fine himself TO Mr. Mcclellan. but also honors the
as the policeman eXpressively put IT,
His idea seems to be that the country and the
city Of New York especially are going 10 the dogs,
and he wants discuss the situation with the
Mayor and show him how things could be bettered.
Usually he Is content with the sympathetic Of
the policeman but sometimes he is not. On those
occasions he gets up on a chair and denounces the
Mayor, the President, the Board of Aldermen and
everybody else he can think Of. Occasionally he
creates such disturbance that he has 20 be es-

4 MYSTERY HERE.

There is one feature about the new system
that seems to be shrouded i'm a good deal OF
mystery. When the scheme was first announced
1t was urged that there was a danger of the
Croton water supply becoming insufficient for
the cItys needs. one of the strongest arcu-
ments used 10 secure public approval for the
high pressure system that by means of II
river water could he used for both fire ana
street huShlng purposes 1t was pointed on;
that this would result in an enormous saving
OF the fresh water supply. Now il seems there
Is not the slightest intention OF using river
water 70 any extent for either purpose and
there Is good deal of doubt whether the new
system will ever he used for street flushing
even with fresh water 1t is true the two
pumping stations have been placed close to the
waterfront, one on the East and the other on
the West Side Of the city. Intake connections
are also being constructed from both rivers. 1t
Is now said that these connections viii only bc
used in cases OF great emergency.
Chief Engineer De Narona was asked bv
Tribune reporter if il the intention 10 use
river water. He said
We are constructing intakes from the rivers.
1t is true, but only in cases Of the greatest
emergency, like the san Francisco conlagra tiou.
will they he used II would be impossible To
put that dirty water on fire without causing
more damage from the kind Of water used
than from the fire itself. There is an impress
CURED for fire purposes. That impression is all
wrong. The amount used is a mere baEatolle
compared with the daily consumption for an
purposes. During the last five years for in
stance the amount of water used for fire pur-
poses in Manhattan averaged only T4UfONO3
gallons Il Year and in Brooklyn - 1oJ IGS gal

Astonishing Results.

St. Louis, Kansas City and the other cities of Missouri have abolished the Sunday saloon traffic, with notable results. In St. Louis the police court figures show a decrease Of 7l per cent in cases of Sunday drunkenness and 55 per cent decrease in the total number of Sunday arrests. Chief of Police, Hayes, of Kansas City. de- clared that the chief results of the first year of Sunday prohibition were a decrease of 80 per cent in arrests for drunkenness and 75 per cent decrease in total numbers of Sunday arrests. In Omaha. Indianapolis. Louisville. Columbus. Pittsburg. Philadelphia. Baltimore. Rochester. Boston and many other cities similar results have been obtained

passage of the bill. The general opir- ion among the retailers is that the pas sage of the bill will have but small effect on smoking in the state. There is nc law to prevent the sale of tobacco. and the general idea is that those who are addicted to the cigarette habit will lay in large stock of papers before the law goes into effect. Another argu- ment Is that the cigarette smoakeTS will take to pipes and cigars. and the results from buisness viewpoint woulc be the same f not better. They con tend that there is but small profit 1T the sale of ciga, ette aud papers, ano no dealers will suffer from the p, ssage of the law.-Ex.

MAY CLOSE THE SALOON

Judge 5. R. Altman of the Circuit Court at Lebanon, Indiana. has hand ed down decision that the legislature has no more legal right to license the sale of intoxicating liquors than it has 10 license gambling. which if upheld by the higher courts it will close every saloon in the State.
 Judge Artman holds that the retail liquor business has no legal standing on the ground that it is not ore of the in- herent common law rights of citzer- ship, since the business is dangerous 10 public health, public morals. and public safety.
 The legislature. Judge Artman de- clared, cannot make lawful for price that which is unlawful. because that contravenes the fundamental principle of government. In other words, the
 
 legislature cannot legalize menace to public health and nor can the state. under the guise of police regulation looking to the public morals, license the saloon business.
 A wealth of opinions from the high CT courts cf many States and of the United States supreme court bearing on these contentious were quoted in the decision. Some of the decisions quoted showed that both federal and state courts had ruled that no form of gambling. such as lotteries. etc., could be legalized, since they are a peril 10 the welfare of society In this con nection Judge Artman pointed out that many of the same courts had helc that the sale of intoxicants was menace to the welfare Of the community, and held therefore that if it was right tc declare gambling unlawful it also was right 10 declare liquor selling unlawful

 The passage of the anti-cigarette bill has been attempted in this state for many years. There is law on the statute books prohibiting the sale Of to- bacco to minors. but if the Mckenzie law is ID better enforced than the pres ent law the work of the legislature has been in vain Previous anti-cigarette bills in the legislature have never gone beyond one house. The Mckenzie bill introduced by the youngest ran in the Senate. was read first on Febuary 2 and was passed by a unanimous vote two weeks later. The measure has been in the house since that time and strenuous attempts have been made or the part of some of the members tc block the bill or invalidate by exemptint counties.

YOUTHFUL ESSAIST. Nine-year-old Boy Writes on Sionewall Jackson.


 The following essay on Stonswall Jackson was written by Earnest Hall, a nine year cid pupil of Lawrenceville public school. It is given to the public through the kindness Of his teacher and our Holly Grove correspondent His teacher states that the paper wa. prepared without assistance. It k. published without the Editors blue pencil being used. so that each reader may properly judge the true merit of Master Halls effort.
 He deserves hearty praise. If the Editor had used the blue pencil. the marks would have been less than may be seen on many manuscripts prepared by adults.

Milk Producers Present Petition
to Governor Guild
A SLAP AT CONTRACTORS
Say They Maintain Absolute Control
of Boston Market Without Compe-
titon--Res .ric:ions Placed Upon
Farmers Declared to Be Too Heavy

Worcester Mass. oct. 16.-The petit
ton of the Worcester county farmers
asking for an Investigation into the
dairy conditions of the state which was
presented to Governor Guild yesterday
was made public last night by the
farmers committee which has had the
matter in charge.
The petition states that about 81 per
cent of the milk used in Boston and the
metropolitan district reaches the city
by railroads and i controlled by five
contractors: it stated also that an in
veStigatiDu will disclose that the terri
tory producing milk for the Boston
market has been so divided by the five
contractors that they maintain absolute
control without competition. and that
I the cars leased from the railroads by
the contractors are the only means af-
fordcd by the railroads for proper
transportation Of the product.
The restrictions placed upon the
farmers are also gone into ut consider
! able extent by the petition. which
claims that should the laws governing
the standard of milk when sold be
properly enforced the farmers would be
constantly liable to fine and impriSon-
mcnt. as it is practically Impossible 70
meet the standard
The petition claims that the percent
Of solids in the mix has nothing to do
with its purity. 1t also asks the gov
ernor to determine whether milk
brought in from other states comes
from sanitary sources and from COWS
subject to tuberculosis tests.
An investigation is asked for into
what restrictions are placed upon the
contractors who. it is claimed. have op
portunitieS TO adulterate the mill
from the farmers with milk of IN infe
rior grade. nndsalleges that by takin.
ont some of the solids required OF the
milk as furnished. and selling it in thu
