Subtle Meaning in Poets Criticism Of

Joaquin Miller the poet of the Sier.

rarely comes into San Francisco, but
when he does he is made a good deal
OF lion. On his last visit he was
one Of the guests at rather formal
dinner at a friends house where he
stayed overnight. His hostess had
known the poet since her childhood
so she felt privileged. next morning, to
discourse to him of the beauties OF
the Partisan gown she had worn the
night before-beauties which seemed
to have escaped his observation.
Mr.. Miller listened to all that she
had to say and remained silent.
But didn't you really like the
dress?" pleaded the lady.
We'll" replied the poet. 81 did like
part OF it well, enough"
The lady frightened.

the poet: and that ended the discus

Michigan still holds second place in

TO A FINISH.
enforcement Of the Liquor Laws Makes
War in Detroit.


Liquor interests in Detroit have
taken up the gage of battle thrown
down by the anti-liquor people and
grim battle is in progress. Notwith-
standing denials of the actually OF
the boycott, which have come from
the committee of 100, there no longer
is any doubt that this weapon has
been called into action, or that 1t
is being used with much effectiveness.
Members OF the committee OF 100 have
lost large sums already from this
cause and the end is not in sight.
The assertion that there is no OFF,
cial boycott is well founded. The So
cieties which represent the saloon men
have not formally taken such step,
but their members, acting by ta0it
agreement, are using their influence
with their customers and their friends
10 cut off trade OF firms whose mem
bers have been selected for the con-
test by the organizers Of the commit
tee.
The fight Is not confined to Detroit,
however. 1t is the belief OF the liquor
men that as Detroit goes so will Michi-
gan go. They are working on the as
sumption that the rest of the state
is watching the result in the me-
tropolis, and that victory here now will
mean better conditions for their trade
elsewhere in Michigan With this in
mind. every effort will be made to
carry the city
On the other hand the committee of
100 is fully determined to have the
laws enforced in Detroit. and its forces
Will meet those OF the liquor men at
every point. From present appear.
ances, the battle will be fought to a
finish.
