make the traffic disturbing factor

we are mistaken in this criticism we
will be glad to be set right by the
originators of the law.
The whole question Is one to
which the fullest and most earnest
consideration and discussion should
be given, Every good citizen will
welcome the spirit of readiness to
cooperate in the solution of a vexed
and vexatious question which the
gentlemen OF the Model License
League have manifested, and we are
greatly disposed to the belief that
along this road lies the most hope

ment of existing evils that has yet
been offered. Our columns are open
for expression of opinion on the sub
ject, which should be made as con-
else and pointed as possible. Louis

Feeding Some Good Stock.

Il. G.. Conklin has $50 head OF fine
steers which he Is feeding on alfalfa
at his west-side ranch, and they will
soon be ready for market. He has a
way of his own for handling beef
cattle, and they get only the choicest
of hay, the stems being removed
from the feed yard before they are
tempted to chew them, and the real
alfalfa bouquets are brought on
again. When our local butchers be-
gin to sell beefsteaks from Conk-
Inns herd, customers will have a
chance to test the plan.
Mr.. Conklin invested In some OF
the Sir Walter Raleigh potatoes from
Wisconsin two years ago. and now he
has a large supply Of seed potatoes
ready for market
People who have read our articles
showing the tremendous advantage
of having thrifty potatoes all of one
size and variety will appreciate the
opportunity of getting some OF his
seed.

Discussing the Liquor Question
sss sss ssssssssssssssssN

Representative Bartholdt asked
that the decision of the committee to
close its hearings February IL be re-
scinded, in order to allow represen-
tatives of the California wine in
terests to come to Washington and
present their side of the case, and
also to give further opportunity to
representatives of the German
American Alliance to be heard.
This request was denied, Chair
man Jenkins stating that it already
had been agreed with Representative
bittlefield of Maine, member of the
committee who has left the city for
time, that no further hearings
would be held other than tomorrow,
Saturday, Monday and Tuesday
mornings. In asserting the complete
failure of prohibition laws in Maine,
Kansas and Iowa, Mr.. Bartholdt re-
marked: These things we know,
but we do not know how prohibition
laws are going to operate in the
states of Alabama and Georgia"
Comment of a Southerner.
Pardon me- interrupted Chair
man Jenkins, but heard an answer
to that query, made by southerner
only this morning He said: The
Inauguration of prohibition laws in
Alabama and Georgia will work like
charm. They will mean that a
white gentleman can get drink
whenever he wants it, but a Niger
can't get drop"
Representatives Clayton OF Ala
bama and Brantley of Georgia laugh
ingly protested that this was not so.
Surely, Mr.. Chairman, your
friend did not speak that way OF Ala
bama?" questioned Mr.. Clayton.
I'm quite positive he was not re-
ferring to Georgia, added Mr.. Bent
ley.
He said Alabama and he said
Georgia, replied Mr.. Jenkins, and
even some of the prohibition repre-
sentatiyes joined in the laughter that
followed. Washington Cd. c. Star.

church conventions and assemblies,
else it would long ago have been rel
egated to the shelf; nor has legisla-
ton as yet successfully removed it
from the arena of agitation. Temper
ance sentiment has grown with re-
markable rapidity during recent
years, but even If the antisaloon
people and prohibitionists could have
their way throughout the country,
it is probable that the result would
be temporary, and the question
would be temporary, and the ques-
ton would recrudescence on the de-
mand of appetite.
Notwithstanding these facts and
suggestions, material progress has
been made toward establishing a
working basis of compromise between
the two extremes of absolute destruc-
ton of the traffic and it's ill-regulat-
ed existence. This encouraging ad-
vance has been gained as a result of
the campaign for determination
awakening the liquor men them
selves to a realization that some CO.
operation with public sentiment on
their part is demanded by the situa-
ton
Here in Kentucky, stronghold OF
the wholesale trade, wise men have
given much thought to the discovery
of some solution for the problem that
would meet with popular approval
and stay the tide that threatens to
overwhelm the business and demora-
lie the vast capital that has for long
been invested in it.. Oklahoma,
Georgia and Alabama have hung out
the danger signals in a way SO obvi-
Gus that they can not be overlooked.
Kentucky, itself, has manifested a
menacing impotence with existing
conditions, the outcome of which can
not be predicted.
The help toward the removal of
the question from the field of contro-
versy, and SO fran the sphere of poll
tics in which 1t has been disturbing
factor, emanating within the ranks of
the traffic, comes in the form of
proposition for a model license law.
1t is evident that much serious and
earnest thought has been devoted to
the question by the men responsible
for the suggestion. They have been
actuated by desire to conserve the,
best interests and moral welfare of
the community, and at the same time
avoid the infringement upon per-
sonal liberty which Is the strongest
argument against sumptuary legis-
lation.
The model lirerse law is based up
on the theory that man will follow
his personal interest in obeying the

imposed, other than to advise that
while it should yield an adequate re-
turn to the government for the privi-
lege accorded, it should not be so
high as to encourage the handling of
impure liquors and the evasion or
violation of restrictions as to hours
of closing, the sale of beverages to
minors and intoxicated persons and
similar offenses against good order.
1t is proposed that no new license
should be issued In the future until
the proportion becomes not more
than one for each 500 of population,
and further additions should then
be made only as the community de-
mands.
A rider Is included advocating a
penalty against any minor over
eighteen years of age, who represents
himself to have attained his MAORI
ty in order to procure intoxicants.
These provisions seem just and In
| the interests of wise regulation.
The whole questions of hours of
sale and like details are to be left to
the jurisdiction Of the local COM
munity In which the license Is held

ment of the trade with In their bord-
ers. In case such as that OF Louis
Vile, unless the voters declared for
the wiping out of the existing
licenses, 1t would make permanent
those already granted, and prevent
any increase until such time as the
proportion had reached that of one
in 500, which would not be until our
population attained nearly the 500,-
900 mark.
There is but one criticism that
suggests itself to our mind as being
fairly based upon the provisions OF
the proposed law, 1t being granted
that the end sought Is desirable. We
fear that 1t might fall short of its
very purpose to eliminate the bust
ness from politics by leaving the
question of saloon regulation to local
sentiment.

sent themselves. One has platform

midnight every other night, and

HEARING BY HOUSE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE.
Proposed Protection of DRY States
From ImportatiOns of In
toxicating Liquors.

