up or shut up. A bond for costs
was demanded of them, which
they cheerfnIIy undertook to
supply. While they were absent
from the court room securing sig

suddenly cleared for the judges
and with snap Judgment granted
both saloons license.
In Justice to Mr.. Whitehead it
is we'll to say that he is not the sole
instigator of these proceedings, he
has the support of II number of the
prominent men of the city who
are interested in the maintainance
of law and order in the commun-
ity. There is no disposition Gu
part of these citizens to deprive
the saloon men of any of their le-
gal rights, while they are deter
mined that they shall not exceed
them either. 1t has long been
surm;sed that the county court was
granting saloon licenses upon Pc
titions fragrant with many irregu-
Iarities. The recent investigation
has shown the correctness of the
belief. Tho citizens are deter
mined to exercise an oversight of
saloon license petitions hereafter.

Mr.. RooseVeit's Plain Words,

President Roosevel:'s letter to
"a congressman published in the
Review of Reviews, is a good ex-
ample of his power of expression
and ability to make his views clear.
1t is about tho Indictment and
prosecution of boodlcrs.
II care not rap for the polite
al or social influence of any human
being when the question is one of
guilt Or innocence in such a matter
rs the corruption of government
service"
There is nothing shifty or am
biguous about that.
''In case like this where the
crime charged IS one that strikes
at the foundation of the common
wealth, l should hold myself unfit
for this office if l considered for
one moment either my own welfare
or the interest of the party, OF
anything else except the interests
of justice. -
Mr.. Roosevelt mny be assured
that if his public acts are framed
upon these lines he can afford tc
dispense with the patronage and
and assistance of politicians who
entertain lower ideals of official
duty.
The people of the United State:
have bias to courage and honesty
Once public man demonstrates
these virtues, he can command

A license law appears prominently
in the oldest known laws-those OF
Khammuraba, king of Babylonia,
which haye recently been discovered
aud deciphered. In those days, wom-
en- exclusively, it seems, were the sa-
loonkeepers. The law is as follows
III a wine merchant has not received
corn as the price of drink. has r-ceiv-
ed silver by the great stone ;nl has
made the price OF drink less than the
price OF corn, that wine merchant one
shall put her to account to throw her
iuto the water" A rather drastic
penalty for selling Grink too cheap
1t was, however, less severe than the
punishment for allowing disorder ir
licensed premises: ''If wine mer.
chant has collected a riotous assem-
blage in her house aud has not seized
those rioters and driven them to thu
palace, that wine merchant shall be
put to death"

hatred for each other, and often

is because these various rivals OBJ
serve in their rivalries their codes

The first necessity for mutual re-

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty Of
pork, :" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionis themod-
ern method Of feeding fat to
the consurnptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.

prepared for easy digestion.

way, is half the battle, bu,
