There was no intimation in respond

Court should conclude that the find

supported by the evidence and that
the trial court should have given
judgment to that extent n favor OF
the plaintiff, that this Court ought
not to make an order directing such
a judgment to be entered instead of
remanding the case tor a new trial.
There was no suggestion that, in the
event this Court agreed with the con.
should have been entered in favor OF
the plaintiff upon the findings. that
a new trial should be ordered so
that the defendants might have an
opportunity to offer evidence upon the
issues or that they mad any evidence
that might be so offered.
Counsel for respondents in the pre-
sentation of this case upon the hear
ing on appeal took the sole position
that under the pieadings, findings and
evidence the appellant was entitled
to no relief whatever. Although

Clean Out the Dives.

Sheriff Heider and States Attorney
Scott have the earnest appreciation oil
all supporters of public morals and
decency, in their determination tC
wipe out the dives that harbor women
In attacking the evils that have grown
out of municipal neglect, the officials
of the county are not only Kidding the
city of the worst of conditions. but they
are cutting off one of the chief sources
of graft On this account there must
be a great hue and cry. of course, but
the officer who does his duty fearlessly
need pay no attention 10 that. If in
suppTessing vice i'll its lewdest and most
conspicuous form the officer of the
law at the same time chokes the graft
er so much the better.
There are several kinds of saloon
keepers. but the law makes no dis
elimination in dealing with them.
Hence the man. who engaged in the
liquor business seeks to conduct n
place in a lawful, orderly manner. must
often suffer for the sins of the dive
keeper who debauches morals ami
ruins virtue. On this account the won
der has often been, that decent law re
speeding saloon keepers did not come
forward and band themselves against
the evils that tend TO discredit those
who bring degradation, not only upon
their own particular pursuit but upon
the entire community. The saloon
keeper who assumes to be law abid-
ing ought TO assist in wedding out the
dives and promoting higher standard
of decency.
Let the people with one accord sus-
tain the sheriff not only for his course
in attacking one of the worst of evils,
but for the enemies he has made in so
doing

Untaxed Alcohol for Industries.

The announcement from Washing
ton that the house committee on ways
and means will report favorably bill
taking the tax off alcohol for indus
trial use holds out the hope that this
long deferred boon may be conferred
upon the eountry.
With a practically unlimited source
OF supply in our vast agricultural prod
ucts. it is ridiculous THAI this country
alone among the civilized nations
should prevent the use of alcohol in
the arts and for light, heat and power
by a tax of about thousand per cent
upon the cost of production, regardless
OF whether il is drank as a beverage
or put to Industrial use.
Standard Oil interests, which manu-
factuTe gasoline. and the wood alcohol
trust whose product is now used to Z
limited extent as a substitute for pure
alcohol. naturally oppose the reform
They have argued that it would be pos
sible to eliminate the infused denat
uriZing substance and use this alcoho
for drinking purposes, thus injuring
the government revenue.
The fact that it is successfully de
naturiZed in all commercial nations
with enormous benefit to agricultural
and industrial interests is sufficient
answer 10 this.
