Local Option for New York.

When he is criticised by clergymen and
temperance advocates for failure to en-
force the excise laws. Mayor Mitchell en-
counters what every Mayor of this city
'has encountered, and what every Mayor
will encounter until the laws regarding the
sale Of liquors are changed.
It is humanity impossible to enforce the
excise laws as they stand in this city, and
no amount of wishing will alter tnat fact.
So long as there exist the large number
Of persons interested in the consumption
and sale of liquors at all times which the
city contains, no police force can enforce
The present laws. no police force will I'M
Jertake. Fundamentally and honestly, to
do so.
Public sentiment may conceivably be
changed by the dry" advocates. Mean
while. when a law is out of keeping with
public sentiment. the only sensible thing TO
do is what Mayor Mitchell has proposed
make a change in the law.
Local option is the medium the anti-sa-
loon people have been advocating for many
wears for the extension Of their work. 1t
is inconceivable that they should have any
protest to make against the application OF
"a local option referendum on the saloon
question here except as to the units in
which the vote might be taken.
Their bill, year after year, has adopted
the regulation political units as the voting
districts. Mayor Mitchell speaks of some
kind of a social unit"-having in mind,
doubtless. the fact that now there are
blocks and blocks in residence streets
where saloons are barred. The manner of
this division Of the city into units for
voting on the saloon question would repre-
sent practically the cruX of the entire mat
ter. and over it there would undoubtedly
be a wide difference of opinion.
All this does not alter the fact that If
local option is good for upstate territory
the same principle should be good here. If
the Mayor and his anti-saloOn critics can
agree on a practical application of it, the
city and its police force may be freed from
the anomalous laws, which are unenforce-
able because their enforcement is unde-
sired by huge number of voters.

The Coming TOPPER
THE GRAND TOUR
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.

Lyricaly, Salt Lake City was one Of the
first municipalities ever heard Of. Some
thing like this the song went:
"McCloskey shouted and holered in vain.
But the mule he wouldn't stop
He threw Mary Jane right over his head
Into policy snop.
When McCloskey saw this horrible sight.
His heart was moved with pity;
SO he stabbed the mule with caraway
seed,
And started for Salt Lake City,
Other versions insisted that McCloskey's
weapon was "a bit Of charcoal; but
never liked that. II threw the accent on
coal" which is wrong; and it made
short syllable Of "char," which is criminal.
Ny only reason for citing the ballad at all
is TO prove that | entered Salt Lake City
with an unprecedented notion-rather with
no notion. Salt Lake City 70 me was Nc

The Cordova Alaskan of February fellow townsman:
 Hon. w. ". Getchell, who has been a resident Of Nome since 1901, was an arrival on the train yesterday after noon. He left Seward peninsula with a dog team on January 9, arriving at Fairbanks about month later He pushed on with his dogs until he reach ed Chitina, where he took the train. Mr. Getchell is member of the Ter ritoriai legislature and will sail from COrdoya on the steamer Alemeda for Juneau. He says that the business conditions in the far north this winter are very quiet, but that the outlook is favorable for the coming season, as considerable new ground has been opened up. Practically all the pros pecting in the Nome district is now done with drills. During the winter the wage scale is s3 per day and board.
 In the opinion of MT. Getchell there will be little for the coming legislature to do and for one is opposed to oyer legislation, decrying the tendency in new territories or states to overdo He wants to see the present mining law repealed and says that this is the un- doubted wish of his district Therefore, he is pleased to find a similar senti- ment obtaining all through the interior Senator Sutherland he believes is fav- orable to either it's repeal or the remoy- al of many objectionable features of it and as practically the entire delega- tions from the Second and Fourth di- visions favor it it's a safe bet that the Roden law will soon be mere history.

Fast Ball Team Defeated Two Indian
Mines This Week.

Bennington, Kan, Aug. 2S.-Two of
the interesting and holly contested
games of ball were played here Thurs
day and Friday between Jeff Clinton's
Arapahoe and Cheyenne Indians and
the Bennington team, champions of
the Ottawa County league, with Hum
barger and Aubauchon in the box for
Bennington. The score was 9 to in
favor of the home team for the first
and to the second game.
The Bennington team has been
making a wonderful showing this
year. holding it's position at the top
in the Ottawa County league from
first to last, and so hopeless was con-
sidered the probability of any other
team besting them that one after an
other of the teams, members of the
league, have dropped out with the ex-
ception of Minneapolis. between which
team and Bennington the final game
will be played on the Bennington dia-
mond this coming Tuesday. The sue
cess of the Bennington team is at
tributed first to good playing, to lib
eral support and to the excellent and
efficient management by Arthur Nc
