NEW YORK, April 30. (Spe-
ciaD-Did you ever go to a din
ner and have to stand up, and
not even get any dinner? Well,
I did last night at the gridiron
dinner to President Roosevelt.
1t sure was worth it. Those
Washington newspaper men are
the cleverest ones we have.
They have the cleverest skits
and take-offs on our public
men. This one was a great
show. It's a pity they don't
arrange to do 'em before reg
ular audience. For lord, those
prominent men there miss many
a gag.
I know a regular audience
would be twice as keen and APP
preciative. I think it s because
each man in Washington is SO
engrossed in his own sphere
that he is not SO we'll up on all
topics as the average reader.
And these sketches cover ev-
erything. Ogden Mills and the
President both made good
speeches. I think those things
do a lot of good to help keep
those old big boys feet on the
ground. But say, I would not
stand on my head to see an
other one.
Yours,

today was without a local option
dry law, under the terms of de-.
cision announced by the fourth dis
trict court of appeals.
The court held that the Wylie act.
which enabled towns and counties
to determine for themselves If
liquor could be possessed or sold.
was repealed by adoption of the
Wright act, state enforcement code.
Repeal of the Wright act last fall
did not revive the Wylie act. the
court held.
The decision was announced III
test case brought by o. B. Bryson
of ViSalia, who was arrested some
time ago on charge of violating
the Wylie act. He sought release
on writ of habeas corpus, con-
tending that the Wylie act was
voided by the Wright act.
What effect the decision from
Fresno given above will have on
local ordinance is problematical,
Dorsey Whitelaw, city attorney,
stated today, adding that no defin-
lite statement could be made re-
garding it until the text of the de-
ciSion is available.
He pointed out that the decision
applied to city and county legisla-
ton against the sale of liquor passed
prior to the adoption of the Wright
act. The decision ruled that such
legislation was repealed by adoption
of the Wright act, but was not re-
instated when the Wright act was
repealed by the people at the polls
last November.
The decision raises a doubt as to
whether cities and counties have
authority to legislate on the liquor
question, Whitelaw said, or whether
authority for such legislation rests
with the state. Pending a study
of the decision this point cannot be
decided.
Supervisors in session this after
noon passed the following resolu-

you have a good time at Mt.

they can for you and are just as
nice as they can be to the girls.

for her. Let us see if we can
make Ella May happy"
We think Louise's idea is a
splendid one. Suppose each of
us send Ella May a little gift
or a card Christmas. Probably
a card would be best. Everyone
likes cards and they don't cost
very much.
Just think there are 1,100
members and if only one-tenth
of them sent cards that would
be ITO cards. Wouldn't she be
surprised! AS Louise says land

let us make Ella May happy on
Christmas.

mention Dorothy Stadtler's

late to wish her many happy
returns today. She was nine

 PASSES AWAY
Pioneer Resident of Doug las Dies Suddenly at
 Home Last Night

Stricken suddenly with an acute attack of heart ailment, Charles Johnson, pioneer of Douglas, pass ed away at his home on St. Ann's Avenue, Douglas, shortly before ' o'clock last evening Although the deceased had been more or less in poor health for the past two or three years he was down town and around during the day and was apparently about as usual un- til just before the evening meal was ready when he declared he did not feel well and did not want anything to eat. Dr. H. c. DeVighne was immediately call ed from Juneau but death had preceded him when he arrived. Charles Carter arrived from Ju- neau soon after and took charge of the remains.
 MT. Johnson, who was 57 years old, was born in Finland in 1876. He came to the United States when a very young man and has been on the Island over 30 years.
 A daughter, Violet, and son Leonard, survive the deceased. About a year ago the father com pleted a fine new residence on the Avenue where they made their home together.

PILE SUFFERERS
live IN SHADOW
OF The KNIFE!

If you want to be rid of the tor
ment of piles without an operation,
throw away your laxative drugs.
Generally it is abuse and neglect of
your bowels that causes bleeding,
itching, aching piles in the first
place, and as long as you continue
to irritate the delicate membranes
with laxatives you are living in the
very shadow of the surgeons knife.
Start Cream of Nujol treatment
instead, stop the irritation, and take
the first step toward the relief of
pile suffering.
This new form of Nujol is specially
suited to sufferers from piles. 1t
soothes and heals the delicate bowel
membranes and makes you as regu-
ar as clockwork without any in
reference with your work or play.
1t is delicious to take, and will
cost you only few cents day. Buy
it at any drug counter.
Start the new harmless Cream of
Nujol treatment at once. Give it a
real test. Stop at your druggists
and get a bottle tonight.

Takoma Park Citizens
Ask RECOGNITION

Declaring the portion Of Ia
koma Park in Prince Georges
county does not have representa-
ton on the Takoma town coun.
Gil, citizens of that area served
notice at a public hearing last
night that they would enter a
candidate in the May election.
Discovery that the proposed
law giving Takoma a justice of
the peace pertained only to the
Montgomery county side, led to
the demand also that the ward
system or proportional repreSen-
tation be instituted.
The town council will meet
tomorrow night in executive ses-
sion in the Carroll Avenue fire
hall to study the proposal to
give a justice power to try cases
in two election districts, and
vote on other minor changes
made in the proposed charter
amendments. The new laws will
