Removal Of a Landmark.

A big city like London is always, of
course. in a state OF transition. but
some Of the changes are sad for a
lover of the old to contemplate. I was
shocked the other day in Chelsea to see
that that pretty little place. the Vale. is
in process Of destruction. 1t was one
of the charming surprises which the
Londoner collects for the establishment
Of his friends. Walking along the rather
dull and slightly dingy Kings road. you

narrow yards between a blank wall and

sudden widening. a tiny square space
Of grass and trees and gardens, with
little old bOw-fronted succeed villas
with green verandas.
What is difacult to convey to any one
who has not seen 1t Is the pleasant
country look it had. The houses had
not the defensive look of houses In town
streets, they were placid and open. The

roses and shady lawns. and the creepers

three houses here, two OF them stand

filled all the end Of the square space.

The returns of sixteen out of
thirty-ttree voting precincts are
missing, with no clue to who the
thief or thieves were.
The votes had all been unoliici-

that the object in robbing the bal

commissioners from making a re-
count Monday morning and of
fcially announcing the result.
The boLdness OF the deed and the
obvious effort Of its perpetrators

STATE- WIDE LAWS

The Nashville Democrat in its
effort to get grain of comfort out
of the recent election, in its bear
ing upon upon the whisky question,
insists that both branches of the
legislature is democratic and there
fore the Democrats policy on state
wide prohibition is indicated.
During the campaign the Nash
vile Democrats contention was
that the election of McMillin would
mean an endorsement Of the demo
cratic platform which stood for the
modification of the whisky laws,
but since McMillin was defeated
that was not an issue in the race
for governor, but other things
brought about his defeat. The
contest, however, according to this
authority, was in the legislative
race and as both branches of the
legislature are democratic, as it in
sists, it will become the duty of
the legislature to enact the legisla-
ton on the liquor question pro-
vided in the democratic platform.
This is not only the contention
of the Nashville Democrat, but it
is the insistance Of all who desire
the bringing back of the open sa-
loon to the state, And this is
what will Ne done if their claim
that a majority Of the legislature
favor a repeal Of these laws is true.
A majority of the voters Of
the state have said that they do
noc desire the laws changed. This
was clearly the issue between
Hooper and McMillin, and while
all other democratic candidates
carried the state by handsome ma
jorities, yet Hooper defeated Nc
Millin by a big vote showing en-
phatically that the people do not
want our temperance laws repealed.
