BUSINESS MEN.
Are Strongly Opposed to the Saloon,
SAYS No.Licsnse Committee.

A careful canvass of the merchants
of Main street and Of the granite manu-
fscturcrs of the city shows that the
sentiment against the saloon is intense
and out spoken. Il Is more pronounced
than last year ANY statements that
are being made to the contrary are not
in accordance with the fact.
OF the merchants, as the canvass
shows, from S5 to 90 per cent declare
themselves in favor OF no-license. Among
their reasons are that the volume of
business has been as great or greater
under no-license; that bills have been
paid more promptly; that the appear
ance of the streets has bern far better:
and especially that It has proven that
no-license can be enforced.
OF the manufacturers at least 75 per
cent are in favor of no-license Among
these are several who voted yes last
year, and several who themselves use
liquor with moderation.
In Burlington the merchants are
alarmed at the effect of the saloon on
business. 1t is stated on good authority
that in the smallest and poorest equip
ped saloon the profits last year were
$4,000. This means that some $i5,
600 was spent in that one saloon. As
much or more was spent in the others.
And II takes no great intelligence 70
figure out that an immense sum Of mon
ey was thus withheld from the legiti-
mate channels Of trade. 1t is almost
an axiom, the more spont in the saloons
the less spent in The stores.

Peggy from Paris.

George AIDES musical hit peggy

politan Thursday. 1t is almost GER
tain that this announcement will be
received with pleasurable expectancy
by all patrons of the theatre who de-
light in musical comedy. And of
musical comedies, Peggy from Paris"
If accounts from elsewhere are re-
liable is one of the most delightful.
New York, Boston, Chicago and other
cities in which it has been heard have
pronounced unreservedly in it's favor.
In New York it ran four months, in
Boston five and in Chicago three.
Those runs speak strongly for Peggy
from Paris" Only plays that achieve
wide popularity can score such runs.
If the public in those cities had not
enjoyed Peggy from Paris" they
would not have gone to see it. And
their absence from the theatre would
have meant certain Punishment for
Peggy" But instead of exile there
was prolonged welcome which was far
from worn out when events compelled
the bright, witty and entertaining
Peggy" to take up her travels for
other points. 1t is said that in this
musical play George AIDE has dis
played much of his most brilliant wit,
delicious humor and keenest satire.
He has told an interesting story
through the medium of amusing char
acters who are drolI and original.
Every word they utter is witty, each
situation in which they are placed is
comical. J. A. Raynes, composer of
the music, has provided an abund-
ance of bright, swinging and spirited
melodies. There are graceful airs and
dashing choruses and many Of the
musical numbers in peggy from

THIS IS MY 6sTH BIRTHDAY.
Emile LOubet.


Emile Loubet, the predecessor of NJ.
Failliers as president of the French
republic, was born at Marsanne,
Drome, Dec. 81, 1888. The son of
peasant proprietor, he studied law and
was admitted to the bar. His first
political Office was that of mayor of
Montelimer. He was elected to the
chamber of deputies in 1876 and to
the senate in 1885. Subsequently he
filled the positions of prime minister,
minister of the interior and minister
of public works. In 1896 he was elect
ed president of the senate, which posi-
ton he continued to fill until chosen
to the presidency Of the republic. M.
Loubet is regarded as one of the
ablest and most successful politicians
of France. While he made no great
record for craftsmanship, he showed
himself great in the small details of
government. Throughout the length
of his public career, which he ended
when he retired from the presidency,
he was strong with the people and has
always enjoyed high reputation for
integrity. 1t has been frequently said
that no scandals over attached to his
administration of any Office.

SEVERE DlCIPLINE.
Pulliam Would Give rmpires More
Authority on the Field.

Pulliam intends to insist upon even
more rigid discipline in the ball field
in the future. 1t Is believed that he
will clothe his umpires with more au-
thority and that he will uphold them
in every instance of a clash with rowdy
to the opinion that the public will not
tolerate excessive objection to the UNI
pire's decisions or the deliberate for
fixture of games without good reasons.
Indications point to heavier fines and
ligerent players decide to behave
themselves.
