THE law AND THE SALOON

II is easy TO eXaggerate the dement's,
i'm the nature Of reducing saloon graft
that would come directly from permit
ting saloons TO keep open during certain
hours OH SUNDAY. as is the custom III
London and is proposed for New OK
In the bill pending at Albany. The
privilege Of selling on Sunday IS Only
one Of the things for which the law
violating SalOOnkeeper pays. II ne
were permitted 10 keep open on sun
uay during certain hours he might con-
tinue TO pay 10 keep open IN other
he urS on that day and after o'clock III
the mOrnir on week days. Neverthe-
less. the adoption Of this bill would be
step in the direction of eliminating
graft from saloons.
This Is the one form of graft which
there is reasonable hope of ending by
I Legislation. The hes and most com
prehenSive plan for ending II was that
brought forward few years ago 10y a
committee of which the Rev. John i.
Peters was the chairman. 1t was. III
brief. TO liberalize the restrictions upon
liquor selling and then make II TO the
salOonkecper interest 10 observe them.
As Il is now the state drives the sa-
llOonkeeper into shabby traffic and into
law violation in order 10 make living
out of his business. II charges him a
heavy license fee and then does not pro
mott ion
In its desire for a big revenue from
this business It cheerfully takes dirty
money from its licensee that can Only
be gained through the purchase of the
privilege 10 violate the law. through
turning the saloons into dives, or
through running an evil hotel in con
junction with the bar. BY restricting
the number of saloons license might
be made TO have such value 10 the
holder that he would not run the
chance Of losing il. especially If the
penalty Of violating the liquor law was
made TO run not only against the man
in whose name the license stood but
against the property where the saloon
was located
\ rational reform Of the liquor law,
which would have 10 include the per
mission of a limited Sunday opening.
might be made TO reduce the demoraliz-
ing influence Of the saloon by diSsociat-
ing il from the evil traffic which is ear
ried on in those saloons called "Raine>
law" hotels and il might put an end to
one form Of graft
Certainly the opening of saloons for
some hours on Sunday would make lit
tie difference in the quantity Of liquor
consumed on that day. As it is now
LIQUOR can be as freely obtained all
over the city on Sundays as it could be
if the traffic in il were rot forbidden.
The present restriction does not serve
the purpose for which 1t was intended.
II only operates to bring the law and
lis administration into contempt.

MORE WORK FOR COCKTAILS

Some features Of the appalling dis
asters in the Middle West give empha-
sis TO a suggestion which has hitherto
been made for the employment Of our
unrivalled Panama engineering force In
the improvement Of our domestic IN
land waterways The damage done by
wind. and some Of that done by floods,
could not. Of course. have been ayerted,
excepting I'm some degree through me
substantial construction. But much Of
that done by overfOwing rivers could
have been prevented by improvement of
those waterways The deepening Of
channels the strengthening of levees
wherever their existence is necessary
and the construction Of dams at stra-
tegic points would add greatly TO the
security Of life and property along the
rivers. while they would yield pecuni-
airy profit I'm the faciitation Of com
merce.
Now. in year or two more we shall
have IN our hands the most extensive
and efficient engineering equipment Of
the kind the world has ever seen. A
mere fraction Of it will need to be re-
tanned at Panama for constant super
vision and occasional repairs Of the
canal. The major portion Of 1t Will be
released from duty. SO far as the 18TH
mus'is concerned. its occupation will be
gone. Either that marvellOusly eff
cient organization will have to be dis
handed and destroyed, which would be
a thousand pities, or It must be turned
10 some other work.

could so appropriately be devoted and
10 which 1t could 50 readily be applied

VOGUE FOR FIGURED WOLFE
Revival or Old Fabric Has Been

the Public.

The public has taken most kindly to
this revival Of very old fabric which
Is now called voile and which is dur

Der of picturesque frocks made of it
the newest adaptation Of it as a top
to slim white skirt is interesting.
There are some women who prefer
this gown made of figured taffeta,
which in its new weave is soft and
supple, but it does not really give the
eject that the voile gives, and does
not present as much novelty.
Any girl who is to be married this
summer should have one of these
gowns in her outfit. If she does not
care to wear it as a dancing gown
she will find it admirable for informal
dinners in her own home, and especial
ly attractive as tea gown for the S
o'clock hour. She can add to it a cap
OF embroidered muslin or cluny lace,
which has round crown to fit the
head, tiny ruffle to hang over the
neck and back, a coronet piece in front
and wired flaps over the ears.
This Is the kind of cap Mrs. Castle
