Bills have been introduced in con-

winter-providing for the issuance Of

against the raising of taxes in violr
ton of the police powers of the state.
The language of the ACES of 1894 and
Aug. 2, 1878. was as follows:
provided always. that no license
shall be granted to any person TO sell
wines or foreign distilled spirits who
is prohibited to sell the same by tn"

This bill does not pretend to in.

who has the right to engage in the

Hu1nOr and
Philosophy
PICKS 1T FROM THE AIR.
By DUNCAN n. Smith

The hero Of fiction,
That lovable chap. =
At times though quite worried. :
Has more than a snap.
Though misunderstanding
Around him expand,
He never Is bothered
For money In hand.
When duty is calling
He seizes his grip
And starts in the night
On a world trotting trip.
On one minute notice
He turns like crank
And flies, waiting not q
Till they open the bank.
His terrible troubles
Are ones of the heart
And forcing the villain
In wrath to depart.
Finances are never
The slightest concern.
He always has money
Around him to burn.
He cannot be bothered
With trifling affairs.
For dollars are always
The least of his cares.
He lives in a world
Where there's nothing to show
That cash is essential
To make the wheels 60.

WHEN A MAN GOES OUT

He doesn't understand why there are
never any towels on the towel rack
and where in the nation they keep
their towels. They seem always to
be hiding away the things apperta!n-
ing to the comfort of the house, and q
man never can find them.
Who in creation has been using his
razor and what for? 1t is pity that
mans own private utensils are to be
made free with by everybody in the
house who happens to be in need Of
the services of chiropodist.
Where are his socks? 1t beats all
that mans wife can't ever put things
where man can find them. He
searches in. every conceivable out Of
the way place while his socks quietly
emit chuckle from their accustomed
place directly under his hand.
Why under the sun will his wife lei
little BesS get into his drawers and use
mis- ueckties for doh sashes? And
where are his cuff links? Things have
come to such pass nowadays that a
man needs to get Lloyd's to insure
him against absolute restitution In the
matter of having any clothes. 50 out
rageous have become the depredations
Of the members of hisNown family.

Change i'm Status of the Church in
America and Illness of Pope
Aid i'm Delay.

Washington, May S.-No news has
been received at the apostolic deleSa-
Ition concerning a successor to Bishop
Spalding in Peoria. 1t is explained
that the work of appointing bishops In
this country is almost three months
behind the schedule time, and that so
crowded is the docket that little hope
| is entertained of hearing anything
definite before the end of June.
Since the American church passed
| from the control of the propaganda
| fide to the status of economically gov
erned hierarchy it must take its turn
with the remainder of the Catholic
world. 1t is also pointed out that the
| illness of the pope and the Interrupt
| ton attending the concentrations have
also delayed consideration of Ameri-
can bishops.
| DUNES Name Mentioned.
The name of Rev. Edward Dunno is
still prominently mentioned for the
place, though absolutely no news re-
garding his chances or that of the
other two candidates named has reach,
ed Washington.

Mr.. Bryan'S recommendation is at
tracing the attention of the lawmak-
ers because his proposition is a mat
ter of great moment to them. They
do not want public opinion focused at
the evil, owing to the fact they are
hostile to any legislation that will cor
rect it. and do not desire to have their
attitude become a matter of public
discussion.
The condition brought into the light
by Bryan is one that the average per
son would not believe existed. Al
though the matter has been before
congress on several occasions. the pub
lie has heard but little or the debates
owing to the fact that subjects involv.
| ing the question of prohibition receives
| but little attention from the great
lpress associations.
The real point at issue. however
really has nothing to do with prohibi
ton. The principle involved is wheth
er the government should aid enter
prises in states where they are made
unlawful by state laws.
