Today wifi be the last time that whiskey ia
sold In the open bar while the people OF the
city are in any manner exercising their SUI
frage.
II is to be regretted that the law establishing
this reform will not go into effect in time to
keep the open use OF whiskey out OF what is
tantamount to an election OF men who will con
stitute the governing body OF the city
AT the same time the fact that such a Ia W

should give courage to all who are in favor of
pure elections. and OF reforms in general The
initial reform came years ago. Under its
operation the scenes OF debauehery that in
times gone by distinguished the casting of the

CURRENT COMMENT
Diax indicated.

Usually the man who comes to the front wi,n
an L told You So when untoward circum-
stances prevent pushing forward movement
10 successful outcome Is an uhmitigated nui-
sance' not deserving of attention But this
can not be said justly of General Porfirio Daz
late president OF Mexico
From his exile in Europe General Diaz few
days ago sent out this statement THE world
can see now that was tyrant, but a severe
governor. realized that the iron hand alone
would keep Mexico prosperous and peaceful"
Diaz Is more than justified in thus directing
attention to the fact that he has been mis-
judged not only in his country but by
many OF the people OF its big neighbor on the
north. The revolution which stripped him OF
power and made him outcast from his ma
tive land was planned and prepared for in the
United States. A portion Of the American peo-
lie was made to sympathize with 1t through ::e
efforts of a score or SO Of yellow newspapers
and few undertaking magazines which seized
the opportunity afforded by his stern rule to
pose fearless and advanced champions Of hui
man liberty.
There Is nothing to show that President Mad
ero is not upright man and a true patriot
He undoubtedly believed when he was organiz-
for real freedom for Mexico. In his administra-
ton president he has done his best to give
that freedom to his country. But this
country knows and he probably knows that
Mexico ia not ready for such liberty

Madero did.-Nontgomery Journal

HIGH TIDE FOR THE FESTIVAL.

The Wednesday Clubs annual musical fes-
tiyal which began last evening, more than
justified the glowing predictions which had
been made of Its success.
The artstes who lent their genius to the
occasion did so with enthusiasm and dash
that showed the sympathy between audience
and performers that only the consciousness Of
the meeting OF effort and appreciation can pro-
duce a..
1t is doubtful whether the leaders among
the famous artists OF music ever found them
selves in better voice or in more perfect ac-
cord with the instruments through which they
gave their brilliant interpretations to a packed
and delighted house Certainly the public
showed its appreciation OF the work OF the
Club. as did those who the Club has brought
here to make history by lettering a long series
c. already famous concerts.
The annual festival is, like most wonderful
things. taken too much a matter Of course
Repeated offerings OF this sort come TO be
looked upon by the community at large very
much as right instead of a gift--which. in
deed, after repetition they become. But while
these noted meetings. 1t should not be for
gotten that their excellence, the educational
work that they do In giving the public the ad-
vantage OF really high art Ia the result OF
months of planning. OF unseltsh work. Of con-
slant expenditure. The public knows this in
tuitively; It cannot be too often reminded Of
the obligation that the fact puts upon 1t.
Every music lover will instantly see In the
mere names OF such people Chuck. and
Homer. Ricardo Martin Kari John, Clarence
Whitehill Henri Scotti Zimbalist and score
of others, what the festival technically means,
The greater good, however. lies In the intro
duction to the whole people of the ideals and
the standards to which artists Of this calibre
aspire and which they maintain.

MIsusING THE TITANIC LESSON.

It is entirely natural that the disaster to the
Titanic should have produced In both America
and England powerful sentiment looking to
making such catastrophe possible. Laws
governing and controlling navigation on sea
and transportation land are largely the
results OF accidents and their negligsncies
called tragically to public attention. Not a
railroad now dares to operate trains without
the automatic coupling. The block signal
vas caused by collisions. Not a theatre but
now has its abestos curtain: public opinion
would not permit another Iroquois horror. 1t
is the shock OF the sunken Titanic, supposed
to be the final word In safety. which Is causing
Investigation and will cause a revision OF the
code governing shipping in general in all civil
lized countries. II Is because that shock was
so great that there should be. along with prop
er legislation, caution against an excess Of zeal.
For instance, OF the many bills which the
sinking OF the Titanic caused to be introduced
in Congress. one OF them prohibited under
heavy penalties the towing OF RATS OF logs for
a distance Of more than fifty miles upon the
high seas OF course ii is possible that one OF
these great RATS might produce deep sea
tragedy Nevertheless the possibility Is not
strong enough to justify the interference with
the lumber business which such law would
involve.
The sea has been the natural highway OF
man ever since the aborigne first padded his
log across a stream with his hands for oars.
Likewise, it has always taken it's toll as the
price of adventure. of discovery. and of trade.
It has likewise given to the world not only
riches and activities, but it has lowered ciyi-
lization with a race OF hardy individuals.
whose custom of danger made them infinitely
effective in creating civilization and preserving
it, Indeed, the intuitve passion which man
has always had for pitting himself and his will
against the most powerful and the most treach-
erous Of all natural phenomena makes 1t rea-
sonable as we'll poetic to suppose that God
established its borders as much to develop
ambition and manhood as to fulfill its other
benefits to the world. Because humanity
stands humbled at the sudden exhibition of the
power of the sea and it's dangers is no reason
why 1t will. or should. cease in any respect to
use it. To hamper that use would be as short
sighted as II would be to fail to require of it
that it he exercised with a sane care for human
life The trouble with a multiplicity OF bills
such as are now being thrown into the Con-
gressional hopper is that one or more of them
may pass which would confuse an interference
with enterprise with the prevention of rashness
and negligence.

no longer man OF plumes on parade. Even
60 long ago as the Spanish-American war, be-
fore there was that intimate connection be-
tween the Federal Government and the State
militia that now obtains, the National Guard
showed it's power and its necessity. In all

military sentiment is eminently unjust and
