Attitude of Certain Officials.

DR.. Beverly Warner, the most
out-spoken and fearless minis
ter in New Orleans on civic ques-
tons has sounded the alarm with
regard to the hostile attitude not
only of saloon people but of the
officials towards the Gay-Shat-
tuck law. He thinks there will
be no real effort made to enforce
the provisions of the law as they
affect New Orleans.
This inference is shared by all
who observed the reception that
Attorney General Guion's inter
probation of that law met with at
the hands of City Attorney Gil
more and other officials both in
New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
These latter-named men loud
ly inveighed against the retro
active" construction upon the
law, when in point of fact, as
Judge Guion rightly held, and
which even a tyro could see upon
simply reading the law, was that
saloons have existence only from
year to year by grace of the peo-
pie. No saloon can consider it.
self established since the
same legal application must be
made yearly, and passed upon
by local governing bodies. Mr..
Gilmore showed equal hostility
to Judge Guion's measurement
of the 300 feet Of distance re-
quired between saloons and
churches, or saloons and schools
for children. His arguments are
all in favor of the saloon men.
This is amazing to people old
fashioned enough to suppose that
district attorneys are employed
to see that the law is enforced,
not to belittle and argue against
| it's provisions. Attorneys for
the defense can do enough of
that.
It is this decided tone OF GER
tain officials however, that gives
DR.. Warner and others serious
cause for concern. The Cay
Shattuck law, if enforced, is adj
mirable to keep the liquor bust
ness within bounds, and to salts
fy the demands of conservative
people.
The city papers that say that
prohibition is On the wane evil
IDENTIFY utter a wish that is father
to the thought. Though not q
prohibitionist, and therefore
looking at the question from the
outside, it seems that prohibition
has assumed a waiting attitude
to see what the new liquor law
will accomplish for good; t.
give it at least a chance for fail
ure. The wise among salooI
people will not work to prove tn
law a failure, lest PROHIBITION
rise in it's might, like a lion wax
| ing from a brief sleep.

Suffering Was Terrible Soon
Entirely Cured by cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to a doctor who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as II
they were going to fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months We tried
q set Of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let him sleep and
rest well; in one week the sores were
gone and in two months he had a clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis
