About Women i'm Saloons

Bodenstab complained that Miss
Hutzels recommendation would
violate the constitutional rights of in
dividual citizens.
WE DISAGREE that constitu-
w tional rights have anything to
do with the matter.
Unconstitutional discrimination
might be charged II Oon,en uDere not
permitted to drink liquor in public
but the Hutzel suggestion is CUES
ton merely of policing.
Indeed in his open letter, Mr..
Bodenstab admits that the state
liquor act authorized the creation of
liquor control commission with
complete control of the traffic and
retail sales thereof subject to statu-
tory limitations. "
TT is not sound to hold that pro
Il hibiting unescorted women from
drinking in public bars infringes
their constitutional rights. 1t is no
more discriminatory than banning
women from mems locker rooms in
golf clubs or from mems rest rooms
in public places.
Police Commissioner Ballenger
has scheduled meeting for the near
future to discuss Miss Hutzel's plan.
1t should be considered fully and
carefully by every agency having
anything to do with the welfare of
the community.
Above all it should be considered
bravely without regard to savage and
unrealistic sniping by any pressure
groups.

Hearst Newspapers Commended
In Christmas Ship Campaign
MR.. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST:

MR.. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST:
T HAVE never felt that was doing more
worthwhile work than in the recent effort in
serving as chairman of the ship committee of the
Hearst newspapers in Boston in their laudabe
work of bringing Christmas cheer to the New
England men serving on foreign war fronts.
think the Boston effort wherein 10000 gifts
have been sent out to our men on land sea and
in the air to make their Christmas season away
from home happy one is one that deserves the
commentator Of every citizen in the community.
i have been happy to participate with the
members of the volunteer committee and the
representatives of the Hearst newspapers in Bos-
ton who have labored so zealously and untiringly
in this work.
The Hearst papers, more than any other
agency, will prove to our New England boys that
the home front has not forgotten them though
they are many miles away from the family hearth.
You, Mr.. Hearst and your splendid news
papers once again merit our well deserved esteem.

THE current cigaret shortage is au-
l. thentic enough and understand
able.
It is caused chiefly by increased
consumption by our fighting men
abroad and diminished manpower in
the domestic cigaret manufacturing
industry which is not classed as an
essential industry.
The atacrity with which petty
larceny chiselers in Detroit and
elsewhere haDe leaped to exploit
this shortage is disgusting.
Only little less disgusting is
the supine manner in Which in

CINCE recent editorial supporting
- the recommendation of Eleanore
Hutzel, director of the women's divi-
sion of the police department, that
unescorted women be barred from
public drinking places, this news
paper has received a great many
letters on the subject, mostly for but
some against the recommendation.
In early issues we shall endeavor
to print as many as possible of the
letters.
Meanwhile we wish to go on
record once more as fatty and
enthusiastically seconding Miss
Hutzel's suggestion.
THAT suggestion, incidentally, was
Il not as drastic as some of our in
dignant but uncareful readers fear.
IL did not prohibit Uomen from
entering saloons so long as they Were
accompanied by men companions.
IL did not eUen prohibit them
from entering such places alone.
IL only proposed that II they
WERE unescorted by men they
Uould haze to stay in room set
aside exclusively for their patronage.
THE first sign Of organized opposi-
l. ton to the Hutzel proposal to
come to our notice was advanced by
John Bodenstab, business executive
of the Royal Ark Association, which
is trade organization of the Detroit
saloon business.
In letter to the three Detroit
daily newspapers and the Detroit
police commissioner and the Mich
gan Liquor Control Commission, Mr..

MR.. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST:

MR. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST:
DLEASE accept our most sincere congratula-
tons on the success of your recent drive to
furnish Christmas gifts for the members of our
armed forces overseas.
1t was truly notable feat to handle 10000
Christmas packages and you and your organiza-
ton deserve great deal of credit. Perhaps we
in the department of public welfare have a more
intimate knowledge than most people of the
loneliness that comes when one is not remembered
on the Christmas holiday and am sure that your
recent drive has frightened the hearts of many
a young man and woman who otherwise would be
without Christmas remembrance.
With every good wish remain,

the benefieiaries of that effort. No more so has

ticular time Perhaps this will be the last time so
many of our boys will be so far from home. The

18th district and subsequently moved to his present residence on Fiske street. the 18th district.
 No state representatives or probate judge candidates as yet have been proposed by the local c. O. P. and it is frankly admitted among them that they have no suitable candi. dates at present.
 It is not likely that Mr. Rasmus" sen will receive the party roInina- ton as he has been known, tn the past, to have contested some of the authority of the party organization so-called clique.
 Party leaders are fearful Of an impending defeat for Sen. Sunna by former Senator Edward ?. Egaa in the 18th district race this fall. Many Republican adherents are rec ported disgruntled with the tactics of the c. o. P. senator during his last teym in the legislature. It has also been claimed that he will be strongly opposed by labor unions in Waterbury. Senator Egan has been cited for his past record in the Hartford capitol and is the type candidate said to be popular with q good share Of both Republicans and Democrats.
 Reports state that a layman may be chosen to oppose Probate Judge Patrick Healey. Democratic nomi- nee who at this writing seems firmly entrenched in his position. The name of John J. Kearney, former c. Q. ?. mayoralty candidate has been proposed as his opponent but 1t does not seem likely at this time that the latter will be available.
 It is Q f0Tegone conclusion that senatorial candidate Patrick Wall lace of the 18th district will receive all-out and early support Of the local Democratic organization dug- ing the coming campaign, Wallace was defeated by Sen. John ?. Tobin in Q primary contest two years ego which largely was blamed on the tardlnes Of the organization in backing his efforts. Wallace de- feated Sen. T0biD in a similar pFl. mary this past spring when the full support of the Democratic group was placed in back Of him, Despite this, Sen. Tobin made a remarkable showing for an individual candidate, The latter recently announced his support of MT. Wallace in the lets teT's efforts in opposing . Q, o. ?, candidate.

 Collector Kraemer suggested thas taxpayers refrain from writing let. ters to inquire about their refunds because. in fairness to all taxpayers the checks arc being written in the order in which they are mechanic ally processed. and 1t is impossible to determine the status os any in- dividual case without disrupting and slowing up the whole procedure However if the taxpayer has changed his address since he filed his return he should advise the collector ol both his old and new addresses.
