JUDGE ARTMAN LECTURED
AGAINST LICENSING

Judge Samuel r. Artman, of Indiana,
who recently came into prominence
through a decision declaring the licensing
Constitution OF the United States, spoke
to about 200 persons In Music hall lost
evening. lie explained his decision, and
why, in his opinion. II was In accordance
with correct Interpretation Of the Con-
stitution on the matter In question
Judge Artman made the point that neil
ther the people themselves nor any OF the
legislative servants chosen by them have
any right TO do anything which shall be
menace 10 society as a whole. The sale
OF liquor, according 10 the speaker. con-
stituted such menace. and therefore it's
legalizing was a thing that no one had
right TO do.
Liquor Dealers" he said claimed an
inherent right to sell liquor. moral right
as It We're Right or wrong Is a question
not decided by any man or by any court
or even constitution. II is something for
the individual conscience to decide and is
governed only by the great moral law
which God Almighty put in our being. a
law which governed the people of the
earth long before there was such q thing
as a government.
Nothing that is morally wrong. then.
can be legally right. A breach of the
moral law must be and Is wrong, from
sequently. how can the sale OF liquor.
which is surely moral wrong, be right
from any viewpoint or be legalized with
any justification. The flag of this Union,
which we all love and revere. cannot be
a protector OF the American people and
OF the American saloon at one and the
same time. II II Is to guard us as
people and stand as symbol of liberty
and protection, then II must also stand
as symbol OF destruction to the saloon"
The Judge was introduced by Mayor

A LONG COAT FOR
RAINY FALL DAYS

You must make a new long coat
for rainy days of the early fall IL you
have not already one. II need not be
absolutely waterproof. for you are not
likely to have to breast many tempests,
but IL must at any rate look pro-
tective.
Nothing looks quite so seedy as the
seasons leftover clothes. drabbled and
clinging with q fall mornings damp
ness. On the other hand there is no
time when crispness. newness and
brightness OF attire count more in
ones favor than on a rainy day when
everyone else looks limp
Let your coat be OF silk or mohair;
up In generous box pattern without
much cutting into the silk. saw one
recently whose price was S2s; the ma
teriai In II would have cost about ST.
A careful woman, exact in her work,
with an ordinarily good pattern, could
have made II just as well.
Have the coat OF pretty color or
OF black and white. Get, in short
the material that will look inconspic-
uous, yet cheerful on n dreary, wet
September morning. When September
and October are over, and the winter
weather is on, cut up this same gar
ment into ruffles for a handsome silk
petticoat, and so wear II all winter
and possibly much longer.
Meantime, you look prosperous and
well-dressed at a time when few others
do.

Danville Tobacco Market,
(Reported by Dibrell Bros. !

Danvllle Va, January 10, 1906
We have had soft weather and full breaks
again this week. The farmers continue to rush
their tobacco to market, and at the present
rate OF selling It there will be lef, very little
this week. Much OF 1t shows the effect OF the
continued wet weather. since the crop was
cured In barn mould, and 1t is difficult to buy
any line of tobacco that Is absolutely free of
1t. However. 1t is generally thought, and some
OF the best manufacturers report. that this will
not effect the usefulness OF tho crop Prices
generally are firm. The buyers are as eager
as ever, and all classes OF them are in the mar
ket In full force. Wrappers and cigarette cut
tiers Of the etter grades show some advance
since tho holidays Wrappers have until now
been relatively cheaper than other grades, es-
necally considering the small proportion OF
them in the crop and the quality and the small
stocks carried over.
On Tuesday one of our warehouses sold 1o6,-
672 pounds for sl5. 0O11 10 being an average OF
sl4.06 per hundred. Considering the quality and
condition this Ia considered remarkably good
sale from the farmers standpoint.
We have heard of several trades In round lots
that have run up into more than thousand
hogsheads each since the holidays. But these
things are usually kept very quiet for obvious
reasons, and the real facts arc hard to got
at. But undoubtedly there is much trading
going on In quiet way, and the independent
manufacturers are taking their share. We look
for heavy receipts again next week.

NEW YORK. January 19.-,Ths stock
market underwent severe pressure from
further liquidation to-day. Prices broke
again and again under the renewed food
of stock which poured upon the market.
There was an evident determination, how
aver. to protect the market. and support
ing orders appeared at each decline to
arrest tho downward tendency and rally
prices. The nature OF this buying was
indicated by Its withdrawal when It had
effected its purpose OF steadying tho
market 1t was not pursued at the ad-
vance, when prices approached last nights
Lowell. Tho market closed with such a
supporting movement In progress and
the tone was consequently strong at n
final rally, although extremely fever1sh
and very active. There was continued
lack OF any immediate development in
the situation to explain the volume and
the urgency OF the selling. It WIS OBJ
Sious that strong organization OF bear
operators was active and alert to take ad-
vantage Of any sign OF weakness, and
their raiding tactics were effective In
d!slodging weakened speculative accounts.
It was generally supposed that liquidation
was In progress OF some important ac-
counts OF long standing and in syndicated
form, which were being thrown over to
relieve an oyerstrained position in the
market, and for the protection of broker
age houses. Individual brokerage houses

kept In constant circulation also OF
less specific character. Many diligent in
ouiries were got on foot as a result OF
these conditions, and clearing houses and
banking authorities gave their sanction

barrassment was discernible. The prin-
cipal selling pressure centred on Read
