king EDWARD
OPENS PARLIAMENT.
Promises to be the Most
Important Session Since
the Campbell Bannermdn
Ministry Came into Of
flee.
The Sovereign Himself Read the
Speech From the Throne to
the Assembled Lords and
Commons in the Up
per Chamber.
Especial to THE ARGUs.)

London, Jan. 29-The third, and
ant session of Parliament since the
Campbell Bannerman ministry came
into office, was opened this afternoon
by King Edward with all h historic
pageantry which has marked the cere-
mOny since his accession. The SOW
ereign himself read the speech from the
throne to the assembled Lords and
Commons in the upper chamber. King
Edward and Queen Alexander entered
the House of Lords and occupied their
thrones, beneath a canopy, with the
Prince and Princess of Wales on either
side of them. In the state journey to
and from Westminster their Majesties
were loudly cheered by the populace.
The King and Queen rode in the gold
en- state coach, with a brilliant escort
of Life Guards.
There is every indication hat the
session will be a critical one for the
party in power. Seldom in, recent
years have SO many questions of vital
Importance been scheduled for con-
sideration and action. While Irish
affairs are expected to occupy the fore
most on the programme. the session
will be called upon to grapple with an
unusually large number of other prob
lens of great Importance. The activity
and influence of the temperance party
max imperative some sort of a dras-
tic licensing measure. The new meas
ure, if passed, will bring about a con-
dition approaching local option. The
liquor interests throughout the king
dom have already organized to fight
the measure.
Another attempt will probably be
made to amend the education act,
around which such a bitter fight ragged
in the last session. Other important
matters expected to receive attention
include old-age pensions, which will
go through if the different factions can
agree on the details of the plan; a bill
establishing a new port authority tor
London, with power to collect all dues
and erect new docks; the reintroduc-
ton of the Scottish land valuation and
land bills; a new English land valua-
ton bill; a cas- establishing eight
hours as the legal working time in all
mines; and a lot of housing and other
reform measures looking to the COM
fort and health OF the poorer residents
in large cities.

bring out a large crowd.
Mr.. Holloway, the proprietor, is
striving to give the skating public a
good time and well deserves the pat
ronage he is receiving.

skaters having the best "make up" of
the character which they represent.
The use of the foor for those having
their own skates will be ten cents.
Skates to rent fifteen cents. Ad-

AS A Mural AGENCY.
How Prohibition is Working in Two
POpulOuS Cities That Recently
Adopted Ii.

Birmingham (Ala.) News.
That is a remarkable statement COM
ing from Atlanta to the effect that for
the first time in the memory ofthe old
est policeman, the Jail in that city yes
terday did not hold a single prisoner.
1t was a new record. While people OK
pected the discontinuance of the liquor
traffic to largely remove disregard for
law and order in Atlanta. as we'll as in
other cities, few looked for such a rec
ord as this in a city with over 100 GOO
inhabitants. It speaks we'll tor the
moral effect of prohibition.
Here in Birmingham the moral i'm
provement has been marked since pro-
hibition went into effect. The news
papers are no longer giving space to
reports of murders, shooting and cut
ting scrapes. personal alterations and
other disorders, as they formerly did,
for the reason that the regard for law
and order in this community is very
much more in evidence since the re-
moval Of the whiskey traffic.
For ten years Birmingham has not
enjoyed SO orderly a period as it has
since the first Of January. So far pro-
bibition in this community has proven
a powerful agency in h betterment OF
the public morals. The prohibition law
is being largely observed and almost
entirely SO by what is known as the
reputable element. It has reduced the
criminal record of this community in
a striking degree.
