks of enamel

as a wheat straw, and peppered irregu-

6-year-old mites escape the application of
fashionable whims to their skirts, and,
as it is with their mammas, the children
run about in eel-like draperies dropped
upon separate underslips of silk.
A very good word can be said for the

dance of pocket accommodation inside

coats are made of beaver cloth, melton
and sturdy Irish frieze, and others of

grown-ups. Girls in their teens will I'm
doubtedly use the long plaid-trimmed
capes that are shown now only as models.
Such capes are cut to fall clear 10 the
dress hem and have their sloped borders
of plaid in mixed pale-blue, yellow and
brown while the body of the wrap IS
