Oriqin of "Hello, Bill"

Why do the Elks yell Hello, Bill?"
It's this way: Back in 1894, when
there was schsm in the organization,
The two factions met in Atlantic City
for Il peace parley. At the time VIII
liam G.. Myers Of this city, Philadel-
phia's only past grand exalted ruler,
was the grand esteemed leading knight
and one of the most popular men in
the order To get his advice and greet
him hundreds of Elks congregated at
the Atlantic City station to meet Mr.
Myers. All the members were at high
tension. When Bill Myers stepped off
the car Delegate Stack of St Paul, a
big six footer, shouted, Hello, Bill"
and the crowd took up the salutation
with hearty laugh, and from that day
to this Hello, Bill" is so universally
used among Elks that it has virtually
become official. To the good natured
feeling which had its outward express
sion in Stacks greeting to Bill Myers
is ascribed the Observation-Disclosures

Not the Right Sort ofLaw.

Judge Boyd, in a newspaper inter
view, attributed much of such troubles
as result in murderous disorder to the
Glow dives" which are licensed. whose
establishment is promoted, and whose
interests are protected by law.
He did not employ these terms, but a
law which makes the location of a liquor
saloon dependent upon mans success
i'll getting his neighbors as Reighb0rs to
endorse his application for license, is
blameable for all of the business that is
overdone.
With high license and some test which
does not challenge the quoiitg of good
neighborship-wh which does not subject
good people to the alternative of endors-
ing what they believe is wrong any
where, and specially injurious when
located at their own doors, or assuming
what seems to the solicitors an unneigh-
borly feeling with high license. in
short, and disinterested determination
higher up, the evils of the business could
be materially lessened.
a is opposed to the saloon business,
especially within signt or hearing of his
home His neighbor, b, however, comes
with a please add your written request
to mine for license to sell liquors, and
l will be ever so much obliged" and
so on.
Too often the poor man, thus placed
between the devil and what seems to
him 1.-The deep sea-" yields to the great
er evil, and the protection which the law
should not have permitted him to throw
away is taken and enjoyed by the inter
Looping business.
Those well-meaning influences there
fore, which look to high license amend
ments as mitigation of the free trade
liquor evil should not forget the para
mount interests of the innocent people
who, for moral and property reasons, do
not want neighborship with saloons.
These should not be By lar subjected to
Eyes" or mo" alternative. If they
must submit, let it be under the shadow
of some Imperialism.

Murder for Murder.

Cumberland was much wrought up
last Sunday over murder by mob of
William Burns, a negro. The latter,
who mortally hurt August Baker city
patrolman, two days before, was taken
from Jail Saturday night shortly after
midnight and shot to death. The Jail
was broken open by party numbering
less than % persons, who intimidated
Deputy Sheriff Noah Hendley, who was
in charge of the prison. The mob used a
telegraph pole to batter down the Jail
door. The cell was then battered in.
Burns fought and cursed his lynchers
until he was knocked down. He would
have been hanged, but rope could not
be found.
Much Indignation has been expressed,
but nobody present seems to know any
one else who was present.
Even the fidelity and courage of the
police have been impeached, and so for
several days the tide of frothy resent
ment rolled aimlessly high.

High License.

The JOURNAL was in Cumberland
Tuesday long enough to hear that a con-
siderable high-license agitation has been
provoked by the recent murders down
there.
A lcense-fee of 81, 900 year would be
more than many incumbents of the
liquor business could stand. Hence,
many now selling liquor would have to
quit, and with their retirement would
go very many of the abuses which now
atflict the traffic.
In line with this contention the Balti-
more 1merjc0n quotes John Heating, of
the James Clark Distilling Company,
Cumberland, as saying
In my opinion, there would not be half so
much agitation of this subject if there was
a high license system in every town where
liquor is sold to the end that the dives and
low resorts would be wiped out altogether
High license and strict regulation will do
more good i'll the long run, and is better
solution of the question than any plan that
has yet been devised.

The trouble between the Union Min

The people are congratulated by the
passage of an Ordinance which prohibits
hogs in town.
That the prohibition will add to de-

conditions goes without saying
The credit tor this piece of good for

Mayor, the leading spirit in a reform so
good.
He was fortunate, too, in having six
Councilmen to vote with him "unani-
mously."
Much praise for all.

Good News.

Town treasurer Dillon informs the
JOURNAL that the last of the towns
floating debt has been paid, making a
total of $1,000 expended in this direction
since May list.
He says also that "it Is the hope and
wish of the present Council to start a
sinking fund to take up the 500, 900 of
bonded Indebtedness on water account
as early as possible"
The condition of the water system,
too, is the topic of much satisfactory dis
cussion. The old reservoir, after get
ting some sensible treatment at small
cost is behaving beautifully, and the
Water committee atfirms that with much
less than $1,000 more put on, it will beat
the new one for capacity to a stand still.
And the new one was to cost some
fancy sum between $4,000 and $50, 900.

DISCUSS PEAR BLIGHT.
Horticultural Society Also Considers
Exhibit mt Irrigation Congress.

Pear Blight" was the principal topic
discussed at the meeting OF the Salt
Lake County Horticultural society
Saturday afternoon. Several OF the
members who had made thorough
studies of the disease, gave interesting
talks along the line of prevention and
cure.
The matter of Utah's fruit exhibit
at the Irrigation Congress in Sacra-
mento. Cal, was discussed informally,
principally in regard to the extent
of the exhibit. These discussions dis
closed some opposition to the policy
already undertaken of sparing no ex-
pense to make the exhibit the best pos
sible. The argument against the great
expenditure was based upon the pre-
sumption that little good could come
from such an advertisement In the
heart of great fruit state, and those
making the objections We're in favor
of making a greater display at the
