A NEWSPAPER WHINE.
The Reason For the Dis.
t0rted Article.
A FEW INSIDE FACTS.
Why q Local Sheet Pities the Poor
Liquor Dealers"

Last evening there appeared In the
downtown sheet column article which
was prolonged whine OF a most pathetic
nature because the advertising of the H.
quor licenses had not been given to 1t. 1t
was a regular "squeal" from beginning to
end and an appeal to every body from the
Board down to the dealers to have pity on
the paper and help II out of the difficulty.
As matters were grossly misrepresented,
a member of the Board was seen about the
matter and was requested to state the facts
OF the case and they would be published
without any distortion or coloring, AZ Ia
always done by the hirelings of the stran-
gers down town. The commissioner said |:
"The cost of advertising the licenses
when they came singly In 1892 was be-
tween 20 and sl2 each.
"rhe members of the finance committee,
to whom the report on the commission
ers' books was referred found out that the
advertising of license applications was
cotsing the city great deal and they got
a ruling from IL o City Solicitor to the ef-
feet that the advertising OF liquor
licenses was of the same ma
ture as advertising probate no.
tices, and being published for the benefit
of the dealers, should be paid for by them.
The committee recommended to the
Board of Aldermen that the city pay for
no more advertising OF liquor licenses and
the Board adopted the recommendation
az did the Council 80 II the commits.
sioners had not charged the applicants for
the advertising they would have to pay
for 1t themselves.
"In order that each should pay the same
amount $40 was charged all, with the
understanding that the difference be-
tween the cost OF advertising and the
amount paid by the applicant would be
refunded.
"Ifthe Board had known Just how many
would be advertised n, once IL would have
known just how much to charge each.
"As 1t did not know, 1t thought 1t best
| to charge about the amount 1t costs to
advertise single license.
"The reason why we did net wait until
the applications were acted upon is be-
cause there is no way to collect the money
II license il refused.
"The thorn in the side OF the instiga
tors of the Times article is that they got
none OF the advertising. They usec
evrey means to influence the Commls lssion
ers and sent word In a roundabout way tc
the secretary asking him to give them the
advertising. Then the advertising
agent was sent, and the vote
OF the Board I'm regard to
the matter OF advertising was read to him
by the secretary who said there was no
| objection when the vote was passed and
that there was probably no chance tn
change the vote. Then a reporter was
sent to interview Messrs. keenan, and
jerks, in an attempt to make liar out of
the secretary.
"When Messrs. keenan, and jerks con.
firmed what the secretary had said, the
emissary begged them to take different
action. 1t was last Saturday when the
secretary received word from Mr.. Black
that he wanted the advertising; Monday
the agent called; Tuesday Messrs. jerks
and keenan, were intivIe we'd, and Wednes-
day the article appeared.

The season for opening the great Col

most noteworthy OF these Is perhaps the

shows he city as 1t was during the pro-
gress OF the fire, and will doubt
less prove one OF the marvels

interesting exhibition, and one that will
appeal strongly to the religious masses,
will be the new and magnificent panora-

Gettysburg. Hardy's Underground Thea

be the outlay on this enterprise alone. IL
is on Wabash avenue Just below the Lib

mated that II would cost a couple over two
