THE SHATTUCK BILL.

At the time the Shattuck bill was before
the House and Senate, both the prohibition
and the liquor people had ample opportunity
to discuss every clause of it's provisions and
to revise every sentence that was not per-
fectly explicit; yet it seems, now the law is
about to become operative, that it's provisions
are clothed in such language as to be uncer-
tain and subject to contradictory under
standing by eminent legal minds.
While Attorney General Guion interprets
the law to mean that the 300 feet within
which a barroom is prohibited from being in
proximity to a school house or church build
ing is in direct or air line, City Attorney
Gilmore of New Orleans is of the contrary
I opinion that it means in due course OF travel
upon the streets.
Attorney General Guion is also Of the
opinion that section eight is retroactive and
applies to saloons already in existence as
well as to applicants for license for new bar
rooms
1t is unfortunate that law of such i'm
portance and so directly affecting business
interests should not be perfectly clear IN It's
provisions If City Attorney Gilmore is in
correct in his Interpretation of the law, then
some of New Orleans most prominent bar
IUOIIlS, Ill 1lOGGlS dllu OC1IC1 w III
be compelled to close or seek other locations.
If the law is to have a retroactive effect,
probably much litigation will arise from
leaseholding that have long terms to run. 1t
is to be hoped the bitter fight that was
made in the passage of the bill in the legis-
lature is not to be gone over again in the
courts.
While the law was intended to drive out
of business those saloons which were most
demoralizing to society, in many instances it
will accomplish the reverse.
The opinion of Town Attorney Richard
was published in last weeks Farmer and
was concurred in by, District Attorney Elect
Morgan. He agrees with Attorney Gilmore
as to the measurement of the 300 feet, and
with Attorney General Guion as to the retro
active, effect of the law.
It was not expected that the law would go
into effect without putting some saloons out
of business The bill was passed as a com
promise measure. At the time it was before
the legislature both the prohibitionists and
the LIQUOR men marshaled all their strength,
and it was conceded that either the liquor
men would have to make some concessions
or ultimately yield to Statewide prohibition.
The result was the Shattuck bill. ltnoW re-
mains to make the best of it.

than you can afford; but remember, every
little bit helps" The women of Covington
have entered heartily into the scheme in the
nope that they will be able to add to the eff
fectlveness of our fire protection Their
loyalty is deserving of all the encouragement
we can give them. So when you see one
that is about to tag you to-day don't break
your neck trying to get out of the way, but
dive down into your pocket and bring out
your loose change. It is for a good cause,
ana some day may save your property from
being destroyed.
We want to give the women tip that
may help them out. It is said that cigarette
smokers are short-winded. So, if you get

JEFF is ON THE WATER WAGON

Danville, Aug. 24.---Before a crowd
estimated at 1000 persons United
States Senator Jeff Davis today de-
ciared that he was on the water
wagon and that he never intended to
take another drink of intoxicating
liquors. He prefaced this statement
by the declaration that he had not
touched drop of whiskey since last
March.
His speech was of an unusual nature,
being devoid of his characteristic in
diligence in personalities.
