of about a month ago, when she first made
her appearance on the river. The boat is
said to be the fastest vessel afloat on the
Potomac or Chesapeake bay. 1t is claimed
that the boat makes a speed Of twenty
eight miles an hour when run with her
auto engine open, and over a measured
course of mile and a quarter off Alex

cushion of air under her that reduces
friction between the bottom of the boat
and the water, making possible the high

NO LEGAL RIGHTS.

The Unconstitutionalty of Saloon Il.

recently MAD" decision that the law
making power of the state has no constitu-
tional right to authorize the licensing of SO
harmful and demoralizing business as the
liquor traffic. which decision brought him
considerable attention. and his address last
night was devoted to legal arguments why
he considered the traffic unconstitutional.
The arguments presented by Judge Art
man in making his case" We're that the
saloons have no constitutional right to eX-
list: no common law right: no moral law
right; no inalienable right; no inherent
right, and not privilege as guaranteed to
the citizens of the state or Of the United
states. He contended that the Trainers Of
the Constitution made no provision in the
Constitution for legaliZing the liquor traffic.
and that the constitution of every state
prohibits the sale of liquor, and when a
license is granted the laws of the state are
suspended. He considers the act of licens-
ing saloons an invasion of the fundamental
laws and the rights Of both the national
and state laws He concluded by saying:
1t is simply case of driving out liberty
and keeping the saloon or driving out the

Since the death of Augustus Saint eau

praise of his work, notably the Adams me-
mortal In Rock Creek cemetery. many per-
sons have gone to see the mysterious statue
Of Grief either to behold it for the first
time or to renew their impressions of it.
Robert E. Howell secretary and treas
urer of Rock Creek cemetery, says that
during the week the number of visitors In
curing the way to the memorial has IN
creased greatly. Before that. he says. there
were intervals of many days when there
were no visitors at all.
So great an impression does the sad and
solitary figure make upon the observer that
almost every one who sees it feels impelled
to revisit 1t, the sentiments which 1t arouses
often defying analysis.
