The Liquor Dealers Association Now
Has Ii Master in rs Hands
It was done last night
Hereafter the Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton will determine who shall and who
shall not sell Intoxicating drinks nnder a
license About half-past eight o'clock,
Aldermen Prigge, Donnelly and Van
Horn received q committee of the Execu-
tive COMMITTEES Of the Liquor Dealers
Association at the City Hall. The meet
ing had been arranged through the efforts
OF the Association, and vas q very har-
monious one. 1t lasted about an hour.
When the members of this conference
passed out of the A1dermanic chamber all
had the appearance of being thoroughly
satisfied with themselves and their
neighbors.
Soon after the adjournment I met one
of the committee of the Association.
1.-THE Aldermen intend" / said to him,
ITO give, your Association a chance,
/ believe"
ssYes, that is about the size of it. To
night the Excise Committee promised to
stand by us and to withhold any licenses
unless the application is endorsed by the
association; then the Aldermen viii hold
the Association responsible for the re-
Suits. s
HOW TO GET A LICENSE.
How may a person get the recon-
mendation of the association"
HE must first join it, and when he is
a member we can say to him:-Look here,
we have got certain rules and regulations
which mast he followed; among them
are rules to keep the front Goor closed
Sunday, and the liquor store SO darkened
thatnD one from the street can take offense
that there shall be no gambling. dice
throwing or pool or card playing on sun
day and that no women shall be admitted
to these places. III the applicant is will
ing to follow these rules, and he has q
good character, he viii be permitted to
join the Association and his application
for a license win be endorsed"
Suppose, after he receives his license,
be snaps his finger at the Association and
does as he pleasesgn
IF any one fails to follow the rules l
mentioned the Association VIII at once ak
pei him, and win notify the authorities of
his character and that of his place. If he
is thu cast out of the Association he can
it, and he will o learn that he had been
very foolish"
When do the licenses expire?"
PREPARING TO ACT.
July /; and tomorrow Wednesday, the
Executive Committee will hold a meeting
to decide which is the best and quickest
way to proceed to grant licenses and give
all satisfaction. Postal cards will be sent
to every dealer in the county informing
them of the joint action of the Excise
Committee and the Association and invit-
ing them to join The dues are but SO a
year, and ii a dealer cannot afford to pay
that amount to have his place guaranteed
a respectable one, we don't want him in
the business and he had better get out"
EVEN TAYLoR'S HOTEL MUST JOIN.
tNow one more question. De you
authorize me to positively assert that men
like Foley and John Smith, of Exchange
place, win be denied a license by the
Aldermen unless they join the associa-
tion?'
"That is our agreement and unless the
members of the Excise Committee break
their promise, Smith, Foley or any
else, not excepting Taylor's Hotel, must
join the Association Oh not receive a
Icense.n
