Newspaper Testimonial in Fav-
or of a Dry San Francisco

The Issue has elsewhere said some
thing regarding San Francisco and sa-
looms. Additionally, under date of May
II, the news was sent all over the
United States that the board of police
commissioners had by unanimous vote
ordered all saloon licenses revoked.
This action was taken at the suggestion
of Mayor Schmitz, whose German name
is worth noting, and who said that he
had decided that all saloons should re-
main closed for an indefinite period
He attributed the absence of crime and
the presence of order since the con-
fagration to the fact that the edict
idly enforced.
The San Francisco Chronicle also
takes note of these things. 1t says:
'This city for the past fortnight has
been absolutely free from disorder and
virtually free from crimes of violence
There have been no street brawls. No
drunken brute has beaten his wife. No
gamblers have murdered each other in
low resorts. Except for some dealings
with sneak thieves the occupation of
the police courts is gone. 1t is a most
impressive object lesson of the value to
society of the restriction of the liquor
traffic. We are promised a continu-
ance of this peaceful condition for a
considerable time to GOMEZ
And again:
''This absolute demonstration that
the saloons are responsible for all
crimes of violence makes it imperative
that, whenever they shall be allowed
to reopen in this city, their license fees
be fixed at a rate which will support
the police department.
Such testimonials as these are worth
hundreds of speeches for the value OF

The October Court.

The October term of Supreme Judicial
Court in Oxford County will open Tues
day of next week, Oct. 0. Chief Justice
Wiswell will preside. A new grand
jnry will be empaneled at this term.
The most important criminal matter
to come before the court is the case OF
Henry L. Harrington, who is held charg-
ed with the murder of Eugene Bryant, in
a camp in the town of Hartford near
East Sumner village, on the Sd day OF
last May. The two men were alone IN
the camp at the time of the fatal shoot
ing, which was done with a shot gun.
Aside from this, there is not an ex-
traordinary amount of criminal business
in sight, though the ordinary grist is
considerable these days.
At the last two terms, most OF the
civil business assigned for trial has been
continued on account of the pressure OF
criminal business, so that it is likely that
there is quite an amount of civil busi-
ness which will have attention if it can
get it.

Football.

Paris High School football team will
probably open its season next Saturday,
although it is not known for sure yet
who their opponents will be. OF last
years team only three men are now in
school, Clark, who plays quarterback
and will captain the team, Lowe, one OF
the guards, and Titcomb, who played
hal back. 1t is doubtful if Titcomb, who
was one of the best men on last years
team, will play this year; however, he Is
very badly needed, and every effort will
be made to get him back into the game.
Barrett, Bradford and Newell, substitutes
of last years team, will play this year.
The remainder of the team will be de-
veloped largely from material in the
freshman class. 1t is impossible to tell
how strong team can be developed, but
plenty of practice will do wonders, aud II
the rest of the boys in school get out
and help the team it is thought team
will be turned out that will be able to
give good account of itself.

Weed, aged %, while they were practic-

fell forward upon the floor, dead. The
aim had been accurate and the bullet
penetrated the forehead. The young

Tie co,Iexe Men's Club.


At Hotel Andrews, South Paris, last
Tuesday evening, nineteen men who are
college graduates, representing eight
different colleges, met in response to In
vitations sent out BY committee OF
arrangements, with the possible end in
view Of organizing club. At the bust
ness me citing which was called to order
in the hotel parlor the question Of max
ing q permanent organization was not
even discussed, but the election of off,
GERS was at once proceeded with. The
officers chosen are:
Presiden<-Hon. A. T. Herrick. Bethel.
Vice President-William r. Jones, Norway.
Secretary and Treasurer-Arthur X. Forbes
South Paris.
These three officers to constitute an executive
committee.
It was voted to make the name of the
organization "The College Mems Club OF
Oxford County" and to make eligible to
membership any man who has received
degree in the regular university course
in arts, science, literature, philosophy,
law, medicine or dentistry. Adjourn
ment was made to the call Of the execu-
tive committee.
At $50 an excellent banquet, prepared
BY the house on short notice, was served
in the dining room. After all had done
justice to this, President Herrick in
PRODUCED Walter L. Gray as toastmaster,
and an hour and half was devoted to
the pOst-prandial exercises, most Of
those present being called upon and re-
spending. Much interest was manifest
ed in the success of the club, and there
seemed to be general feeling that it
might not only prove profitable to its
members in a social way, but that it
might also be generally beneficial in
the cause of higher education
in the community.
No formal bylaws will be framed, but
the club will have occasional meetings
for social and educational benefit. The
next meeting will probably be near
Christmas.
Letters of regret were received from
several who were unable to attend for
various reasons. Those who were pres
