Club May
Get Arid

Unless the Illihee club can succeed
in getting special legislation through
three readings at the last meeting of
the old city council Monday night, the
organization will, in all probability,
have to do without bar in its new
quarters on Liberty street. The floor
space of the new quarters is too small
to come under the provisions Of the
existing ordinance, and it is reported
that Mayor Lachmund informed the
officials of the club that if they estab-
lished bar he would have them ar
rested.
By special legislation an ordinance
was passed allowing bar in any club
house occupying 5000 squqare feet or
more of space. This allowed a buffet
only in the Illihee club, there being
no others of sufficiently large dimen-
sions in the city. The new quarters Of
the club occupy $500 feet o. space.
New Council Dry.
The new council, which will be
sworn in at the meeting Monday night,
after the old council has held brief
session, is largely dry, and it is ex-
tremely doubtful if the new aldermen
would pass an ordinance permitting a
bar in a club house. There is a bare
possibility that such a measure could
be made to pass the present body.
Again 1t is said to be doubtful if the
Illihee club members, as a majority,
would vote for a bar The club has
taken in many new members in recent
months, among them many citizens
who are opposed to saloons and the
liquor traffic. Many have refused
when first approached, to join the club
because it had bar. President c. l.
Dick, in an address before the Board
of Trade some time ago, in urging all
substantial citiz ems Of the city to join
the club mentioned this objection. He
said he had met the objection witt
these words:
"Well, if you don't want a bar il
the club, vote it out"
The fact that by no means all Of the
members want bar, together witt
the improbability of special legisla
ton Monday night makes the estab
lishment of a buffet in the club doubt
full.

Rough Day on Horses.

Today has been the worst day Of
the winter for horses driven on the
paved streets. Scores of them have
fallen on the pavement though none
have been reported injured beyond
slight sprains.
Most Of the thoroughbred animals
have been kept in their stables today,
the owners being fearful lest a fall on
the pavement might result in perma-
nent injuries. All forenoon the pave
ments were 30 Icy that it was almost
an impossibility for horses, unless
very sharp shod, to keep their feet.

Windows Can't Be Opened.
There is no greater purifier Of air

There are special spirit lamps that

There are special mixtures for burning
in these lamps, but good cologne or
toilet water answers.
The lamp burns until the platinum
ball grows red hot; then the flame Is
extinguished. The yaporization Of the

The Caucus
Did Not Agree
on Anything

Notwithstanding that a motion was
passed to keep secret all matters con-
sidered by the new and hold-oyer
members of the city council at the
caucus held last night, it is known
that the candidates for the police force
and those recommended by the chief
of police were not entirely supported
by the 1918 council, and that several
changes in the administration Of the
city affairs will result when the body
meets either next Monday night or a
week from then.
Secret SessiOnl
The caucus held last night was
strictly secret insofar as newspaper
men and unofficial taxpayers were
concerned. However, the body failed
TO arrive at any definite conclusion re-
garding the recommendations made by
the new chief Of police Of patrolmen
and the upshot Of the meeting was,
the regular appointment Of the new
officers will be made in open meeting
within the next week In the mean
time, Chief Shedeck will be granted
the privilege Of selecting his help tenn
porarily, and when the council meets
next Monday evening there are good
prospects Of dissension as to who
shall be the officers to complete the
new patrol force.

A PROPER DEMAND.

With what remains of two trans atlantic steamers adrift in the ocean, having been abandoned because of fire, all being saved from one and several hundred from the other through the in valuable wireless telegraph service it Is not at all surprising that there should he an insistent demand for the installation of such means of com munication upon all vessels which ply the ocean. The greatest protection against fire at sea has been found in the wireless, next to the construction of the vessels the prevention of fire and provision for fighting it.
 Thus when the executive council of the National Sailors and Bremen $ union call for a ballot of members on the matter of refusing to ship on yes sels which are not equipped with wire less. a vote in the affirmative is fully justified With the larger liners en- gagged in passenger traffic such would be unnecessary but it is the protection of the lives of the crew on the freight CTS which such a demand is intended to cover. It is only proper and what is due the men who ship before the mast, both for what good it would be to them in the time of need and for the aid which they might render to others in distress. Within the past two years wireless has demonstrated it's value most effectively in a variety of ways It should become to the ves- sels on the high seas what the teIe- phone is to the business house and the home. Wireless is a service which Is cheap at any price when it comes to a matter of saving lives.

NO REASON TO CHANGE.

The idea, which was first presented in Illinois. of having the date of Thanksgiving advanced this year so that 1t would fall on the fftieth annf- versary of the delivery of that mem orable speech by Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg. is failing to arouse the country to giving such support as would be required to obtain such ac- ton. No enthusiasm has been created by the suggestion as it seems like meddling with fixed policy, or a need less alteration of the holidays for one year.
 There are various reasons why such a change is likely to be refused by the president should it ever reach him. but it is well said by the New York Globe that Custom has decreed that Thanksgiving day shall be observed on the last Thursday i'll November and many years of usage has firmly es- tablfshed it. There is no more req son for naming the day as November 19 this year than in any other year. It is sometimes just as good to let well enough alone. The rule applies in this case without showing the lease disre. spect to or holding in any less rever- ence Abraham LincoIn's memory
 That the Gettysburg anniversary should be properly observed, and un- doubtedIy will be throughout the eeun- try, particularly in the schools, must be admitted but there is no good req sen fer com bining the anniveFsary and the aanna1 day of thanksgiving.

NEW HAVEN BOND ISSUE.

The action of the public utilities commission of Massachusetts, in ap- proving the bond issue of $67,000, 600 by the New Haven road, though not by unanimous vote. cannot fail to be recognized as being for the best in terests of the system. There were the interests of the public of all New England which had to be taken into consideration in the decision and the course pursued is well calculated to be the best way out of the situation. The commission does not endorse all the transactions in which the system has been involved but it was con cerned with the safety of the issue and the future of the great transportation corporation. The decision is in the interests of better things. As long as the issue was proper there was a duty which the commission had to perform in behalf of the interests of the pub lie. and this. together with the crit icfsns is what it has done.
 There Is reason to believe that the great system is on its way to better things in every particular It has in dicated the intention to reform itself and it's new management and policies are not to be judged solely by what ever may have characterized the past and others. There is justification for giving the road a fair opportunity to remodel and reconstruct in accord ance with what is desirable and prop CT. Whatever criticisms have been made are likely to serve as danger signals for the future, but nothing was to be gained by any other course than the commission has pursued. Delay would be detrimental to the system in it's present situation, but by the de- cision it can and will go ahead and get the benefits of it's new policies so much quicker.
