HE Mayor's “lid” committee is said to have lined up in favor of allowing restaurants and cabarets to serve food and drinks | antil 2 A. M., with half an hour more to give their guests) _ time.te depart comfortably before the doors are finally closed. j _, Some fifty persons attended the committee's final hearing and | the cabaret managers listened to severe criticisms of the “degenerate + rae and “cheap music” which are alleged to demoralize the city | during late hours. The plain truth is that—quite apart from night workers who meet eat and drink—there are many people in this town who enjoy lste supping, dancing and entertainment, and who enjoy it even hongh it does not overstep the bounds of decency and decorum. It is one thing to say that these people ought not to seck pleasure in these vanities. It is quite another thing to say that they shall not. . One New Yorker, who asked the committee to fix a specific | elosing hour, demanded: “What right have you to make us break | ‘the law by going somewhere else after the early places have closed? | It is common knowledge that a man can get a drink on Sunday any " time he wants it. Why make us criminals?” *-The moment an attempt to regulate people’s right to enjoy themerlves ‘as they choose tries to do more than fix limits of order “and decency the result is invariably evasion, back-room subterfuge and surreptitious breaking of the law with the connivance of the Two A. M. or 2.30 A. M. for a closing hour is at least @ com- promise in the right direction. But whether a restaurant is granted a license to stay open until 2 A. M. or 6 A. M., the crux of the whole matter is to convince the proprietor that the city requires him to maintain order, that it will regularly inspect his place to make sure that he keeps up to the standard and that at the first sign of laxity it will instantly revoke his license. ——— jp ————_——.

They can be readily beached, they ply in frequented waters where assistance ig always within reach, they can carry ample stocks of life preservers. Wet, under the provisions of the Seaman's bill a Sandy Hook boat | Tike the Asbury Park would, according to the manager of the Marine ns Department of the Jersey Central, “be required to carry 120 lifeboats and 240 sailors. The sailors would have to be provided with sleep- » ing quarters and dining-rooms, and that would leave a space for the ebcomimodation of only 310 passengers.” ‘ . The public is deeply interested in any measure that adds to the » gafety of travel by water. But even on an excursion steamer out fee a day’s run along the coast, most people would hardly feel the eed of a amall army of able seamen who have nothing to do but ‘wait for possible shipwreck. Nor is it to be expected that steam- ~ beat companies can continue to give the public comfortable service such regulations. “on OA praiseworthy effori to secure safety through legislation need 3 pet, throw overboard all common sense, aa ae bahar It was more than good luck that brought 350 Wellesley girls, teachers and maids safely out of their blazing dormi- tefy.

As he passed on, followed by his gorgeous retinue, Henry looked after him and muttered half to himself:” “It i haa a subject like that I wouldn't leave his head very tong e5, Francis overheard the chance remark and it set him to thinking: “And, when Francis got to thinking, there was always a strong chance he make a foo! of himself in some new and costly way. His predecessor, Louls XIL, had been wont to say of him: “All our pains go for naught.

He was of no mind to out-gloried, and Henry's words rankled in him. ‘So he set industri ly to work on the task of “disciplining” his most powerful subject, “ In the ensuing war with Emperor Charles of Ger- many (the war broug!t oh by the royal wrestling match) Francis deposed» Bourbon from chief command, Bourbon endured the insult without a « mur and fought gallantly in a subordinate position. . Next, by royal mandate and by his servile Parliament's aid, Francis robbed Bourbon of nearly all his vast wealth, This Act was sheer highway robbery and it scandalized all Europe. Francis added to the affront 6; stopping Bourbon's pi ommander-in-chief and by refusing to reim- burse him for a huge sum he had lent the government. Bourbon protested against these outrages. Francis replied to his dig nified protest by insulting him grossly. This was the climax. Loyalty— Bourbon's loyalty at least—was not equal to the strain. He declared his Francis broken, and, joining Chartes of Germany, prepared fo inst the unjust King. He made it very clear that he was at- cis and not France. ; Francis realized all at once that he had turned his strongest friend into an equally strong foe. His course of “discipline” had gone a step too far, He sent messages to Bourbon offering to pay back every penny of which the Duke had been despoiled and to restore to him all his former offices and honors, Bourbon answered this cringing appeal in three words: “C'est trop tard" (“It Is too late"), It is not with Bourbon’s own Italian war, with Charles against France, but with a triple war caused by his deserting that this story deals.
