TO RAISE LICENSE
Legislature To Be Asked TO Pass
Bill Increasing State Liquor I.
License at Next Session.
DRUGGISTS TO Be UNDER FIRE

Probably one Of the most interesting
bills ever discussed before the state
legislature will find it's origin in the
| city of Racine, when the next assem-
blyman-SGalwart or DemocratsA-asks
for a revision Of the old law enacted
years ago fixing the state rate of the
liquor license at $40 year. It is now
proposed, since the trend Of time has
made different conditions, to have this
license increased considerable, some
where in the neighborhood of the
amount demanded from the saloon men.
City officials have discussed the
question. It is likely a resolution will
be introduced in the council favoring
the introduction in the assembly Of
such bill. The claim is made that
many Of the drug stores deal exclusive
ly in wines and liquors and the reve-
nues derived exceed the business car
ried on by many Of the saloon keepers.
The saloon interests are strongly in
favor of revising this 1old law, now
almost obsolete, while the drug inter
ests are opposed to thetplan. It is evil
dent that bitter fight will be made
on the bill when it comes up for de
| bate. ga 1 a f-1G p
Whether or not the two candidates
will be asked their position in this
case before the fall election remains
now only a matter of conjecture but
probably not. However, the saloon
men claim the license rate of theIdrug-
gists ought to be considerably increas-
| ed. One saloon man said some Of the
Edrug stores sell more liquors than some
wholesale houses Of course this is
! largely in the bottled goods and more
frequently goes into the homes for
'Fmedical" purposes. The more gen
teel imbibers- rather adverse to going
into the saloon prefer to patronize
the drug man and get "nipp behind
the prescription counter or else buy by.
the bottle or case, have it delivered to
the home cellar and then use as desired,
according to the saloon keeper.
1t is for this reason-the drug stores
dealing so extensively in the liquor
DuSIneSS-JnaC the saloon men propose
to have the license increased to some
where in proportion to the. amount
now paid by the saloonists. II h~f-
Competition in the drug line, it is
said, has gorwn SO strong the dealers
have gone quite extensively into the
sundry" business and as long as they
are provided with government IL
cense and are compelled under the
laws to pass a rigid pharamical exami-
nation feel that the handling of delicate
beverages comes under their line Of
business, and that they should not
be compelled to pay more for per-
nit to do business. Opinions vary
considerably on this subject and out
side the saloon keepers the druggists
seem to have the best Of the argument.

Thurston at the Riiou.

Howard Thurston's performance at the Bijou theatre last night was revelation. As a magician he is a past master of his art The entertainment he provides is not only elaborate to a surprising degree, but it is refined interesting and at times highly diverting. His tricks range from sleight-of- hand to the most complicated and puzzing cabinet manipulation Noth- ing, apparently. is too difficult for him to attempt and he keeps an audience wondering all the time. The principal acts are mystifying to say the least of them, while a great many pretty and clever conceptions are worked out during the progress of the performance. Thurs ton is never idle His ingenuity seems tc be inexhaustible. So many and varied are his tricks that one loses count of them and is hurried on recklessly to a finale which is the most startling of all Thurston's efforts. This is his celebrated trunk trick, which is supposed to be the act of bringing a young lady down from the ceiling of the theatre in a trunk and releasing her from captivity on the stage. There is nothing crude about any of Thurstons tricks. He works with rap idity and precision that leaves little time for guessing, and while everything he
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-08

