REVOCATION OF LICENSES.
Opinion by Attorney Duvan Regarding
Violations of Law.

The Commissioners today received an
opinion from the corporation counsel on the
question raised by the excise board as to
the Interpretation of section 13 Of the act
Of March 3, 1903, which provides that upon
a second conviction of licensed dealer OF
viola ting the law. license may be revoked.
The excise board desired to know if this
meant that in order to revoke license the
dealer must be convicted twice in one IL
cense year, or if license could be revoked
for two convictions made in an indefinite
period, or while in the business.
In his opinion Mr.. Duvall. the counsel.
calls attention to the fact that section z
of the license law provides that no license
under the act shall be issued for a greater
period than one year. Section Ii imposes
the penalties upon the licensed dealer for
the violation of the provisions of the law,
and these penalties are that he shall be
fined not less than $50 nor more than 500,
and upon every subsequent conviction or
such violation during the license year he
shall be fined Hike amount, and, in addition
% per cent of the fine imposed for the Of
Tense Immediately preceding, and have his
license revoked.
II am of the opinion" says Mr.. Duvall,
"that the penalty of revocation of the Ii
cense is imposed by said section only in
case of a second conviction In the same
license year, and that the license cannot
be revoked for two convictions. one or
which has been obtained in a preceding
license year.
The opinion has been approved by the
Commissioners.

Bruen Home Benefit.

A benefit recital for the aid Of the
Bruen Home free kindergarten and day
nursery was given last evening in the
National Rifles Armory Hall. under d.
rection of Mr.. Jasper Dean McFall. There
was a large audience, and the applause
which greeted those who participated in
the program was indicative Of the enjoy
ment the concert afforded. Among the
singers who appeared in the recital were
Miss Edith Pickering, soprano; Miss Lii
liam Chenowith, contralto; Mr.. Melville D..
Hensey tenor; Mr.. McFall, baritone, and
Mr.. w. H. Conley in comic songs. MI.

in her two solos, which were sung effec-
lively. Mr.. Hensey's solo was Tours Be
cause of Thee" and he was also heard in
the duet, Excelsior" with Mr.. McFall.
Honor and Arms" by Handel, was rem
dered by Mr.. McFall with splendid effect.
The hit of the evening. judging by the
enthusiasm with which he was received.
was made by Mr.. Conley. He appeared
twice on the program. and his numbers
were apparently very much In demand
as he was encored repeatedly. Miss Nc
Fall played his Accomplishments in skill
full manner. Mr.. Mayo's contribution to
the program was a nocturne by Chopin
and MacDowelrs concert etude, both Of
which were well done.
The work of the mixed quartet, consist
ing of Misses Pickering and Chenowith
and Messrs. Hensey and McFal, was very
good. The quartet sang opening and clos
ing numbers on the program, the last
number Good Might" from Martha"

Woodward sit is unlawful to use for the
delivery Of milk a milk bottle which mas

bottle has to the personal knowledge OF the
dairyman been properly cleaned. Difficulty

for inspectors to tell that the dairyman

has been cleaned since last USED. Inc oiiiy

Our Prison Night
School.

I ONCE knew a man, by occupation
farmer, owning quarter-sec-
/ tion of land, upon which he lived,
and by hard toll, amid the worry,
cares and disappointments of farm life,
eked out mere existence for a period
of forty years. At the end of which
time he sold the farm, receiving there
from a small equity over and above
heavy mortgage. Shortly after said
sale he became aware of the fact that
while he had been maintaining himself
and family by obtaining money from
what the land surface would produce,
but short distance beneath the sur
face was a gold niue of untold wealth.
Yet we cannot blame the man for liv-
ing on the surface, when he did not
know there was anything better be-
meath.

eeTHE intellectual growth which
led the whole Western world
hadits awakening among the
Hellenes of Asia Minor about
440 B. G. heirsituation brought them
into earlier contact with the old civili-
zation of the far East, and turned their
minds to greater problems than those
which engaged their more provincial
and conservative kinsmen in Hellas.
Thales and the philosophers of Ionia
were beginning to put hard questions
to Nature, to inquire into the reality of
things and the cause of change. These
thinkers discarded the old view that
the gods, sometimes styled Olympian
divinities, were the source of all things,
and endeavored to search out the se-
crets Of the universe. Their early theo-
ries Of nature seem childish enough
now but they were bold minds who
dared to break the bonds Of tradition
with these guesses at truth.

Compulsory Arbitra=
ton.
ton.

"HE injunction issued by Judge
Dickinson of the Omaha dis
trict court, restraining business
men of that city from boycott
ting union men, establishes a valuable
precedent in the industrial world.
Fair play is the idea embodied in the
injunction, and it is gratifying to note
this tendency on the part of union men
to invoke the aid of the courts in
the struggle. Already Judge Dicken-
sons decree has borne fruit, for Denver
union men confronted with like con-
ditions secured an Injunction to aid
them in their strike. Capital has since
the beginning of labor troubles success
fully combatted organized labor with
legal force, and with both cap
ital and labor invoking the aid of
the courts in their battle it will not
be long before court of arbitration
distinct from the regular tribunals
will be established in every state to
settle labor disputes. Such tribunals
have been legalized in other countries
and just why Americans have not
adopted the idea is matter too deep to
go into in this brief paper.
A survey of the industrial world
shows marked improvement in the
methods of strike leaders; violence has
seldom been used except by fanatics
and such strike breakers as were in
the employ of unscrupulous corpora
tions. That capital has sought to dis
credit labor by hiring rascals to create
disturbances during strikes was proven
by the Anthracite Coal Commission.
The testimony before the Commission
brought out the fact that many miners
also committed deeds of violence.
We are ali well acquainted with the
old methods employed by both capital
and labor in fighting battle, viz, lock-
out, boycotts, intimidation and the
usual game of bluff on both
sides. Let us consider the new order
of things. Take the recent labor
trouble Of the Great Northern railroad
in which neither the trainmen, nor the
railroad officials could agree upon the
points in dispute-they were in fact but
the second party in the dispute. The
vast business interests of the north
west really were to be considered first.
The business men Of the Twin Cities
brought the disputants to view the
matter in that manner with the result
