LAW QUENCHES
REDLIGHT FLAMES
Civic Cess Pool on Broad

Out Into the Night.

The flames OF the "redlight" district
are scattered. Today not even the en-
bers Of the old Broadway can be said
to remain The winds OF the law blew
hard for many. many months upon the
adobe walls Of the cribs. the notorious

Curtain Pulled.
Broadway with its "flotsam and Jet

curtain finally. The auto trucks of
the transfer companies piled up and
down three blocks Of street and gath

stored all the things they possess As
midnight neared, automobiles drove up
TO the parl0r houses and carried off
inmates in furs and silks. The sicken-
ing odor Of perfume filled the air about
them-then the cars started off Where
did they go? Who knows?
At the same time care from the
stands drove up before the fronts .s Of
women off to fields anew.

It was one OF the ironies OF the
drawing OF the curtain that the crea-

came to tell them goodbye. Well
dressed men came IN automobiles and,
departing, kissed the women with a
singular tenderness at the doors. Boys,

1T is so EASY!

Boston is famous for its beans, but
those who "know beans" will tell you
that none are so delicious as those
beans baked in the ground according
TO the manner of the guides and lum-
bermen of the Maine woods. Not
long ago man from the Middle West
took hunting trip through the Pine
Tree State. He hired a camp, and
his cook was Frenchman, long ex-
perienced in the art of cooking. The
man was delighted with the beans,
and ate them three times day.
When he went out, he asked the
Frenchman if he would give him his
formula for cooking beans.
"Sure," said Joe. "She's jes' so
easy as nottin'. If you lax for cook

DRESSING ROOM IN NEW SLEEP.
ING CAR BERTHS

The embarrassing inconveniences
commonly experienced in a sleeping
car are done away with in a recently
patented sleeper, described in the
June Popular Mechanics Magazine
The car provides all berths with room
in which the passenger may stand
upright while dressing or undressing.
The portion of the mattress and sprng
under each pillow is made separate
from the rest and so hinged to the
end of the berth that it can be turned
up out of the way. In the lower
berth this leaves a space at the head
of the bed which the passenger can
enter by opening the hinged end of
the seat; here he can disrobe while
standing upright and hang his clothes
full length, at the end of the hinged
section which does not extend quite

to the side of the car. When undress-
ed he gets into bed and then turns
down the hinged section and puts the
pillow in place. The upper berth is
arranged similarity, the head being
at the opposite end. Over the fott
of the lower berth hangs a narrow
platform, inclosed except at the aisle
end, to which the upper-berth passen-
ger easily mounts by opening the
hinged end of the seat and using a
step supplied by the porter.

LABOR men ARE Warned,

The Labor Record New Orleans, official
organ OF the Central Trades and Labor Council of
LOUISIANA has issued the ensuing warning to union
men:
The advocates of national prohibition seek
our votes and support on the ground that poverty,
crime and all the ills that flesh is heir to are due
TO excessive drinking among the laboring classes
The Anti-Saloon League and kindred organ
lzations further take the position that prohibition
will eliminate the use of alcoholic breverages, and
that there will then be no poverty, no low wages
no long hours, and none of the things against
which organized labor is fighting
You know that this not true.
You know that the lowest wages in the world
are paid in those countries, like China and India
where intoxicating liquors are unknown.
You know that the prohibition agitation is
encouraged and supported by those who wish to
Side-track the great organized movement for the
betterment of labor conditions
You know that if the prohibition advocates
succeeded in convincing the people of the United
States that the evils of which you complain are due
to intemperance in your own ranks you will never
be able to achieve the results you hope to ac-
complsh.
You know that the real remedy for intemper
ance, wherever it may exist, is summed up in the
statement of President Gompers, as follows:
a-!ncreasng wages.
boShOrter hours of work.
c-More leisure as to afford an opportu
nifty for the cultivation Of
Better tastes.
2-Better aspirations
3-Higher IDEALS
4-Better standards of living
5-Freedom from the burdens of excessive
toll
6-Better homes and surroundings for work
ingmen.
The Warning.
You should oppose prohibition in whatever
guSe presented, because prohibition means that
your personal tastes and habits are subject to the
regulation of others; but more particularly be-
cause prohibition is based upon an unsound
theory, namely-that poverty and its attendant
evils are caused by intemperance, rather than by
unfair economic conditions. If this theory is
accepted by the American people it means long
postponement if not ultimate defeat, of the great
end for which organized labor is striving-a
juster sounder relation between employer and
employee.

WILSON One OF FEW
PRESIDENTS REELECTED
Only One President Has Served Two
Full Terms in Eighty Years
Most Presidents Have Been De-
feated For The Second Term.

President Wilson is one of the few
occupants of the White House in the
past eighty years that have been
elected twice in succession. 1t is
remarkable fact that in that time the
only President who actually served
two full terms, or eight years con-
secutively, was General Grant. Lin
coin was assaSSinated within six
weeks of the beginning of his second
term, as Mckinley was within SIX
weeks of the beginning of his, while
Harrison, Cleveland and Taft were
defeated when they ran second
time. In an earlier period Polk, Fill
more, Pierce and Buchanan had no
opportunity to extend their service,
being considered unavailable for
nomination. Fillmore, like our 9TH
er accidental Presidents - Tyler,
johnson, Arthur and Roosevelt-as-
pired to be continued in office, but
Roosevelt was the only one that sue
ceeded in getting a full term. AS for
Mr.. Wilson, he is the first Democrat
to receive a second term ssincefthe
days of Andrew Jackson. 7 Van yBu-
rem, who had been Jackson's heir-ap4
parent to the office, came to grief.
when he ran a second time, and no
other Democrat was again renomi-
mated until the time of Grover Cleve-
land.
Second terms have usually not
been lucky or successful. Not only
were two of them blighted by death,
but most of the others did not add
to the fame or popularity OF the
Presidents who were reelected. JET
ferson would have been better Off in
the estimation of the people OF his
time if he had gone out of office in
1905, instead of 1909, and thereby
avoided the mistakes OF his policy of
peace and embargo. Madison's sec
ond term exposed him to responsible
tiles for which he was not fitted in
carrying on the War of 1872, and to
the modification of surrendering the
White House and the Capitol to a
foreign foe while he himself beat
somewhat ignominious retreat into
Virginia. Monroe began his second
term with an almost unanimous vote
in the Electoral College and closed it
with his party torn in factions. Only
Jackson was as strong with the peo-
pie when he went out of office as he
had been when reelected. Grant
was elected to a second term by an
overwhelming majority, but it was
followed by official scandals. political
reyerses and a loss of much of the
good will in which he had been held
as a soldier. Cleveland was also
elected to a second term as successor
to Harrison by sweeping majority;
it seemed as if his party in coming
back to power was destined to long
restoration; yet III two years 1T had
