JUDGE WEBB SCORES LIQUOR.


Judge Edwin Y. Webb, Jr., open
ed the June term of the United
States district court for the south
eIn district of West Virginia at
Charleston on Tuesday. The judge
comes from North Carolina and
holds decided views on the LUXOR
question, as the grand jury learn
ed when he addressed it. He made
pointed remarks on several sub
jects, but none more pointed than
when he referred to the liquor traf-
fic. on which he spoke at consider.
able length. The Charleston Daily
Mail quotes him as saying that for
ed freely in the United States and
fully ninety per cent of the GRIM
inal business of the courts was cauS-
ed by liquor. He said it was no
wonder that the prohibition laws
had been enacted, the only wonder
being that the business had been
tolerated as long as 1t was. He
said West Virginia was one Of the
pioneers in the prohibition fight and
mad taken an active part I'M shut

state it begins to improve" said
Judge Webb and he said that buy

begins to think about when 10
stops drinking liquor. There are
homes for the world in the United
States, he continued. saying it could
provide a lot fifty by one hundred
and fifty for every human being in
the world.
Prohibition has come to stay, u.s.
serted Judge Webb. who made the
further assertion that liquor is not
! good for anything in the world, and
that the American Medical Society
disapproves its use and discredits
it's usefulness as medicine"

truth and what every sensible and

Liquor in the main is nothing but

little actual use for it. 1t has been
the worlds greatest crime insti-

almshouse, has multiplied poverty
and increased the burden of hui

Webb says, that sit has been toll

But liquor like war, had been ac-

not be suppressed, that it was hard

for, IS Judge Webb said, prohibi-

as it stays rum has got TO go. It
may take time to GUST it. but it will
be ousted just the same.
And how muca better it will be
for the nation when it is gone. Then
nobody will miss it and everybody
will wonder why it stayed so long

Notes
SUNDAY CONCERTS.

We predict that the concerts at
Rosemont Park, to be given by Com
rey's Band regularly. will prove pop
ular. The purpose is to make them
sacred, and the nearer the manage
ment approXimates that purpose the
more generally satisfactory will
they become, and the less general
objection on principle will be made
The spirit of the band Is generous;
we can understand that it is not al
ways entirely convenient for the
men to give the major part of the
afternoon to this work but the pub
lie enjoys it and it can be made a
genuine asset to the community
We wauld venture the prediction
that the public will give q cordial
support as long as the concerts con
tinue; and that being so, the more
Fundamentally the band member
ship participates in the concerts the
more successful will the program
be. We understand that the band is
paid nominal sum by the park
management, and that the money
will go TO fund for buying uni
forms and equipment for the band
as a whole; the services of the men
are, therefore. contributed in so far
as pay is concerned. which makes
the performance all the finer.

ADDITIONAL STORM SEWERS.

The Council last night made pro-
vision for two large additional
storm sewers in the northwestern
section of the city to solve the prob
lem of surface water floods, the
certainty of which was demonstrate
ed in the recent heavy rains. The
Council conceded that the sewers
would relieve the pressure in that
section and that temporarily the
difficulty over a much wider area
would be lessened; but at the same
time 1t recognized the necessity OF a
much larger sewer service within a
short time. The temporary relief
taxpayers will hope, that the City
is well taken; and we hope, as all
will proceed without delay to lay
plans for a comprehensive service
to be laid before any further paving

100 YEARS OLD

MILAN, Italy. Dec. f7-Somma Lom-
bardo, a small place about 30 miles
from this city, boasts the oldest tree
In Italy, perhaps the oldest in old Eu-
rope. 1t is a cypress, and tree experts
say its age Is over 1000 years. His
tory has mentioned IL more than once,
probably because IL grows near a spot
where history has been rather busy.
King Francis /. Of France, running
before his foes after the battle OF
Pavia, In the fifteenth century, hack
ed part OF its trunk with his sword
probably in irritation at his bad luck.
The tree is now a giant. Expresses
are tall, rather rigid, very straight and
give peculiar sad nobility TO those
parts OF Italian landscape where they
flourish, But this one is taller than
its brothers, cousins or uncles. IL is
81 yards high, Of IS feet girth. and its
deep green branches widen out to-
ward the top to a circumference OF
63 feet.
Napoleon, who respected few things
when they came In his way, found
this venerable tree In his path when
planning the splendid road from
Milan to the Simplon Pass. But he
gave orders that the road should go
out OF its straight course here to save
the cypress.
