Privilege
SlDEBOARDS CLOSED
AND CLUBROOMS DRY"

Some of the clubs in Wilmington
that maintained sideboards are dis
posing of them and intend to abandon
the dispensing of liquor entirely
since the decision of Judge Church
man in City Court, declaring illegal
the sale OF liquor by clubs to mem
bers and their guests, either for cash
or for checks for which cash has been
paid. The different clubs about the
city have ceased serving liquor to
members. and meanwhile lawyers are
trying to solve a plan whereby some
of the organizations may pass around
drinks to members or their guests
without violating the law Many of
the clubs that have closed their side
boards had been serving drinks to
members for years, and one in par
ticular has done so for more than
forty years, but now IL is dry" ex-
cepting that some member may tap a
bottle from his locker occasionally.
One organization has had it's side
board and stock of liquors removed
with the dispensing of liquor within
its walls. 1t is the Columbus Club, an
organization of members of the
Knights of Columbus, that had a
room set aside in the building for its
use. the order itself not countenanc-
ing the dispensins of liquor by lodges.
The Columbus Club did not sell
liquor but its members clubbed to-
gether and obtained beverages which
could be obtained free at any time,
there never having been sale.
The Wilmington Club, Bedford
Club, Democratic League. the Elks,
Fraternal Order of Eagles and Moose
all have closed their sideboards, as
we'll as the smaller political and So
cial organizations.
It was said today that some of the
clubs are working out a plan to in
crease the membership dues and to
serve drinks free to members as part
OF the membership privilege. This
plan may he taken up by some of the
larger clubs.
Another plan said to be under con-
siderattion by one club is that of ap-
plying to the Court of General Ses-
sions for a license for an inn or tav-
ern TO sell liquors, to be maintained
exclusively for the use of the clut
members and their guests. Whether
such license for a public place could
be used exclusively for club mem.
bers and their guests is a question
An application for a license to sell
liquors must be signed by twenty-foui
residents of the ward. at least twelve
of whom must be freeholders, and the
application must be published. If Z
club should obtain an inn or tavern
license 1t could dispense liquors en-
tirely within the law Such license
costs 5000 a year The bill recon.
mended by the State Revenue and
Taxation Commission and defeated il
the recent Legislature provided for al
annual license of 500 for clubs fol
the privilege of selling liquor to mem

The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1913-05-28

The Banner does not think much
of the decision of the public service
commission in the South Branch
street telephone case. In fact we are
of the opinion that the commission
has done a substantial injustice to
the village of Bennington and indi-
rectly to the people of Vermont. The
case in itself is not of great impor-
lance except to few people because
the street in question is not thickly
settled and not an important
thoroughfare, but the element of
justice enters just as strongly as
though the street in question were
the main street of the village 1t
appears that the trustees made a
serious error in granting the tele-
phone location asked for. Some of
the trustees were misled into think
ing that they were compelled to
grant a location. This, of course,
was not fact, but 1t had a bearing
on the case. Naturally the people
most interested thought that they
could appeal to the public service
commission and that the commission
would see that justice was done.
This the commission has failed ut
terly to do. The most astounding
part of the whole case is found in
the report of the commission itself,
where it says in effect, if We read the
English of it correctly, that a wrong
is to be perpetuated because to
change would be expensive for the
telephone company And the tele-
phone company is an eighty million
dollar corporation that earns from
fourteen to sixteen per cent annual
ly. The Banner has a high regard
for the members of the public ser
vice commission and is surprised and
shocked at the commissions finding
in this case. We trust that it is
merely a temporary lapse and not
representative of the permanent at
titude of the commission.

CHILD WEDDINGS IN INDIA.
Candy Kept the Baby Partners Quiet
Durinq the Ceremony.

-Four hundred marriages were per
formed simultaneously at the last we'd
ding celebration at Surat among MEM
bers of the Lewa Kunbi caste.
None OF the brides was more than
twelve years of age. the majority be-
ing from one to seven years old, while
the bridegrooms varied from three to
nine. Most OF the contracting parties
sat or lay on the laps of their parents
during the ceremony and were given
sweets to keep them quiet.
The caste only celebrates every ten or
twelve years.
These baby brides, OF course, do not
join their husbands when they are
married They wait until they reach
the age OF ten or eleven. when there
is a second marriage should n baby
brides husband die before she reaches
the age for the second marriage she
becomes widow and has to remain
so all her life. In such cases the
widow at once loses caste. Her orna-
ments are taken off her, and she be-
comes a sort OF outcast. hardly treat
ed, looked down upon and generally
made household drudge.
The husband. on the other hand.
should his baby bride die before the
second marriage, may marry again. In
fact. he is expected to do so within a
few months OF the death OF the BRIDE

bones are at equal distances apart, Of

The child's spine is much nearer nor.

and the society woman who does no
work is more likely TO have a back
whose curve comes nearer the ideal
than the college athlete. The spines of
strong men, such as the laborer or
pugilist, are most defective for the
reason that constant pull and strain
on the spinal column accentuate its
weaknesses The Igorrotes, strong as
they are, have weaker and more crook
ed spines than civilized men.
The spines of lower animals are
stronger and more normal than ours

cided to walk on all tours his spine
might be just as good as his cats or
dogs. Spinal trouble started when
our ancestors determined to walk up

man affected with anemia and other

the seventeen teeth still retained by
this man, the metallic lead in the
crowns was shown TO be 0.03S per
