Municipal Hospital Case
AN example Of this may be found
in the recent controversy over the
Municipal Hospital After years OF
lighting to get an appropriation to
build the hospital, the people Of
Washington could not agree where
they wanted the hospital built, and
Congress was flooded with commit
tees from scores OF organizations. all

to get a hospital for Washington.

If They Could Keep 1t Up.

There have been big men in Wall
street who did all the work themselves,
who attended to every minute item
who were from Missouri in regard to
each point in any proposition put up
to them. One Of these marvels was
among the very greatest financiers the
country ever had; but he didn't last
long, and there have been few others
like him. If man with the first Or
der of brains and ability could only
keep it up, there is nothing to pre-
vent his owning the United States. If
e. III. Hartman could have kept on
Is or 20 years longer at the pace he
was going he would have gobbled up
all the railroads in sight, and he was
just getting a strangle hold on the big
banks. He conquered every square
foot of territory as he went along.
There was no force on earth to stop
him except premature death-and now
he is almost forgotten.-A. w. Atwood
in the Saturday Evening Post.

WINTER THE TIME TO WALK
Exercise in the Cold Air Will Be Found
Both Enjoyable and 5ene-
fetal.

Winter weather diminishes greatly
the time spent in the open air by those
who ride in mOtOrcars. 1t comes near
putting bicycles out of use. From
steamboats, to canoes there is almost
entire cessation Of water outings.
All of which means that more walk
ing instead of less ought to be done
In cold weather. There is no other way
of moving about in the open air, which
keeps healthy persons feet so warm
and brings such a glow of warmth from
the body itself. If the pedestrian is
properly chad, especially in respect to
keeping dryshod, all of the effects of
winter walking should be beneficial.
With little care and discretion such
exercise can be made as agreeable as it
Is wholesome. Rightly timed and kept
within bounds, winter walking is a
good precautiOn against the Ill effects
of sedentary life and too much indoor
air.

CLUB LICENSES.

As the result of the large number of club licenses which have been is sued in the state during the past few years, and the way in which these clubs have sprung up far beyond the intention of the provision when 1t was advocated and enacted, there has been much opposition to such legislation. It is only what was expected therefore when the committee on excise of the general assembly reported favorably -npon a bill which will empower the bounty commissioners to reduce the number of such licenses throughout the state. Under it's provisions some thing more than the hiring of a club room. where liquor can be obtained sby those who are able to get through the door at any and all times. will be Required. This bill would make 1t necessary for any club in order to get a license of this character, which calls for only a small sum each year In comparison with what is charged tor regular liquor license. to be a Hodge or fraternal organization, a mil dtary organization, a golf or country club, or have members who pay at least $10 Q year as dues.
 The purpose of such legislation Is to 10 away with those drinking places which are but little different from a regular saloon, but which have neither the restrictions nor the expenses of those who are paying a high license 10 carry on such a business. There are features about this ibfll which would indicate that the provisions could easily be evaded, especially in regard to the $10 dues, and if there Is to be any loopholes in new legisia- ffon 1t might as well not be attempt ed- The clubs licensed to sell liquor should be few and far between and too much care cannot be exercised while such a change Is being made To see that whatever law is passed does not contain the bad features of The present law. Unless licenses can De restricted to legitimate clubs they bhould not be issued.
