LIoUoR MEN GETTING CONFUSED

The License Committee in their
newspaper article OF Thursday October
TO- charge the Ant-License people with
interfering with their open-air meeting
at Fifth and Shipley streets. An
swering that complaint and In justice
to ourselves. we desire 70 enter a dis
clalmer in this case.
The Anu-License advocates did not
hold a meeting at Fifth and Market
streets on October 8. AS matter Of
fact our speakers had intended hold
ing an open-air meeting at that point
on that evening, but when our people
saw in the newspapers the announce
ment OF the first platform meeting of
the License forces, a meeting was
called by our Executive Committee and
a resolution was passed by the Com
mittee requesting our speakers 10 go
elsewhere and give place for that even-
ing TO the License advocates, m order
TO encourage platform speaking, and no
meeting was attempted TO be held by
our speakers at Fifth and Market, but
our meeting was held elsewhere and
was I'm active operation at Third and
Market streets during the time that
the reported conflict was raging on
Fifth street between tho Salvation
Army people and the License advo-
Gates.
While some OF the members Of the
Salvation Army. for all we know may
doubtless sympathize with the Anti
License movement. we are advised that
they were not holding an Anti-License
meeting on Tuesday evening, but were
conducting their regular Gospel outdoor
meeting at their accustomed place
when the License advocates with their
brass band came on the scene and in
terfered with the services Of the SAL
walton Army, then in active progress.
If our information Is correct, II
would seem to a dislnterested observer
that the License advocates were the
aggressors in this case and not the
Salvation Army people, as the Saliva
ton Army was first on the ground, had
been occupying the same position on
the street for a number OF years. and
we believe they were justly entitled to
their accustomed place for services. un-
less some amicable arrangement had
been previously made with them TO
close their meeting at an earlier hour.
We understand that they did intend TO
have their services at an earlier hour,
but as soon as the Army with its mu-
sicians started their service the L.
cense advocates started in with brass
band to dispute their rights and at
tempted to drive them off the street.
II this is true, the License advocates
we're the offenders.
As far as the Salvation Army people
are concerned We have no doubt they
are capable Of taking care Of their own
affairs. but in justice to them, be IL
said they have never been known 70
transgress upon the rules OF courtesy
and decency in this city.
II the License people desire TO be fair
as they loudly proclaim on all occasions
Il would seem that an apology is due
to some one for their action OF Tues
day evening. and also for their news
paper comments in reference to tho
charge that the Anti-LAcense people
were interfering with their meeting,

PARIS. Oct. ALREADY the throng
of pleasure seekers are leaving the
heights of the Engadine. deserting the
Norman Coasts. and are vending their
way southwark to taste the balmy
days Of "Biarritz's" declining season.
The breeze is blowing more fiercely
over the terraces Of the Casino. Light
gusts darken the nocturnal skies, and
sweep over the undulating foliage in
verlant valleys ruhling the rivers sur
face and making the poplar's long sill
vered leaves tremble convulsively as
they fltfully blow over the October
landscape. Already linen seems too
light; linen blouses. long, full and
warm have reappeared. Sable and

past. The masculine looking over
coat fitting the figure with its velvet
collar and cuffs and its dual row Of
buttons forms a very smart wrap. This
coat demands long sleeves; it is cut
just in three-quarter length. 1t is seen
in Scotch plaid, and in that smart ma
terial it is the supreme duchic' in
dark colors. Tartan dresses are once
again to the front and are very prac-
teal. Quite lately I saw a delightful
costume. The green and yellow tar
tan skirt was pleated and short
enough to reveal the while foot clad
in yellow boots and leggings. The
coat Of black velvet was a reminis-
cence of the highlanders with a slit
of little straps cut away and embroid-
cred in black silk braid. The coat
was straight without gussets Of any
kind and just reached the hip line, bill

FALSE REPRESENTATION.

The present management OF the
Opera House OF this city have de-
lherately branded themselves as liars
for the sake of the liquor trafno. When
the Anti-License Committee on Speak
ers made efforts to engage the opera
House Auditorium for public meetings
on Sunday afternoons in order that
prominent speakers from distance
might be heard on the license aues-
tion we were informed that the Opera
House was already rented 70 travel
ing companies for Sunday afternoon
reheersais.

explain more IN detail the position Of

10 TIE POINT.

The real cause Of the alarm on the
part OF the saloon defenders is the Inn
prisonment feature OF the law. IL Is
not left to the discretion Of the judge
to permit the offender to go free by
the payment OF a fine, but IL is manda-
tory upon him to imprison every Offend
er against the law. That is the cause
Of so much fear and alarm on the
part OF the liquor trade and is one
reason why so many saloon-keepers
desire to get out Of the accursed busl-
ness.

Later. when one Of our committee
asked the local manager IL it would
not be possible TO secure the Opera
House for at least one or two meet
ings before November 5th, he was in
formed by the Local Manager that the
House would be occupied by travelling
stock companies for rehearsals on
Sundays for az least six weeks. and that
IL could not be rented for public meet
ings during that period. We doubted
the truth of that statement and WON
dered at the time whether or not the
management was not in league with
the saloon men. II the lessees of the
Opera House or their Manager had
manfully and truthfully stated that
the liquor men had already leased
the house for Sunday afternoons, no
exceptions could have been taken by
any one to such action on their part,
but TO deliberately lie to the commit
tee and misrepresent and distort the
facts, shows that the Opera House
management are willing to stoop to a
very low level in support of the
whislSey trade.
Many Of our people have noticed
that not one Sunday afternoon late
~ has the Opera House Auditorium
been in use for rehearsal purposes, and
we hade intimations that the house had
been secured by the liquor men, and
the announcement in the papers today
OF the mass meeting 10 be held there
tomorrow is additional evidence that
false representations were made to our
committee at the time application was
made by them.
