saloon in question in a direct line
is 2S96-l0 feet. iliese various
facts are before the court by slipu-
lation.
ut Is the contention Of the plain
tiir that when the law says that no
license shall be granted for the sale
of liquor within one block or. square
of any church it means that Ii
cense could not he granted for the
sale of liquor at any point within
the particular block in which the
church in. question may be located.
That in the case. before the Court,
as the church is located i'm block
1901. no license could be granted
for the sale of liquor any where in
said block, but that such license
could be granted in any other block,
no matter how close that would
bring saloon to church. With
this contention the Court cannot
agree. II that he the law. there
could be a row of churches on one
side of a narrow street, and row
of saloons ON the other side, but a
few feet apart. We would have a
law So absurd as to prohibit a sa-
loon on one side of the church for
three hundred feet. with buildings
located between. and ON the other
side of the church tn permit them
Ia be- within a few feet with the
intervening space and open street.
Such cannot be- reasonable intrr-
probation of the law.
The Court cOnStrucS the law be-
fore it to mean that each church is
a center of "A prohibition district.
whose radiuA is distance of one
block or square measured M a
straight line, and that in complt-
ing the length of such radius the
width of the street should be- taken
into consideration. In reaching this
conclusion the Court is following
decisions rendered by the Courts of
other states where similar questions
have arisen. \ like question was
before the supreme Court of Iuo-
iSiana in State vs. Brrard, 3 Southern
i63 When that Court was consld-
ering a statute of that state which
prohibited the keeping of private
markets within a radius Of six
squares of the public market in
New Orleans. the Court held that
wnrn the LEGISLATURE used such
language they had in view to fix an
equal and uniform distance in or
der to avoid any arbitrary discrim-
inalion. and intended that the dis
tance should embrace both the
length IF the squares and the width
of the streets. The Court SAYS.
The inquiry is therefore narrowed
down as to whether the width of
the streets is or not 20 be included

worth more than the picnic and
everyone plowed home through
the mud just as happy, or per-
haps more so. No pains had
been spared to make the pic
mic an enjoyable one, had it
not been for the intervention
of Jupiter Pluvius. Some diff
ficulty WAS experienced in rum

mercantile lines. While the more serious
turn in our international political rela-
tons tends to cause concern and some Of
the lowest prices OF the year in stock
market circles, effects in other directions
thus far have been almost entirely neg

A few other cross currents are visible

spect being ease in Southern pig iron,
lower prices for coke, deferrtng OF
projects because Of extraordinarily high
quotations, irregularity in Northwestern
retail trade. sagging in raw silk and the
continued restless attitude OF labor.
Ship yards in every part OF the country
are active as never before, wages con-
tinue to rise, labor Is becoming scarcer
and the purchasing power as well as the
disposition of the masses to spend goes
on increasing.
