Personal Liberty (7)

To the Editor of The Journal =. /
I quote the following from the speech Of
the president of the Retail Liquor Deal
ers' associations: I'VE should see to it
that no man is elected to office who is
not stanch believer In the constitu!
tional doctrine Of personal liberty the
fundamental principle Of our government,
which the fathers Of our republic were
careful to make the keynote of the con-
stitution Of the, United States.''',i 1t does
seem to me that the saloonkeepeer has
more different kinds Of nerve than any
other class of people on earth. What has
the saloonkeeper done for the COM
munity that he should be immune from
the enforcement Of the law? When he
should be very, very thankful that he is
allowed to sell his poison and work havoc
and ruin six days in the week, he talks
about personal liberty when he is forced
to obey the law I am democrat and
voted for Mr.. Jones predecessor but for
two years he absolutely did nothing. I
voted for David P. Jones two years ago,
and I hope and trust the republican
party will give me a chance to vote for
him again. Russell Holman

STORY BY MAY sfNcLAIR.-super-
seded, BY May Sinclair, the author Of
The Divine Fire" has been issued in
new form It was originally published
with another story in a volume under the
title Two Sides Of a Question" It now
stands alone, and the author regards it
as her best work. excepting, of course,
The Divine Fire" It is the story Of two
schoolteachers, one a, rule-ridden soul,
Grown old and bent in the service, and
the other a woman of beauty and vital
ity who helps her more burdened col
league to see some of the beauty OF life.
The story is pathetic, but contains some
genuine humor and not few drives at
the British educational system, especially
as applied to girls schools

KENTUCKY BELLIES

Singular Lack of Gallantry Shown

Joufnat special service.
Paris, Aug. 4.-The French republic
and the press are showing singular laek
Of gallantry in the treatment OF the
thirty Kentucky girls who are touring
Europe under the auspices Of the Louis
vile Courier-Journal.
Against all the facts, it has been as
sumed that these girls represent q
beauty show, instead of having been
selected for their popularity. =,
The visitors are happy and healthy
young women, conspicuous neither for
rare features nor for what the French
consider sartorial elegance. But 500
Parisians gathered at the station to see
the transatlantic beauty en- masse and
from 1900 to 1000 waiting at the hotel
showed almost indignation at their fool
ish disappointment. AS the girls strag-
gled out Of the train with their
e gripsO and waited for the omnibus.
there was at first silence, then here and
there laugh. then. various .uncompli-

class vaudeville especially arranged for
the week. The big feature will proper

crack lightning drill corps of the world,
whose first appearance here was made
at this house last season.
Second only in Importance to the en-
gagement Of the Pekin Zouaves will be

vaudeville, of Dave Lewis, former prin-

The Mayoralty Issue.

The entry of Dr.. U. civilians
into the race for the mayoralty nomin-
alton makes certain a lively campaign
on the republican side. Two years ago
DR.. Williams was second in the pri-S
maries with about 1900 fewer votes
than Alderman Jones. John A. Schlener
ran third and DR.. Henry s. Nelson
votes cast in the republican primaries.
This year the field will be less split
up than before, and probably the vote
will be somewhat, less. Assuming that
the vote will be 25,000si it will take l2,-
SOL votes to nominate. On? the basis
of his former vote Mayor Jones would
have to gain 1,71s new votes from the
field to secure the nomination, while
DR.. Williams on the basis Of his former
strength needs 1857. additional votes.
The Williams men, assuming that all
the, votes cast for other candidates
were: anti7Jones, may figure outFa clear
majority for their candidate without
taking off coat OF opening vest
button. That this assumption is false
it will take but the opening of the
campaign to show, but it is an assump-
,tion which will give the Williams move
ment a formidable appearance at the
start. The friends Of the mayor are
under no illusions as to the character OF
the fight that will be made upon the
mayor. It will be bitter and it will be
as effective as the secret use Of money
can make it.. But neither need the vot-
'ers be under any illusions as to the
gmeaning Of the Williams candidacy. It
amounts to lifting Of the lid and that
lis, all there is to it. Those who, want
the lid lifted and the city returned to
the conditions which prevailed while
the mayor vainly strove to reconcile
the law with practice Of ignoring the
law, will vote against Mayor Jones.
Those who believe that forward step
has been taken in municipal admins
tration, step which the city cannot
!; afford to lose, will vote for Mayor
Jones. The issue is clean-cut and un'
mistakable. While disappointments
and grudges Of the past may enter into
: the campaign to some extent, on elthe1
p. side the main issue will overshadow al
!: others. It Is q fight between the hom1e
y and the saloon. 'e-'s~' :. u:. y

Timber Trespass Decision.

The decision of the supreme court
in the matter Of timber trespass, in
view of the fact that the pine timber
of Minnesota is nearly all gone, is
good deal like locking the stable door
after the horse is stolen. It -affrms,
however, on the first real test ever
made, a law which was drawn at the
instigation of former auditor when
he went into office, because it was sap-
parent to him, as it must have been
to every other occupant Of that office
before him, that the state was losing
millions of feet of valuable timber
every year. 1t turned out, however,
that the instigator Of this law never
saw fit to enforce it by prosecution OF
tgespassers. One reason, it is under
stood, was that he did not believe the
law would stand the test. AS result
of his placing his opinion above his
manifest duty in the matter, the prac-
tice Of trespass continued without much
interruption until a former public ex-
aminer, S. T. Johnson, acting under
direction Of the legislature, investi-

which was made the basis of proceed.

Wonderland Amusement Park

The Knabenshue airship- at Wonder
land park, is an attraction that has
aroused a great deal of interest. The
prospect of seeing this dirigible balloon
propelled thru the air in obedience to
rudder, has set the whole town agape.
People have acquired wry necks from
'rubbering' in hopes of seeing Ham,
ilton. the aeronaut, play ring-around-
the-rosy with the: city hall tower. In
terest in the airship itself has been de-
pendent upon its ability to make
"good.' s.'''''''"
Aside from the scientific interest that
attaches to the only. practicable airship
vet invented, there is deal of morbid
curiosity about the strengthening con-
trivanee. If Knabenshue himself had
been here, still another element of in
terest would have been added. GharleS
K. Hamilton, however, is equally as
daring an aeronaut, if not SO well
known, and his experiments with the
Ludlow aeroplane, during the course Of
| indicate that he is willing to take
chances. Tomorrow at Wonderland, un-
less there is a gale blowing, he is to
! encircle the electric tower and give an
exhibition of cutting figure eights and
aerial spirals.
Arnaldo's trained leopards and pu-
mas will be the leading feature of free
attractions. They are to be shown in
big arena cage, which Arnaldo enters,
Wien he puts them thru their program
of tricks. The act has an element Of
danger that add interest. Wonderland
is in spic and span order for Grand
Army week, with all attractions going.
There have been several new features
added to the electrical illuminations. A
