THE SALOON MUST GO.

Kin order to forestall any drastic
Legislation by the Legislature, the
Model license League Of West Vir-
ginia makes certain suggestions,
which If enacted into law, would
greatly improve conditions in those
fcounties where whiskey is yet sold
and probably, postpone statewide
prohibition which is ominously APP
:. preaching.
s 81 1t is not to be understood, how
9eyer,: that the Model License League
lis actuated solely by a desire to i'm
prove conditions, in any community,
but rather, that it is attempting to
5snve the sinking ship. With over
sixty counties in Ohio dry, only five
in Kentucky wholly wet, more than
thalf Of our tifty-four under the lid,
sand both parties pledged to reform
the liquor business, the outlook is
far from favorable to its long con-
7tinuance in this state.
= There is no question of the abOl-
Sishment Of the saloon from the en-
tire state, if constitutional amend
Ynent Is submitted. A local option
law would bring about the same re-
suit. Both these the liquor forces
fear, and one or the other the people
will have or know the reason why.
Silence, the activity of the License
leagues desire ito further regulate
the sale of spurious, vinous and
malt liquors"

{ Negro that his duty is to support
the former. The saloon, our great

have not yet had time to forget
what happened because of their self

we did not profit by that experience.
The trend Of the times is toward
the overthrow of the boss and the
rule of the people. The members Of
the legislature, being the represen-
tatives of the people, will doubtless
enact law making the peoples
sovereignty something more than

PAYING THE Fiddler.

While we sympathiZe with Mr..
Gompers. Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. Nor
risOn, who were recently sentenced
to one year, Bine months and one
month. respectively, for contempt of
court, il is not clear that any other
course was open to Justice Wright
whose duty is to uphold the law.
. The court had issued an intun6-
ton restraining these labor leaders
from the action which they after
ward took. There was no question
of righteness or wrongness of the
court, for appeal could have been
made to higher court; neither was
there ignorance on their part of the
courts injunction for they had pre-
'ionsly threatened to follow their
own bent, regardless Of what the
courts decision might be. Here It
was that these gentlemen made the
mistake. The stability of all gov
ernments depends upon the observ-
ance OF law by the rich and the
poor, capital and labor. Redress
can not be had by disobedience be-
cause one thinks the law bad, and q
general disregard of or contempt for
law would eventually lead to an
archy. 1t is not for a citizen, be his
station. what it may, be he a men,
Der Of a trade union or a trust, to
take the law into his own hands,
and to- say whether deci-
sion of a court is right or wrong.
These gentlemen deliberately took
a chance and lost. They set, their
judgment. up against constituted
authority and are only paying the
penalty Of their ,rashness If they
were not SO prominent very much
less would have been said about the
sentence, but their very prominence
should have acted ;:as a deterrent
and the same Justice should be met
ed to them as to others who set the
law at defiance.

THE PRIMARY LAW.

The demand is becoming so wide
spread and so insistent that it is
hard to see how the legislature can
avoid passing primary law.
y 1t will be recalled that measure
OF this nature was up for consider
9 alton at the last regular session.

opponents had dragged forth NE

brighten the more timid Of it's al

when there would be general regret
that our lawmakers were not broad

JOHNSON, THE CHAMPION.

While Jack Johnson may not be
engaged in the vocation, protest. ion,
calling, or whatever is the proper
term to apply to one who knows
when and how to land the solar
pleXus or the upper cut, that one
would recommend to the youngster
who aspires to write his name in en-
during brass, it is none the less
gratifying to know that Johnson is
the best in his class.
When one considers his tenacity
OF purpose, his acceptance Of the
most humiiating terms, and
patience under very trying circum-
stances. his Christmas day triumph
! is all the more magnificent. He
knew what he wanted, and no obsta,
| c'e was to high, no opposition toe
| strong to bar him from his hearts
desire. True, his ambition was no
that Of the mollycoddle nor can it bt
termed anything other than brutal
pit if one must be brutal why no
