TO TEST MISSISSIPPI
PROHIBITION LAWS
vicksburg Dealer Win Continue Busines. After
New Law Becomes Operative. VIII Pur-
chase License for Year and Attempt TO
Continue to Do Wholesale Business.

An interesting test case OF the State
law against tbs sale of liquors, as passed
by the legislature last winter, is to be
made in Vicksburg, according to the
present plan, as soon as the law goes
into effect on January /.
One dealer whose license will expire
about the first OF December will renew
his license for wholesale business, which
costs much less than retail license,
and will attempt to continue business
after the first of January. According
to the plan he will be arrested, placed
in jail and released under habeas cor
pus proceedings, when an interesting
phase of the law will go before the sn-
preme court for decision.
Section Z of the now law says, "On
and after the date when this act goes
into effect all licenses and privileges to
sell intoxicating liquors issued by the
State of Mississippi or any municipality
or levee board thereof shall cease and be
void. And that all such license here
after issued shall not be issued or valid
for period beyond the 3lst day OF De-
cember, A. D. 1908.
In response to an inquiry from Warren
county some time ago Attorney General
Fletcher issued an opinion to the effect
that those dealers who held license
which expired during the year would
have to obtain or pay for license for an
entire year from the date of the expira-
ton of the old license, although the new
law will not permit the sale of liquor
under such license after December 31st.
Since that time licenses have bean is
sued for the entire year.
The dealer in question will hold that,
inasmuch as his license is granted under
State law for an entire year, it amounts
to contract between himself and the
State, which the State has not the right
to revoke.
During the legislative session there
was a good deal of discussion on this

packed the Stae House long before the
Senate met. Women occupied almost
every available foot of space in the SEN

crowd broke forth in widest excitement
and applause during the debate. 1t was
an intensely hot day and many were al
most overcome with the mingled heat
and excitement.

very point. Many of the members held
that during the year those dealers who
happened to have begun business late
in the year ought to have the privilege
of renewing their license for the unex-
pired portion of the year on pro rata
basis, placing them on an equal busl-
ness earlier in the year, but the terms OF
compromise reached between the pro-
hibition and local option members seems
to have left those who were unfortun ate
enough to have commenced business
late with no alternative but to pay for
full years license, notwithstan ding
they are not to be permitted to use it all.

JULY. Sea Coast Echo, by c. I'll. Reth:

screams of JOY, contemptuous of hurt,
and start the battle when he burns the
tail off of his shirt.
The youthful cannoneers will charge
his powder by the pound, and while he
does it many kids will boldly crowd
around. He'll light the fuse, and they
viii skip; but when they fail TO get the
proper thrill they'll go to see il it is
lighted yet. A loud ker-bang Ga scurvy
thing a cannon sometimes doesi, and
the angels looking down will sigh, "By
hoky poke, it was!"
When England and her tyrant king
Got too almighty skittish,
The angry patriots turned out
And blew up all the British;
And when the Fourth comes round.again.
With no one to forbid it,
We all blow one another up,
To show them how we did it.
On the 22nd the sun will enter the 70
diacal sign OF Leo the Lion. This will
make Mr.. Roosevelt roar, and molly :
coddles, nature takers, rich malefaetors
reactionaries and liars will take to their
holes. Sea lions will terrify the young
navy recruit, and labor will knock off
every twenty minutes and rush the
growler.
Boys born under Leo make good har-
vest hands and want So a day. They
have keen sense of smell and start for
the house before the meals are half
cooked. They roar upon very slight
provocation, never pay their bill until
the gas is shut off, and generally get
the lions share Of an estate ifappointed
administrator.
The music of the binder will
Be he heard across the mere,
And the water boy will hunt the shade
And sweetly pound his ear.
The States that voted dry will pant,
And the boozers will defy
The foe to take another vote
In August or July.
The wife and children will resort
where they can swim and sail, and
they'll write for money every time the
boat takes out the mail. They'll keep
poor papa, shaving man, a-digging in
his jeans, and, while they're eating
pompano, he'll make out on sardines
They'll also live on mountain trout, and
muskelongs and croaker, and pa will
try to pay for it with what he wins at
poker. He'll cheat like Bret Harte's
Chinaman, and when he shall beseech
forgiveness down upon his knees, and
heaven seems out of reach, his plea shall
be, "Forgive me, Lord, my folks are at
the beach,"
And Helie dear will honeymoon
With Anna his to hold,
And he will sigh, "Ma chere, you
Are worth your weight in gold"
Whereat she'll say, while kissing him
Beneath her broad -brimmed hat,
"But, dear, don't weigh what did
When Boni told me that"
And then hot August will return, and
John D. get in line and pay his twelfth
installment on that thirty million fine.

