LET THE GOOD W0EK GO ON.

The astonishing verdict in the ChamaU-s saloon Sunday closing case T: monstratea the hopelessness of any effort to enforce the law undt," whose provisions the suit against the saloonkeeper was instituted. Apparently, however, State's Attorney Hoaly is not discouraged, lie having declared his intention of prosecuting the remaining fifty-eight cases unto the hitter end. This determination upon Mr. Ilcaly's part is praiseworthy as an evidence of his disposition to enforce the law. But his real motive for this Uggresslve. policy is doubtless that of disposing of the question of Sunday closing, once and for all. If fifty-eight Juries called to listen to the evidence In the cases of as many violations of the Sunday closing law, decide adversely to the state, it will ho sufficient evidence to the most prejudiced

that the people- of whom the fifty-eight juries are fairly representative, are overwhelmingly opposed to the closing of the saloons on the first day of the week. If over half of the defendants are acquitted it will be eiual evidence that at least a majority of the people favor the open saloon. The question of Sunday closing then reverts to the legislature and it will he up to the latter to repeal unequivocally a law that is obnoxious to the people, and which they refuse to sustain. On the other hand if it is demonstrated through the various juries that it is the will of the people that the old law stand, the advocates of Sunday closing will he encouraged in their work, and by vigorous prosecutions of offenders; will speedily and effectually clamp down the lid. While there seems little doubt that tho jury's verdict in the Chamales' case is a criterion of the people's will, it is well to give the matter a complete and thorough tryout. Taxpayers may complain that the cost is burdensome. It will be well worth the price -if the matter can thus he disposed of finally and definitely. In the meantime let the dissatisfied taxpayers effect the repeal of the law If the burden of costs is too heavy. Laws which are not enforced are only calculated to lessen the respect of tho public for laws in general. Such laws are demoralizing in the extreme. Even though they should be good laws, in the sense of the better element if it were possible to enforce their obedience, they become a menace to tho state when successfully defied. And after all, no law is a good law that does not meet the approval of the majority of poeple. The law is for the majority, or should he. If a majority wish to take chances on open saloons on Sunday, the minority should accede with as good a grace as possible. It remains then for the majority to be educated up to the minority views, where the latter are for the uplifting of the race. The question of whether Sunday closing Is for good, has been thrashed out from time immemorial, one might almost say, and there are righteous

advocates of it and others, equally righteous, opposed. It would save some from drunkenness and demoralization while there can be no doubt it would be the means of bringing these very evils to others who might not feel thir baleful effects if the saloons were open Sundays. The sight in St. Louis and other cities where Sunday closing is enforced, of groups of boys gathered on Sunday about a keg of beer, for which they have all "chipped in," causes some of the most staunch advocates of the enforcement of the law to wonder whether after all, these same boys would be in the saloons were the latter open. The cheapness of the commodity when purchased by the keg as compared with its price over the bar or even by the "can," makes It possible for boys with very little money to have "a good time" which they might not be able to afford under other circumstances. Then, too, there is the influence of drink about the home. Men who cannot tret alone

without their beer or whiskey, or who fancy they cannot, will pet intoxicated In their homes if the saloons are closed, where otherwise they would exercise that perogative in the saloon, and the children and the wife would be spared the sight and even the participation in the revelry. It Is a many sided question but in any event, the will of the majority should prevail, and if the problem can be solved for Chicago, now and for all time by the prosecution of the fifty cases now under indictment, the state's attorneys labor and the state's expense, will not have been in vain.

Chicago, Dec. 2?. President Charles A. Comiskey of the White Sox announced yesterday that he had submitted a proposition to President John I. Taylor of the Boston American League club to trade Eddie McFarland for Catcher Shaw of the Boston club. The deal has not been closed, although a decision is expected today. Shaw came from the Eastern league originally, was sold to 'the Pacific Coast league, and then went back to the Toionto club of the Eastern league. He was purchased two years ago by the Boston club and has shown some excel

lent work behind the bat. His batting ability has not been on a par with Mc-

Farland's but he is considered to be a

steady, hard working player. Presi

dent Comiskey said the proposed deal

would be an even trade and these two

players were the only ones who will

Circus Solly Hofman, utility man of

President Murphy will soon appear in the role of protector general for the minor leagues. He has submitted a' plan to the National commission which, he claims, will do away with petty brokerage in the case of drafted players. Under President Murphy's plan a club owner can not ask increased prices for drafted players unless they have been regularly enrolled on the club pay roll. When a player has been drafted from the minor leagues and is found to be lacking in major league ability the price for his repurchase by the minors shall be fixed by the draft

price. This has been one of the leading contentions of the minor leaguers for some years. Murphy declares their claim is a just one, and has set about to champion their cause. The National commission, it Is expected, will act on the plant at the January meeting.

Senator Hale, chairman of the naval committee of the senate, disagrees emphatically with the action of the president in adopting the recommendation of Surgeon General Rixey to assign medical officers to the command of hospital ships.
