Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Promises that are Soon Forgotten

To the Editor of The Republican,:
 The regulation for night and Sum- day closing and selling to minors and habitual drunkards. is a farce Similar laws adorn the statute books of every state. yet they are universally disre- garded, for in these respects the sa- loon keepers are notorious law break CTS. The sponsors of this amendment promise not to sell to habitual drunk ards. but nowhere do they promise not to take the young men of this state and make them into habitual drunk ards. After they have gotten their money and manhood, their health and happiness. they promise then to turn them out without a drink. They shrewdly use the term 'habitual drunkards,"' well knowing that the habitual drunkard is their finished product, a down and out who more often begs than buys his drink. Be- sides endorsing prohibition for minors and drunkards. this amendment pro- poses prohibition for certain hours of the night, and for one day each week Sunday If prohibition is a good thing from eleven to six o'clock at night and on Sundays and election days. why can't it furnish us with a continuous performance for the gen eral good?
 The amendment proposes that only American citizens may become saloon owners or keepers, hoping thereby to give the traffic an air of respectabil- ity. The owner of the saloon or the seller of the liquor do not change It's quality Whether sold by an Ameri- can or a foreigner. liquor plays .havoc with humanity just the same. True Americanism cannot be consistent with a traffic that for mopey will ruin mems lives, health and happiness; a traffic that Is responsible for more crime and vice than any other one cause; that exists only for the great profits to the maker and dealer.

 NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-(Wah Street t)-Several important factors appreciably to the scope and strength of today's session. Chief among these were the increas- ing optimism shown in high quar- tcrs regarding the railway labor ne- gotiations and the imminence of the new Briaish loan, which is expected 10 relieve the local market of recur- rent fears of foreign liquidation.
 Rails and investment issues gener- ally responded freely to a wide de- mand.
 Another factor of sentimental value was United States Steel which rose 1h points to 891a, its highest quo- tatlon since last year and within striking distance of its best price since 1910 Steel and Reading over shadowed all other stocks in point oi activity, buying of the latter being again of an impressive chs racter al an extreme gain of 2M points, whict was partly shaded in the profit taking movement of the final hour.

cation Of prison industries would add

The board Of control finds that the

should have more land. Practically all
Of the state institutions, with the ex-
ception Of Bathgate, are farming or
using leased lands. which
could have been purchased ten years
ago for fraction of their present
