MANS LEGAL RIGHT TO STARE.
According to New York Judge a
Second Look at a Pretty Woman Is
Permissible.

or course, a man ought never to
stare; but the law, the New York law
at least, gives a man the right to a
second look. The decision was rem
dered by a learned and discriminate
ing judge in one of our suburbs last
Spring.

remarkably pretty wife. A stranger
in the seat ahead glanced back, liked
what he saw, and a little later look
ed again; sensitive husband punched
him, and then had him arrested; but
the judge, when he saw the wife,
quickly decided that any man was
entitled to two looks at such a wo-
man.
You may be familiar with tl.4 ol5
story Of the mons party where the

of husbands, when he got home, was
innocently telling his wife about il

parently had not anticipated a per-

guilelessly: "Of course not Mary.

We suggest that all prohibitionists
read the letter from our Smithville
correspondent which we print today.
This letter demonstrates clearly and
forcibly how the views of a sincere
prohibitionist have been changed by
practical experience. Our Smithville
correspondent was and still Is a sin
cere prohibitionist and ardently ad
vocated the abolition of the dispen-
sary, believing that the enactment Of
n prohibition law would decrease
drunkenness and make for the bet
terment OF the country both morally
and financially. What the results
have been I'm the rural districts
are set forth I'm this letter. Hav-
ing seen the evil effects Of so-called
prohibition. our correspondent frank
ly confesses former error and tells
As much as we regret the deplorable
conditions described. we are not sur
prised; I'm fact we predicted just what
has happened. and while we find no
satisfaction in the fact that time has
vindicated our judgment. we fear
that worse is still TO come. for the
spirit OF lawlessness that has been
developed by the ease and safety
with which the prohibition law has
been violated will be hard to eradi-
cate. The re-establishment OF the
dispensary law would not be follow
ed Immediately by improved condi-
tions In the rural districts. Those
who have been ordering LIQUOR and
selling II would continue the practice
for as long a time as IL remained
profitable and measurably safe.
Where prohibition Is not supported
by q strong public sentiment It
breeds race OF law-breakers and
hypocrites. who from disregarding
and violating one law proceed by
easy stages from bad to worse un-
eli they hold all law In contempt and
yield respect and obedience TO force
only.
Mr.. r. II. Belser's speech at the
good roads meeting Tuesday has been
highly praised by number OF
thoughtful citizens who have read IL
with care. II was not a hap-hazard
production. composed OF about equal
parts OF hot air and impractical the
ory but a well digested and business
like plan. that, II adopted. will pro-
vide complete system OF improved
highways for Sumter county at the
minimum cost and without imposing
a burdensome tax upon the property
owners. Mr.. Belser has worked out
the plan. and II the people Will adopt
II the road problem will be solved for
Sumter county.
When personalities ara eliminated
from the State campaign meetings
all the spice and variety of the
dreary proceeding Will be gone. But
n the elimination of personalities
will lead TO the abandonment OF the
Statewide. one day stand. circus plan
Of campaign II will be endorsed by
great many people.
