SALOONS, AND THE LAW.

The saloon business under the terms
of the law as it applies to that especial
line, is a perfectly legitimate business.
But of all lines of commerce, it is the
peculiar and habitual "edger," 1t is
never satisfied with its limitations un-
der the law, and is invariably seeking to
do, and be, just a little more than the
law permits it do and be. This is the
fundamental cause of its constant
trouble with the law and the people.
Last fall the Astorian tried to make it
plain to the saloonmen of this city that
regulation, and palpable recognition of
the laws and ordinances, would save
them infinite trouble, but the advice was
scorned and the paper condemned in
unmeasured terms by the whole fra
ternity for its demand that they get
in line and observe some of the legal
essentials. Now, another and more
sweeping law has been made effective In
two of the big precincts of the city, and
as it is a law that is not susceptible OF
circumlocution, but just simple edlct
forcing them out of business in given
territories, it is promptly obeyed; when,

rigorous statutes. and the business car
ried on with some respect for the man.
dates made and provided for its regula-
ton, the invoking of the local option
rule might have been avoided, Or at
least, defeated. Every time a saloon
passes the restrictions established by
law and the ordinary code of decency.
it invites the operation Of the law that
puts it out of running, and is therefore.
responsible for its own undong. The
business, as it is understood and oper-
ated, here, and everywhere has only its
legal legs to stand on; it has nothing
within itself to recommend it nor Justify
its existance, and should, therefore, be
the most careful to adhere to the line of
popular suferance; yet strangely
enough, it is the very last to conform to
any sort of prescription. Now, the
fear is abroad, and we'll justified, that
the prohibitionists will endeavor to ex-
tend the field of their successes and the
saloon man is on nettles to know just
where the next sortie will be made. 1t

platforms on which Bryan jointly ran,

in socialism as he desires to 90, and
farther than will receive the support of
reasonably conservative citizens.

Peter Fredericks of Detroit. Mich,

and seeing, the peril of the tots, hur-

under each arm, started on a dead run
for the nearest end Of the trestle, the

beat the train to the end of the trestle
by the merest scratch, the pilot of the
locomotive grazing his foot just as he
jumped with his burden to safety.

of James D. Carroll, James Gildey,

the added information that he had

AS Frederick Montague Hoyt ne has
