rlay Still Give Drinks.

In view of the widespread mis-
understanding Of certain provisions
of the Byrd law, recently enacted
by the Virginia legislature, Judge
Thomas w Harrison, of Winches-
ter, gave out the following state
ment last week, which is in reply
to an urgent inquiry from a prom.
inent clergy man:
50. "In nv opinion the law does not
forbid the use of wine at commun-
ion. One clause of the Byrd law
forbids any person from selling or
dispensing intoxicating liquor on
Sunday, Christmas or election days
Certain justices of the peace in
Loudoun county and Alexandra
are reported to have construed dis
pensing as giving, and fined per-
sons for giving drink to a friend
on Sunday. My own idea Of this
is that they are clearly wrong
The words, selling and dispensing,
in the particular clause have refer.
ence to the authority to sell or dis.
pense in the other clauses in the
law. OF course, if the law is thai
no one can give drink to q friend
clergyman could not give wine
| in the communion service. Under
the Byrd law no one can sell liquor
at any time but licensed dealer
He can sell. but not on Sunday
Under the Byrd law there is M
prohibition against any one givlnt
or dispensing liquor without sal
at any time except social clubs a
their club house. Such clubs mus
have a license, and then they ar
| forbidden to do>so on Sunday. |
seems to me that this is the plail
meaning of the law"

He made us sit until

nap. He made lis sit until a
mouthful of food could be prepar-
ed, and despite our assurances that
we did not want any trouble taken
when he announced that dinner
was ready we sat down at one OF
the most bountiful boards that we
had found in the islands. A mum.
Der of neighbors had come in to
sit with US and enjoy The hospitali.
ty Of our host. When we began
to prepare for start we were CIV
en- to understand that If We left
we would offend our host, so we
had to content ourselves with a
five mile journey for the day.
This is the way it goes all over
the islands. The people insist that
it is much better bV glidlng quict-
ly the current Of events than by
hurrylng from place to place. 1t
is not Incidence so much as the
feeling among the people that
there is no necessity for hurry. We
have but this life to live, and
why should we worry over it when
we can get much more pleasure
and enjoyment out of it by taking
things easy. If we do not get to
the next town, we can, possibly,
get there tomorrow. Ii not to-
morrow. then some other day. 1t
is Ieally all easy philosophy.

The Deceased Wife's Sister.

The law against marrying deceased
wife's sister, which caused so much
discussion i'll England, grew out Of
the ancient tribal law forbidding ia
Their to sell more than one daughter to
the same man when the Briton was
emerging from polygamy and when
for u shillings of the present money
man might dismiss his wife or kill
her if she would not go. As civil law
it was to protect the living wife and
knit tribes closer together by inter.
marriage When ecclesiastical law be-
came supreme a misleading of some
Scripture text was used to put the
sister of rams wife among the pro-
hibited degrees of relationship. This
was the act of 1911 60 Henry Wild:
"A man may not marry his deceased
wifes sister or her daughter, but he
may marry his first cOusin."-London

They dart hither and thither so quick
iy that the eye can scarcely follow
their movements. The effects of the

No more drinks at Schuetzen park

Davenport pleasure resorts.
Davenport is plunged into deep
mourning by the edict that went forth
last night from the Civic federation,
which decided at its meeting to take
action to close both places So far as
the bars are concerned. The excite

federation proceeded against the two
I3rks under the mulct law, but it is
even greater now.

The action which the federation

nuict law under which Davenport sa-
looms are operated. The, iowa mulct
law applies only to Incorporated cities
and towns, and places outside of the
corporate limits of Davenport come
under the Prohibition amendment
which absolutely forbids the sale of
liquor.
As neither Schuetzen park nor Su-
turban island park are within the
corporate limits of Davenport. the
chance of their being allowed 20 con
tinue in business seems slight. in the
