election

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-12-15

in doubt so long, after having aroused
their curiosity.
A prominent Republican said yesterday:
st am sure that the governor and at
torney general are acting in good faith,
and with all the haste possible, but II
seems to me that 1t was a mistake to
make the announcement SO long bfore
they were ready to act. When the SEN
timent of the people Is aroused to high
pitch, it needs something to feed upon.
and if 1t is allowed to die down, 1t is
hard to arouse 1t again.
When the people become tired of wait
ing for something definite to be done,
they lose interest in the matter and turn
and it is impossible to get them aroused
to the same extent again.
Gen. Douglas is aware Of this criti-
cism, but says: Certain things have
happened which delays our action, and
I am sure that when we finally do act.
the people will understand why we did
not act sooner, and will fully approve
our course. We are doing our best in
the matter, and are willing to abide this
criticism temporarily, because we are
sure of our position, and know that our
action will be sustained by public senti-
ment, when once our plans are made
known"
Both the governor and the attorney
general have been hampered in their
work by the interruption of hundreds OF
people who are very much afraid that
some vital points will be overlooked I'M
less they kindly offer advice to the
authorities. Both officials receive many
letters calling their attention to alleged
vital facts" and urging them not to

NO LACK OF SALOONS
FOR SIX YEARS
PAST
OVER THREE HUNDRED MARI
Competition Between Breweries Re-
sponsib1e for Unusual Briskness
in the Trade - More Pre-
dfcted for Next Year.

st. Paul has now within its limits more
saloons than it has had any year since
1885, When the present year has passed
into history it will show that 300 saloon
keepers have been given licenses. In 1886
the sum of $780, 900 was paid into the city
treasury by vendors of intoxicating liq-
uors, but a year later this dropped to
1926 co., Since that time about one
saloon a year has been added, until now
the number is almost even with the old
figure.
One saloonkeeper is authority for the
will not be far short of 315, he giving as
his reason the present activity of the
breweries, and the rivalry between them
for business. The brewers control fully
two-thirds Of the saloons in the city
now, and they are yearly adding to their
list.
Each saloon represents 81, 900 to the mu-
nicipality, and the question arises, how
can this be paid and the business be
profitable. One member of the fraternity
says some of them do not pay, but where
one of them is failure there are dozens
of others that make sufficient profit to
more than offset any deficit. 1t is also
a fact, he says, that the consumption of
beer is on the increase, while stronger
liquors show marked drop. This may
not be so noticeable in winter, but the
year as a whole shows the difference.
Many of the licenses expire with the
first Of the year, and from the number
Of applications now in the city clerk
Office the city TREASURY will be about