little over seyenty-one years OF age.
Grover Cleveland was of staunch old
English ancestry. His father, Richard
Falley Cleveland, was clergyman. His
mother was Anna Neal. 1t is recorded
that early in life, the man who was af-
terward to serve for eight years as the
ruler of his country, taught school.
Later he went to Buffalo and began the
study of law and in 1859 or when twenty
two years of age YVES admitted to the bar.
He was assistant district attorney Of
Erie county from 1863 to 1866, and was
defeated for district attorney in 1865.
From 1871 to 1874 he was the sheriff Of
Erie county and first came into general
prominence when in 1881 he was elected
mayor of Buffalo.
He became the Democratic governor
of New York in 1882. serving for two
years and was elected president OF the
United States in 1884. defeating James
G.. Blaine, Republican. In 1888 he was
again nominated by his party and was
defeated by Benjamin Harrison. He re-
turned to the practice of law and in 1892
was again put forward as candidate
against Harrison, who was a candidate
for reelection. Cleveland was elected
by a majority of 132 electoral votes.
Probably the two most notable acts OF
his career as statesman were the con-
vening of an extra session of Congress
in 1893 which repealed the purchasing
clause of the so-called Sherman silver
bill, and his handling of the Venzuelan
muddle and enforcement of the Monroe
doctrine.
Grover Cleveland was married in 1886
to Miss Francis Folsom of Buffalo, New
York. There were born to the couple
one son and three daughters. For some
years the ex-president has made his
home OF Princeton, N. j. He was the
only Democratic president elected since
the Civil War. He was man OF con-
servative mould who considered care
fully before acting, but when his course
was laid acted none the less forcibly
He had many staunch friends and ad-
mirers among men in public life and
| and though the country repudiated his
policies at the close of his first term by
refusing to return him to the presiden-
tiol chair, their replacing him there
after lapse Of four years showed the
confidence the people had in his ability.
Three successive times he came before
the people for the greatest honor they
could bestow and twice was chosen oYel
his opponent.

While President, Mr.. Cleveland had
his mistakes, too, but these did not

1t was July the seventh,
And Denver was gay
With flags and with bunting,
A~5 ~. oo1 bacrou

