Cannot Have Immunity.

The general practice of according
liquor dealers immunity from the le-
gal penalties for keeping saloons
open on holidays was rebuked by
Judge Peck at Jackson in his SEN
tence of 30 of them in that city. He
scored the authorities for presuming
to excuse the violation of law, and
taxed each S25 and costs, the aggre-
gate being 81 ,00l Sc The cases
arose from the Fourth of July cele-
bration, the local officers promising
not to prosecute. On this the liquor
men contributed to the celebration
fund.

Ing OF work for the future. scheduled
for the.meetIng. will. OF necessity, take
place later. The Civic Improvement
league has had decidedly an up hill
existence almost since Its inception.
The only reason for Its existence liz that
the city may be benefited and II seems
pity the organization has not all
along been accorded the hearty sup
port OF the public that 1t so much de-
serves. There are "a individual men,
bers OF the league and a number of
fraternal bodies are identified with the
organization. but In spite OF this the
Civic Improvement league has some
how got lost In the shuttle. In order
TO obviate this apparent inattention to
most worthy cause II is being suggest
ed that the league affiliate with some
other body in the city, whose aim is for
the betterment Of the community, at
the same time retaining its individual
ity as the chief factor for practical and
immediate amelioration OF the innum-
cradle evils that are constantly in evil
dence when an organized movement is
not on foot to keep them down. The
Idea Is 10 have the Push club or the
woman's club take the league under
Its wing, so to speak. and that would
he ample assurance that quorum
would invariably be in attendance to
transact business and more attention
would naturally be given to 1t seeing
that another organization, a larger and
stronger one. would be directly inter-
ested in Its success. The league could
act somewhat as committee OH mat
ters of improvement are guided and
encouraged by the club, with which II
would be affiliated, would unquestion-
ably attain the object for which it has
for so long made such intellectual
quest--a clean city.

Galloway's bin to license sailor board
Ing house men and to protect sailors
--the measure known as anti-crimp bill
passed the senate with amendments.
The bill as II passed finally is different
In so many respects from the bill as
presented that the author probably
would scarcely recognize 1t, but It Is
generally conceded that as passed the
measure Is a thoroughly good one, and
that II win meet with the necessities
of the case fully. When the bill was
called up Senator MeGinn explained Its
provisions md advocated It's passage,
Some changes had been made in the
bin as II came from the house, he said.
The house bin had provided license
for keepers OF sailor boarding houses
OF $50 This had been raised to $3.50,
The house bill had provided that sailor
boarding house keepers furnish bond
of $4,000, This was prohlhltory and
had been reduced to $4,000, II was the
general desire Of the people, he thought,
that this bill should pass, and he there
fore hoped II would do so, The bill
was then placed on Anal passage, and
