In a neat little pamphlet of AZ pages he
gives you all the facts in the case; a COM
pilation of all the important court decisions
on the liquor question = facts which the
of splendid law library. Here they are,
condensed, boiled down, convenient for
reference and absolutely accurate.
There is SO much misrepresentation about
the rights and privileges of the liquor traffic
that you need to h2Te the facts at hand tor
your use.
'Bench VS.. Bar" gives the decisions of
the various state courts and the United
States Supreme Court proving that the leg
islature has the fullest powers to promote
the public welfare and protect the public
morals; that no corporation or individual
can acquire any rights which the govern
ment may not annul and take away if the
exercise of such rights becomes detrimental
to the public health or public morals and
that the liquor traffic is menace to the pub
lie health and public morals. These all
lead up to the famous decision of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court, Crowley VS..
Christensen, 137 U. S. SO, II Supreme
Court Report 49,:
There are few sources of crime
and misery to society equal TO the
dram shop where intoxicating
liquors 4 = ~ are sold indiscrimin-
ately to all parties applying. The
statistics of every state show
greater amount of crime and mis-
cry attributable to the use of ardent
spirits obtained at these retail liquor
saloons than to any other source.
**** There is no inherent right in
a citizen to sell intoxicating liquors
by retail. 1t is not a privilege of
citizen of the state or of citizen
of the United States"
This is the most crushing blow ever
given to the liquor traffic by any judicial
tribunal. 1t makes the liquor interests
gnash their teeth whenever it is mentioned.
These judicial opinions are part of the
common law of the nation. You need to
know all about them.

THINGS LOOK PROMISING" IN
THE MEXICAN SITUATION
Washington, Aug. 28.-The report
that President HueTta had accepted
President Wilson's terms could not be
confirmed today, Secretary Bryan
merely stating that things looked
promising"
In the meantime, preparations for
the ''hands-Off' policy are progress
ing. More troops will be sent to the
border, but the movement will not
begin before next week. After that,
unless the mediation plan of the U.
S. is accepted the President will re-
fuse to receive any future requests,
and none are expected in view of his
message of yesterday.
Gov. John Lind is still at Vera
Cruz, from which point the latest
message Of HUerta was transmitted.
Lind cabled that the defacto pTesi-
dent had withdrawn his request,
made in the original note rejecting
the Wilson proposals, of an exchange
of ambassadors, and in effect had re-
quested that the entire situation be
allowed to remain in statU quo until
after the presidential election in Oc-
tObeT.
Foreign Minister Gamboa, who
transmitted HueTta's message to
Gov. Lind, is said to have made it
plain to Lind that it is unnecessary
for Washington to insist on the elm
ination of General Huerta, because
the Mexican constitution prohibits an
interim president from becoming a
candidate to succeed himself.

NOTHING DoING, SAYS WILSON

Washington, Aug. 2s.-Several
things have happened lately to renew
confidence in the administrations
currency bill. One is the opposition
of the associated bankers gathered in
Chicago. When President Wilson
read, the resolution there adopted he
announced that he could not find
anything in the resolutions which
would be embodied in the bill. Any
bill changed to meet those demands
would not be an administration bill
and there would be no bill at all, he
said, if it had to take those lines.

AS in a great diamond robbery Of
fiction, daring thief entered Pea
cocks jewelTy store at State and Ad-
ans streets yesterday and walked
away with two cases containing $685.

The robbery occurred in the show
room at the east end of the balcony.
Charles G. Anderson, salesman for
the w. w. FUlmer Co., Philadelphia,
was the loser of the jewels. He left
them there about $3.50. When he re-
turned at 4 they were gone.
Clerks in the store remembered
seeing a man about 40 years old and
well dressed lettering about the store.
He had left when the robbery was

LANDED A BIG FISH.
Then He Hooked Bigger Game and
Had an Excitinu Time.


A singular fish story is told in the
East Indian papers. a fisherman
started for the river. accompanied by
Il Shikari. carrying rifle for use in
case OF an encounter with big game.
The fisherman in a short time landed
large fish and then moved up stream
to another pool On his way he pass
ed a ravine and caught sight of an
enormous tiger.
In a panic the fisherman concealed
himself behind a pile of rocks and was
flattering himself that he had escaped
observation when the fish fell from his
hands in full view of the tiger.
The fish was foundering in the road,
and the tiger instantly pounced on it
and carried it off. But the hook still
held, and as soon as the tiger felt the
resistance of the line he gave his head
an impatient shake, which resulted in
the harpooning Of his upper lip.
At this critical moment the enraged
animal saw the crouching fisherman.
who was totally unnerved by his dan
gerous position. and actually began to
play the tiger as he would a fish.
The tiger stopped for a moment in
apparent amaZement at such audacity,
and in that instant the shikari came
on the scene with his rifle and sent a
bullet through the brute's braip.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

years longer. but there is no reason to

Level of Two Seas.

When attention was first called to
the practicability of a canal from the
Mediterranean TO the Red sea by the
first Napoleon a corps Of surveyors
was sent out to run the levels" They
reported that the scheme would neces-
sarily have TO be abandoned because
the level of the Red sea was thirty
feet six and a half inches higher than
that of the Mediterranean. That report
put damper on the canal project for
several years. In 1917. however. some

EVOLUTION OF THE PIANO.
From the First Crude instrument to Its
Present Perfection.

In the beginning the piano was a
harp shaped piece of wood, having two
or three strings. From time to time
more strings were added until the
clthara was invented. This was an in
strument in the shape of capital Z,
with ten strings stretched across the
open space. Many centuries afterwarl
musicians conceived the idea OF
stretching strings across an open box.
About the year 1900 this was done, the
du!cimer made its appearance. and the
strings were struck with hammers.
For another hundred years or so
these hammers were held in the hands.
and then some genius invented key
board, which. being struck by the fin
gers. caused the hammers to strike the
strings. This was called a clavicy-
therium. or keyed cithara. and from
time to time it was modified and i'm
proved.
During Queen Elizabe time it
was called virginia. and then q Spinet,
because the hammers were covered
with the spines Of quilts. which struck
and caught the strings and produced
the sound
During the period between 100 and
1900 it was much improved and en-
larged and was given the name Of
harpSichord 1t was i'm ITO that
Bartholomeo Christofoll. an Italian, in
vented keyboard similar to the one
we have now. which causes the ham,
mers to strike the wires from above.
and thus developed the piano.
During the last century the inventive
genius of musicians the world over has
revised and improved it until it has
reached the present day perfection
