. It la decidedly refreshing to notice
the large patronage this city haB
accorded that remarkable lady, Ellen
Beach Yaw; lasC, evening and, causes
one to be proud of the community. Not
particularly because the people turn
ed out to hear this one Individual but
it proves beyond question that La
Grande and community appreciates
the better grades' of entertainment.
Grand opera would draw large at
tendance here this winter, Judging
concert, and when grand opera draws
'in a smaller city it is a safe guess
that the people are right and are cul
tured to the point of appreciating
the best in the musical world. ... ,
We are glad that Manager Steward
succeeded in getting Miss Yaw and
delighted that the people have shown
by their patronage they want more
: of the same high grade entertaln-
meat.
THE TENXSYIYAMA SYSTEM.
t In view of the fact that the Home
4Jule association will endeavor to di-
force 'the liquor, business from poll
- tics by depriving the city councils of
the right to grant licenses and give
such power to the courts, the follow
ing editorial on this system, which Is
used in Pennsylvania, is herewith giv
en from the Desert News:
In the Keystone state, liquor 11

posed saloon is to be located are thus
notified, and If they wish to protest
they may do so. All sorts of evidence
may be introduced against an appe
lant The proposed saloonlst may be
attacked because he mistreats his
family, or because he once served a
term in prison, or because his reputa
tion for morality is not good. No man
who drinks liquor noticeably, can get
a liquor HcenBe in Pennsylvania.
Inasmuch as the law there recog
nizes that saloons are a necessity, the
proposed license, may be attacked on
the ground that a saloon at that par
ticular place is not necessary. The
Anti-Saloon league of Pennsylvania
employs attorneys by the year, and
has a detective service in operation all
the time watching he saloons for evi
dence of the violation of the law, and
they present these at i the annual li
cense court Or they may present this
evidence at any time, and the luckless
saloonlst in whose place a murder or
saloon brawl has occurred, or who
gets involved in polities In such a wnv
as to bring him prominently before
the people, may lose his license at
any minute, as it is entirely within
the discretion of the court
The saloon business Is entirely
within the regulation of the court.
The court may order that no free
lunch can be dispensed during the
year, that no liquor may be sold where
music is furnished, that no screens
may be used, that no liquor shall be
sold when women are present, that no
saloon man shall do business on bor-t
rowed capital, that no brewer can have
an interest in a retail license, that no
saloon man Bhall be a candidate'for
any office, that no liquor may be sold
at any public park. It is a fact that In
Pennsylvania there are no beer gar
dens and no parks sell liquor. In
Pittsburg for instance,' the saloons
close at 1:45 each night and open at
6 o'clock In, the morning. At one time,
under a certain rule of the court, no
chairs were permitted in saloons. It
Is within the power of the court to or
der, that no saloonlst permit one per
son to buy another a drink in his
place.
Iq he, rural communities of the
state it la often the case that no li
cense will be granted unless it can
be eKown that a hotel Is necessary
tt.ere. In that case the applicant
must show by evidence that he served
a sufficient number of lodgers during
the year past to entitle him to de
clare "his place to be a hotel.
The practical working out of this
system has demonstrated that the
liquor business is kept close to the
people. The Judge may decide that
he will permit no saloons in resi
dence wards, and there is no appeal
from his decision. It seems to take
the Baloon question out of politics for
good and all, and the isaloonlst who
become's perniciously active In poll
tics Is extremely likely to lose his
license at the next license court if
he is fortunate enqugh to slip through
until that time." .
The explanation of the working of
the Pennsylvania syBtem 1b merely to
satisfy the wishes of many people
who have had Imperfect descriptions
of it A great many people who have
observed the handling of the liquor
business In many states of the Un
ion believe that the Pennsylvania
system to be one of the best. When It
was adopted in Pennsylvania the ob
jection was made by the idealists that
the saloon would drive the Judges
into partisan politics. The reverse
has been found to be true, and It has
been found that the Judges have driv
en the saloon out of pnrtlsan politics.
Common pleas or district judees
serve eight-year terms In Pennsyl
vania, and the Justices of the state su
preme court serve 21-year terms.
At the present time there are two
democratic judges on th bench in
Alleghany county, Pennsylvania, in
which Pittsburg is located, the sec
ond most populous county In the state,
both of whom have sat In that court
for many years, and who are renom
inated by republican conventions and
elected by republican votes. The
county Is strongly republican, and
the democrats there never have a
chance.
The saloon business has not cor
rupted the Judiciary In Pennsylvania,
but the Judiciary has uplifted the sa-

Fooling Her Husband.
That there are more ways than one
of "killing a cat" is a well known fact,
but the newest of ways has been
evolved from the fertile brain of a
Germantowu woman who is blessed
with a stingy husband. This husband
is generous enough iu one sense of the
word. His wife nmy have the best
attire the stores afford charged to his
account, but she may handle no money.
Women, in this man's opinion, know
nothing of the value of a dollar. On
leaving for his ottlce In the morning
he kisses her goodby aud thrusts a
quarter's worth of trolley tickets into
her hand.
Now milady goes shopping, buys a
few necessities and n fifty dollar wrap
for which she has no use whatever.
Next day she returns the latter, re
ceives a credit slip for $.T0 and bet .ikes
