ing of license by these persons.
Attorney Ballinger held that the city
has no authority to issue more than
fourteen licenses for saloons under
the Moon law, which provides for one
to every 1000 population. For that
reason he said that the city could not
take what itsceuld not give. When
the city has issued its fourteen
licenses it has no power to issue
more. neither can 1t prosecute for
violation of this law, because that is
states power, anu not delegated to
the city.
Attorney Ballinger also held that
the defendants must be wholesaler,
retailer and pharmacist to comply
with the section and that the three
violations could not be charged in one
information. One of the cases citeo
by the attorneys for Lucas was where
the supreme court held that Iowa
City had no right to- punish mIa
for opening his saloon on election
day.

ordleance Defended.

City Attorney Craig declared that
the city had the right to pass and to
insist on the enforcement of a sec
ton providing for the paying or
license fees. He hsld that the power
was delegated to the city from the
state. The city he said had the pow
er to grant fourteen licenses, anu
had the puoer to punish all without
licenses. The city has the power to
provide penalties for all persons sell
ing without licenses. Mr.. Craig main
tanned that II. the city was given the
right to pick the fourteen saloons al
missable under the mulct law, II
also had the power to punish for vio-
lation Of same.
Mr.. Craig held that the Iowa City
case did not apply. in that the legis-
lature had not granted the power to
that council % pass laws regulating
the saloons. Whole in Keokuk, he
said. the power had been delegated.
Mr.. Craig also contended that
where person was charged in an in
dictment with various misdemeanors
the proof Of any one Of thees would
ibe sufficient to sustain the indict
ment.

Government Receives $6,OOO,'

London. Feb. THE gates are closed
against any more applicants for pre-
sertations to their majesties at Buck
ingham palace this year. The lord
chamberlain has announced that the
lists are full, which will doubtless mean
r lot of disappointed social debutantes
from America and London this season.
Four courts are ordinarily held each
year. two early in February just after
the opening of parliament and two in
late May or early June. Last year. ow-
ing to the larger number entitled to
presentation, fifth was held. but at
such great Inconvenience that is hoped

The Topeka state journal., 1914-02-07

these courts all the official and diplo-
matte world receive the command to
attend and English ladies. who them
selves have been presented, have the
privilege of asking for command for
some debutante friend.
Formerly these commands could be
asked for a lady not a British subject
and in this way many Americans were
presented by English friends. During
King Edwards reign, however, it was
decided that all foreign ladies' should
be presented through their embassies.
AS the embassies have only four invi-
tations. outside the diplomatic circle, to
which only ladies' Of the embassies and
legations and their near relatives are
admitted, it is easy to realize the de-
mand that has been made on the en-
bassies for the privilege of being pre-
sented. Strictly speaking, the four ex-
ira Invitations are personal to the am
bassador or minister, but in some cases
requests for presentations have been
made through the authorities Of the
country which the ambassador repre-
sents.
This question of distributing the four
invitations is one of the most trying
bassy has to deal with. He receives
hundreds of requests, all or mostly all
from people of equal merit, and must
make an early selection. The rejected
are MS sworn enemies Iucf6a1IeT. HOW
ever. this year he can point to the lord
chamberlain's notification that the lists
are full.
Rain or shine, Quenn Mary must have
her umbrella. the habit being so con-
firmed that she often feels lost without
it indoors. This popularity has become
conspicuous through the recent incident
at Norwich where the queen insisted
upon carrying her umbrella through a
museum whose rules forbid the taking
OF walking sticks or umbrellas into the
picture galleries.
The queen has not been altogether
exempt from criticism for her refusa
to do as other people do In this re.
spect. The Socialist papers seizeG
upon the incident and even in more
conservative quarters the queens con
duct is questioned. The Daily Sketch
asks why Queen Mary, who is usually
SO willing to adapt herself to circum
stances would not temporarily dis
pense with her umbrella when she
visited the Norwich museum Shs
