NO SALOONS IN
 COUNTRY DISTRICTS
Judge Gould Says There Will be no Licenses Approved Outside of This City, If in This City. None at Humphrey or Redfeld.

The three mile petition hearing is still on in the Jefferson county coul before Judge James Gould. The at torneys in the case are making very slow progress and it now appears that it will be weeks before all Of the evidence is heard. Judge Gould stated yesterday that the end of the hearing is not in sight.
 Regardless of Judge Gould's rul- ing in the case, he stated yesterday that he would positively refuse to is- sue dramshop licenses in this county outside of Pine Bluff, for the com ing year. Judge Gould said under no consideration would he approve any for saloon licenses for saloons in the country districts or in any towns outside of this city.
 At present there are two saloons at Humphrey and one at Redfield. In the former town saloons are col- ducted by J. B. Stokes and the Hum phrey Liquor Company and at Red field the saloon is operated by Simp- son & Company.
 Judge Gould states that absence of police protection prompts him to rid the country districts of dramshops.

The proper course for the present City Council to pursue is to resign their offices and give back into the hands of the people the burden which they accepted, and make known that they are not equal to the task of ad- ,ministering the affairs of the city un- jder present conditions. If no other reputable citizens can be found to undertake these offices, the charter 1 of the city should be surrendered and /, the Memphis plan of commission appointed.
 It is possible that when the next i legislature meets a law will be intro duced making cities and counties as T well as saloon keepers, parties to suits for damages where robbery, murder or any felony can be traced distinctly to the liquor purchased in saloon and to laxity of law of city and county in affording sufficient pro- lection to their citizens. These dam- ages would go to the families of those who have been injured. Under the present civil law q family can recover nothing from city or county and next to nothing from a saloon keeper. The moral recognized by all churches requires that compensation shall be made to the families of the unjustly injured. Cities and counties whose lax laws are the primary cause of murder, robbery or other felonies should be required to make some compensation to. the injured families. When such a law is enacted, cities and counties would go slower about issuing licenses to saloons.

Monsg. J. M. Lucey, pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in this city and vicar general of the Catholic Church Of Arkansas, in letter to The Graphic denounees the action of the City Council in repeating the midnight closing ordinance, regulating the saloons of the city, and declares that the members of the Pine Bluff City Council should resign and make known that they are not equal to the task of administering the affairs of the city under present conditions. " His letter is very emphatic. It fol- lows:
 City Editor of Graphic--I wish to enter protest against the action of the City Council in revoking their ordinance which closed the saloons Of the city at 12 midnight. The ma jority of the best citizens of Pine Bluff are, in my opinion, opposed to such action as they were hoping that the time was near at hand when the saloons could be effectually controlled in the interests of the moral and commercial interests of the commun- ity. If that object cannot be obtained, the only other course left open to the public is to suppress the saloon en- tirely. I did not sign the three mile petition but my name may now go on it at any time and I trust that Judge Gould will be able to see his way towards refusing to grant any license to saloon ill the city for 1909. Catholics and their church. while not in favor of many extreme measures are strictly in favor of temperance and laws to enforce it.

FREE TRADE WITH
THE PHILIPPINE
RESTRICTIONS ON THE AMOUNT
OF SUGAR AND TOBACCO TO BE
IMPORTED.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-Free
trade with the Philippines was one OF
the most important matters agreed
upon by President-elect Taft and the
Republican members of the Ways and
Means Committee at the conference on
tariff revision. While Taft favors free
trade with the insular possessions
without any restrictions, it is under
stood that, in order that there shall be
no dissension, he has agreed that the
amount of sugar and tobacco which
should be allowed free entry should be
restricted.
With that end in view, it is under
stood that the sugar interests have
agreed to a compromise, by which a
certain amount of sugar will be adj
mitted from the Philippines annually
free of duty and that all sugar over
that amount will pay the present rate
of duty, which is 25 per cent less than
the duty imposed by the Dingley tariff
on sugar from other countries.
Large beet sugar manufacturers were
in conference with various members oil
the Ways and Means Committee to-
day. What amount will be fixed as a
maximum limit for the free entry of to-
bacco has not yet been determined.

WASHINGTON, December 11.-High
military officials have been appearing
this week before the Military Affairs
Committee and the Committee on Fort
ifications to urge liberal appropria
lions for Notifications for the insular
possessions and the Pacific Coast. Con-
gressmtn Kahn has been laboring to
impress on his fellow committeeman
the Importance of adequate precautions
and he has been gratified at the sup
port received from the military au-
thorities. What the Army thinks on
this subject. may be judged from the
statement made by General Murray,
chief of artillery, in his annual re-
port, where, among other startling
statements, he said;
"In the insular possessions the pro-
vision of more batteries and the ac-
cessories necessary for their service
is an urgent need. The Importance of
the early completion of the coast de-
lenses of certain localities in these
possessions lies in the fact that such
defenses are necessary not only for
the protection and retention of these
possessions, but also, and of greater
moment, as affecting fundamentally
any scheme of national defense, for af-
fording secure naval bases and coaling
stations. Without such fortified bases
the retention of our insular posses
sions, the protection of our commerce
and the ability of our Navy to conduct
offensive operations outside of narrow
zones bordering upon the coasts of the
! United States, can be assured only by
stationing in every possible theater &
fleet superior to the combined fleets
of the enemy, condition wholly i'm
possible of attainment"
After outlining the work of this sort
provided for, the General says that
most important is the completion OF

cost of raising sheep These figures
showed that the profit on a flock of
sheep in Idaho is 10 per cent. Solo
mon Luna, a WOO grower of New
Mexico, asked the committee to retain
the present tariff on wool, saying that
he would like to have the duty in
creased if he thought there was any
possibility of having it done. II. w.
Kelly, representing the New Mexico
Wool Growers Association, claimed
the cost of raising sheep has increased
and asked to have the tariff on wool
retained.
