THE LIQUOR ORDINANCE.

WHILE A CONSIDERABLY proper
ton Of the new liquor ordinance
which is now awaiting the signature
of the mayor to make it the law may
: be classed under the head of unneces-
ssary legislation, It is in the main a
) desirable measure. If it is literally
and impartially enforced it will prove
long step toward the regulation of
the liquor traffic. There are many
features in the measure which will
commend themselves to those in touch
with the situation.
An important clause is that which
forbids the transference of a saloon
slicense from one Individual to another.
The reason for the provision is OBJ
vious. 1t will make it impossible for
man of good standing in the COM
munity to secure a license and then
turn it over TO some disreputable in
dividual
Another proper clause is one which
delegates to the chief of police the
power to say who shall and who shall
not have licenses, subject, however, to
4 1.-THE veto of the council. 1t has been
that under it the chief would have
an opportunity to pay off old accounts;
that he might even up scores against
individual enemies. In the frst place.
we hope Salt Lake viii never have a
chief of police so lost to a sense of
duty as TO use his Office for private
ends. In the second place, Of we ever
dc have a man of that caliber in au-
thority, the council has the power to
disregard his recommendations.
Specially stringent in the new law is
the section relating to the sale of
liquor TO minors, incompetents and In
dams. Persons who accompany or send
minor into q saloon are liable to a
fine of from s. to SIS. This should
put a stop to the practice of sending
messenger boys of tender years into
saloons to purchase intoxicants or to
deliver messages. They have no bust
ness in such places under any circum-
stances. For the protection of the
'saioonkeepers is a provision which
makes criminal proceedings possible
against minors who misrepresent their
'ages.
The work Of the police department in
securing the enforcement of the law
against Sunday liquor selling should be
considerably simplified by a section
which requires saloon men to draw
aside their curtains and leave their
screen doors wide open on the first
day OF the week. II this is complied
with it will be possible to gain an un-
obstructed and easy view of the in
teriors so that officers can tell at
glance whether or not the law is being
violated
For any infraetion of the ordinance
license revocation is provided. And
when a saloonkeeper has been once
convicted he can never secure a re-
newal of his license. Nor can he be-
come a member of a saloon firm or
Il corporation. In order, perhaps, to
prevent a possible monopoly of the
saloon business, the new law pro-
hibits the issuance of more than three
licenses to any one person, firm or
corporation.
On the whole. the law is just and
proper The drug store men, who also
come in for some regulation under il.
are mailing no complaint. No saloon
proprietor who desires 20 operate
within the bounds Of sound public
morals should object to II. either.

Bad For the Eyes.

ct is a big mistake to have your
face packed in hot towels in a barber
shop" said an eye specialist the other
day 1T is very bad for the eyes. The
towels, steaming with heat, are packed
about the face in such a way that in
evitably they cover the eyes. and there
they remain for several minutes, draw
ing the blood to the tender vessels of
the eye and swelling them. The hot
pack feels good 10 the face, and I'M
doubtedly helps to steam out the skin
but the benefit derived in that direction
is more than Offset by the damage done

A VERY BUSY LIFE
J. Sterling Morton u Prominent Figure
In Nebraska History.

W. 's'ti'hE It'Ftbh " IFbthIntnt FtRuFt
In Nebraska History.
j. Sterling Morton was born in
Adams, Jefferson county. New York,
April %. 1882. The first one of the
family of whom there is authenticated
record Is Richard Morton. n black
smith, a Scotchman and a Puritan in
religion, who moved from Hartford,
Conn. to lladlcy, Mass. and thense to
Hatfield, about 1868 or 90. Governor
Morton's grandfather. Abner Morton,
graduated from Dartmouth college in
1899. and his father. Julius Dewen
Morton, a native of st. Adams. VI. was
"a man of marked ability, having fine
business capacity and sound Judgment.
His mother was Emeline Sterling. a
resident OF Adams at the time of her
marriage, September 30, 1880. Remov-
ing with his parents to Michigan, at
an carly age, young Morton attended
school at Albion. subsequently at the
state university at Ann Arbor and
finally at Union college. New York.
where he received his diploma in 1854.
October 30, 1854. accompanied by his
wife. he started for Nebraska, arriy-
ing at Bellevue carly in November.
Here they remained for some weeks,
and then removed to Nebraska City.
lin 1899 he was elected to the territorial
legislature and was again a candidate
in 1896. but defeated by eighteen votes
in consequence of his opposition to
Chartcring ~"wild-Cat' banks. lie was
rcinstatod as a member in 1857, and
took an active part in the adjournment
of the legislature to Florence, a strug-
gle as bitter, perhaps. as any in which
Nebraska has been i~ntcrerted.
From 1857 "a 1860 he was very close
ly identified with the politics Of the
state. and in 1860 was elected to on
CrosS, but was uascatCd in a contest,
because of his party being in the mi
nority. Returning To Nebraska, he
took no active part in politics until
1866. when he was nominated for gov
crnor, but was defeated by David But
Ter. He has been a prominent and ac-
tive member of the state board of agri-
%cdlturc. and its president.
Coming to Nebraska when il was a
wilderness. he and his wife set to work
to build a home, and "Arbor Lodge"
was the result.
OF this home. Mrs. Morton was the
light, displaying in her family rela-
lions true w~omanhood. that of the sls-
tanning, helpful wife, and the devoted
mother. To her rare, artistic taste n
personal efforts were largely due the
beauty and harmony of Arbor Lodge.
Her duties to her ncighbor she counted
as secondary only to the obligation she
owed to God

Nebraska City's sorrow.

a Nebraska City. Neb., April 81, dis
patch says: The people of this city
were shocked this evening by the an
nouncement of the death of j. Sterling
Morton, at Lake Forest, III. Mr.. Nor
ton was seventy years old last Tuesday.
lie was taken sick last fall with a Sc
we're cold and not feeling better, was
taken &c Mexico by his sons, but the
trip did him no good, and three weeks
ago was taken to Lake Forest, to the
home of his son, Mark Morton, for
treatment by a specialist. a year ago
last January his youngest son, Carl,
who was his ~favorite and almost con-
slant companion, died of pneumonia at
Waukegan, H., and since then he
seemed to have lost much of his inter
est in life and was very depressed.
His death came so suddenly that the
people were awe-strickCn and stood
talking on the street corners with
bowed heads. and words cannot ex-
press the sorrow felt. As Don as the
news was announced nothing else was
talked of. Men in all stations Of life
express deep sorrow, for he was a
friend Of all and held in high esteem
by rich and poor alike.

Raised the Duty.

Collector of Customs Patrick Gar
rett. at I'll Paso, Tex, has created a
sensation among cattlemen in FL PasO
by ruling that all imported Mexican
cattle under one year of age should
pay import duty Of 1913 per head in
stead of 81, as heretofore. The deci-
sion has raised a storm of disapproyal
and the coralites company has made
a protest to the authorities at Wash
ington. The appraisement of the COR
rallies cattle was made by Inspector
Dryer, under the supervision of Col
loctor Garrett. The importing season
has just opened and the ruling will
effect thousands of young cattle that
are to be shipped to northern ranges.
