T|PPLERs MUST POSSESS
LICENSE To BUY A DRINK
Singular Local Option" Measure Be-
fore the Washington Legislature.

Liquor drinkers in the State of Wash
ington will be forced to carry licenses.
embelished with their photograph and
other data of identification and any one
will be permitted to engage in the traf-
fic without the payment of fees. if the
measure framed by Elmer E. Hall, of
Spokane, and fathered by State Sena-
tor Whitney of Spokane county. is
adopted by the legislature, now in SEES
sion at Olympia. The purpose is to
revolutionize the existing saloon system
and settle the liquor question.
Licenses to drink anything stronger
than ginger, pop and the various other
''stickless" connections, will cost S.
year. There is no sliding scale. The
ragged individual with battered dime
and camel's neck thirst will then oc-
cupy the same status as a sudden made
millionaire with fondness for the crys-
tai bubbles rising on the juice of the
grape. The licenses will be non-trans-
ferable and will permit the holder to
buy drinks only from dispensers in the
county where the permit is issued.
With the view to encouraging tenn
perance it is provided also that the
penalty upon conviction for intoxication
shall be forfeiture of the license for
period ranging from 80 to 60 days, at
the discretion of the trial Judge, and
that the license shall be declared per-
manently forfeited upon the second con-
viction. Similar penalties are provided
for selling liquor to any one not possess
ing a permit or to intoxicated persons
with permits.
Senator Whitney says there is a
strong sentiment in favor of such law;
''and' he adds, 'there is chance tor
its passage during the present session
if the local option fight does not crowd
it off the calendar

Directoire Neck Ruches.

Directoire frills falling over the
tops of the high, close collars have
prepared us for the directoire neck
ruches of this autumn, and indeed the
last spring and summer saw a few of
these same models in ruches, though
they We're but little worn on this side
of the ocean.
The most striking characteristics of
these novelties are their height and
the closeness with which they clasp
the throat That they will not be
generally becoming is a foregone con.
clusion but women will ignore that
fact in their pursuit of the new and
the chic, and the shapes which are
now being shown in neck ruches on
collars for early autumn wear will
find echoes in the fur collars Of the
later season.

THE PRESIDENTS PLANS FOR THE
FUTURE.

1t leaks out through various channels
that at the dinner of the New York
delegation the other evening President
Roosevelt delivered one of the most in
teresting speeches he has made in
years. He talked about his own ideas
of the future of an ex-President-of one
ex-President at least.
The President assured his hearers
that he is going, in the first place, to
take care of himself, to earn a living,
and to continue citizen deeply inter-
ested in the course of public affairs,
and determined to forward his views of
them by every political and other
means possible. He will write and
speak and take part in the regular
procedure of politics. He asks no ia
vors and no odds. He will go back to
his home on Long Island and associate
himself with the other men in the
ranks of the States politics. He
doesn't want any especial consideration
because of what he has been or has
done. He simply wants to take his
place like any other man, to do his
share, and be allowed the privilege of
doing and thinking and fighting for
what he believes to be the right thing.
The Presidents announcement, to-
gether with very effective discussion
of his ideals of public service, was
cheered repeatedly. 1t cannot be said
that there is much in it to occasion sur
prise. 1t would be impossible for a
man with his temperament and his ex-
perence to retire suddenly from an
active partI in affairs. None the less,
it is certain tol arouse the liveliest in
terest to have the Presidents own as
surance:that neither literature nor any
thing else is to lead him away from
the activities of very direct relation
to public affairs. He will be a unique

NEW GOOD ROADS IDEA.

