When Green came up to the door it
was opened for him, and the three

the place where criminals of both sexes
e~ongregate, to plan and commit crime.
These dives are the rendezvous of the
most notorious criminals in all our cities;
they should be closed. and completely des-
troyed by the strong arm of the law. The
remedy for this condition of affairs is to
reduce the number of saloons, by at least
one-haf, and to close the dives. by max
ing the license fee so large that they
cannot exist. This would put the bust
ness in the hands of responsible parties,
whose W interest will be to obey the
law, and to aid the officers of the law in
fully enforcing it. I believe that this re-
suit can be best obtained by a high IL
cense law, limiting the number of places

more, of population. Several of the
