Exceeding Their Authority.

The Police board has adopted a
resolution notifying liquor dealers
that saloons that persist in viola
tions OF the rules of the board be
penalized by closing the saloon for
such a period OF time as the board
thinks will correct the evil
Whatever the purpose of this may
be, it strikes us that in making 1t
the board has clearly exceeded its
authority and assumed a power
which does not belong TO it at all.
The only control over saloons vested
by law in the Police board is to be
exercised by it as an excise body
granting or revoking licenses to sell
liquor. The only way the Police
board can close q saloon legally is
by revoking its license, and any
saloon keeper who persists in viola
tion Of law and the rules OF the
board subjects himself to the pen
atty OF being put out Of business,
not during the pleasure OF the
board, but permanently.
The Police board was never in
tended to be vested with discretion
IN disciplining lawless saloon keep
ers by exacting the equivalent of
fines through ordering the places
temporarily closed. Such a scheme
would leave altogether too much
scope for playing favorites and be
almost sure TO provoke abuse and
evoke scandal.

A DOCTOR MAN.
Medical Herald


It's very often that my pa
Stays out all night long;
They say IL ought to worry ma,
Cause it's jus awful wrong.
But he don't care what all them folks
Says bout It. an he can
JUS sit an laugh at all their jokes,
Cause he's a doctor man.
He talks to other wimmen all
TIL time an ma don't care;
An every day he makes a call
To see some lady fair.
Tn neighbors says he takes 'em rides,
Men he laughs at 1t an
JUS keeps II up an splits his sides,
Cause he's a doctor man.
He holds their hands an smiles so nice
An asks 'em how they feel,
Men wimmen sneak round, sly as mice,
An give ma a long spiel
Bout how bad pa Is, an men she
JUS laughs an giggles an
Tells him when he comes home, you see,
Cause he's a doctor man.

In the Hill Towns Of Vermont

II Virginia has her Floyd Aliens,
Massachusetts, has her Silas Phelpses
and Mr. ]. n. Barss. superintendent
Of the industrial school at Vergennes
has story to tell OF Vermont that
is not pleasant reading. In an ad-
dress at ST. Adams a day or two ago,
Mr.. Barss, according to The Messen-
ger OF that town. said that "the ru.
raj districts OF the state present a
condition not unlike that in the Car
olinas, and feuds on n small scale ex-
list, even as they do among the
mountaineers of the South" Crimes
against the person are increasing in
Vermont, he declared, while crimes
against property are on the wane;
furthermore, the number OF criminals
increases out of all proportion to the
increase OF population. which, how
ever, is not as startling as Il seems,
for the additions TO population in
Vermont are almost imperceptlble.
He took n gloomy view of the future
OF the hill towns In Vermont. In
some OF them degeneracy was com.
mon. They contributed proportion.
ately more criminals and weak mind.
cd to the reformatories and asylums
than the cities.
In the back districts OF the Green
Mountain state. morals are at q low
ebb II Mr. Barss is right; he presents
statistics to support his statements.
In his view the educational system is
good deal Of failure. Some of
the counts OF hts indictment are so
black that Vermonter proud of his
state would be tempted to suppress
the publication OF them. He will be
charged with sensationallsm, of
course, and called a false sociologlst.
But IN his official position, Mr. Barss
has seen and heard much and cannot
be ignored As regards crimes
against the person. Vermont fur.
nishes from time to time some OF
the worst examples reported from
New England. Of late the state has
had more than It's share OF capital
crimes. and, like the South. Il has
had It's armed outlaws who must be-
hunted down In the hills by the
sherin'a posses.-New York Sun.

cIvlIlzlha the MountaIneers

The outrages committed by the
mountaineers in Carroll county, Va,
are symptoms of a condition prevail
ing throughout the states OF the APP
palachian chain from Virginia west
ward to Kentucky. 1t is condition
of ignorance, savagery, outlawry,
among 100000 descendants Of the
original English and Scotch immi-
grants. Notwithstanding its Scotch
and Anglo-Saxon blood, the stock
from which they descended was not
all of it good. Virginia and Georgia
were early refugees for criminals
from the British Isles. True, many
acts regarded as crimes in those
days are now considered merely ven
al, but it is a fact that a class OF
violent and disreputable men and
women found Judgment in this part
of America, and tradition and in
breeding have combined to preserve
their traits among their descendants,
The folk Of Virginia. West Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee, and Ken

mountains, suffer by reason of their
ancestry and their present isolation
They need help.
Mrs Mortimer lowering, who IN
derstands the efforts that are max
ing among this primitive population
to found missions and industrial
schools, is reported by the Evening
Post as stating that a fund, like
the Carnegie or Sage Foundation, is
needed to systematic the work of
education and redemption. There is
good as well as bad blood among
these people. Abraham Lincoln
sprang from them. They are not in
the path of civilization; its innuen-
ces must be brought by conscious eff
fort to their doors. Their retreats
will not always be the Businesses Of
feudists and raiders. Mr. Rockefel-
