DRY DAY AT ATLANTIC CITY.
Sunday Closing Law Enforced and
Crowds Go Thirsty.


Atlantic City, N. j., June SO.-The Sun
day closing law was strictly enforced here
to-day, and for the first time since 1876
visitors were unable to obtain intoxicat-
ing liquors at the bars or in the hotel
buffets. In some of the hotels, however,
liquor was served in the rooms. The
enforcement of the law did not appar-
entity affect the number of visitors to the
resort. The trolley line running to the
inlet, where refreshments are served in
the pavilions, was considerably affected,
as was also the business in the grottos
and beach cafes. Only one arrest for
drunkenness was made, and at roll call
tonight none of the day police force en-
tered complaint against any license
holder. The new order, it is said, will
cost Atlantic City nearly $4,000 of reve-
nue. every Sunday 1t is enforced.

THE LAUGHLIN BILL
Would Result in Lowering the stand
ing of the Local Judiciary.

Would Result in Lowering the stand
ing of the Local Judiciary.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Yorr paper deserves and is re-
ceiving the commentator of the pub
lie for the stand taken against the
adoption of the Laughlin bill.
The public ought to be fully advised
as to the truth about the provisions of
this measure.
1t is unwise, because it involves in
the election of judges OF the Circuit
Court the license contests. Under the
present law our judges are elected with
nothing in view but their competency
to discharge the duties Of their high
Offices, and therefore such men as
Judge Hervey and Judge Melvin, ex-
Judge, Boyd and Judges PAUL and ia
cobs, deceased, are not certain to Oc-
cupy the bench in Ohio county.
If the Laughlin bill becomes a law,
this class of men cannot be elected be
cause the contest would not be for eff
fciency and competent judges, but for
or against license. Every citizen with
property interests is interested in a
competent and pure judiciary. Mix up
in the election of judges the license
question and that kind of judges are
not likely to be elected.
The Laughlin bill is such hat it ap-
plies only to Ohio county, but vests the
license power in judges elected by the
voters of Hancock, Brooke, Ohio and
Marshall counties.
In judicial conventions Ohio county
would have a majority and would al
ways control the nominations, but the
voters Of the other counties would have
a vote in imposing license or no Ii
cense in Ohio county, while the pres
ent law would obtain in other coun-
ties.
II is all very well for Mr.. Laughlin
to pose as a reformer and he may be
sincere, be he should not be encOurag-
ed in carrying his extreme ideas to
such extent as TO do an injustice to the
people Of Ohio county or TO ~jeopaTdize
the interests Of ~litigants in the courts
of Ohio county by involving the judges
Of the Circuit Court in the inevitable
license contests. CITIZEN.

A MONSTER PETITION

Was That Sent to Charleston in OPP
position to the L%aughIin Bill.
The general petition against the
Laughlin bill is one Of the most re-
markable instances of exercising the
right of petition that ever occurred in
Ohio county. The blanks were print
ed and circulated last Friday night,
and the petition was sent away yester-
day, containing exactly 5,232 voters of
Ohio county. Scrutiny of the petition
shows that there is not a name on it
except those of bona fide voters of this
county, and the number shows that a
majority Of the voters of the city have
petitioned against the passage Of the
Laughlin bill. The number of petit
TONERS in this petition in opposition
to the Laughlin bill is greater than
the total number If votes received by
any candidate in this city at the cleo
ton last Thursday.
The petition sent away is an inter-
esting document, consisting of about
one hundred and fifty pages neatly
bound in book form, and contains the
signatures, mostly written in ink, of
1922 voters, as stated. 1t will prob
ably be introduced in the Legislature
to-day or tomorrow.

Sir:-Is the Laughlin bill a reform

Of lawyers and oticials 10 make fees?
Every applicant, according to the pro-
visions OF the bill as amended, would
be required to deposit twenty dollars,
FIVE dollars to go to the clerk and If
teen dollars to the prosecuting attor-
ney. Whether he gets a license or NOT
he is Obliged to pay this much for max
ing the application. The practice has
developed in PittsbuTg under a similar
law of attorneys making a specially
OF license business. the fees being from
two hundred and fifty tt five thousand
dollars.
The adoption Of the Laughlin bill
would certainly extract from each APP

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself of serioas
stomach Trouble Down to
First Principles.

