running up and down the land speaking

The Champion of Faiyblay, Chicago's
liquor paper. laments that thousands
of dollars will be lost by Chicago
saloonkeepers as the result of the new
clause in the national pure food law,
referring to the labelling of whiskies."
That is to say, the Chicago saloon
keepers have been unnitigated liars in
their labels.

Prohibition and a resolution demanding

in Lebanon.
The report is that the provincial gov
eminent of British Columbia has an
nounced it will grant no licenses for
sale of liquor in the railroad construc-
ton camps along the line of the Grand
Trunk Pacific. The chief reason, apart
from moral grounds, is said to be the
lessened expense for policing these dis
tricts.
Attorney General Malone Of Massa-
chusetts has issued the decision that
all malt extracts containing over one
percent of alcohol shall be considered
as liquor and can only be sold by i.
censed dealers or saloons. There will
be an attempt to appeal to the supreme
court, but until then the attorney gen.
erals decision will hold.

GOODBYE TO STATE NORMAL.

GOODBYE TO STATE NORMAL.
It's goodbye TO the State Normal
School. After one of the NEST vigo-
Gus campaigns ever conducted within
the State in its behalf. the legisla-
tue has killed the bill for its estab-
Iishment. The bill was reported ad-
yersely in the lower house, by not
only the appropriation committee.
but the committee on universities
and colleges as well. as if the action
Of the appropriation committee was
not final
The action of the legislature will
be a disappointment to the teachers,
if not to the people of the state. The
latter looked upon the subject with
some misgivings, however, for they
were not prepared to accept another
great educational institution as be-
ing one of the needs of the time
With the three greats chools devoted
to the education of che young men
and young ladies of the State, calling
for nearly a million dollars, almost as
much as is appropriated for the com
mon schools, they believed that the
present was a bad time to undertake
the work of further educational de-
velopment. The needs of the pres
ent educational institutions are TOO
great for other and new schools to
be established and the legislature
wisely took this view of the matter
And so it is goodbye to the Normal
and it is we'll.

Governor Noel has sent his first
message to the legislature, and the
message is characteristic OF the man,
being cogent, clcar-cut. and unequivO-
cal. One of the salient points OF the
message is an emphatic pronuncia-
mento in favor of statutory prohibi-
ton. The governor states that the
brand of crime has been placed upon
liquor selling by all the counties in
the State except a few on the Gulf
coast and the river front, and these
counties are now praying to be left
unmolested. He declares, however,
that they do not leave their sister
counties unmolested, but by sending
both liquor and Iiquor-soaked victims
into prohibition territory breed
crimes which otherwise would not oc-
cur. Then, too, the liquor men, ac-
cording to the governor, are becoming
100 prominent in politics. He de-
clares that in all elections and legis-
lative gatherings representatives of
the liquor interests are actively at
work, seeking to secure results which
Will be beneficial to them, but which
are pernicious to the interests of the
people at large.
The Governor declares that the
public sentiment demands the clos
ing of the bucket shops, and insists
that besides being made a criminal
under the law, every dealer should
,o I,oId Ti,I,I0 F0,. 1,,e--y,.. ;,,1,,,.,.7 -
his patrons; and every person who
provides a building, telephone or
other instrument or facility for
operating future gambling, should
also be made responsible for such
losses, recoverable by the nearest
relatives. if the victim himself will
not institute legal proceedings.
In his denunciation of pistol totingI
The governor is especially severe.
Pistols are made and used chiefly
and for nothing else are they
Men who carry them are
with an instrument Of death, and its
of shedding human
blood. The governor pleads for ad-
1irional restrictions regulating the
sale and ownership OF deadly weap-
)ns, suggesting that the sales be re-
5tricted to weapons OF the larger
.ize v~t
The message IS tersely summarized (
~ the governor, who, in his closing
para graph, says: Such laws should
BE enacted as will enforce gamblers

and liquor sellers TO reform

The unanimity with which the
lower house of the legislature passed
the concurrent resolution the past
week, submitting to the people con-
stitutional amendment abolishing
he office of county treasurer, is
aiken as an indication of the senti-
ment of the people, and it will not
be surprising for the senate to follow
up the work of the house and also pass
the resolution. 1t is understood that
the people will vote on this amend
ment this fall at the general election.
and, If it passed, it will not become
operative until after the terms of the
present treasurers have expired. The
Office is useless one and the State
would be saved seventy-five thousand
dollars every year in its abolishment-

Cut Expenses.

One of the expensive departments
of the city is that of sidewalks. There
is hardly month but what there is a
bill for $50 for surveying sidewalks.
While all other bills are itemized,
those of the surveyor are in lump
sum, not specifying date or where the
work was performed. The amount
paid for surveys during the last three
months amounts to $16S.00. Doubtless
the bills are all correct and the
amount may not be excessive, yet it
appears that there should be some
plan whereby number of sidewalks
could be surveyed under one date,
and not survey a half day at one time
and half day at another. This sys-
tenn would certainly be a saving to the
city and much more satisfactory to
the surveyor.
