The truckers Of James City are

A Few Plain Words

The Falconer. McMaster local option
bill which the anti.saloon forces have
introduced into the legislature at Olym'
pia, provides that whenever one.fifth
or more of the qualified voters Of any
county, township, city, precinct or part
OF precinct outside VI an incorporated
town or city shall so petition, the ques-
tion whether the territory so covered
by petition shall have or abolish sa'
looms shall be submitted to the voters,
ard the majority vote shall be binding.
1t also provides that the people of
auy political division who may vote to
shut out saloons may, by the same
method, after 4 reasonable trial, vote
to restore them. Nor does It prohibit
the delivery OF alcoholic beverages to
to residents in "dry" territory where
the order for such merchandise has
been placed in "wet" territory.
In brief, the Falconer. McMaster bill
will strike unprejudiced men as the
sort of measure the republican state
convention had in mind when, last May,
it pledged the enactment, by the pres
ent legislature, of "a reasonable local
option law" Nevertheless it has been
referred to unfriepdly committees in
both the house and senate, and If pass

few FACTS ABOUT

On account of its title, it might be
thought by some that "The Parish
Priest,' which is to be pieEanted by
the local lodge of Elks on the 9th of
May, was play which might in
some way reflect upon the religi ous
belief of some people. This is most
emphatioally not the case. While
the central figure of the play is a
priest, no faith or denomination Of
Christianity is at any time men,
toned throughout the piece, and not
one word or action OCCURS that
might in any way be construed as a
reflection upon any religious oreed.
1t is simply pretty little comedy
of pastoral life, with charming
love story running throughout land
