THE REFORMED SALOON

The Union Signal
The following terse comment on an
organized effort to reform the saloon
is quoted from a Chicago daily paper.
When is a saloon not saloon?
When Is 1t necessity?
Illinois State Liquor Dealers.
The annual convention Of the Illi-
nois State Liquor Dealers resolved
itself into a reform meeting and in
stead of attempting, as might be ex-
pected, to reform the reformers, the
members set about reforming the sa-
looms.
A few commandments" were
drawn up, and an effort is to be made
to put them through. The liquor
dealers hope to move the saloon from
the circle OF evil to that Of necessity.
This is. to be done by eliminating
| the GROWER and Christmas pres
emit evils at the outset. Another step
will be to cultivate the love and re-
spect Of their neighbors.
Here are some of the items In the
new code Of ethics:
TO prohibit serving OF drinks to
any woman to be drunk at a public
bar.
TO prevent gambling for money in
any and all forms upon the premises
| TO conduct place of business Sc
that the neighbors will feel 1t ne
cissity, instead Of hindrance, and
to respect the wishes of the neigh
bors in every possible way.
1 To discontinue the promiscnous
giving of Christmas presents in any
form whatever.
TO stop the sale Of five-cent grow
lers and limit the sale of beer in
buckets to residents of the immedi'
ate neighborhood.
To exclude from all saloons anG
public bars all improper pictures anG
cards and discourage the use of i'm
| proper pictures or labels for adver
4 Using purposes by makers of or deal
| ers in liquors, cigars, and cigarets.
Although the direct charge was mo-
made, one joker declared the liquor
interests were trying to beat EN- tt
it," referring to the prohibitionists
The attention of the Illinois Liquor
/ Dealers should be directed to the con
spicuous failure Of certain reform
ed saloons, even when directed un
1 der the auspices of ecclesiastical dig
nitaries. Drink becomes a necessit.
| only after appetite has been created
Remove the enticements that lure tt
| the creation of appetite, and the bev
n erage traffic in intoxicants will ceas'
to exist for lack of demand. The re
formed saloon will serve the caus'
\ of total abstinence by demonstrating
it's own abnormality.

WHAT LITERATURE DOES.

Swedes and Dutch together, a flag
other than England's was on the Della
ware almost as long as on the Hudson.
Spain was in Florida century and
half longer.
Yet Swede and Dutch here and
Spanish in Florida are shadowy by
the burghers of New Amsterdam and
its Dutch governors. They did little.
The colony was small When you
turn to- the original records almost
nothing is there tangible and sub
stantial
But 1t is real, living and known.
Nothing Is more visible to all Ameri-
cans than the life of New Amsterdam.
Washington Irving did 1t. just as Ho-
mer did more to make Troy real and
the Trojan war substantial than Ach-
lilies and Hector rolled together and
all the mighty men of war marshaled
In their embattled host
This literature does. Take away
Diedrick Knickerbockers History
of New York and all that was ever
under the flag Of Holland on Man
haitian Island becomes an insubstan-
tial dream. mere annals that have no
flesh and blood. Add Irving's- magic
touch and these things live and move
and have their being more real than
history itself. and more lasting than
monuments of brass. IL men thrill
to Hudsons memory this week, If
the Dutch occupation looms large. II
Wouter Van Twiller and the rest live
again, 1t is the work Of the printed
page and the enchanted wand of i'm
agination that calls these shadows
from the deep. where else would they
slumber.
In all our education, and our
schools often miss here, 1t is more
important to awake this sense by the
reading of the vital picture-creating
books than to do all else in the mere
world of empty fact and leave men
and women empty of the sense for
and of literature Kingston, IN. Y.)

WATCHING CLOSELY

Advocates of equal suffrage in all
parts of the country are watching the
contest about to be waged In Wash
ington state by women for the bali
lot. A constitutional amendment
granting suffrage to women: will be
submitted to the voters of the Ever
green state at the. general election In
1910. To be ready for this express
sion, suffragists in all parts Of the
state are beginning to build their
fences. The organization is to be
extended down to the individual vot-
ing precincts, each one in charge Of
"a chairman The selections are now
under way. Ample funds will be on
hand to prosecute a thorough canvass
and campaign. The differences which
cropped out at the last state meeting
have been smoother over. SO that now
the suffragists are working as har-
monious whole. with great hopes for
success.

