land“ It: Eu: 0]“. Highland furl W a ”and (m umr [dictum-couture“ ‘ Several complaints reached us by phone relative to the half hour intermission at the concerts at Ravinia Park. Those who‘make: the objection claim that the reason for the' long period is to give the theatre, which is running a mov-. ing picture show, a chance to ob- tain an audience. .and as they came to hear music they did not care for other entertainment. We'interi'iewed Mr. A. M. Low- rie, who has charge of the man- agement of the Park. on the sub- iect and found (him perfectly wining to give .an ear to all rea- sonable complaints. Since writing the above edito- O rial complaints of the same Order have come in from different peo. ple and we feel that inasmuch as it has excited such a general dis- cussion, we would 'be giad to give space in the columns of this paper to any one writing a fair and short opinion on the subject.

The moving pictures are instruc- tive as well as amusing and do not reflect in any way on the character of the place. ' He said that he appreciated the arguments set forth and would be glad to have no form of entertain- ment other than music if the peo- ple were sufficiently interested to make it a paying proposition. or even if, it paid expenses But this fact faces the management of Ravinia Park: It is losing ‘money from this spurge has helped much in bridging over the financial gap. and something must bedone to save it.

This looks as if they mean. business; so let us éomply iith the law- ' Many yet living can vividly rc- mcmber that, ominous cloud that tfiree score years ago was just looming up in our political horiion 'and foreshadowing the terrible struggle that' was to decide wheth- v.-â€"”â€"_ ,, er slavery should continue in this country or forever give place to freedom. No observing and thoughtful citizen has failed dur- ing the last few years to see thei signs of that other uncompromiy ing contest between the saloon ‘and drunkenness on one side and iprohibition 'of the liquor tmfiic and sobriety on the other- The contending parties are in dead earnest. There will be no flag of truce. no compromise. no quarter given or taken. It is a war to the finish; ' ‘ But as the struggle goes on it may be both interesting and in- structive to the foes of the liquor traffic to watch the attitude. the arguments and the methods of the friends of the traffic. ‘ The last issue of the Champion of‘Fair Play, speaking of ”The New Tariff,” says: ”But to_ the ordinary saloon keeper the (act that be‘has not to pay «increase. of $1.00 per barrel more for his beer. or40 cents additional per gallon on his whiskey must be iexceedingly satisfactory. But let him not think that his escape from extra taxation was an accident; nor that he in any way prevented it- It was the organized liquor trade that prevented the increase of the beer and whiskey tax. The brewers, wholesale liquor dealers and the Natibnal £etailers' organ. ization worked together in perfect harmony and the success of their labor is of lasting benefit to every retailer in the country.”‘ This frank confession and out- spoken boast evidences the fact that this Combination of all the liquor forces, “the brewers. the wholesale liquor dealers and the National Retailers’ organization" were able to greatly reduce the ‘taxes that ought to have been placed on intoxicating beverages and to the same extent unjustly loaded taxes upon legitimate business, We say ”legitimate" because the liquor traffic for u is not a legitimates‘business- The courts have so decided, This bold. boast of the army engaged in the liquor traflic is interesting to say the least. We may all well ask ourselves how it istha't the business which is responsible for all the drunkenness and most at the poverty and crime in the country has so great an influence with the law makers. I trust we are all thankful that congress was considerate enough to reduce the tariff on lumber from $2. 00 to $1. 75 per thousand. But the man of _mode$t means wishing to build a home for his family need not have been taxed anything on lumber If the liquor dealers had not been exempted that $1. 00 per Barrel on beer and that 40 cents pct gallon oi: whiskey: The story was cutrent not many years ago that a man accused of crime was brought before a certain Justice of the Peace in Deeffield Township. The party accused did not bear a first-class reputa- tion. but he emphatically denied the charge and the accuser did lnot produce evidence sufficient to? condemn him. The. Instice aftet avfeu minutes’ reflection said to the accused: ”The evidence is not sufficient to convict you of having committed the crime charged to you. but ihave no doubt you wanted badly enough to coinmit it and I will fine you anyway}? -~'a . Sud! reaéoning and such a de- cigjon of the court fortunately. is grit common. If. howgvcr. u guilty man is acquitted (a: lack in law he must be considered -in-‘ nocent and very naturally he makes himself believe he is inno- cent in fact. And so the public. even if they do not regard him as innocent must at least treat him as such. The mental result of this attitude Is without doubt Im- favorable In that it makes us prone to forget In our daily relations to the iallible world that some tinIe we must all stand before the All- Searching and Infallible Court. to be judged not only of the~t «things done in the body. but of the thoughts harbored in the heart. We are reminded of a passage in Harbin' s Health and Happiness: ”When a man has been acquitted of crime by the courts. his mind would logically say that he is in- nocent but if in reality he is guilty,t the soul‘ s verdict can only be set aside by the force of the mind. To b,e angered sufficiently to kill Is murder' In the eyes of the soul. and to be willing to cheat another is theft. The man with an educated soul would confess man would maintain his innocence bv the domineering mind. “The ethics of Christ's teaching are more rigorous and searching than any other religious doctrines and accordingly. all of us are guilty and the higher the type of Christian. the more guilt Is rec- ognized by the soul. ' Who at some time or other has not omitted to pay carfare when >not called upon to do so? One may have been angered sufficient; ly to kill but his reasoning facul- ties s_howed him the penalty of the State laws, and In essence he is as guilty as the criminal who was hanged for murder- One who hates his'neighbor sufiicient- ly to rejoice in seeing his house burned is guilty of arson. To covet a neigthr's- possessions is in the last analysis theft." Miss aim of Chicago was s guest this week of Mn. Adler. who' a Ipend- ing the summer here. _ Mia Nancy Barbee ol Danville.
