Should any other good law be
repealed il it is violated? The law
against gambling is as frequently
violated in the cities as the law
against liquor selling. Should our
gambling laws be repealed?
We have laws against public
prostitution. And yet such houses
flourish unmolested on the busiest
streets of our capital city, these
places are advertised in the pages
of a city daily that boasts of its big
circulation, this vice thus Haunting
itself boldly in the faces of-decent
people. Should this law be re-
pealed?
The only question to be consid-
cred in reference 10 the law, is, is
the thing prohibited wrong? If
it is morally wrong, as we'll as
menace to the we'll being of society,
it should be forbidden by law.
Even if as much liquor is sold
under unenforced prohibition, as
under license (there couldn't be
more, for people get all they want
in either case, it should still be
prohibited. A wise governmental
policy demands that vice should be
prohibited, not licensed, "regu-
lated" and worst of all, protected
by law.
The thing to do is not to repeal
the law, but to enforce it. The
securing ofthe law was but the first
battle won in our war against the
liquor traffic. One battle never
settled the issue of any great war.
Shall wesnrrender the ground now,
because other battles are to be
fought before the victory is final
and complete? Nay, verify. But
we will hold our laws, aud work for
the election of men to Office who
will see that they are enforced.

Should local mobocracy dom

Never. The peerless sovereign

NOW MALE DRESSREFoRM
The German idea of reform in
mems dress is that man can get
along without vest, shirt, trous-
ers, hat and collar.
Keep your shirt on, hguratiye-
ly speaking, until we get chance
to announce that these German
reformers suggest substitutes for
the above mentioned articles.
For a shirt, thou shalt wear a

the bald must train their whiskers
upward with thatch roof effect.
Looking some American men
over studiously, we garner fears
that you can't always tell what
the American man will do in the
matter of dress. Then, too, there
is somewhat of charm in the idea
of sailing down to work wrapped
in a Roman sheet, with cinch
buckle the only thing to fasten
or to hunt for under the bed
chamber bureau.
There are certain of our cut
throat collars which we believe
we could burn with joy. There
are times in the year when we
could hang our best shirt as high
as Woodrow Wilson's electoral
vote and take to the blouse. We
have cussed the willing creases
in Our pants of an evening until
knee breecheS have no terrors to
us. But all Germany, including
Alsace-Lorraine, can't make us
promote the breeding of whiskers
or the exposure of the top of the
male head to Augustus sunny
rays or February's raucous frig
idity.
Still, we'll keep an eye on that
German innovation in dress. We
see our dear women taking their
patterns from Parisians, against

dare not offend the big advertis-
ers-for if it ofends them, then
the advertisers can starve it to
death by refusing to advertise.
That's why the advertising
newspapers of Chicago are slaves
of the advertisers, and dare not
publish the truth when the. truth
hurts either the feelings or the
business of the advertisers.
So all the charges of the trust
press that either the pressmen's
union or any other union killed
The World, are pack of ma
licious lies, published for no other
purpose than to injure organized
labor.
When organized labor gave
The World 100000 circulation,
there is no excuse for blaming
labor for its failure.
All the talk about waste by
1nion employees in the press
room or any other department of
The World is bosh. The truth is
he union employees tried to show
he management how to elimin-
tie waste and save money-and
they tried in every way, they
knew how to help make the
