SUNDAY SALOONS IN ST. LOUIS.
Excise Commissioner Prevented From
Revolving Licenses.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. LOUIS. May 27.-,Judge Moore of the
court of criminal correction decided this
morning that Excise Commissioner Mulvi-
hill could not revoke saloon licenses for re-
naming open on Sunday. He held that the
commissioners power was limited to re-
voking licenses in such cases only after
conviction had been obtained in court. This
decision in effect strikes at the constitu-
tionalty of the law defining the powers
OF the excise commissioner, and virtually
ties his hands in the present crusade.
The saloon keepers. hacked by the brew
cries. IT is said will now wage open war
upon the Sunday closing. relying upon the
juries to acQuit them az they did five years
ago. when the crusade ended in failure.
Excise Commissioner Mulvihiil, neverthe-
less. says he will fight the case in the su-
rreme court. to which ne has appealed. In
the meantime he has ordered the police to
continue to make arrests for Sunday VIOLA
lions. and he says he will continue to &c
woke licenses of old.
II Is recognized that the excise commits
sioner is the only man who can enforce
the law. and II Judge Moores decision is
sustained the probabilities are that the sa-
looms viii run open on Sunday.

ELIOT AT LOUISVILLE
GUEST OF ASSOCIATED HARVARD
CLUBS IN CONVENTION.
Noted President Discoursed on Educa-
ton and College Work in the
North and South.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 27.-President
Charles w. Eliot Of Harvard University
was the guest today OF the Associated
Harvard Clubs In annual convention. In
an address President Eliot sketched the
history Of Harvard and other colleges and
commended the work they had done and
were doing. He said:
Is not education the main hope OF our
country? We feel 1t so in Massachusetts,
today exactly as the Puritans did in 1858.
We feel It the more perhaps because
strange races and strange religions to the
Puritans have invaded Massachusetts. We
have three Catholic races in Massachu-
setts-tlte Irish, the italian and the
F'rench-Canadian; and soon. II not already.
they viii constitute the majority OF the
people In Massachusetts. 1t il not the
south alone which has a race problem be-
fore 1t; and the one means Of dealing with
the race problem is the same In Massachu-
sets, or ia Kentucky; the one means IL
education.
Nv believe at the north. just as you DO
In the south, in the separation Of the two
races that divide the south between them.
We believe, however, that the very fact OF
separation demonstrates that both races
must enjoy the amplest opportunities Of
education. think that is the sum and
substance or the northern belief about the
southern problem. 1t Is a question for
generations working always through pub
lie and private education.
Education Tells on All.
Education tells also on the whole in
dustrial problem. The Industrial problem
Is mainly one of good will. The solution
of all the contests, of all the disturbances
Of industrial peace. Is to be found in the
one word, goodwill
There Is something different from love
In this goodwill It is impossible for us
to love some people. 1t is impossible for
US to love striker crushing the fingers Of
a scab on the stone pavement with brick.
1t Is impossible for us to love the capital
istic monopolist Selling upon the entire
supply of necessary Of life in order that
he may raise it's price to everybody. We
cannot love either Of those men. We are
told to love our enemies. and sometimes
we can: therefore we feel a sort of respect
for a stout opponent. but we cannot love
a mean, cowardly. grasping creature"

NO VIOLATION ARGUED
AGITATION IN ONTARIO OVER
THE DEPORTATION ORDER.
Pere Marquette officials Declare That
Their Men Were Not Brought
In Under Contract.