A BORN LEADER

A stirring story of leadership
comes from that part of Turkey
which has suffered most from the rec
ent massacres. The situation seem
ed perfectly hopeless. Thousands still
have to be fed from charitable funds,
and are wearing the clothing they
had on when they fed from fire and
sword last April. Multitudes still
sleep on the ground, with scarcely
any covering, and winter is close at
hand. Nearly $4,000 have been ex-
pended in buying tools to set artis-
ans at work again, but the applica-
lions are endless. An American
board missionary, Rev. w. N. Cham
bers, has been placed at the head of
the relief work as the successor Of
Major Doughty-Wylie. Writing from
Adana he says: AT this moment, in
the early morning, there are about
500 men in our yard waiting in the
hope that their names may get into
the list for money for tools. 1t is
pathetically pitiable to see able-bod-
led men, formerly prosperous, break
down sobbing when told that their
names cannot appear. The discour-
aging feature was that the local gov
eminent did virtually nothing, and
the people were fast sinking into dis
pair
At this point masterful young
Turkish officer, less than forty years
old, appeared on the scene and the
whole situation was changed. He ar
rived at Adana Thursday evening and
within "a hours had government re-
lief work reorganized on radical lines.
BY Monday evening he had inaugu-
rated the only effective reconstruction
movement set in motion since the ter
rible month of April. He fairly
trampled on few strong prejudices.
He organized Relief Commission of
23 persons, only three of whom be-
sides himself were Moslems, and six
of whom were foreigners. With this
commission he made arrangements
| for the administration of over $780,
| 900 and secured it's honest and effec-
tive handling by making the Imper-
| ial Ottoman Bank the custodian of
| the money, with financial commit
tee composed of himself and two for
eigners.
| All this was like cooling, life
giving breeze from the sea to thirsty
souls on the scorching sands. Hope
revived and confidence grew apace
| With marvellous instinct this man Is
| gathering about himself men of seri
Gus mind, both Moslems and Christ
ians, and uniting them in common
cause. Mr.. Chambers says of him:
"He is the first Turkish official ] nave
met in thirty years of service in this
country with whom find it real
| pleasure to work. Taking him as 6
representative of the Macedonian
Young Turk can easily conceive how
the revolution of year ago became
| possible. The other day he entered
his office at o'clock in the morning
and left it at 1880 in the evening"
The Constantinople government
has given credit for $1,300,000 One
third of this is for feeding and re-
housing the destitute, one-third To-
helping small farmers in the way O.
loan onethird for loans to business
j aud large farmers. As in China, af
ter the Boxer uprising, American mil
siOnaries have been asked to hell
formulate scheme of national edu
cation modelled on Western ideas. A
last a new day seems to have dawnet

in conflict with Sec. 95 Organic Act,
declaring the fisheries in the sea wa
ters of the Territory not included in
any fish pond or artificial enclosure
free to all citizens of the United
States, or under Sec. 55 prohibiting
the granting of special privileges or
immunities, or because it is discrim-
inatory class legislation or unreason-
ably classifies boats required to be
licensed or prohibits a useful occu-
patton or denies equal and uniform
protection of the law, although at the
date of the act native Hawaiian out
rigger canoes with beam of less
than 80 inches had mainly been re-
placed in fishing for profit with Jap
anese boats with a beam of 80 in
ches or more, since the act applies
to all who use such boats for profit.

To COMBINE
CIVIC CLUBS

there are certain interests of the va
rious institutions that would hardly
harmonize in one great organization,
and that better work can be accom-
plished separately.
However, the matter has been start
ed and there will be meeting of the
Merchants Association this after
noon at which the subject will prob
ably be brought up for general dis
cussion.
The idea of the Chamber of Com
merce is to realize its long desired
building, which once acquired under
the combine schema would be rented
in sections to the various branches
of the combine which are now inde.
pendent as the Merchants Associa.
ton, the Chamber Of Cmmerce, the
Promotion Committee and the Com
mercial Club.

At the request Of j. F. Morgan, now
absent on the coast, Fred Macfarlane
at meeting today brought to the
attention of the board of governors
of the Commercial Club the sugges-
ton that the Commercial Club, the
Chamber of Commerce, the Mer-
chants Association and the Hawaii
Promotion Committee form a great
combine, pooling their interests and
running all concerns as one.
The idea was thus advanced as
preliminary to -nore serious discus
sion by the Chamber of Commerce
upon the return of Morgan.
There is already considerable op-
position to the scheme, certain lead
ing business men declaring that while
it is not bad idea from the stand

Shortly following it's decision find
ing the law not unconstitutional under
which laundries are required to pay a
license fee, the Supreme Court today
affirmed the decision of Judge De Bolt
which held the law imposing license
fee on fishing boats having a beam of
thirty inches or more to be con-
stitutional and valid. Chief JUS
tice Hartwell is author of the opinion,
which overruIes exceptions to the con-
viction and fining of Matsubara $5 and
costs for operating such a boat with
out a license. Deputy County Attorney
Milverton had argued the case for the
Territory, and R. P. Quarles for the
defendant. The syllabus of opinion
