Has Become Inevitable.

Tn the light of such events,' said the prime minister, the separation of church and state has become inevitable. Those who advise a revision of the concordat are those who condemn the government to final humiliation. 1 am in favor of a free church, but with the same freedom as our other institutions have. In real ity, it is the pope who wants a separa- ton. He wants to enslave the state as he enslaves the church. Let those who will perform penance before the popes; l have neither the age nor the taste for such practices"
 M. Ribot, leader of the opposition, re- piled to M Combs, declaring that the premier was a theologian gone astray as a politician and he accused the prime minister of flippancy. M. Combs made an angry retort whereupon great dis order ensued
 M Ribot demanded the right to speak freely and M. Combs responded freely but not insolently." Thereupon M. Ribot left the tribunal. declining to proceed. M. Combs sought to explain, but his voice was drowned amid the disorder that prevailed. and he finally withdrew his remarks to NJ Ribot. The latter thereupon resumed his speech. He de- cared that the premier sought to cause irritation in the relations with the vati- can instead of acting wisely and broadly with a view to improving. The rupture, he asserted, was the work of M. Combs, who must wear the responsibility.
 The vote was then taken. Premier Combs large majority was vigorously applauded. The majority is larger than that which the premier had at the last session. and this fact insures the carry ing out of the prime minister's policy con corning the separation of the church and state.

Since the finance committee OF

the tax levy for next year, discover
INK the embarrassing relation exist
Ing between the income OF the city
and the expenses thereof. some Of
lts members have been seriously
considering a project 10 license slot

should a license OF $50 be imposed
the city would derive from that
source at least $4,000 a year.
During the Ballinger administra-
ton, slot machines have been run
ming without paying n cent of rev.
enffe into the city and without mo-
iestption. Although slot machines
are undoubtedly form OF gambling
the mayor and chief OF police have
mate no effort TO put them out OF
business. As a result they have
multiplied rapidly in number.
During the Humes adminlstra-
tion there we're 260 OF them in op-
Grafton. each OF them paying an an
nual license OF s2b.
Members OF the finance commit
tee believe that the license could
be raised TO $50 and n goodly rev
enue secured for the city. They
cannot see why 81 should not be
done as long as the popular gam
bling devices are allowed to run
anyway.