Representatives of the prohibition
party, the Anti-Saloon League of
America, the Womans Christian
Temperance Union, the Presbyterian
church, the United Presbyterian
church and other Christian organiza-
tions appeared today before the
House committee on the judiciary to
urge favorable report on one or
more of the bills introduced to pro-
tect "dry" local option districts from
receipt of interstate as we'll as inter-
state shipments of liquor; that is, to
bestow the right of borderline con-
fiscation of liquors shipped to des-
tinations within prohibition districts.
The Rev. S. c. Nicholson of Harris
burg, Pa, legislative superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League of Ameri-
ca. and state superintendent of the
'Anti-Saloon League of Pennsylvania,
spoke for the organizations: Prof.
Varies Scanlon of Pittsburg, for the
presbyterian church Finley Hen
erickson of Cumberland, Md, for the
prohibition party, and Mr. Ray of
Pennsylvania, for the United Presby-
terrain church. Present for the Wo-
mems Chrictian Temperance Union
were the national president, Mrs. l..
M. N. Stevens of Portland, Me-, the
national secretary. Miss Gordon, and
the national executive superintend-
ent Miss Ellis, Representative Bar
tholdt of Missouri, chairman of the
committee on public buildings and
grounds, made an argument against
the, proposed measure in behalf of
the National GermanAmerican AL
lance.
Prohibitionists Questioned.
Representative Clayton of Ala
bama, a member Of the committee,
whose attitude supports federal pro-
lection of prohibition districts, ques-
toned some of the prohibition speak
ers as to the legal right of the states
to invoke federal excise protection In
the face of the voluntary surrender
to the government of the very rights
now sought to be reobtained. 1t was
agreed that briefs should be sub
mitted on this point,

law, provided the privilege extended
to him is made of sufficient value.
The working out of this theory Is
shown to have two important results.
1t will automatically enforce such
regulations as any community may
deem wise to impose, and will re-
move the saloon from politics. The
detailed APPLICATION of the theory Is
simplicity itself.
1t first demands that all licenses
now out standing should be made
permanent, unless cancelled by a
vote of the majority of the citizens
of state, county, municipality or
precinct. This makes saloon license
matter of personal property that
can not be meddled with, suspended
or revoked as the result of mere
political prejudice or boss influence.
It secures the holder in his rights
irrespective of what party or body
of men may be in power, and thus
removes one of the greatest induce
ments at present operating to drag
the trade as an organization into
politics.
This in itself so enhances the
! privileges extended by law as to
| make 1t one of serious consideration
| to the owner. The abuse of the privi-
| lege is provided against in the re-
auirement that infraction of such
| regulations as may be imposed by
| the locality In which the license is
held will, for the first offense, be
punishable by suspension of the
business of the licensee for period
of thirty days, and for the second Of
Tense by immediate cancellation,
with the added penalty that the hold
er may never be licensed gain to re-
tail liquors in that state.
1t is apparent that this takes the
|
main of individual direction on the
part of license boards and other SINH
lar bodies subject to extraneous in
| fluences, and makes 1t matter OF
simple evidence and decision of the
court. Thus, obedience to the law
becomes essential to existence, and
depends no longer upon the charac-
| ter of the licensee or his pull with
certain discretionary authorities.
These are the vital principles of
| the proposition, and we are free to
admit that they commend themselves
to our Judgment as being based upon
common sense and promising great
measure of relief from conditions
that have aroused the popular criti-
ism and condemnation
No definite suggestion is made as
to the amount of license that shall be

The following article taken from the piano and
Organ Purchasers Guide will give the public some
idea of the merits of the Piano given away by Th~
Republican in their piano contest:
STARR PIANO CO., THE Benjamin Starr,
the youngest son of Charles West Starr, who was
born in Philadelphia in 1875, and was one of the
pioneers in opening up the Western country and who
settled in Indiana, where he took a large part in
building up the city of Richmond, was left to COM
plete the task of developing the "House of Starr"
in the manufacture of pianos The "House of Starr
may Justly be called the pioneer of the Western piano
industry In 1898, under the leadership of the late
John Lumsden, of St. Louis, the business was incor
porated. The alliances established by him have
been maintained by his successors, with terri
tory added, until now the Starr piano is sold by enter
prising dealers throughout this country, in Europe
and the far East Such systematic, plan of distrl-
button creates healthy progress in factory develop
ment and skilled manufacturing which without the
burden of preferred stock other fixed charges
The fact that today sixty thousand (6oooo) Starr
pianos are in use is proof of the assertion. The
present factories and immense lumber yards OF the
company are models of completeness Nothing that
the builders art and unlimited capital can furnish
in the matter of equipment and construction has been
neglected. The floor space alone covers eight acres
while thirty-three acres devoted to the lumber
yards for ar-dryng. Machinery of the most mod
ern type has been installed, and today the plant is
one of the largest in the world devoted exclusively
to the manufacture of fine pianos. The power-house
is pride to the company, it being one of the largest
and best equipped of any piano factory, and is COM
