adjourned without fixing a date for another
meeting.
Messrs. Latin and Mockett asked to be
relieved from further service on the COM

desire for more time to present final re-

little likelihood OF the committee ever ar
irving at an agreement. and consequently
relieved all Of the members. No other
business or matters were discussed at the
caucus.

A LEVEL HEADED MAYOR.

There is man in Omaha, Nebraska
who has good deal of hard, common
sense stored in the recesses of his skull
and he is the Mayor of the city. He
has carefully followed the experiments
of other Mayors in dealing with the
liquor question, and declares that he
favors policy of regulation instead
OF suppression. He refers to the adj
vocates of suppression as sentimental
lists, and says their policy gives more
trouble and less satisfactory results
than any other ever tried. He knowns
whereof he speaks because he has
seen the policy put to thorough test.
After resurrecting and enforcing ev-
cry blue law on the statute books,
to use his own expression, he says
that he is convinced that rs per cent.
of his people edo not wish their per-
sonal liberty hampe' on Sunday nor
at any other time: " desire NUM-
cipal government run on a reasonable
and broad-gauge basis His reason
ing is that absolute restriction drives
saloons and gambling resorts into Sc
eret places, where the police find it diff
teult to reach them; that merchants
cannot trace their clerks there, and
that strangers in the city are in dan
ger of robbery and death in these re-
sorts; while, if the Objectionable places
were open, there would be no resort TO
such concealment, but all would be un-
der police supervision.
The views of the Mayor of Omaha
are in perfect accord with those often
expressed by the States. The lament
ed Joseph A. Shakespeare, when May
or of New Orleans, regulated gambling
by adopting license system and plac-
ing the SALOONS under police super
vision. The results were most satisfac-
tory. The low dives disappeared, pol
ice blackmails ceased, and the evils of
gambling were greatly minimized by
the publicity given to it.-New Orleans
