ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., Aug. 30
4 real blue Sunday came to Atlantic
City today. Many persons familiar
with the history of this far-famed re,
sort have been inclined to doubt the
possibility of such a thing. but today
every one of the 22O saloons and hotel
bars we're closed alike to bona fde
guests and to strangers just arrived
within the gates. 1t is stated tina.
this was the fourth time in the fifty.
four years of its existence that a
drinkless day had been experienced in
Atlantic City. bulletin posted at
police headquarters this afternoon
stated:
Saloons all closed. No troops in
town"
Another bulletin officially signed by
the Chief of Police consisted of card
on which was printed:

day it Is Fort holds you"

ganization, and closed their places of
business as tightly as they knew how
A visit during the afternoon rush
on the board walk to one of the most
widely known cafes facing the famous
seaside thoroughfare, disclosed the
fact that not a single patron was in
the place. The proprietors declared
that the loss of the drink privilege
had carried with it nearly equal loss
in the sale of food stuffs.
There was a decided decrease in
the size of the visiting throng tody,
though many persons came from Phil
adelphia and New York out Of sheer
curiosity to see what Atlantic City,
the play ground OF the cities, looked
like on a dry Sunday.
One of the local political leaders,
spokesman for the affected liquor in
terests, declared that the loss of to. |
days closing would amount approx
imately to $15O,000. He declared that
the saloons would close every Sunday /
hereafter until some warrant of law
will permit their remaining open.
I'VE will appeal to the Legislature
when it meets in January, and have
hopes Of securing some sort Of relief"
he said. I'VE will work for the pas
sage of local option law, which will
put the matter squarely up to the peo-
pie of the city and county"
The authorities of the city were
much pleased with the thorough man
ner in which the law was today com
piled with. Chief of Police Woodruff
stated that he had expected there
would be a number of arrests for
excise violations, but up to late hour
tonight there had been none.

ABOUT MORAL CONDITIONS.

On another page Will be found an
article from the pen of Policeman
Mathis, which, if as stated, and Mr..
Mathis evidently knows whereof he
speaks. shows up a most deplorable
condition of affairs among some of
the young people of this city. North
Yakima is probably no worse than
many other cities of its size, but that
such conditions as he tells about ex-
ist will come as a surprise to many
parents. 1t ought to awaken many
from their lethargy and he instru-
mental in their taking their bows
and girls in hand before it is ever
lastingly too late. Mr.. Mathis places
much of the responsibility on the par
ents and there is little doubt but that
he does so deservedly.

WHAT DOES VOTE MEAN?

Despite the fact that a. j. Splawn,
the leading democrat of Yakima
county. was in the race for the NOM
nation for governor, the democrats
only succeeded in polling As votes
in North Yakima on Tuesday. while
the republican party polled exactly
one thousand more.
The disparity in the votes of the
two parties caused considerable COM
ment at the finish of the primaries,
and many are wondering what it
means.
Did democrats take such an inter-
est in the republican contests that
they became republicans for the pri-
maries? Or did they neglect to vote
when they had candidate for the
high office of governor
Did the democrats attempt to take
a -oice in republican affairs because
they believe the primary is practical
ly an election? Or did they try to
name the weaker candidates so as
to knife them at the polls?
These are only few of the ques-
lions that are asked as result OF the
contest. and the answer can only be
guessed from the primary returns.

AGRICuLTuRE N SCHOOLS

The school board of North Yakima
has planned new course of study
for advanced pupils. 1t comprises a
class in practical and analytical ag-
riculture 1t is proposed to give at
Jention to physics. botany and chem
istry in their relations to agricult-
are. aud TO introduce the art of soil
and water analysis, Those subjects
will be added TO the regular high
school course. and be optional With
the students. 1t is also planned to
have series of lectures delivered
by practical dairymen, horticulture
lists and general farmers, residents
of the Yakima valley
North Yakima occupies promi-
nent position in the agricultural
world of central Washington. 1t has
so many varying conditions of soil
and its productions that class in
agriculture is necessary for the in
struction OF school pupils. Irriga-
ton is science in the Yakima
country. Il enables farmers to pro-
duce wonderful crops of fruitsl
grasses and plants peculiar to irri-
gated districts. When water is han
died properly 1t brings great finan-
cial results When improperly di-
rected, irrigation reduces the annual
output of many acres. 1t is a SUBJ
ject which must be handled in
practical manner.
The public school is the proper
place for educating children in the
art Of practical agriculture. 1t is not
necessary that every student be
taught Just how to hold pillow ham
die or sharpen a hoe. but every one
having a home in an agricultural
district should know something
about the theory and practice of till
ing the soil for profit The subject
of school gardening, with its fnan-
cial features. is one of the topics
every pupil should understand. That
is part OF the educational work re-
quired III all country districts. Wher
ever it is neglected the pupils grow
mp with a desire to leave the farm

Object lessons go far in making
lasting Impressions on pupils of the
public schools. In fact. few teachers
consider the rooms equipped for sat

aphernalia for illustrating topics I'M

pie propose to have well-known men

a success of the business, and the

GETTING THE RETURNS.

Because of the immense republican
ticket that was voted over Yakima
county on Tuesday. only incomplete
returns can be given from the coun-
tv. The result must remain in doubt
for several days But the incomplete
returns show to a considerable eX-
tent what is the trend of the voting.
