JTH DUB defetence to 8tate
Senator Hedges' legal learn
ing, It seems to us that In
his argument In faTor of the
legality of the Mtlwaukie dub and
: of the power of the Mllwaukle coun
cil to license gambling, he has over
looked or argued clear around the
main, vital proposition, namely: that
no special law can authorise the com
mission of a crime per se, a thing
that on general principles the courts
have held to be against public policy
Senator Hedges argues that he legis
lature, by a special law enacted In
1905, granted the Mllwaukle council
power to "license, .tax, regulate and
restrain all offensive trades and oc
cupations, and to license the differ
en t branches of business or profes
slons which In their Judgment should
be licensed.". But this cannot be
construed as a leglslatire permit to
! the council to license robbery, or
arson. 'or' adultery, or any other
crime; only "'offensive trades' and
occupations," which we suppose will
- be construed to mean liquor selling,
' , slaughtering of animals for meat,
etc. Gambling is not a trade or
occupation recognised by the law,
. It Is an outlawed business, the same
as! burglary," according fo a recent
decision of the supreme court.
Besides.' the Mllwaukle council
.- never ' licensed the Mllwaukle club.
The council itself recognised the fact
f that It had no power to license this
, outlawed occupation, The council
simply permitted it to do Its unlaw
ful business, and took a certain
amount as a penalty for the club's
violation of the law. No legislative
act can be construed to give author
ity to. license a clearly unlawful
thing; and if 'it attempted to do so
the htw would be held to be in viola
tion of the constitution.
This subject has been pretty well
threshed out in the courts, and the
recent decisions, as we understand
- them, are against Attorney Hedges'
posiiton. Some years ago his argu
ment might have had some weight,
'but we think it has little now.

PLENTY OF COAL.
SEVERAL PREDICTIONS have
been made during recent years
that the world's supply of coal
would not last long, and only
' a year ago that great pessimistic
developer, Mr. J. J. Hill, asserted
positively that the coal supply of this
nation and of the world had become
an appreciable, measurable quantity
that could not long endure. Now
, ' comes the United States government,
"through its geological surveying bu
reau. that has made extended inves-
' ' ligations, and announces that there
- Is enough coal "in sight" to keep
-the world warm and Industrial
" ' wheels, revolving for 200 years to
come. This is not a very long period,
' ' in the life of a planet, or even of
a nation, but this assurance is suffi
cient to relieve the world, or that
' ; part of it that can procure the coal
known to be in existence, from the
' shivers for several generations to
come.
' New methods of mining have made
it possible to mine more coal, even
if no new supplies had been dlscov
' red, and besides that, new and large
. discoveries are frequently being
1 made. There Is officially said to be

a real war. Jle feels that a man with
the blood of Frederick the Great in
his veins ought to be thrashing some

The news from Berlin tells us that

Is also interested in the suggestions
that these airships could be used to
conquer or devastate Oreat Britain. The
emperor's mother was the sister of the
English king, hut somehow that doesn't

peror apparently thinks that to thrash

What interests us Is the suggestion
that war balloons might enable the em

The summer Is in its glory, and so
Is the summer girl.
You see her everywhere, dainty and
sweet as a tone. On the boats. In the
parks, on the beach; the whola country
is abloom with Its loveliest flower, the
summer girl.
And, girls, just because this la the
season when you are atyour sweetest
and prettiest, I want you to realise the
fact that all your pretttness and sweet
ness will be lost unless you remem
ber to be good aad modest as well as
pretty and sweet.
Be out of doors as much as you can;
have a good time and frolic to your
hearts' content but don't let the good
time degenerate into rowdyism.
In having a good time it is not nec
essary to laugh and talk at the top of
your lungs. Nor Is it necessary to
stare boldly at every stranger whose
eye you happen to catch.
If girls only knew how plain and or
dinary and unattractive they look when
they get that bold look upon their
faces they would avoid it very carefully
Do not be tempted under any cir
cumstances to drink an intoxicant when
you are enjoying an outing at any of
th resorts.
Even a glass of beer affects a yeung
girl's manner and makes her reckless.
There are many delicious non-intoxicants,
and that is all you need, no
matter how tired or thirsty you may
be.
Above all, don't indulge in love-making
for the benefit of the public The
Seople will either laugh at it or look
isgusted, and surely you do not care
to have either indulged in at your ex
pense.

You may think some of these Ideas
prudish, girls, but I know that in your
heart of hearts every girl of you wants
to be a lady.
To be a lady you must behave as
one, and- ladles do not make themselves
conspicuous by undignified behavior.
