A ROLAND FOR AN OLIVER.

The bluff OF the saloon interests
made agains, the repeal Of the mulct
as invalid has been called by the dry
attorneys. Legal lights for the liquor
interests attack the repeal law on the
grounds that all laws must go into et-
feet upon July . unless ordered ef-
fecrive upon publication Thus the re-
peal law TO go into effect Jan. l, 1915.
is argued as invalid Now come the
dry attorneys and announce their
willingness 70 go 10 court OF the prop
osirlon, their contention being that II
the vets contention is true the law
went into effect July last. is in force
today and all saloons and liquor stores
operating since that date are under
the ban Of the statute.
On the face of it the dry lawyers
seem TO have the best case. The law

down in the courts and we are to adj

sense, the chances appear to be that
the bungs would be knocked out and
the stuff spilled before New Years

However a better plan would be to
on the part of the drys and gratitude
from the vets. The legislature might
have made the repeal law operative
on July 4. In fact IL came mighty
near 70 doing that very thing Il vas
simply a sense of business justice that
put the day eleven months away from
the repeal, the feeling that the state
having legalized the saloons II should
give them a certain time for readiust-
merit. 1t was felt that there was no
occasion to burn and destroy but sim
ply to remove. And doubt no, that
that removal was intended to be and
will remain permanent. Next January
ends the saloon business in this state
forever.

The course Is over 5000 yards long. well
trapped and but for a few undesirable
features that can be eliminated II would
be a likely candidate for the champion

is the necessity for crossing a railroad

NEW TRAP SHOOTING RULES

Journeys on Statute Books.
WILL RESULT IN IMPROVEMENT

The Interstate association. in its recent
anpua! meeting. continued the pro-
rresglvc LEGISLATION that has marked ITS
recent administration, and placed on It's
statute books some new regulations that
are certain to aid in the further broaden
ing of the sport of trap shooting. which
,bia nrrociotiou is rlcdrcd 70 encourage?
The organization elected officials who
are well worthy to rank with the IL
lustrious line that has preceded them.
To these men IL also gave some new
ideas to work out that will vastly benefit
tho rame Briefly summed up, the six
most important acts OF the Interstate as
ISOLATION are as follows: UD Classi-
fication OF states for championship pur-
poses; C2) Appropriation for the resnr-
rection OF defunct gun clubs and TO as
sist new organizations; cd permitting
entry OF women to the Grand American;
(D Broadening the trophy principle Tor
the Grand American event; G) Early
closing of Grand American entries; 90
Excellent placing OF Grand American and
subsidiary handicaps. OF this list of six
pieces of legislation. the first three are
undoubtedly OF the greatest moment. the
Interstate association has finally reached
a decision that Il is necessary to grade
the states according to their trap shooting
activity Accordingly. four classes, A. Is,
G and d, have been arranged, the various
states fitting into these according to the
amount OF shooting which each produces
in a year The money donated by the
Interstate association to the state cham
pionships is then apportioned according

OF suitable trophies TO be given TO new
gun clubs. and 10 those clubs that have
fallen by the wayside. but which can be
revived by little stimulus of this sort.
This IL an important step for the Inter
state association and one that Will lead
to application OF the process OF building
and reviving gun clubs. When the Inter
state association decided 10 let down the
