HALL HAS A SUBS717U7E
FOR PROHIBITION BILL
Hon. Joe Hill Hall is the author of a
substitute for the Hardman-Covlngton
prohibition bill, which will be put on
Us passage Tuesday, this substitute
having been offered in the house on
Thursday morning.
The bill permits the sale of spiritu
ous, vinous and malt liquors in sealed
packages, but throws many restrictions
and safeguards around the concession.
It Is provided In the bill that It shall
not become effective until January,
1909.
The commissioner of agriculture Is to
Issue the license only after the appli
cant has secured th*» signatures of 200
freeholders who wish him to have the
license. It Is to be issued on payment
of $2,000 per annum, and the applicant
must give bond of $1,500 to preserve
the law.
No sale, the bill provides, shall be
for less than one pint or more than
three gallons, and no drinking Is to be
permitted on the premises. A further
provision Is that a record of the sales
made shall be kept, including the name
of the purchaser, the quantity and the
quality of the liquor, and the price paid,
Nothing is to bo sold on credit. The
place of sale is to be kept open from
6 a. m. until 6 p. m.
The bill will probably receive about
one-tlfth of the votes of the house—all
that are now and have been opposed to
the Hardman-Covlngton bill.

"In this cemetery are burled one
hundred of our ancestors. The blood
of the ancient royalty of France llows
