This Life Of Ours.

Children will awaken in the night
and cry for long time without ap-
parent cause. Not even the reassur-
ing caresses of the mother will quiet
them, and they continue to sob aft
er they have fallen asleep again. Is
it because they realize in their
dreams what they are coming to
what a miserable, cherries life they
will lead as men and women and
how soon they will be forgotten aft
er they are dead? We have never
known a man or woman who did not
deserve pity for some reason

JOHN |. WILL GET
4 GREAT RECEPTION
J
Famous Pugilist's Friends
Are Arranging Great
Reception.

Boston. Mass, October 16.-Fifty
years ago today there was born in
Boston a boy who was destined to be-
come the pugilistic champion of the
world and who was to hold the scepter
OF king over the sporting world for q
longer period than any other American
before or since his time. He was CIV
en- the name of John Lawrence Sullivan
and as John l." the name became
known in all parts of the wordld.
Sullivan's old-time friends In Boston
are expecting him here at an early
date and when he comes they have ar
ranged to hold q monster public re-
ception and testimonial In honor of his
hftieth birthday. Sullivans returns to
Boston have always been welcomed by
cheering crowds. And his receptions
have almost been as enthusiastic In
recent years as when he was the undis-
puted champion of the world.
When the ex-champion returned to
his home last winter after an absence
Of several years on the road 1t was
noticed that a great change had come
over him. In many respects he was the
same John L" as of old. glad to shake
hands with his old friends and willing
to give his opinion at great length
and with oratorical flourish on any
subject whatsoever. But before he was
many hours in town 1t was noticed
that he was not the old spendthrift
Sullivan of old. In fact, 1t was whis-
pered around town that John was be-
coming somewhat near" in his old age.
The fact Of the matter Is that Sui
livan after squandering fortune after
fortune, has become strongly imbued
with the spirit of New England thrift
Ever since he parted friendship with
John Barleycorn" Sullivan has been
making money and some say that he
has been making a great deal of 1t
Some estimate his present fortune al
well along in five figures. However
this may be 1t appears unlikely that he
will be IN need of any of the old-tims
benefits If he continues to follow his
present course.
Sullivan's career, so far as money
making enters 1t, has been a marvelou!
one. There are few men who have
had more opportunities to accumulate
fortune. All kinds of estimates hav.
been made Of his winnings while in thu
fighting game, and the most conserva
tive of these agree that from the tim,
he met Joe Goss in 1860 until he los
the championship to Corbett he hai
received and spent not less than a mil
lion dollars. His earnings ranged from
a $4,000 purse to 800 or $1,000 fol
the simple use OF his name, either fol
advertising purposes or to boom som,
theatrical combination. One tour o.
the country netted him 100000 in 4
few months time.
All of his enormous winnings Of
those days was recklessly sQuanderes
and only few years ago Sullivan re
turned to Boston with hardly enough
money in his pocket to pay for {
weeks lodging. But with him wisdom
appears to have come with age ant
now, though his earning capacity Il
much less than when he was in hi
prime, 1t is safe to say that he is IA
better on financially at the end of eacl
year.

the officers will be received in audi

All theaters and other places of amuse-

WHAT LOCAL OPTION rs

consistent advocate Of local option. A
man of this kind stands simply for
what we all believe, that the majority
of the people should rule.
In practical operation a local option
law is of much value even to COM
munities where the sentiment is unfa-
vorable to the elimination of the traf-
fc. It serves the purpose of a menace
against the unlawful practices of many
saloons. It is freely conceded by
nearly everybody who believes that sa-
looms should be permitted existence
that saloonkeepers should observe the
spirit of the law in regulation of the
traffic. No man will contend that a
| license to retail intoxicating liquors
carries with 1t the privilege OF violat-
| ing the law. Most of the evil of the
| traffic comes through the disposition
to evade certain provisions of the law
| intended to confine the saloons within
| due grounds. Many men believe, and
| there Is reasonable ground for their
belief, that the principal harm done
by the saloon comes from the per-
sistent violation OF the law. There
fore a local option law Is of great use
in keeping the saloons responsive to
public sentiment requiring strict OBJ
servance OF law. It is much easier
to make the saloons obey the Law
when they know that the people have
in their hands weapon powerful
enough to destroy the traffic at any
time when it is the public will so t.
do.
Local option, then. is not prohibi
ton, nor anything near 1t. In itself 1
does not prohibit saloons even in TIN
territorial limit prescribed unless tn
J people themselves see fit to take ad
/ vantage OF the provisions of the law.

Many persons honestly are con-
fused as to the exact principle I'm To-
cal option as applied to the re
strfefiOn of the retail liquor traffic.
Others have not a proper understand
ing of IT because those who are inter
ested In the dfscrediting of the the
Org purposedly misrepresent its pro-
viGions and ats purposes. Local option
really il nothing but home rule. II Ii
designed to give the people of stated
unit of government the power to say
for themselves whether or not saloons
shall be excluded from that particular
territory. In so far as the principle Is
concerned, there il not a particle Of
difference between local option by city
wards and townships and local option
with the county as the unit. In prac-
teal effect, of course, there is a wide
difference, because the difference In the
unit.
Broadly speaking, local option means
the rule OF the majority. This princi-

that the rights and privileges of the
minority shall be given due consfd-

It is true, of course, that a loca

traffic. Yet it does not follow that
