vented the council committee on

favorable report on the Lodge resi-
dental saloon restriction ordinance,

members voted TO report out the
Lodge ordinance unfayorably, with
the recommendation that the entire
city he restricted under the Watson
ordnance Assistant Corporation
Counsel Tarsney was instructed TO
draw up the necessary ordinance for
immediate submission 10 the council.
Aid Lodge who was not present
when the committee acted, appeared
later and insisted on hearing. As d
result third hearing on the Lodge
ordinance will be held next Thursday
afternoon The compromise plan or
placing the entire city under the Wat
son restriction ordinance will also be
discussed.
Aid, Lodge will oppose the extern
siop of the Watson ordinance IN lieu
OF hly measure. on the ground that
IN" Watson ordinance does not pro
hibit the transfer OF saloon licenses
as il can be amended too easily.

argument that appeals TO those men,

SHOW NO FEELING OF ENVY
UnseIfish Attitude of the Poor Toward
Pleasures They Can't Par
ticipate In.

There Is something strangely pa
thetic In the unselfishness with which
the poor regard the pleasures Of the
rich. Consider the university boat
race. One might expect the over
worked clerk and the underpaid Ia
borer to resent the time and money
spent upon training a few expensive
and Improbable athletes. What we
find is a spontaneous national enthu-
siasm. a concentration upon results
which cannot practically affect in any
way the concentrating enthusiast.
People care about the boat race be-
cause It Is a sport, a game, because
its issue Is uncertain-not because
they bet on 1t, although they do. So
even with the Derby, where the bet
ting. is a much larger factor. But
how much more really sporting II all
these selfless souls who cheer and
gamble could be riding and racing on
their own account! Our own
betting laws are Objectionable in
SO far as they discriminate unfair
ly between the methods Of the rich
and those Of the poor. but in princi-
pie the restriction of gambling oppor-
tunities seems a good thing to many
who are not extravagantly puritanical.
Only 1t remains true that the proper
cure for such social evils as betting
is not prohibition but diversion.-New
Statesman.
