DRASTIC LIQUOR LEGISLATION.

DRASTIC LIQUOR LEGISLATION.
Even 10 or Is years ago it would
have been uncomfortable that the legis-
lature Of Illinois and especially If 1t
had been democratic, would have
seriously considered such drastic anti
liquor bills as are now pending, and
with strong possibilities Of their being
passed by the lower house.
For example. today there comes
up for the third reading num-
Der of bills which the 'drys" believe
will go through. The "drys" may be
too sanguine, for the ''wets" are not
at all disposed to concede the victory.
Here are some of the bills:
An anti-treating bill. This would
prohibit any man buying a drink al
the bar for - friend.
An anti-brewery bill. This would
make it illegal for a brewery to own
or be Interested in any manner in q
saloon.
A county local option bill. This
would allow voters, whether residents
Of city or living outside, TO express
their views at the polls whether In
favor of or opposed to the licensing
of saloons.
A residence district bill. Thi:
would give residents of certain dis
tricts the privilege of voting to ex
clude saloons from these districts.
A University of Illinois bill. Thii
bill prohibits the selling of liquor
within a radius of four miles of th'
state university at Champaign.
/ These bills have gone through TIVE
readings and, il is asserted, will sure
! ly come up for third reading thi
week. When a bill reaches its thirt
reading it is up to the vote whicl
means its rejection or passage.
The opponents of all these propo
sitions claim to feel no uneasines
and declare, whatever the fate of tn
bills in the house, that they will b.
/ Squelched in the senate.
The hardest fight is expected t,
come on the county option measure
which in effect widens township OF
ton TO the county limits. and is beinj
most vigorously opposed because it a.
lows one township to govern another
in other words, it delegates TO the out
of-,own community the right TO gov
ern the city.

The Outlook.

THE OPTIMIST.
When war drums throb no longer
And ravies melt away.
The righteous will be stronger.
The just will have their day.
When all the warnings ended,
And no man cheats for gain,
Then Virtue will be splendid
And righteousness will reign.
THE PESSIMIST.
When armies are disbanded
And soldiers till the soil,
The people, to be candid.
Will still buy Standard Oil.
When navies are forgotten
And warriors cease to kill
Well probably have rotten
State legislatures still.

MEXICAN MARTYRS
ARE SEVEN
MANY RULERS OF SOUTHERN
REPUBLIC HAVE "%LlSTENED
LAST TO RIFLES SPEECH"

New York, Feb. 24.-With the kill
ing of Madero and Suarez in Mexico
City yesterday the list of those who
have paid the fatal price of ruling
Mexico is increased to seven names
since just a little more than a century
ago, when Miguel Hidalgo Costilla, the
"liberator" Of Mexico and clutched
control from the feeble hands of the
Spanish viceroy.
An obscure country priest, Hidalgo
conspired with his own parish in the
state of Guanajauto in 1910 and in the
fall of that yea when he rang the
bell of his church to call the people
to war, an army of 10000 rallied to
his standard. He pressed on toward
Mexico City with constantly increasing
numbers until he nae a following of
100, 900 patriotic but undisciplined men.
A force of only 5000 veteran soldiers
of Spain delivered a crushing defeat
in January, 1911, and drove Hidalgo
to the mountains, where he Waged
guerrilla warfare until he was caught
and shot in July, 1911. The list of
presidents and emperors of Mexico
who have listened last to the rifles
speech" thus opened, is as follows:
Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, liberator,
1911.
Jose Maria Morelos y Pavona, presi-
dent, 1916.
Francisco Xavier Nina, president,
1917.
Augustin de Iturbide, emperor, 1924.
Macmillan, Archduke Of Austria,
1867.
Francisco I. Madero, president, 1913.
Jose Pine Suarez, vice president.

the greatest disbursements is hardly
understandable to the lay mind. she
says that she fell outside of Trenton

hours behind the others, and was UNI
able to stand when she reached there.
However, the trip has not been
without humorous incidents. At least
they will seem humorous after the
journey is over. General Resale
Jones is the heroine of the expedition.
and has won the hearts of several
men along the way. Here's one of
the love letters which she has re

IMPROVEMENTS ARE
UPSET AGAIN
ATTORNEY PARR SAYS HAMiL.
TON COUNCIL MUST ONCE
MORE PASS ORDINANCE.

Hamilton. Feb. 24.-(Special.)-Wil
the city council have to make a third
start in its creation of special i'm
ing to an opinion rendered George
Faduloff today by Attorney c. M.
Parr, who has been retained by prop
erty owners in the district to pass on
the legality of the councils work in
connection with the district the city
fathers will ave to do just that thing.
At a special meeting last Wednesday
evening the council passed a resolu-
ton creating the district, following
the annulling of previous action taken
because of Irregularities discovered in
the councils work.
In his report to Mr.. Faduloff, At
torney Parr points out errors in the
present resolution which he maintains
are a n to success in carrying
or the Improvement work. The at
torney points out that the description
of the boundaries of the district starts
as follows: AT a point where the
%northerly line of Main street of the
city of Hamilton intersects the west
erly line of Second street" He then
calls attention to a. court opinion
which holds that "a street includes
sidewalks and CUTTERS" which means
that a street includes all that terri
tory from property line to property
line. He holds that this would keep
the city from building any sidewalks
on the west side of Second street
from Main street, a corner Of block
16. Thus the description continues
excluding walks on the west side of
Second street and the east side of
Fifth street, which were intended as
part of the district. The same thing
applies to the west side of Main street
between Second and Fifth streets.
Mr.. Parr also points out that the
word cement is used throughout the
resolution when the city ordinance
requires walks to be. built of concrete.
He maintains that there is a distinc-
ton between cement and concrete, the
former being a kind of calcined lime
stone, while the latter is a mixture of
gravel pebbles or broken stone mixed
with cement, or with tar n used for
walks, roadways, etc.