Special Dispatch to The Stnr.
OTTAWA, Ont, May 27.-Of1cials OF the
Pere Marquette railway take the ground
that the officials belonging to their Iine'
whose deportation has been ordered by
the Dominion government were not
brought in under contract. but were sim
ply transferred from one section OF the
line to another. Such being the case. they
argue, there has been no violation OF the
Canadian alien labor act.
Argument along this line was presented
yesterday by Nar. W. Cotter, general man
ager Of the PERI Marquette. at Detroit
and Mr. Stephens, the companys solicitor,
before Mr.. f. L. Newcouabe, deputy min
tster OF Justice. This gentleman. after
hearing tho statement Of his visitors said
he would forward their representations
to the proper quarter.
In conversation later MT. Cotter said:
I'VE have not violated the act a. inter-
preted and enforced in the United States,
and we can establish this II We are granted
hearing by the Canadian government.
We did not import the ofdcials to take
the place OF Canadians. The men trans
ferred have been a long time in our en-
ploy and have earned their promotion"
To Memorialixe Government.
ST. THOMAS, Ont, May N.-The city
council has passed a resolution memorial
izing the dominion government to with
draw the order deporting American en-
ployes Of the Pere Marquette railway. Pc
titions are being circulated and largely
signed to the same effect.
The Americans ordered for deportation
say they have been instructed not to leave
until escorted to the border They will
take the case to the privy council of Eng
land. IL necessary, they say.
Indignation at Windsor.
WINDSOR. Ont. May 27.-The action Of
the dominion government in ordering the
immediate deportation OF Pere Marquette
railway officials from ST. Thomas has
aroused a storm of indignation and dismay
along this border Three thousand persons
cross the Detroit river daily from Windsor.
Walkerville and Sandwich, and should the
American authorities seek to adopt retalia-
tory measures and discriminate against
Canadian employees an Incompatible
amount Of hardship will result.
The agitation already has done much to
prejudice American employers against Ca
madam labor along the border.

NO EXTRA SESSION
OR. IF so. AFTER THE FALL ELEC-
TIONS.
Mr.. Cannon Heading the Opposition to
One Before the Autumn
Balloting.

Led by Speaker Prospective Cannon the
opponents of an extra session of Congress
in October are hammering away on the
proposition that to call Congress together
before the November elections will abso-
lutely fail of the purposes desired. MI
Cannon is emphatic In the assertion that
the republicans OF Ohio and Massachusetts,
in Congress are against an October session
and he suggests that II the President is
determined to call Congress together be
fore the time fixed by the Constitution
November ID will be an ideal date. The
''standpatters," realizing that the coming
session Of Congress gives large promise or
being the most important session in many
years by reason of the vital questions that
will be presented. with one voice join In
Mr.. Cannon's suggestion for the later
date
Back OF this innocent suggestion, how
ever. is alleged to be a plan to put on as
long as possible the serious consideration OF
railway rates Should the President yield
to the opportunities OF some OF the leaders
and postpone the converting of Congress
until November. a tremendous advantage
will be given. 1t Is believed, to those friend
ly to the railroads. 1t is said that little
OF serious moment would be taken up I'M
til after the Christmas holidays. and that
Speaker Cannon would not announce his
committees until just after the adjournment
Of Congress for the holiday season. when
the new year would be well under way be-
fore the committees seriously began the
consideration of bills affecting railroad
rates. the Panama canal, to say nothing
of legislation looking to safeguarding of
the Treasury and providing a remedy to
cure the growing deficit.
Next Falls Elections.
Next year the Sixtieth Congress Is to be
elected, and the "old-timers'' realize how
things that are absolutely essential and
then get away for the campaign. By the
time May comes around they anticipate
that many who are now loudest in the de-
mand for railroad legislation will be less
keen In their desire for law giving some
commission. not necessarily the interstate
commerce commission, the power to reduce
q rate and put 1t into effect with appeal
to some court having the right.
President Roosevelt Is determined. 1t is
said, that there shall be railroad legisla
ton during the coming session of Con-
ated at Chicago. shows that he is ready for
the battle if there must be battle. His
announcements show that there is no
weakening on his part, and if Congress
wants a fight with the executive branch of
the government 1t will not be he who will
run away. Secretary Taft Is also pledged
to a railroad rate law, his speech in Ohio
this week vOicing the sense of the admin
istration that the people want some com
prehensive rate bill that will be fair to
the railroads and fair to the people.