With flags and with bunting,
And hip and hooray.
And the man in the chair
Mopped the place where his nair
Was wont to grow;
And he said, "Just to show
The humor we're in,
am going to ask
For bon mot from Bryan
Of Lincoln, Nebraska ,"
There was wit in his smile
AS the Peerless One bowed
And stilled the applause
OF the good crowd
With a wave of his hand;
And he said in his bland,
Oratorical way,
"We are gathered today
On the bank of the Platte
Where its clear waters lap
The feet of the hills,
AS you'll find on the map"
His smile was as soft
AS the breeze in the oak,
And the multitude wondered,
Unguessing the joke,
Till he said, "Seeing that
We are right on the Platte,
1t ought to be true
That the country will view
Our party, my friends,
To be just and exact,
AS the only one having
A Platte-form in fact"
July was named for Julius Caesar by
Mark Antony. Mark was Caesars pro-
ege. His career was very much like
hat of Mr.. Taft. Caesar liked him, and
whenever he came around the great die
;ator would slap him on the back with
some such exclamation as "Mark, / will
make you a tribune!" He kept his
word, too, and always delivered the
goods to Mark at the Roman conven
ions. Mark made the funeral oration
Tor Caesar, and he stirred up the Roman
populace ur dl it wrecked the base ball
park looking for Brutus and the rest OF
he Malta. He was also the originator
IF the affinity idea. His affinity was
Cleopatra, and every time he returned
rom Egypt, his wife and his mother
n-law met him at the dock with set Of
golf clubs. He eventually became the
ritual ruler of Egypt, instituted local
'ption and other reforms, barged with
he queen upon the moonlit Nile, and
killed himself while he was happy,
moving it couldn't last.
The bill sent in by Teddy's side
For services to date,
Has been received and duly filed
Till we can liquidate;
About the third the household bills
Will all come down the line,
But the Democratic party will
Not render on its White House Bill
Until July the nine.
July the Fourth will dawn again, di-
rerting circumstance, and the bubbling
boy will light his punk before he finds
his pants. He'll roll down stairs with

YOUNG SCHM|CK
Enters Plea of Guilty and Draws Five

Hobby Was Flowers.

Cleveland, Nov. 9.-W. Harry
Schmick, cashier of the First National
Bank of Leetonia, O., which failed,
pleaded guilty In federal court Mon
day to the first 66 counts in an in
dictment charging him with falsify-
ing the banks accounts and misap-
propriating funds.
His action freed his aged father,
C. N. Schmick, president of the bank,
indicted upon similar charges. The
father was not in court. Young
Schmick's wife was with him.
81 take all the blame" said the SON,
''and accept the whole punishment"
Judge r. w. Tayler sentenced him
to five years in the federal prison at
Leavenworth, Kas. He will be taken
away at once.
The court nolled all the remain
ing counts against the son and the
charges against the father, upon the
recommendation of District Attorney
Day.
"The son had complete charge of
the affairs of the bank" Day said.
"The father had no part in its mis-
management"
Receiver Frank Michinard said
Monday the bank has paid the deposl-
tors 25 per cent, and he is now pre-
pairing to make a second payment of
equal amount.
Living beyond his means worked

Michinard

campaign on state issues alone. He
paid no more attention to the Anti
Saloon league than II II had not been
In existence. He paid no attention to
any other league. He simply pre-
sented the issues The people flock
ed to his support. The temperance
question that was being put forward
by the Anti-Saloon league was not
taken seriously by the people. They
were settling that for themselves.

ed as a boomerang and wrought havoc.
State issues decided the battle.
If this is not fact. the Repub-
lican friends of Governor Harris ar
que, why was Green beaten? There
was no temperance In his fight. Why
have other candidates on the Repub-
lican state ticket been brought SO
low in the voting that their election
is in doubt. The temperance question
did not enter into their contests.
This logic has struck the Republi-
cans forcibly. The more they think
about it the madder they get. They
allowed themselves to be made into
a tail for the Anti-Saloon league kite
and got caught on the first telegraph
wire they came to.
Then they figure up that the league
issued a circular asking the people
to vote for the Prohibition candidates
for the legislature in Franklin coun-
ty. Out of about $4,000 votes cast
the Anti-Saloon league was able to
take 600 over to the Prohibition col
umn. This evidence of It's want of
following outside of It's field of legit-
innate endeavor Is one of the most
striking features of the campaign and
serves to aid In eliminating the
league as a political factor.
So the Anti~Saloon league leaders
are now unpopular in the house of
their late allies. There is no sign of
saloon when they enter the gov
ernor's Office. Their style of cam
paign has been repudiated, their
standing as a political asset razed and
their advice for future procedure un-
sought.
Politically, 1t looks as if the Anti
Saloon league has been abandoned as
a derelict.
