The Age is not advocating "open
saloons" or free rum, Neither does
it approve uureScrvedlv of the hid,
den saloon, the underground traitlc
that the present law tolerates and
it therefore urges the passage or the
local optlOn law which gives each
town in the state the privilege OF
handling the liquor question in the
way best suited oft. The new law
does not establish an open Nalo"n
anywhere; it will in fact lessen the
number OF drinking places, the
number in Burlington for instance
being variously est mated at from
one hundred to two hundred. 1t
doesn't mean free rum anywhere
free as it is now, for which the
author of the gentle communication

hibition. He doesn't want free rum

This does not leave many licenses

AND what does the cX-Subscrlber
think Of the condi ion of things in
Woodstock. where probably as much

WITNESS CLEVER REPLY,

Row of Judges.

Recently, during the hearing Of n
charge of felony. young man was
called to give evidence on behalf of
accused. and was about to be sworn,
when the inspector informed their
iordships that the witness had dis
ubeyed the order for witnesses to
leave the court.
The bench were almost inclined to
refuse his evidence inconsequence, but
the witness, in the most innocent man
ner, caused burst OF laughter which
even the dignity of whole row Of
JUICES was not proof against, and the
position was saved
The inspector, addressing the bench,
said: "ln order that there should be no
mistake, | distinctly said: All wit
nesses on both sides must leave the
court until they are Called" and then,
turning to the witness, he said: "You
must have heard the order"
"Ics," at once responded the witness,
according to the Detroit News-Trib-
une, Il did, but am not witness on
both sides!"

are quite number of the latter whG
can boast of his personal friendship.

eral, indeed, belong to his immediate
yircle, notable Sir "liilly" Russell, the
.eteran war correspondent of the
Times, who was once attached to his
lutte as honorary private secretary,
and has still, l believe, the right to
wear the household button when in
court dress. King Edward, until the
time of his accession to the throne,
was in the habit OF paying an annual
visit to Sir Edward lawson, the editor
and proprietor of the London Daily
Telegraph, as sort Of recognition for
the support which that paper had
given to his own and Queen Alexan-
dria's charitable enterprises. AT least
two dozen newspaper editors were
knighted by Queen Victoria at the sug-
gestion of the king, several newspaper
proprietors have received baronetcies.
