ANGRY PRIEST AND ANGRY BOARD.
yATHER M'oUIRK WANTED LIQUOR LIcENsl


REVOKED. BUT THE EXCISE COMMISSION
ERs DIDN'T VIEW 1T THAT WAY
There was lively tilt yesterday at the Excise
Board meeting between the Rev. Father Mcouirk, OF
81 PauYs Roman Catholic Church, in East One-hun-
fred ghteenthst., and Commissioner FITZPATRICK
On Saturday last Father McQuirk called on the
Commissioner and asked why license had been
granted to NJ Boehn, of One hundreda eighteenth
st. and Park-ave. The Commissioner said that, as
there had been no objection made to the license by
any one and the place had always been q licensed
one there was no good reason for not granting it, and
now that it was granted the Excise Board could not
revoke IL without cause.
Father McQurk on the following morning, after
noon and night stood in his place before his con-
gregaton and denounced the Excise Board as gang
Of rascalss whose action in granting license to
Boehn was outrageous in the extreme The EXCISE
Board heard of the denuncatiOn and promptly sent a
letter to the priest asi1ng him to appear before the
Board Thursday and make some specific charges
against Boehns place.
In accordance with this request Father McQuirk
called on the Board yesterday before being
lie wanted 10 know the object If the Board would
revoke Boehns license he said, he would testify. If
on the other hand, as Commissioner Fitzpatrick had
said the Board could revoke the license then the
whole thing was farce and he would say nothing.
This b. ught Commissioner Fitzpatrick to his feet with
a denial 4 he had made any such statement. What
he did say vas that the Board could not revoke te
license except for cause.
Then Father McQuirk got as angry any good
man can coDscenciOusly get, and remarked that he
would not say another word The Board might
Justify their action to suit themselves. At the word
Justify Commissioner Koch took a hand in the argu-
ment said that he not looking for justification
from any one, and until he heard some good reason
for changing his opinion he should think that the
license in question properly granted. AS fol
justification 1t looked good deal to the Commissioner
as II Father Mcourk the one who wanted iusti
fcation.
Then the priest retalated by saving that Presi
dent Nealnn was not present he would not have any
hing to do with the matter. which would be con
rdered by two Commissioners who sure to stand
BY their own acts. Father Mcouirk closed his state
ments with q elncher-" This action of the Board will
lose many votes In the FAM
The Board learned that the principal reason foI
Father McQuirk's objection to the granting Of The
license was that Roehns liquor shop is within few
doors OF st. Marys Catholic Academy in Onehundred
and eighteentll-st. When The license granted thC
Commits soners did not know that the Academy wa
in that street and result OF not reporting it In
spector Walker suspended. Yesterday he nc
insated, as the board learned that the only external
evidence of an academy in the street a small
sign tackled onto the inside door, and not visible from
the street

The Truth No Libel.

From the New York Journalist.
There seems to be q mania at pres
emit to bring libel suits against news
papers. An epidemic exists among
evil doors to prove themselves moral
men, men whose pure and innocent
lives have been blackened by the ed.
itor's ink bottle. The most despicable
of all villains is the hypocrite who
cloaks his evil deeds under an out
ward show of pious morality. An
out-and-out thief and robber who
boldly admits his crimes and stands
up to the consequences, ms pires q
certain kind OF admiration. He, at
least, makes no false pretenses.
1t Is one of the duties of q news
paper to correct and purify public
morals so far as lies in its power. So
long as 1t clings to the truth, and
truth Is the best purifier, it has q
right to go:ahead bodily. Two recent
verdicts in libel suits against promi-
nent newspapers have strengthened
this position. In the case of Culver
against the Chicago Herald the jury
gave signal victory for the news
paper on the first ballot, and In the
recent suit against the Utica Observer
bu6 N6TulCb WAS uO Cduo6 lOT dCtlOu
In both cases the paper had told the
truth and the plaintiff had not a foot
left to stand on.
1t Is somewhat of puzzle why q
man who knows he Is guilty of all the
charges brought against him should
begin a suit at all. One would rather
suppose he would prefer his wrong
doing to rest without further expo
sure, but such is never the case.
"Whom the gods would destroy they
first MAKE mad" is the only sxplana-
ton. Do these bringers of libel suits
think that the statement of their evil
deeds in naked print has injured
them more than they have injured
themselves by committing them? Or
do they hope to cover up their tracks
and continue in their dark paths If
they only "keep 1t out of the news
papers?" 1t would be interesting to
know.
There are queer laws in some states
about what newspaper has ri ght
to print about the dark and crooked
ways of men. That 1t should not al
ways have right to print the truth
is q wrong state of things, and we are
glad to see that In Chicago and Utica,
at least, an honest jury has declared
that the truth Is no libel.