FIrSt
A man OF large affairs in one OF
u prominent eastern cities by
too close attention to business, too
little exercise and too many club
dinners, finally began 20 pay ma
lures tax, levied in the form of
chronic stomach trouble; the fall
ure OF his digestion brought about
a nervous irritability making it
impossible TO apply himself to his
daily business and finally derang-
ing the kidneys and heart.
In his own words he says: "I
consulted one physician after an
other and each one seemed to an
derstand my case. but all the same
they each failed to bring about
the return of my former digestion,
appetite and vigor. For two years
] went from pillar topost, from one
sanitarium to another, , gave up
smoking, | quit coffee and even re-
nounced my daily glass or TWO of
beer, but without any marked i'm
provement.
Friends had often advised me
to try a well known proprietary
medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets and l had often perused the
newspaper advertisements of the
remedy but never took any stock
in advertised medicines nor could
believe a fifty-cent patent medi-
cine would touch my case.
TO make a long story short I
finally bought a couple Of pack
ages at the nearest drug store and
took two or three tablets after
each zeal and occasionally a tab
let between meals, when l felt any
feeling of nausea or discomfort.
Il was surprised at the end OF
the first week TO note amarked inn
provement in my appetite and
general health and before the two
packages were gone | was certain
that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
was going to ure completely and
they did not disappoint me. l
can eat and sleep and enjoy my
coffee and cigar and no one would
suppose l had ever known the
uOITOfS OF dyspepsia.
Out of friendly curiosity /
wrote to the proprietors of the
remedy asking for information as
to what the tablets contained and
they replied that the principal in
gradients were asceptic pepsin
government test malt diastase
and other natural digestiveS,
which digest food regardless Of
the condition of the stomach"
The root of the matter is this,
the digestive elements contained
in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest the food, give the overwork-
ed stomach a chance to recuper-
ate and the nerves and whole Sys-
TEN receive the nourishment
which can only come from food
stimulants and nerve tonics never
give real strength, they give a fic-
titious strength, invariably follow
ed by reaction. Every drop OF
blood, every nerve and tissue is
manufactured from our daily food,
and if you can insure its prompt
action and complete digestion by
the regular use Of SO good and
wholesome a remedy of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, you will have
no need of nerve tones and sani-
tariums.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets have been in the market
only few years yet probably every
druggist in the United States, Can
ada and Great Britain now sells
them and consider them the most
popular and successful OF any
preparation for stomach troubles.

was delayed while they had their heads
together. Mr.. Shafer took the floor
and called attention to the tiresome
delay. He thought there too many
third branch members present He
moved to exclude from the floor all but
members and reporters. The motion
was declared to be out of order and

Mr.. Milligan withdrew his motion to
adjourn and moved to go into joint
session to canvass the returns. The
First Branch members were inclined
to refuse to go into joint session, and
adopted a motion to that effect, but
afterwards reconsidered it and decided
to anvas the returns. Mayor Swee-
ney presided over the joint session.

President Hill waited to learn whether
or not he could entertain it. If the
face is an index to the mind, the
s~trategists made King Solomon look
like a 20 to 1 shot on wisdom.
To the average spectator the pres
ence and activity of the Republican
bosses was tantamount to an acknowl-
edgement of the inability of the ma
jority to conduct a meeting OF Coun-
Gil. 1t kept the average man guessing
as to who is to run the show when the
s~trategists retire. 1t is understood,
however, that President Hill contem-
plates giving his days and nights to
Cushing and Reed, and the s~trategists
will probably enlighten him upon the
unwritten McGregor rules. The Presi-
dent may find it a valuable rule that
one can count two in an emergency.
To be perfectly just to Mr.. Hill, it is
due him to say that he is courteous
and will probably make a fair presid-
ing officer if the self-constituted Board
of Strategy will permit him.
The Republican members were in
session for some time before the Dem
ocratic members put in an appearance,
and finally adopted the resolution re-
ferred to above. When the minority
members appeared, the rest was easy.
There was a Republican scramble for
places on the committee on commit
tees, and First Branch Republicans
insisted upon some places. This led
to a conference, and the Republicans
finally secured five of the eight mem
bers of the committee.
The Meeting.
Chairman Hill raped for order at
$50 o'clock, and Clerk O7Brien called
the roll. Twenty-seven members an
swered to their names, the only alb
sentee being Mr.. Killeen.
Under the direction of the chair, the
clerk read the names of members-elect,
who advanced to the desk and were
sworn in by VIM. G. Caldwell, notary
public.
Inasmuch as the Republican mem
bers-elect had been previously sworn
in, and took the oath again last night,
it was a tacit abandonment of their
contention that the former proceed
ing were legal. The members were
sworn in by ward delegations.
Mr.. Milligan offered the following:
Resolved, That the members appear
ing to be elected to Council be and
are hereby declared to be legally elect
ed members of the body for the COM
ing term.
The resolution was adopted, the
chair ignoring a demand from the
Democratic side for the ayes and noes.
The temporary organization of the
Second Branch was made permanent.
Mr.. Milligan offered a resolution pro-
viding for the appointment of a COM
mittee on committees, to consist of
four members from the First and four
from the Second Branch, to select the
standing committees of Council, each
ward to be represented on the commit
tee.
MT. Shafer said it was in accordance
with precedent to allow the Mayor to
appoint the First Branch members, and
he wanted the assurance that he would
not be deprived of that right. Mr.. Mil
ligan explained that this was the OBJ
ject of the resolution.
MI. Weisgelber pointed out how I'M
der the resolution the committee might
Zoe almost solidly Republican, and he
moved to lay on the table. The motion
was lost. and the original resolution
prevailed.

NEW STYLE DANCE.


The young people who indulge In
the dizzy waltz will hear with inter-
est that the heads OF Washington and
New YORK society have declared that
sitting out a waltz will be more
fashionable from now on than dane
ing, the only difference is that you sit
instead OF dance. The mans right arm
is around the girls waist while his
left hand holds her right. Her left
hand is placed on his shoulder while
her head rests lovingly on his bosom,
and all they have to do Is to sit and
listen to the music. Now that's some
thing like it. We have always re-
garded it as quite a nuisance TO have
to gallop a mile or two to have a hug
or two. A room full OF people sitting
around on sofas hugging to music is
more to our notion. This will give
the old rheumaticky brethren another
chance to waltz, and while many a
mar may lose his appetite for dane
ing he has to get powerful old before
he loOses his appetite for hagging a
pretty girl.