does would be simple enough, no doubt, when explained, his tricks are extremely puzzling to the lay mind.
 The performance is divided into three parts In the first act Thurston shows remarkable skill in card manipulation Then he introduces his cabinet from h. dia, his ducks and flowers trick, the flags and rabbits, "An Honest Man. and Kel- lars great masterpiece, "The Levitation of Princess Karnac." This trick alone, as the press agent would say, is worth the price of admission. The princess rises in mid-air without any visible support while Thurston stands free of her figure ana then a hoop is passed all about her body without showing any obstruction The spirit cabinet is highly amusing, the crys- tai case is good and the act concludes with "A Bit of Fun
 In the second act Belar Hussan, gen. uine India conjuror, shows some of the Indian fa6ir tricks which are so often read about and rarely seen on the stage. His performance is very interesting. Paul Kleist also appears in this act in his black art comedy and musical act. kleist can make whistle talk and his act is one of the most unique known to the stage.
 In part third Thurston presents be- wldering array of magic. The magician assistant pigeon pie, feeding the baby, a serious mistake, an appointment eggs extraordinary, for which two little chaps from the audience, a boy and girl, fur nish the comedy; the bridal chamber, most elaborate transformation In a cab inet: the prisoner of Canton, startling trick by which boy is securely fastened in a narrow cabinet and turned upside down without the audience being any the wiser; the lady and the boy, another re- markab1e trick by which two persons are made to exchange places in most ineX- plicable manner, and finally the trunk trick, styled "The Triple Mystery" which must be seen to be appreciated.
 >'Thurston's engagement at the Bijou is really a notable event, and theatre-goers should not miss an opportunity of seeing a man who is unquestionably one of the best, if not the best, at present before the public.

FAIR ASSOCIATION

Huntsville, December 7.-6Special)- An increase in the capital stock of the Tennessee Valley Fair association has been authorized by the directors in their annual meeting. The stock will be increased to $50 900 and extensive improvements will be made on the plant here. The half-mile track will be enlarged to a mile track. the neees- sary ground having been secured sev- eral months ago, and the association will put itself in position to make bid for providing training quarters for several strings of race horses.
 officers elected for the ensuing year Jones. vice president; Ed L. Pulley, sec retary; Harry M. Rhett, treasurer; O. K. Stegall, general manager. President Garth and Secretary Pulley were ap- pointed to represent the Tennessee Val ley association at a meeting of the southern fair directors in Nashville this week. An effort will be made to secure more favorable dates for this fair. The association wishes to get in line with the fairs that are held in Kentucky, Alabama and Tennessee
 It is generally agreed that the fairs have been held here too late in the sea son, while the dates that have been offered by the fair circuit have been too early. If suitable dates can be se- cured the fair will probably pay hand somely in the future and Huntsville will be one of the most desirable points in the circuit.

At the Gayety.

Two crowded houses witnessed the per formance of Around the Clock" at the Gayety yesterday, an it is not assuming too much to say it is the brightest and most pleasing attraction that has been at that popular playhouse this season. The lines are bright and amusing, the music catchy and tupeful, the costumes fetch- ing and the chorus unusually pretty. The leading comedians. Billie Ritehie and Dick McAllister, as Billie Smith the man from nowhere and Perkins the bell boy, were much in evidence, and were always funny; in fact, they kept the audience in an uproar while on the stage. MT. Ritchie gave a wonderful impersonation of pleasure seeking youth, who wanders from the paths of sobriety Charles Emer- aid as an English lord gave fine piece of character acting. w. c. Prick and J. P. Griffiths were excellent as Tom and Hank Wilson.
 Sadie Duff as Mrs. Abbott, the jealous wife; Winfried Frances as Susie, the maid, and Mile. Ami Hill as Tom Will sons wife, were all that could be desired. The chorus was shapely and we'll trained and cleverly costumed. The vaudeville

It is further true that the sooner such laws when adopted are applied with exact equality and justice to the two races the better for the moral tone of the state and community concerned. Negroes should be given an opportunity equally with whites by education and thrift to meet the requirements of eligibility which the state legislatures in their wisdom shall lay down in order to secure the safe exercise of the electoral franchise. The negro should ask nothing other than an equal chance to qualify himself for the franchise and when that is granted by law or not denied by executive dis crimination he has nothing to complain of.
 Practical Progress.
 "The proposal to repeal the 18th amendment Is utterly impracticable and should be relegated to the limbo of for gotten issues. What we are considering Is something practical, something that means attainable progress. It seems to me to follow, therefore, that there is, or ought to be a common ground upon which we can all stand in respect to the race question in the south and its polit- ical bearing, that takes away any justi- fication for maintaining the continued solidity of the south to prevent the so- called negro domination. The fear that in some way or other a social equality between races shall be enforced by law or brought about by political meas ures really has no foundation except in the imagination of those who fear such result The federal government has nothing to do with social equality. The war amendments do not declare In favor of social equality; all that the law or constitution attempt to secure is equality of opportunity before the law and in the pursuit of happiness and in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property. Social equality is something that grows out of voluntary concessions by the individuals forming society.
