composed of 500 members. and the
business mems association met In
joint session here today and passed

Mrs. Wright is noted for her good taste

western world and must act accordingly.
She is fond of soft. fluffy raiment and of
laces and embroidered stuns. Her hair

she arranges 1t with dainty care. Her
husband has said that In all the thirty

dirt on the Sabbath day. Some excit-
able gentleman promptly arose and an
nounced that some time before the food
a regulation had been passed prohibit

that it was violated.
The matter was taken before Judge
Mullowny, in the Police Court, and there
it was thrashed and rethrashed and
hashed and rehashed until his honor.
becoming weary of all of the argument,
threw the whole matter out of court
and held that the law was not in force.
But that little matter of working on
Sunday, the discovery of a law that had
never been repealed providing that lie
who dug potatoes or flshed or showed
a perambulator should be required to
treat the municipality to cigars, suggest
ed line of thought that fairly para
lyzed the conservatives in this city.
Suppose all of the obsolete laws in the
District, all of the laws that have been
overlooked in this busy age, were to take
life suddenly and march up and demand
recognition, where would the average Cit
izen stand? Or would he stand at all?
This Is an interesting thought.
Take for instance, the matter OF these
fines At the time the laws were passed
each citizen in and around washington
was the proud possessor of a large to.
bacco patch and his principal means OF
livelihood was the annual sale OF MS
crop Consequently at that time tobac-
co. which was cheap, took the place OF
the coin of the realm, a pound Of tobacco
having a stated value in cash and being
considered as legal tender
Nowadays kind trusts and corporations
have showed up the price until the cheap
est tobacco on the market Is rated at .
cents for two ounces or 40 cents a pound,
and the high-grade cigars measure up
occasionally to 50 cents for an infinitesi-
NAL fraction of a pound. In other words,
the present situation would require gen.
give the proprietor heart failure by buy
ing. say 5000 two-ounce cans OF tobacco
as punishment for having tried to clean
out his WoodShed.
And what would the government do
with the tobacco? OF course it would be
lovely for awhile for the officials. They
would get down to work in the morning
and, seating themselves at their desks,
would say:
James, bring me two cans of Mr.
Smiths second fine, mixed with little
of Mr. Robinson's forfeited collateral
But wouldn't this pail after time:
Wouldn't there come time when the
official would sigh as he pulled one o.
the last fines paid by man who stayed
up after o'clock and would long for the
dear old times when he didn't smoke sc
much because tobacco cost money and
he couldn't afford anything more than q
