Extra Session No. z.

Jefferson City. May 24.-Tbe
desire of Governor Folk to for.
mulate a dramshop issue for
himself during the two.handed
fight he IS now carrying on foT
the Senate and the presidency,
will probably result in another
extra session OF the General AS
sembly.
The dramshop legislation of
the extra session just closed
was satisfactory to temperance
advocates, but not to Governor
Folk. 1t has become evident to
him and to his advisers that the
chief executive did not get
much in the way of glory out
of his dra mshop and ex Use bills
during the extra session. The
prime object in the Governors
operations being to manufacture
political capital, the session
was considered by him and his
friends to be a failure in so far
as it failed to ''soak the brew
ers."
Such temperance legislation
as was enacted, came either
without the Governors aid or
after he had received several
pointed iutimations to keep his
hands off. This was the case
wit the Humphrey dramshop
bill The Governor first urge !
this measure, then used il as a
club to get the excise bill
through, and finally when il
had been signified to him that
the bill would fare better with
out his interference, was passed
in a modified form. The TEN
perance people who we're urg
ing the passage of the act went
home satisfied with the progress
made, declaring that the as
sembly had given them a GOOD
bill. The Governors excis,
bill was considered by the ma
jority of the members OF the as
sembIy as persistent imposi
ton upon good sense and goot
nature and they killed it,
The defeat has ranked in tn
Governors bosom. This is n,
secret, although the chief exec
utive has attempted to put /
cheerful face upon the matter

How very interesting to read the

linquent and bashful man who does

girls in our fight for supremacy over

where Wenatchee girls are imposed
on, such as stated by the marriagable
girl some few days ago. Girls, We all
know good men are scarce; don't let
us make rash selections and above all
keep away from the salt air of Utah,
where our poor sex has been driven
to distraction, and where four queens
make a full house. No. | do not

CONCERNING FREE LUNCHES.

Seattle will probably be Knocked,
more or less good-naturedly, because
of the passage of the ordinance which
prohibits saloons serving free
lunches, a practice nearly everywhere
in this country regarded now as an
essential part of the saloon keepers
not less than the keepers thereof, will
doubtless regret the passing of the
free lunch in this city. Moralists, on
the other hand, will probably be glad
to note the disappearance, and will
bless it as good omen.
The average man is not unlikely to
accept the explanation that the free
lunch has been outlawed because it
gave saloon men the excuse and the
opportunity to protect hobo" GRIM
inals, for while the free lunch may
have meant a great deal to the i'm
boz, it has also meant a great deal
to the drinking man of means; very
often it has helped such as these to
anchor and steady themselves in a
perfect sea of highballs, fizzes and
other plain or fancy mixtures, and
therein lies the real secret, the sine
qua non, if you please, of the free
lunch.
A bit of cheese and a salty cracker.
or nipe OF some other little thirst
provoking something, following the
first round, urges the appetite to de-
mand the second, and so on, which
suggests the reflection that the free
lunch may not be as free as it's
name might indicate. Two, three
drinks or more, instead of one. will,
as rule, pay a handsome profit on
the free lunch investment, and that s
why saloons established them as a
part of the business. The free lunch
pays its own way.
OF course there is the drinkers
view to be reckoned with, the path
illogical view, and it is not lacking in
virtue either. The man who takes a
morsel of food, either before or im-
mediately after drinking. protects his
stomach by neutralizing the bad eff
fects OF poisonous liquids, though the
protection cannot reasonably be re-
garded as of permanent value. The
raw liquid will finally do it's work.
if the man happens to be a heavy
drinker: if he is moderate drinker.
on the other hand, the free lunch will
prove OF very great help to him. But
the free lunch is out of it in Seattle.
hence theories concerning it's uses
and abuses count for little. The
city's experiment should prove profit
able; it will prove interesting in any
event.-P.-I.
