''OPEN SUNDAY"
FIGHT GOES ON
ASSembIyman KIenartIntrOduCeS
Bill Radically Amending the
Bishops Law Cannot Pass

TRENTON, Mar. IA Failing in
their effort to obtain the enactment
of an open Sunday bill in place of
the Bishops act, which has put the
liquor business of the state under
stringent rules, the democrats have
begun anew an attempt to amend
from the latter measure some of its
more drastic provisions.
Assemblyman Klenert, of Passaic,
democratic leader in the house, yes
terday afternoon introduced bill
clipping the Bishops act of much of
its power. Mr.. Klenert's bill makes
these radical amendments to the
Bishops act; Reduces the license fee
in municipalities from $500 to $500,
makes applicable to first class coun-
ties only (Hudson and Essex the
provision requiring that applicants
for liquor licenses shall have been
residents of the municipality for one
year, eliminates the provision for
bidding the issuing of licenses for
one year to persons who have violat-
ed any of the excise regulations and
makes the removal of screens on Sun
day and at other prohibited hours,
discretionary with the boards of ex-
else.
The Klenert bill has already been
characterized as the ''low license bill
and as such it will be bitterly opposed
by the church and temperance peo-
nc Tho tapnoronoa advnnotac are
also opposed to the other amendatory
features of the bill, asserting that
they make the Bishops act practic-
ally ineffective SO far as liquor selling
abuses are concerned and make pos
sible a return to the deplorable con-
ditions existing under the old Werts
act when Sunday selling was winked
at and other abuses existed. There
is special objection to the proposed
plan of granting licenses to persons
not residents of the municipality for
one year, it being asserted that this
will tend to increase the number OF
foreign born saloonkeepers and put
the liquor business in the hands of an
undesirable class. 1t is also held that
violations will be more frequent il
there is eliminated the provision pro-
hibiting the relicensing of violators
for one year. The greatest opposi-
ton, perhaps, will be raised against
the scheme of allowing excise boards
discretionary powers as to the remov-
al of screens during closed hours
1t is declared that in all the large cit
les the excise authorities will permit
the screens to remain and this will
| insure a return to the former reign
of selling behind lowered curtains
The church and temperance people
were especially insistent last winter
for the removal of the screens at sucl
times as selling is prohibited
The interdenominational confer
ence which obtained the passage OF
the Bishops act will Immediately be
gin crusade against the Klenert
amendment, and against any tamper-
ing whatever with the present excise
regulations. The fight promises to be
as spectacular as was the successful
! battle against Blohm's "open Sun
day" measure

ton at Drumkeerin near Sligo. II had
been announced that Mr.. Dolan. NJ p

while the meeting was proceeding. but
made no attempt to reach the PLATFORM
Replying to a resolution of confidence IN
the Irish parliamentary party, Mr.. Reo-
nond said that at previous meetings he
had dwelt upon the inefiiciency or the
government. and he wished now to deal.
with the question of the cost OF that
government.
It was an indisputable fact that the gov
ernment of the country was modeled on
lines of extravaganza unknown in any
similarly situated country in the world
If they had government or thelr own
they could run the country on one-nah
the present expenditure. 1t was caicu-
lated that there were now in Ireland run
ming the government 100000 officials re-
ceiving three millions OF money per year
in the shape of pay, pensions ana gratul-
ties. BY comparison with England and
Scotland this extravaganza was mon
strous The one item alone in which
Scottish government was more expensive
than Irish government was the depart
ment of education.
1t was absolutely true to say that, while
Ireland was probably the poorest country
In Europe, it was by far the most ex-
travagantly governed. England had MAIN
tanned this system Of government in order
that she might attempt to subdue the ma
tional spirit of Ireland by a wholesale
system of bribery, carried out. not with
her own money but with the money OF
the people she was endeavoring to bride.
Could any more powerful argument be
adduced in favor of home rule? If Ire
land were Self-governed she could easily
be governed as cheaply as Belgium or any
of the smaller nations of Europe, and II
the present revenue were still kept up
her government would have millions of
money at it's disposal for the development
of the country. the fostering of her in
dustries, for education and for promoting
her general happiness and prosperity.
They were at the beginning of a great
home rule campaign. They were putting
on foot great propaganda, not only in
| Ireland, but in Great Britain. They had
| arrived at a position In the home rule
movement when what was chiefly wanted,
| in Great Britain at any rate, was knowl-
edge and information about the Irish

The negro problem, too, entered into
the battle, for Delaware, like her southern

their cause as a vital factor in the race

said, and as it was the white mans duty

congregation committees sprang up to
agitate the anti-license cause.
AS the time drew nearer for the election
the fight waxed hotter. for the liquor In
organized all over the state. and backed
by generous funds they set forth to save
their business. They appealed to the more
of the Delawareans, and
contended that to abolish the saloon was
to curtail the personal liberty guaranteed
to every man in free country. Lltera-
ture defending the saloon made its ap-
pearance, and attention of voters was
drawn to the fact that under prohibition
rule Delaware would lose something ike
$4,000 year in liquor license fees, ana
that thousands of persons would lose both
business and employment.
Campaign Cameras.
The temperance folks came back with
another striking argument for their cause,
in which they employed the camera.
Armed with picture-taking outfits, some of
the more jealous advocates went forth in
search of horrible examples" types of
men whose lives had been wrecked by

Their busy cameras caught inebriates

other views OF the topers. waiting for
patrol wagons and surrounded by crowds
of curious school children. These pictures
were afterward printed and posted at
various points throughout the state. They
were transferred to lantern slides. too

who attended mass meetings in the inter
