We alluded briefly in our last issue
to the decision Of Judge Artman OF
the Boone circuit court, Indiana, that
the licensing of the liquor traffic is
unconstitutional The history OF the
case briefly is as follows:
Several months ago Mr.. G. d. Newlin,
Chairman of the Prohibition Committee
of Indiana having entertained the idea
for many years that the issuing OF incense
to sell liquor was just as unconstltutlonai
as it would be to license the stealng OF
horses concluded that he would test the
matter.
keeper in the tenth ward of Indianapolis
applied for license to open a saloon Where
he was then conducting his little grocery.
SCHUYLER Young and VIM. J. IrellZ
through their attorneys, Doan q OrplSon,
filed a remonstrance against the granting
of this license on the ground that sucn
a license would be unconStltutlonaI. On
advice of their attorney, Caleb >. Denny
formerly reform mayor of Indianapolis
ruled the remonstrance and granted ti iS
license as it was expected they Woulu
do An appeal to the circuit court was
at once taken and on a change OF venue
came before Judge Artman.
The decision itself is exhaustive
and goes deeply into the merits OF
the case with a wealth of quotations
from important judicial rulings OF the
mast which touch the question at IS

mans decisions are these:

THE NEED OF KICKERS.

In connection with this matter OF
being Independent in politics men ask,
"What's the use Of being a kicker!
Take things easy. Who cares! What
does it all amount to anyhow? DON'T
he a. kicker and knocker." But l
want you to notice that there has not
a. good thing come in this world Tor
four thousand years but that it was
started in some way by the kickers.
Old Socrates, the best man in Greece,
was a kicker; the ancient prophets
and reformers of the Old Testament
were kickers; Jesus Christ was the
supreme kicker of lis day and kicked
Phariseeism out; the twelve apostles
were kickers who kicked Paganism
out of power in the world, and Martin
Luther, and John Wesley, and Abra-
ham Lincoln were all in their genera
lions the chief kickers. Theodore
Roosevelt is the most magnificent
kicker of today. We say again, there
is no good brought into this world but
by first kicking out that which Is
wrong, and you are called to be kick
ers against every form Of evil. 1t Is
not religion-it is a piece of coward
ice and selfishness to lie down and
let the devil ride rough-shOd over
you and your fellow men.-Rev. ]. c.

POINTER ON VoTE-WINNING.

Never approach an old-party voter
in antagonism. Do not upbraid him.
Do not charge him with being hypo-
critic. Do not accuse him of lack OF
patriotism. If any or all of these
things were otherwise proper, still
they would not be worth while. If a
man is a hypocrite do not waste you
time on him. If he lacks patriotism
go to someone else. 1t does not pay
to quarrel or engage in vituperation
and to say hard things in case of a
man who is either dishonest or hypo-
critical. Give your attention to men
whom you can approach in concilia-
tory spirit. Assume always that the
neighbor or friend with whom you are
talking is honest and sincere, but that
you believe he is mistaken.-Oliver
w. Stewart.

That MOmentOuS Decision.

1. docs the Legislature have power
to license saloons?" is the main question.
g. Public good is the Supreme Law.
3. Common Law is against saloon Ii
cense.
4. License is privilege, not a restric-
s: Liquor selling is not a right of
the saloon business legal standing.
T. Conclusion, overriding demurrer to
remOnStrance, and diSmiSSing application
for license at cost Of the applicant.
sALooNIsTs WILL NOT APPEAL.
The liquor men have announced that
decision that license is unconstitutional.
1t looks as though they saw their doom
The prohibitionists have therefore filed
a suit against Francis Long for conduct
ing a saloon in the city of Lebanon, Ind,
under a license which is declared to be
unconstitutional, and praying the abating
of the saloon as a nuisance 10 this the
state of Indiana is made a party and the
attorney general of Indiana will appear
venue will likely be taken from Judge
Altman, but the opponents of license. are
willing to try the case before any fair,
minded Judge and force it to the court OF
last appeal. Should they win in this suit
and the liquor men refuse to appeal, suit
will be brought before some judge who
is known to be friendly to the liquor in
terests, so that he may rule against the
decision rendered by Judge Artman, so
case to the supreme court. The business
men backing the movement are determln- :
ed to force the case to the Supreme Court
of the United States.

Minnesota Legislative News.

