THEY CAN'T AFFORD BOTH.
They Spend Money at the Merry-Go
Round and Not in Saloons,

There Is an interesting as well as an
amusing fight going on just now In Dis
trict government circles and one in which
the temperance people are Indirectly in
terested. as the affair appears to be a par
tial solution OF the liquor question. WILL
lam F. Ryan is the man on whom the
fight is being made and it is all because he
wants to run a merry-go-round. or flying
horses, in South Washington. He has been
on the same lot for some days, having paid
his license of $40 per week instead Of a
similar amount annually, as in years gone
by. making the annual tax $50 He has
had to procure signers to his application
and almost every resident of the locality
In which he desires to continue business
signed the paper. as did many of the police
men in the precinct
But Patrick Smith, a saloon keeper a
short distance away, objected, as did Act
Ing Lieutenant of Police Smith Now Mr..
Ryan is trying to overcome their obtec-
lions. So far as the saloon keeper is con-
cerned. he says 1t Is matter of business
with him, because many of the residents
spend their nickels on the merry-go-round
instead Of rushing the growler' and
spending the money in Mr.. Smiths saloon.
Now MIR. Ryan has had to employ a law
yer to present the numerous documents in
his case, besides enlisting the temperance
people in his cause.

been In the nature OF an address TO a kim

tended that the House yesterday had es-

Mr.. Rusk answered that he had no in
