WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1S.
RESPECT FOR THE LAW.

Chief Burkes determination to
clear the city of speak-easies is cred
table. Here's wishing him success.
The saloon keeper has to pay for the
privilege OF doing business. AS long
as this is so he should be given every
protection to which the law entities
HIM Live up to the letter of the law
in every particular is the only safe
way.
There is entirely too little respect
for the law in this country. Men who
have been here but a short time and
seen how certain unlawful acts are
winked at, become bold and do things
they would not think of doing in the
old country.
This leads us to the Bishops law
which provides that all back rooms in
saloons shall be abolished and that
screens shall be moved from win
dows, exposing the bar to the street
during unlawful hours for selling
liquor. Saloon keepers are becom-
ing very careless in this matter. The
door in the window partition may be
open, but in some instances large
pictures are so placed as to serve the
purpose of a screen. Anything that
hides the bar is unlawful
There are reports that the Bishops
law is not all that it should be in this
city. Perhaps Chief Burke will give
this his attention, too.
Law is law and if it is not to be
respected nothing can save the coun-
try. If the law does not suit the peo-
pie. have it changed, but it cannot be
done in regard to the Bishops act
without the hardest kind of fight.
Once changed, however, all should be
made to respect it.
Respect for the law is the greatest
need OF the hour in the United States.
While commissions are being named
to investigate the subject of immi-
grafton big step toward solving the
problem could be taken in teaching
the newly arrived emlgrant that the
laws of this country mean just as
much as do the laws of the old coun-
try. Teach the, remigrant that the
law means just what it says and that
he must conform himself to it, and in
nine cases out of ten he will make a
good citizen.

THE HONEST CURE
FOR RHEUMATISM.

1t is frightful to trifle with the suf-
ferings of the person tortured by
Rheumatism. Yet there are medicines
that simply dull the pain for a mo-
ment. while either running the stom-
ach or creating the morphine, opium,
or cocaine habit for the sufferer The
plasters that are tried also tend to
discourage the patient, and make
MIN or her think that there is no use
in trying anything else.
There is a POSITIVE cure, and an
HONEST one. 1t is simple and easy
TO use. 1t cannot do any harms 1t
doesn't go into the stomach at all.

Life owns no treasure that is wholly

Love, art thou only gone?
The humber boasts of nature, by

The tickle planets and the changing

Behold! their lesser heaven have re-

And dost thou notiappear?

But that fair Truth is robbed of scep-
