MAY PASS HOUSE.

The House Wednesday assigned re-
submission and the bill abolishing the
State liquor agency system for debate
on Thursday. II is generally believed
that resubmiSsion will pass the House
although doubts are expressed in GER
tain quaE' rs as to whether the neces-
sary two-thirds vote OF members
present and voting will be- forthcoming
for the measure
Representative Hedman of New
Sweden has never qualified and his
absence, with the death of Representa-
tive Miller of Palmyra. will leave but
li9 mcmbcrs of the House TO vote
upon the question if all others are
present. There are now ST Demo-
Gratis in the House and it will require
"A Republican votes ta pass the meas
urc if all are present. The Democrats
claim that they have pledges from all
o. the members of the party that they
will vote Tor reSubmisSion, in spite "
the fact that it has been intimatsd
that two members from Pisca tFluiS
county viii not vote Tor the MEASURE.
While the Democrats have @nsed the
party whip freely there has been no
effort in the Republican caucus"s to
c0erce members of that party who
were Favorable To resubmiSsion into
voting against it,
The Pattangall order has had one
more amendment offered 10 it in the
House. the last amendmont being put
in Wednesday morning by its author
and authorizing the committee to

DEMOCRATIC LIQUOR ACT.
Oliver Otis OF Rockland Presents
Measure with Unique Features.

Tho Democrats in both branches Of
the Legislature have devoted their
energies to repeating existing laws
without presenting any new legislation
in lieu of them, but now comes Repre-
sentative Oliver otis of Roekland with
Il liquor act which he calculates will
make everyone sit mp and take notice.
Il believe that il is an ideal liquor law.
for ii will enforce itself automatical-
ly." declares the gentleman from
Rocllland 1T puts the damage caused
By the sale Of liquor where it belongs
upon the dealer himself and will make
the liquor seller Il better enforeer nt
the law than ShoriffS or enforcement
deputies"
The otis liquor act is a sort of
agency proposition but radically diff
fcrent and much broader in its scope
than the present agency system which
il is claimed by the Democrats IS so
bad that it must be abolished forth
with. 1t also provides for the repeal
of all liquor laws in the Revised stat
uteS and Public Laws of the state, and
as its sponsor says. Takes every
thing with the smell of rum in out of
the present laws and makes this
peculiar agency system the liquor law
of the State. But one penalty is pro-
Vidcd for its infractions. six months in
iail with hard labor.
The text of the Otis law is as fol-
lows;
Section 1.-The manufacture Of in
toXicating liquors and the sale and
keeping for sale thereof, except for
medicinal and mechanical purposes
are hereby prohibited. The penalty for
such violation of this provision shall
he six months imprisonment in the
county Jail at hard labor
! Section 2-Regulation for the sale
and keeping for sale of such liquors
for medicinal and mechanical pur-
poses and the arts shall be as follows:
4 A-The municipal officers of the
several cities. towns and plantations OF
the state, shall annually on the first
Monday in May, designate certain
persons to sell intoxicating liquors fol
the purposes named. after application
by said person or persons, which shall
be filled at least one week prior tc
said appointment, and after said
municipal officers shall have made due
l investigations and shall be satisfied
that appiieantI or applicants Are OF

LETTERS TO THE EDIToa
Direct Safety to the Public. ;.


Mr.. Editor: In reading your edi-
torial of recent date. it reminds me
that our legislature frequently passes
laws to protect our health and safety !;
but | fail to recall any they have
passed that protects the health or
safety of the drug clerk who is work
ing from twelve to fifteen hours day,
which, if such a law was passed, would
be a direct safety to the public as
much, or more than any law they have
passed.
There is bill before our present
legislature in favor of a ten-hour day
for them, which the state association
claims is being opposed by the clerks,
Is 1t to be supposed for moment that
any employees in any kind of labor
would oppose a law that would give
them such q privilege? especially when
they are working the hours and days
a week that they are? Is it reasona-
BILE? Is it consistent? In plain Eng
lish-is it commonsense?
They also say it means less pay for
them 1t is a known fact among the
profession that only about ten pei
cent. of the young men who enter the
business remain in it long enough ia
learn it, The other ninety per cent
get out and into other and more at
tractive business where there is better
pay and shorter hours. Would it be
wise for the proprietor to attempt t.
reduce the pay of his clerks wheI
they are clamoring about the scarcity
of them in the state and more SO il
other states; and thereby drive tht
other ten per cent. out of the bust
ness.
To talk shorter hours would b.
more inducement for a young man t.
enter the business. and . better ar.
gument than to say that because IT
worked harder than any other drus
clerk in town for a dozen or hfteeI
years and 1t did not kill me, dom
think it win kill the rest of them.

THE MOVING PICTURE BUSINESS

The moving picture business has en-
circled the globe and is the popular
and enlighteHing entertainment of all
countries. Like the presence Of the
phonograph in Africa and in China and
India. it is even in these countries as
a symbol of American genius and
goth century progress.
In no country on either side of the
water has the moving picture show
had such tremendous success as in
England. 1t was less than three years
ago that they began there, and today
England is said to have over 1000
cinematograph theaters. with $50 in
London alone, representing, all told, an
investment of s1e,0o0.oo0. The largest
return is said to be in the little house
near Piccadilly circus. the very heart
of fashionable London, with seating
capacity of less than 800 and q profit
of $4,000 year. The cost OF fittins
up the theater is about 100000.
The sensational film Is more in de-
mand than the educational and the
success Of these shows in England and
elsewhere is attributed to Aims dis
playing wild American life.