At the close of the first county op-
ton hearing, many friends of the
measure crowded into the Senate
chamber where Senator PetersOn's
two-cent passenger rate bill was the
special order. 1t passed with only six
opposing votes. 1t is rather interest
ing that five of the six were Twin
City members. And let it be remem-
bered that ONE-SIxTH OF THE OP-
POSING VOTE WAS CAST BY w. w.
DUNN, ATTORNEY OF THE HAMM
BREWING COMPANY.
Mr.. Lobeck's bill for the protection of
girls raising the age of consent to eight
cen years and increasing the severity of
punishment has passed the House.
1t is worthy of note that the members
both Of the House and the Senate who
rushed in with bills and resolutions touch
ing the saloon were individuals who had
been very hard pressed by Prohibition
campaign in their own districts.
The bills on the saloon question have
been fourfold the number introduced for
an equal time last session., and most Of
them have been better bills. The work
is by no means done, but the way to DO
it is perfectly clear Better than all the
the United States could carry is to drop
ones petition IN THE BALLOT BOX
for a Prohibitionist, backed by a Prohi-
bition party to make prohibition laws.
The saloon is doomed. There can be no
doubt Of that, but, to quote Abraham
Lincoln. 'Wise counsels may accelerate,
and folly may delay" The experiences
of this year clearly teach that it is wis
dom to treat this question just as one
would treat the tariff, the money or the
expansion question-namely, elect honest
representatives of a political organization
standing for the political principle in
which the voter believes.

The Lion,s Mouth.

The use of the lions mouth as the

It cannot be regarded % accidental.
As q matter Of fact, the custom (like
so many customs-not forgetting the
fountain pen) came from Egypt, which
ad6pted It because the annual inunda-
ton of the Nile takes place when the
sun is in the constellation Leo the
lion. The allusion Is too obvious to
need pointing out The Oldest fixed

Egypt, where the calendar was intro.

century; and the history Of modern

AND THE CAT CAME BACK.
Rose Superior to Little Matters Like
sms, Chloroform and Burial.

John Burroughs, the famous nature
student, is never tired of ridiculing
the new school Of nature writers, the
school that attributes quite human
intelligence to animals and insects.
"Mr. Burroughs dined with me one
night" said a magazine editor OF New
York, land among my guests was a
young nature writer Of the new
school.
"This young man told wonderful
story about the intelligence of oy-
sters. He said he was going to put
the story in his new book. Mr.. Bur
roughs gave dry laugh and said:
sNILet me tell you about cat. This
story Is quite as authentic as the
other one, and 1t should do for your
book nicely
"The student paused impressively.
then said:
IA Springfield couple had Q cat

they put 1t out Of its misery by means
Of ehloroform. They buried 1t In the

GAS AND Irs CENTENARY.


Gas, as q practical illuminant, pass
cd its century mark on January %.
On that day In 1907 there was in Lon
don "a new and singular spectacle"
according to the account Of a visitor,
"the whole range Of Pail Mall, from
st. James to Cockspur street, was
lighted up by means Of lamps fed with
gas instead Of cotton and oil, and cor
tainly in q style Of much superior
brilliancy. This was tho first instance
Of street lighting by coal gas in Lon
don, or In any other city. The merit
Of the enterprise is due to Winsor, Z
German company-promoting expert,
who was especially interested IN the
question Of economic fuel. His pamph'
lets, however, contained SO much OK
travagant fanaticism and quackery
that they retarded rather than fur.
thered his schemes, which met with
an extraordinary amount Of opposi-
ton, even from enlightened people.
Sir Walter Scott wrote that there
was q mailman proposing to light Lon.
don with smoke. Awful consequences
were predicted. The gas would poi
son the air and blow up tho inhabit'
ants; II was explosive, dangerous, Of
fensive and unmanageable; the pipes
conveying It would bs hot and apt Ia
produce CONGREGATIONS. The lamplisht
ers to man opposed tho new mode Of
street lighting, and II II curious to no
tice the great hesitation as to It's pos
sibility expressed in contemporary
scientific and popular literature.
When q chartered company was al
length formed in 1910, the sharehold
ers were pitied % idiots; and David
Pollock, for 30 years its governor, 70
ceived some extraordinary answers In
doggerel rhyme from otherwise sober
and staid individuals whom he had
asked to take shares.

John Browns Safe.

Lovers Of the antique would rejoice
in the possession Of q quaint old iron
safe which was discovered in an out
sf-the-way place in Springfield, Mass.
not long ago. The safe was probably
used by its original owner when he
raised sheep and sold their wool. It
is large enough to hold all the profits
that Brown might have reaped in
his wool business. The discovery has
been made by Col. John L. Rice, Of
Springfield, Mass. Instead Of keeping
his prize, however, Col. Rice has turn
ed the curious old article over to the
Connecticut Valley Historical society.
The safe must have contained many
interesting documents during its So
journ under Browns roof. and Il
would be interesting to get hold Of
some Of them.

An oId.rlme Playful Prisoner.

The centenary has been noted re-
Gently in London Of what the Annual
Register called "a most unparalleled
atrocity." 1t was only the theft Of q
pocket handkerchief from a pocket;
but the circumstances Of the deed ex-
plain the vehemence Of this denunciA-
ton. Four men were on their trial
for assaulting q man in his house at
Ponder's End, putting him In fear anA
stealing from him; and one Of them
relieved the tedium Of the trial, which
lasted eight hours, by picking the
pocket of one of the turkeys as he
stood in the dock. An official had the
presence of mind to order the restora-
ton Of the handkerchief, and the pris.
oner obeyed, with the most careless
indifference" but the court, we read,
were horror-struck. Justice, how
ever. pulled itself together sufficiently
to sentence all four men to death.
