Many Reasons

There are many reasons" continued
the health officer, why crematory
should be placed in service here. The
first and foremost, from my view
point is that it would materially de-
crease the chances of any spread of
an infection or contagious disease.
This in itself is a matter of grave
import, and one which should cause
every effort being made to purchase a
crematory and thus diminish the dam
ger of diseases being spread.

Germ Vehicles

ct is generally known that old
clothing, rags and refuse that COM
pose the garbage picked UP each day
on the streets of Pensacola are the
carriers OF disease. To dump this gar
bage in any inhabited section of the
city is a menace to the public health.
1t not only creates unhealthy condi-
lions, but makes a very unpleasant
Odor, and even though it be burned it
is a known fact that hundreds of old

One Way of Handling Licenses.

The ancient and conservative city
of London is just now trying a very
interesting experiment in the reduc-
ton of the vast number of liquor
shops in it's territory. Under the
existing law a license to sell liquor
in the great metropolis is regarded
as a vested right of which the holder
cannot be deprived without comPen-
sation. unless he has violated some
penal statute.
Many of the London licenses are
Of very ancient date, and they have
given value to the premises. The
new statute permits the authorities
to reduce the number of inns where
they are no longer necessary, but
whenever a license is eXtinguished
the Hcensee, the brewers, and the
owner of the premises are awarded
a certain amount by way of dam
ages. The scheme is working salts
factorily. and the number of licenses
is being cut down very appreciably,
although it costs money TO carry
out the plan.
Here in America there is nothing
sacred in the possession of liquor
license, for. although it is property
of a certain kind, it can be and often
is wiped out by licensing board for
even slight violations of the terms
on which it IS granted. Ours is per-
haps the better method, for licen-
sees can be more strictly held to
their best behavior. and offensive
places can be abolished without ex-
pense to the State. There is no
remedy for man who does not
properly appreciate the duties to
the community he undertakes when
he agrees to sell liquor under proper
restrictions, and it is altogether
best that il should be so.
The Washington times., 1907-04-20

status of their wares by such lies
should be promptly exposed.
For it must be understood at the
outset of our new pure food regime
that the United States Government
guarantees nothing. Simply because
the manufacturers are claiming to
live up to the regulations of a
United States law does not mean
that the Government that passed the
law indorses their products. The
serial number that is assigned to
manufacturers and dealers was de-
signed to place the responsibility
for the product on the men that
made it, not upon a United States
department that furnishes the num-
Der.
In general, it may be assumed by
the public that firms who would
make these indefensible statements
about government guarantees would
attempt to delude the public in
other ways as well. Such methods
are not to be tolerated in these
times Of greater protection to the
consumer.

A Novel By Mr.. Howells.

A new novel by William Dean HOweIls
IS 10 be published by the Harpers this
week. II is entitled Through the Eye
OF the Needle
The publishers announce that the
novel tells the whimsical story Of how
certain kino of what might be called
socialism really works A traveller
from AItrur:a falls in love with ard
rnarries q charming American woman,
takes her To- Altruria, where she has
an interesting time learning how ID

and where one can get things only by
working three hours q day-a country
where you cant tell cook from a lord,
OF a farmer from a poet. 1t is a de
lightful story Of love among peculiar
conditions.
The significance Of the title lies in
the fact that the heroine finds herself
confronted by the dilemma Of relln-
gushing her great fortune, which
would be Of no use in AItruria, or re
Iinquishing happiness as represented by
the man she loves ana the ideal land
TO which he would take her.

the construction of the new houses

much easier to control the Mongoi

the inability of the old officials to
enforce the law in Chinatown.
And now even graft is going. Led
by Francis J. Heney, the people of
San Francisco have not only in
dicted a boss and a mayor they be-
lieve to be corrupt, but have insti-
tuted proceedings to nullify fran
chises granted without warrant in
the public good; have followed in
the footsteps of Galveston in re-
viving dead financial credit, and
have awakened, as the staider cliff
dwellers of the East have not, to
the need for individual, personal,
citizen watchfulness. This is the
greatest benefaction hidden in the
dreadful calamity which year ago
threatened to leave San Francisco

Strictly Japanese.

In the battIeship AHi, which was
launched at Kure the other day, the
Japanese have the most tremendous
battleship in the world, outstripping
the British Dreadnought by a good
margin. With her displacement of
$500 tons, length of 492 feet, and a
beam of 831a, she is probably the
superior of even the dreams of John
Sharp Williams for his "Skeered o.
Nothin"
But mere size is not her chief dis
tinction. for she was designed and
constructed exclusively by Japanese.
Was there ever a more suggestive
emblem of a nations rise in military
and industrial power than this? 1t
is almost incredible that only a few
years ago there was not a modern
shipyard in the whole of the en-
pire Now its products can defy the
world.
