BOYS GETTING MANY
CHESTNUTS THESE DAYS

The chestnuts this year are finer
than for many seasons past and the
opening Of the burrs has not been de-
layed awaiting cold weather. Frost
was supposed to be necessary TO freeze
the fibre that holds the burr together,
but this year there has been no frost
and the burrs are popping open and
the rays Of the sun Drowned them
nicely. It takes but a gentle breeze
to shake the nuts TO the ground. The
flavor Of the chestnuts is also finer
this year
For many years October has been
the month for gathering chestnuts, and
city folk, both by train and auto. have
secured the country over. but this year
they win be disappointed for the coun-
try boy has gotten ahead Of them and
the bulk of the chestnut crop has al
ready been harvested.

FREIGHT TRAFFIC INCREASES
3. & o. Railroad Company Believes
Change is Permanent.

Freight traffic over the Baltimore
and Ohio continues to improve slowly.
The character of the increase thus far
has been such as to lead the traffic
officials of the system TO believe that
the change which has taken place Is
permanent. More high-grade freight is
moving than at any other time for sew
eral months, while coal shipments are
increasing at a gratifying rate. OF
over 200 locomotives taken out OF SER
vice when the business depression was
the worst. about so have been put
back in commission. This increase in
the motive power is attributed largely
to freer movement of lake traffic AT
one time the Baltimore and Ohio had
10000 idle cars. This number has
been decreased to 1900, and the indi-
cations are that the number will be
further decreased in the next few
weeks. September earnings, both gross
and net, promise to be even better
than those for August, which was one
of the best months of the year
Evening journal., 1908-10-01

Our trade needs a house cleaning and
we should aid the good work along. The
saloon that is run in violation of the law
or Of decency should be put out Of busi-
ness and the better element in the trade
should continue to lead in the reform. A
saloon should be decent resort; it should
be the working mans club; it should in
culcate real temperance; it should give
thought, first OF all. 10 the welfare of its
patrons; It should consider the home, the
wife and the children; It should seek to
elevate and not degrade those who visit
II, and II it is run in violation Of law its
license should be cancelled.
Could such conditions do harm to the
business? 1t is Improbable TO be decent;
TO be law abiding; to be kind; to do unto
others as you would have them do unto
you? We think that all this would pay
and it would relieve the business Of odlum
and it would permit prohibition to die a
happy and peaceful death.
do not write this letter through any
fear OF prohibition, because an experience
of more than half century tells us that
prohibition will not prohibit. and COM
mon sense tells us that prohibition viii not
prohibit and the statistics Of the Interna
tional Revenue Department show con
clusively that prohibition does not pro
hibit, but I write because 1 think the
saloon is liable to be superseded by unlaw
ful sellers of alcoholic beverages. as Il
the case now in all prohibition territory
and because I think the saloon can bI
and should be a desirable and not an un
desirable factor in society.
write it because I think the press Il
right, because I think the law ana orde
leagues are right, because / think the min
listers who teach what the Bible teacher
are right because think the great con
servative element in society is right.
write it because / know that the larger
majority Of saloon keepers want TO ODE,
the laws; want TO see their business ele
waited; want to bid the drunkard an
eternal farewell. and it is my hope tha
in the not distant future every saloor
keeper who favors law. order, decenc,
and temperance will join the Nationa
Model License League and will stand a!
we stand with the real force of reform and
fully abreast Of the most advanced public
sentiment.

LICENSE LEAGUE
SENDS LETTER
Organization of Liquor Men
issues an Address to Those
in the Trade
1T URGES DEALERS TO
OBEY ALL THE LAWS

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 1.-The National
Model License League. an organization Of
distillers, brewers, wine makers, whole
salers and retailers. with headquarters
here, win begin on October ?, the distribu-
ton Of an address to the saloon keepers OF
the United States. An ATTEMPT will be
made to place the address in the hands Of
every retailer in the country.
The address is written by T. NJ. Gill
more. President of the National Model
License League. Every retailer throughout
the nation is called on to obey the law
and TO meet the will of the people. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that the people
are opposed to the lawless saloon and
10 the evils which have been connected
20 a greater or less extent with the sale
Of alcoholic beverages. Saloon keepers are
warned that they must either respect pub
lie sentiment and obey the law. or lose
their legal right to do business.
The address is as follows:
To the saloon keepers of the United
States; -.
The Prohibition wave that was sweeping
over the country would seem TO be on the
wane but the protest on the part OF the
people against the lawless saloon, the
dive and the gambling resort is not sub.
siding, but Is exhibiting its force In local
option conflicts. The people are demand
ing and properly that their laws shall be
obeyed Society is moving forward and the
saloon must move forward or be outlawe6.
The edict has gone forth that men must
be sober IL they would be free and few
men will now contend that a man DOS
sesses an inherent right to overthrow his
reason
The edict has gone forth that saloons
must obey all laws-that they must not
sell to intoxicated men, nor TO habitual
drunksrds, nor TO minors-that they must
not exhibit improper pictures, nor connect
themselves with gambling resorts--in a
word that the saloon must not be a nuis-
ance.
The press of the country has so declared
the ministers have so declared; the Law
and Order Leagues have so declared; the
great conservative element in society has
so declared. These forces for good are all
powerful in society and our trade cannot
afford to oppose them.
1t would be foolish for us to oppose them
even though we could do so successfully
because the demands they are making are
our demands.
