and to vote any other way would be to
ALLEVIATE useful anti-saloon votes. Mean
time New York is a wide open city on
Sunday; everybody knows that. You can
get a drink in almost any corner, illegally
it is true, but with no worse bot her of
evasion than going in at the side door
instead of by the front. Of course the
up-staters lift Mortified hands to heaven
and inveigh against the metropolis as
modern Babylon. But if New York opens
it's saloons on Sunday and declines to en-
force the excise law in this respect, it is
cup to- the republican state administra-
ton. The hoWlers about New York's mi
guilty have conveniently forgotten that
there is such body as the state excise
board. This apparently obsolete organ
ization was contrived ostensibly to en-
force the excise laws in any community
which wouldn't or couldn't enforce them
itself. 1t has the power of revoking the
license of any saloon detected in violation
of the law: If the state administered ion
really wished to stop illegal Sunday liquor
selling in-New York it could do so in six
weeks through this agency. 1t hasn't
done so. Nobody ever hears Of the state
excise board What has become of that
body, anyhow? Doesn't it do anything
but draw in list of salaries?

Quoted the meeting.
''The Blight of the Army was the sub
ject of the speakers talk. She deplored
the military spirit which she said had
taken possession of people since Dewey S
victory. Dewey, she said, was received
with honors and adulation by people
who should have been far enough adj
vanced to deplore the necessity for his
slaughter of human beings. The popu-
lar lack of imagination she attributed as
the reason for such conditions.
eff the people had suficie Mt power of
imagination to see the other side of the
picture of war they would mot enthuse
over military pomp and glory" she de-
clared, "War brutalizes population. 1t
causes them to become reckless of human
life. I think the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley legitimate result of the
spirit of nilitarism and recklessness OF
bloodshed which has prevailed in this

Local Traffic Menace TO Life and Limb

old crippled man caught in the current.
His cane was wrested away from him,
then his crutch; he fell in heap and
would ve<y likely have been trampled to
death but for a huge, and half drunken
longshoreman who seemed to be the one
human specimen in the mob. He stood
over the helpless old man, brandIshing
huge fists and threateEingra variety OF
profane retributiOn upon any one who
should attempt to run over him. The po-
lice finally got the cripple out of the
way. Down stairs where the trolley lines
come in conditions are as bad and some
times worse. The solid masses of waiting
people are literally showed apart by the
tenders of the cars as they come in. On
the Bridge and on the elevated roads
alike the trouble seems likely to grow
worse all the time. Trains are run, in the
rush hours, as close as is compatible with
safety; sometimes trife closer. Relief
from better train service is impossible,
apparently. The new East River bridge
is nearer, but that will not afford much
relief. In fact it is doubtful whether any
of the projected systems will afford more
than a temporary relief since they ere
ate their own public as fast as they are
completed. The greatest possible bene-
factor this city could have would be some
genius who could devise and carry out
universal system applicable to a city so
situated geographically, that it is being
strangled by its natural barriers to ex-

a class all by himself, for everybody else

large numbers of country gentlemen in
