G OMETHING to delight the heart Of

And all concerned include not only
the college girl. but the motorist and
the tourist, not to speak of the golfist
(if that is the nanel and all others
who devote attention to, looking at
once smart and comfortable when on

parture in headwear, but the descrip-
ton would be too meager, for it leaves
out the element of style with which

follow up this line of investigation

The new hat is comparable to the

GREAT COMMERCIAL FRAUD.

The liquor traffic confesses itself q
commercial fraud when it comes to
city with gold in its hand to buy the
privilege OF carrying on trade. 1t is
here in violation of the well-known
law of supply and demand. 1t is not
among us because there is a demand
for it, but because the supply excites
the demand. There Is demand, 1t Is
true, but that demand is artificial. II
has been created by the supply, and
were better denied than supplied.
There are scores of boys in any re
fern school who would have sworn up
on entering that they could not live,
without cigarettes. There was a de-
mand for cigarettes. But it was made
b. the supply and is better denied
than satisfied The great power fight

PURPOSE OF CIVIL LAW.

PURPOSE OF CIVIL LAW.
You can't legislate morality into
people, How often we hear this
said! Those who advance it as an
argument against the prohibition of
the liquor traffic should remember
that civil laws are not enacted pri-
marily for the purpose of making men
moral or righteous, but for the pro
lection Of society. The restrictive
idea is secondary, merely incidental
to the main idea of securing to all
citizens their inalienable rights to life.
liberty and happiness.
We believe there is a better way to
govern even the beast than by the
rod and the lash, but no one will say
that in the tanning and the training Of
an animal restraint of some sort is not
| necessary. Likewise, the employer
who is SO inhuman, so british in his
Instincts, as to sacrifice the happi-
ness and even the lives of his en-
| ployes to his own Unsuitable greed
must be restrained The man who
| preys upon his fellows by ensnaring
them in the meshes OF the drink de-
mon and who for personal gain would
drain the life-blood OF a nation, must
be denied the opportunity to thus
wreck the happiness of homes and i'm
pede the prosperity Of the people.
| The power to destroy must be taken
away, not as a punishment to the de-
stroyer, but as a protection to society.
To put it out of the power of one
man to injure another is as much an
act of kindness to the one as to the
other. 1t Is said that no thinking man
can run a saloon and be happy. Ger
tainly no thinking man can vote to
license the saloon and have an easy
mind. Therefore. prohibition of the
traffic is good for the would-be liquor
seller, and good for the would-be Ii
cense voter; good for the taxpayer,
good for all legitimate business, good
for everything and everybody. It is
a thou shalt not" which works for
the common veal; it is a law in har
mony with the great outstanding law
of the cosmos-with the great funda-
mental forces which without haste
and without rest" are working for
righteousness. Properly speaking, we
don't make laws. Law eternally is.
We merely discover law and endeavor
by legislation to translate it into
terms of every day life.

the hat, which is not to be considered