In view of the fact that Maryland is
about to begin the expenditure of
$4,000, 900 on the building and improve
ment of its highways it would be well
to look into the suggestion made by D i.
Ward King in a recent address to a
gathering of good roads enthusiasts in
Pittsburg in which he pointed out a
simple and inexpensive method of i'm
proving highways where it is mex
pedient to give them macadam sur
face.
Mr.. Kings scheme has the indorse-
ment not only of the Automobile Club
of America, but of state and federal
authorities, and the value of his sug-
gestions is emphasized by the fact that
his advocacy of good roads is dictated
by no selfish motive. He is doing mis-
sionary work and the results are al
ready apparent in different parts of the
country. The device of Mr.. Kings in
vention can be made by any person in a
short time. It's simple form of drag
which soon puts the worst road into
fair condition. Although the greatest
benefit from good roads accrues to the
farmer, the Automobile Club of Amer
lea offers to pay to every person who
constructs a King road drag and uses
it once, the sum of S., which more
than covers its cost. The idea is that
once the advantages of the device have
been demonstrated. it will be kept In
use.
The Pittsburg Times, speak
ing in favor of Mr.. Kings plan, says:
In Allegheny county, it is stated. out
of l,700 miles of public roads, but 300
miles are improved. Some day, it is
hoped, all these roads will be macadam,
but it is too long to wait. In the
meantime any plan for making present
roads passable and so shaped as to shed
water readily, will be heartily well
coined
Automobiles are already taking an
important part in the movement for
good roads and they deserve substan-
tial support. America has admittedly
been backward in this respect, but it
should be remembered that, unlike Eng
land and France, we have not been able
to profit by the example of the ancient
load-builders. The stretches of road
are also greater than in other countries.
1t is encouraging to learn that Mr..
King has made many converts to his
theory in this vicinity and that the prac-
teal plan he suggests will soon be put
into extensive operation. A scheme
that has proved so advantageous else
where should be equally effective in
Western Pennsylvania

Don't Use Pins.

Girls, if you wish to be dainty about
your fancy work, discard pins, which
invariably leave an imprint in delicate
fabrics, and use instead wax tipped
needles. Such needles cannot be
bought, but are quickly made at home
by dipping the eye ends of fine
needles in melted wax, thus giving
them tiny heads. AS an evening
pastime dozens can be prepared in
this way, using one color or different
colors of wax if the maker likes arts
tic variety. The girl who once uses
these dainty needles for pinning her
fine work will never be willing to re
sort to ordinary pins.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY A, LOG.
UTILIZATION OF WATER POWER
FOR ELECTRIC PURPOSES IN
THE COUNTRY.

Brief mention has been made of an
enterprise in Washington county which
may have a marked effect upon condi-
tons in that section and which suggests
what may be done in other rural COM
munities. Some years ago one of the
old stone grist mills along Antietam
creek was burned, and, although there
was a fine water power, the mill was
not rebuilt and the dam across the
stream was washed away. Recently
three citizens of the community, two
of them farmers and the other an cleo
trical engineer, bought the mill site,
with several dwelling houses, for a
small sum and erected an electric power
plant. The energy developed by the
stream is about $50 horsepower. Two
turbine wheels were installed and a
large quantity of copper wire was pur-
chased at low price. The cost of the
entire plant, including the wire and the
site and the water power, was not much
over $15, ZOO, the work of construction
being done by the three partners.
There was no difficulty in making a
contract for lighting the town of Boons-
boro, for which the sum of $500 year
is received, and similar contracts with
Keedysville and Sharpsburg are said to
be almost assured. The cost of running
the dynamos is so insignificant that the
firm can afford to supply electric lights
fol- the residences and stores in Boons-
boro at rate far below the usual price,
and it is.reported that many orders for
lights are being received.
1t has also been suggested that the
owners of this electric plant will be
able to supply lights and motors to the
barns and farmhouses of the vicinity.
Every farm needs motor for pumping
water. At the present time this work
is done by windmills. But the first cost
of wind wheel and tower is consider
able and the cost of maintaining them
is also large. There are many other

farm. Nor is the matter of electric
lights in barns and stables an unimpor-
tant consideration. 1t will be recalled
that the great fire in Chicago was
caused by COW kicking a lantern over
in the stable bedding. That thing is
liable to happen in any stable Lanterns
are used at milking time in the winter
both morning and evening, and doubt
less much property is destroyed by
them. Moreover, when the farmer
comes home with his team on a winter
evening it would be great comfort to
be able to light his stable by touching
button.
All through the uplands of Maryland
there is enormous water power going to
waste. If the various streams could be
harnessed so as to run neighborhood
electric plants, which would supply
cheap light and power to the communi-
ty, it would work great change and
improvement in the State. AS farm
labor becomes more expensive and more
difficult to secure the electric motor
would come more and more into use to
take the place of laborers. And as the
science of electricity becomes better
understood the waterfalls may supply
the homes with heat and thus help to
conserve the coal supply for a while
longer.
