mously voted to hold the celebration on
that date.
All but s35 of $3.50 subscribed toward
defraying the cost of the opening cele-
bration has been paid in. Part of this
money will be used to hire bands and
part to put up posters in the suburban
towns to advertise the celebration.
Contracts for the new flaming arc
system of lighting In Market street
were executed several months ago be-
tween the Market Street Business
Mems Association and the city and be-
tween the city and the Public Service,
after the association had provided the
$4,000 bond required by the city au-
thorities. The new lamps will be at
an altitude of twenty-slx feet above
the curb, seven feet higher than those
in South Broad street
The Market street lights are of the
same general type and of practically
the same candle-power as those in
South Broad street. but are manufac-
tured by a different concern. They
have two flaming arcs In one globe and
each lamp is rated at a candle-power
efficiency of 5000.

CONSUMPTION OF WHISKY

HOLLYWOOD, July 22.-[Editor
Herald: A conscientious critic, w. S.

conditions created by the work of the
Anti-Saloon league. To satisfy friend
Burroughs, I'll say l wasn't travelling

Gets, and 1 do not advocate drenching
with booze those who prefer diet Of

1 urge temperance, and believe in it,
and that is why 1 oppose the rabid re-
forms of the Anti-SGloon league, which
goes back to the oldest of problems, the
one class of people trying to nix upon
another its own peculiar prejudices.
Sumptuary laws have been tried
since the world began, and in every
case have failed. Armies have endeav-
ored to enforce such laws, but-there
is something inherent in human nature
that rebels at such an invasion OF ones
personal liberty.
The Anti-Saloon league cheerfully
publishes a map showing what a large
territory is dry and the credulity of
people who believe is marvellous.
There is no dry territory. The
amount of liquor consumed in this
country is shown in the reports of
Uncle Sans internal revenue depart
ment, which proves that the per capita
consumption of alcoholic liquors is on
the increase, that Notwithstanding the
dry territory we find the same old
thirst which is quenched. How? Boot
leggers, blind tigers. clubs, etc.
The brewers know that less beer is
consumed in prohibition country. The
sale of beer falls off, while the sale of
whisky shows a corresponding in
crease. While in Blackwell, Okla, a
party of friends decided to go on a
fishing trip, and send to Wichita for a
case of beer. 1t arrived safely. The
drummer mentioned would have been A
poor specimen to betray the person or
persons who ran the risk Of imprison-
ment and heavy fine for the paltry
sum of 500, even though such generous
offer came from the mayor.
Brewers would rather sell liquor le-
gally, with a license, than take the
risks they do under these conditions,
but as statistics prove. the Anti-Saloon
league can't call their bluff, so charity
will lose the 100000.

ALLIED TRUSTS

n RESIDENT TAFT of the United
States, and not of the Republican
h party, has disappointed his enc
mics and cheered his friends by an
nouncing his determination to stick to
the policy adopted and defined by the
Republican platform. This platform,
he says, calls for downward revision
and downward revision is a program
that is utterly distasteful to the trusts
and other heavily protected interests.
The attitude of the various interests is
exemplified clearly in the opposition or
the beef trust to everything that VIII
be likely to interfere with its elaborate
control of a market which has many
ramificatlons and is intimately con-
nected with the domestic management
and daily life of the --merican people.
The opposition to putting hides on the
free list was attributable to the fact
that to put hides on the free list would
iniure the beef trust and at the same
time would injure the leather trust.
Incidentally, it would have the result
of making it easier for the poor chill
dren Of New York and Chicago to
protect their feet from frostbite during
the winter months.
Inasmuch as the organization and
the power Of the beef trust are recog-
nized, and the existence Of hide and
leather trust is notorious, it would seem
that free raw materials for shoes and
leather goods will be an excellent meth
cd of assuring the people tariff revis-
ion is being made with a view to bring
ing about the greatest good for the
greatest number, regardless of trusts
or interests. If there is to be any trust
breaking, or, to use the Vernacular,
trust busting" then the proper way
to 20 about it is the drastic and fear
less way. The beef trust and its re-
lated trusts form the biggest example
Of trust conspiracy. 1t is truly ny
dra headed monster" Free raw ma
terials will deliver the leather, leather
goods and shoe making industries of
the United States from the necessity
of submitting to the orders of the pre-
dominant partner in the allied trusts
that act in cooperation with the world
infamous beef trust.

CURE OF CRIMINALS

~ HOULD an experiment that is be-
ing tried in New York prove sue
~ cessful there will be revolution
in methods of dealing with crime and
treating criminals. A magistrate al
lowed an alienist to take charge of an
1S-year-old youth convicted of high
way robbery and accused of being a
chronic bad boy. Curiously enough 1t
was the reputation of the prisoner for
being irredeemably and altogether bad
that saved him from severe punish
ment.
The alienist said he could cure the
lad by hypnotic treatment, and asked
the magistrate to give the case to him
instead of treating a disease as a
crime and making the accused d
hopeless criminal. The alienist is GER
tain he can hypnotic the young man
into a state of chronic goodness, and
can prove so convlncingly that in other
cases besides his it is treatment and
not punishment that is needed if Of
tenders are to get square deal.
Criminologists everywhere are await
ing with keen interest the result of the
experiment.

PUNISHMENT

MAN arrested for burglary lived in
n a house in Los Angeles with his
"A wife and two small children. 1t
has happened over and over again in
the history of burglary that the. pro-
fessional has kept up the appearance
of respectability, has posed as a good
citizen, and has befooled wife, chill
dren relatives, neighbors and friends.
The singular ease with which burg
lar may make of himself a DR.. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde has again been demon
strated.
But, in a case of this kind, it is a
question whether society or the wife Is
the more sinned against by the Of
fender, and there can be no question
whatever as to which is the greater
sufferer. Here is a case where justice
lays hands on the husband and the
disgrace of it falls on the wife and
family, who find themselves suddenly
Inundated and placed in the mortify-
ing position of having lived on the
proceeds of stolen goods.
Wnen HldFIleu Criminal - pun
ished for his crime his wife and family
share his punishment; nay If they are
destitute their punishment may be
more severe than his, because he is al
ways certain OF food and clothing and
medical attendance. Is the state justt-
fed in allowing the dependent wife and
family of a criminal to starve while 1t
compels the man to do penance for
his misdeeds?
Here is a nut to crack. OF course a
criminal should be punished for his
offenses. But is society justified in
furnishing the innocent along with the
guilty? Does the punitive power Of
society extend to the innocent mother?
