BEER PARLORS
A major part of the regulatons to be drawn up by Mayor
Chase’s police committee will relate to the operations of
dispensaries in Cordova.
As the mayor and city council emphasized, strict obser
vance of liquor regulations is going to be required of the
owners of these establishments.
It is not good that the innocent should suffer with the
guilty, and that a tight curb should be placed on the trade as
a whole. However, it is known that more than one beer
parlor in the city is now violating the municipal ordinance
regarding closing hours. A subterfuge which does not fool
afiyone is being employed: the patrons adjourn to rear or
rooms upstairs where they are allowed to continue their
merriment and tippling after the main establishment has
closed.
Many people know of the places where this practice
persists, and the first step in our drive on lawlessness should
be to put an end to it.
A heedless disregard of laws in general begins with just
such infractions.—The Cordova Daily Times.

CURRENT
COMMENT
Washington, June 1st.
Among the matters that Congress
seems likely to consider at this ses
sion is our entry into the World
Court. A senator states that he will
oppose such a course unless Europe
settles her war debts. It is his view
that if the defaulting countries re
fuse to meet so plain an obligation
as paying their bills, they will not
meet more intricate obligations
which the Court may impose. In
! other words, who would want to
enter into business partnership with
a man who had already skinned
the business? There may be cogent
reasons for adhering to the World
Court, outweighing the senator’s ar
gument, but what he says certainly
has the ring of sound sense, taken
fur what it is worth and as far as it
goes.
During the past week the Royal
ists of Spain staged a demonstration
in favor of returning deposed King
Alfonso to the throne. Alfonso,
Nicholas of Russia, and William of
Germany went down and out pract
ically at the same time. Hi^ory re
cords few house cleanings so exten
sive and accomplished in so short a
period. Getting rid of kings is a
step forward, if the principles of the
American Revolution are correct. A
good deal has happened in Europe
since the monarchs mentioned retir
ed to private life. Perhaps some
Spaniards, Russians and Germans
feel that they have just ground for
concluding that Hamlet, rather than
George Washington, was right, and
that the wise man will bear those
1 ills he has instead of flying to oth
ers that he knows not of.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has before it a case involv
ing the question whether or not if
a contract calls for a payment in
gold, payment must be made in that
medium notwithstanding legislative
enactment to the contrary. Disre
garding a circumstance not usually
attendant upon a Supreme Court
decision, the dispute might be pass
ed over with the remark that it is
important, but no more so than many
other issues that might have come be
fore that tribunal in the past. The
thing to be noted is that pressure ex
erted by persons not before the court
is being brought to bear in an attem
