VOTERS SUSTAIN LICENSE POLICY Village Declares in Favor of Keep- ing Saloons by a Majority, of Twenty-One. The liquor forces won yesterday, when the proposition of license was put up to the voters of the village. There were 66 votes cast in favor of continuing the present policy, and 45 for shutting up the saloons. While there was keen interest in the contest, the vote was not by any means the total of the commu- nity. The election of officers was tame, the only contest being for the sup- ervisorships. The following were elected: President—J. H. Grady. Trustees—H. Ranfranz, Fletcher, Joe Violette. Recorder—G. H. O’Brien. Treasurer—R. K. Stokes. Justice of the Peace—William Wols. Constable—M.

FAVORS COMMISSION PLAN Would Replace Present Legislative Representation With Two Members From Each Congressional District i Who Would Sit Continuously. Topeka, Kan., March 11.—Governor George H. Hodges sent a message to the legislature urging a commission form of legislative government. He proposes te replace present legisla- tive representation with ty members from each congressional district, who should devote their entire time to state business. “In common with a large and grow- ing number of thoughtful people,” said the message, “I am pursuaded that the instrumentalities for legis- lation provided for in our state con- stitution have become antiquated and inefficient id “Our system is fashioned after the English parliament, with its two houses, based upon the distinction be- tween the nobility and the common people, each house representing the diverse interests of these classes. No such reason exists in this state for a dual legislative system. Holds System Defective. “You senators and representatives cannot but have observed the defects in our present system. In a short ses- sion of fifty days you are required to study and pass hundreds of measures and the hurry with which this must be done must of necessity result in a number of more or less crude and ill digested laws, which often puzzle learned jurists to interpret. “after a brief session the legisla- ture adjourns.and the business of one co-ordinate branch of the state gov- ernment absolutely is abandoned for a’ whtle biennium. It is as if the some other ‘big business’ should give” only fifty days every two years to its management, “I am aware of the veneration with which ancient institutions are regard- ed, but I see no reason why we should cling to these institutions in carrying on the all important affairs of the state when in almost every other activity of life we are discard- ing old traditions for newer and pro- gressive ideas and more efficient and economic methods.” WILL VETO AMNESTY pity President of Cuba Maintains Right te Rescind Measure, Havana, March 11.—Aftera confer- ence with his cabinet, congressmen and lawyers President Gomez decid- ed to veto the amnesty bill, to the passage of which the American gov- ernment has declared its strong op- position. President Gomez Friday signed the bill in spite of protest of the Ameri- can minister, but! he now holds that his signature is ineffective until the publication of the bill in the official gazette and that therefore he still re- tains the right to use the power of veto. The general amnesty bill provides for the liberation of more than 8,000 convictg, including negroes, who took part in the rebellion last year. ‘REDUCES VISITING HOURS President Plans to Cut Down Number of Callers. hereafter he will make appointments enly after 11 o'clock in the merning, or for the East room in the afternoon. will not be subject to the new rule, but all others will.

Not Even a Veteran Is Wholly Free From the Disease. It is said that there are really few publi¢ personages who are free from ability to stage fright. The veteran ‘Is as likely to be affected as the novice. Frequently the attack comes when jleast expected, and, no matter how |often the speaker or the artist may |bave faced an audience, he can never |feel quite certain that he will not un- dergo' the tortures of this form of | nervousness. | It is a curious fact nevertheless that \stage fright sometimes stimulates in- jstead of hopelessly confusing the \speaker or performer. There is a story |to the effect that a friend of Canning \great .man was: about to address the house of commons on an important measure: “Why, your hands are cold and clammy. You are nervous.” “In that case,” Canning is reported to have replied, “I shall make a good speech.” And the prediction was fully verified, since the orator was at his very best on that occasion. For obvious reasons musicians are among the worst sufferers from stage fright. One artist trembles, another perspires excessively, a third suffers from headache, and a fourth is con- sumed with a terrible thirst. Its most embarrassing manifestation, chiefly among those performing upon stringed instruments, lies in the nervous trem- bling of the bow when sustained notes are attempted. Pianists, too, have their troubles in this respect, and many artists have told of cases wherein “their fingers ran away with them.” Singers ex- perience a “catch in the throat” that is deadly, to say nothing of a twitch- ing of the lips, fatal to clear enuncia- tion. It is related that Rubinstein, in the height of his powers, gave over the profits of a lucrative engagement for no other reason than that he suffered an attack of this curious malady.— Harper’s Weekly. ANCIENT MONOPOLIES. A Corner In Corn In the Early Days of the Egyptians. The evil of monopolies and rings was known_to.ancients,.. Aristotle. referring to them:in his “Politics,” and then, as now, it was found necessary to hold ‘the! ‘by legislation, The mo- ‘was in Roman law called a dardanarius and punished under the Lex gulia de Annona. Monopolies of clothing, fish and all articles of food were prohibited by the Emperor Zeno under pain of confiscation and exile, so that it is certain that the rings of the ancient days were as mischievous as they are now. At Athens a law lim- ited the amount of corn a man might buy. - The earliest recorded instance we have was a corn ring. There is an ancient tradition that the king who made Joseph his prime min- ister and committed into his hands the entire administration of Egypt was Apepi. Apepi was one of the shepherd kings and ruled over the whole of Egypt as Joseph’s pharaoh seems to have done. The prime minister during seven years of remarkable plenty bought up every bushel of corn beyond the absolute needs of the Egyptians and stored it. During the terrible fam- ine that followed he was able to get his own price and bartered corn suc- cessively for the Egyptian money, cat- tle and land and. taking one-fifth for pharaoh, made him supremely wealthy. It was not merely a provident act, but a very politic one, his policy being to centralize power in the monarch’s hands.—London Answers. Dangerous Golf, One of the rules of the Weston super Mare (England) Golf club reads, “A ball may be lifted and dropped with the loss of a stroke when played with- in the railings surrounding the powder magazine.” There appears to be an element of danger in this kind of golf which reminds a London writer of a certain golf course on the West Afri- can coast, where the eighth and ninth Washington, March 11.—After four | holes are always optional, as several strenuous days, in which his confer- golfers are said to have been lost there ences with Democratic leaders fre-| owing to the proximity of the jungle, quently were interrupted by handshak- | which is known to be a favorite lair ers, President Wilson decided that | of the lion.
